Grammy Awards to Air Live on the West Coast… Sort Of

The Los Angeles Times reports that CBS has agreed to air the Grammy Awards live on the TV stations it owns in four markets — Los Angeles (KCBS), San Francisco (KPIX), Sacramento (KOVR) and Denver (KCNC). Starting with the 58th Annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 15 at the Staples Center, the live feed of the program that was previously shown live only in the Eastern and Central time zones will be seen at 5pm PT and 6pm MT on those four CBS-owned stations. CBS affiliates that currently run the telecast on a delayed basis also have the option to take the live feed. All CBS stations and affiliates in the western time zones will continue to show a tape-delayed Grammy’s telecast in prime-time as they have in the past.
