I was curious how TV channels adjust for live events such as sporting events that go over the time slot that was originally allowed, and how that works with the next programmed show in the slot.

Generally you schedule something afterwards that you can either push back or cancel, like the News, or an old repeat.
One episode of Mock the Week once got postponed due to Wimbledon overrunning, something they enjoyed making fun of the following week. Eurovision usually goes over its alloted time, which is fine because the News can just wait.
I know the BBC will sometimes shuffled things around channels. They’ll say like “If you’re looking for Pointless, it’s on BBC Two today”.
