Members SFK Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 I don't think Dr. Oz is a good choice at all. He has a good show (when I'm up for it, he makes me paranoid sometimes ), but not for that spot. A talk format more like Ellen or The View is a better way to go. Of course Ellen's already syndicated, airing against Oprah in my market for example. As much as The View feels like a morning show to me, it is still the best choice based on what's currently on the landscape. I think it was Bravo or A&E that used to do early evening same-day repeats of The View and it worked perfectly well, still it'll always feel like coffee time television to me. Once upon a time, the "original" Rosie O'Donnell show would have been a perfect replacement for Oprah, fun, warm, endearing, but then of course it took a *turn*. I'm sure Rosie could get another chance, but her public persona has become so polarizing, and I'm not sure a daily TV talk show is what she needs in her life (did anyone see her on Oprah yesterday?). I think what she's got going for herself right now is where she needs to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 "The View" is totally a morning-type show. It's so easy to associate it with coffee and the morning paper and doing laundry and coming in from a jog and all of that good stuff. Having it on in an afternoon slot would take lots of getting used to. The only thing that makes sense in the afternoon for me is trashy talk shows, but we don't have them anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Melroser Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 Where I am, Oprah is on the CBS station. So would THE VIEW move from the ABC affiliate to air on CBS? Would ABC do that? I'm confused. Why would they want one of their properties airing on the competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted January 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 27, 2010 ABC is considering selling "The View" into syndication, meaning that any local tv station in the country (regardless of network affiliation) would be able to air it if they bought the rights to it. ABC would do it mainly because of the money they could make from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
