No, I am not mentioning a situation where the Dodgers-Yankees go extra innings . In that case , the Rutgers-usc game will be bumped to FS1 .


The problem tonight is New York’s local Fox 5 is planning to show a special post game show for the Yankees. Then followed by the regular local news (which will obviously be bumped back) . There is a good chance the Rutgers game is not joined in the NYC television market until well into the game. I doubt Fox realizes this and puts the game on FS1 in just NY in the meantime.

It appears it could be be on channel 9 in its entirety . Some guides are showing that but Rutgers , fox or BIG have not announced this.


Remember, I predicted the Akron game BTN debacle correctly earlier in the day. Perhaps some reporter here or Rutgers can see my post and realize this and get a comment from Fox 5 and/or the BIG. This game needs to be on in its entirety somewhere in NYC . And people need to be told . Some are app watchers etc

For south Jersey folks, you don’t got to worry. No Phillies post game show on Fox tonight

I looked at my guide on YouTube tv and it doesn’t show the start of the game til midnight with WS postgame and local news coming before it.

I also saw channel 9 (my 9) showing the game starting at 11 so that might be where it is.

Maybe they fixed it! They should announce this
 
In Toms River area my guide shows the RU game on channel 905 at end of the WS game, no post game and on channel 809 starting at 11pm. Guess we will see.
 
Xfinity and same thing.

Fox 5: WS then post game then local news.
Rutgers starts at midnight

Channel 9: Rutgers starts at 11pm.

I have all “Rutgers Football Games” set to automatically record.
Channel 9 was set to record but Fox was not.

I manually set the Post Game, News and Rutgers/USC to record on FOX.
 
The TV guide for over the air TV has the game cut in at 12 midnight on channel 5, and the game starting at 11pm on channel 9.
 
It would make sense for Fox NY to run a trailer at the bottom of the screen around 11 saying where the game will be broadcast. May even pick up a few new fans who aren't ready to go to sleep.
