2020–21 United States network television schedule (daytime)

Look, I was trying to fix the schedule step by step because it's a mess. The Mon-Fri 6 a.m. hour is not given by the networks, as they mostly air local newscasts since 4:30 a.m.; on Sundays someone added the 6 a.m. hour unnecessarily, and don't get me started on the sports' airtimes. But since you didn't let me finish my editions I won't bother, I just wanted to let you know what was wrong. Greetings. — MrE (talk) 19:47, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My edits have nothing to do with the weekend, only Monday-Friday. The 6am hour is listed on every Monday-Friday Wikipedia daytime schedule available. Removing the 6am hour now would be breaking precedent. The networks have scheduled programs that air starting from 3 and 4am, it's not local programming. Happily finish your editions. I am merely keeping the Monday-Friday schedule consistent. — Thematrix92498 (talk) 19:53, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually networks offer programming until ~4:30 a.m., and later most affiliates air local news/programming until 7 a.m., that's why I removed it. It has been going on that way for a long time. If you want you can check the schedules from every network on their websites, TV Guide or even local listings. — MrE (talk) 20:03, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely sure whether most affiliate stations opt to air network newscasts or local newscasts prior to 7 a.m. If you feel listing these newscasts is inaccurate, I will remove them. I am more familiar with actual network daytime shows. Days of Our Lives, for example, doesn't actually air at 1 p.m. in much of the country, but 1 p.m. is its network recommended slot. I believe 10 a.m. is the network recommended slot for Let's Make a Deal despite it airing at 3 p.m. on many affiliates. — Thematrix92498 (talk) 20:13, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the Let's Make a Deal hour was wrong but I didn't move it, I was just focusing on the early morning and weekend sports airtimes. — MrE (talk) 20:16, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I will delete the Monday-Friday early morning newscasts. Thanks for your edits. Thematrix92498 (talk) 20:59, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Daytime/late night schedules

I wanted to ask you what is your opinion on a particular topic: what do you think of the split of the weeknights schedule? As only NBC would have different Fri scheduling, this does not mean that it can't be added to the weeknights' schedule, as it's a waste of space and could be easily replaced with a note. I talked about this on the editor's talk page but he did not seem to understand it. Also, I'm getting tired of that particular user not putting the adecquate style to the schedules and adding unnecessary information, so I'm considering to retire from working on the daytime/late night schedules. Let me know what you think on the first matter. Thanks. — MrE (talk) 21:47, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I’m happy you messaged, I’ve been meaning to tell you how great the current 2021-22 daytime schedule looks. My opinion: the splitting is a complete waste and nearly pointless. It’s becoming aggravating to see users completely change these network schedules when they don’t really know what they’re doing and aren’t familiar with precedent or guidelines (a few years back someone actually filled in an entire daytime schedule not realizing that there’s a difference between syndicated and network programming). I would not blame you for retiring. Admittedly, I’ve been busy and haven’t been able to help much lately, but I will step up since this is clearly getting out of hand with that specific user (amongst a few others as well). I encourage you to stay, but this is exhausting and it can’t all be on you. Honestly, if there is some way Hoopstercat can be reported, it may be time to follow through. I have no problem with people learning how to edit and correcting things, but they are completely changing pages and this isn’t acceptable. Let me know what I can do to help.
