It's not uncommon for switches like this to happen around Labor Day weekend/early September as that has traditionally been the 'beginning' of the new daytime season. Now, independent of the recent troubles, why it makes sense to switch from Ellen to The People's Court is unclear. Maybe it's cheaper for the station? David

I would think they would lock down the contracts back in April or May.And what does it mean that "Judge Judy" is going away and "Judy Justice" is coming next year?This is kind of curious. This would mean the local Sinclair station would get "Ellen." Or maybe the show would go to a UHF channel.
