DAYS OF OUR LIVES MOVES TO THE CW IN LAS VEGAS

C

cool_guy82

I JUST READ YESTERDAY THAT THE ONLY NBC DAYTIME SOAP OPERA DAYS OF OUR LIVES IS BEING CANCELLED BY THEIR NBC STATION FOR NEWS WHILE THE SOAP MOVES TO THE CW ON MONDAY AUGUEST 19TH
 
The Doctors and Dr. Phil move up to 1 and 2 so the news can air at 3.
 
My thought on this is DOOL will move back to KSNV once the contracts run out on the syndicated programming. I believe when InterMountain West communications announced they were going the news route, they said by 2017 they would only have NBC programming interrupting a full day of news.

I think KSNV is counting on NBC ending their airing of DOOL after their current contract expires and either going the AMC/OLTL direction of going online or just ending entirely, so they wouldn't have to do that in 2017.

It could've been worse though; the station could have buried it on one of their subchannels and made it a non-HD program in the area. At least on the CW station it still airs in HD and that station has not only one less hour of trash talk to air, but some higher quality ads in that hour to carry.

but the those trash TV shows might attract better demographics (younger)
 
What happens when "Rachel Ray", "The Doctors", or "Dr. Phil" gets cancelled or moved to another channel in about 2 years from now? Then, KSNV could get "Days" back from KVCW.
 
As I said in the Syndication TV forum about KSNV, I wonder if NBC is thinking about yanking the affiliation. If they are going to preempt a national NBC program to the CW station, then that means maybe even more NBC programming will go bye bye soon...

But why would they want to do that? As stated in the articles linked earlier, the station is to looking to move towards being all news (local and NBC) except for NBC Primetime. Bringing Days back to the lineup doesn't align with that strategy.

I doubt that they would have dropped Days of Our Lives in the first place if they had any plan to take it back down the road.

Broadcast stations generally control 100% of the advertising time in locally produced programming (which is news is such a valuable commodity to the stations) -- the same is definitely not true for network programming.
 
I think this is a case of jumping the gun. If the networks
wanted to yank the affiliation of a station that pre-empts
one show, every affiliate in the country (not the o&os) would
have been vulnerable years ago, when the networks weren't
as tough on the affiliates about pre-emptions. Would ABC yank
WFAA's or KSAT's affiliation just because they air "The Chew"
a day behind? I don't think so. Likewise, neither WFAA nor
WSB carries "World News Sunday" but that hasn't been cause
for ABC to drop either station; ABC has nowhere to go in Dallas,
except to a weaker virtual UHF, since CBS, Fox, and NBC have
o&os there; ABC is not about to switch in Atlanta.

Now if Channel 3 in Las Vegas pulled a KXLY and began moving
NBC's primetime schedule around, NBC would have cause to find
a new home in Las Vegas. (For those who don't get it, KXLY was
a CBS affiliate in Spokane with a habit of scheduling network shows
as it saw fit; CBS got fed up with it in the mid-'70s and moved to
KREM. WKRG Mobile was another CBS affiliate that would schedule
network shows to suit itself, and I guess the fear of also losing its
affiliation caused it to start airing practically everything in pattern
around 1975.)

As someone else mentioned (or hinted), Channel 3 is probably banking
on "Days" getting canceled within the next couple or three years; it's
a good bet that if that happens, NBC will not replace it and the station
will have all day to run news (or at least the time between the end of
the "Today" show and the start of "Nightly News").
