The Doctors (2008 TV series)
Dr. Oz announced that his show would move to their time slot (10 AM weekdays). Since it's on the same network, the Q then comes up as to what happens to The Doctors. Is that show being canceled or moved ? If moved, where to ? Thanks, StuRat (talk) 22:55, 3 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Both shows are in syndication, meaning that the local station purchases the show directly from the producers; the shows are not part of any network package. Each station decides on its own when to air syndicated shows.  Your local station carrying those shows can move their schedule around at will; that Dr. Oz is taking the time slot currently showing The Doctors on whatever station you watch could mean that that station would choose to move The Doctors to a new time slot; or that one station may be dropping The Doctors altogether; it could also be picked up by another local station if that were to occur.  There's really no way to tell what is happening because, with syndication, these decisions are all made on a station-by-station basis.  -- Jayron  32  23:33, 3 September 2014 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks. The local TV station is WXYZ.  "Now I know my ABC's, next time won't you sing with me ?" :-) StuRat (talk) 14:11, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

UPDATE: The Doctors was on at 11 AM today, so hopefully that's it's permanent new time slot. StuRat (talk) 14:46, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
