In Charlotte Wendy Williams is on WSOC at 10am and WAXN at 6am. Nick Cannon is on at 6pm on WCCB. That would definitely be an upgrade in Charlotte. If WCCB had to replace Nick Cannon I’d like to see them pick up Last Man Standing. No Charlotte station has cleared it and its one of the highest rated sitcoms in syndication. Nick could replace The Doctors on WAXN, the Doctors could move to WMYT to replace TMZ Live which is totally unnecessary because WJZY also airs it. (Except for when WJZY preempts it for BBT and now Young Sheldon when sports is going to air in the 7pm hour (pregame shows or MLB baseball)). But it could air in late night.

To clarify I meant Richmond for the awful clearance, not Charlotte.

WJZY is airing it at 7 before BBT, WMYT is airing it at 10, after their two runs of BBT, cutting out a run of Schitt’s Creek. What an AWFUL clearance for Richmond.

Dr. Oz is actually airing at 2 on WMYT, not 3, and a second run of TMZ Live is airing at 3. Makes no sense when it already airs on WJZY at 1.

Under a paywall but Steve Ohnesorge is retiring from WBTV. Steve Ohnesorge retiring

Young Sheldon weekend run will be on WMYT Sunday nights at 7 and 7:30 which bump the Two and a Half Men weekend run to 6 and 6:30. On WHNS it will be on Sunday nights at midnight and 12:30. Instead of continuing where the primary run left off during the week like The Goldbergs does, it starts over with the very first two episodes that just aired Monday and Tuesday at 10pm. That means the weekend run must be on its own. If that is the airing pattern then they definitely should’ve had the primary run air on WJZY weekdays at 7 and the secondary run (which starts with season 3) on WMYT weeknights at 10 but according to TV Passport it’s the other way around.

So was just thinking.., why couldn’t WCCB expand their 10pm news to an hour/move News Edge to 11 as a Fox station? Why are they just now doing this? Guess Bahakel was too cheap.

WCCB changes starting September 27 according to the website and it looks like we have another newscast expansion in the market, this time at night. Nick Cannon will air at 6pm, not at 4pm as his website indicated, replacing the primary runs of Mom and Mike and Molly. I knew it didn’t make sense to have Nick at 4 because that would’ve meant moving Ellen twice. So one run of Mom gets bumped to midnight, and the other to 2:30 in the morning. Mike and Molly and Two Broke Girls (which previously aired at midnight and 12:30am) are reduced to one run. Maybe they will get more runs on the weekend. But they are also losing their Saturday night runs because of CW primetime. It appears WCCB is expanding their actual 10pm news to a full hour (well its listed as WCCB news at 10 and 10:30) and bumping WCCB News Edge to 11pm as a result. This means all three stations (WJZY, WAXN and WCCB) will have actual news for a full hour at 10. Seems like they could put the extra runs of Mike and Molly and Two Broke Girls at 2 and 3am instead of the infomercial and that religious show.

Didn’t know Central Avenue was cancelled.

I wish Panthers Huddle would air earlier in the week. It doesn’t air until Saturday nights at 10:35 on WAXN and 11:35 on WSOC. It could air at 7:30 on WSOC on Tuesday and Entertainment Tonight could flip to WAXN at 8. That way it doesn’t go head to head with college football.

What are you doing WHNS??? Starting September 27 when Young Sheldon debuts, Tamron Hall gets booted to late night at 2am. She is currently airing at 1pm. Yet one of their runs of Modern Family gets put at 2:30 in the afternoon. I…can’t…even… Changes: 1:00 Divorce Court (replaces Tamron Hall) 1:30 Judge Jerry (replaces Tamron Hall) 2pm Mom (replaces Divorce Court) 2:30 Modern Family (replaces Judge Jerry) 3:30 Young Sheldon (replaces Mom) 7pm Young Sheldon (replaces Big Bang Theory) 12:30am Big Bang Theory (replaces Modern Family) 2am Tamron Hall (replaces Friends and Judge Hatchett) 3am Judge Hatchett (replaces Karen Mills) AgDay previously replaced Millionaire at 4am. Bet Tamron might be WYFF bound next fall, with Gray not big on syndication, and how is she not on there already? Isn’t she on most Hearst stations? They could use an upgrade from Dr. Oz, and Ellen is ending as well. Actually I just remembered that WYFF delays the fourth hour of Today to late night, they air Kelly and Ryan at 9, which makes their decision to carry Dr. Oz at 11am all the more baffling. They need to pick up Hoda and Jenna at 11am and then put Tamron at 2 (like sister WXII) and Kelly at 3 and they will be set.

