Channel 38 and CBS?

It took a few seconds for the odometer to click and realize, yes, this
was primary night.

But as Scott said in another message ... the networks are doing
virtually nothing on this. I guess having a sister station to bail out
of programming for helps encourage WBZ to do such pre-empting but I'm
still surprised they'd blow out their regular programming and not put
the primary coverage on Channel 38 instead.
