This chart is based on data for the fourth quarter, 1997 only. To calculate preemption rates, all programs for each network affiliate were tabulated in minutes and totalled, for each network separately. All preempted episodes were similarly tabulated in minutes. The preemption rate is the preemption minutes of all core programs shown on each network's affiliates during the quarter divided by the total amount of core program minutes for the network's affiliates. The average preemption rate for all stations in the database is 4.4 percent. All three of the largest networks exceeded that  XI-average. UPN, WB and Fox affiliates all preempted fewer than one percent of their core  X4-programming. UPN and WB do not currently provide coverage of nationwide sporting events to their affiliates and Fox scheduled most of their educational programming during the weekday afternoons. These factors led to a below average preemption rate for the emerging  X-networks. Univision, PaxTV, HSN and Trinity were summarized as other networks and preempted approximately seven percent of their core programming. Independents were stations that did not identify themselves as being affiliated with any network.  X#-x?64.` ` Chart 3 presents network O&O reported preemption rates. This chart is based  X$-on data from all three quarters. NBC O&Os preempted the most hours of any network with a  Xk%-preemption rate of just over ten percent. CBS O&Os had the lowest preemption rate of the three networks at four percent. Charts 3ac present preemption rates for each of the three quarters to illustrate that seasonal sports events affect the network O&Os at different times of"?''0*((%"  X-the year. ABC had a higher than average preemption rate (14.7 percent) in the fourth quarter,  X-1997, but the ABC O&Os did not preempt many programs in the following two quarters.  X-CBS O&O preemptions were highest in the first quarter, 1998, (8.0 percent). NBC O&Os had a higher than average preemption rate for each of the last two quarters (9.1 percent and 15.4 percent).  X|-x@65.` ` Chart 4 shows how the network preemption rates vary by time zone. This chart illustrates the impact of national sporting events across time zones. The data in this chart are based on O&O submissions for the three quarters ending June, 1998. Due to the changes in local time across the country, a live event that occurs at 1:00 PM in the Eastern Time Zone will occur at 10:00 AM in the Pacific Time Zone. Since most children's programs are scheduled on Saturday morning (for the three largest networks), the impact of live sports will generally affect Saturday morning programs the most in the Pacific Time Zone. Charts 4 ad show how O&Os in different time zones have different preemption  X -patterns for the same sports events. This was particularly true for ABC O&Os. ABC O&Os preempted 38 percent of their core programs on the West Coast (about 5 preemptions per program series) in the fourth quarter. This was the highest preemption rate for any network  X-in any time zone. The CBS O&Os preempted nearly 20 percent of all program episodes in  Xl-the Pacific Time Zone in the first quarter 1998. For all three quarters, ABC O&Os preempted  XW-15 percent of West Coast programs and NBC O&Os preempted 14 percent of West Coast  XB-programs. ABC Sports broadcasts college football games on Saturdays in the Fall. College  X--football broadcasts have been identified as the reason for most of the ABC O&O's  X-preemptions. ABC does not have such extensive commitments for Saturday morning sports  X-during other seasons. NBC Sports broadcasts the NBA playoff games, Notre Dame football  X-and the Wimbledon tennis tournament. CBS Sports broadcasts college football, NCAA  X-basketball and the U.S. Open tennis tournament but CBS O&Os have generally had fewer sportsrelated preemptions throughout this past television season.  X-xA66.` ` Chart 5 shows network preemptions by time of day. The data in this chart are based on O&O Form 398 submissions for all three quarters. Early morning preemptions (preemptions of programs aired before 9:00 AM) generally only occurred in the Pacific Time Zone. Programs scheduled to air between 12 noon and 1:30 PM were preempted the most often (over 15 percent of the time). Programs aired between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM are preempted approximately 10 percent of the time.  X-xB67.` ` Chart 6 shows the preemption rates and seasontodate average national audience ratings of various core programs. This chart uses O&O Form 398 submissions for the past three quarters and cumulative national ratings data for children's programs as  X"-measured by Nielsen Media Research. "Science Court" and "Winnie the Pooh" are ABC programs that were generally scheduled near the end of their four hours of core programming.  X$-These programs were generally preempted at least once by ABC O&Os. The other ABC  Xo%-programs were generally only preempted in the Pacific Time Zone. NBC O&Os generally air their "teen block" of core programs later in the day than the other networks' core programming. "NBA: Inside Stuff", "Saved by the Bell II" and "Hang Time II" are often"C''0*((%" aired in the late morning or afternoon. Charts 6a6c present the preemption rate for individual core program series on O&Os by quarter of the year, again, illustrating the effects  X-of seasonal sports broadcast on the different networks. Most of ABC's preemptions occurred  X-in the fourth quarter, 1997 due to NCAA football games. Most of CBS's preemptions  X-occurred in the first quarter, 1998 primarily due to NCAA basketball games. Most of NBC's preemptions occurred in the second quarter, 1998 primarily due to NBA playoff games.
