NBC Sports announced that if news coverage of the Iraq war pre-empts sports programming this weekend, it would shift coverage of the PGA Tour’s Bay Hill Invitational to CNBC. Live coverage from
Orlando, Fla., would air on CNBC from 3 p.m.-6 p.m. Saturday and, if necessary, from 2:30 p.m. – 6 p.m. Sunday. CNBC is available in 84 million households. The event is sponsored by Cooper Tires. At
press time, there still weren’t plans finalized to cover the network’s scheduled regional coverage of three Arena Football League games Sunday.
