DALLAS — TEGNA and the Dallas Mavericks are partnering to locally broadcast a number of the team's remaining games in the 2023-2024 NBA season.
This will lead to a handful of changes for some WFAA programming.
Because Friday night's Dallas Mavericks matchup against the Utah Jazz will tip off at 9 p.m., "WFAA News 8 at 10" will not air in its usual 10 p.m. time slot.
Instead, a special edition of the local news will air live at 8 p.m., followed by a live Dallas Mavericks pre-game tipoff show at 8:30 p.m.
Meanwhile, "Shark Tank" will air as scheduled at 7 p.m. on WFAA's main broadcast signal as part of ABC's regular Friday night programming. The "20/20" broadcast originally slated to air from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. is, however, being preempted.
"20/20" viewers can still watch the show in its expected Friday night timeslot on WFAA's 8.2 over-the-air broadcast signal. The show will also be available for streaming live on Hulu starting on Saturday morning.
This week's "20/20" episode will not be re-aired overnight on WFAA's main signal.
