NBC Preempts REVOLUTION For Boston Marathon Tragedy News Special; Fox and CBS to Keep Regular Lineup

Following the explosions at the Boston Marathon earlier today, NBC has opted to pull tonight’s new episode of REVOLUTION in favor of a news special.

Meanwhile, reps have confirmed that Fox is planning to air new episodes of BONES and THE FOLLOWING as previously scheduled. And with CBS airing a special edition of CBS NIGHTLY NEWS before primetime, they’re expected to air their lineup intact, too. (I’ve reached out to ABC, and will update when their lineup is confirmed.)

Update, 4:39 PM PT: An ABC rep says as of now the normal lineup is expected tonight.
