In Milwaukee, FOX 6 leaped it from 4:05am weekdays to 12:30pm weekdays. Please post if you have noticed the earlier trend.

I have noticed that. In New York it used to air on WNYW FOX 5 at like 6pm or so. Now it's on WWOR UPN 9 at 9am.

Yeah, I realized that Milwaukee's FOX 6 was airing it in the afternoon - I am so glad because now on days off from school, I can watch it again!

This is typical for a show that's been in syndication for a couple of years -- the "prime access" time slots are generally given to shows that are new to syndication, or are monster hits, like "Friends" and "Seinfeld".

The next step will be a move to a cable network. I understand Lifetime has already bought the rights for sometime in the next year or two.
