CBS Mornings adding third hour

I don’t see this being cleared by very many affiliates unless it is pushed to a duopoly channel.

And then there's GMA 3 on ABC so CBS joining the party isn't a surprise

Only question now is what will get dumped to accomondate it?? Here in Denver, CBS O&O KCNC 4 has a 9:00 AM newscast

Affiliates that have “pay for play” programming in the morning aren’t going to give that up, an example being Great Day Houston on KHOU. I could see TEGNA clearing a third CBS hour on sibling KTBU.

Naah.. GDH would move to KTBU instead
 
I'm wondering if, when CBS expands beyond these test markets, it will be on streaming, There are just too many affiliates that are not going to give up their local 9 AM shows.

I do. I just remember there was such a show. It was also "Summer Semester" in the summer.

Sunrise Semester usually aired at 5:30, 6, or 6:30 AM. There was no CBS Early Morning News; the CBS Morning News was on at 7, followed by Captain Kangaroo at 8. And I don't know how much pressure CBS put on its affiliates to carry Semester; in the places I lived during those years it was pre-empted in Greenville/New Bern/Washington and in Tampa. We got it in Raleigh/Durham, Norfolk, Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville, Birmingham (when NBC/CBS affiliate WVTM had it, but when WIAT became the fulltime CBS affiliate it was dropped), and Dallas/Fort Worth. Like CBS's Sunday-morning block of Lamp Unto My Feet, Look Up And Live, and Camera Three, Semester became the victim of station attrition: first, more and more affiliates wanted local morning shows; second, affiliates got just compensation for carrying the show, which was nowhere near what they could get for commercials on local programs. (On Sundays, there was more potential revenue from paid religion.) Although it was by no means the only one, WTVD (then-CBS) was the one I most remember carrying it to the bitter end.

CBS already takes up more real estate on affiliates’ daytime schedules than the ABC and NBC. The odds they get anyone they don’t own to take that hour without giving back another slot are somewhat less than me being named People’s sexiest person who ever lived.

It was carried in Syracuse. I remember because one day I was up early and happened to catch an interesting psychology lesson being taught by a very attractive NYU professor, whose cuteness kept me watching right through the conclusion of the mini-course. Funny how I don't remember the lessons at all now.
 
Some affiliates may end up squashing the 3rd hour to a sister station or a DT2, my guess. They won't want to give up a local show at 9AM or a popular syndicated show. And some west coast affiliates even air CBS daytime shows at 9AM (KIRO airs Let's Make a Deal).

Yes.

Read the article. It's designed for the O&O markets and for the CBS News streaming channel.

Seeing this got me to thinking about how when I was a kid in the 60's and possibly early 70's that I could remember seeing Tom and Jerry cartoons on Sunday mornings on what was then WREC CBS 3 in Memphis. Would that have been from CBS or was that shown locally? Thanks!
 
Tom and Jerry were on CBS Sunday mornings at 9 (ET)/8 (CT) from 1967 to 1972. I remember them airing in Birmingham at the same time you probably watched them in Memphis. if Channel 3 aired them at 8.

I had to watch the show on WDBJ because WFMY had Oral Roberts and delayed the show to Saturdays.
