In Portland, no more Lunch time with Perry Mason

S

ShawnHill1

I found this link on another message board earlier, but people in Portland, Oregon aren't exactly happy that a 46-year tradition came to end on Monday, as Perry Mason moved from its longtime noon timeslot on Fox affiliate KPTV (Channel 12) to mornings on sister station KPDX (Channel 49; MyTV). The Rachael Ray Show now currently occupies into the noon slot on 12.

Is MeTV carried in PDX, and if so, is Mason blacked out at 10 AM and 11:30 PM PT?

KATU (the ABC affiliate there) just added Me-TV to its subchannel lineup back on June 25th. According to the station's listings, The Mod Squad airs in Mason's place in the mornings; Mission: Impossible airs at 11:30pm (along the episodes from the national feed at 2am).

I suspect that's because Perry Mason runs elsewhere in the market (regardless of air time). It's not a common thing, since most of their programming is older but it does happen.

That's certainly the case in Portland, as KPTV/KPDX still holds the rights. We have a similar situation here in Southern California, with another Me-TV show, I Love Lucy, as Fox's KTTV/KCOP holds the rights to that show, and is covered-up here locally on Me-TV by The Lucy Show. KTLA's Antenna TV feed covers-up Married...with Children with a rebroadcast of its 6pm newshour from the main channel, as KDOC holds the rights to MWC (ironically, KTTV had the rights to MWC for nearly 20 years up until a couple of years ago).

TV is hardware. Watch Perry Mason on DVD during lunch. Sure, it costs, but no lousy ads.

I have a bunch of Perry Mason taped off TBS on VHS in my stash.
Along with "The Hour of Power" with Robert Schuller for you Sunday morning viewing pleasure!
