Disney Counters Nick’s “Sam & Cat” Premiere With New Episodes
Disney Channel is moving the premiere episodes on June 9th of Good Luck Charlie (“The Unusual Suspects”), Dog With A Blog (“The Truck Stops Here”) and Austin & Ally (“Boy Songs & Badges”) to Saturday, June 8. All three series will air back-to-back from 8-9:30pm ET/PT.
Why the move? Well, Nickelodeon just so happens to be premiering their new series Sam & Cat at 8pm on Saturday, June 8. It is obvious Disney’s trying to counterprogram with new episodes to possibly deflate Nick’s premiere.
Disney Channel is still airing the same episodes of these shows on Sunday, June 9 from 7:30-9pm, where they were originally scheduled to premiere.
