1995–96 United States network television schedule (daytime)

none


none

The 1995–96 daytime network television schedule for the six major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the weekday and weekend daytime hours from September 1995 to August 1996. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 1995–96 season.

This was the first season in which The WB and UPN – which both launched in mid-January of that year – offered daytime programming, composed entirely of children's programming blocks on the respective networks: The WB aired its Kids' WB block on weekday afternoons and Saturday mornings, while UPN aired the hour-long UPN Kids block on Sunday mornings.

Affiliates fill time periods not occupied by network programs with local or syndicated programming. PBS – which offers daytime programming through a children's program block, branded as PTV at the time – is not included, as its member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary.

Legend

  • Light yellow indicates talk shows.
  • Green indicates soap operas.
  • Pink indicates game shows.
  • Gold indicates news and public affairs programming.
  • Light teal indicates sporting events.
  • White indicates local programming.
  • Light purple indicates children's and/or E/I-compliant programming.
  • Gray indicates encore programming (e.g., reruns of prime-time programming).
  • White with red border indicates other programs not applicable to the above categorizations.
  • New series are highlighted in bold.

Schedule

  • All times correspond to U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time scheduling (except for some live sports or events). Except where affiliates slot certain programs outside their network-dictated timeslots, subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian times.
  • Local schedules may differ, as affiliates have the option to pre-empt or delay network programs. Such scheduling may be limited to preemptions caused by local or national breaking news or weather coverage (which may force stations to tape delay certain programs in overnight timeslots or defer them to a co-operated or contracted station in their regular timeslot) and any major sports events scheduled to air in a weekday timeslot (mainly during major holidays). Stations may air shows at other times at their preference.

Notes:

  • ABC, NBC and CBS offered their early morning newscasts via a looping feed (usually running as late as 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time) to accommodate local scheduling in the westernmost contiguous time zones or for use a filler programming for stations that do not offer a local morning newscast; some stations without a morning newscast may air syndicated or time-lease programs instead of the full newscast loop.
  • NBC allowed owned-and-operated and affiliated stations the preference of airing Another World and Days of Our Lives in reverse order from the network's recommended scheduling.
  • Loving aired its last episode on ABC on November 10, 1995; The City, a New York City-set spin-off that initially featured 12 characters that appeared on Loving at the time of the latter's cancellation, premiered in its place on November 13. Both soap operas were fed to affiliates at Noon/11:00 a.m. CT or 12:30 p.m./11:30 a.m. CT, depending on local scheduling preference.
