WASHINGTON DC: DAYS IS MOVING TO 12PM

Via Jason47:

NBC owns and operates 10 of its many affiliates.

For those 10 affiliates (known as O&O's in the business), based on Meredith Vieira's air schedule:

WRC (Washington DC), WMAQ (Chicago), WCAU (Philadelphia), KXAS (Dallas) and KNSD (San Diego) will be airing Meredith Vieira at 1PM.

WNBC (New York City), KNBC (Los Angeles), WVIT (Connecticut) and WTVJ (Miami) will be airing Meredith Vieira at 2PM.

KNTV (San Francisco/Oakland) will be airing Meredith Vieira at 3PM.

It comes on at 11am in Chicago. It won't be affected

[cassadine1991]

Days appears at 1PM here in California

[Days22]

I couldnt check Philly and Dallas but it doesnt mess with Days in Chicago, San Diego, New York, LA, Connecticut, Miami or San fran.

Just DC

[Vee]

I do recall DAYS airs at 1 back in DC.

[RavenWhitney]

that's sad but this is the last season or two of DOOL. There's no way they can survive especially with the recent ratings slide and impending departures of Sami and EJ, who probably didn't renew because they don't want to be there when it's cancelled. Sad

[Marco Dane]

will another network.... Pick up Days.... ABC?.......

General Hospital and Days sounds like a good lineup. But I doubt ABC would do it.

[John]

The NBC afiliates arent dropping Days just changing to 12 noon in some areas

[robbwolff]

Days airs at noon in Philadelphia so I doubt it will be affected.

[Eric83]

It will end on NBC.

[Nate4]

I live in DC. Here's the lineup.

7-11am - today

11am - news

12pm - access Hollywood

1pm - DAYS

2pm - Steve (big black guy)

3pm - Ellen

4pm - news

Hopefully they cancel news at 4 and move DAYS there. Really hope they move it to 4 so I can come home from school and watch it.

[Nate4]

I don't think ABC will pick it up. Maybe FOX? :/

I think Jason is simply stating when Meredith Viera will be airing. Unless there are additional changes, WVIT already airs DAYS at 12 noon (it has since the fall when the show was bumped for Hollywood Access) and WNBC airs it at 1PM.

That said, a bunch of affiliates played with the schedule in the fall. Was there really a big shift in the ratings then? I don't recall.

[KMan101]

LOL at people thinking EJ and Sami leaving are the reason DAYS will get cancelled. Yeah. No. There isn't going to a mass turn out of viewers.

I'm not super concerned over this, yet, but it's alarming for sure. Once affiliates begin moving the show ... it's not exactly a good sign. I've always had a feeling DAYS would reach it's 50th and then ... we shall see but DAYS will still be on for quite a while so I don't think this needs to turn into a 60 page doom and gloom OMG DAYS IS CANCELLED OR WILL THEY MOVE NETWORKS? Let's not.

Every fall affiliates alter/readjust schedules. Oftentimes this affects Days.. now, often these are in smaller affilicates (middle of Kentucky/ Idaho, etc), but yes -all affiliates update their lineups in the fall or new shows (this year - Meredith Vierra.. two years ago Katie, etc)..
