For many years, CNBC/USA had a lock on the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show (much to the chagrin of WWE fans who would see their precious wrestling programming pre-empted in February in favor of the dog show.) Normally, the show happens in mid-February, but this year, the event has moved to June due to the pandemic.
In 2015, Fox landed the broadcasting rights, and now, for the first time in 30 years, the Best in Show will be crowned on broadcast television — and in primetime. The two-day event starts Saturday, June 12, and continues on Sunday, June 13.
