Television Pre-emption
Because of the Southern California wildfires, which began on race morning, KABC in Los Angeles showed the race on a digital subchannel rather than on its main channel. This meant that the broadcast was available in the second-largest media market in the United States only on digital cable and on stand-alone sets with digital tuners. Viewers who receive KABC on satellite services DirecTV and Dish Network had to do without.
KABC also did not air NASCAR Countdown for a second consecutive week.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents- to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
