2020-2021 Daytime/Syndication Schedule Thread

[aaron sica]

It just hits me that I don't think my NBC affiliate (WBAL 11) has carried a syndicated game show since Hollywood Squares ended in 2004, but I'm not entirely sure.

I think for a little bit sometime this past decade, WBAL aired WWBTAM at 12:30pm, but I could be wrong.

FYSA is weird. I know it's basically all reruns right now, but the episodes at 7:30pm and then 2:07am the following morning all appear to be sequential. The one at 1:05am Monday (a time which apparently shift wherever) is a few episode numbers behind what's at 7:30pm, so I assume it's a "rerun."

I agree strongly with this statement:  the Deadline article announcing its first two-year renewal (through 2021) indicated that it would have 520 episodes, or 130 per year.  Season 1 did have 130, but Season 2 only aired 60 originals and Season 3 had 48 by my count.  I think its thoroughly bizarre to have up to 12 runs a week on a station for three years and only have 238 episodes to choose from.  It's not like this is a popular sitcom like Seinfeld or Friends.

Philadelphia has a few minor updates:

25 Words or Less - (WTXF, Fox 29) - 1pm and 1:30pm
(Upgrade from 12:30pm / 2:30am)

Let's Make a Deal (KYW) - 10am
The Price is Right (KYW) - 11am

Jeopardy (WPVI, 6ABC) - 7pm
Wheel of Fortune (WPVI, 6ABC) - 7:30pm
(Jeopardy never airs a weekend run and WOF does occasionally.)

The Classh-Room (WTXF, Fox 29) - 12pm
Locally-produced schools quiz, stripped weekdays.  Produced ~250 eps over two years and stopped because of COVID.  Still rerunning, but I don't suspect it will be new anytime soon unless they take it remotely in 25WOL style.

Family Feud (WPSG, CW) - 6pm-8pm, 4x strip
Various spots on weekends, usually during access

Funny You Should Ask (WPSG, CW) - 8am, 8:30am
Sometimes a double run on the weekends; standard spot is 8-9am Sundays

WWTBAM (WPSG, CW) - Airing 5x week, all on weekends
Standard times appear to be Sat. 6:30pm, overnight Sat/Sun 3am, 3:30am, 5am, Sun 6:30pm

I was curious about Louisville, and this is the strangest scheduling move I've seen in a while; WLKY-32 (CBS) will air 25 Words or Less at 1 PM, but on Tuesdays-Fridays only, pre-empting Mondays with their third airing of "Matter Of Fact With Soledad O'Brien."   (They also delay Y&R to 4 PM weekdays in favor of this and a noon newshour.)

They have an airing at 2:07 AM early Saturday as well, but that's the second episode of the Friday block and not the missed Monday ep.

Nothing else is terribly weird:
Deal and Price - 10/11 AM, WLKY
Wheel and Jeopardy!, 7-8 PM, WLKY
Family Feud - 4 & 4:30 PM, WBKI-58 (CW)
Funny You Should Ask - 7:30 PM, WBKI-58.3 (MyNet)

Also curious: WAVE-3 (NBC) has not a single shred of weekday syndicated programming. It's all local news/talk outside of the network shows.

The weekend runs of FYSA are reruns, usually of episodes aired a few weeks earlier in the normal runs.

While I'm here I might as well toss in a few markets here.

Boston
LMAD: WBZ 10:00 AM
TPiR: WBZ 11:00 AM
Wheel/J!: WBZ 7:00/7:30 PM (2:05/2:35 AM Fridays during Patriots season)

25WoL: WCVB 12:30 PM

Feud: WHDH 8:00/8:30 PM (new episodes), 3:00/3:30 PM (reruns)
FYSA: WHDH 2:00/2:30 PM

Millionaire Reruns: WFXT has the rights but is airing it as filler.

