nomadcowatbk 156 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 It will be the first network in history to air a two-hour block on Sundays from 8:00-10:00 p.m. AND start at 8:00, not 7:00 p.m. I wonder if the FOX network will follow suit on this. where else would Fox bury Bob's Burgers?
nomadcowatbk 156 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 It wasn't a failure. They dumped it because Dawn Ostroff didn't like wrestling. just like Jamie Kellner (WB founder) did with TNT and WCW?
WestleyWolf 123 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 where else would Fox bury Bob's Burgers? Either rotation like fox sports normally does or FXX.
NEOMatrix 1308 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I wonder if the concession is that The CW finally takes that Tribune-owned hour to the back of the barn.
T.L. Hughes 907 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 That's interesting. I wonder if The CW will try to fill the Sunday schedule for at least part of the season with sitcoms. Other than a couple of short-lived summer efforts, the network basically abandoned scripted comedy when it canned The Game and Everybody Hates Chris in 2009. Unless their decision has partly to do with the fact that its dealing with the same issue as CBS, with so many shows doing reasonably well that space to make room for all of them is cramped with the current Monday-through-Friday-only schedule.

Um...Fox already airs 7pm-10pm (ET/PT). It's their animation night.
mre29 1588 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I wonder if the concession is that The CW finally takes that Tribune-owned hour to the back of the barn. What Tribune-owned hour?
ColtFromGulfcoast 739 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 What Tribune-owned hour? The Robert Irvine Show.
mre29 1588 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 The Robert Irvine Show. Oh. Is that one of those daytime "trash TV" shows? No wonder I haven't heard of it.
NEOMatrix 1308 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Um...Fox already airs 7pm-10pm (ET/PT). It's their animation night. He means that the 7pm hour given back to affiliates and Fox only goes 8-10pm on Sundays.
mre29 1588 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 He means that the 7pm hour given back to affiliates and Fox only goes 8-10pm on Sundays. Ah, okay. But why would they do that?
ColtFromGulfcoast 739 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Oh. Is that one of those daytime "trash TV" shows? No wonder I haven't heard of it. Yes, but it's different in that there's a chef cooking up the drama.
TheRolyPoly 2655 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Um...Fox already airs 7pm-10pm (ET/PT). It's their animation night. I said 8-10pm, not 7-10pm. And I said 8, not 7pm.
TVNewsLover 801 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I said 8-10pm, not 7-10pm. And I said 8, not 7pm. Glad you repeated that twice just in case we didn’t understand the first sentence. But I will repeat, WHY would they cut an hour off primetime?
TheRolyPoly 2655 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Glad you repeated that twice just in case we didn’t understand the first sentence. But I will repeat, WHY would they cut an hour off primetime? Idk but I’m glad they’re doing it. Maybe it will convince FOX to cut an hour as well.
Jase 1090 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 I had a premonition that they would eventually head back into Sunday nights. All we need is for them to add three hours back to the Sunday slot and it'll be good. Actually, with 'EasyView,' they had five hours on Sundays at one point. It's probably best to start with two and see how it goes. I wouldn't be against bringing back 'EasyView' at some point however. Idk but I’m glad they’re doing it. Maybe it will convince FOX to cut an hour as well. Not going to happen. If anything, FOX would give back the late night Saturday hour before they would an hour on Sundays.
ColumbusNewsFan 218 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Not going to happen. If anything, FOX would give back the late night Saturday hour before they would an hour on Sundays. Also FOX want at Sunday at 7/6c for NFL run-over during the season.
TVNewsLover 801 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Idk but I’m glad they’re doing it. Maybe it will convince FOX to cut an hour as well. I was referring to FOX. You suggested they drop the 7PM hour. And I was asking why would they do that.
TheRolyPoly 2655 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 I was referring to FOX. You suggested they drop the 7PM hour. And I was asking why would they do that. The 7pm hour on Sundays is useless, unless if your CBS.
ColtFromGulfcoast 739 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 The 7pm hour on Sundays is useless, unless if your CBS. Or ABC.
ColtFromGulfcoast 739 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Actually, with 'EasyView,' they had five hours on Sundays at one point. It's probably best to start with two and see how it goes. I wouldn't be against bringing back 'EasyView' at some point however. That's what I was saying.
TheRolyPoly 2655 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Or ABC. Well... ehh. AFV is not the same anymore, which makes that 7pm Sunday hour on ABC useless. Only CBS has a useful program at that hour: 60 Minutes.
Megatron81 289 Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Yeah, that’s a pipedream if I’ve ever heard of it. The closest thing to that happening is affiliates airing games from teams in their markets. That is why The CW didn't go to WXSP to many sports in 2006 The CW was one of the few stations that didn't sign on with UPN or The WB station. Although The WB was on a 22 hour delay on WZPX when they were Pax/I Network Freedom Broadcasting that owned WWMT used the .2 for The CW in 06 now Sinclair owns WWMT.
Megatron81 289 Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 I was surprise that TV station groups would sign on and give The CW back Sunday Nights as it's hard to get those hours back once the networks gives it up. Glad that The CW is going to have a Sunday Night guessing a current shows will air at that time wouldn't mind if they did sitcoms Sundays or Fridays.
mre29 1588 Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 The really big surprise will be if the CW decides they'd like to have Saturday nights, too...
