Guess My Station Axed Remastered

WWLP in Springfield Mass was showing it at 5am Sunday mornings, a fantastic slot by the way, but it has been replaced by some syndicated Reality show so I guess they ditched it. Anyone elses station drop it.
 
WWLP's website shows TOS-R showing at 5 AM on Sunday the 11th and Sunday the 18th. So either the website hasn't been updated or the pre-emption was for one week only. You could try calling the station to find out.

Keep in mind that we switched back to Standard Time on Sunday morning at 2 AM. Perhaps your VCR or TiVo or whatever simply didn't catch up with the time change and recorded the wrong hour of programming.
 
Many markets changed syndicators a few weeks ago. In NY WNBC dropped it, and My 9 picked it up. I would suggest going to TV Guide.com put in all your location and carrier info and search for Trek.
 
Thankfully, my local FOX and CW stations are keeping Remastered in easy-to-find slots in daytime on weekends.
 
It appears that WISH-TV (8) in Indy has also dropped ST:R; they were showing it at midnight on Saturdays. The episodes were normally a repeat of the previous week's episode, shown then on WNDY-23 at 10:35 on Saturday night (which meant we were getting 2 hours every Saturday night!); now we only have the WNDY showing, and then crappy infomercials at midnight :(.

Of course, they might be showing it at a different time, but I can't find anything that documents what is on TV in Indy from 11:30 PM - 6:00 AM on Saturday and Sunday nights; neither TV Guide nor the local TV schedule covers these times, nor does the WISH website. Jerks! :mad:
 
KPDX in Oregon is still showing it at 10pm on sat with the previous week repeat sun at 10pm.

WCVB in Boston sometimes airs it at 2:35 Sunday morning, sometimes not at all.

:(
I just checked and it's on right now (began at 3am EST) Wish I could watch, but my son is crashed in the LR where the HD is and I'm all stressed out with insomnia hoping to find some sleep before morning :(
 
Ours has been changed from Fri-Saturday morning at 6 AM to Sunday-Monday 3 AM. Still too late for me. I used to stay up that late, but not any more.
 
I've had to replace DVRs a LOT recently (3 times in the past 4 months), so SOME of my TiVo season passes haven't been properly maintained. I missed this morning's TOS-R (Boston, 2:35am), and it looks like next week is a repeat of The Doomsday Machine. :(
 
In lieu of the Saturday and Sunday showings in my area, we got a blank screen with "No Signal". I don't know whether to blame the station (Birmingham's My68) or the cable company (West Alabama TV Cable) I might as well stop taping all the remastered episodes of TOS. :-/
 
Man trek sure does get "the shaft" when it comes to airing, more than any other show in existence it seems.

G4 just stopped showing TNG at its regular time.
 
The schedule in my area(Roanoke,VA)for the forseeable future is the following:

Saturdays at 1:00 pm: NEW Remastered episodes air on the FOX affiliate.

Sundays at 11:00 am: A repeat of the previous week's FOX/new episode is shown on the CW channel.

I think its your cable; I saw it just fine off Birmingham's My68 Sunday afternoon.
 
My CW moves it frequently depending on what infomercials they want to air, which I guess generate more money for them!
 
Thankfully, my FOX and CW affiliates program sports games and infomercials for much later in the day on weekends.
 
If it weren't for the Remastered rerun on Sunday mornings at 11, my CW channel wouldn't air ANYTHING worth watching.
