In New York, "5th Grader" will air on WPIX-TV at 5 p.m. Not sure if it's a double run.

In Flint-Saginaw-Bay City, 5th Grader airs at 5 pm on WSMH (FOX-66), followed by Deal or No Deal at 5:30. (The newly-syndicated The Office is at 6:30!)
Also, the tentative scheduling for Let's Make a Deal is for it to run on WNEM-DT2 (My5) at 10am. I'm hoping that they'll switch and move it to the main CBS or maybe even run it overnight, but no word on any other scheduling plans.

Is there a site to find your affiliate for Fifth Grader, or do you e-mail/phone the affiliates to find out?

My FOX affiliate WRLH will air "5th Grader" this fall; no specific time has been given yet.

5th Grader's gonna be on WPHL in Philadelphia weeknights. Time TBA.

According to these three posts at the Sitcoms Online board, there are some pretty big syndie changes here in Portland:

•KGW 8 (NBC) will air Jeopardy at 6:30 PM and WoF at 7:30 PM, moving from their longtime 7-8 PM home at KATU. Hopefully, I'll finally be able to watch them in HD!
•KATU 2 (ABC) will air WWTBAM at 3:30 PM (2nd run) and 7:00 PM (1st run), and 5th Grader will air at 3:00 PM (2nd run) and 7:30 PM (1st run)
•KPTV 12 (FOX) will air a single run of DoND at 7:00 PM.

The schedules for KOIN 6 (CBS) and KPDX 49 (MyNetworkTV) haven't been posted yet, but I'm guessing that Feud will stay at its current single run 9:00 AM slot on KOIN.

Just saw a commercial. In Salt Lake City, "Fifth Grader" will be airing at 5 PM on KJZZ 14 starting Sept. 21st.

Be grateful that Marie Osmond's show didn't get picked up. The Flint-Saginaw-Bay City's WNEM's MY5 channel was not going to air the new CBS game show hour and use it for that talk show or other programming instead.

That's music to my ears. Hopefully, it won't compete against WoF(maybe J!, I'm not really that much into that show once David Madden left the show a few years ago). If I miss its initial airing, CMT will bail me out, I hope.

WTKR will air LMaD at 3, replacing Guiding Light. They will not air D/ND for season two; unsure on where it's going.

A friend of mine who works for WTVZ said they're supposed to get a game show this fall (my guess is 5th Grader). I'm also guessing it's taking the noon slot held by TP:AP and Temptation before that. With both shows going to MNTV in primetime, I'm guessing that both shows might actually go to WTVZ as daytime counterparts. Just off speculation, but I'm almost positive one of those two will end up there.

Heh. None of the above own in my area...and they don't like to follow patterns either (the last few syndie offerings that were purchased by conglomerates with affiliates here did not place them here).

I can confirm something: Family Feud probably won't hold the same timeslot on WBND for more than six weeks at a time. It's been double at 9, double at 10, double at 12, single at 10:30, single at 9:30...just in the last eight months.

WRLH? So that means you live in Richmond?

MIMediaBlitz reports WJBK will air 5th Grader after Wendy Williams.

Chief-O · « **Reply #14 on:** August 11, 2009, 10:57:57 AM »

WGBA will be airing "5th Grader" at 3PM. They'll still air "Deal", but it looks like it will be a double run [4 to 5P]. No word on Wheel, J!, or Millionaire, but I'd think they'd be staying put.
