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.

There are two ways of handling it:
1. Delay the start of the next scheduled thing (usually requires eliminating something later in the night to put things back in sync)
2. Just “overwrite” what was supposed to be scheduled. For example, if a sports game runs 15 minutes over, then you start 15 minutes into the next program, meaning people will miss the first 15 minutes of it.
