1999–2000 United States network television schedule (daytime) explained

The 1999–2000 daytime network television schedule for the six major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States in operation during that television season covers the weekday daytime hours from September 1999 to August 2000. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 1998–99 season.

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, which the service rebranded as PBS Kids on September 6 – is not included, as its member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Also not included are stations affiliated with Pax TV; although Pax carried a limited schedule of first-run programs, its schedule otherwise was composed mainly of syndicated reruns.

Schedule

• New series are highlighted in bold.
• 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.^[1] 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 other 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 offer 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 Passions and Days of Our Lives in reverse order from the network's recommended scheduling, a structure held over from when Another World occupied the 2:00 p.m. ET timeslot prior to its discontinuance in July 1999.
• Sunset Beach aired its final episode on December 31, 1999; NBC returned the noon timeslot to its affiliates on January 3, 2000. Some NBC affiliates did not air Sunset Beach in the noon timeslot, opting to air local news and/or syndicated programming instead.
• UPN debuted a weekly Disney cartoon block called Disney's One Too. It debuted on Monday, September 6th, 1999 (just a day after UPN Kids aired its final broadcast). UPN airs Disney animated series from Disney's One Saturday Morning on ABC, except it airs Monday through Friday afternoons and Sunday mornings (except Saturdays).
