No offense to CCWS, but IMO this is an incredibly stupid move. Delayed telecasts do not draw nearly as much viewership as live telecasts
To be fair, I doubt we can attack the CCWS-powers for this: one can be sure they would pick live over tape-delayed any day of the week. The CCWS-powers hold much of the responsibility for the product not being viewed as necessary for live coverage, but they are not directly responsible in this particular instance.

Unless, of course, there is some kind of clear evidence that this is a desired situation (as compared with all-live) from the CCWS POV. If this is the case, unlikely as it may appear, then one would have to question the presence of sanity.
