They will not cut away from a late-running tennis match or baseball game to show drag racing, no matter what network it is.

I had to reluctantly agree with this (and still do) but then I remembered an incident within the last year that went beyond this.

There was the sporting event that ran OT, and they had a half hour show scheduled afterward which was strictly talking about sports. No event in it at all. The game ran at least 45 minutes overtime, after which they ran the whole 30 minutes of talking about sports before they showed the race.

It seems to me an actual sporting event should always take precedence over a talk show.
