Weakest Link: Jan '02 WDIV WEYI WSYM        

Revolution Prediction & Comments: Look for either Sally or Jenny Jones to end their runs this year. The syndicated market is crowded and it is only going to get larger. WDIV starts Weakest Link in January. Look for a talk show or Jeopardy's 2nd run to get bumped. WEYI needs to get better programming from 5-6pm. Cosby isn't the answer. How about Blind Date or Weakest Link? The worst late night lineup hands down has to be WEYI from 2-4:30am. Paid Programs, Power of Attorney, Grace Under Fire then the Nanny with another paid program after it. Conan O' Brien NBC All Night would be much better. Power of Attorney at 2:05am would be somewhat better. Several WB syndicated programs weren't picked up. All signs pointing to WB46 coming very soon! WSMH has an impressive late night lineup. The Simpsons at 11pm. It's a great alternative to news.

Early January Update: Well let's see. We've lost Power of Attorney, Card Sharks, and Talk or Walk.

WDIV: Weakest Link airs 4-5pm. Maury moves to 3pm. Jenny Jones moves to WB20. Jenny Jones' late night run will continue after Jay Leno.

WEYI: Weekdays: Texas Justice airs at 11:30am. Weakest Link airs at 5:30pm.

WSMH: Parent Hood returns to 66 at 5am. City Guys airs at 7am. With Fox Kids gone in the afternoon, here are some changes. Roseanne airs at 2pm. Cheers follows at 2:30pm. 3rd Rock moves from 5am to 3pm. Moesha airs at 3:30pm. Spin City moves to 4:30pm.
