I'd have thought the programme being pre-empted would just finish as planned if the interruption happened mid-programme. Annoying for Americans who'd be spoiled online, but that's how it is. You'd think though, that it wouldn't be an unplanned mid-programme interruption, unless the speech was to say something like "Russia just nuked Washington, so it's World War III". An extreme emergency situation, which would justify a break into the schedule for rolling news anyway.
