KATIE COURIC ABC/DISNEY SYNDICATED TALK DEAL MAY BE ANNOUNCED MONDAY
- Thread starter gregg75
- Start date
Really? I had no idea someone else had already surpass Couric in that department.
I see. Before I made my previous comment I've only seen her appearing on NBC and CBS regularly, but not on ABC.
I noticed that it basically says that Katie has signed with ABC for anything that comes her way even before her talk show hits the air and afterwards. I look for Katie to do more than her talk show like subbing for Diane Sawyer on World News Tonight, subbing for Christine Amanpour on This Week, subbing for Barbara Walters on The View, being on 20/20, etc.
Which means the following:
Since ABC is giving the 3:00 Eastern/2:00 Central time slot back to the affiliates and putting Katie's talk show there, I see the cancellation of General Hospital on the horizon unless like I said they move GH to the mornings. And I can't see a non-ABC affiliate picking up the show even though it's syndicated but it has to run on ABC affiliates.
The imminent replacement of Barbara Walters on The View with Katie if the talk show doesn't get the ratings.
Diane Sawyer gets the boot and Katie gets the World News Tonight job or Christine Amanpour gets the boot and Katie gets the This Week job.

Well now that ABC affiliate KMGH 7 gave CBS O&O KCNC 4 a Post-Oprah GIFT by moving it's 4:00 PM newscast back an hour & cutting it half in lieu of a SECOND airing of Inside Edition & moving Dr. Oz to 4:00 PM (I know.....I'm scratching my head over that one too), they LITERALLY have no choice BUT to carry Katie's new show
Obviously someone at KMGH misread (Or FAILED TO) read the ABC affiiliates memo about All My Children & One Life To Live or they wouldn't have made the move they did
As it is now, they not only have the 12:00 Noon hour to program (11:00 AM if they move the news to 12:00 Noon) & 2:00 PM (General Hospital will move back to 1:00 PM if news is moved to 12:00 Noon) but they now have the daunting task of programming the 3:00 PM hour as well (Katie will air at 2:00 PM once One Life To Live leaves the air)
Any other affiliates making BONEHEADED kneejerk moves like KMGH did out there (Be it to accomondate Katie or otherwise)?
Cheers

Not this. Se flopped at CBS. Did no one learn?Braves2005 said:
And if anyone needed any more proof she's not suited for that kind of job, look at her Jimmy Kimmel interview from this past week. I don't remember which night because I used TiVo and watched them all last night.

First, I don't see "GH" going to the morning; unlike the situation on CBS where some o&os and affiliates carry "Let's Make A Deal" at 9 or 10 AM, the ABC o&os (WLS being an exception) have Regis And Kelly at 9; WABC, WPVI, and WTVD carry Rachael Ray at 10, and I don't see those stations making any changes unless Regis' retirement brings that show to an end. Then, possibly, ABC gives its o&os and affiliates the choice of times to carry "GH"--but I think that's the only chance "GH" has of getting on in the morning. Second, a non-ABC affiliate is not precluded from carrying Katie's show outside the o&o markets...or even within them if the ABC station turns her down, as WLS does Regis and Kelly and KABC does "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire."
Katie definitely does not get "World News Tonight" after what happened at CBS; she might be OK on "This Week" (Christiane Amanpour has been something of a disappointment), and "The View" would be made to order for her.

GH isn't going to mornings, period. If one of the new talk shows bombs, it could slide back and be a short-term replacement, but little more.
I'd have to agree; what I proposed is a very longshot scenario.
If ABC does cancel "GH" it won't be back; after all the sets and
costumes have been sent wherever, and the actors have secured
other jobs (we hope), getting them back together would be out of
the question (you don't see "As The World Turns" or "Guiding Light"
coming back, do you?). It's much easier to revive a game show,
but I don't see that happening either.

I'll guess GH moves to 2, and the two announced shows are given half hour slots, or the OLTL replacement never materializes, or is reserved for one of the ABC cable networks.
If ABC were to move GH to 10am, it's basically setting it up to be cancelled, and they might as well cancel it. Perhaps the intent is to cancel it, and ABC is just saving face by not having all of its soaps cancelled in one fell swoop.
It would also interfere with Rachael Ray, and I'm guessing WABC, WPVI and WTVD will still want to keep her on their lineups.
I think even moving it to 2pm might affect its audiences as well though. I remember hearing that high school kids would watch it back in the day, but most anyways, get home before 3pm. I'm not sure if that age group is still interested in GH, given that the internet, the smartphone, dvrs, and access to many cable networks etc. provide more entertainment.
If the idea is for a 2pm soap, ABC might as well merge the GH and OLTL storylines, most popular cast members to one soap if possible.

The new shows will be an hour long. That isn't going to change. Nor is ABC taking back the 10 am hour. So that pretty much makes it clear what the odds are for GH. The prognosis is bleak.
I think what we're talking about here is something tantamount
to what CBS did with "Guiding Light"--offering it at 9 AM, 10 AM,
or 3 PM, and we know what happened there. The difference is
that the ABC o&os are basically well set in the mornings, whereas
the CBS o&os were not; also remember that Dr. Phil could not compete
against Oprah, so WCBS and other o&os had to put him at 3 to have
any chance of maximizing his audience (Pittsburgh was the one exception;
Dr. Phil never touched "GL"'s ratings at 3 on KDKA).
Also, ABC has never programmed 10 AM; it programmed 10:30 for
a time in the '60s but gave up after the failure of Dick Cavett in the
morning and hasn't programmed before 11 AM since (I don't count
"Good Morning America"). Again, Homer, I'm emphasizing that the idea
of pulling a "Guiding Light" and allowing a choice of two or more feeds is
a longshot, one I don't realistically expect to happen.
Nor do I expect "GH" to move to 2/1. Soaps are dead, at least on ABC.
