I noticed that tonight the local Atlanta WB affiliate isn't showing
any of their normal WB programming and is putting on Will & Grace and
a movie "The Peacemaker" instead of the normal WB programming. I see
that the WGN WB affiliate is still showing the normal programming
(Just Legal burn off and Charmed.) Are there any other WB affiliates
that have already switched to new programming.

Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with WB's shows, so all this information
is from comparing the schedule on the WB site to the schedule for my
local WB station (KBWB in San Francisco).
I was checking KBWB's website last night to get the details on next
Sunday's five-hour WB sayonara. (I was going to tape it for a friend
in another country.) Turns out they aren't airing it. I just did a
day-by-day check, and according to their schedule, they are airing
WB network shows tonight, Monday, Thursday, and Friday. On Tuesday
and Wednesday, they're premiering their new lineup of Canadian
dramas (see my posting yesterday). On Sunday, they're rerunning
said dramas. So no WB stuff this Tues, Wed, or Sunday.
They have a cute change-of-website-name message:

Makes me wonder if they're going to change their call letters back to
KTZO.

I should add that the WB affiliate (WATL) is now tied in with My TV or
My Network or whatever that Fox thing is called.

The WB is no more. It has ceased to be. It is an ex network. If it's
MYTV then it won't have anything but telenovellas on it. You need to
find out if you have a CW affiliate -- that's where your WB and UPN
shows will be now.

The WB is still in operation and will be until Sunday the 18th. I
think the OP was asking if any other affiliates had dropped The WB's
programming early, rather than waiting until the official farewell bash.

Well, it's like WNYO ex-WB dropped last Tues. and became an instant My
Network TV for the first episode of 'Desire' and 'Fashion House' (....
but still show the WB Daytime 'ER' and '8 Simple Rules'). It's an

Daytime WB has been showing "What I like About you" reruns for almost three
months now, not "ER"
|
interesting transition period where some WB and UPN affiliates who
change to My Network TV dropped old affiliation last-Tues., but some
remain WBs or UPNs until Mon., Sept. 18th when The CW debuts. Because
the both networks didn't start on the same day.
