There's an article that says NBC would air 2 primetime games a week during the season.  Would that mean a Sunday Night double header or 2 games spread out during the week on NBC?

What I’ve seen speculated are games on Saturday and Sunday nights 

WVBT?  Will it be a subchannel or are they dropping Fox?

NFLN’s Good Morning Football is getting a separate 2-hour syndicated series, with Sony handling distribution.

I’m really trying to figure out which stations would end up going for this; the Fox-owned MNTs?  Sinclair?  I can’t see Nexstar cutting back those successful local morning shows to air this.

WCVB was really one of the first local stations to have a national presence and reputation 

I wonder if this is in advance of the rumors of some affiliates carrying an extra hour of Daily 

There was a tidbit in one of the articles when this was going into the market that CMV was telling stations with the current Judge Judy package NOT to pick up Judy Justice; kinda wonder if that’s the reason why a lot of the current Judge Judy station groups passed on this 

Judy Justice officially a go for this fall, with Nexstar and Cox among groups signing on

Did some digging, their website Whois info points to Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) and their press release and trademark applications also mentions "Ft. Worth, TX" as building a new "state of the art" facility there, well guess what TBN has been doing since 2021, building a state of the art facility in Ft. Worth that's scheduled for completion by Jan 2024, exactly one month before the new Dr. Phil Primetime show is announced to premiere.

It's 100% replacing TBN.

“I absolutely love talking to real people about real problems. People who aren’t just complaining but are actively looking for real solutions to better their lives,” McGraw said. “American families and our core values are under attack. I love this country, and I believe family is the backbone of our society. Together we are going to stand strong and fight for the very soul and sanity of America and get things that matter back on track.”

This Dr. Phil quote from the announcement feels kinda TBN-ish in tone, now that I think about it 

It basically sounds like Adell had cold feet about selling and is using this as an excuse to back out of the deal 

Barbara Ciara retiring from WTKR on December 1st after 43 years in Norfolk television

A little surprised it was announced this far off, but if anyone’s earned a long victory lap it’s Tom.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, ABC sticking with MNF simulcasts for the remainder of the NFL season

Byron Allen's Comics Unleashed is

expanding from CBS local (and the rest of first-run syndication) to CBS proper for a limited time only, starting September 18.

Oh my god they’re more desperate than I thought…

Access Hollywood is moving back to WISN, joining fellow newcomer Daily Blast Live in the 12:05am hour replacing Rachael Ray starting 9/12.  Kinda surprising, since I just assumed they’d bump the ET encore up an hour.  This means that in Milwaukee, Access Hollywood has been on…

One of the WDJT mets just dropped that their noon show is expanding to an hour; The Bold and the Beautiful goes to 2pm, Inside Edition and Daytime Jeopardy fill the former Phil slot, and the second half hour of Drew likely goes to 12:37am.

Will be nice to have Inside Edition not stuck in overnights, but wouldn’t it make more sense to have both Drew episodes on in the daytime instead of Daytime Jeopardy?

48 Hours launching in syndication this fall

 

Either they forgot to post these articles or there are some really late clearances this year.

 

Could go to WJZY/WMYT or  WAXN in Charlotte.

I wonder when Disney/ABC will break out the 20/20 syndication run…

KDFW ran Fox’s Name That Tune today at 12:30. The rerun was half of an episode that aired in primetime. I wonder if Fox is testing NTT for a possible half-hour strip.

WITI’s running it too

Their new afternoon schedule is: 

 

2pm - Drew Barrymore (both halves, since that show is keeping the half-hour format)

3pm - LMAD

4pm - News

I get the logic of LMAD at 3 (counterprogram Jeopardy! on 7), but Drew seems more a 3pm show

In another major sports coup, The CW has acquired rights to NASCAR’s Xfinity Series. Deal starts in 2025.

Will there even be a CW in 2025?  If Sinclair pulls their stations, it might be bad for them…

10am is a weird spot for a newscast…
