You get panned by the press and audience when you pre-empt regular programs, and by the same if you don't.

Most will always err on the side of carrying the news coverage.

(And actually, the local affilliate may not have a choice. If that's what the network is sending, that's what they have available to air)
Was this just local coverage? I wasn't aware of a national broadcast for her funeral.
