President Donald Trump's scheduled 9 PM ET speech will disrupt all four major broadcast networks' schedules, disrupting new programming including The Masked Singer, Survivor, Chicago Fire, and The Greatest Average American. The broadcast was delayed for 24 hours, forcing broadcasters to scramble to accommodate the disruption. The Masking Singer and Survivor will both be paused at 9 PM to switch to Trump's 20-minute broadcast. Meanwhile, CBS will air an all-new America’s Culinary Cup from 10:20 PM to 11:20pm. There will be no primetime interruption on the West Coast where the speech will air at 6 PM.
