WUSA 9 Eyewitness News Weekend (November 14, 1993) WTTG Fox 5 Ten O'Clock News (April 16, 1993) WJLA News 7 at 6:00 (last segment only) and ABC World News Tonight (September 22, 1993) WCAU News 10 at 11:00 (October 4, 1997)

"Crime Expose" will be airing on KTXH in Houston at 4:30pm starting September 23. To compensate, "Battleground" will air at 9:00pm and one of the airings of "People Puzzler" will move to 9:30pm starting on said date.

Here's how Houston's syndicated offerings will look like starting September 9: KPRC (NBC): Other than the station recently picking up "The Drew Barrymore Show" at 10am in the daytime and 2am in the overnight, no further changes. KHOU (CBS): "Dateline" replaces "Daily Blast Live" at 3pm, with more paid programming replacing one of DBL's half-hour repeats following "After Midnight". KTRK (ABC): No changes KTXH (MNTV): This is where "GMFB: Overtime" will be airing on, at 11am in the midday hours. "48 Hours" moves up an hour later, at 12pm. "Mathis Court" is added to the station's court show block, at 3pm, followed by "True Crime News" at 3:30pm. Channel 20's game show block gets even larger with the station picking up "Person, Place or Thing" in between two airings of "People Puzzler", followed by "25 Words or Less" at 5:30pm, "Pictionary" at 6pm, and the new game show "Flip Side" at 6:30pm. As compensation, the airings of Steve Harvey's "Family Feud" are cut down to 2 hours, from 7-9pm. Strangely, "Dateline" remains on 20, even with Channel 11 picking it up as well, moving to 9pm. "Extra", "Dish Nation", "TMZ", and "Access Hollywood" will make up the station's night-time newsmagazine block from 10pm-12am. More runs of 25WOL and "Divorce Court" replace the Fox Soul show "Portia" at 2am and 2:30am respectively, while a repeat of "True Crime News" will air at 3am, replacing "People Puzzler". KRIV (Fox): A new local talk show entitled "Chattin' with Chelsea", hosted by Chelsea Edwards, has already debuted on Fox 26, replacing "Extra" in the 12:30pm timeslot. The Xploration E/I shows start airing at 1pm on September 9, although I'm not sure if this move is permanent or temporary. A political debate show called "Battleground" has been airing after the station's 6pm news as of this writing, I'll give you information on what will replace it once the election passes by. In the 12am timeslot is a "Chattin' with Chelsea" rerun and "Fox Soul Faceoff", while a rerun of "The Jennifer Hudson Show" has already moved up to 1am as of this writing, and "Family Feud" and "Person, Place or Thing" make up the 2am overnight timeslot. KIAH (The CW): Other than the station moving their daytime talk show block 2 hours earlier (which I already mentioned in this thread), there are many other changes. "The People's Court" reruns move to 1pm, followed by a double-run of "Hot Bench" at 2pm and a double-run of "Judy Justice" at 3pm. "Bob Hearts Abishola" will air at 5pm in the station's late-afternoon sitcom block, alongside "The Neighborhood", "Young Sheldon", and "The Big Bang Theory". "Modern Family", which had aired on both of the Fox-owned stations in the Space City ever since the show was first sold to local syndication in 2013, moves to 39, airing a double-run at 11:00pm. "The Connors" replaces one of "The Goldbergs" reruns at 2:30am, followed by another run of "Young Sheldon" at 3am and "Friends" at 3:30am.

KIAH in Houston is moving "Karamo", "Maury", and "Steve Wilkos" up 2 hours (10am, 11am, and 12 noon, respectively) starting September 9. Just saw a promo on that station confirming this.

Something else to note: It looks like Fox Weather has discontinued their pre-commercial break (previously after-commercial break) regional forecasts as of July 1 to buy in some more commercial time.
