Page "WBAY-TV" Paragraph 8

The station formerly pre-empted the first hour ( 7-8pm Central ) of the ABC lineup on Tuesday evenings during the football season to carry the local program Tuesday Night Touchback, which was formerly known as Monday Night Countdown before it was moved in 2007 because of Dancing with the Stars and the departure from ABC of Monday Night Football ( for most of the 2000s ( decade ), the slot has been among the lowest-rated on ABC's primetime schedule, as was the case with the pre-MNF timeslot ).

That hour then aired later on early Wednesday morning after Jimmy Kimmel Live!

during the football season.

However in November 2009 this was changed temporarily due to viewer feedback involving the pre-emption of the series premiere of V which forced that program to be aired after the Saturday late news ; for the remainder of November V aired at 7pm, while Tuesday Night Touchback pre-empted The Insider and aired before prime time in a half-hour truncated form.

In the 2011-12 season however, TNT has not aired, and all of Tuesday night's programming airs in-pattern.
