KXAN adds ‘Dr. Phil’; sister station KBVO grabs ‘Family Guy’
You’ll need a pen and paper to keep up with all the new and relocated syndicated shows bound for sister stations KBVO, KNVA and KXAN.
“Live! with Regis and Kelly” is leaving KXAN, bound for KVUE. The departure allows the city’s NBC affiliate to air the four-hour “Today” show straight through from 7 to 11 a.m. — without an hour-long break at 9 a.m. — starting Aug. 22.
Rachael Ray’s show slides to 11 a.m., followed by the station’s noon news.
Afternoons, “The Doctors” moves up an hour, airing at 2 p.m. “Dr. Phil,” picked up from KEYE, gets plugged into the 3 p.m. slot.
All the changes on KXAN take place Aug. 22, except for the debut of “Dr. Phil.” Reruns of “Judge Greg Mathis” will fill the 3 p.m. hour for three weeks until the self-help guru arrives Sept. 12.
Over on KNVA, Austin’s CW station, CNN host Anderson Cooper’s new talk show launches Sept. 12 at 4 p.m.
Three other shows arrive Sept. 19. Jeremy Kyle, host of a tabloid TV talk show in Britain, makes his U.S. debut at 11 a.m.
Dr. Drew Pinsky’s show bows at 3 p.m. that day, and back-to-back episodes of NBC’s critically acclaimed “30 Rock” pop up at 11 and 11:30 p.m.
MyNetworkTV affiliate KBVO has grabbed “Family Guy” from KTBC, plugging it in at 6:30 and 10:30 p.m. weekdays starting Sept. 5.
“American Dad,” an animated show from “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane, joins the lineup at 6 and 10 p.m. weekdays on Sept. 19.
Sept. 19 is also the day “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” an import from the FX cable network, lands at 11:30 p.m.
