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?

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.

And it is a runoff indeed.

 

Titan TV is showing that the WSB 3pm newscast is sticking around for now.

Interesting that they suddenly switch Kelly and Tamron….

Well, maybe not. Looking like a runoff. 

3pm news might stay through December 6 

WSB moves Tamron back to 3pm today with the midterms being over. No more 3pm news. WSB Tonight and ET repeats take over at 1:36am.

No answer on that one, but I Hope they’re doing better than ever. If they are, maybe there’s potential for WOIO in Cleveland to rename itself as WONF, Ohio News First, and potential for WXIX in Cincinnati to rename Themselves as WCNF, Cincinnati News First.

Don't get carried too away. They'll only do this on their flagship market so that this sucker can succeed. Also, WXIX is #1 in Cincinnati. Why change that?

And why would two different stations in the same state do this? Kinda pointless for one station to be Ohio News First if another station in the same state adopted the same brand.

KCBS has flipped Drew Barrymore and Let’s Make a Deal as of today…both half hours of Drew move to 2pm and LMAD moves back to 9am.

  The only problem I could see would be on Saturdays if SNL were to move to 11/10 and, in the fall,  a football game was still in progress. What time would SNL start?

It would just air in it’s entirety after the game and the local news. Just like now.

And that will be down to only CBS as they are Launching "Big Ten Saturday Night" Football in the fall next season.

I thought NBC was getting the night Big Ten game. CBS is getting the 3:30 game beginning in 2024 when their deal with the SEC expires. Maybe CBS does have it in 2023.

Article was later updated. CBS is keeping the hour for now.

WJZY restructuring their anchor teams…Robin Kanady is taking over for Morgan Frances on weekends 

Morgan replaces Brien Blakely at 5 who will still be on at 6 and 10

whether the stations in the Central and Mountain time zones would be able to shift primetime to 8-10 and basically expand prime access to the 7pm hour and also still have a decent lead-in to the 10pm newscasts.

KWGN and KPLR (both CW affiliates) already do this. KPLR airs a newscast at 7pm.

Okay it’s gonna good or bad for NBC. Ed Ansin WHDH owner is laughing from Heaven.

Yeah I’ve been wondering WRAL here in does WRAZ newscast I don’t think FOX will mind since in some way affiliates push back at FOX a lot. FOX remember is only a network during prime time and sports. Outside of that affiliates do syndicates or news.

Capitol will just simulcast on WRAZ…they already simulcast the 4:30-7am, noon and the 4pm anyway. WRAZ could have WRAL’s news at 11 if the Tonight Show moves to 10:35 or 11 but if the Tonight Show doesn’t move up there’s no need to do that. I just can’t see that happening.

How about minor league baseball?

 

That might work, right now teams have individual deals with local stations. Like the Charlotte Knights have their home Saturday games on WMYT. Sometimes they have Sunday games on there too. Not sure how long that deal lasts.

But Capitol Broadcasting owns the Durham Bulls, not sure how they would feel about some of their games airing on WLFL

WGCL/WANF switches from CBS to NBC if that happens? 

 

Yes, I know that is pure speculation, but it's what WRAL did, and Gray doesn't have too much to lose now they ditched the CBS branding.

That makes sense. Gray has a lot more NBC than ABC stations. And WXIA has been with ABC before.

’m not familiar with CBS’ mindset here, but would they be that desperate for an O&O in Atlanta?

They already have one…WUPA…they just don’t have the affiliation on there. They have CW on there. Same in Seattle and Tampa. But I guess the CW would move to WPCH…because there’s no need for Gray to have two independents in that scenario. The other scenario would be for CBS to sell WUPA to Nexstar and keep CW on WUPA but the writing seems to be on the wall for WGCL, soon to be WANF,  to drop CBS with the branding changes. That and Nexstar might have to sell a station in another market for cap reasons if they bought WUPA.

Does MyNetwork provide any value to any station group outside of Fox Owned?  It's pretty useless with repeats you can find elsewhere. Have to admit, I never watch Ch 9 WWOR here. No one I know does.  

It doesn’t provide any value to anyone. Even if they are an O&O. WMYT has delayed their programming three hours since 2018, when they were still an O&O.

looks pretty good. also if this holds true, the revamp saved drew barrymore and all the talk shows will be back next season 

 

only shows that look like they’re getting off the air after this season are ring nation (almost certain at this rate) and iCrime (the fact it’s a mainstream show on WFTV is crazy), in addition to whatever sitcoms are leaving next year 

I’m not so sure about Pictionary either. Of course it wasn’t promoted very well but I could see WJZY demoting both runs to 12:30 and 1am and putting both runs of 25 Words or Less in the 11am hour.

I just wanted to point out WGCL (WANF) has thrown some MORE shade at WSB in a new ad, this time for them starting a 3pm newscast only for election season

We need the details

Seinfeld is still on OTA syndication! I'm sure it will be renewed well into this decade and then some. Two and a Half Men surprises me, too. It still gets decent rerun ratings in syndication. KTLA Los Angeles still runs it at 7:30 weeknights, even though Charlie Sheen's last episode was aired in early 2011.

WMYT has aired Two and a Half Men at 7 and 7:30pm for the past two years, but it moves back to 10 and 10:30pm Monday with Schitts going out of syndication and Young Sheldon will be at 7 and 7:30pm, with Extra taking over for Young Sheldon at 7pm on WJZY (it was airing at 11:30pm). TMZ and Access Hollywood move up a half hour to 11:30pm and midnight and WJZY will carry the second run of Pictionary at 12:30am.

9-1-1 and The Good Doctor are also picked up by WMYT, 9-1-1 is at 8 and 9pm on Saturdays and The Good Doctor follows at 10 and 11pm. It may vary because of sports telecasts.

Impractical Jokers moves to Sundays at 1 and 1:30pm on WAXN. The Carbarno Effect moves over from WCCB and will air at 2 and 2:30pm on Sundays followed by Ring Nation at 3 and 3pm (starting October 2), The Listener at 4pm, Murdoch Mysteries at 5pm, Magnum PI at 6pm, SEAL Team at 7pm, and some show about the North Carolina STEM Explorers at 8pm replaces a run of Family Feud.

What does this mean? Is Conners in syndication already?

No, WFTV must have preempted it and the ABC fall preview on 9/14.
