WCCB

Black-ish may be leaving syndication as “To Be Announced” is currently listed from 11:30pm-12:30am

WCCB finally updated its schedule….The Simpsons returns to its schedule for the first time in several years…but instead of simply putting it at 11:30 and midnight where Blackish was they put it at 6 and 6:30pm, and banish American Housewife to 12:30am, it will only get one airing Monday through Friday now, so five episodes a week won’t be seen. SMDH. It would be OK if they wouldn’t skip episodes.

Mom ends up taking over Black-ish’s time slot. It gets 2 airings again from 11:30pm until 12:30am.

A rerun of Karamo replaces the JHud rerun at 2am and a double run of (sure enough) Court Cam replaces the Kelly Clarkson rerun at 3am (not 11:30pm).  No changes before 6pm.

I don’t think Black-ish is getting cleared anywhere. It seems to be quietly leaving syndication. WCCB still has “To Be Announced” in its time slot (11:30pm-12:30am). They might mess around and put “Court Cam” there even though they don’t have any court shows. It has not showed up on the Charlotte schedules.

Over at WEAR, It looks like the last hour-long 10:00 p.m. newscast is done.  It will now be a standard 35 minute length followed by Jimmy Kimmel "Live".

They'll also replay the 10:00 p.m. at midnight following Nightline.

An end of an era here. They were one of the last ABC affiliates not to air JKL on time....

I didn’t know there were any ABC affiliates still delaying Kimmel. An odd time to suddenly start airing him in pattern with the writers strike.

Interesting. I haven't seen a station air B&B other than at 1:30 or 12:30

There’s a few exceptions. KIRO in Seattle has been doing the same thing for several years, air it at 2 for an hour news and a station in Oklahoma (I believe it’s Tulsa) delays it til late night).

I guess talks with Tegna fell apart. If I had to guess, it was because of the Atlanta situation. While Tegna did have KONG as leverage, Nexstar's relationship with Gray took precedence, hence WPCH being chosen over WATL, which probably led Tegna to take KONG off the market.

I think Tegna was hesitant to sign in both cities because of the San Diego situation.

. they had a chance to get ET, they chose….court cam.

They have Jeopardy and Wheel at 7 and 7:30, but they could have put ET as a leadin to the evening news at 3:30 and shunted Daytime Jeopardy off to WRDQ.

Charlotte Changes beginning September 11

WBTV

QC @ 3 cut to 30 minutes to make room for Investigate TV+ at 3:30

WSOC

ET rerun moves from WAXN to replace Law and Crime Daily at 2:06 am which may have been cancelled 

WCCB

Black-ish may be leaving syndication as “To Be Announced” is currently listed from 11:30pm-12:30am

WJZY

People Puzzler and Person, Place or Thing replace Rachael Ray at 10am. So a 2 hour game show block now because they are keeping 25WOL and Pictionary at 11 and 11:30am. A couple weeks ago they swapped back Extra/TMZ and People’s Court to 1 and 3.

WMYT

Equal Justice replaces Relative Justice at 11:30am and Divorce Court at 12:30pm (the latter remains at noon). I think Relative Justice was cancelled.

People Puzzler and Person, Place or Thing replace the cancelled You Bet Your Life at 2 and 2:30.

Justice for the People with Marilyn Milan replaces Judge Mathis at 4 and 4:30, with Judge Mathis sliding back to 5 where they were before they picked up Last Man Standing last year. So Judge Mathis reruns will be seen twice a day in Charlotte but People’s Court only once. 
 

Dish Nation moves up from 1:30 to 1am with Access Hollywood now at 1:30am. This eliminates a TMZ run (now there are just two on WJZY) but WJZY keeps its midnight AH run, kinda unnecessary to have two AH runs so close together between the stations.

WAXN

The most changes. They moved a lot of stuff around.

5am Tamron Hall previous day episode (replaces Pawn Stars and Storage Wars)

9am iCrme x2 (replaces Tamron)

10am 48 Hours (replaces Dr. Phil)

Noon Dr. Phil reruns (replaces Law and Order SVU)

1pm Cutlers Court (replaces Couples Court which stays at 1:30pm)

3pm Mathis Court x2 (but they couldn’t get the reruns from WMYT?)

4pm Hot Bench x2 (moves from 3pm), replaces iCrime

5pm-1:30am stay the same 

1:30am National News Tonight (replaces ET rerun)

2am Law and Order SVU (replaces NNT and Law and Crime Daily)

 3am Funny You Should Ask (making its return to WAXN and to Charlotte TV after a year off, was previously on WBTV at 1:37am)

Seems like Tamron and Dr. Phil should be switched on WAXN.

No one appeared to get Court Cam in Charlotte.

I don't see a change in Raleigh.  The stations that are dropping the CW are CBS o&os; WLFL is owned by Sinclair and WNCN by Nexstar (meaning I can't see the CW on 17.2 or whatever WNCN subchannel).  I am wondering, however, if the CW is going to still be on in Atlanta; I have yet to see any evidence that either WATL or WPCH is interested, and I don't think the others (WSB, WAGA, WXIA, or WANF) are. (WAGA is out anyway, being a Fox o&o, and I would be shocked if Fox allowed them to carry another network that isn't MNT.)

