Clarification on 10/8 WWE NXT Episode Airing on Tape Delay in St. Louis

The October 1 episode of NXT was important as it marked the show’s debut on the CW Network, and fans enjoyed a night filled with memorable moments. As NXT continues its road tour, the next episode on October 8 will be held at The Factory in Chesterfield, Missouri, which is part of the St. Louis market. Contrary to earlier suggestions, fans in St. Louis will not be watching the show on a tape delay.

Previous listings showed that KPLR Channel 11, the CW Network’s St. Louis affiliate, chose to air local news during NXT’s regular broadcast time. Consequently, the show would have been aired on a tape delay from 9 to 11 PM instead of its usual 8 PM slot.

However, according to PWInsider, clarification was given. KPLR in St. Louis announced that the show will air on Tuesday nights from 8 PM to 10 PM on St. Louis 11. KPLR-TV’s news program will continue to air at 7 PM. The network has noticed that some listings companies have incorrect times listed for NXT and is working to fix this issue.

”ST. LOUIS — NXT is part of WWE, created to develop future superstars and now moving to the CW Network. WWE NXT airs Tuesday nights, 8pm – 10pm on St. Louis 11. KPLR-TV St. Louis 11’s longstanding news airs at 7pm.
