A WISN update (and something very interesting): starting tonight, Suits reruns join the lineup at 1:07am (replacing the ET rerun and Daily Blast Live)

In Milwaukee...between WVTV and its My24 subchannel (which I still call WCGV out of habit), they seem to be carrying most of the new major syndicated offerings this fall: GMFB Overtime (weekdays at 10am starting Monday), Flip Side (weekdays at 2pm starting 9/9), True Crime Daily (weekdays at 1pm on DT2 and weeknights at 12:30am on WVTV proper starting 9/9), The Conners (weeknights at 6pm on DT2 starting 9/9) and Bob Hearts Abishola (weeknights at 9pm on DT2 starting 9/9). In addition, WVTV begins carrying KMSP's The Jason Show (which Fox is syndicating in select markets) at 12pm weekdays starting Monday,

A third hour of CBS Mornings premiering on select stations and CBS News 24/7 this fall

I can’t imagine CBS News will be needing any outside people to come in here. They have a lot of folks I can see fitting into a rotating cast well; Maurice DuBois is something they’re giving more a national spotlight to lately. I imagine a good deal of the 60 Minutes team will get their at bats too; with The Talk ending in December, I wouldn’t be surprised if Natalie Morales came into this as well.

Rotating anchors could be interesting, and CBS certainly has a deep bench of folks who’d fit in that role. I assume they’ll try and get Gayle King to start the rotation…

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

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.