I posted that about WNCN only because I wasn’t sure if Sinclair was going to reup.

And no WAGA doesn’t have a place to put CW programming unless its in late night.  I could see WSB putting it on their .2.

Hearst will pre-empt ET on their stations for anything because that late night replay gives them a huge cushion to work with

Not just Hearst. WAXN started replaying it and Inside Edition at 1am and 1:30 every night so now it won’t have to preempt Feud reruns at 8 and 8:30 anymore whenever WSOC preempts  them to run various specials.
 

And Capitol demoted ET to 6pm in Raleigh on WRAZ when it added a 7pm news on WRAL and moved Inside Edition to 7:30. But Judge Judy gets 4 runs on WNCN.

Especially, when one considers that Nexstar and Sinclair overlap in several markets, resulting in them having to negotiate whether to let Nexstar pick off CW affiliations from Sinclair in markets where the former has a MyNetworkTV or independent station and let Sinclair keep the network in other markets (for example, my home market has Sinclair’s KOCB [an existing CW affiliate] and Nexstar’s KAUT [an indie], making KOCB vulnerable to losing The CW).

And in Raleigh-Durham it could move from WLFL to a subchannel of WNCN.

WESH: either ET (which has been on at 7pm for at least 15+ years now and has been on WESH in the 7pm hour since 1981) or access hollywood is going….somewhere may only be as far as wkcf. but they’re starting the 7pm news wars here. their own 7pm news will be going against WKMG’s decade old news starting 9/11. the rest of the schedule should be the same, we’ll find out when 9/11 gets here 

If it’s a half hour newscast I could see ET moving to 7:30 and AH moving to the sister station.

WOTV is going to air People Puzzler 10AM to 11AM on Sep 11, Sherri is moving to afternoons 4PM I'm guessing I can't see it replacing it with Rachel Ray on Wood TV at 2PM in my opinion. I think that The Goldbergs moves to the sister station WXSP in my opinion unless The Goldbergs is leaving syndication. 

The Goldbergs will be in syndication at least  through Labor Day week and I doubt it is leaving.

I was disappointed to see Cheryl depart, as it seemed rather abrupt. Perhaps because they are cutting back on the afternoon show which may have resulted in a salary cut. Not sure about such personnel matters, but just sorry to see her go. I wish they would have found her a spot on one of the news programs, as she is appealing talent and did a good job.

Also in Charlotte, former WBTV meteorologist Leigh Brock popped up again on WSOC as a Saturday fill in. Wish they would give her a permanent gig as she is appealing talent and a good weather presenter. Not sure why she was dropped by WBTV to begin with, as she was well liked and has been missed.

 

They did recently hire Eric Garlick at WBTV to replace the late Jason Myers. Good weatherman, strong presentation.

They also did not renew Bekah Birdsall’s contract. I wasn’t aware of that for a couple months. I figured it out though when they hired the girl from WRAL to do traffic and anchor at noon. Letting Bekah go didn’t sit well with me, I thought she was done dirty, a meteorologist being relegated to traffic duty and then just let go after doing a good job, but her personal life is going better, she has since gotten engaged.  https://x.com/weatherbbird/status/1658835880813928449?s=46&t=L_8SY8aG39Aa8y7vEhNEAw

In Charlotte, QC talk show hostess Cheryl Brayboy has left WBTV, where she was regular talent on the morning and afternoon talk shows. The afternoon show may be cut to half an hour as Gray is adding an investigative news show in September. I always wanted to see WBTV promote her to the anchor desk, as she is a good anchor/reporter and would be nice to add another African American anchor.

She was replaced by Jorge Andres this week. It hasn’t been announced by the station but yes QC @3 will likely be cut to a half hour because WBTV plans on airing on InvestigateTV+ at 3:30pm starting September 11.

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

Maybe when General Hospital gets kicked over to Hulu or Disney Plus

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.

Nice to see court judges come back without Byron Allen producing it. I only wished this new production company gave Mathis and Millian their new shows instead of Byron.

I wonder if Couples Court will continue to air in reruns now? I guess they still could, it wouldn’t be any different than Jerry Springer and Judge Jerry airing at the same time or Greg Mathis and Marilyn Milan’s new shows airing at the same time as the old reruns.

Their new afternoon schedule is: 

 

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

3pm - LMAD

4pm - News

So they will be the first station I know of to air LMAD at 3 outside the Eastern Time Zone.

WBBM is moving Drew Barrymore back to 2pm this fall. (h/t @24994J)

So LMAD back to 9 then? They’re getting rid of their 9am news? Or expanding their 9am news to an hour and putting LMAD at 3? The latter would be unprecedented for the Central Time Zone. I guess most likely LMAD back to 9 and starting a 3pm news.
