I remember back in the early 90's. 10A-12N Game Shows, 1P-4P NBC Soaps (Another World, Days of Our Lives, and Santa Barbara), right now. 9-11A (2 Hours of Additional Today) 1-2P Days of Our Lives. Enough said about NBC Daytime. They should kept an extra 2 HOURS instead of giving the time slot back to the affiliates. NBC stations especially the O&O are hurting because they don't have any quality program to fill the time period.

Question about NBC Daytime
- Thread starter Kurt Toy
- Start date
I wish CBS would put The Talk directly head-to-head against The View. It would be interesting to see who would win. But then again, The Price is Right has been in that 10:00 a.m. timeslot ever since they went to an hour-long show, close to 40 years ago now, so I don't look for that to change any time soon.MarcB said:Actually that was at the network level, not the local level. As the World Turns ended it's run on Friday September 17th. The network ran a second episode of Price is Right at 2PM Eastern for the week of September 20th-September 24th. Then the week of September 27th-October 1st they ran a second episode of Let's Make a Deal. Then for 2 weeks October 4th-October 8th and October 11th-October 15th they aired a second episode of Price is Right again.firepoint525 said:Meanwhile, WTVF-channel 5 (CBS) was carrying Price is Right twice a day until The Talk started this week! :

Smarter move for CBS not to go head to head. There's room, often, for multiple shows in a speciality genre airing at different times, but it gets crowded head to head. CBS benefits by getting those who either prefer their take on the "women's chat" show and those who like both, as there's no reason to believe it has to be "either/or." They get counter-programming opportunities in both slots, not a bad scenario.
Which is one of the most fundamental rules of programming:
don't invade another network's territory (in this case, ABC at
11 AM) with a copy of something that already works. Besides,
I see no good reason for CBS to move "Price Is Right"(can you
name a CBS affiliate whose noon news isn't number one, even if,
in the Central Time Zone, "Y&R" is on before the news?). If CBS's
affiliates want to pair "Price" and "Let's Make A Deal" let them move
"Deal" to 10, where I hear it isn't doing that badly.
And at the very least "The Talk"/"Let's Make A Deal" (3 PM) combo
is a counter to soaps on ABC.

A CBS without the number one news at noon? How about KYW, which was so much of an also-ran that they turned it into a magazine-style show.

A simple response to a question posed that was about...let's see, what was the topic...oh yes, news.
I need to make a correction. "Search For Tomorrow" lasted
31 years on CBS, four on NBC.
As for gregg73's comment, I know of a few CBS stations that
don't do a midday news, including at least one o&o: KTVT
(WIAT Birmingham and WHP Harrisburg are a couple more affiliates
that don't). My point is that most, obviously not all, CBS affiliates
are number one at noon, regardless of whether "Price" or "Y&R" is
the lead-in. For instance, I would doubt that WGCL beats WSB
in Atlanta, even with "Price" on WGCL and "The View" on WSB.
The whole point is that there is absolutely no incentive to move
"Price" out of the 11/10 slot; it's an alternative to "The View," it
helps most of CBS's affiliates, and--likewise--"The Talk" is an
alternative to "One Life To Live" at 2/1.
