Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect the news that Baroness von Sketch Show is running 5 bonus episodes on CBC early in 2021.
Transplant airs on Tuesday nights at 10 pm Eastern on NBC and CTV. The Baltimore-Pittsburgh NFL game started out on Thanksgiving night. The game was moved to Sunday due to COVID-19 numbers for the Baltimore Ravens. The game, originally scheduled to air on NBC, was moved to Tuesday.
NBC chose to move the Tuesday programming to Thursday nights, putting Season 1 Episode 11 Orphans on a 48-hour delay. Late yesterday, the NFL moved the game once again to Wednesday.
The network announced last night that the original Tuesday night programming will return to Tuesday night.

NBC normally has the Sunday Night Football package but gets the nighttime U.S. Thanksgiving game as part of the deal. NBC moved the programming to Thursday instead of Wednesday because the network was carrying coverage of the Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller Center, home of the NBC headquarters.
If you are a Transplant fan and not a fan of football, you might not have even known the show had been temporarily moved. We always remind people to check your local listings.
NBC is running the final 2 episodes of Transplant back-to-back a week from tonight December 8 at 9 pm and 10 pm Eastern.
The return to Tuesday nights is convenient to CTV, which is running a sim sub on the repeats in Canada that are new to the U.S. audience.

NBC starts running the Global series Nurses Monday night at 10 pm Eastern. The first 2 episodes run on Mondays before moving into the Transplant timeslot Tuesday nights at 10 pm Eastern in 2021 on January 5.
Trickster from CBC hits the U.S. airwaves on the CW on January 12.
We have been very pleased with Transplant in its first season. We are mostly happy with Coroner though the show goes off on odd tangents. We implore the U.S. networks to keep these shows well past the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
