Last Hour of March 6th Finally Announced

APT has had this block set aside as TBA for several months. Clearly, NBC had plans for this time slot. Why did they delay notifying local stations so long? Is this another NBC News Special On/Off/On event like the GOP debate?

And did they really just figure this out at 7:35pm last night?

Yep, NBC News is apparently running prime scheduling again. Let's count how many times this changes in the 23 days until the event. Who wants money on the last date of a change? My money is on Friday, March 2nd, at 7:35pm.
