WXYZ found an even lamer show than "The List" to air at 7:30 weeknights

[MasterB]

You Bet Your Life got canceled due to the writers strike I thought the show was going to be in repeats until the writers strike was over, Jay said he wasn't going to do the show until the writers strike was over.

That show stunk anyway.

WXYZ regret letting ET go to 62? Doesn’t it air now in the wee hours of the morning?

[MasterB]

I thought that TV20 had ET when Scripps dropped it 10+ years ago before they bought TV20 and then went to 62?

[Luke]

Apparently now ET is moving to FOX2 to replace Access Hollywood.

If I remember correctly, ET was dropped because it was expensive to preempt, under the contract all of the commercials that ran nationally on ET had to run in prime time even if the episode did not. Somehow things have changed and a more agreeable contract with Access Hollywood was reached and or Scripps learned a hard lesson that they did not have the resources to produce a product to compete against Jeopardy and maintain enough viewers to sell to advertisers.

They must be awful slow learners... it's been what... 10 or more years since they dropped ET?

Scripps has new corporate leadership after some major reshuffling.

Hopefully that leads to better things down the line. Things have seemed a little shoe-string lately.

Just saw a promo earlier today on WXYZ which announced they will start airing Access Hollywood at 7:30 weeknights starting Monday. This punts Pictionary back to a single overnight airing.

Is WXYZ airing Scripps News sister station Fox17 is airing Scripps News at 1PM to 1:30PM & 7PM to 7:30PM leading into Access Hollywood at 7:30PM. Which AH returns to Access Prime after 4 years not being in the 7PM or 7:30PM timeslot.
