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? 

Both zap2it and tvpassport are showing it back at 10am and repeating at 1:36am starting on Monday for me.

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. 

WSB-TV explains temporary Kelly Clarkson, Tamron Hall show time changes

Quote

Two months ago, WSB-TV added a special 3 p.m. newscast through midterm elections week, pushing “The Tamron Hall Show” to 1:35 a.m.

 

It was meant to be a short-term move to capitalize on election-related advertising. But with the Senate race in a runoff on Dec. 6, WSB-TV decided to keep the 3 p.m. newscast for another month.

 

According to general manager Ray Carter, Disney Media Distribution, which oversees “The Tamron Hall Show,” only agreed to the temporary move through the week of the election, not for a runoff.

 

So WSB-TV approached the distribution company for “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” which agreed to allow the TV station to move that show to 1:35 a.m. instead through Dec. 7, the day after the run-off.

According to Xfinity listings, it looks like Kelly and Ellen are simply swapping time slots on WNBC and WVIT starting June 8. Ellen is now listed at 2 PM, with many of the June episodes listed as new (probably guest hosts or the proposed "compliation" eps), and Kelly will move to 3 PM as we knew already.

 

According to IndieWire, they're also swapping early in Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia and San Diego.

Included in that was a bit about the rough showing Jennifer Hudson had at upfronts last week.

Clarkson isn’t the only competitor, of course; she won’t even be the only “American Idol” alumnus. Jennifer Hudson, who placed seventh on the same singing competition in 2004, is launching her own talk show — and we were treated to a live, on-stage preview of it last week during the Warner Bros. Discovery upfront at Madison Square Garden.

 

“Treated” may be the wrong word. J. Hud struggled, including a teleprompter tussle when introducing HGTV and Magnolia mega-stars Chip and Joanna Gaines. The nascent host did her best to cover up awkward moments by hitting impromptu high notes, but even Jennifer Hudson can only sing so much. She also had a few moments of charm, but beyond her rendition of “Respect,” we’re not so sure Hudson earned the r-e-s-p-e-c-t of the advertising community.

 

It probably didn’t help that Hudson opened her hosting foray by declaring “I am the future.” She did not take care, TCB.

I don't have real high expectations for her show, but I hope that was just a case of nerves in that format, otherwise that doesn't bode well.

WGAL pulled him.

Is Kelly Clarkson's show not popular? I see WPXI in Pittsburgh is moving her to 3AM. 

That's when they aired it the first season too then moved it to daytime last season. Weird. There's about 4 or 5 stations that are airing it overnight still among them is Des Moines that has had it at 12:35am since the debut.
