<\/a> \"General Hospital\"<\/p><\/div>\n

The long-running soap opera \u201cGeneral Hospital\u201d and the syndicated \u201cInside Edition\u201d and \"Jeopardy!\" will return to their old time slots this fall on WLS-Channel 7<\/a>, as the ABC-owned station shuffles its daytime schedule for the third time in three years.<\/p>\n

Blame it all on Katie Couric\u2019s ill-fated daytime talk show, which debuted at 3 p.m. two years ago, disrupting ABC 7\u2019s top-rated lineup and sending viewers scrambling to find \u201cGeneral Hospital\u201d at 1 p.m. and the \u201cInside Edition\u201d and \"Jeopardy!\" combo at 2 p.m.<\/p>\n

Now with \u201cKatie\u201d canceled (and airing for the last time September 12), ABC 7 will put \u201cGeneral Hospital\u201d back where it aired for most of its 51-year run at 2 p.m., and \u201cInside Edition\u201d\/\"Jeopardy!\" at 3 and 3:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Joining the station\u2019s lineup at 1 p.m. will be \u201cThe Rachael Ray Show,\u201d which currently airs at 10 a.m. on Tribune Broadcasting WGN-Channel 9.<\/p>\n

Last fall, ABC 7 added \u201cLIVE 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 newscast\u00a0that had aired for more than 20 years.<\/p>\n

Here is ABC 7\u2019s Monday-through-Friday daytime lineup, starting September 15:<\/p>\n
