Well, that wasn't a smart move with Wheel and J! starting new shows on 9/8 also. [/quote]
This is old news, and besides, Wheel and J! also moved THEIR premieres one week later than usual. Maybe it's a King World thing, not a bad programming strategy.[/quote]
Especially considering that by starting a new season the week after Labor Day, there aren't any Jerry Lewis telethon or U.S. Open tennis pre-emptions to worry about (or in the case of ABC, a golf tournament this year on Labor Day that pre-empted \"J!\" in Chicago and other ABC affils that air the show in fringe). It's even more in \"H2\"'s favor, since it's in far fewer access slots than its sister shows (both the tennis and Jerry end in time for access on Labor Day, barring sports pre-emptions for Jerry that delay the telethon a few hours).
