		On Saturday, Oct. 20th, "Little Bill" and "Blues Clues" were preempted so that the station could carry the local "American Royal Parade." These episodes were rescheduled to their Fixed Second Home earlier in that day. On Saturday, Nov. 10, 2001, CBS News interrupted our regularly scheduled programming for an address by President Bush to the United Nations General Assembly. That special report aired from 9:37:31AM-10:01:37AM. KCTV was unable to reschedule the program following this "late breaking news" event. On December 1, 2001, "Little Bill" and "Blues Clues" were preempted by CBS sports programming coverage of the Army-Navy football game. Both shows were rescheduled into their Fixed Second Homes earlier that day. Neighborhood Weather Network: Many schools throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area are equipped with Automated Weather Source systems and make up KCTV5's Neighborhood Weather Network. The systems are designed so students and teachers can access their own local weather stations or any other remote station on the network and view the data collected in a number of different formats. This data can be integrated into a hands-on classroom curriculum, including lesson packs for all grade levels. The different weather networks are also used during newscasts to show current weather conditions at different locations throughout the community.
