Programming
Syndicated programming seen on KFMB includes Live! with Kelly and Michael, Dr. Phil, CSI: Miami, Anderson Live, Entertainment Tonight and The Insider. The station clears the entire CBS network schedule though for years, KFMB has chosen to air The Bold and the Beautiful outside of the network's recommended 12:30 p.m. timeslot for the soap opera. This stemmed from when the station had an hour-long noon newscast, as the station aired the program at 9:30 a.m., which placed it in correspondence with the Eastern Time Zone airing of the program in the aforementioned network-recommended timeslot. Today, the station's midday newscast has since moved to 11 a.m. with The Bold and the Beautiful following the program at 11:30 a.m. and The Young and the Restless remaining at noon.
Due to requirements mandated by the Federal Communications Commission to broadcast educational and informational programs aimed at children, KFMB is required to show E/I programs supplied by CBS through the network's Cookie Jar TV block, thus the station does not air live sporting events until 10 a.m. local time on Saturday mornings, even if coverage from CBS Sports has already started by that time.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
