Programming
As a Post-Newsweek station, WPLG continues to run nearly the entire ABC television schedule; however, the ABC Kids airings of the Power Rangers series aired on a week-delayed basis, between 5-6 AM due to the station's news commitment from 7-10 AM and the program's lack of E/I content, as well as when during that timeslot, no paid advertisements were aired. Because of this, WPLG has had in recent years moved the 9-10 a.m. hour of ABC Kids to 11 AM-1 p.m. (the recommended time slot by ABC to air Power Rangers) on Saturday mornings. The airing of Power Rangers on WPLG and ABC ended when the network dropped the program on August 28, 2010, following Saban Entertainment's repurchase of the Power Rangers franchise from Disney, ABC's parent company.
Since 1988, Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune have aired on WPLG. Another King World program, The Oprah Winfrey Show, also aired on channel 10 from 1986 - 1999 at which time it moved to WFOR-TV.,

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)
