I Hear Federer Won

Hello. I heard Roger Federer won the US Open on Monday, beating Andy Murray in straight sets for his 5th US Open in a row. This is quite an accomplishment, since no one had done it since the 1920s. And it's 5 more US Open wins than Bjorn Borg!
Unfortunately I couldn't see it on TV. CBS in Buffalo decided to have its regular Monday programming instead. Same with TSN. In fairness to both networks, they decided to pass it on to "sister" networks which are only available on special cable packages.
I can understand why CBS did this, given the start time of the event. CBS has to cover more than sports. To have their news programming in particular be interrupted by an unplanned sports event is quite a change.
I have a tougher time with TSN. Sure they had a Monday Night football doubleheader on. But the tennis started 3 hours ahead of it, and I assume finished before the first game. Are the pregame shows important enough to be ahead of a tennis major final?
Then again, why wasn't the tennis final scheduled for say a 2pm start? That way only soap operas and other less important sports programming would've been impacted.
We'll see what happens next time a rainout happens.

Steve
