Draft:2024–25 United States network television schedule (afternoon)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2024–25 afternoon network television schedule for the four major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the weekday and weekend afternoon hours from September 2023 to August 2024. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning and cancelled shows from the 2023–24 season. The daytime schedules for the four major networks that offer afternoon programming are expected to remain consistent with the prior television season.

Affiliates fill time periods not occupied by network programs with local or syndicated programming. PBS – which offers daytime programming through a children's program block, PBS Kids – is not included, as its member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Also not included areMyNetworkTV (as the programming services do not offer daytime programs of any kind except for LIV Golf, Atlantic Coast Conference, and the Arizona Bowl) and Ion Television (as its schedule is composed mainly of syndicated reruns).

The CW is not included on the weekday schedule as it only airs afternoon programming (in the form of sports content) during weekends. Fox is not included on the weekday schedule as it only airs afternoon programming (in the form of sports content) during weekends.

Please note that the schedules for the networks are affected by the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes.

Schedule

[edit]
  • New series are highlighted in bold.

  • Local schedules may differ, as affiliates have the option to pre-empt or delay network programs.[1] Such scheduling may be limited to preemptions caused by local or national breaking news or weather coverage (which may force stations to tape delay certain programs in overnight timeslots or defer them to a co-operated station or digital subchannel in their regular timeslot) and any major sports events scheduled to air in a weekday timeslot (mainly during major holidays). Stations may air shows at other times at their preference.
  • All sporting events air live in all time zones in U.S. Eastern time, with local programming by affiliates in western time zones after game completion.
