Rockford: WREX has 5th Grader; exact air time is (AFAIK) not decided just yet. Other clearances remain; namely, WREX has every syndie but Feud, which is on WTVO, and of course, WIFR has Price.

Lansing, MI market:

3:30 AM - Deal or No Deal (last season) - WILX (10)
11:00 AM - The Price is Right - WLNS (6)
3:00 PM - Let's Make a Deal - WLNS (6)
4:00/4:30 PM - Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? - WSYM (47)
5:00/5:30 PM - Familiy Feud - WHTV(18) (starting this schedule on 9/21, until then 5:00/6:00)
5:30 PM - Deal or No Deal - WILX (10)
7:00 PM - Wheel of Fortune - WILX (10)
7:30 PM - Jeopardy! - WILX (10)
7:30 PM - WWTBAM - WLAJ (53)

Also, WILX still can't air syndicated programs in HD, they said maybe next year they'll be able to get the equipment, but the economy isn't helping them.

For the central PA folk, looks like WPMT (Fox 43) gets 5th Grader...don't know what time yet.

Any of the other old standbys changing times/stations around here?

[Chief-O]

Addition to my post---WGBA's also picked up Feud [from sister station WACY]. It'll air at 2P, and I believe it'll be a double run.

In Flint-Saginaw-Bay City, it looks like Let's Make A Deal will be airing on My-5 at 10:00am. WNEM TV-5 will be airing The Martha Stewart Show at 10:00am, Starting next month.

What is it with WNEM and not airing CBS's line-up? First they passed on Guiding Light, now this. I'm surprised stations get this much leeway.

The only "big" change in my area is the Millionaire/Jeopardy block and Ellen's talk show swapping time slots. (Block from 3:00-4:00 and Ellen from 4:00-5:00)

All I know, as far as the Cincinnati market is concerned, is that AYSTA5G? will be on WXIX (Ch. 19 - Fox) at 5:30 p.m.

Blame it on the out of touch WNEM programming director who ran out the younger one. They are clueless on what viewers really want. The lineup on WNEM is full of aging shows and My-5 has just a cluster of programming that other stations don't want. Putting Martha at 10 is a dumb move. If they were really smart, they'd move the aging Dr. Phil to 10 and air Let's Make A Deal at 3 like the rest of the nation. Terrible decisions like that will hurt them. WEYI knows it which is why they have The Doctors and Ellen in the afternoon. WSMH was smart in picking up Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader. Otherwise, it would be on My-5 at 11 during The Price Is Right like Trivial Pursuit was. Good to know they're at least airing Let's Make A Deal and not running paid programming like they did with Jeopardy at 12:30.

South Bend, IN: WSJV will carry 5th Grader at 4PM.  I would assume it's a double run, leading into a repeat of that day's Dr. Oz.  I'd assume Wheel/J!/Millionaire won't move.

[polo23]

For Detroit, Dr. Oz is airing at 3pm Monday-Friday on WDIV. Any word on where Deal or No Deal and Millionaire may air on WDIV?

Looking at their official site, they have new episodes of Millionaire at 3:30, but an infomercial at 3:00 where DOND used to be.

The beginnings of what might be happening on WDCA-20 in Washington are starting to come out.

As of Mon Sep 7, they are splitting the double-runs of Feud and DoND, running one of each at 9 a.m. and one of each again at 2 p.m. -- it's double Deal at 9 and double Feud at 2 right now.

They're still running a double-run of TP:AP at 10 a.m., although my hunch is that this is where one (or both) slots of AYSTa5G will wind up.

There's no reason to believe there will be any changes on WJLA-7, the ABC affiliate, with WWTBAM at 12:30, Wheel at 7 and J! at 7:30.
