Title: Cash Cab
Post by: cool245 on December 17, 2010, 10:55:49 PM

Looks like Cash Cab will be getting a mid season syndication run. WFMZ in Allentown, Pa is airing commercials with a debut on January 10 at 3 & 3:30pm. I'm surprised because I thought the show didn't get enough clearance for a syndication run this year.

I've been watching Cash Cab quite frequently lately, and to be honest, I quite enjoy it.  Maybe it's a novelty factor, but I haven't grown tired of it yet.

Anyone else?

our CW affiliate will have it at 4:30 p.m. (following 5th Grader and replacing Lyrics) and 11 p.m. (before the rescheduled Lyrics). No, I haven't gotten tired of it either. Used to watch getting ready for work.

They must have gotten full coast-to-coast clearance, because during Around the Horn just a couple minutes ago there was a promo for syndie Cash Cab.

Glad to see we'll get it on WSKY...unfortunately I can't get that channel since their contract expired with DirecTV two years ago. It seems neither is in a rush to negotiate. :-P

Maybe this is just me, but I would've preferred they didn't sort their list in order of market ranking.

Interesting. In my market, it's on WGCB, the independent family station, so unfortunately it won't be seen too often. I'm surprised one of our other stations didn't pick it up.

The affiliate for "DC", WJAL in Hagerstown, isn't available to the majority of the market in terms of population or geography save for those with Dish. Talk about a bad clearance.

Could have been a local insert ad done via the cable company.

Cleveland's affiliate is in Mansfield, which is closer to Columbus (an hour away) than it is to Cleveland (90 mins.) and, as far as I know, is not available in most of the greater Cleveland area.
