In my college football games, we remind ourselves of the media timeouts - when they happen, their duration, the location of the media coordinator, and who the officials will be managing this. It takes all of 90 seconds time.

Televised game afterthoughts
After 2 cancelled games (both teams folded), we finally had the televised game. As I was the scoreboard operator/timer for the game, I met with the TV Crew pregame to see about how timeouts would be handled, which was a red police strobe light flashing during media timeouts at about the 10:00 mark of each period. As soon as the clock got to that mark, I would buzz the horn to signal about the timeout. During the 1st period media timeout, the R & Linesmen tried jumping the gun by having a face-off before the expiration of the media timeout. As the face-off happened, I buzzed the horn as there was still about 10 seconds left in the timeout.
The intermissions happened without incident, as I explained to the on-ice officials that we'd have the full 18 minutes tick off the clock for the intermissions pre-game. The 2nd & 3rd period media timeouts happened without incident as the R waited to signal for face-off until the red light stopped flashing & I gave a thumbs up.

Teams have games scheduled for the TV, but the programs are so shaky that they fold?
