MGM? I thought Warner Bros. was already handling this one.


 


Still, it\'s a show I like, so it will be good to be able to see it on TV in Boston.

There were earlier reports suggesting that Scripps was looking at a national rollout for LAA after two seasons in limited syndication.

It\'s already airing here in Boise, I believe we\'re the first non-Scripps market to air it.

No, it\'s been airing here in Milwaukee, too, since this season, it seems.

I Hope this show is coming to San Francisco and I Hope KTVU or KOFY will carry it!

Good to see it\'s still picking up steam. So with the Craig Ferguson show for Fremantle, a possible six shows are on the radar for 2014?

I\'m kinda curious who\'s gonna pick it up in New York, if anybody does.


Have a strange feeling it\'ll end up on channel 11 in late night, like Baggage was.

The article mentions a viral video show, Right This Minute, which would air daily. I actually caught that locally, but on a Sunday afternoon. Interesting to see how they\'d do it as a daily show.


 


Are there any markets airing Let\'s Ask America outside of the 7-8 pm hour?


 


/6-7 pm central and mountain

\"RightThisMinute\" has been airing daily since fall 2011, starting in limited markets and expanding enough to be regularly measured by Nielsen earlier this year.  Some markets carry a weekly version.

We got RTM as a double-pumped daily; it really wasn\'t as interesting as you\'d think. Apparently there are enough cat videos out there to fill up five hours a week of programming. Who knew.

That\'s what I figured...I watched it in a restaurant so I couldn\'t hear, but it basically looked like a panel discussing what\'s hot on Youtube. There\'s enough of those shows out, but I guess strike while the iron is warm and all.

Exactly what it is. Pretentious twentysomethings pretending that what they\'re presenting is important in any way, shape, or form.

To that end I\'d rather watch Tom Bergeron do that anyway.
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

Exactly. At least he *knows* it\'s not important. Plus, nutshots.
