WITI--Gabrielle Carteris had her own show?? ROFLMAO!

Yep, and just like Tempestt Bledsoe, it was one and done.

 

[DToTheJ]

Don't forget Danny (Bonaduce)!

By the way, is the listing for Channel 24 at 1 AM a misprint, or did both Channels 18 and 24 air Richard Bey at the same time?

No, the show aired on both stations at the same time. WVTV and WCGV had a LMA at the time (this was before Sinclair bought WVTV outright) and had the same program inventory, which meant that some shows would switch stations or even air on both at the same time (at one point in the late 90s/early 2000s, The Simpsons aired at 6:00pm on WCGV and at 10:00pm on WVTV).

 

[DToTheJ]

I can understand companies owning two television stations wanting to schedule the same shows on them at different times of the day. That happens today. For example, the WNYW/WWOR duopoly in New York; both stations air Wendy Williams' TV show, among other programs that have been shared...

But I can't fathom the same show - with Richard Bey, of all people - being simulcast on two stations in La Crosse, let alone Milwaukee!

 

[DToTheJ]

PLUS, Bey previously ran on Channel 18! Maybe Channel 24 didn't care for Charles Perez or Tempestt, which also ran on Channel 18 earlier?

It's definitely an oddity, that's for sure. Maybe simulcasting was a budget-cutting move since both stations were in financial straits at the time. (WVTV had just lost a planned affiliation with the WB network and as a result had to borrow movies from WCGV's inventory. Though the WB would eventually affiliate with WVTV in 1998.)

WITI--Gabrielle Carteris had her own show?? ROFLMAO!

Yeah, she had her own talk show. She left Beverly Hills 90210 to host her own show. Like her show that premiered in the 1995/1996 season, Carnie Wilson, Shirley, Charles Perez (technically, his show premiered in 1995 mid 95/96 season), and a number of other shows that I can't think of, that premiered in the 95/96 season, were all cancelled at once. I didn't care for Gabrielle as it aired in Chicago, along with the other shows listed.

WVTV was a longtime independent station prior to the WB affiliation. I never knew there was an effort to affiliate with The WB in 1995. Capemill, do you know why this fell through at the time? Although Milwaukee didn't have a WB affiliate from the onset, I watched all the network's early shows on cable via Chicago superstation WGN which, at the time, was permitted to carry WB shows on the national feed. (That practice ended in fall 1999 when it was deemed there was sufficient coverage throughout the country.)

A deal with the Gaylord group was made in 1994 to affiliate their stations (KTVT, KSTW and WVTV) to The WB network. A short while later, the New World/Fox deal was made and as a result CBS was left looking for an affiliate in Dallas, having lost KDFW to FOX. After failed efforts to affiliate with KDFI and KXAS (CBS's wooing of KXAS was what made NBC buy into the station three years later), CBS started wooing KTVT for their affiliation. Gaylord however would only make the deal if CBS also agreed to affiliate with KSTW as well. CBS, not wanting to lose their last opportunity of a Dallas affiliate, agreed to the deal and both became CBS affiliates. The deal with CBS made Gaylord's agreements with The WB null and void and WVTV was stuck as an independent until 1998, when their new owners signed a deal with The WB.

Thanks for the insight! I had no idea this was going on at the time. I assume KTVT lost its superstation status when it joined CBS, thus no longer qualifying per FCC requirements.
