There are many live events that extend beyond the planned broadcast time slot - sports, movie/TV awards, news. The nature of the FIRST championships make it difficult to end at a prescribed time. Elimination matches that require a 3rd game, timeouts due to robot or field damage, restarts, speeches, awards, etc. all contribute to the unpredictability. Couldn't NASA TV just cut to their archive footage "already in progress" when the event is complete??
