"The View" to move to Syndication
- Thread starter ssetta
- Start date
The article only says that ABC is considering moving The View to Syndication. It's not official that it's going to syndication yet. I have read on another site that many ABC affiliates are against The View going to Syndication. That's because they would have to bid on the show instead of getting the show from ABC like they do now. I could care less as I'm not the type of person who would watch that show regularly. I don't know what WLS-TV would do with their 9am slot, as that's the time slot they air Oprah, along with the 11:05pm time slot for the re-broadcast of Oprah (instead of Jimmy Kimmel, like other ABC stations do).
I don't watch "The View" and in fact, I actually watched it for the first time yesterday during a commercial break of "The Price is Right," and was wondering, is "The View" broadcast live, or is it "taped" a day or couple hours before?

Many ABC owned stations will have a hole in their daytime lineup after Oprah leaves. WABC, WPVI and WTVD could move Rachael Ray to Oprah's old slot, launch something new, do news, or move The View to 4. If the latter is done, the show is now longer aired live in New York.
If it goes syndicated, Disney would likely have to reduce using it as a plug for its stuff like 'All My Children' or Disney World. If syndicated, I'd think Disney would offer all ABC stations the show the equivalent of a right of first refusal to keep it initially. However, in the long run, Disney-ABC Domestic Television (formerly Buena Vista) may be able to make more money if stations were bidding for this show, if the show stays on top, and the show transfers to the top stations. So, say in Baltimore, where WBAL 11 (NBC) is a stronger station than WMAR 2 (ABC), and WBAL has Oprah rights, Disney may want the stronger station WBAL to pick up the show, but WMAR should have the right to keep it, atleast for a number of years. WBAL would most likely just move Ellen to 4.
It would also give markets without real ABC stations, like Monterey CA, a clearance for the show.

Depending on how much longer local WGN carries Regis & Kelly (let alone Regis still hosting in 2012), Disney-ABC surely could shift that show back to WLS. Either that, or they could put Millionaire on WLS at 9am.

It would be interesting to see if WLS-TV were to actually carry Live with Regis & Kelly in the morning. Whenever WLS-TV did carry the program (under Live with Regis & Kathie Lee), they refused to move another program in the morning or afternoon to carry this program. Instead, Live was on in the overnight hours. From my understanding, WLS-TV is the only ABC O&O that hasn't been willing to carry Live with Regis & Kelly (also Live with Regis & Kathie Lee) in the morning or afternoon. For the daytime hours, I remember WBBM-TV & WGN-TV (current station carrying it) have carried it in the morning. For now, they're not moving any of their programming from 9am - 4pm, as it does well for them in the ratings. That includes the following schedule Monday - Friday:
9am: Oprah (since 1986, and before that, was AM Chicago)
10am: The View
11am: ABC7 News
12pm: All My Children
1pm: One Live To Live
2pm: General Hospital
3
m Inside Edition3:30pm Jeopardy (same timeslot since 1984, when it came back on in syndication)
4-6:30pm also won't change as that's all news, including the 5:30pm - 6pm timeslot for ABC Nightly News. They're not giving up the 6:30 timeslot either, as Wheel of Fortune has done well in that timeslot since 1984 (when the syndicated version went on the air).
Now I don't know if Who Wants To Be A Millionaire would move to WLS-TV or not. I'm not aware of a network version on the air right now. Also, unless the syndicator of the program thinks WLS-TV would be the stronger station to carry the program, don't look for WGN-TV to drop it. WGN-TV may have to look for other programming for their 3-5pm time slots, should they decide not to air The Best of Tyra this fall.
This has been talked about for several weeks. Last I heard it was ABC primarily interested in figuring out if they could create an afternoon version of the View to fill the Oprah slot on many affiliates. The affiliates made it clear they do not want the morning version to move or go to syndication. If ABC is going to do anything, it will create another version of the View for the afternoon. That's it.
