Not long ago the opposite was happening but it wasn’t that long ago either when WPBF took a page from WPLG’s book and replaced their 5pm newscast with Dr. Phil. For those of you keeping tabs, Dr. Phil at 5pm on WPBF was announced in August of 2009. To remedy the switch WPBF also introduced a newscast at 4pm.
On April 13th during a newscast WPBF announced as of April 19th, 2010 the news are back on at 5pm and Dr. Phil is getting offed. What time slot Phil is getting pushed to we don’t know yet and if we had to make a guess, the most likely reason for his offing probably has something to do with ratings.
Interestingly WPBF will continue to air their 4pm newscast which gives them two and a half hour of early evening news, half an hour less than what WSVN is currently airing on weekdays.
/hat tip to tipster ninjas for alerting us/
Hopefully this or the next season is Dr. Phil’s last. I heard Oprah wants his show off cause it ain’t bringing in the bacon like it used to. Plus the other Harpo produced shows are doing better than Dr. Phil is.
This isnt WPBFs logo.
Don’t know why they are bothering. Everyone watches Jay Cashmere and the Cake lady at 5pm on channel 5 in West Palm anyway… thanks in part to Oprah.
Not quite the same thing, but it appears that WPLG has dumped the 9 AM repeats of Dr Phil in lieu of an hour of news. They are still running the 5 PM shows, AFAIK.
YESSSSS more news less PHIL
