Syndicated offerings of 2018--where are they headed?

Just saw a promo last night on KIMA for Pickler & Ben. This will be replacing Harry on 9/17/18, as the umpteenth show they've scheduled at 9:00am. They were not seen in the first season of course, since it was mostly Scripps stations clearing it. That trial is over and it seems to have worked. They are now getting clearances nationwide. WABC, KABC and WLS have cleared them, in Seattle, KONG-16 will air them at 3PM replacing the same-day rerun of New Day Northwest...KING's local 11AM show. Portland will NOT clear them surprisingly.

The show already had nationwide clearance. Until about two (or three) months ago the show was airing at 9AM and 2AM on the CMT cable network.

It looks like it'll be the Live Well subchannels on the ABC O&Os, instead of their main channels, and in Chicago, Picker & Ben will also air on WCIU's secondary channel (The U Too). They're also airing the show three times a day (10am, 8pm, and 4am ET/PT).
 
I see a mistake in their listings. For Duluth, MN they list KDLH but the website takes you to CBS 3 which is KBJR-DT2 (KDLH is actually the CW....use to be CBS until a couple years ago)

saw a commercial for Black-ish coming to KSTC 45 (5-2 OTA) Minneapolis on 9/17. No time listed

funny how the commercial for it here locally they just say "Coming September 17th" yet during a news article, while the news reporter spoke a Metro Transit Bus is in the background and there is a banner on the side. Says 7 & 7:30 weeknights. That would replace Rules of Engagement if it holds right now.
 
I would assume Rules of Engagement is probably gone come the 17th. It hasn't been in first-run for years and the syndi ratings are abysmal. Wasn't even THAT funny of a show, to say the least.

I've got the schedules from my current (soon to be former) market of Wichita -- Rules is still there for the fall, as is King of Queens.

Is Crime Watch Daily kaput, or just lost clearances?
 
And The King of Queens. I'm shocked that show is still in syndication. Sure, it lasted 8 or 9 years on CBS, but the ratings weren't as great as Two and a Half Men or Everybody Loves Raymond...and the latter no longer airs in syndication!
 
Here in Minneapolis we have a few that are "still hanging on" and being shown (all on same station by the way)
Seinfeld
King of Queens
Rules of Engagement
Friends
How I met your Mother
King of the Hill

They're still hanging on because there's nothing in the hopper, off-net wise, to replace them. There's one sitcom this fall, Black-ish, and what next year? Maybe Fresh off the Boat? Maybe Life in Pieces?
 
So, Judge Faith has not been renewed for 18-19? Interesting to see Live PD (the A&E show) getting a syndication spinoff. Seinfeld is like 'I Love Lucy' or 'Andy Griffith' - one of the most popular sitcoms of all time, and I'm sure it will be in syndication through the 2020s. Yadda yadda yadda!
 
Anger Management is GONE come September 4th, at least in Yakima. A second run of Mom replaces Two and a Half Men at 4PM on KCYU and pushes Charlie and Alan to 12:35am! The Game is now just one episode a day, used to be two. Mike & Molly gets a second run at 12:05. KCYU has not ran the 'Men' second run in a few years, probably due to schedule conflicts, and Thur/Fri reruns are Ashton Kutcher episodes which weren't as good.

Actually, that spin off has been Airing on A&E as Well. That show just started a year or two ago, so fastest syndication run ever?

Not sure about Judge Faith, Though. Not sure if that show's been cancelled.
 
Only thing I've seen for Minneapolis so far is Steve moves from KARE 11 (NBC) at a godawful slot (3am) to WFTC FOX 9+ (formerly My29) at 8am replacing a replay of The Real.
Only thing I know on FOX 9+ that goes bye bye is Harry

Mankato (which is only a 1 RF station 2 PSIP station market) I'm sure this isn't right. On KEYC-DT2 (FOX Mankato) they show at 5 & 10pm How I met Your Mother. They haven't had that show in a couple years. That bumps Mike and Molly (from 5pm) to 1am and the secondary showing of Modern Family (from 10pm) to Midnight. Also the replay of Phil is gone from 11pm on KEYC-DT2. They moved Daily Mail up an hour (from midnight) and "The Game" up 1/2 hour (from 1am to 12:30am). CBS is unchanged as the only syndicated shows they really carry are Kelly & Ryan, Phil, Ellen and Wheel (Jeopardy is on FOX)
(Harry is still listed...ah see its going to run until Sept 14th)

All of the above is based off TitanTV yet zap2it and tvguide dont reflect any of it

and yes they still sign off nightly :)
