Look for WLS-Channel 7 <\/a>to move \u201cInside Edition\u201d and \u201cJeopardy!\u201d back to their old time slots at 3 and 3:30 p.m. this fall when the ABC-owned station shuffles its daytime schedule for the third time in three years.<\/p>\n

Triggering the latest realignment is the cancellation of Katie Couric\u2019s syndicated talk show after two seasons and the station\u2019s acquisition of \u201cThe Rachael Ray Show,\u201d<\/a> which currently airs at 10 a.m. Monday through Friday on Tribune Broadcasting WGN-Channel 9.<\/p>\n

Couric\u2019s disappointing ratings at 3 p.m. proved a drag on ABC 7\u2019s once-invincible daytime lineup. The powerful \u201cInside Edition\u201d and \u201cJeopardy!\u201d combo had been the lead-in to the station's 4 p.m. newscast since the 1980s. When Disney\/ABC bosses forced all of their owned stations to air \u201cKatie\u201d at 3 p.m. (Central Time) in 2012, ABC 7 reluctantly shifted \u201cInside Edition\u201d and \u201cJeopardy!\u201d to 2 and 2:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

ABC 7 officials won\u2019t confirm a time slot for \u201cRachael Ray\u201d until they announce their fall schedule this summer, but sources said it\u2019s a certainty that \u201cInside Edition\u201d and \u201cJeopardy!\u201d will revert to the 3 p.m. hour.<\/p>\n

Last fall, the station added \"Live with Kelly and Michael\u201d at 9 a.m. and shifted the locally produced \u201cWindy City Live\u201d to 11 a.m. in place of a\u00a0top-rated newscast<\/a>\u00a0that had aired for more than 20 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
