The Southern Ontario/WNY Radio-TV Forum / Global Running 60 Minutes At Midnight On Sunday

I noticed this week that Global didn't run 60 Minutes at 7pm on Sunday. 60 Minutes ran at it's regular time on CBS. Instead Global premiered the new season of it's original program Crime Beat, followed by season return of Family Law, another original at 8pm.

This coming Sunday, same thing, 60 Minutes again scheduled for midnight on Sunday. And the same times for Crime Beat and Family Law, 7 and 8pm.

Makes me wonder how well 60 Minutes actually does for Global. They don't seem to be afraid to lose simulcasting on the program, which they have done a fair bit over the past six or seven months. And because of football or sports on CBS 60 Minutes is bounced around a lot anyway, and this just adds to it.

CBS has possibly two more late Sunday NFL games and the football season is done for them. Oh wait. Golf is next.

I've always found it interesting with American programing in Canada. How much money Canadian media has to spend and what type of ratings the program gets usually determines what station the program ends up on. If a program shows up on CHCH or Yestv tells me the show is cheap to buy and the ratings might be great for CHCH but not for CTV. If a program shows up on CTV that tells me the Canadian rights cost a lot more and the national ratings are pretty good.
As for 60 minutes. I would not be surprised if this program ends up on CHCH at some point or Global keeps it as part of the late night programing.