TV Passport confirms YS at 7 on WJZY. The Young Sheldon website is incorrect for Charlotte. Young Sheldon will be airing at 7 on WJZY (that is correct) and 10 on WMYT and not noon and 7:30 on WJZY. I knew the noon WJZY listing was incorrect. WJZY does keep their run of BBT at 7:30. WMYT picks up a run of TMZ to replace the WJZY 7:00 airing at 1am. This pushes Dish Nation back to 1:30am. Most stations that air both runs will probably be airing the pilot episode first on Monday and then the Season 3 premiere. However in Charlotte it will be backwards…WJZY will be airing the Season 3 premiere at 7 and WMYT the pilot at 10. WMYT will be cutting out a run of Schitt’s Creek to make room for their run of YS. They ought to put YS at 9 and put BBT at 9:30 and 10 so it would be chronologically correct, like WJZY with YS at 7 and BBT at 7:30.

Here’s ALL of Pittsburgh’s changes https://triblive.com/aande/movies-tv/tv-talk-daytime-changes-for-fall-include-jay-leno-hosted-game-show-nick-cannon-talk-show/

There’s no way Charlotte was getting Balancing Act when it can’t even find room for Last Man Standing.

What they should do is move Y&R to 1 and either cancel The Talk and expand B&B to an hour at 2 or shorten The Talk to 30 minutes. But I know CBS likes to have that 30 minute jump on Days in the Eastern Time Zone.

No one will notice the affiliation switch. Not full-time. The only time they simulcasted last year was Week 2, the 50th anniversary game, and then Week 13 and 16. Starting this year their only Monday simulcast is tonight and then they will simulcast two Saturday games in the new Week 18 (the final week of the regular season). But granted horrible timing. They should’ve put off the season for both shows a week. And Jeopardy would’ve dodged the Richards week.

The new employee mentioned that about Lindsay on Discord and said she is likely to get it but I am not sure it is a done deal yet. That’s why I didn’t say anything. I hope she gets that though. I wish Alicia had been able to stay at WIS until Page left so Lindsay wouldn’t have been stuck reporting til then. I guess it didn’t work out that way though. I posted that about Page on Out and About.

So despite the promos indicating it was going to be on both WJZY and WMYT and the website showing three runs of Young Sheldon in Charlotte at noon, 7 and 7:30, zap2it shows only one run, at 10pm, on WMYT. It also doesn’t show any runs it has listed for WHNS at 3:30, 6:30 and 7. And I don’t see Nick Cannon listed at all on WCCB or for any Charlotte station despite the fact their Twitter follows them and they are listed as a station carrying it on their website. It is supposed to be airing at 4. I’m super confused. I guess they just haven’t updated the listings yet. This would presumably cut Schitt’s down to one run on WMYT at 10:30, as they don’t have but one run listed now.

He comes to WJZY from the ABC station in Salisbury, Maryland.

WCCB is picking up Chicago Fire for weekend late night…it starts Saturday night the 25th/Sunday the 26th at 1am and 2am, between double runs of MacGyver and Major Crimes. Also starting tomorrow night WMYA is starting something I’ve never seen a MyNet affiliate do…split their schedule. They are putting You Bet Your Life at 8 and 8:30, followed by the first hour of MyNet at 9. After WLOS’ 10pm news, a double run of DailyMail TV and Funny You Should Ask, The second hour of MyNet won’t be airing until midnight. Now the evening edition of The National Desk starts the 27th so they’ll be more changes to come if they clear it. They probably won’t clear it all because of WLOS’ 10:00 news bur I imagine WMYA is clearing part of it otherwise it would make more sense to put Feud as part of that primetime block and air MyNet after the news. It actually still make sense to do that. Why not put MyNet from midnight-2 after The National Desk?

An incoming employee said they wanted more diversity at 5, 6 and 10. Right now Lindsey is reporting. Wouldn’t surprise me if she is looking around though.

I agree.

I’ve never heard tell of a station to back out of a show at the last minute like that.

Yeah, even though WCNC hasn’t aired it in years so it’s irrelevant to Charlotte, this is a slap in the face to Alex. They should be airing Trebek episodes. I guess they are trying to distance themselves from Mike Richards.
