There is going to be A LOT of duopolies from non-Nexstar stations (including CBS/CW O&Os that choose not to sell) that will be in the same position as WAXN. I can see WPCW being one of them( they mostly are a dumping ground for KDKA-TV programming that can'tfit on the main channel). You know Nexstar will want many of its own stations to be CW affiliates.
I can't see WPCW being dropped. KDKA-TV has always been one of CBS's strongest stations. Having a second station is beneficial for additional news and sports programming and to place pre-empted cbs shows when necessary.

WTAE-TV (4) announced Tuesday the appointment of Kristen Powers as co-anchor of the 11:00 p.m. weeknight newscast along side Mike Clark. Powers comes to Pittsburgh from Washington, D.C. where she has worked at Sinclair owned WJLA-TV (7).
In addition to Washington, Powers has also worked at stations in California. She has a master’s in Broadcast and Digital Journalism from Syracuse University. She earned her bachelor’s at Marquette University in her hometown – Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Powers says she’s admired Pittsburgh for years and is looking forward to calling the area home. She is also looking forward to getting involved with local charities. She will be on the air beginning in late June.

I know Judge Judy is in reruns but do you think the networks (especially CBS) would ask IDMBtv to air Judy Justice on their stations. Judge Judy is still pulling in great ratings in many cities even though the show has ended.
Probably not, IIRC Judy and CBS didn't part on good terms. That's why CBS decided to "screw it" and just cash in on decades of reruns, figuring the casual viewer wouldn't notice anyway.

that is probably what will happen.
WPXI either doesn't like KC or it performed poorly at 1pm. I could see Ch 11 picking up Sherri Shepherd as that will be spiritual successor to WW.

Shouldn't Wheel/Jeopardy have its own thread instead of taking over this one?

I liked Judge Lynn Toler when she was on Divorce Court, but 3 judges in 3 years doesn't seem like a good sign. Plus, I'm surprised it's still on. I liked the show during the late 2000's and early 2010's compared to the last few seasons.
Jenkins was very good but she probably was just filler until a "name" was available like Star Jones.
Look how many hosts Family Feud burned through between Richard Dawson and Steve Harvey. The show finally found stability again with Harvey and flourished, the same could happen to Divorce Court with Star Jones.

FOX has a news division that's been around since 1996, and they still don't have regular newscasts on its stations (besides Fox News Sunday). If Nexstar does buy The CW, I wouldn't expect them to have any regular news shows either, even with NewsNation as their sister division.
Maybe they'd want to be different.

He'll lose in the primary.
He should win the primary between name recognition and being a non-politician outsider. All key-points in a republican primary.

Zaslav gave his comments on his plans for running WB-D at Paley Center for Media's online International Council Summit. Among them, he says he'll be "very hands on" while based in L.A. and calls CNN rival Fox News an "advocacy network, not a news network".
Pot calling the kettle black much? CNN wasn't called The Clinton News Network for nothing? Of course Fox leans right but to say the others lean left is preposterous and that's all I'll say on the topic.

I still prefer the extra note in the jingle. Maybe they will bring back the yellow graphics from the late 90's and early 2000's at some point as well.
Last year CBS added a note to their 90s stinger, now ABC takes away a note from their late 90s stinger.

Is Kelly Clarkson's show not popular? I see WPXI in Pittsburgh is moving her to 3AM.
For awhile it seemed like Ch 11 wasn't going to air the Judge Judy repeats (they always won 4pm) but it seems like they chickened out and will carry the repeats at 3pm moving Days to 1, its been at 3pm here since the mid 90s.

During SmackDown, WPGH ran numerous spots for Dr. Oz moving Monday at longtime old 10am time-slot.

She was pretty good. At this point, Pat Sajak could probably do both shows without a hitch. Tell viewers "I'll see you on Jeopardy" at the end of Wheel...
And as for Funny You Should Ask, that awful show needed to be canned two years ago. Jon Lovitz always on there doing mediocre jokes and a $5,000 bonus round? What is this...1971? Brought to you by that guy who brought former TV judges back to do fake court cases.
KCYU/KFFX in central Washington adds Seinfeld reruns beginning Labor Day. Divorce Court gets dumped from the schedule. That gives KCYU a 4 hour sitcom block in the afternoon/evening. King of Queens double run, 2 Broke Girls double, Seinfeld double, and LMS double. I assume Young Sheldon will NOT air on KCYU with their sitcom-heavy schedule, and my assumptions about KIMA/KEPR getting reruns may be coming true.
Re-enactments of court dealings used to be the standard for court shows like the original Divorce Court, Superior Court and The Judge. Its cheaper to film court transcripts, which is what I gather these court shows do.
Also, Funny You Should Ask is awful but its basically Hollywood Squares. Also, Jon Lovitz was great back in the day.

- There's going to be a new Chief Meteorologist at the Rio Grande Valley's NBC 23 (KVEO). The RGV's NBC Station has hired WHNS (FOX 21) Meteorologist Issac Williams to be their new lead weathercaster for the Early Evening and Late newscasts. No word on what KVEO will do about Robert Bettes who is currently the stations Chief Meteorologist.
- And Pittsburgh's CBS 2 (KDKA) is adding more news to its lineup. KDKA will add a 7:30pm half-hour newscast to its current 7pm news that will now run from 7-8pm. The station will have Megan Schiller the 7pm half-hour newscast that will replace the nationally syndicated show EXTRA with Billy Bush. KDKA's expanded news is set to launch August 17th.
Correction: CBS Evening News airs at 7pm.

I seen that tonight. Don't know when that started, but I noticed it this evening.
The 12:27 break before Y&R is still there.
I figured. I always liked how kd would traditionally say 'stay tuned for (name of show here)' at the end of the newscast. Many other stations don't bother, its a nice touch.
I'm shocked they didnt have the 6:56 adbreak last night. That used to be a big ad revenue spot, especially during the PA lottery years and kenny ross. I guess with current world events the ad sales aren't optimal.

KDKA-TV seems to have eliminated the 6:57 intershow break between the news @ 6 and CBSEN @7.
I'll have to see if they still have the 12:27 break before young and the restless.

Last night was Chase Williams last night on sports at WPXI in Pittsburgh.
Nexstar buying The CW?

700 Club is no worse than that waste of space, The Talk on CBS. CBS should've let that show die ages ago. It'll never be The View no matter how hard they try.
