Yahoo News Modern Family joins Young Sheldon in channel swap
Modern Family is set to join Young Sheldon in a channel swap which will see reruns of the popular shows air on the same channel.
Starting on Monday, September 9, all 11 seasons of the hit comedy are set to join Paramount’s Nick at Nite‘s new lineup with episodes airing daily from 2am to 4am (via Deadline).
The move marks the first time Modern Family has been available on a Paramount network. Nick at Nite currently airs reruns of popular shows Young Sheldon and The Neighborhood.

First airing back in 2013, Modern Family is set to leave NBCUniversal's E! where it has regularly aired back-to-back repeat episodes on weeknights from 4pm to 11pm.
As a final farewell to the show, NBCU E! will air a Modern Family marathon on Wednesday, September 4, consisting of 14 hours of back-to-back episodes. The channel will air their last episode of the show at midnight on September 6.
The comedy will still be available on NBCU's streaming service Peacock as well as Disney’s Hulu. It will also continue to run on TBS.

Speaking about the move, Rachel Crain, SVP, Programming & Content Strategy at Nickelodeon Networks said: "Nick at Nite is home to an exceptional roster of fan-favorite and critically acclaimed comedy series, including Friends, Mike & Molly, and Mom, and we are thrilled to have the Emmy Award-winning sitcom Modern Family join our lineup.
"Our Nick at Nite viewers are sure to connect with the heartfelt authenticity, hilarious honesty and zealous bravery that has made Modern Family such a pop culture staple around the world.”
Earlier this year, Modern Family star Sofia Vegara opened up about reprising the role of Gloria Delgado-Pritchett, saying she would return to the role if opportunity arose.
"I mean, I would do it in a second. Of course, I would do it," Vegara said on The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter podcast.
