What the Muck? TPIR on at 9AM?

[quote name=\'beag\' date=\'Aug 4 2004, 06:14 PM\']As a viewer who receives WCBS-the station did air "Price" at 9AM as "Price" was prempted for the Statue of Liberty Special unveiling which began at 11AM . The show that aired was last Friday's episode which the station obviously recorded for the later playback .
The poor performing and insignificant "Ali & Jack" was dropped so "Price" could air.
As I believe many of the tech people that work on "Ali & Jack" are also employed by WCBS who were probably working the Statue Of Liberty ceremony.[/quote]
As if it really matters--"Living It Up!"'s been out of production since May.  No conflict there.

11? It airs at 10 where I am, and always has. [/quote]
It used to be on at 3pm. [/quote]
For a short time not long ago, KCBS in LA actually did air the show at 3pm..

Over the course of its life, TPiR has been on (all times EST) at 10:30am, 3pm, and (for a full hour), 10am, 10:30am, and 11am. [/quote]
 For quite some time KGAN-Cedar Rapids didn't air the show at all, or buried it in an unknown time slot (this was before the internet)....then for a time they aired it at 2:00 CST....I believe they showed "Maury" at 10.

We've had it at 10 since the late 70s, whether it was KDFW (now Fox) 4 or KTVT.

 I think I've told this story before, but since our audience changes every 20 minutes (sorry, stole that from a former radio program director I once knew), it bears repeating.

In 1982, when CBS-owned WBBM wrested the broadcast rights to DONAHUE away from WGN, the decision was made to air the program at 9AM CT, displacing CBS' shows in that slot.  Instead of doing something sensible like keeping TPiR at 10AM and moving whatever shows were on at 9AM to 3PM, the decision was made to move CBS' 9AM and 9:30 shows to 10AM and 10:30 (and delay them by a day) and move TPiR to 3PM (also delaying it by a day).  Not sure why they felt they had to go to the one-day delay (I'm pretty sure they could've stayed on a same-day schedule, unless I'm missing something completely obvious).  This lasted until 1986.
