Cincinnati TV Stations to Air Maupin Funeral

Three local TV stations will broadcast Staff Sgt. Matt Maupin’s funeral Sunday, pre-empting the NBA playoffs, CBS’ PGA coverage and possibly part of the NHL playoffs.
Managers at WLWT-TV, WCPO-TV and WKRC-TV (Channels 5, 9 and 12) have been re-arranging their Sunday schedules to air Maupin’s 1 p.m. funeral from Great American Ball Park. However, Fox’s WXIX-TV (Channel 19) will not pre-empt the Aaron’s 499 at Talladega Superspeedway at 1:30 p.m.