Hartford/New Haven
LMAD: WFSB 10:00 AM
TPiR: WFSB 11:00 AM

J!/Wheel: WTNH 7:00/7:30 PM

25WoL: WCCT 4:00/4:30 AM(!)

FYSA: WCTX 1:00/1:30 AM

Albany
LMAD: WRGB 10:00 AM
TPIR: WRGB 11:00 AM
Feud: "New" episodes split between WRGB (7:30 PM) and WCWN (5:00 PM). Reruns but on WCWN at 5:30 PM and...6:00 AM(!)

Wheel/J!: WTEN 7:00/7:30 PM
Daytime J!: WXXA 6:30 PM

25WoL: WNYT 12:30 PM, WNYA 12:30 AM
FYSA: WNYA 7:00/7:30 AM (WNYT airs the weekend reruns post-SNL Saturday/early Sunday)

Also curious: WAVE-3 (NBC) has not a single shred of weekday syndicated programming. It's all local news/talk outside of the network shows.

I honestly thought you were joking.  You aren't.  From 11am until 8pm, the station is programmed with Days (1pm), the NBC newscast (6:30pm), and is otherwise entirely locally produced.  Mostly newscasts (entirely so from 3pm onward), with a paid sales magazine and more info driven magazine show rounding it out. 

Holy hell.

Also it's wild to see Feud relegated to WBKI; the CW affiliate has been an afterthought in the city for years, and at least as of when I left Louisville (summer 2018) Feud still did incredibly well so I'm shocked to see it not on another higher profile affil.

Now that you mention it, that's correct. Around 2013 or so before they dropped it and the market was left without any Millionaire for a couple of years until WMAR picked it up for its final couple of seasons.

That also reminded me that since WBAL is the current home for Maryland lottery drawings, they also carried Monopoly Millionaires Club at 12:30am late Sunday/early Monday, IIRC.

I forgot it's September, and therefore time to check the future listings (obligatory "2020 is weird" comment). Anyway, with the exception of America Says reruns leaving soon, no changes in Norfolk/Virginia Beach.

LMAD: 9 am, WTKR
Funny You Should Ask: 10 am, WTVZ
America Said: 10:30 am, WTVZ
TPiR, 11 am, WTKR
25 Words..., 11 am-noon, WTVZ
Wheel/Jeopardy!, 7-8 pm, WVEC
Feud, 7-8 pm, WTVZ

WTVZ made a few changes this week. 25 Words now airs from 9:30-10:30 am; a Feud rerun at 10:30 replaces the America Says rerun.

Meanwhile, WTVZ moved Funny You Should Ask to overnights, 3-4 am. I'm honestly surprised it held such a cushy mid-morning slot for three years.

Everything else appears the same.

Tampa, FL is as follows:

7-8 AM: WWTBAM reruns on WTOG
9:30: Jeopardy! reruns on WTSP
10: LMAD on WTSP
11:TPIR on WTSP
7-8PM: Family Feud on WTTA
7-8PM Wheel/Jeopardy! on WTSP
Midnight-1 AM: Family Feud repeats on WTTA
Midnight: Common Knowledge on WTVT
1 AM: Funny You Should Ask on WTTA
2:30 AM: 25 Words or Less on WTVT (this show got demoted in a LOT of markets)

Holy hell.

This seems like an all-in play for political dollars. I would not be shocked to see this schedule get updated the week of November 9 or shortly after. That is a lot of content to crank out.

[polo23]

Some additional items to add here are that CW+ is running Millionaire reruns 6-7am starting September 28th. Also, the earliest Jeopardy airs in the US is now 12Noon EST. The Montgomery AL affiliate that aired it at 9:30am CST moved it to 4:30pm CST.

[MikeK]

WTOK in Meridian, MS airs Jeopardy at 11 AM local time.

I just looked at the schedule...it almost seems like, if they weren't an NBC station they would be all news, all the time. Sheesh.

Back to add that WSKY-4 added Millionaire reruns to its lineup, weeknights from 6-7.
