Family Feud is overkill where I live it's in a 3-hour block 5PM to 8PM in West Michigan. 

All on the same station? I suppose the syndicator allows it because the show likely has thousands of episodes.

Family Feud has been on the air now for 50 years.  That's not the thing I'm concerned about.  It is Steve Harvey.  Horrible host.  Just my two cents.

 

If Steve is such a "horrible" host, then explain how he's still going strong after 16 years as host? This version probably would have been canceled back in 2010 had he not been hired.

Not all on the same channel WXSP airs it from 5PM to 7PM & WOTV 7PM to 8PM. First hour is Family Feud Favorites.

So it's leaving syndication? I know there are a few shows out there that are on the diginets and main broadcasters.

it said 'digital broadcast rights'

only Two and a half Men was announced as 'digitial broadcast exclusive'

so depending on how you think of that term. We'll see soon enough

Way back when, Family Feud was on maybe once or twice a day on daytime and network TV.  Nowadays, it's on up to 6 times a day BEFORE the network version even airs.

And Steve Harvey has blown past the tenure of Richard Dawson by several years.

 

Then again, Judge Judy is in repeats despite not producing a new episode in over 5 years, even against her successor program Judy Justice.

Here's an interesting new program coming next season on syndication... Front Office Sports Tonight.

 

FOX O&Os are the main group to air them but it'll also be on other station groups such as Gray, Sinclair, and even Sunbeam (so possibly WSVN in my market and either WHDH or WLVI in Boston to carry it).

Too bad its backed by Redbird Capital Partners....the umteenth coming of Jeff Zucker after he drove NBC, CNN and our country into the ground.

[Megatron81 343]

I'll check it out as I like the sports business side of things. In West Michigan it will be between Scripps, Nexstar lower networks not the main 2 ones, Sinclair their Indie station.

WPLG is acquiring Family Feud from WBFS this fall.

Sherri was one of those canceled shows this syndicated season, and here was her last episode in full.

I really don't understand what is supposed to replace Sherri and Kelly. I would think we would have an announcement by now if there were going to be new shows.

KXAS will have 2½ hours a day to fill with the loss of Access Hollywood, Access Live, and Kelly Clarkson.  My guess?  An extra hour of NBC News Daily, a double run of daytime Dateline, and an extra ½-hour of local news at 6:30pm.

(...not that I would know, I've heard nothing )

Same issue with other NBC O&Os.  All are losing the same 2.5 hours.  There have been no announcements yet from WNBC etc.

As previously stated, WRC and KNSD don't have to worry about replacing Access because of existing newscasts and the Jeopardy/Wheel hour respectively.

And what about overnights? They re-air Access, Access Live and Kelly. More Dateline?

[HanSolo 467]

It’s just May. The stations don’t need to be focused on ensuring they’ve announced what they’ll be filling some slots with yet. There are plenty of options between what’s in the market and in-house, depending on the station. All will become clear soon enough.

I'm thinking that Fox-owned stations will probably use July to launch their new programming out of the World Cup (which is why Sherri got rushed off the air now rather than working through the summer). I won't be shocked if news hours moved from Fox Local are the replacement.

WFLD is already local from 4:30am-1pm with Good Day Chicago, the simulcast of Chicago Now from Fox Local Chicago and their noon newscast.

Same with WTXF. They have Good Day from 4am to 10am, then the Good Day After Show (which I still don't understand) from 10am to 11am, then FOX Local shows from 11am to noon. Then Sherri finally starts at noon. Meanwhile 25WOL and Divorce Court are both aired after midnight. (I'm not trying to make this a list thread.) I wonder if Jennifer Hudson may have some time slot changes on the FOX O&Os since she's continuing while Sherri (which usually airs right before) has been cancelled. WTXF airs her at 1pm, which is an odd time for a talk show IMO.

 

Are Judge Judy reruns ending? I feel like I've heard that but don't know if it's true. If so, WTXF needs to fill the 2pm hour, too. Hell, at this rate, we might see some of these FOX O&Os picking up the America's Funniest Home Videos reruns!

But they also do a podcast-y news/talk (radio-like?) format on streaming from 1-4pm. Any of that could be plugged in on 32 or 50, just like their 6-7 & 8-9pm shows are, on the latter station.

They will likely stick with reruns of 'Sherri' until the Fall (September) and move either the Jason Show or TMZ/Extra to 1P (or 2P if they move JHud up to 1P). Can't see them airing only one hr of 'Chicago Live'.

[TheNewsTV 342]

With this move by KNTV, I believe that the other NBC O&O stations will do the same by ending syndicated programs and replacing them with NBC News Now programs or expanding local news coverage.
