Ch. 4 will not be showing the entirety of the Detroit-Nashville hockey game scheduled for NBC Sunday because of its coverage of the Pope's visit to Big Town.
Until the Pope portion of the TV day is over, the game will be shown on WNBC 4.4, a digital channel not available to everyone. (It's on Ch. 110 on Cablevision, I believe).
The entire game will also appear on MSG Plus.
There's an NBA playoff game on Ch. 7 Sunday. I will let you now if/when I hear about the game plan for that apparent conflict.
(UPDATE: I am told the game will be seen on ESPN2, thus accommodating Pope watchers and basketball watchers.)

Ok, I got this one....ya can't slip Alex Delvecchio past me Neil.
I'm guessing that's Arnie Brown, Ranger's Dman in the background.
Francesa already lives in NY. How can he "visit". :)
Neil...with the Pope in town the Devils have no chance against the Rangers in Game 5 !
Alex D., it is, Mr. Islander505.
Did the Pope deliberately come to America in one of the three weekends that NA$CAR is off between Washington's Birthday and Thanksgiving? He must not have wanted to suffer the fate of Red Sox vs Yankees and get pre-empted.
