President Trump’s primetime address at the Mexico-U.S. border is bumping a number of shows to next week. Which TV shows can’t you watch tonight on network TV and Amazon Channels?

President Trump has opted to run a primetime address at the Mexico-U.S. border about the wall. While networks don’t have to give him this airtime, they’re choosing to do it. What does this mean about the TV shows that were going to air on network TV and Amazon Channels?

Everything at 9 p.m. ET/PT on the main four networks won’t air now. If you were planning to use CBS All Access to watch the winter premiere of FBI then you’ll need to hold off until next week. Fortunately, all past 10 episodes of the freshman drama will be on.

More from TV on Amazon

Watch The Gifted on FOX or black-ish and Splitting Up Together on ABC? They’re not on either. Those who buy through Amazon the following day will need to wait until next week to catch the new episodes.

Ellen’s Game of Games premiere is also preempted a week. Instead, it will run next Tuesday in the 9 p.m. ET/PT timeslot.

The good news is everything at 8 p.m. is running as normal. You can watch your new episode of NCIS Season 16, whether through CBS or CBS All Access. Lethal Weapon is also going to be on, which you’ll be able to watch on Amazon tomorrow.

As for the 10 p.m. slot, there is one change. For the most part, new episodes are airing. That’s most definitely the case for The Rookie on ABC and New Amsterdam on NBC. Both return with their winter premieres and there are plenty of questions for both.

Who was shot at John Nolan’s house? Will Max Goodwin survive after collapsing at the lake? We do get the answers tonight (or tomorrow if you buy the episodes on Amazon).

The only show that isn’t running is CBS’ NCIS: New Orleans. The network has chosen to preempt the show for another week, meaning you won’t be able to watch it on CBS All Access. You can watch previous episodes through your Amazon Channels subscription.
