I have yet to see it on the Chicago Ion station. If I'm awake, I usually flip channels around that time, and will usually pass by PSIP 38.1 to see what PSIP 38.3 (Ion Life) has on around that time. I still see infomercials on at that time. I'll have to check again to see if it happened on the Chicago Ion station, or if they're still infomercials. I have to remember that I'm in the central time zone. Now if they can just put something worth watching on their main channel. Ion Life is worth watching more than Ion TV.

I'm a huge Family Feud Fan so I often watch the Family Feud reruns that air 5PM-7PM Eastern. My mom sometimes watches MASH, which airs 4PM-5PM Eastern. They're not my cup of tea but a lot of people like the reruns of NCIS, Ghost Whisperer, and Criminal Minds. Although they're shown too many times some of the movies are good. This past weekend they showed The Godfather (again not my cup of tea). They also air My Name is Earl 11PM-12AM Eastern on Sundays. (Weird show. I sometimes watch it). And my personal favorite CHEF EMERIL has a new show that airs 5PM-6PM Eastern on Sundays.
I checked the schedule for ION's national feed, which is carried by Charter in Jackson, TM, and the Qubo shows are on earlier there as well, so it must be on the entire network.

I just checked my local Ion TV station (after originally saying they hadn't changed in Chicago), and it's an hour of Qubo (probably on all Ion TV stations). On the Chicago station, it's at 7-8am CT.

My mom watches a lot of Ghost Whisperer & maybe NCIS, along with Emeril LaGasse (not too crazy about his show as I watched it once). I don't know if she watches any movies on Ion TV. I have yet to find any programs worth watching on Ion TV like I can on Ion Life. But Ion Life has shown a lot of The Godfather as well. So maybe both Ion TV & Ion Life are sharing the same movie library. On Ion Life, I like to watch Gen's Guiltless Gourmet, Design U, Home Team, & My Green House (also shown on Livewell HD). For both Ion TV & Ion Life, it would be nice when they can afford to afford more programming (including seasons 2-4 of Design U that they don't have). Junk Raiders is ok, but that show went way too extreme at trying to recycle everything. Might sound right for some things, but not so much that it makes people out to be cheapskates. I don't think there will be anymore episodes other than the 6 that Discovery Channel Canada produced & Ion Life airs on their US network.
Could this be because of schools being out for the Summer, and possibly experimenting with running non-infomercial programming earlier in the day to see how the ratings are? I'd like to see ION expand further in the daytime and drop more ot the infomercials.
