Well, if this doesn't just top it all! The yearly coverage of this show is being cut short on Monday evening for wrestling! I've watched this dog show both nights on USA since they started coverage and it has never been interrupted for another show!
I really don't know who at USA came up with this brilliant idea, but it's not a good one! I am very disappointed in this move by USA and hopefully someone will come to their senses next year and go back to the wonderful coverage that has been given to the viewing audience in the past years.
Wake up USA...we dog people don't like our shows cut short, especially when it is considered THE MOST IMPORTANT dog show of the year!
Full Version: Not nice to fool with dog people!
Hi Bubba here, I wonder why the change this year.

I will 2nd, 3rd and 4th that statement. We want full coverage - we can watch wrestling all the time, Westminster is only a once a year program.

And we wrestling people don't like our shows moved. Since we outnumber you, we win. Welcome to the world of business.

We can see dogs outside everyday, each Raw show only airs for so long.
Everybody just relax. Westminster will be shown from 9-11 (8-10 central) on CNBC. I do agree that it's silly for a once a year event to split the coverage, but at least we can still see it.
I am sure many think wrestling is much more entertaining and better than dog shows. It is all in the eyes of the viewer, but this sucks!!!
USA, you have blown this big time! How many years of loyal Westminster viewers have you had and just screwed.
I guess this is NBC's way to get a few viewers to CNBC.
Maybe it is time for Westminster to start network shopping!

I would say this is probably something USA couldn't get out of with WWE. This show elicits great viewing numbers for them, I doubt they did this willingly.
Remember, WWE is the entity that had to argue with the World Widlife Fund about usage of the WWF acronym. Somehow, I think that they have contracts without loopholes these days.
So switch to CNBC after the first hour (and it even comes in High Def with the right carrier). Shouldn't be a problem. Besides - the big night with Best in Show is intact!
