NBC’s January 10 “This Is Us” To Air After President Obama’s Address

This Is Us [NBC]

NBC’s coverage of President Barack Obama’s farewell address will not bump the “This Is Us” midseason premiere to another night.

It will, however, push the eagerly anticipated episode to a later time period.

Per NBC, “This Is Us” will air at 10PM ET/9PM CT/8PM MT on January 10. It normally airs one hour earlier.

The episode will meanwhile air twice on the west coast — from 9-10PM PT and 10-11PM PT.

Obama’s speech is set to air from 9-9:40PM ET; NBC will bridge the gap between the speech and “This Is Us” with portions of a “The Wall” encore.

The network’s January 10 broadcast plan follows:

Eastern time zone
8 p.m. — “The Wall” (original)
9 p.m. — President Obama address
9:40 p.m. — “The Wall” (encore of Dec. 19 episode, joined in progress)
