WSB-TV has made a last-second change to its 2017-18 daytime line up, moving a viral video show "Right This Minute" to 10 a.m. weekdays, replacing "The Doctors." [UPDATE: In the fall of 2018, “The Doctors” moved to 8 a.m. on CW69.]
The medical advice show, which debuted in 2008, will now air starting September 11 at 2:05 a.m., where "Right This Minute" was scheduled the past year. Ratings for "The Doctors" have slipped over the past year, pulling in fewer viewers than "Live With Kelly and Ryan" at 9 a.m. or "The View" at 11 a.m. ("Doctors" fans who like to sleep at night and have DVRs can simply tape the episodes and watch it later.)
"Right This Minute," which has been running overnight on WSB-TV since 2014, features five hosts discussing the latest hot viral videos.
