They preempted that for this?

They run the current episode M-F and repeats only on weekends.
The weekend run is different from the "daytime" run. Both runs are repeats from the previous season (although the weekend run had episodes from two seasons prior for a few weeks in September-October), but they're unrelated to each other, and the episodes are always scheduled such that a weekend episode isn't a repeat from the daytime run from the same week.
I have two stations airing "Jeopardy" so I didn't miss anything, but the NBC station joined the show in progress Tuesday night during the interview with the contestants.
I heard Trump spoke to the nation yesterday morning. I was in the car and heard ABC News and later NPR when the station with the ABC broadcasts was airing a basketball game. Actually, that was my music station too so I had to stay with the NPR station because that's all there is at night. I didn't hear what time any of those times but I'm wondering what shows were affected.

Congratulations on surviving such an ordeal.
At least there was no harsh, guitar-heavy, beat-driven music accompanying all that!
nothing much but WDAY (ABC Fargo), WDAZ (ABC Grand Forks), KBMY (ABC Bismark) and KMCY (ABC Minot) are pushing the 2 hours of E/I stuff they show on Saturday over to Sunday this week due to a 2 hour Bison pregame show (since NDSU is in the FCS Championship game)
The E/I that is normally on tomorrow from 9-11 is being moved to Sunday noon-2 and the rest is from 4-5
Also the NBC stations (all owned by Gray...KVLY Fargo/GF, KFYR Bismarck, KMOT Minot, KUMV Williston, KQCD Dickinson) also has a 90 minute pregame (9:30-11 CST) so they are showing the E/I sporadically over the weekend (9:30-11 Sunday and the others on Saturday Morning during open slots)

But that's why I was on NPR. That's what everything else would have been. I was just trying to make the point I don't necessarily get my news from NPR.
Way back in 2010 when Minnesota had the biggest Tornado outbreak in history ALL of the stations preempted early evening programming including the pre game show to Game 7 of the NBA finals that night on KSTP. None of the storms were actually in the Minneapolis DMA BUT in all of the rural communities had Minneapolis TV stations on their cable systems and the storms were headed for the Southern end of the DMA. I appreciated it even though I don't live there anymore I later found out people I knew were affected by the tornados including an EF-4 that killed 1 person(one of three deaths that day)
Sometimes EAS on cable defeats the purpose. I backed up during a 10:00 newscast when one of the many interruptions was over and I was sent to the Fox affiliate instead of the program I had recorded. I could see that the people were talking, and there was a weather radar on screen, but I got no information because all the audio at that time was coming from the EAS.
Even though my county was listed in two of the bulletins on EAS, there was no bad weather where I live. Some rain and some wind, but I didn't happen to be in the area affected.

well, on Friday, all DFW stations that cover the weather had to preempt local programming as Friday afternoon/evening there was a severe weather outbreak which resulted in numerous tornado warnings being issued which started to get really bad around 4:30 PM, forcing KDFW to interrupt Judge Judy while KXAS, KTVT and WFAA stayed with severe weather coverage at 5:30 instead of airing the network news programming, in fact it even cut into the 7 PM hour of the Friday prime time period they all joined the network's primetime programming already in progress when it died down a little bit, KDFW went to WWE SmackDown already in progress, which I sure made many WWE fans unhappy to have the show be joined in progress on DFW TV. it wasn't just TV too, on the radio side, WBAP interrupted normal programming numerous times to activate the EAS to relay to the other station as they are the primary EAS station in North Texas, in fact WBAP interrupted normal programming on Cumulus Sister Station KLIF to simicast live emergency breaking news coverage once Tarrant & Dallas County were under a tornado warning.
What about KTXA? What did they air at 6:30 if they weren't airing live coverage? They usually repeat KTVT's 6:00 newscast at 6:30, but if they just had a continuous broadcast, that wouldn't have made sense. Hawaii Five-O was moved to KTXA while KTVT continued coverage.
Tonight at 7 ET/6 CT is the Governor of Indiana's State of the State address. All Indiana-based PBS stations will be carrying it, and as per every year, at least one local affiliate in the Indianapolis market will be airing it as well. Last year, WTHR (NBC) aired it. This year, it will be on co-owned stations WTTV (CBS) and WXIN (FOX). WTTV is bumping one of two Big Bang Theory reruns to 2:07 AM, replacing DraftKings Sportsbook Report. WXIN only airs a local newscast at 7:00, so no programming changes there. The other Indiana markets are not carrying it outside of PBS.
they were simulcasting KTVT's live coverage at 6:30 Friday night, i was flipping back and forth through the local channels during Friday Night's severe weather outbreak, at least there was no Dallas Cowboys football game on to make a local station drop the ball on tornado outbreak coverage.
Tonight, ABC O&O WTVD in Raleigh is airing a "winter weather" special at 7:30, bumping Wheel of Fortune to 11.2 Live Well Network. For the first time, WOF on LWN is actually properly listed, instead of the usual LWN show. This special was also listed last Wednesday, but it didn't air; probably a last-minute delay.
Impeachment stuff is going on right now on all the major networks, but NBC affiliate KSDK in St. Louis is showing the regularly-scheduled Jeopardy! instead. Is this because 4:30 Central is typically not a news slot unlike 5:30 Eastern? During the first impeachment vote back on 12/18, they did not opt to air Wheel of Fortune over the coverage (not sure if they showed J! that day).
EDIT: The networks signed off around 5:48.

It depends on the station. A lot of stations are starting their news earlier in the afternoon. WREG CBS 3 in Memphis starts their newa st 4 PM, and WMC NBC 5 starts theirs at 3:30. I don't know if they had anything on the impeachment or not. But I'm not surprised if a lot of stations kept regular local programming on.
Two of NYC's affiliates began starting news at 4:00 not too long ago as well. Once Oprah ended, WABC began local news at 4:00 instead of 5:00. Ellen first aired on WNBC at 4:00, but a few years ago, it slid back to 3:00 so that news could begin at 4:00. WCBS still waits until 5:00; Judge Judy x 2 airs at 4:00 instead, and has ever since it moved there from WNYW/FOX, IIRC.
I caught a brief glimpse of KRQE Albquerque (CBS) which airs Dr. Phil at 5 ET/3 MT, and they were showing the impeachment coverage yesterday.

WCBS New York is airing the infamous Operation Smile infomercial tonight, pre-empting Entertainment Tonight Weekend, although its 11:00 PM repeat on sister WLNY is unaffected.
WFSB Hartford still has ET for tonight, but they will be airing the infomercial on Tuesday 1/28 at 7:00, pre-empting both Inside Edition and ET with no makegoods; neither show has a late-night or next-day encore in this market.
