Fans of Bachelor in Paradise are excited to watch Monday night’s Season 5 finale episode. Unfortunately, ABC is facing some schedule complications due to Monday night’s NFL games and this means that the BIP show will be bumped in some markets. Luckily, people won’t have to miss all of the action ahead, but those in the impacted areas will have to make some viewing adjustments.
The news of potential Bachelor in Paradise preemption was shared via the show’s Twitter page Monday afternoon. They noted that those who live in Los Angeles can watch the show on KDOC — channel 56 — as it airs live during its regular time. Those in San Francisco will need to set their DVRs to record the finale overnight, as it’s slated to air at 1:05 a.m. Pacific. In addition, Detroit residents may need to make some alternate arrangements for viewing, as the show will air live on channel 20, call-sign WMYD.
NFL.com notes that Monday night brings two games. The Detroit Lions will face off against the New York Jets in Detroit, while the Oakland Raiders and Los Angeles Rams battle in Oakland. The two-hour finale will air as anticipated in most areas across the country, but this preemption news isn’t going over well with those in affected markets.
