If you're curious, here's some viewership numbers from 2023: 97th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (8:30am EST to 12:00pm EST): 22.3 Million 97th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Repeat (2:00pm EST to 5:00pm EST): 5 Million The National Dog Show (12:00pm EST to 2:00pm EST): 11.5 Million NFL Football Games: 34.1 Million (3 game average) Thanksgiving is a good day for a one to many model!
NOTE: Be aware that stations in the Central Time Zone may either delay the programming by an hour so it airs at 8:30am CT for NBC's Parade coverage and not live or air at 7:30am CT live. I think it depends on the NBC affiliate.
NBC Time shifts like they typically do with their entire morning block. I looked to see if the Peacock Workaround still exists and it looks like per USA Today they may be using their Geoblocking Technology to Simulstream.
@Skeet284 yes exactly. That I don't know if they'll do that. I think Peacock has allowed morning programming to go live there in the past but I'm not sure if they'll do so this time so that those in Mountain, Pacific, Alaska or Hawaii time zones can join in live via Peacock.
@@TheRolyPoly I do get why they treat it like the Today Show fwiw. In the social media era it isn't the best idea. But it does still draw even being time shifted to the appropriate time for each TZ so there is that just gonna depend if there has been enough leakage from Peacock to determine if it will be time shifted there. I know the workaround worked last year fwiw.
You don't want to spoil your thanksgiving with how they have totally botched the ATSC-3 system with the DRM and encryption nonsense. Currently the situation looks bad and is getting worse.

The FCC tends to under estimate the stations you can receive. Use it as more a lower limit than and accurate prediction.
Porque los canales d nexgentv ATSC3.0 el audio dice DOLBY AUDIO AC4 Y NO DICE ATMOS.
Fox used to play a family movie immediately after their Thanksgiving NFL coverage. Now it looks like we're getting a Masked Singer
Any updates from the FCC that’s in regards to the ongoing online DRM requirements that some of the station owners have put in place?
