![]() The show turns to a discussion of the Weekly Scoop, with Callahan previewing the preferred walk-on portion with Vanderbilt transfer Cade Law getting most of the airtime. With Taylor one of three UNC targets yet to commit, Callahan updates listeners on the timeline for the other two wide receiver prospects, Javarius Green and Jonathan Paylor. NBC also released a revised fall schedule that features a mix of reruns, reality shows and a few new scripted series with episodes produced before the strikes.Don Callahan joins host Tommy Ashley on this week's Noon Dish to update North Carolina football's recruiting and to preview this weekend's announcement from wide receiver target Alex Taylor.Īhead of Taylor’s commitment announcement on Saturday, July 29, Callahan and Ashley break down Inside Carolina’s coverage plan from Greensboro’s Grimsley High with Callahan and John Bauman on site to cover the four star’s ceremony. My assumption is the shows they chose to rerun this fall typically get better ratings in reruns than those they chose not to rerun. For fall, CBS is choosing to air reruns of some of its established scripted shows but not others. Rob: CBS renewed “NCIS: Hawaii,” “FBI: International” and “FBI: Most Wanted” along with a slew of other series in February.ĭue to the writers’ strike, there were few scripts ready for the 2023-24 TV season and now there are no actors to perform the non-existent scripts due to the actors’ strike. But there were a few listed: “NCIS” but not “NCIS: Hawaii.” “FBI” but not “FBI: International” or FBI: Most Wanted.” Were these canceled? Or just didn’t film before the strike happened? Many series that were shown last year are not on it and I am thinking that is because of the writers’/actors’ strike. Q: Just saw that CBS announced its fall schedule. “Big Brother” was delayed until August not because its story editors are on strike but so the show will run into the fall when there will be few new scripted shows airing due to the writers’ strike. Even SAG-AFTRA members who host talk shows and game shows can continue to do so because they work under a different contract that is not under strike jurisdiction, per SAG-AFTRA. Reality stars are not currently in an actors union. ![]() Reality shows will continue to film during the current actors’ and writers’ strikes, although Bethenny Frankel thinks reality stars should unionize (good luck with that!). Most reality shows have story editors who craft an episode’s stories by sifting through hours and hours of footage that may result in drawing up a document for post-production editing but it is based on what was said rather than a script given to reality stars to memorize and repeat back as an actor would. I’d need to know the title of the MTV reality show in question to confirm if it is a unionized show. Rob: My sense is these concurrent writers’ and actors’ strikes will go on for a while and will not resolve anytime soon. How long do you think the strikes will last? I can’t imagine what the major networks will air with both writers and actors on strike. I know that “Big Brother” is being delayed. ![]() Now, maybe they don’t have writers on all reality shows or maybe they are not part of the unions, but can they record and air reality shows during the strike? Q: I had a friend of a friend who was a writer on an MTV reality series. ![]() I am sure DISH’s customer contract makes allowances for retransmission disputes so they likely don’t have to offer a discount but perhaps they will if asked (I’ve heard of it happening during past, prolonged retrans disputes). If you’re not out of contract, call DISH and demand a discount. At this point if I had DISH and was out of contract, I’d switch to a different cable provider or streaming option that includes local channels. Rob: The retransmission dispute between WPXI-TV’s parent company and DISH Network that resulted in WPXI, Pittsburgh’s NBC affiliate, coming off DISH began in late November 2022. Is there something that can be done about that? We haven’t had NBC’s WPXI-TV for more than seven months and I’m still paying the same amount.
