The Voice Cuts Monday Episodes to Just One Hour as Knockout Rounds Continue
3 Nov
Summary
- The Voice's schedule changes during Season 28
- Monday episodes reduced to 1 hour starting November 3
- Knockout Rounds continue despite schedule shifts
As Season 28 of the hit singing competition show The Voice progresses, the program has been subject to various scheduling adjustments. When the season premiered in September, it was airing on Mondays for 2 hours and Tuesdays for 1 hour.
However, the situation has evolved in the past month. Some Tuesday episodes were extended to 2 hours, but by the end of October, NBC began airing NBA basketball games on Tuesday nights, leading The Voice to switch to a single 2-hour time slot on Mondays.
Now, with more programming to air on Mondays, the network has decided to further reduce The Voice's time slot. Beginning on November 3, the show will only air for 1 hour on Mondays, starting at 9/8c. This change is expected to last at least through November 10, when the Knockout Rounds are scheduled to continue.
Despite the scheduling upheaval, the Knockout Rounds will press on as planned. In this round, artists are paired up by their coaches for head-to-head battles, with each contestant choosing their own song. The coaches then select one artist from each pair to move on, with no Steals or Saves available. By the end of the Knockouts, each coach will have only 4 artists remaining for the Playoffs.
The Voice's finale is rumored to take place on Tuesday, December 16, with the traditional two-part format - finalists performing on Monday and the results revealed on Tuesday.
