UPDATE: Programming Changes by NBC Affect West Wing
KSDK-TV (St. Louis, MO)
(KSDK) -- Changes to NBC programming this week and in the coming week will not effect storylines, according to NBC.
On Wednesday, NBC made a late-minute decision not to air West Wing because of tremendous interest in the baseball playoffs.
On Thursday NBC announced the programming lineup will remain the same for Thursday night, however, all shows will be reruns.
"NBC has a limited amount of new Thursday episodes each year. Our goal is to have as many people view these episodes as possible. With the growing interest in postseason baseball and a pivotal game 7 airing this evening, we felt it was in the best interest to hold the original episodes for a later date, so as many viewers could watch it. Your viewers are not missing anything and the storylines they have been following this season will continue on 10/30."
NBC also announced that next week's episode of West Wing WILL be a new episode.
NewsChannel 5 will do its best to keep you informed about any changes that may occur. We are truly sorry for any inconvenience.
