Susan Boyle

Hey Susan - You Bumped Me!

Susan Boyle has bumped US President Barack Obama from the prime time television slot on NBC. Mr Obama had wanted to broadcast his press conference at 9pm on Wednesday on NBC to lay out his plans for reforming America’s private-sector health care system, according to an article in The Telegraph.

However, Susan Boyle’s inteview has bumped Barack Obama from this prime time slot. Mr President’s interview will now be screened at the earlier time of 8pm, when it will be aired live simultaneously on three US networks, one of which is NBC.

The pre-recorded interview with Susan Boyle will be broadcast in the 9pm slot.

A US television insider told the Daily Express: “The television networks normally comply even if it is in prime viewing time.

“It can lose them ratings and millions of dollars in advertising revenue. But NBC dug its heels in and refused to push Susan out of the prime time slot, so the White House just had to blink.”
