The Yankees will face off against the Baltimore Orioles tonight at 7 p.m. The game will air locally on WSTQ-TV, CW 6. Because of the game, "90210" and "Ringer" will be shown Saturday starting at 8 p.m.
The Yankees game was originally scheduled to air on WSTM, NBC 3, and has been moved to avoid disruption in NBC programming.
Statement from CNY Central President and CEO Chris Geiger:
CNY Central's TV stations have programming contracts with many different providers including networks and sports teams and sometimes those contracts conflict. In the case of Yankees baseball, we contract with the YES Network to air approximately 10 games on NBC3 and 10 games on CW6. Our broadcast games give viewers without premium cable or satellite some of the only opportunities to watch the Yankees on TV and we are proud to offer those games.
We do realize that these games sometimes disrupt regularly scheduled programs. We do our best to minimize these disruptions and to reschedule the programs when possible. In the case of tonight's Yankees game, we realize The Voice and Biggest Loser are extremely popular and tonight's episode of The Voice is an elimination show. We have been able to make arrangements to move the game to CW6. While we will not always be able to do this, we heard from our viewers and are glad we were able to make the change for tonight’s game.
