And we can add the Howie Mandel Show to that weak lead in list,if we go by
the generally dismal,negative reviews it has gotten in it's opening days.CH
4 did get the rights to the Rosie O'Donnell show away from CH 5(WCVB) as of
this Sept.If I recall,I did read some time back that CH 4 plans to run it
at 4PM instead of the 10AM slot taht CH 5 currently has it.It is one of the
highest rated daytime TALK shows(I don't consider Jerry Springer's show to
fit into the talk category,opinion mode off!!).If 5 is having huge success
ratings wise with it in the AM,can it save 4 in the PM????We'll have to
wait and see.Also,(opinion mode on again)I have to agree with Gary
Francis,I too miss Eyewitness News!!!
