"The View" and "The Price is Right" are pretty close to each other at 11
a.m.--recent ABC News promos proclaim it the number one daytime talk show
(yes, it's officially under the news department nowadays). "The View" has
the younger audience, as anyone who pays attention to the commercial breaks
on "Price" knows. Hoda and Jenna (aka the fourth hour of "Today") is
technically considered a morning show, not daytime, because it is
considered part of "Today." "The Talk" beats "General Hospital" in most
markets at 2 p.m. ("Days"' official time is 1 p.m., although NBC feeds it
overnight and stations can air it anywhere in daytime). Of course, these
are network shows and not syndicated. The only syndicated panel I know of
is "The Real," which is mostly on Fox/CW/MyTV affils and gets lower ratings
as a force of habit for most first-run syndicated shows those stations
carry that aren't named "Family Feud."
I would be curious what the future of "GMA3: What You Need to Know" is.
It popped up when the pandemic hit and everyone knew they couldn't do the
lite-and-brite format of "Strahan, Sara and Keke" under the circumstances.
As nice as it is to have a network newscast at midday, I would be curious
that when things open up (and the show dropped its primary emphasis on
COVID a long time ago) if they will try to bring back Michael Strahan with
a lite talk format or try something else (like daytime versions of, say,
"Pyramid" with Strahan and "Match Game" with Laura Benanti?).
