CBS Atlanta schedule release

Since CBS made sure TV passport and Titan TV's on-line schedule reflects its new o&o in Atlanta, we now have a run down how the weekday schedule will look. Im suprised to see that Tamron Hall will be on at 3pm after being in that same slot on Channel 2. Otherwise I see that current WUPA programs like Judge Ross and Cutlers Court will air at 4:30am and 6:30am respectively. American Housewife will have the 5am hour. The bonus Hour of CBS mornings will air at 9am and Family Feud will air at noon.
 
Checking several listing services, WUPA is showing the CBS schedule for Monday, August 18 and then back to the old WUPA schedule Tuesday and Wednesday, August 19 and 20.

WANF is still showing CBS programming through 8/20.
 
I saw those schedules and wonder if there's a mistake concerning WANF showing CBS through August 20.
I'm confused about Tamron Hall because she's still on Channel 2 at 3 PM according to these listings. And
Family Feud is occupying practically every slot where there could be local news: noon, 6, 7, 7:30, and 11 PM.
I would think CBS would have a local newscast ready to go; maybe one starts in September.

They are still hiring for the news side of things

 
I finally found updated schedule for the upcoming first weekend of independence on channel 46. On tv tonight has schedule posted for the 16th and 17th. ANF will do news 8-10am Saturday and Sunday, 5-7pm on Sunday for sure then 10-11:30pm on weekend evenings. The schedule shows 12 hours of high school football from 10am to 10pm on Saturday.
 
Looks like for primetime weekdays they plan to run Big Bang Theory 7:30 to 9 PM.

Where did you find that? Because I'm looking myself and can't seem to find any weekday indie schedule for WANF just yet.
 
I expect ontvtonight.com will show us Monday morning when they add the 18th to their listings. I assume tv titan and tv passport will update wanf at some point before the switch in less than a week. Im still trying to figure out if 2 and 69 will air Tamron Hall at 3pm because no posted listings have 2 airing something else at 3pm. Maybe on tv tonight will have an answer tommorrow as well

No need because I can tell you now, and all this is according to OnTVTonight as well.

WSB-TV is moving Kelly Clarkson to 3pm and adding Drew Barrymore to 10am. WUPA CBS Atlanta will be the home for Tamron Hall at 3pm come 8/18.
 
WANF's schedule is horrifying. An extremely excessive amount of local news and the bare minimum of ... anything else. This is the best Gray could come up with?!?

They'd have been much better off moving Peachtree Sports in WANF's place.

WPLG Miami lost their ABC affiliation last week and they went to 95 hours a week of news and what was left was basically crap. Have a look at WUPA's schedule. It seems like every empty spot where normal local news goes is filled with Family Feud. All of the stations have dreggs in programming because programmming deals are signed in year or years.
 
WANF has the advantage of owning channel 17 and Peachtree Sports Network so thats more than WPLG had to pull from. It looks like the current ATL Live that currently airs 9:30 to 10am will expand to an hour and air at 10am and 1pm. Gray's Local News Live service is still said to be on 17 at 2pm but will also air at 2pm on 46. The 6:30pm newscast will be weather focused like several other Gray stations in other markets. 46 will have a local WNBA game at 10pm the 19th blocking out the news from 10to 11:30pm and Sports Overtime that will air nightly at 11:30pm. weeknights so GA high school sports show at 2am.

CBS has Drew on most of their own and operated CBS stations I find it odd that shes moving to 2 with the affiliation change at 69. I wonder if this was planned before the CBS affiliation was secured. There are a lot of shows that 69 has no room for now, who would take them. When 46 went CBS they were able to sell the excess programming to 36 i believe if I remember correctly. But things are different now 30 years later.
 
So, here is a way to see the whole WANF schedule. Go to the site below but do not click on the individual station. Just view in the grid with all of the other stations.


All I can say is WOW. That is a lot of local news. By the way, the Local News Live show is crap. I saw some of it today on the app. The have an anchor that would be more at home on one of the small (really small) market TV stations. The Atlanta facility produces the local news for several of the small markets in the southeast, so I am sure they are just using some of the talent from one of those markets. If not, somebody did a very bad hire.
