Starting later today UP is making a few changes to their weekday schedule, with weekend changes as well. Infomercials remain every night from 3-6AM.

Weekdays
6AM Heartland
7AM Highway to Heaven
8AM Highway to Heaven
9-12AM Touched by an Angel
12-3PM Gilmore Girls
3-6PM Reba
6-10PM Last Man Standing
10PM-3AM Blue Bloods- odd that this includes Friday nights at 10:00 when CBS has new episodes

Saturdays
6AM Heartland
7AM Highway to Heaven
8AM Highway to Heaven
9AM Touched by an Angel
10AM Touched by an Angel
11AM-5PM Reba
5PM-3AM Blue Bloods

Sundays
6-9AM Religious Shows
9AM-11PM Last Man Standing (yes, 28 straight episodes :rolleyes:)
11PM-3AM Blue Bloods

Blue Bloods and Last Man Standing got a lot of promotion tonight during the Southern Gospel movie premiere and late night Blue Bloods block. Gilmore Girls was also promoted at its new earlier time. Not surprisingly, Touched by an Angel and Highway to Heaven got no promos. But joining them was Reba, no ads whatsoever for Reba makes me think UP's contract could be expiring later this year.

I might have been wrong on which show is expiring from UP. Tomorrow is Gilmore Girls' last day on the schedule. Starting Monday at the beginning of a new month Heartland will air 6-10AM, followed by Touched by an Angel from 10AM-3PM weekdays. Highway to Heaven is also gone.

Marion Ross is everywhere. She guest starred on Friday's 1PM episode of Gilmore Girls in its last day of airing. And she guest starred on timeslot replacement Touched by an Angel in today's noon episode. :lol:

Starting on July 10, Touched by an Angel will be removed from the schedule and Heartland will be replacing it.

Everything else remains the same.

Wow, so no more Touched by an Angel either?

Doesn't that just leave them with four or five shows..? And Gilmore Girls is still off network, too? Yikes.

Touched by an Angel is leaving even sooner already gone, was originally listed for Wednesday-Friday this week but that is now updated. With yesterday starting a new month the rights might have expired. Heartland will still be 6AM-3PM starting July 10. Before then the week of July 3, there will be long marathons of Last Man Standing, Reba, Blue Bloods, and movies. You would think Gilmore Girls would return to the schedule on July 10, that one they probably still have the rights with the Memorial Day marathon they aired.

Never mind the previous changes, Touched by an Angel is now remaining weekdays from 10AM-3PM.

If UP is going to give up Gilmore Girls, I'm kinda hoping Freeform scoops it back up. I doubt it'll happen, but a girl can dream...

Season 16 of Heartland will have its US premiere Sunday, August 6. Two new episodes air that night from 7-9, whether it is one or two new episodes in future weeks remains to be seen.

After its two episode premiere this Sunday, Heartland will air one new episode a week at 7:00. Heartland will lead into season 2 of Wild at Heart, which will air Sundays at 8:00 starting August 13.

I am ticked off at UP. Wild at Heart only had two episodes following Heartland on Sunday nights. Starting this weekend, new episodes of Wild at Heart are getting banished to 6AM on Saturdays, they made this awful decision even before episode 2 premiered three days ago. I like Blue Bloods, but it doesn't need 7 straight hours Sunday nights. Heartland will still air Sundays at 7PM.

Up getting rid of Gilmore Girls was a huge mistake...

I’m sorry. I misread and thought that Touched by an Angel would be leaving, but it’s not.

Heartland has a 2 episode season finale on October 29. That is terrible timing for me as it is the night of my dress rehearsal. Hopefully my new X1 box will have these episodes on demand.

For the first time in several years, there will be no complete series marathon of Gilmore Girls over the week of Thanksgiving. The 21st is the regular weekday schedule, then the 22nd is all Christmas movies. My listings don't go to the 23rd yet. UP says they no longer have access to Gilmore Girls on their network.

The Christmas TV movies marathon is continuing for the rest of the week (except for most of Friday November 24, with a Heartland binge from 6am-5pm ET).
