ABC Kids has just been released:
The fourth hour (12-1 ET) is gone. Affiliates all over the country popping the champagne over this one.
The other three hours (the E/I block) stay exactly the same -- the same shows at the same times showing the same old tired episodes.
Looks like I was right all along. Why would they change the schedule now when they haven't done anything with the lineup since 2006? It was obvious that the fourth hour would be gone since it wasn't E/I compliant and the 3 hours worth of shows is enough to satisfy any ABC affiliate's E/I requirement. Wouldn't want 4 hours of E/I shows since affiliates only want to meet the requirement, not exceed it.
