News Shows coming to Scripps
- Thread starter mgsports
- Start date
They're meant for the early prime access slots where Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy and ET air right now, which Scripps will end carrying on their stations in September due to the costs of licensing the shows. Like many of the stations that have stopped carrying those shows, these will probably fail too; the Sony game shows might attract an older audience, but that older audience is pretty darned sticky and dependable and will follow the channel into network primetime.
In Milwaukee for instance, the top-rated NBC affiliate dumped the Sony shows in 2005 (idiotically just after Ken Jennings's 75 game winning streak) and the struggling CBS affiliate took them up and brought them right into competition, grabbing Dr. Phil last year, while the NBC station has been stuck with bombs in syndication and about three hours of local news with a severe case of repetition that has made the market up-for-grabs newswise.

In Phoenix Jeopardy and WOF are not back to back: one airs at 4:30 amidst local news and the other at 6:30. You pretty much know where each of these shows is going.

Except "PM Magazine" was done by Westinghouse/Group W, not Scripps.

. If there's any Scripps station that deserved those shows and the boost it gave, it was WMAR; it's getting to the point where they're about to reach KDNL levels of irrelevancy in that market. They haven't had a thing go their way since they had their newsroom strike in 1982.mrschimpf said:EJM said:

KNXV in Phoenix is not far behind WMAR. If it wasn't for "WOF" and "J!," they'd still be stuck deep in fifth place in most news timeslots. I don't know what's going to happen to the station's news ratings after they game shows move back to KTVK, but I have a feeling it won't be good for them.
"WOF" and "J!" are two of the oldest-skewing shows in syndication. I am surprised to hear FOX affiliates picking the show up, given most of the stations target a younger audience.
In Cleveland, Ohio I think Jeopardy & Wheel maybe a good move for WOIO-CBS 19, if WEWS 5-a Scripps owned ABC station-abandons both game shows completely from this station; In Tampa Bay, Jeopardy & Wheel could end up going over to News 10-A CBS Station-From ABC's Action News 28; And in Denver, Both Wheel & Jeopardy could go KCNC-CBS 4 from ABC's KMGH-Which is bt the way owned by Scripps.
