2 NEW SHOWS TO DEBUT AFTER "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" ON MOST NBC STATIONS

1:00 AM in the morning on Sunday. Everyone is either asleep or to drunk to pay attention. 3 People will see these shows.
 
That story says that those two shows will air 'sometime' after SNL during the overnight hours. Looking at WHDHBoston's schedule for this coming Saturday night, that' exactly what's happening:

11:30pm to 1am SNL
1am to 1:30am Paid programming
1:30-2:30am Extra Weekend
2:30am to 3am 1st Look
3am to 3:30am Open House NYC

and more paid programming for the rest of the overnight.
 
...has NBC dumped Poker After Dark and In Wine Country? That's the last lineup post-SNL that I can recall...
 
It's a part of what had been the NBC All Night lineup (at least how it was branded years and years ago). Since Poker After Dark got killed by the federal crackdown on online gambling, NBC's been double-running In Wine Country, which is produced by their station in San Jose/San Francisco, KNTV.

These shows are just local time-filler on NBC's Nonstop network bumped to the big schedule, kind of like how Mad Money now airs on NBC overnights in the terrible screen format it's in. It's either this, or give up the time to the affiliates for either infomercials or Byron Allen shows. My NBC affiliate does the same thing with Live Well Network content that airs on their DT3 channel after SNL, so it's all about pushing people to Nonstop.
 
??? Whatever happened to that extreme sport bloopers show they (ie NBC Buffalo) used to air right after Saturday night live? They were funny!!!
 
Those two that the OP mentioned already at 1 and 1:30 respectively on NBC10 here in Philly. I myself miss the days of Classic SNL whcih used to come on right after SNL, then later was bumped to 2:00.

That would likely be "Whacked Out Sports" which I believe is still syndicated.

Here in Seattle, these new shows will be bumped to 3:30-4:30AM, as KING puts on two Almost Live! reruns after SNL. [local comedy show that aired before SNL in the '90s here in Seattle]

Open House NYC is not a new show. It has already been airing on WNBC in NYC for years...usually around 10am on Sunday mornings. It also airs on the NBC Non-Stop channel. I really don't see why this show would have much interest outside the NYC metro area.
 
KPRC here in Houston has never aired the classic SNL that followed. The GM there in those days who goes by the name Steve Wasserman was a total a-hole. He was the guy who delayed Conan for several years. I think he did the same to Dave too. I remember once Dave wanted to bring the show to Houston for a week but Wasserman wouldn't accomodate him.

It won't!
 
The next logical step is for NBC to sell their late-late night time slots to Byron Allen for his low-budget court shows he produces for syndication.

Both it and WDIV in Detroit are owned by Post-Newsweek Stations (can it still be called that long after Newsweek has left, or do they just don't care?) and they always do heavy pre-emptions of NBC programming, including their entire overnight schedule and anything involving playing cards and poker (they'd probably self-censor a game of 'Go Fish' if they could). In Detroit the same pre-emptions take place, but as the only other choices for NBC in Houston and Detroit to take their affiliations are independent stations run by churches or religious orgs, the network has to suck it up and accept them.

At this point I could forsee Byron taking over NBC with how they've been lately ;D. He turned a terrible show filled with junket interviews into a goldmine and entire networks of programming (constantly looping FiOS exclusive networks, but nonetheless, networks), which still amazes me.

Why don't they just run classic SNL again?

I don't know about ALL of America, but Almost Live is a pretty good rerun in Seattle.
Being specific to that market, how many reruns are there?
Maybe soon enough people will actually get tired of those reruns and demand to see
SNL reruns instead...just a guess! 8)

"Almost Live!" has been syndicated twice - once in the early '90s via the fledgling Comedy Central cable network, and again around 1997 to local stations. Since KING-TV no longer produces new episodes, and that much of the content on the show is Seattle-centric, I don't think it would work on a national basis.

NBC making a deal with Entertainment Studios (with Byron Allen buying the slots and selling the ad time) should make more money for NBC than late-night reruns of "Mad Money." I'm surprised Comcast didn't make a deal with him when they were looking for minority-owned channels to satisfy the FCC's approval for their acquisition of NBC Universal.
