Fox 13's Washington Sports Wrap replays at 11 a.m. the following day will be dead after Labor Day when The Jennifer Hudson Show moves from 1 pm to 11 am. Both the Sherri sydicated program and Studio 13 Live are gone. Also, the station is running a show called 'Battleground' (Midterms) at 11 pm against news on the other three locals. The sports show was nothing more than a morning placeholder as we already reported. The original still runs at 6:30 weeknights. I am also seeing another edition of West Coast News Wrap from KTVU in Oakland running back to back at 7:30, but I don't recall what
previously ran in that time slot. I watch Jeopardy anyway!
Update: A loyal reader says Sports Wrap was airing on a 730 replay weeknights, so looks like it's gone too.

A rerun of Washington Sports Wrap has been airing at 7:30.
ReplyDeleteI can't confirm this, but I've heard discussion that the West Coast News Wrap program is expanding to an hour. The new second half-hour is said to be optional, and not all stations that air the program will air it. But it looks like Fox 13 will air it.
Love the fact 13 has more sports. But as a sports fan, who would ever watch in the 6 or 6:30 time slot. Mariners game starting or ending if on East Coast, prime time monday or thursday football games or even college football games. Kraken in the Winter months and their games are now starting at 6:45. Time slot makes it irrelevant for the sports fan.
ReplyDeleteWhat would be a better timeslot for the program? 6:30pm may be a good time for local news, but it doesn't seem like the best time for a dedicated sports program, especially now that the Kraken games are moving earlier into the evening.
