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.

It runs over into what would be the following shows time.
Cue a 10 year old me, pissed off that Simpsons/Family guy wouldn’t air because of boring-ass baseball.
So CBS, for example, typically goes over on Sunday afternoons with NFL football which then pushes back the start of 60 Minutes which then pushes back the Primetime shows and then pushes back the local news (usually just EST, CST, MST). There is a block between 10:30pm and 11:00pm after the evening news that the local news uses for an extra sports show or a local news show or a rerun and that is what gets cut
It depends… sometimes they push back the start of shows that follow, sometimes they just start mid-program. They can typically get back on schedule overnight by shortening what ever runs at like 4am.
So a football game scheduled to end at 7pm goes until 7:20. Then the news that runs from 7-8 runs 20 min late, prime time shows air with a 20 min delay, late news runs 20 min. late, etc. and then some infomercial or sit-com re-run gets cut in the middle of the night.
Or the show running from 7-8 just airs the last 40 minutes and everything else remains on schedule.
May depend on whether it’s network or local programming, whether its live or a re-run, etc.

They dont always do. I remember a final in Sweden that was extended and it just cut off to the next program. It was a startcraft 2 tournament so the tv company probably did not care.
