mre29 1246 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 11 hours ago, CircleWXYZ said: it was corporate who made thar decision, not the ND or the GM. They didn’t want CBS programming preempted so it went to 50. Given 50 is no longer the CW and is now independent, it makes sense. Remember, 62 is a network O&O so it makes sense. The others you mentioned are not network O&O stations. You have to go through a lot of steps to get network programming preempted when you are an O&O. 50 who is also CBS (well owned by CBS) did a great job. Funny, WBZ doesn't seem to have a problem shoving CBS programming over to WSBK when needed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting!!! It may also be they did not want to go through all the hassle and steps of preempting network programming and it was easier to just put it on 50. Also, 50 is still the CW and not officially an independent station yet. So the situation with WWJ/WKBD would naturally be different than that of its cross country sister stations. It is what it is.

Drew Barrymore is moving to sister station WKBD, Detroit 50. ET has moved to Fox O&O and cross town rival WJBK, Fox 2. As for the 7pm hour, I highly suspect that the time slot will eventually be for the 7pm newscast. Edited August 30 by CircleWXYZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually looks like DB is moving to WDIV to replace Rachel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Comics Unleashed remains intact following the repeat of the 11 PM newscast, but that will be it for syndicated programming on WWJ.
