TV Schedule Confusion: Is ‘Hogan’s Heroes’ Back to Its Original Time Slot on MeTV?
Welcome to the crazy world of TV listings. Incorrect programming listings for the popular network MeTV on cable boxes, websites, and in print can leave fans confused and frustrated about what is going on with their favorite and classic shows like Hogan’s Heroes, Emergency!, Leave It to Beaver, and more.
Is Hogan’s Heroes going to air in primetime? Is Emergency! leaving MeTV’s lineup? We are here to clear up some of these questions and confusion as to the mix-up of the network’s most popular titles.
Is Hogan’s Heroes going to air in primetime?
To answer one of the questions that has been swirling on Facebook and subreddit posts — specifically, whether Hogan’s Heroes is returning to an old primetime slot — the answer is no.
Hogan’s Heroes will remain in its current time slot of 6/5c through September 6 on MeTV, and then will air at 6:30 am ET Monday through Friday beginning September 7.
Was Emergency! removed from MeTV’s lineup?
Another no.
The beloved Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe series, Emergency!, will remain on the MeTV lineup.
So what’s causing all of this confusion?
The glitch is the result of a mistake by Nielsen (formerly Gracenote), a data and audience measurement company, who didn’t update the network’s programming information for well over a month (instead reverting back to an old schedule), and has been continuing to push out this outdated and incorrect information to all of its customers nationwide, impacting set-top boxes for clistings, online listings (like our sister website TV Insider), print magazines and more.
Nielsen’s mistake wasn’t limited to just the beloved nostalgia network, MeTV, either. It appears Nielsen also failed to refresh programming information for Heroes & Icons, as well. It’s going to take a bit to right the error, as some newspapers’ TV magazines and monthly TV programming guides (including one of our titles) have been printed and distributed for the full month of September with this incorrect information.
Below is the correct fall lineup for MeTV.
