Syndicated offerings of 2017--where are they headed?

Pickler and Ben will not be seen in Yakima/Tri-Cities or ANY Washington market. Portland is a no-show. Nearest affiliate is KOHD Bend. No affiliate in NY or LA either. Bet $50 it's CANCELLED by winter-spring 2018.

No Memphis station listed, but it will be on in Nashville (a Scripps market).
 
Here In Fargo, Daily Mail TV will air on KVRR at 6am and as mentioned CW+ (KXJB-30-2) Will air Page Six at 9pm which replaces a newscast (1 of 3 at that timeslot) which in a market the size of Fargo is overkill
 
It looks as if perhaps The Goldbergs will be replacing Two And A Half Men in the early prime 7-8pm slot on the larger Tribune stations, and the latter moving into a late night slot. A Behind The Scenes Goldbergs special is airing at various times over Labor Day weekend on Tribune stations.
 
Interesting! 'Men' has been on KTLA Los Angeles at 7-8pm for several years as I recall. It used to be a double run on KCYU, then went down to single-run at 11:35pm last year when 2 Broke Girls went into syndication. Now Two and a Half Men airs at 4PM.
In other news, as Dr. Oz takes over the 4pm slot on KAPP, RightThisMinute moves to 12:37-1:37AM. Maybe this is temporary until another station takes it. They could have moved it to 11-noon, but they aren't budging that infomercial and The Middle rerun that air in that hour.
ALSO...it looks like 'Cops Reloaded' is done in syndication. Older Fox 'Cops' reruns take over on Labor Day, without any 'reloaded' tweaking.
Only thing I know about Couples Court is KCDO/3 Denver CO will air it come 9/18. Unknown about Yakima/Tri-Cities.

Saw the fall sked of the CW station in the market where I used to work, and "The Middle" is gone (as is "Friends" and "Hot in Cleveland"). Are they all out of syndication in September?
 
I told ya Friends would be leaving!! It's run its course, years ago plenty of Fox/WB/UPN's aired Friends reruns in prime access. Now with 20 reruns a day on TBS and most OTA affiliates dumping it to late night or even graveyard, not worth it anymore. A great syndication run concludes for a great sitcom. OTOH, Seinfeld is here to stay for at least a few more years in syndication. Hot in Cleveland did very poor in the syndication ratings, in fact KCYU ran them at 12:35AM and 6:30AM, and had never given them an afternoon/early evening slot.
The Middle, while STILL in production, also has done poorly in syndication compared to ABC's other sitcom giant, Modern Family. The stations tried to run it in prime access and good hours early on but the ratings didn't catch on. A lot of stations dumped it to overnight, some even past 2AM. On the weekend drama side, Grey's Anatomy had the same poor result in syndication while ABC still keeps renewing it on Thursdays.
 
Nothing confirmed yet from KTLA, (except the preview special on Sunday, Sept. 3) but now it looks as if they will be airing the Goldbergs either late or overnight because....KDOC posted a new set of promos on their Facebook page touting the fact that said sitcom will air in primetime from 9-10pm weeknights.
 
Friends has been on late for many years since 2012 or 13 it comes on at 1:30AM on Fox17 which aired on Fox17 for 11 years since June of 2006 before that it was on WoodTV for 8 years at 7:30PM when it first was in off-network in 2002 Friends was also on WXSP at 10PM. I overheard someone talking at an FYE in Jan of 08 saying how he missed Friends airing at 10PM and didn't like that WXSP had 24 hour News 8 at 10PM I didn't say anything that it moved to Fox17.
 
Page Six Tv and Top30 are coming to Fox9+ (formerly My29 WFTC Minneapolis) per an article

"Also this fall, Fox 9+ will premiere new programming, including first-run series “Page Six TV” and “Top 30.”
 
So Two and a Half Men stays at 7PM this September in LA?
 
Doesn't say what WGCL is filling the 3 PM spot with. Unless it's the infomercials that aired at 1 PM.
Ol' dummy here needs to learn to read more closely. WGCL fills the 3 PM time with Crime Watch Daily.
 
A few updates this Wednesday 8/30...
With KIMA running 'Funny You Should Ask' at noon, they are moving Celebrity Name Game to 1:37am until the reruns end, which I suppose will be either 9/15 or 9/22.
The James Brown Show is new to weekends, it airs at 4PM Sundays on KAPP/KVEW starting 9/10. This replaces Tim McCarver I think. James Brown is well known for his CBS NFL anchoring. But TV Guide still not listing the Insider's replacement at 7:30pm weeknights. Last show is 9/8! Suspect Access Hollywood, or maybe KAPP will air an hour of news at 6-7pm and throw Extra at 7:30. KAPP *used* to do the 'Local News Hour' at 5PM for a few years in the late '90s.
The Game reruns replace Hot in Cleveland at 12:35am/6:30am on KCYU/KFFX starting 9/12/17. I guess Mom will start the following week, probably replacing one run of 2 Broke Girls and the 12:05 Friends. KCYU had an ad way back in May!
Looks like Dish Nation is gone from CW Plus. Not sure if it was cancelled, or what.

In Seattle...
KOMO still keeping The Doctors at 1:07AM. I hope one of the other stations takes The Doctors at a better time in the near-future. Maybe KONG.
KIRO decreasing Millionaire to one run at 2:30PM on 9/11, with the new 'Steve' talk show (updated, revamped Steve Harvey) at 3PM. Finally, his show didn't deserve to be at 3AM. The other Millionaire is pushed to 1:37am.
I can't find Funny You Should Ask in Seattle. Not cleared?
 
Some updates for the Cedar Rapids/Waterloo market

KGAN appears to have no major changes.

KCRG is running a promo to announce the new times for the afternoon programs. Starting 9/11, Harry will move from 4PM to 2PM, Rachel Ray moves from 2PM to 3PM and Dr. Oz moves from 3PM to 4PM. The Insider is either being replaced by an infomercial at 12:07AM or programming to be determined. KCRG 9.2 (MNT) has picked up Corrupt Crimes from KWKB and will pair it with Killer Mysteries in the 10AM hour. The Goldbergs will have a double run in the 5pm hour while Hot in Cleveland has been dropped.

KWWL is keeping the same schedule on their main channel, at least up to 9/12. Steve Harvey's relaunched show will continue to air at 2PM, but the reairing on CW 7.2 will move from 5PM to 9PM. While other shows are being moved around on 72, they are adding sitcoms. Seinfeld has been picked up from KFXA and will air in the 6PM hour with MOM being added on 9/18 possibly in the 11PM hour. They have picked up Top 30 which will air at midnight.

As mentioned previously in another post, KFXA will air Daily Mail TV and Page Six TV in the 4 o'clock hour to replace Celebrity Name Game. The other changes will be late nights. Funny You Should Ask will air at 11PM while Impractical Jokers will air at 1AM. In addition to Seinfeld (moving to KWWL 7.2), The Middle and The Cleveland Show are gone, both shows has been buried really late in the night as the contractural obligations were being fulfilled. It is interesting how Modern Family and The Middle debuted in syndication the same year and while Modern Family has been a syndie success, reruns of The Middle have struggled in pretty much every market even though it does well enough on ABC to still be in production.
