New from the Fox First Run Test Lab: Who The Bleep Is That?, from TMZ. Four-week run in twelve markets starting Monday.
Seems a little early for a test run. I thought they had test runs in the summer. Maybe they are considering this for this coming fall.

I see WXIA Atlanta just swapped Dr Phil and Jennifer Hudson's timeslots, making her the lead in to the 5:00 News.
WSOC needs to do the same for Tamron and Dr. Phil..unless they are actually planning a 4:00 news next year

The big kicker is whether CBS gives 1:07AM back to the affiliates or not. Or if @midnight will be given the full hour timeslot.
WBTV would just air another infomercial

WDAF in Kansas City has temporarily moved Wheel of Fortune to 1:00 AM due to the Chiefs being in the Super Bowl. It returns to the normal time on Saturday (one day before the big game, funny enough).

Doing this for an entire week seems pretty extreme. They also did this in 2020 and 21. Do any other stations ever move or pre-empt syndies for a week or more for planned stuff like this? I remember in 2019, WXIA shifted Wheel to WATL for the entire week leading up to that year's Bowl since Atlanta was hosting the game.
Starting to think Jeopardy and Wheel stuff needs its own thread.
Wow, due to them hosting the game is a bit extreme.

I know they do and have historically, but if memory serves me correct someone here mentioned that CBS started clamping down on that and are forcing affiliates to air it in the intended order now.
If they were, WCNC and WFTV would be airing Wheel first. I have heard no such thing.

On that same note I wonder if WXIA will add a 4 PM newscast; it's the only one of the Big Four affiliates in Atlanta that does not have one now.
Same for WSOC in Charlotte. Their 4pm Dr. Phil airing will no longer be needed with WAXN airing what is now the previous day’s episode at 10am. That can become the “main” episode.

Does this mean King of Queens will be leaving syndication and going streaming only? https://tvnewscheck.com/programming/article/sony-pictures-television-to-take-the-king-of-queens-back-to-market-for-availability-starting-in-2024/

Ha! They'll most definitely take the easy route and air reruns of Dr. Phil.
I think KDKA will do the same. IMO, if any Pittsburgh station starts a 3pm newscast, it will be WPXI.
WPXI, the station that airs Ring TV? I don’t know about that. They will probably find some more cheap filler.

Its not, but I think this is more of a slam on RingTv leading off an hour against kelly clarkson and dr phil. Hence Jeopardy Secondary is now leading into RingTv. Prob fogure 5th hour of today would do less harm as a lead-in than an hour led by a half-hour Amazon commercial.
What the heck is an NBC station doing airing Ring TV?

IF The CW bolts WUAB for WJW 8.2 (or even, heaven forbid, Nexstar buys WBNX to make them a CW O&O)....WUAB would probably morph into 19+, since it's basically been the overrun station for WOIO, and the patent disregard of WUAB itself goes all the way back to Raycom...
It's best hope now is to be a news-intensive station to compete against WJW.
Then again, if WUAB gets stripped of the CW for WJW, it would leave BOTH WUAB and WBNX without affiliations.
The upfronts are going to be REAL interesting this spring....what will Nexstar have up it's sleeve?
Could also see CW move to WGHP 8.2 and WNCN 11.2. WCWG would become an Indy and could change calls. MyNet could move to WLFL and WRDC could be sold off or maybe Charge could take over 28.1.

So back in the summer The Charlotte Observer mentioned that “Your Day With Anna Kooiman” was going to premiere January 9 on WCCB from 8-9am. That didn’t happen. Instead it is only going to be on YouTube on Bahakel Entertainment and it’s supposed to premiere today.

According to zap2it and TV Passport WHNS’ 11am news would debut Monday and they also would add another Access Carolina at 3pm. The 11am Big Bang Theory and 11:30am Young Sheldon would go away (the latter was just a repeat of the previous week’s 7pm episode anyway) so now there would be two runs of each and iCrime and Pictionary get cut to one run each. Also Tamron would move from 3pm to 1pm. Access Carolina Facebook page doesn’t say anything about this and there are no changes on the listings on the station’s website so I’m not sure if this is happening Monday.
Now confirmed that the 11am news debuts Monday

This is going on across the whole country because of New Year’s Eve specials. NBC did it last year and CBS and ABC are following suit this year. They still are branded as 11pm news even though they are airing at 10pm, much like NBC still brands the Opening Night NFL game on Thursday Night as Sunday Night Football because it is part of the SNF package. By the end of the decade all three Big 3 networks could cut 10-11pm primetime although some in the forum believe that not all affiliates would air news at 10.

I’m not sure why everyone thinks that if NBC gives back the 10pm hour to affiliates that the affiliates will continue to carry an 11pm news. Heck, I’m not even convinced they’ll carry a full hour of news at 10pm. I could see them doing news at 10pm and giving affiliates an option of running an abridged version of Top Story with Tom Llamas at 10:30pm, followed by The Tonight Show at 11pm.
That and why everyone assumes they will carry syndicated programming at 10pm.

But you're not going to be able to finance news operations on irrelevant stations much longer. WCCB's op is pretty much on death watch now because the moment that CW contract ends, WMYT is getting it.
WBTV News at 10 on WCCB is sounding better and better

Good. It doesn’t help the affiliates to be forced to program an extra hour of primetime in an environment where syndication is an endangered species.
Most would be airing 10pm news

Unfortunately, it looks like Kelly Clarkson isn’t leaving 1:36AM anytime soon. Just looked on Zap2it, and the 3pm news on WSB appears to be permanent. Since that’s the case, I’d like to see WXIA and/or WAGA make some effort to rescue Kelly Clarkson from having to work the graveyard shift on Christmas. I mean, seriously, does her show Really have to be on at 1:36 in the morning?

Honestly think after the runoff they should put Kelly at 3pm instead of back at 10am. Kelly has higher ratings and is a better lead off into the 4pm.
Not a bad idea. Kelly would air in pattern (didn’t realize she was running a day behind in Atlanta, what is the cutoff time?) and they wouldn’t have to move Tamron yet again.
That also means WJZY was airing her a day behind at 10am. WMYT was airing her at 3pm but it wouldn’t have been hard to move her to 3pm on WJZY if it meant she would have been aired in pattern on that station. Instead they let her get away to WCCB.

A part of me wonders if the fact that Kelly was airing episodes a day behind hurt the numbers
You mean in Atlanta or everywhere?

Just now, hmaxhanson said:
My hunch is that rating are well enough that it becomes permanent even after December.
I’m thinking that’s why they switched Tamron and Kelly, because there’s no reason to switch them if Tamron was going to move right back to 3pm, and I’m wondering if Kelly ends up on a different station next fall.
Syndicated News for the 2022-23 TV Season
in General TV
Posted · Edited by Nelson R.
Didn’t they have an 11:30am newscast?
And they could do a whole lot worse than sitcom reruns. Especially since not all have made it to syndication (Superstore comes to mind).
