Rachael Ray Competeing Against Herself

MarcB

In several markets (including my own) Rachael Ray's talk show airs at 10AM Eastern. It just so happens that today she is on QVC selling her cookware, etc live 10AM-11AM Eastern. I was just curious has this situation ever happened before where a program host is on 2 different shows at the same time? (I know the talk show is pre-taped, but I still wonder).
 
The latre Billy Mays would sometimes be competing against himself. I would see an infomercial about Orange-Glo. Switch channels and there he was again pitching Orange-Glo!!

That's not competing against yourself, that's saturation advertising. I see it a lot in the Bay Area during local programming, especially the 5:00 and 6:00 PM news hours. Our local news programs have figured out how to break for commercials at the same time...very clever of them...I'm sure it minimizes the threat of people tuning over to the competitor during a commercial break when a story grabs their attention.

If you switch back and forth between the channels during the break, it's not unusual to see the same commercial on a couple of stations at the same time, or at least during the same break.

One of our local car dealers likes to advertise on cable news in the early and mid evenings, so you'll often see their commercial on CNN and FoxNews at the same time, or at least during adjacent breaks.
 
...there are areas of the country where cable talk show hosts who also have/had separate radio shows had the radio programs delayed by the local affiliate to an hour at which the radio show competed with the TV show. In Chicago, Sean Hannity is heard on WLS/890 at the same time his Fox News Channel show has its initial run; in Phoenix, KFNX/1100 ran Bill O'Reilly's radio show at the same time as his FNC show; in Tucson, KJLL/1330 has occasionally run Alan Colmes' and Lou Dobbs' radio shows simultaneous to their respective FNC and CNN programs on cable (and, in Dobbs' case, Sirius sattelite radio)...
 
Happened to see Jimmy Johnson on two different channels this past Sunday. Obviously, one was in his position as Sunday NFL commentator on CBS, but the other was in an infomercial in which he was pitching stock trades or something. I don't know; I didn't stick around to watch it.

Wow! I did not know you were allowed to watch Fox News in the Bay Area,
per some executive order issued by Gavin. Maybe Ahnold overruled him. <wink>
