Let's visit a world where Trump doesn't win the presidency or even the primaries. If he doesn't make it to October, the AH video never surfaces and Billy likely remains employed. If he loses in November, Kelly is vindicated and remains a star at Fox. Same scenario if her debate questioning destroys his campaign. So really, this wasn't the plan at all. Today was going to remain status quo, until the sun came up on November 9th. The President of the United States inadvertently changed the (short-term trajectory) of America's first morning show. Think about that.

Taking a page from their Denver cohorts, WCSH/WLBZ are about to launch "NewsCenter Now" in a reformatting of their 5PM newscast. Apparently a lot of selfie sticks are involved...are they experiencing some ratings softness with that wonderful T.D. Jakes lead-in?

Laredo was exceptional. They probably didn't even need to shut off the transmitter while doing what they did.

Can't believe they're switching in the middle of the sweep period (the books is halfway done). Maybe 9 is worried about the shift in ratings because of 6's LMAD move, so there doing this out of desperation? And why they didn't put Harvey on at 3pm in the first place? I'm not a fan of moving LMAD to 3pm, because that breaks the Game Show block with Price at 11am. But in the areas west of the eastern time zone (unless that station airs it after CTM at 9am), you don't really have a choice. You're stuck airing it after The Talk at 2pm. _______________ Unrelated to this, there a big shift coming for one San Antonio station. On Monday, March 27, KSAT 12 will be adding a new (Ugh!) 9am newscast. They're shifting Live with Kelly & The View to 10 & 11am, respectively. The Chew (which aired at 11am, on a 23-hour delay, like WFAA currently does) moves to 2pm (airing same-day shows; albeit on a two-hour delay). General Hospital (which was already airing on an hour delay at 2pm) moves to 3pm. The station says this was the "original" timeslot for GH on Channel 12 (I wonder how long they'd aired it on that timeslot). T.D. Jakes (which currently airs at 3pm) will be off the daytime schedule. No word if will be placed in the overnight periods or if it would be completely off the schedule. I thought this was a Tegna show. KENS 5 couldn't clear it on their air? 9am - KSAT 12 News Good Morning San Antonio @ 9am 10am - Live With Kelly (might as well say 1 hour delay, even though its not a network show) 11am - The View (1 hour delay) 12pm - KSAT 12 News @ Noon 1pm - SA Live 2pm - The Chew (2 hour delay) 3pm - General Hospital (2 hour delay) 4pm - Inside Edition 4:30pm - Entertainment Tonight 5pm - KSAT 12 News @ 5pm 5:30pm - ABC's World News Tonight 6pm - KSAT 12 6 O'Clock News (Full Hour) Also to point out is that they air Jimmy Kimmel at 11:05pm (instead of 10:35pm) because its 10pm broadcast is 65 minutes at length each weeknight. I'm sure ABC is loving KSAT 12 airing its entire daytime lineup completely out-of-pattern. But I guess since they're the top station in the market, I guess the network has no problem with this new lineup.
