As Americans await the news of who wins the presidential election tomorrow, regular TV programming could be impacted.
While Americans will choose between former President Donald Trump, the GOP nominee, and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, they will also be choosing who takes 435 U.S. House and 34 U.S. Senate seats.
However, as the nation awaits the news of who wins the presidential election on Tuesday, November 5, regular TV programming could be impacted, and many popular shows will skip their weekly runtime completely.
Newsweek has compiled a full list of schedule changes you should expect for your favorite shows from Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) and FBI to late night TV.Dancing With the Stars
Fans of DWTS will have to wait until Tuesday, November 12 to watch another episode because of Election Day.
During the show’s regularly scheduled time, ABC will instead be airing its election night coverage Election Night 2024: Your Voice/Your Vote. This will keep Americans updated with real-time updates on the Electoral College map and which candidate secures enough votes to become president.FBI
FBI is also not airing as usual on Tuesday, November 5 because of Election Day coverage.
The show will be back on its regularly scheduled programming Tuesday, November 12, but for Election Day, viewers will instead be able to watch the CBS News: America Decides: Campaign ’24 Election Night program.
It often makes the most sense for TV networks to delay airing the next week’s episode as most Americans will be glued to election night coverage and would miss a new episode if it was scheduled as usual.
