Bristol NASCAR race gets bumped from ABC in Charlotte for Redskins game
Aug 20 2014 - 8:10pm
Saturday night's Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway is scheduled to be shown on ABC but WSOC-TV in Charlotte will instead air a preseason Washington Redskins NFL game.
The Bristol race will instead air on TV-64 and will be viewable to cable subscribers as follows: Time Warner channel 1230, Charter channel 703, Compas channel 16 and Comporium channel 110.
Fans in Charlotte area who are satellite TV subscribers will be able to watch the race on ESPN alternate channels (DirecTV – channel 209-1; DISH – channel 145).
WSOC-TV will join the race in progress after football game ends and the telecast will air simultaneously on both. ABC affiliates are independently operated and can make their own programming decisions.
