Have all the episodes for this season been taped?
-
Apparently not. Word has it the show's on hiatus looking to tape somewhere else, maybe Atlanta.
-
I can't help but wonder about the credibility of a report that says:
production is looking into filming the show in other states such as Atlanta.
-
Yes. Production has wrapped here in CT. Likely, due to major tax credits the state offers tv and film companies, the show will stay here....assuming it gets picked up.

In Cleveland, Deal aired at 7:30 PM on WOIO. To start season 2, it was moved to WUAB at 10 AM. Recently, Deal was shifted again, now to 8 AM on WUAB. WUAB put Wendy Williams in the 10 AM slot. Wendy Freakin' Williams.
Are time slots getting worse elsewhere?
-
I think the show has run its course.

Out here in Western CO, our local CBS affil added a 6PM newscast, which regulated Millionaire to a single daily run at 11:30 AM. Meanwhile, DoND remains in the 6:30 spot with a double run somewhere on one of their sister stations.
I'm surprised that the 6:30 Deal remained, since it's competition is Entertainment Tonight and Wheel -- 2 other shows that IMHO have run their course (or at least Mary "AND I WAS THERE" Hart" should be put out to pasture) -- at least Millionaire would have some challenge and unpredictability in that time slot.
Back to the original question: Yes, Deal is starting to show it's grey hairs.

In Norfolk, it made a lateral move, from 4-5 pm on WTKR, to 4-5 pm on WTVZ.

This season, Deal was moved from a 5 PM-5:30 PM single run to an 8 AM-9 AM double run on KPDX.

Downgrade to virtual nonexistence in Austin. KEYE dropped first-run in favor of local news at 4:00 and the myNetwork reruns on KBVO (a former repeater for KXAN which is only on digital-tier cable and has virtually no over-the-air reception in the city because the transmitter is 60 miles out of the town) are subject to frequent pre-emption for Spurs and Longhorns basketball games.
/NonObCallSignHistory: The station which is now KEYE used to have the call sign KBVO.
-
The "el shifto" to 8am isn't a good sign imho. I wonder if 5th Grader caused a bump in a few of the cities, it's actually doing quite well from what I read on Buzzerblog.

Don't be hatin' on my homegirl.

I forgot to tell you in an earlier thread, but WSTR (Star 64 again) moved DOND to 3-4 pm. (Last year it was 7-8 pm - The Office took over that time slot).
I agree with you. I think it's done.
