The only thing I can think of is that WVIT is trying this out as a summer replacement to see if it holds before they pick it up in the fall. I can't see how this show is an upgrade over Harry.I know that production has ended of the Harry Connick Jr show, but is it still being fed to stations? The reason I ask is because here in Hartford NBC 30 the NBC O&O replaced it with Pickler and Ben in the 1PM-2PM time slot. Prior to the change, Pickler and Ben wasn't cleared in Hartford.
