Coming This Fall on Local TV?

[vjm]

On September 9, WEWS is moving their Scripps produced viral video show "Right This Minute" up to 10 a.m., running 2 back to back episodes until 11.

RTM is being rolled out nationally this year after a 2 year run of airing mostly on Scripps owned stations.

 

[vjm]

"The Cleveland Show" premieres on WJW Monday Sept 9 at 3:30a.

And they've adjusted their late night schedule as well for fall:

11p - Arsenio Hall
mid - "Big Bang Theory"
12:30 - TMZ
1 - "Seinfeld" X2
2 - 10p news replay
3 - paid
3:30 "Cleveland Show"

"Access Hollywood" moves over to WUAB on 9/9 weeknights at 11:30p

 

[vjm]

Beginning September 16, WUAB will bring in a couple of Byron Allen's "dramatized" (i.e. scripted) court shows - "America's Court" with Judge Ross, and the brand new "Supreme Justice" with Judge Karen (who is on her 3rd different court show).

[CleveFan]

My quick view on the fall line-ups: WJW has an impressive line-up. WKYC, WEWS and WBNX are pretty good too. WOIO is okay, but WUAB not so much.

 

[CleveFan]

Just saw that WUAB is going to have a double run of Steve Wilkos at Noon and 3pm starting on September 16. Maury's second run moves to 1PM and Trisha Goddard moves to 2PM. I can do without Wilkos and Povich twice a day. Same with two hours of The People's Court on WBNX.

I'd rather see sitcoms put to better use on both WJW and 43, which is really putting the comedies in unwatchable time slots. WBNX should trade in some of their shows for stuff like Seinfeld, The Simpsons, 30 Rock, Family Guy, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The King of Queens and other shows to be wasted in latenight hell.

What's also disappointing is that the stations are picking up double runs of select talk shows and court shows that are less than promising (Judge Ross, Paternity Court, Judge Karen...again!), yet have no room for Family Feud and Queen Latifah? 43 could've put those shows on. Heck, even Access Hollywood Live and/or TMZ Live.

Speaking of Queen Latifah, anyone know why NO ONE in Cleveland is picking up her show?

Some of those sitcoms WBNX won't touch due to station ownership (Can you see Ernest Angley airing programming produced by hardcore atheist/religion mocker Seth McFarlane? Or the uber risque HIMYM or "Sunny in Philly"?)

I know WBNX has lightened up somewhat since hooking up with WB/CW, but they still have certain boundaries they won't cross if they can at all help it.

Regarding Queen Latifah:

3 - stacked with old reliable talk shows and newbie "Bethanny" which has an in due to being tied in with longtime station fixture "Ellen"
5 - no room in daytime with "Kelly and Micheal", "Katie" and "Dr. Oz", plus Scripps pet project "Right This Minute", which is rolling out nationally this year
8 - with 13 hours a day of local news/talk (counting New Day Cleveland and the late news replay), WJW's doing well squeezing in what the have (fixtures Big Bang, Seinfeld, and Judge Judy; newbies Arsenio 2.0. "Cleveland Show", and "The Test", and WBNX transfer Wendy Williams)
19 - not much room with game shows, 4 p.m. news. and Raycom pet project "America Now" (which is also doing a national roll out this year)
43 - all I can say is that the Wilkos/Springer/Maury troika must be doing well for them in the ratings for them to have been the anchors in the afternoons over there as long as they have. They probably could have squeezed her in the easiest, but she doesn't fit the motif. Their late night sitcom lineup (with "2 1/2 Men" probably moving there due to "Modern Family", as well as HIMYM, "30 Rock", and "Family Guy") would match up with most My Net, CW, or (even in some cases) Fox affiliate early evening lineups.
55 - they like their courtroom block, plus they're loaded with sitcoms.

Speaking of which...55.2 is finally gonna get some programming as of 9/9 to break up the all day "90 & 9 Club" block...a double shot of Andy Griffith weekdays at 4p.

