Update: these are syndicated half-hour reruns they’re testing. There’s a play-at-home game:

 

 

 

The set they are using is from another Fox First Run show Person, Place or Thing starring Melissa Peterman from that is premiering this fall.

Wasn't that just the You Bet Your Life set?

Until the WGA and SAG strikes are over, Jay Leno is pausing production on YBYL in solidarity with the workers. Some will argue that the writers and actors did it to themselves and could care less if Hollywood sinks into the ocean, while ignoring the FACT that Americans of all political stripes would identify more with the everyday writers and others than with the execs who are more hated whether from a left ("Hollywood executives are too greedy!") or right ("Hollywood executives are too woke!") perspective. At one point, they will have to break bread because it's hard to imagine a situation where we're perpetually watching unscripted programming (some deliberately made to fill voids in the fall schedule) or repeats of Hallmark movies well into the Christmas season.

 

And for the record, as cliche as it sounds, Fox affiliates (especially O&Os) are on a better footing from a syndication perspective than the others. The others have to literally replace Dr. Phil, some of the non-Byron Allen courtroom shows and maybe at least one or two of the off-net shows that are no longer in production (Magnum P.I.?) for which The Conners is apparently the only newcomer.

Update from Omaha:

KMTV, channel 3: Dateline has been expanded to 2 hours, playing back-to-back episodes.

WOWT, channel 6: Starting September 11th, the afternoon syndication schedule will start with People Puzzler at 1:00pm, and end with InvestigateTV+ at 2:30pm, right before 6 News First at 3, which has seemed to move its way to weekdays, instead of every other weekday, and it leaves me wondering what will go in between. Maybe the daytime reruns of Jeopardy! at 1:30pm, and Inside Edition at 2:00pm, just to have a themed hour.

KETV, channel 7: Pretty much the same, with all syndicated shows on the station sticking around, except for Rachael Ray at 9:00am, and it leaves me wondering what will take over in the time slot. I figure it might be a 9:00am newscast, like they did with launching a 4:00pm newscast when the Ellen show was cancelled last year.

WOTV is going to air People Puzzler 10AM to 11AM on Sep 11, Sherri is moving to afternoons 4PM I'm guessing I can't see it replacing it with Rachel Ray on Wood TV at 2PM in my opinion. I think that The Goldbergs moves to the sister station WXSP in my opinion unless The Goldbergs is leaving syndication.

KCRG replacing Kelly Clarkson at 9am with local lifestyle show Everyday Iowa.

The Goldbergs will be in syndication at least  through Labor Day week and I doubt it is leaving.

Assuming Clarkson gets moved to 3p to replace Rachael?

[Oliverolang 41]

The thing is Tamron Hall currently airs at 3.

[KS-IL-IA 46]

KSNW in Wichita is moving and expanding its "Good Day Kansas" from its current 12:30-1 p.m. to 11 a.m. to noon, effective Sept. 4. KSN already bumps the third hour of today and Hoda & Jenna an hour to run Kelly & Mark at 9, so I wonder what's going to be missing. Competition KAKE and KWCH already have news/local talk at 9.

I think he meant 2.

[CoopInTheHouse 68]

Update from Omaha:

KETV will replace Rachael Ray with.. surprise surprise, Tamron Hall at 9:00am, right after GMA, starting September 11th.

 

And it hits even harder when you realize that some ABC O&Os decided to move Tamron Hall from 10:00am EST to 2:00pm EST, right after GMA3.

 

Hall says practically the same thing for the WABC promo and the KETV promo, with the exception of timeslots and station branding.

 

Bonus: Tamron Hall already aired its first couple seasons on WOWT, channel 6, but they stopped airing it in 2020, I’m guessing?

 

I can’t share the video this comes from at this time.

KDAF is picking up the People’s Court rerun package from KTXA and The Big Bang Theory from KDFI September 4th. KTXA has also rejected the Judge Mathis reruns, so no word on where that is going yet (if it even gets rerun at all here).

Live's going away, according to TitanTV on KSNW's website. KSN News at Noon becomes an hour-long broadcast once again.

 

EDIT: I believe KAKE's is straight-up local talk while KWCH's is all news/weather. Don't quote me on this since I don't live in the market so I may be wrong.

Big Bang Theory reruns are moving from WDCA to WDCW starting September 4th.

 

WDCA will fill the missing hour with Extra and the Simpsons (currently Extra airs at 9:30 AM and noon) while WDCW will air only one rerun of black-ish and The Neighborhood daily instead of two.

I live in Kansas and have watched them both. The line between news and talk is flimsy for each of them at 9.

Yeah, apologies. Took a quick look at the KCRG website.

90% clearance for People Puzzler. Here’s the show’s website.

alright we have some stuff going on in orlando now 

 

 

 

WESH: either ET (which has been on at 7pm for at least 15+ years now and has been on WESH in the 7pm hour since 1981) or access hollywood is going….somewhere may only be as far as wkcf. but they’re starting the 7pm news wars here. their own 7pm news will be going against WKMG’s decade old news starting 9/11. the rest of the schedule should be the same, we’ll find out when 9/11 gets here 

 

WRBW - they lose the Big Bang theory after 12 years. it’s (supposedly) moving to WKCF. anyway they’re flipping the court block and talk show blocks around…at least the week of 9/4. judge judy also moves to 7pm as a lead in to the 8pm news. 

 

WKCF - allegedly was getting the Big Bang theory on Labor Day but the schedule on tv passport shows the same it’s always been. 

 

 

quiet opening to September. things will be a lot different when everything starts on the 11th.

If it’s a half hour newscast I could see ET moving to 7:30 and AH moving to the sister station.

Press release says it'll be a half an hour. They didn't say which show will be on at 7:30.

[bpatrick 73]

It sounds logical that WESH would move ET to 7:30.  However, I suspect WFTV is going to clean up from 7-8, with "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune."

[Georgie56 3293]

Yet another Gray station trading a talk show for a local program.

 

KFVS is dropping Kelly Clarkson for new local program Heartland Afternoon at 3pm September 5th. InvestigateTV+ will follow one week later at 3:30pm on September 11th.

[Georgie56 3293]

A couple of notes from this TVNewsCheck piece on syndication:

 

- You Bet Your Life has been cancelled due to the writers’ strike.

- Who The Bleep Is That? is a go for this fall after Fox’s test run back in March.

[Georgie56 3293]

KTVT is dropping their 6pm newscast for a block of J! and Wheel.
