On the last day of 2023, UP's newest addition is Walker, Texas Ranger with a marathon from 9AM-7PM followed by a Heartland marathon from 7PM-3AM. Not a fan of Walker Texas Ranger, I would have rather seen Gilmore Girls return. New Year's Day only goes to midnight for now on Zap2it. Heartland 6AM-2PM, Reba 2-6PM, Last Man Standing 6-10PM, and Blue Bloods starting at 10PM. Touched by an Angel is gone as well if that is the regular weekday schedule. :(

Hopefully this means either Get TV or H&I drop Walker. This show gets so many reruns its unbelievable.

Listings have updated and changed some. New Year's Eve Walker launch marathon is now 18 hours from 9AM-3AM. Weeknights Blue Bloods continues to air 5 episodes from 10PM-3AM. And Walker, Texas Ranger will also air 5 episodes during the day from 9AM-2PM, leaving Heartland with just early mornings 6-9AM. Reba is still 2-6PM and Last Man Standing is still 6-10PM. Except on Thursdays at 8PM Hudson and Rex has its linear US TV premiere as I mentioned in another thread.

Reba will still air its full 4 hour block on Thursdays 2-6PM. Last Man Standing will be totally preempted on that day, though. Blue Bloods will air at 6:00 and 7:00 leading into the Hudson and Rex premiere at 8:00. More Blue Bloods at 9:00 and 10:00, then Hudson and Rex has an encore at 11:00. That would have been nice with the Heartland double episode season finale from October I still haven't seen yet. Midnight after the Hudson and Rex encore is back to Blue Bloods.

Last Man Standing is back on Thursdays from 6-8PM leading into the new Hudson and Rex. At 2PM earlier Thursdays is an encore of the last week's Hudson and Rex, Reba is still on from 3-6PM. For one week Last Man Standing had returned to the 9PM hour on Thursdays, but that went back to Blue Bloods. On Fridays the sitcom blocks are reversed with Last Man Standing from 2-6PM and Reba from 6-10PM. Palm Sunday in three days is a marathon of The Chosen, season 2 episodes starting at 1PM. They are off the clock because of varying episode lengths going to 9:30PM. Blue Bloods five episode block starts then with a solitary Last Man Standing at 2:30AM. Next Friday on March 29 the regular schedule is mostly preempted because of Good Friday. No Walker Texas Ranger that day, Heartland has an extended marathon til 1PM. Then they are airing The Ten Commandments at 1PM (a 2006 remake, not the Charlton Heston version that still airs on ABC every year). This Ten Commandments remake also kicks off Palm Sunday at 9AM leading into The Chosen marathon. At 5PM Good Friday is the movie Mary, Mother of Jesus. 7PM a new special premieres about Dennis Quaid airing his new gospel video and an interview about his journey of redemption with Bill Gaither. Perfect week for me to watch with Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! preempted in Fort Wayne because of March Madness. At 8PM is UP's annual Good Friday airing of The Passion of The Christ with an immediate encore at 10PM. Blue Bloods still airs three episodes to close out the night starting at midnight. The Dennis Quaid special encores at 9AM Easter Sunday (March 31) with a Whitney Houston gospel music special following at 10AM, then a bunch of movies.
