Haven't noticed any official notification, but I believe the 3PM hour of "Diff'rent Strokes" on BET is done.

I thought this as well but I have Diffrent Strokes on my DVR schedule and it displays that the 3 pm (ET) airings resume next Wednesday or so.

It is preempted this week 3-4pm. It returns next week 3-4pm leading into Steve Harvey from 4-5pm. So it isn't over. Looking over the July schedule, as of now, no preemptions at all for DS 9-10am or 3-4pm starting July 7.

Thanks Pav for the update, I'll believe it when I see it....they may need to run the movie "Nora's Hair Salon" a few more times.....lol.....like so many networks these days they watch the ratings daily and decide daily the program schedule as well......try keeping up with TV Land!.....lol

I guess BET got burned out on "Malcolm & Eddie"? What else should BET be rerunning? Benson? Roc?

How is the series gonna be finished again by August, when supposedly the contract to air the show ends?

The pre-emptions make no rhyme or reason.

aww c'mon king, that would be like a world without movies & reality shows on TV Land, or a world with music videos on MTV and VH-1, that wouldn't be a creative proudly owned VIACOM network! Plus let's face it, we have all really enjoyed seeing our "Diff'rent Strokes" dysfunctional family again and even if ends soon, it got us all together again talking about DS right after we lost Alice on what was that network called that kept saying they were going to expand to 24 hours and announced a massive classic TV aquisistion deal with several major suppliers and then hardly ran any of them?...oh yeah....the incredible odd network! ...........lol...........

Haven't noticed any official notification, but I believe the 3PM hour of "Diff'rent Strokes" on BET is done.

I hated to be right on this one but with Viacom you cannot trust them, they watch the ratings minute by minute and do these switches based on rating blips and spikes.........I started this thread on June 30 with the above quote...I then posted the following when it was announced that strokes would return at 3PM....


"Thanks Pav for the update, I'll believe it when I see it....they may need to run the movie "Nora's Hair Salon" a few more times.....lol.....like so many networks these days they watch the ratings daily and decide daily the program schedule as well......try keeping up with TV Land!.....lol"

Then when it was announced again that it would return again, I seriously said they could still change their "mind?" on Monday at 2:55PM.....so they gave us a few days notice instead......I won't be posting anymore on this topic, I'm losing interest like I lost interest in ION.

Pav I give you kudos as usual for keeping up with everything...you can only post the info you are given!
