Ten is to axe its afternoon repeats of The Renovators in a shakeup to its daytime lineup following the end of Oprah.

The final episode of Oprah airs tomorrow, with the new lineup from Monday.

Chat show Dr Phil – hosted by former Oprah regular Phil McGraw – will remain in the noon slot, with Oprah replaced at 1pm by health advice show The Doctors, which is itself a spin-off from Dr Phil.

Ready Steady Cook remains in the 2pm slot, with Judge Judy returning to the schedule at 3pm.

Nothing beats a back to back session of Ready Steady Cook and Judge Judy. Nothing.

I’m struggling to get into the show in the evening (despite being a fan of renovating myself) so I’m not surprised they’ve dropped it from the afternoons.

When you see a title like The Renovators and reference to home renovations, you expect the see home renovation – NOT crappy ‘flower decoration’ challenges ( they might as well be as they have nothing to do with home Renovation). I feel sorry for the poor participants – it isn’t their fault the program hasn’t worked.
