Then Army-Navy switched to 12pm and the SEC game to 4pm. It stayed at 4pm when Army-Navy moved back a week.<br /><br />If it airs at 6pm ET, CBS still has to figure out programming for affiliates on the west coast or give the time back.Matt Sarzyniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967516926073948559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137059844561398433.post-56934381168682240382014-12-23T12:32:02.388-05:002014-12-23T12:32:02.388-05:00i am always shocked that CBS doesn't insist th...i am always shocked that CBS doesn't insist that the SEC Championship game be played later....say 6pm instead of 4pmUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13961847110572262942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137059844561398433.post-41958003347395637682014-12-23T08:27:44.956-05:002014-12-23T08:27:44.956-05:00I don't know if CBS wants the SEC in the early...I don't know if CBS wants the SEC in the early afternoon to avoid a clash with the ACC or Pac-12, if the SEC wants the afternoon kickoff, or if there is another motive. The theory that primetime MUST have the top game doesn't always hold up. That game provides them a good rating regardless of when it airs, but since it gets virtually an unopposed slot, why not milk it for all its worth?<br /><br />As for the Mountain West, I suppose the plan is that they want it to be a night game at the site of the game or at least in Hawai'i its a late afternoon (5pm HT) start.Matt Sarzyniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967516926073948559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137059844561398433.post-80034187552666477862014-12-22T13:52:59.529-05:002014-12-22T13:52:59.529-05:00The last two years there were only two games on in...The last two years there were only two games on in the late afternoon, one of them being the SEC title game. I was surprised that the MWC title game stayed in its unusual-for-broadcast time slot rather than moving to the late afternoon and the SEC title game moving to primetime.Morgan Wickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816659818434590943noreply@blogger.com
