22 WPNT in Pittsburgh is airing now at 10 (where it used to air) instead of iCrime. I thought SC was pulled out of syndication? Obviously a sudden change not reflected in the web listings yet Ugh. Just for Laughs belongs at 3am. Such an awkward show, you know it's South African because nobody talks- just generic goof music. As a Christian I disagree that Preacher TV would be thar horrible. With that said I don't see the local news bubble bursting, throw on stories from the network feed, repurpose stories from othe dayparts and bam collect the local $$.

Where's Kate snow? I thought she was anchoring. Nvrmnd. I see it's mainly the west coast affiliates. We east coasters get these two randos instead.

WPXI will have just for laughs gags at 3 for a week at 3 until ring Nation debuts the week after. Ring nation and faytime jepoardy replacing the judge judy hour at 3. Judge Judy will replace Maury at 5 on WPGH.

Saw a promo that wpxi will be starting jeopardy reruns at 3:30 replacing the second run of Judge judy.

Looks like Jennifer Hudson is the new Kelly Clarkson as her show replaced The Real at 1:05 on WTAE-TV. Hopefully Clarkson on WTAE at 3pm won't tank the 5pm news. WPXI had her show at 3am for a reason. I wonder what WPXI will have at 3 instead of Judge Judy? Hopefully not more news.

Too bad the cbs theme is pretty vacant sounding compared to the other two. So boring sounding compared to the other two. The best version was the bombastic arrangement during the later Rather years, that was pretty pretty good. Same across the board, local TV is so homogenized-- more than ever.

All Hearst stations must be doing them, WTAE is doing the same.

They're so desperate in making Peacock successful that they're willing to sacrifice the network in the process.

No, actually the first year of Judge Judy aired at 12:30 on WTAE-TV after the noon news.

Since tonight and late night are both taped they should have an 11pm and 11:35 feed and let the stations choose. On CBS y&r has the 11am (12et) and 12:30pm feeds.

CBSEN will fail forever opposite the other two, they really should move the newscast earlier to 5:30 or even 4:30. They should also consider adopting a more tabloid "Inside Edition" format in contrast to the other traditional newscast. If it bleeds, it leads. Worked wonders on the local level with Miami's WSVN. If all that fails just make it a 10-15 minute insert that can be placed into the local news blocks whenever and call it a day.

Well, it's true she was forced out to make room for "next year's model." Luckilly NBC was able to give her some projects before Dateline NBC really took off.

...and that was a couple of decades ago. Irrelevant. Well viewership is a losing battle that they'll never win. It's a streaming world whether you like it or not, the networks need adapt so they don't get left behind. Well those Fox affiliates would have to figure something else or actually start a news division or "news central" it with their ownership group.

No way will SNL move up an hour but I don't see why the tonight show wouldn't, and get a 35 minute jump on cbs and abc.

With all due respect, if they wanted a smaller cast and a tighter script they might as well go once a week. The appeal for me has always been multiple plots at once with characters rotating between front and back burner status. Twice or thrice a week is fine, but then that slippery slope will lead to season breaks. If you have Long breaks then it's a telenovella not a traditional soap.

Just saw a promo that the old judge Judy show is moving from WPXI to WPGH 53 in the fall.

PBRTV suggests that the Jeopardy/Wheel switch may be a CBS thing, for uniformity nationwide. https://www.pbrtv.com/wpxi-flipping-game-shows-july-4/

Have Jeopardy ratings declined notably since trebek? That could be the reason, a weakened Jeopardy as opposed to Wheel?

...and Inside Edotion and Entertainment Tonight on WTAE. I wonder if Jeopardy having two rotating hosts instead of one is a factor in the decision. WPXI had the pair that way for decades.

Good riddance, The Final Word doesn't hold a candle to KDKA-TV's competing Sports Showdown. I believe WTAE has a competing sports show as well.

Apparently it did better than Kelly Clarkson which they banished to 3am where it still airs.

Although unlikely, it would be neat if NexstarCW became more of a full network. With a nightly NewsNation block once or twice a day. Maybe other cheap programming cobbled together from their various resources. Although unlikely, it would be neat if NexstarCW became more of a full network. With a nightly NewsNation block once or twice a day. Maybe other cheap programming cobbled together from their various resources. Nexstar being in a unique position of being able to own many of their stations. Would Nexstar have to swap their network affiliates? Seems like it would be awkward running affiliates for other networks. Also,is there any possibility this doesn't become WGNA 2.0. Trib wanted to compete on the scale of USA and TNT and failed big time.

KD has always been dominant at noon. 30 minutes is more than enough time for news. There's other dayparts they can sell ad time. I wouldn't mind y&REASON moving to 3, Since wpxi moved days to 1. That said, I barely follow the soaps anymore. Hypothetically if b&b moved to 2 it should be an hour, standing fully on its own. Talk has always been a waste of space/vanity project for Moonves's wife and she's not even there anymore. Also one hour newscasts on 4 and 12 were no brainers cause Y&R was killing everything at 12:30. The day late Access Hollywood on ch 4 was a slot warmer for ages. CBS/WB will probably retain some minority share to justify keeping the name the same for a while.

No. Y&R's 12:30-1:30 slot has been key to its success over the decades. Gets a half hour jump on the other channels starting shows at 1. By 1:30 all the hour shows are in progress so you've got a built in audience at 1:30.
