How about this for Atlanta: With Katie Couric's show soon to be gone, WSB should steal Ellen away from WXIA and schedule her at 3:00 with WXIA running Dr. Phil back-to-back at 3:00 and 4:00. That way, they'll be back to doing news at 5:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaking News 802 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 That's from 2010 (since Oprah's departure, Ellen DeGeneres has occupied the 4:00 slot on WCVB).

That way, they'll be back to doing news at 5:00. I was told WXIA will not bring back it 5pm news broadcast and it seems to be a Gannett thing to have Ellen @4, Dr. Phil @ 5, and many of their stations doing 7pm news.. D.C, Columbia, SC, Cleveland, Atlanta so I guess they like to attract the 7pm crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenShine9 1509 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Re: WFMY, for how much longer though? Do either WXII or WGHP run a 7 pm newscast, so would it be beneficial for WFMY to run the news then instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to stop with the solo anchor setup and go back to having 2 permanent anchors on air and bring back their 5PM newscast. Also for the love of God, move the Andy Griffith Show to WATL where it belongs. It makes no sense for the NBC affiliate in 9th largest market in the nation to air that show at all.

JoseRM303 169 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 In Seattle, Gannett station KING 5 airs local news 4:30a - 7:00a, 7:00a - 9:00a (On sister station KONG), 12:00p - 1:00p, 5:00p - 6:00p, 6:30p - 7:30p, 9:00p - 11:00p (on sister station KONG) & 11:00p - 11:35p. Nigthly news airs at 6:00p Dr. Phil airs at 2:00p Katie airs at 3:00p Ellen airs at 4:00p. Not sure what the station will air at 3 once Katie goes off the air.

Do either WXII or WGHP run a 7 pm newscast, so would it be beneficial for WFMY to run the news then instead? No; WXII -- a Hearst station, nonetheless -- has Inside Edition and Entertainment Tonight at 7:00 while Local TV's WGHP runs Extra and TMZ (following Access Hollywood at 6:30). Also, I think Wheel and Jeopardy have been on WFMY since about the early '90s, though both shows also had scattered runs on WXII and WGHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not without a sister station to move it to like WXIA to WATL in Atlanta. Jeopardy has been on WCNC since 1992 I believe and Wheel of Fortune has been on there since 1996.
