From 1999 to 2002, WDIV did not clear the soap opera "Passions" at 2 p.m. Instead, it aired on WADL (channel 38) at noon on a day-behind basis, while WDIV aired daytime talk shows at 2 p.m.; Houston sister station KPRC-TV did this as well until August 30, 2004 when it became the last NBC station to carry "Passions" at 2 p.m. These two stations were the only NBC affiliate holdouts to the show; the issue was rendered moot when NBC canceled the soap opera in 2007. Those same two NBC stations also never carried "Sunset Beach"; the soap was seen on UPN affiliates WKBD and KTXH, respectively.
