Hey there! For you people (like me) here in Philly and surrounding areas in Pennsylvania can catch NewsRadio on WGTW-TV 48 at 5:00PM EST weekdays!

Hmm. Maybe this means its going back into syndication.

Hopefully, NewsRadio might show up on more local stations. There are lots of stations that could use NewsRadio. Here, that station is WXSP, a UPN station that is fairly new and doesn't have much good programming. For example, at 6 p.m. they have an hour of COPS. Obviously, it would be better if they had an hour of NewsRadio at 6.

I've always thought "NewsRadio" would fit nicely over at Comedy Central. I mean they show SNL (Phil Hartman, Jon Lovitz) and The Kids in the Hall (Dave Foley). Or even USA if they decided to air sitcoms in the morning again.

I think "NewsRadio" would be great for a fairly new channel showing reruns of COPS. NewsRadio is just the kind of show that could help a channel out. I mean it has that cult following. If there was a channel that just showed cult classics, that would be great. Because most of my favorite shows were cult classics.

It would be great if USA would pick it up for the morning sitcom deal...if they begin to do that again! I used to watch Wings and Veronica's Closet a lot when USA had them on in the mornings

Me too, that was back in early 2001, right (I can't remember)?

I've read there are 2 stations showing NewsRadio in Seattle, KVOS and KSTW. KVOS currently airs it at 11:30 p.m., but might be dropping NR entirely for MASH. KSTW airs NR on weekends at 4 p.m. on Saturday and 1 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. So hopefully, when I visit my sister and her fiance' in Seattle in August, there will be some NR on.

I also think that Comedy Central would be a good channel for NewsRadio. NR is one of the few sitcoms that would fit there, because of it's writing and cast. Plus, I've read CC gets big ratings every time they show "Office Space". The "Office Space" audience might tune in every day if NewsRadio was on Comedy Central.
