Where continuous coverage of the international virus should air and other temporary TV changes, at least in the Tampa Bay area

Continuous TV coverage of the coronavirus outbreak in the US should air exclusively on pay TV networks CNN, Fox News Channel, and MSNBC, while all local broadcast stations and other pay TV networks should continue airing their regular schedules.

On weekends, instead of infomercials, the local stations that usually air infomercials on the weekends should air syndicated reruns of some TV classics and syndicated airings of movies, because there would be no sports for less than a year due to the international virus.

Some TV productions suspended, but not HSN or my YouTube video series!

I'm a good YouTube star, but some TV productions had already been suspended due to the Chinese coronavirus (AKA COVID-19, the Trump Virus, the Spring Break Virus, and the International Virus Disease of 2020).

Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune have already had production suspended, though new episodes still air, with reruns on Saturday nights. WTSP is the local station, however.

The Real continues to air new episodes on WTVT at 1PM weekdays, but may have had changes in production due to the international virus. Other syndicated shows may have also had production suspended.

My own series of YouTube videos will continue production, despite the international virus itself.

CBS, TBS, TNT, and TruTV will never air any coverage of the NCAA men's division 1 basketball tournament despite its cancellation due to the international virus.  While being hunkered down in your house, be sure to watch any past NCAA tournament games on YouTube or some other video sites devoted to college basketball games. TBS should air reruns of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee despite the suspension of production of new episodes of Samantha Bee's talk show. TBS should also air reruns of Conan despite the suspension of production of new episodes of Conan O'Brien's talk show.

HSN hasn't stopped production of any live shows, but should continue business as usual, despite the international virus. If HSN stops production of any live shows due to the crisis, they should air pre-recorded reruns of older shows such as older episodes of Beauty Report with Amy Morrison and The List with Colleen Lopez as well as the early episodes of Wake Up Beautiful with Valerie, Adam's Open House, Something's Cooking with the Smiths, Obsessed with Style, Sunday Fashion Edit with Callie Northagen, Saturday Morning with Callie and Alyce, Welcome Home with Alyce, and former HSN shows Lunch Rush with Michelle Yarn and the final era of HSN Today co-hosted by Guy Yovan and Shannon Fox from 2017.
