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)
