DAYS OF OUR LIVES Moves to Peacock From NBC on September 12

[edgeofnik]

Wow. Not that surprised. They attempted this years ago with the Tonight Show 5 days a week - it was a huge flop. Right now, there's not much on at 10 p.m. L&O and last half season of NA.

What is going on at NBC??

For years the NBC related stations on cable would program things against primetime specifically in the 10 pm hour. I am surprised and not surprised by this idea especially after the Leno fail.

The NBC affiliates are the picture in the dictionary by the term "renegade affiliate". Invented it, they did.

Anyone else seeing the rumors NBC wants to abandon the 10pm broadcast hour completely and give it back to local stations? Lord. LOL.

 

Who else can only handle so much news, even local?

I agree in the sense that news overload is killing daytime television. Stations these days have news from 3-7:30pm!

HOWEVER I support this move because prime time has been struggling for about the last decade. Broadcast networks must fill three hours of prime time Sun-Thu compared to cable and streaming who can just put something out when they have something good (even though they too have a fair share of s***ty shows).

I say give the affiliates 10 PM for news and either move the late night talk shows up to 10:35 or 11 PM Eastern. To avoid this being another "Jay Leno Show" 2010 situation, ABC and CBS might have follow suit -- and they should -- because primetime television is dying.

Where are the promos that Days is moving to Peacock soon? This has been handled so poorly which will not be good for Days in the long run! From the timing of the announcement, about a month before the big move, to radio silence at first and now no promotion. This will be the end of Days. How are regular NBC network viewers going to know about the move?

Oh god, Donna's at it again. NBC should let their viewers know where to find Days after it leaves the network. NBC needs to let the viewers know that Days will move to Peacock on Sept 12. Screencapping Peacock isn't going to alert the NBC viewers who have no idea what Peacock is or how to find it. 

[Contessa Donatella]

Nope. Nor did I say it was NBC saying or doing anything. Instead I just showed a simple illustration that they  have begun to do a little something on Peacock. OMG, what an overreaction to a simple post. Chillax, for god's sake.

[KMan101]

 

I don't disagree.

  Finally, some promotion weeks after the announcement.

Hmmm.  In my PC's browser window, it still says $4.99/month is the price for premium.  Maybe the pricing displays differently on different devices.

According to TV passport WNBC will be showing Dateline (syndicated daytime version) to make up for Ellen and DAYS' departures.

Dateline in daytime on an NBC station rather than the CW, My Network Tv or a small market Fox station. That's how you know local stations are running out of programming options.
