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

The CBS owned stations have picked up a new Jaleel White hosted game show, The Flip Side, for fall

Gray teaming with Warner Bros. Discovery, Lionsgate and Jonathan Katz on a pair of new streaming and OTA channels launching New Years Day

“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

According to FTVLive, Amy Robach is joining NewsNation with her own show

In a unique move, CBS LA is adding a second news director

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… WITI>WTMJ>WDJT>WISN>WTMJ>WITI>WISN

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?

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

Going back to old branding (Philly 57 and New York 55), I see

WITI’s running it too

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

There’ve been rumors of it becoming a classic TV channel in the fall, and that tagline certainly will feed the speculation

Much of Licht’s handpicked team also leaving CNN https://twitter.com/dylanbyers/status/1666457553583087618?s=46&t=8s2ut1VEnz5wTqdvS7kePg

In a very late greenlight for next season, Fox has picked up Person, Place or Thing to series after last summer’s test run

If tonight was a test of how she’d work at 9pm, she failed massively.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they inevitably cut their losses and give the hour to ABC News Live

NBC to keep the 10pm hour (at least for next season)

I assume it’s to keep its programming requirements with cable providers re: the amount of news on the channel. There have been rumors/outright indications (the West Wing marathon over Thanksgiving) about HLN becoming an entertainment channel; maybe this is the way to pivot to that without spending too much money or unnerving its providers.

First tidbits of the CNN layoffs are out and it’s a major destruction of the already destroyed HLN. Morning Express is being cancelled and replaced by a simulcast of CNN This Morning, and its remaining true crime original programming is being moved under the oversight of Investigation Discovery
