Another station moving "Let's Make A Deal" to 10 AM

[bpatrick]

Just got back from Myrtle Beach; while I was down there
I saw that WBTW/13 is moving "Let's Make A Deal" to 10 AM
effective Sept. 7. With Julie Chen's show at 2, I still think
there'll be more CBS affiliates moving "LMAD" to 10 and substituting
a syndicated talk show at 3. Let me know if your CBS affiliate is
moving "LMAD" from afternoon to morning (not if it hasn't already
done so), particularly if Media General owns the station, as it does
WBTW.

WFSB-TV (CBS) channel 3 of Hartford moved Let's Make A Deal to 10 AM a couple of months ago and swapped it with Better Connecticut, with the local segments produced by anchor Kara Sundlun (-House) and weatherman (barely) Scot Haney.

Certainly, it would be a better lead-in for a syndicated talk show than "LMAD"...

And please, don't call it "Julie Chen's show" - especially when she could possibly be the weakest link of all the hosts on that program. Call the show what it truly is: "The View Wanna-be."

I call it the "Darlene Connor Show" : I heard that Sara "Darlene Connor" Gilbert is the brain child of this project.

Well, she does have a brain. She's one of the brainy geeks on "The Big Bang Theory", though she hasn't been on lately.

Maybe she couldn't come up with any brainy contributions so the writers errrr directors [because they must not have writers the way you're describing it] just stopped letting her appear and speak when they're taping the show?

WTKR/3 Norfolk, VA is moving "LMAD" to 9 AM, setting up a block with
"Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" from 10 to 11, and "TPIR" from 11 to 12.
Although WTKR and WBTW are not sister stations, both will be running
Ellen at 3.

WCBS-TV NYC has been running Let's Make A Deal at 10am since it debuted. I thought that's the time CBS planned for it, since it's back-to-back with Price Is Right. But I guess that's not true. The soap it replaced, Guiding Light, was also a 3pm show that some affiliates and even O&Os in the East ran at 10am, so they could put a syndicated show on at 3pm. They can't do that in the West since Price Is Right airs at 10am in the Pacific Time Zone.

In NYC, WCBS-TV runs Dr. Phil at 3. Since Oprah/Harpo produces his show, it can't run at the same time as Oprah on WABC-TV at 4pm. So WCBS-TV runs Phil at 3, Judge Judy at 4.

By the way, I find it interesting that the CBS station in Norfolk is running LMAD at 9am, with a double run of Millionaire at 10am. (Full disclosure... I won $16,000 on Millionaire a few years ago.) I wonder where the second half hour of Millionaire comes from for markets that run the show twice a day? Do they run last year's shows? Do they advance-run shows that most markets will see later this season? The taping schedule for Millionaire is very intense from September to December. I think Merideth does four or five shows every weekday afternoon in the fall but then most of the season is in the can before Jan. 1. Because of her Today Show duties, she's one of the few game show hosts who has a sub several weeks a year.

Yep.

WBNS 10TV in Columbus has aired the game at 10 a.m. from day one and moved "Dr. Phil" to 3 p.m.

WOIO CBS19 in Cleveland moved the show to 10 a.m. late last year and put "Judge Mathis" in the 3 p.m. slot.

Theoretically, CBS's West Coast affiliates could have run "GL" at 9 AM (PT) but except for KOVR Sacramento's pre-emption of "GL," I don't know of any West Coast stations that carried it in the morning (in fact, the only station outside the Eastern time zone that carried it in the morning was WBBM Chicago). KOVR and KCBS do run "LMAD" at 9 AM; KCBS put Rachael Ray at 2 after "GL" was canceled; I don't know what KOVR carries at 2.

According to TitanTV on its website, KOVR has "The Doctors" at 2 pm.

The Drs. and Dr. Phil are on from 2-4 PM leading to CBS 13's 4 PM News and another thing to point out, KOVR since 1995 has aired their prime programs in the CT/MT time zones (7-10 PM). That's because their hour long 10 PM news is #1 among viewers and it avoid competition from Mr. Big shot KCRA(p) which "Where The News Comes First" slogan is making their ego's look whacked out since Hearst is making their station overrated.

BTW, the only other stations besides KOVR and KCBS to air LMAD at 9 AM is KOIN/KBNZ in Portland/Bend Oregon. (Albeit the latter is a semi-satellite of KOIN, they carry almost the same programs except they have to syndex-out the programs when it conflicts with KOHD, KTVZ, KFXO or KTVZ-DT2.

Well, that means she was very convincing speaking the words the writers wrote.

Congratulations to Jim Parsons!
