    Once and Again preemption controversy

    WSET replaced an episode of ABC's Once and Again with a prime-time infomercial. The episode included a kiss between two female characters and a student-teacher relationship storyline. GLAAD condemned the decision, while Jerry Falwell defended station management and argued that the concern involved the episode's broader content. The incident became a notable example of local affiliate discretion and cultural pressure affecting network programming.
