Due to a wake of sexual allegations against Bill Cosby. Here in Mobile, AL; The Cosby Show was replaced with "Gimme a Break" (Another NBC sitcom) in the 8:30 AM CT on WFNA (CW Affiliate).

So tell me, if any of your location station used to air "The Cosby Show", which show they'ee showing in a timeslot where The Cosby Show used to be and what station?

City, State - Local station - Timeslot - Program replaced The Cosby Show.

Mobile, AL - WFNA (CW 55) - 8:30am - Gimme a Break

"The Cosby Show" hasn't been seen here locally in Los Angeles for several years now...last time it appeared on TV here was a couple one-off episodes during one of KTLA's classic TV marathons years ago.

It had a lengthy run in syndication on KCOP; in the early 2000s, they dropped the reruns to KDOC, then returned to KCOP a few years later (running in a mid-afternoon weekday slot), and then KTLA got the "Cosby Show" reruns not long after, but KTLA has shown the show only sporadically since then.
 
Remember, this thread is related to the wake of Cosby's sexual allegations and last year when The Cosby Show was replaced from syndicated television (not counting TV Land and Centric) while Hulu Plus still have all episodes.

The last time The Cosby Show syndicated in Mobile, AL was in 2015 due a large amount of woman accusing Bill Cosby and then they have to replace it with "Gimme a Break" which originally aired on the same network as The Cosby Show.
 
I'm not sure Cosby was shown here in Phoenix but I never watched it anyway - either its first run release or any syndication. I never thought his comedy records were very impressive either (and that was back in college when almost everyone else went daffy about him).
 
WRAZ/FOX50 aired the show sporadically, mainly during lengthy rain delays during NASCAR or baseball... however it did see a regular timeslot after the 10p news on Saturday which has been replaced by Coach reruns.

The program ("Gimme a Break") recently got a new timeslot at WFNA-TV: 7:30 a.m. (Central time)

(note: it was usually set to be broadcast from Monday through Friday in both its former timeslot and its current timeslot)
