What Competes at 2PM for CBS's The Talk

MarcB

I was just curious. What competes against CBS's The Talk in your market. Here's what's airing in the Hartford-New Haven Market at 2PM against The Talk. (WFSB/3 Merideth):

NBC: Real Housewives (WVIT/30 NBC O&O)

ABC: One Life to Live (WTNH/8 LIN Media)

FOX: Swift Justice with Nancy Grace x 2 (WTIC/61 CT 1 Media d/b/a Tribune)

CW: Maury (WCCT-TV/20 CT 1 Media d/b/a Tribune)

My Network TV: Divorce Court/Judge Alex (WCTX/59 LIN Media)
 
In Los Angeles "The Talk" runs at 1PM and is up against

KNBC: Days of Our Lives
KTAL: local news
KABC: One Life to Live
KCAL: People's Court
KTTV: The Dr. Oz Show
KCOP: I Love Lucy

IMHO running against two soaps is pretty risky as they're taking the same demos. OK, time for this unemployed boy to get back to the news (sans Huey). ;)
 
In Philadelphia, here's what's on against "The Talk" on CBS(KYW/3):

NBC: Nate Berkus(WCAU/10)

ABC: One Life to Live(WPVI/6)

Fox: Swift Justice with Nancy Grace(2 shows)(WTXF/29)

CW: The People's Court(WPSG/57: CBS-Owned)

MyNetworkTV: Steve Wilkos(WPHL/17: Tribune)
 
In Bufalo NY:

ABC: One life to live

NBC: Rachael Ray

FOX: Judge Mathis

WNLO (CW?) : Don't forget the Lyrics
WNYO (MyTV?): Judge Jeanine Pirro

I'm actually on the Canadian side, giving American listings as they appear on the digital box here in Ontario, Canada.
I havn't watched CW or Mytv in a while, so I honestly forget between WNLO and WNYO which is CW and Which is MyTV.
(they're listed one after the other on the digital box guide)

IF a network must compete head on with the talk, it looks like NBC has the right idea.
Outside of that, perhaps the other choices are still smart, as it offers choice for people who do not want talk shows.
 
Daytime is interesting right now what with Oprah coming to an end. The soaps are obviously becoming less relevant, yet the remaining shows are doing decently. Game shows are rare, yet Price is Right continues to do well. The Judge shows are over exposed IMO, but I guess there is an audience. Perhaps the next genre of daytime has yet to be revealed. I wouldn't be surprised by anything.
