This sums up the Fox Network beautifully to me.

The World Series of Baseball trumps pretty much anything when it comes to broadcast time. The Super Bowl's a timesink, too, but the Super Bowl occupies a single evening of airtime one day a year; The World Series takes more than a week, and Fox's regular evening line-up gets thrown to the dogs for the duration.

In most coverage areas, Fox airs a couple of Simpsons reruns a night. These reruns, like everything else, get suspended while the World Series runs its course.

Only Fox, in their infinite wisdom, would nevertheless announce, during a commercial break in the very sporting event that proves them blatantly wrong, that their Simpsons reruns air "Every Night." And if that wasn't moronic enough, only Fox would air promos for their syndicated series using clips from the show that highlight a baseball theme.
