Cancellation forced upon 'Running Man' thanks to baseball broadcast

Posted by mountainmadman28 pts Sunday, October 16, 2011

SBS's popular variety program 'Running Man' was forced to undergo an unscheduled cancellation for this week's episode, thanks to the baseball game between the Lotte Giants and the SK Wyverns. Although viewers were warned in advance that the show would be delayed, it was announced that the program would be cancelled outright as the game dragged into overtime.  The game ended up finishing at approximately 6:30 PM, an hour after 'Running Man' was scheduled to begin. As word of the cancellation reached the expectant viewers, criticisms descended from left and right, with viewers saying "If pro baseball is going to be like this, send it to cable!" and "I've been waiting, why isn't it airing!" Manwhile, this week's episode had been drawing additional expectations thanks to the return of former cast member Song Joong Ki as well as guests Kim Joo Hyuk and Kim Sun Ah. The cancelled episode will be broadcast next week, with additional episodes being pushed back by one week. Source: TV Daily via Nate
