Filling the Dr. Laura void
By Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 11/13/2000
Dr. Laura's mass downgrade to 2 a.m. on the CBS stations has given a boost to several shows. On KPIX-TV San Francisco, Pearson's To Tell the Truth (previously airing at 4 p.m.) has been granted a second run at 4:30 p.m., effective Nov. 13. The half-hour strip's double showing fills in for the departed Curtis Court, which was shifted into Dr. Laura's old 3 p.m. home and granted a double run to fill the hour-long hole. On WCBS-TV New York, when Martha Stewart jumped to 3 p.m. to replace Dr. Laura, CBS shows Inside Edition and Curtis Court were upgraded from late-late-night to 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., respectively ( Martha's old stomping grounds).
