A few things I ncome across regarding Fall TV in Atlanta looking at the schedule for the week of September 4th, as well as what I saw being promoted.
--------------------
I just noticed that WATL will rebroadcast the previous nights dramas the next day from 2-4 PM. This will compete with the soaps on sister WXIA, as well as WSB and WGCL. I don't know if this is permanent, since WATL announced that Greg Bernheart would beon at 2 PM.
I wonder if the My Network dramas will do better in the day than at night.
----------------------
Pat Robertson's "700 Club" goes to WGCL at 9 AM. Channel 46 was put on the air by this windbag in the 70's as WHAE, later WANX, then sold to Tribune in 1984. WGCL must be desperate for cash to give him a spot (and further put the station in the toilet).
-----------------------
"Access Hollywood" returns to WAGA/Fox 5 at 7 PM, moving Geraldo to 7:30. "Access" was originally produced by New World in 1996, which was WAGA's owner at the time. When New World merged with Fox, New World's production units were shut down, and "Access" was distributed by NBC (now NBC Universal).
------------------------
"Inside Edition" goes back to WGCL on 9/11 at 7:30 PM. Show has been going back and forward between WGCL and WSB for years.
------------------------
WUPA is picking up Dr. Keith Ablow's show as well as Megan Mullaly's show, but I don't know the times (both start 9/18). WATL is getting Greg Bernhardt at 2 PM. WXIA has Rachel Ray at 3 PM.
The only new court show is "Christina's Court", which I assume will be on WAGA since Fox produces it.
There are still a few holes that I don't know, because the latest schedule I can get is 9/7.
