Isn't That Special?

I was just watching TV.  The programming on my local CBS affiliate was preempted by a press conference giving us the latest California coronavirus news.  Then that got preempted by CBS national news informing us the SpaceX launch had been aborted due to weather conditions.

I've never seen a double preemption. It was sort of exciting.  Though, to be honest, neither message seemed so important that they had to break in.  I don't know who makes the decision, though I guess I know now the national team wins out over the local team. (Or does it?  Did the local team resent being taken off the air?  Could it have done anything about it?)

PS  I was flipping through the channels when I saw this.  I think normal CBS programming at the time was The Talk.  I don't really watch that show, but I would expect fans were doubly annoyed today.
