Programming
Syndicated programming on WMUR includes Live with Kelly and Michael, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Ellen, and Inside Edition. Many of these programs are also seen on sister station WCVB-TV, and as a result the stations have similar schedules on weekdays. WMUR also airs a localized version of Chronicle, WCVB's longtime signature program. The station also produces a local political talk show, Close-Up, which airs on Sunday mornings.
WMUR also carries the MDA Show of Strength annually on Labor Day; it is one of the program's longest-serving affiliates, having carried it and its predecessors since the late 1960s.
In the 1960s and 1970s, one of its local programs was the children's weekday strip known as The Uncle Gus Show. Unlike Boston's astronaut "Major Mudd" or the widely franchised "Bozo", host "Uncle Gus" Bernier wore no costume except an angler's hat.

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)
