Channel 4-1 (NBC), 5-1 (Fox Broadcasting*), 9-1 (CBS), and 9-2 (Justice) are all showing it. Channel 7-1 is showing college football. By coincidence, it's the Sinclair-owned local station.

I thought nothing was allowed to interrupt college football on Saturday. Channel 20-1, which is part of Channel 5, is showing the Fox college football game. Channel 4-1 usually shows rugby at this time on Saturday afternoons.

Broadcast TV - Washington lists the Baltimore stations too. They are showing what would have been shown by the DC stations were it not for the parade.

I don't see why Channel 9 is showing the parade on two of its channels. Why doesn't it show its college football on 9-1 channel and the parade on 9-2? I suppose at the end of the parade, 9-2 will go back to its normally scheduled programming of abducted teens.

The weather is perfect - not a cloud in the sky, and temperature in the mid-50s. I'm no big baseball fan, but it's nice to see people out and enjoying the day.

* No, this is not Fox News.
