CBS said today it will air a rebroadcast of NCIS: New Orleans at 9 PM, and move a scheduled original episode of Salvation to 10 PM, pre-empting an original episode of Elementary. Comedy series Mom and Man With a Plan will air at their regularly scheduled times of 8 PM and 8:30 PM, respectively.
ABC will air The Bachelorette in its regular 8 PM EST time slot but will break in for Trump’s announcement and return to the show afterward. Both The Bachelorette and The Proposal, which airs at 10 PM, will be seen in full. Local news will begin late on the East Coast, as will Jimmy Kimmel Live. West Coast programming will air as scheduled.
As with the selection of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, the Trump administration is taking extraordinary measures to build suspense and keep the final selection under wraps for as close to the announcement as possible. In the case of Gorsuch, he and federal appellate judge Thomas Hardiman were the established favorites, and there were reports that the White House had both travel to DC for the announcement to keep suspense high.
Hardiman is again said to be on Trump’s shortlist for the President’s second pick to the nation’s highest court within 18 months.
We’ll be updating as additional scheduling changes are announced.
The media hates him but loves him for the ratings/hits he generates. No wonder they’re confused. Can you imagine these ratings/hits if Hillary had been elected? People hated the sound of her voice (like that of a nagging wife/mother-in-law). Nobody would tune into that. It’s why her rallies were so sparsely attended. You know, when she bothered to have any.

Surprised he isn’t making the announcement exclusively on Fox with the FIVE humming “Hail to the Chief” as background music.
Interrupting the Bachelorette? Now he’s gone too far.
Interrupted by an episode of Celebrity Judicial Apprentice….
Because, ya’ know, he just isn’t on tv enough.
A sitting president being investigated for possible collusion with a foreign adversary should never be allowed to go near our judicial branch – this country has no concept of freedom and how’s we are slowly losing it so the few can feel “safe” – nobody is safe you f’ing pusses
