Members Scotty Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 Here in Kentucky, the Louisville CBS affiliate airs Y&R at 4 pm eastern time, while the Lexington CBS station airs it a day behind at 10:00 am et. And Lousiville is a top 50 market. And I think it beats all its competition here, even Oprah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 I wonder what they are going to do here in Texas. Will LMAD be on at 2pm during GL timeslot?? Will they move to 10 am during TPIR timeslot and move TPIR to Y&R timeslot?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 Yeah, I'm guessing a few other affiliates will rearrange their schedules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members miche Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 I think people would pick Y&R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Harmony233 Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 I live in KY and Y&R comes on at nine a.m and its a day behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 Do you watch it on WKYT-27 in Lexington? While I don't watch Y&R, where I live in central KY we get both channel 27 and the Louisville CBS station WLKY-32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 Scotty, you have a great point, here. Y&R doesn't always air at 12:30. I watch on KCTV-5 in Kansas City (Previously KCMO-TV) and Y&R has aired at 11 AM since DAY ONE, and hasn't budged. In my region, at least.... it seems Y&R is most popular at 11 AM. Mark, this may shock you, but almost EVERY CBS affiliate here in Missouri airs Y&R at 11AM. Here is the rundown of airtimes of Y&R on all CBS affiliates in Missouri: KCTV Kansas City- 11 AM KOAM Pittsburgh Ks/Joplin, MO - 11 AM KOLR Springfield - 11:30 AM KMOV St. Louis - 4 PM KRCG Columbia/Jefferson City - 11 AM KSFV Cape Girardeau - 11 AM KHQA Hannibal/Quincy - 11 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 Nah. Y&R isn't in any danger. If anything, this is bad news for GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MarkH Posted September 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 4 pm can be good. That timeslot made Y&R #1 in Canada. Okay, now who do we have to sleep with to get weekly ratings in Atlanta for the next little while?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 the timeslot didnt kill GL. It wasnt like a sudden shift in time sunk GL's ratings. Years of being awful and mismanaged did it. This timeslot swap wont kill Y&R. The fact that it sucks will kill it, and is, and has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cat Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 Yep. Y&R is a clusterfuck right now and the problems it has are both wide-ranging and deep-seated (go ahead and sing your "I told you so's"). Given that it is the industry leader, I think it is bringing down ALL soaps, not just those in its line-up. I think lots of people watched Y&R plus one or two soaps of their choice -- or half-an-hour of Y&R and then another soap. If Y&R can no longer lead them in, what does that mean for Days? AMC? B&B? Timeslot-wise, I've said it before... so I'll say it again! ALL soaps should be shown between 4pm-7.59pm. This is a no-brainer. Soaps are thriving in Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada... why? Because they show their serial dramas in the late afternoon/early evening (which would be entirely workable here in the States while freeing up a half-hour for local newscasts and another half-hour for some Katie Couric yakking).

Members JackPeyton Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 i agree, but it wont happen here. the local stations are not going to give up the 4, 5, 6 oclock news. And the networks cant/wont force them too. Perhaps NBC could do it, because all they have is days... 3p: Ellen 4p: Days 5p: Local News 6p: Evening News 7P: Ent Shows is the only way it could be done unless they aired days at 5p and the local news was cut to half an hour before the evening news. but a network with many soaps?

Members Cat Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 Local news with a full hour-and-a-half to kill? Both local and evening should go to half-hour. People who want their news fix immediately just go to CNN/Fox/MSNBC anyway. Still, I get that the judge shows (Judge Judy = MY IDOL), Entertainment Tonights and Jeopardys are sacrosanct and, more importantly, ratings winners. I have compiled some possible schedules (below) but in order to include ET, Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, soaps would prob need to go half-hour. A possible schedule (with soaps running at their current length) could look like this: CBS affiliate (I'm taking WCBS as my model): 3pm: Dr Phil 4pm Judge Judy 4.30pm: B&B 5pm: ATWT 6pm: local news 6.30pm: CBS News 7pm: Y&R ABC affiliate: 3pm: Oprah 4pm AMC 5pm OLTL 6pm: local news 6.30pm: ABC Evening News 7pm: GH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
