Go Time is a syndicated programming block produced by Hearst Media Production Group that airs select Hearst Media programs (that originally aired on its network-provided blocks) on local Fox, MyNetworkTV, and independent stations, as both Fox and MyNetworkTV did not carry a Hearst-branded block on their respective national schedules.

National ad sales for the block were handled by Sony Pictures Television in lieu of Hearst Media. [1]
