What has happened to Saturday morning TV?
459207
Somewhere along the line the networks decided that it would be more profitable to start running news programs on saturday morning.  One bleak saterday, kids got up, grabbed their cereal, and collectively screamed as all 4 networks had the "talking-head brigade" in full force.  A couple of things helped to push the networks this way.  One was that cable was starting to come into its own, and you had the early "kids" cable stations like nickelodeon showing the smae lower-budget cartoons all the time.  The other is that the "good" cartoons by the mid 80's were all syndicated, and were being sold for higher prices, hard to buy enough of these for both afterschool and saturday mornings.

Cartoons in general (Tom and Jerry, Scooby-doo, Flintstones) But ONLY on Saturday mornings.  And on the weekday nights  I watched 3's company, Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days.  You know when they werent reruns?

Indeed, before when it was impossible to watch games on television, fans were had to go to the game if they wanted to watch their team play. Also it is argued you can see more of the play from lots of different angles on the televsion. So yes is my answer, and I think that games not played on a Saturday are effected by this even more.

Yes!  That's what happened to me with Will & Grace!  The show was on foreeever, and I always turned away from it.  Then one day, last year in November, I decided to see what the hoopla was all about.....and found out!  Siiiigh.  What a great show.  Ah, well.  We'll miss them.  (Also happened to me with Seinfeld and Friends)

well it seems that for the past year and a half dicky has been doing his job as a morning talk show host. but what happened to the mighty morning show before the last week of march has been a mistery to all of LA and the OC. dickie was fired by indie flat out and simple. as any fan can see that the indie website has erased all traces of having a morning show with dicky. rumors have been popping up for the past two months as to what happened to dicky. but there seems to be only two sides. dicky, probaly being polite, has said that he resigned from the station. but the alternate is that he was fired, and dickie does not want to turn fans against the station because of the station's low down dirty corperate decision. indie says that dicky left to work full time at the kimmel show, which was a lie. \n\nhere is what dicky had to say: \n\nThe station was built to fuck with KROQ (Infinity) by people from KISS-FM (Clear Channel) it was just supposed to be a short lived pain in the ass that that took away a few ratings points, and talked some shit about KROQ - Inadvertently (and you can credit Steve Jones and the other celebrity DJ's) it became good, and got a lot of national attention, and credible press ''the coolest station in America'' rolling stone etc. “ At that point the FCC said Clear Channel who operated Indie 103.1 out of the Entravision offices could no longer do so - All business ties on paper we're severed - It became a full Entravision property - But the hard right leaning Clear Channel program director and station manager (along with a lot of the behind the scenes technical employees) were already firmly in place - It is in Clear Channel's best interest that Indie 103.1 exist - the PD, Michael Steele (who brags about ''breaking Britney Spears'') and the station manager, Dawn Girocco (a long time radio sales women) are believing their own hype and considering themselves radio geniuses who masterminded the Indie 103.1 phenomenon, so it's now time to implicate their superior ''radio wisdom'' and conventional ''radio strategy'' - #1) Morning shows need to be musically formatted and the music needs to be heavily rotated - #2) All guests must be approved by Michael Steele (Dawn Girocco really, she's Dick Cheney, Steele's George Bush) ''no guests to controversial soccer moms are l listening in the a.m.'' - There were other things that were more annoying, then actually detrimental to the show ''say the time, and call letters till your blue in the face'' - I reluctantly, and unhappily against my better judgment went along with all this for about two weeks, hoping they would come to their senses - During this time they brought in a longtime radio guru, to consult (he also worked at one point for Clear Channel) - His assessment was the show was ''really good'' and I was a ''legitimate talent and a potential radio star'' - Not the information these people wanted me to have - When I made an on a r remark about not liking the new overplayed Morrissey track I was marched into the President of Entravisions office (Jeff Lieberman, a fan of Mighty Morning show) - In front of me, Jeff told Dawn he was not prepared to ''strip Dicky of his opinion'' she was obviously and visibly embarrassed - Then he asked her if she gave me the book about morning radio that he gave her to give to me ''no, it's at home'' she said, ''why the hell, is it there'' he asked, she looked humiliated - This was the beginning of the end for me, and the writing was most likely on the wall - Two weeks after that I had a substantial, unauthorized, pro-choice conversation on the air with a South Dakota disc jockey and a few callers, the straw that broke the camels back - This is not the direction supporters of the current administration want the station going in.\n-

I don't know what actually happened to the show, i'm guessing it was cancelled. I watched it a lot also. I was really happy when I signed up for netflix and they have almost all of the shows on DVD that you can get. I hope that is helpful.

Also down in its target audience was "Jack FM" oldies WJMK, which replaced its legendary talent lineup and dropped its traditional oldies format last June.\n\nhttp://www.suntimes.com/output/feder/cst-fin-feder27.html

Probably not.  That was a great show.  It is a shame that show went off the air in the first place.
