Will Family Guy stay on Cartoon Network/Adult Swim?

K

KS-IL-IA

I see that "Family Guy" is going to stay on TBS, in a couple of four-in-a-row nightly showings this fall. Will it remain on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim?

Also, I'm surprised how many stations are running the syndicated reruns in early access rather than late night. Anybody know when it's airing in your respective markets?

Is there a website to figure out what syndicated shows will be airing on one's local stations this fall? I've yet to see any; in the past, you could go to specially-launched websites for the TV series that were syndicated and said sites had a Station Locator. That seems not to be the case anymore.
 
And what's going to happen on the local Atlanta station WPCH when it breaks off completely from the national TBS in October?
 
Family Guy will be aired on, at the very least, the Tribune stations (WPIX, KTLA and the like).

Man, I wish there were one clearing house for all the syndie shows. I already checked FamilyGuy.com, and there's no station finder there. I do know that www.jurydutytv.com and www.judgedavidyoung.com have station finders, and www.mandjshow.com has the stations "The Morning Show With Mike and Juliet" is currently on, before it rolls out nationally.
 
Beginning in September Family Guy will air on TBS - Monday (9-11pm), Tuesday (8-10pm), Wednesday (10-11pm). Add syndication on local stations and Adult Swim... and that's a LOT of Family Guy.

It has been announced that WPCH will carry "Family Guy".

Don't forget first run FG on fox too.
 
So they'll be first run on WAGA and syndicated on WPCH in Atlanta? I think it'll air on WTIC-TV (FOX) channel 61 of Hartford here. They are owned by Tribune and they've already aired "South Park" in syndication, so why not? :)
 
In my hometown of Chicago, WGN will have them (local, not the Superstation since TBS has the rights). Where I live now (Wichita, Kansas), it will be on KMTW (My TV Wichita) weeknights at 10 and 10:30. First runs will be on KSAS (Fox Kansas, My TV Wichita's sister) Sundays at 8 pm. (All times Central).
 
KTUD Vegas TV in Las Vegas will air Family Guy weekdays at 7p and 8p, Saturdays at 8p and 8:30p starting September 10th.

What market are you in? The Tribune stations, for example, had a group buy of FG. Otherwise, try checking the web site or calling your Fox, CW and My Network affiliates. A lot of them are already putting "coming this fall" teasers on their web sites.
 
You actually bring up a good point. Are there any ABC, NBC or CBS affiliates airing FG in syndication? Would be interesting to see affiliates delaying like Kimmel or Ferguson to air it.

As far as markets go, our market is fairly low on the totem pole. I'm in Savannah, Georgia.
 
I tried checking the web sites for both your Fox and CW affils, but got nada. If you're really curious, the best thing to do is just call the station and ask for the program director.

Your market's not THAT small -- mine's right behind you, according to one list I saw. I know people who worked and used to work in Savannah ... small world.
 
I do believe I saw our local CW affiliate running the syndicator-produced promo saying "Family Guy! Five nights a week!"...... followed by the local insert "Saturdays this Fall on The CW!"

Is it my understanding that Saturday now occupies 5 days of the standard calendar week now? ;D

(Not that it matters to me.... I haven't had a Saturday off since 1993.)
