So, to play this completely straight -- on CBSSN at noon is Tulane/Army. So, we're not attractive enough to bump that game (which is objectively true). I have no idea how these things work, but if CBS owns the rights and they could have optioned it to, I dunno, CBS, noon-3 is paid programming.
I get that we're not going national on CBS in the noon-3 slot (local stations must have some protections to make $$, etc.), but how can we not get on WFSB, at least, live at noon? Or is it that important for CBSSN to protect it''s rerun in the evening as a 'first aired' or whatever?
