Some networks will air repeat programming in primetime on Monday as many affiliates in markets affected by Hurricane Sandy opt to stay with local news coverage.

CBS will air comedy repeats from 8-10 p.m. with a CBS News special on the storm running from 10-11 p.m., anchored by Scott Pelley. Sister network CW will also air re-runs of both Gossip Girl and 90210.

Fox, which was scheduled to air Game 5 of the World Series, will instead air a repeat episode of The X Factor.

ABC has made no changes in prime to its lineup of Dancing With the Stars and Castle, though a spokeswoman said there would be schedule changes in local markets at the discretion of affiliates.

An NBC spokesperson had not responded to a request for comment at presstime.
