CBS’s Primetime Sunday Series Will Be Listed to Start 30 Minutes Later than Usual on National NFL Doubleheader Dates in Eastern and Central Time Zones, with “60 Minutes” Leading the Night at 7:30 PM, ET and 6:30 PM, CT
CBS’s Sunday alerts, which help Network viewers track primetime series time changes on national NFL doubleheader weekends, will resume this month. The first NFL doubleheader Sunday is Sept. 18, but the alerts will begin Sunday, Sept. 11, due to a late afternoon game being covered in select regions that may impact the primetime schedule in those markets. The updates will be provided via on-air graphics, a ticker on the home page of CBS.com and social media posts.
On Sundays:
- The home page of CBS.com will feature a ticker with revised start times when there are delays.
- CBS will continue to use on-air graphics throughout the night to alert viewers to adjusted start times.
- Updates will be posted to Twitter via @CBSTweet and @CBS, to Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/CBS and to the Sunday series’ Twitter and Facebook accounts:
