Fall 2008 local station programming changes

Does anyone have an insight on how the local channels will adjust their non-primetime schedules this fall and which weeks that the moves will be made. I see September 8 will be an important date for changes. I know that Montel is over, does anyone know what 2 will do at 10am (could they keep the repeats in that spot). We have Deal or No Deal, Family Court, Trivial Pursuit, Bonnie Hunt, The Doctors, Judge Karen, Judge Jeanine Pirro all coming this fall to syndication and I don't know which stations will air them. Stations also have to fill the holes in their schedules caused by the departures of Judge Maria Lopez and Judge Hatchett.

Does any one have any insight on schedule changes this fall with non-primetime listings on our local channels.
 
Montel is not over. He is going to WPCH. "The Doctors" will replace Montel on WSB-TV.

Bonnie Hunt will be on WAGA.
 
Thanks for the info.

It was my understanding that Montel is done making new shows yet the old shows were going to be syndicated this fall.
 
"Deal Or No Deal" will air at 4:30 on WXIA.
They'll have "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" at
12:30 and 4 PM.

I don't see any changes on WGCL.

That is actually correct. Montel is ending first-run after 17 years. Apparently, Montel went on Fixed Noise Channel and criticitzed them, causing the show (distributed by CBS) to be dropped from Fox O&O's that carried it. CBS could not find new homes, so the show was cancelled. However, NBC will pick up the show in March 2009 (expect it on WXIA or WATL - Montel aired on WXIA in the 90's).
