Attention #Oncers — #OnceUponATime WILL air tomorrow night in its entirety as soon as the President's speech is done. Hope to see you!

Heads up, y’all. President shouldn’t speak too long, but the show will be delayed a bit
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Note that this should likely only effect the East Coast/Central airings. The West Coast airing will probably air at its normal time without delays.

Canada will also most likely not be affected. If you are watching in Canada or a Canadian stream, please remember to keep it spoiler free in the chat and threads until after the East Coast has finished (roughly, 15 min past normal end time)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"This is going to be a ratings nightmare. People will tune in at 8pm expecting OuaT, see Obama start the speech, assume it’s not on and switch to something else. Ugh.

To be fair, FOX is also delaying their primetime lineup by 15 minutes for Obama’s speech. NBC and CBS will likely follow suit. It’s not like these broadcast networks want to delay their primetime programming, as they’re concerned about the ratings just as much as we are. However, they feel obligated to broadcast Obama’s speech, not just out of respect, but also out of safety following the tragic terrorist attack in San Bernadino. It could have been worse. We could have had OUAT interrupted for a “BREAKING NEWS” report without any prior planning, meaning we would have missed parts of the episode. Sadly, I have experienced that with an episode of Agents of SHIELD this Season, and an episode of Agent Carter last Winter. A delayed broadcast is much preferable than an interrupted one.

Nah. These special broadcasts happen enough that people know that it’ll be over in roughly 15 mins, especially with every major network airing it. They’ll be some little thing before hand about how the scheduled program will begin as soon as the President is done talking. The ratings will still be off because of it and we might have to wait until Tuesday for the “real” results but it’s not going to kill the show or anything.