At least it's something.

I thought I heard something about 61.2 coming this fall with English language programming. If anyone has any additional details, let me know. Thanks.

Channel 61 will run GetTV, a movie channel owned by Sony. It'll be more or less similar to This TV on WBNX 55.3.

[CleveFan]

WBNX appears to still broadcast in SD. That is increasingly annoying. Hopefully, they'll change that soon in the near future.

 

[neomedia]

This annoys me a great deal as well. They have good strong syndicates programming but they do not air them in HD. The thing that I do not get about this is that it seems they ca air the shows in HD but choose not to. In the morning they air The Daily Buzz in Hd it is a syndicated show, so why are all of the shows not in HD?

 

[Yabadabado1]

Come on, do you REALLY want to see Ernest Angley in HD? As it is right now, that toupee alone could scare the fur off a cat!

 

[MediaLover]

WEWS/5 has changed their line-up again. Dr. Oz is now on at 10am and Right This Minute is now on at 4 and 4:30pm right before Live on Five. That's odd they would make that switch now, and I don't see Minute as a good lead-in for the 5pm newscast.

 

[skiwest]

Well, it looks like Barney Miller has disappeared from 8.2. Antenna replaced the 2 hour block of Barney Miller on Thursday night with Sanford & Son and All in the Family. Antenna still airs an hour of Barney Miller on Sunday night (at 10 pm now, it was 9 pm previously), but it is pre-empted in Cleveland by Big Chuck and Lil' John. I find it odd that they don't seem to be able to air Barney Miller on Sundays, but yet they were airing it on Thursdays.

Antenna TV now has a set line-up every night M-Th.

BC & LJ got moved from 8 p.m. because of Antenna TV's airings of "Bewitched". Since "Bewitched" airs very evening, it needs to air on Sunday as to not interrupt the order of episodes.

BC & LJ does very well for WJW both on 8.1 and 8.2, so there will always be a spot open for them. Just so happens "Barney Miller" is the odd man out. I highly doubt it's anti-Barney bias, merely the luck of the draw.

 

[MediaLover]

BC & LJ is the only show on 8.1 on Saturday mornings that actually has an audience for the station. Their drawing power shows how much their skits are loved in Cleveland.

I think when there's not a sporting event, WJW should schedule BC & LJ at 11:30 on Saturday nights against SNL. I think they could win the slot given how tiring SNL has become.

Does anyone know how 3, 5, 8 and 19 are doing in sweeps so far?

 

[neomedia]

The fall 2014 television season is still 7 months away. The new shows for the fall are Meredith Vieira, The Real, The Social, Judge Faith Jenkins, Justice with Judge Mabalean, Hot Bench, Celebrity Name Game, as well as repeats of Mike and Molly, Cougar Town, Anger Management, Raising Hope and Hot in Cleveland. Weekend will see Blue Bloods and The Good Wife. So far the only on announced for sure is Celebrity Name Game for WKYC 3. I would imagine that they will keep Family Feud and pair it with Celebrity Name Game. I predict that Vieira will replace Katie at 3pm on 5, Hot Bench will replace The Test at 1pm on 8, Judge Faith Jenkins will air at 1pm replacing Judge Alex on 55, and The Real will air at 1pm on 43 replacing 2nd run of Maury. Cancelled for this fall are Bethanny, and Judge Alex. I also think that Hot in Cleveland and Raising Hope will air on 8 weeknights and Blue Bloods weekends on 8. Mike and Molly and Cougar Town will air on 55 with The Good Wife on Weekends for 55. I think that Anger Management will air weeknights on 43 probably paired in the same hour with 2 1/2 men. I also think that based on ratings The Test, and Arsenio will not return in the fall. Last fall's new shows Paternity Court and Queen Latifah already have been renewed to return as well as past shows Judge Judy, Rachael Ray, The Drs., Ellen, and Wendy.
