It’s elementary: When WKRC-TV (Channel 12) broadcasts prime-time Bengals games, some of your favorite shows get punted to another station or time period.
On Thursday, when Channel 12 airs the Bengals-Browns, here’s how you’ll find the season premieres for “Elementary” and “Mom,” plus new episodes of the “Big Bang Theory,”“Life in Pieces” and “Entertainment Tonight”:
WSTR-TV (Channel 64) will air the CBS lineup 8-10 p.m. Thursday instead of MyNetworkTV drama repeats:
8 p.m. “Big Bang Theory,” new episode
