Good grief. Watch it on abc.com the following day.
Couldn't agree more. I've had to watch a couple recent episodes of "The Blacklist" via On Demand because our local NBC affiliate pre-empted it for a PRE-SEASON BASEBALL GAME! Not a weather emergency, not a major breaking story, a frigging EXHIBITION GAME.
Of course, if I subscribed to Comcast, which also owns the NBC affiliate, I could have watched it on their "secondary" broadcast station live. A not so subtle way to get more customers, eh, Comcast?
