FOX? CW? UPN? MeTV? Antenna? COZI? The WB?

I read recently that the show is being distributed by CBS, so it's a decent bet that Arsenio will appear on CBS or CW O&Os. So in the SF Bay Area, I'll guess KBCW (CW44).  in LA - KCAL-9 (owned by CBS but independent).

Of course, CBS distributed shows often appear on other carriers- Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortunebeing 2 obvious examples.

Lots of different network affiliates and independent stations.  Depends on your market.

Here was the press release when this was announced, complete with some affiliate mentions:

So it's co-distributed by Tribune as well as CBS. And here in NYC it's gonna displace Seinfeld reruns on WPIX. That might not fare too well with some, since they've actually promoted that.

Oh, wah hah hah to them. There's nine months before the Dog Pound takes over. Loads of time to find another spot for Jerry's boys.

Meanwhile...

I read recently that the show is being distributed by CBS, so it's a decent bet that Arsenio will appear on CBS or CW O&Os.

As the presser states, Tribune has locked the show into 17 markets. In Seattle, it's a toss-up between KCPQ/13 and KZJO/22. The former took Arsenio's prior series, so I'm betting it goes there right after the 10 PM newshour.

Arsenio has now been cleared in 85% of the country.  In the Boston market, it should air on WSBK, sister station to WBZ.

You just know his audience, certainly the studio audience, will do the 'woof woof' thing constantly.  But you gotta wonder if it will be The Arsenio Hall show all over again (the dogpound, kick it Sandy, things that make you say hmmmmmmmm, Burton Richardson's 'Arsenioooooooooooooooooooooooo Halllllllllllllllllllllllllll", Michael Wolf, the John B Williams Poetry Moment) or if there will be anything new.  I realize Craig Ferguson has been anointed Letterman's successor but, since CBS is involved, if Arsenio takes off, he just might become Dave's successor when Dave retires.

Here's a promo for Arsenio:

And a reminder of the old days:

And, speaking of the old Arsenio days, I certainly wouldn't mind a return of Star Parodi.

I realize Craig Ferguson has been anointed Letterman's successor but, since CBS is involved, if Arsenio takes off, he just might become Dave's successor when Dave retires.

I wouldn't be so sure, only in that Arsenio turns 57 in mid-February, and he not that much younger than Letterman (who's 65).  I think CBS wants to go with someone younger, which fits Ferguson younger.  Letterman's production company owns both late night timeslots on the network, and I think 11:35pm/10:35 Central/Mountain is Ferguson's upon Letterman's departure unless otherwise.

My bet says it will be on WCCT-TV (CW) channel 20 of Waterbury/Hartford. Sister station WTIC-TV (FOX) channel 61 of Hartford will likely stick with their 11 PM newscast (both stations are with Tribune).

According to the article, WGN-TV will pick up Arsenio Hall, & have him on at 10pm, after their 9pm newscast (will displace 30 Rock & 2 & A Half Men reruns).  It'll go up against the local 10pm newscasts from CBS, NBC, & ABC, & the the first half hour of The Late Show With David Letterman & The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
