CBS's Face the Nation

MarcB

As of today (7/1) WFSB Channel 3 in Hartford has begun airing the 2nd half hour of Face the Nation. Are there any other stations that only air the first half hour?

With this WFSB made the following changes.

5AM-6AM Eyewitness News (Replaces Infomercials)
6AM-8:30AM Eyewitness News (same)
8:30AM-9AM Face the State (Local Political Show. Replaces Eyewitness News).
9AM-10:30AM CBS Sunday Morning (Same)
10:30AM-11:30AM Face the Nation (The 11AM half hour replaces Face the State)
11:30AM-Noon Infomercial (Same)

Now the only CBS show not cleared on WFSB is one hour of CBS This Morning Saturday Edition.
 
Not sure about any other CBS station I’ve viewed or read about. I do recall back in the 60s in San Diego when then NBC affiliate KOGO/channel 10 (today ABC’s KGTV) cleared only the second hour of The Today Show. The first hour was bumped for cartoons.
 
WWMT (the CBS affiliate in Kalamazoo/Grand Rapids, MI) still airs only the first half hour AFAIK. However, the second half hour does air on its CW subchannel (and the first half hour is simulcast on both CBS and CW feeds)
 
KHOU in Houston runs the first have of Face the Nation live Sundays at 9:30 AM (CT) and runs the second half Sunday night/Monday morning at 2:30.
 
I suspect the adoption of the additional time will be slow amongst the non-O&O affiliates. Margaret Brennan is about as uninspiring a host as any national show could get.
