Replacing Megan and Geraldo

K

KS-IL-IA

What are each of your markets doing to replace "The Megan Mullally Show" and "Geraldo at Large" ? I read in one of the trades that NBC was offering either "iVillage Live," "Queer Eye" or "Starting Over" for Megan, and that Fox is pushing its morning show, somehow, as a Geraldo replacement.

Any news on local schedules appreciated...
 
I can't imagine WHDH in Boston picking up reruns of Starting Over. During the time in between when they dropped Ellen DeGeneres and picked up Megan Mullally, they had repeats of Access Hollywood and Extra! Maybe they'll go back to doing that.
 
In Dallas-Fort Worth:

KTXA/21 the ex-UPN-now-indie-but-CBS-O&O has had Megan's show at 9am and has been trounced pretty much from the start up against local news, Today's 3rd hour, Regis & Kelly, Rachael Ray, Judges Alex & Cristina, and Jerry Springer.

KDFW/4 the Fox O&O station has had Geraldo's show at 10:30p after the news...not sure how well it did but I'm guessing it didn't win the timeslot.

I haven't heard what each station will do once they get the shows out of their system.

WCNC in Charlotte has both...Megan at noon and Geraldo at 4. No clue on what they will do.

WCNC has already been filling some middays with infomercials, but not all. They did the same thing when they had both Tony Danza and Wayne Brady at noon and they were canceled. As for Geraldo, they have in the past aired Access Hollywood at 4 pm (which actually now airs at 4 am), so they could revert back to that, or be ballsy and start their afternoon newscast at 4 pm. Currently, their local news runs from 4:30 to 6:30 pm.
 
In Philadelphia: WPHL-TV runs Megan's show at 3 AM Tuesday-Saturday, WTXF-TV runs Geraldo at 11 PM Monday-Friday.

Oddly enough, Geraldo was doing okay on Fox 4. I suspect they would have kept it in place if they had been given the choice on their own.
My guess is they'll now shift Access Hollywood's 11pm repeat to 10:30. They could also move Seinfeld's 10:30 repeat back over from My 27.
 
Seinfeld reruns will replace the just-canceled “Geraldo at Large” at 11 p.m. on WTXF in Philly and Paid programming will replace Megan on WPHL-TV at 3 AM.

here in Philly, Megan originally ran at 4pm, and had been replaced WEEKS ago by another Maury. i believe that the 3am slot was either infomercials or Home Improvement (which was pushed to 4am), so one of those two may replace it there.
I think read somewhere (can't recall exactly) that Geraldo was going to be replaced with Seinfeld. Before Geraldo at 11PM was Malcom in the middle (and before that was Simpsons)

From Laura Nachman 1/16/07:

The major changes are that longtime 5 p.m. occupant, “Judge Judy” moves to 4 p.m. and “Seinfeld” reruns will replace the just-canceled “Geraldo at Large” at 11 p.m.


The Fox29 early evening lineup remains the same with “The Simpsons” at 6 p.m., “Malcolm in the Middle” at 6:30 p.m., “The Simpsons” at 7 p.m., and “Seinfeld” at 7:30 p.m.

On 1/29, an hour of paid programming will take over the 3 AM slot that Megan had on WPHL-TV 17.
 
Here in Savannah, Georgia our affiliate of the CW, WGSA (CW 13), aired The Megan Mullally Show at 4PM. WGSA will be moving an hour-long block of Cristina's Court from its current timeslot of noon to the 4PM slot and replacing the noon timeslot with an episode of Blind Date and Eye For An Eye.
 
WISH CBS 8 in Indianapolis will replace Megan with two episodes of Family Feud at 4P and 4:30P. I don't think this was airing on the station since Megan started production. If it was on, it was buried in overnight.

Actually, Feud was on sister WNDY-23 I believe, at the same time. 23 is putting on Andy Griffith and Lucy reruns (they will continue to air at noon as well)
 
In Philadelphia: WTXF 29 will air “Seinfeld” reruns at 11 p.m. Starting Monday and On Tuesday 1/30, an hour of paid programming will take over the 3 AM slot that Megan had on WPHL-TV 17.
 
From what I've heard...

WBRE (NBC) had Megan, as of Monday, they will be taking a Double Run of Judge Joe Brown from 11-12, which came from their other local station they own WYOU (CBS,) and WYOU will be airing paids from 9-10
 
In Eastern Iowa, The CW aired Megan Mullally at 8am, but titantv.com just says "To be announced" starting Jan. 29th
 
In Orlando

WFTV replaced Megan with the previous day's run Jeopardy and The Insider.

WOFL will move up Still Standing from Midnight to 11 PM in place of Geraldo.
