Regis & Kelly on NBC stations.

WWLP Channel 22 in Springfield, Mass lost the rights to R&K on August 24th, 2009. They carried R&K 9-10. Then The Today show aired after R&K, but I don't remember if it was the 3rd & 4th hour or just the 4th. R&L know airs on CBS TV 3 WSHM-LP/67. WSHM-LP runs R&K Live at 9AM and airs The 700 Club at 10AM. The 700 Club had been airing at 9AM. (The 700 Club is a hold-over from when WSHM-LP was a TBN O&O). Better Springfield (which has no local inserts got bounced from 10AM to 6AM).

On another note with WWLP - someone wanna tell me why they think an Infomercial and a rerun of Friends is a good lead-in to their 12PM News? And why they think airing infomercials 2PM-3PM is a good idea?

Helena, Montana's KTVH-12 (nee..."Beartooth NBC") airs Regis and Kelly at 10 am, delaying the "Hoda & Kathie Lee Show" to 11 as does Tupelo, Mississippi's WTVA. Though until this fall they were delaying "Hoda and KL" until 1:30pm.

For anywhere but the east coast, I don't think it really matters what time slot Regis and Kelly airs as its going to be tape-delayed by default. When Regis and Kelly are live at 9am on the east coast, everywhere west of the Indiana/Illinois border to the Florida panhandle is airing either an hour of their network morning show (for CT it's the 2nd hour; MT, 1st hour), still in the last hour of local news (PT) or airing whatever it is they put on in the middle of the night (Alaska/Hawaii).

Why doesn't WJAR carry Regis and Kelly, Ellen, and Oprah in HD.

I'm not totally sure, but I think the syndicated rights for the HD feed of the show maybe an extra cost...where some station groups are being cheapskates about it and not picking it up, or another station within a nearby distance has the rights, and is precluding the station from attaining them.I think the latter is less likely.

R&K at 10am is happening in Providence and Baltimore, two markets that are shadowed by larger markets. I remember WJZ 13 (CBS) got away with not airing the first hour of CBS Early Show, possibly justified between CBS and its owned station, on the basis that if somebody in Baltimore really wanted to see it, they could use an antenna and watch WUSA. But other east coast CBS stations (including the O&Os) didn't dump the first hour, and probably weren't permitted, even if the ratings weren't good, and local news could do better. CBS eventually ended the practice (likely because affiliates would claim unfair and would start doing the same), and WJZ now airs the full 2 hours.
