NBC Considers Cutting Back Programming Hours in Prime Time
- Thread starter Joey1986
- Start date
Keep in mind Fox did that in the 1980s. Very different time. Fox was dealing with stations who, for the most part, were independent (such as the former Metromedia stations in NY and LA) that had been built around 10PM newscasts.
You mean after 12:30? Budgeting for late night is different than prime time.
Then what do they do with all of their very profitable O&Os?
Fox has aired Monday through Saturday 7-9pm since they launched on every night of those days. Of course Fox also aired latenight on Saturdays off and on since 1988 with Comic Strip Live, Tales From The Crypt, Saturday Night Special, Mad TV, Late Night with Spike something and now repeat programming.
Sundays has been 6pm to 9:30pm then 6pm to 10pm and 6pm to 9pm. Except now 6-7pm is usually for sports after shows and if no sports reruns of other Fox programming.
I'm truly fascinated by your hate for Mr. Zucker. I can only wish I had his success and multi-million dollar salary.
Jeff Zucker IMO is a disgusting narcissistic pervert who enabled, and turned a blind to toxic workplace behavior at both NBC and CNN while committing the same inappropriate behavior himself. Being a Trump fan he enabled Trump. He took NBC from #1 to #4/5 and let CNN become a hot mess. The fact that he was eventually fired from both speaks volumes.
Local news and syndication? The network model is changing. People are not watching live except for sports. It will all be streaming soon.
Have you considered seeking help for this obsession?
NBC's switch to a Saturday Today Show and teen shows was the first step in the death of Saturday morning cartoons.
The model changed a while ago, thanks to DVR. People don't have to watch a TV show live in order for it to get credit.
How does 'live+3' work in television metrics?
You think binge-watching your favorite show weeks after its episodes air will help pump up its ratings? Think again. Live+3 television ratings metrics have changed things considerably.

What they find is that even with streaming, the broadcast model still delivers a mass audience. So it's not a one-or-the-other thing, but both. That's why the networks won't totally give up on broadcast, but incorporate it into a multi-platform system.
LOL. Actually this has been the funniest thread on this site in years.
One might wonder, with a truncated schedule in the Eastern and Pacific zones, the networks might bring Central and Mountain into the same schedule, clock time wise. The technology has existed to delay network feeds for quite some time
CW and My Network too. CW normally does only two hours on Sundays, and it didn't have Sundays for a while. And it only added Saturdays a year or so ago.
You're talking about Central time, right?
Probably didn't matter. Programming on cable channels was drawing kids away from the networks already. By 2000, the only people who longed for Saturday morning network cartoons were baby boomer and Gen X parents and grandparents, not the kids themselves.
