Royal Baby's birth has taken over the spotlight in all media, and TV networks are no exception. On Monday, several major U.S. networks have decided to pre-empt their regular programmings in favor of coverage of the birth of Prince William and Kate Middleton's son.

NBC confirmed via Twitter that it bumped a new episode of "Siberia" titled "Fire in the Sky" to July 29. In place of it, the Peacock airs a one-hour "Dateline" special, hosted by Natalie Morales, which provides "viewers with an intimate look inside the lives of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge."
