Mel Robbins wasn't renewed for a second season. As for America Says, the status of the syndicated show is uncertain, but originals will continue on GSN.

- and isn't Jimmy Kimmel taping a new Millionaire this week too?

Millionaire tapings were scheduled for this past weekend. I actually had tickets for Saturday but they cancelled audience invitations on Thursday afternoon. I wonder if they went audience-less, most likely?

Broadcasting & Cable has more on the end of Judge Judy and the upcoming Judy Justice. According to the article, the Judge Judy repeats are being sold in three-year cycles at about 60% of the show's current license fees. Due to the lower price, the repeats are apparently being bought my many stations that don't currently air the show (CW and MNT affiliates and indies).

 

Judy Justice has been pitched to station groups, but none has signed on yet. It's also being shopped to cable and streaming.

 

Near the end of the article, there's some info about the upcoming Drew Barrymore and Nick Cannon shows. Both are having trouble getting clearances across the country, and they're getting less-than-ideal time slots in small and mid-size markets.

I don’t know what WCNC would replace Judy with in 2021 if they do not pick up the repeats. They could probably pick up Rachael Ray or Dr. Oz from WJZY. WAXN or WMYT would be a good fit for the repeats. I imagine WJZY/WMYT still picked up Nick Cannon because that deal was made before the sale from FTS to Nexstar went through, much like they still got the new FTS graphics package. Drew Barrymore could replace Mel Robbins on WAXN. I bet she winds up there, there’s really nowhere else for her to go, most of the other stations’ syndicated inventory is coming back.

Most likely WCNC picks up Sister Circle and at least Rachael Ray

It would only be Sister Circle...didn’t realize that was a Tegna show...no room for anything else unless they dumped Charlotte Today. Or they could permanently shorten it to 30 minutes (they are temporarily shortening it to make room for an expanded midday newscast at 11:30 am due to COVID-19) and put it at 12:30 to make room for another show at 11am.

 

Of course WCNC likely isn’t even a Tegna station by then.

I'll message you what I think the WCNC schedule could look like as I don't want this thread to become a list thread.

Though the Kobe Bryant coverage boosted them somewhat last time, I can bet that ratings for the syndie magazine shows will take a huge hit these next few weeks, as Coronavirus has virtually shut down the entertainment industry with all events postponed or canceled and the hosts doing their shows either from tiny studios (with one camera) or from home and with skeletal staffs.

On March 30: Changes in Palm Springs afternoon

KESQ: The Kelly Clarkson Show replaces Tamron Hall at 3pm.

ET is already in repackage/re-edited weekend episodes mode and will be for quite awhile.

With only a tweet late last night as notice, Live with Kelly & Ryan returned today with both hosts working remotely from their homes

KDAF making a few changes starting Monday:

Last Man Standing running from 9-10pm, 2.5 Men and Mom now running from 10-11pm.

Just read on Radio Discussions that WKRN in Nashville has already dumped Mel Robbins, which had been airing at 12:07am local time, ahead of its cancellation. A second run of Dr. Phil returned to the time slot.

 

I wonder if WAXN will do the same, I doubt it but I could see them demoting the show to late night, they currently air it at 9am.

[TV Time 4]

The CW Plus changes starting Monday:

- A full hour of Cops at 6a & 6:30a.

- A full of hour of Maury at 10a & 11a.

- Judge Jerry moves to 2p.

- A full hour of Jerry Springer at 3p & 4p.

I looked at their schedule. I’m guessing Right This Minute and America Says get cut down to one airing each. I doubt they would cut an airing of Jeopardy.

I'm looking at the guides as well. Both airing of Jeopardy is listed. And I don't see any "41 Action News at 3pm" listed.

I didn’t either. Usually TV passport is pretty good at updating changes. That’s not a good syndicated lineup other than Jeopardy, but 3pm newscasts are rare. Though it would make sense to add one now.

This could also be wishful thinking on the part of Asomrjsurf.

The show tapes out of the CBS Television Center, so unless Sony can figure out some way to get her and her staff a telework setup (which with her cancelled would be a money furnace), the de facto finale has already aired.

Unless it goes to September, it will more like be temporary for coverage of Coronavirus, just like many other stations nationwide adding newscasts temporary because of COVID-19.

KSHB just posted this within the hour....... I wished they posted this last week.

 

Looks iike the 1pm airing of Right This Minute is getting axed.

Both airings getting axed but it will be on KMCI at 6 and 6:30 am and 4pm.

 

Can’t believe KHSB doesn’t have a 9pm newscast on KCMI. Right This Minute doesn’t move the needle, I get that and it’s no big loss. But they add a 3pm but not a 9pm? And it’s an indie so they could even do 7 or 8 pm.
