So, last night, I was actually able to find hidden recordings on TV News Archive. So that means I'm probably going to able to find the mystery of some of these airings.

They preempted that for this?
- Thread starter Stanislav
- Start date
Just the Big Three, plus New York's CW.
NYC:
WCBS CBS 2: Inside Edition and Entertainment Tonight are bumped to 2:07 and 2:37 AM, both Paid Programming slots. Inside Edition is also currently re-airing the following day at noon until WCBS decides it's safe to do noon newscasts again. ET re-airs on indie sister WLNY 10/55 at midnight.
WNBC NBC 4: Access Hollywood is pre-empted entirely. All Access at 7:30 is still being pre-empted daily by encores of NBC Nightly News.
WABC ABC 7: Jeopardy! is bumped to 3:05 AM. Wheel of Fortune, despite traditionally airing second, is bumped earlier to 1:07 AM (as was the case when it was pre-empted by World News Tonight encores last week), replacing Jeopardy!'s secondary run, which is bumped to 3:35 AM after the main run. The back-to-back J!'s replace ABC World News Now.
WPIX CW 11: Two episodes of black-ish are bumped to 3:00 and 3:30 AM, pre-empting True Crime Files entirely.
PHL:
KYW CBS 3: Inside Edition and Entertainment Tonight are bumped to 2:07 and 2:37 AM, replacing a repeat of the 11:00 news and Paid Programming. Neither show's second airings are carried here.
WPVI ABC 6: Wheel of Fortune is bumped to 2:37 AM, replacing part of ABC World News Now. Strangely, Wednesday's episode of Jeopardy! is not listed at all. Neither show's Friday episode is listed at all, either, due to the NFL Draft.
WCAU NBC 10: 7:00 is news. Access Hollywood is pre-empted entirely.
New plan for WPVI.
Jeopardy! and Wheel are getting the one-day delay treatment starting tomorrow. Wednesday's eps on Thursday night, Thursday's eps at 2:07 and 2:37 AM Saturday (replacing Tamron Hall encore), and Friday's eps Saturday night in their usual time slots, resulting in a rare Saturday night airing for Jeopardy! on WPVI (they do carry Saturday's run of Wheel, but not J!; Wheel's Saturday rerun this week presumably won't air).
A couple other stations joined in on the Jersey 4 Jersey broadcast as well:
WWOR My 9 NYC: Family Feud's A and B runs (both new right now) were pre-empted entirely, but were still listed. FOX sister WNYW did not air the concert.
WTXF FOX 29 Philly: Extra and TMZ were pre-empted, but they repeat anyway at 3:00 AM and 11:30 PM.

I checked Spectrum's schedule for both WHBQ in Memphis and WJKT in Jackson, TN and it showed nothing but infomercials or TBA for both again this weekend. I know now that isn't reliable so I also checked Titan TV, which listed WJKT showing all the scheduled sports on Fox and WHBQ showing infomercials and syndicated programming instead, but I don't know how accurate this is. If anyone else in the Memphis area reads this, please post what WHBQ actually is doing on these "optional" weekends on Fox. Thanks.
one minor correction. On Sunday technically scheduled at 1:30 is a 30 minute version of the 1979 Daytona 500. But since the eNASCAR usually runs over I did not mention that
WABC was a total mess overnight.
A local man from West Hurley, NY was a contestant on Friday's Wheel of Fortune. WOF was listed to air at 1:37 AM following the encore of Kimmel. Because of the Draft overrun, everything following it was pushed back, but it appears most ABC stations played catch-up just after 2:00 when Kimmel finished. WABC skipped Wheel and went to the Tamron Hall encore which was scheduled for 2:07. Then, at 3:00 on the dot, Tamron was cut off so they could air WOF, but it was the Saturday rerun instead of Friday's episode. 3:05 was meant to be Friday's primary Jeopardy! and 3:35 a Jeopardy! rerun. The former was skipped, and the latter aired at 3:30, and the schedule was normal for the rest of the morning. So as of now, Friday's episodes of J! and WOF did not hit the NYC airwaves at all.
Also, over in Philly on WPVI, J! was scheduled for 1:37 and WOF for 2:07. After the late Kimmel encore, J! was skipped straight to WOF. Both shows in question were the Thursday episodes since they're still delayed from the Jersey 4 Jersey pre-emption, with both Friday episodes scheduled for tonight after the Draft, provided it doesn't run over.
The WOF contestant's "Hometown Howdy" (localized promos that individual contestants make for their home markets) aired on WABC this morning, so it seems they swapped Friday and Saturday's episodes for the sake of the local, but it's scheduled immediately after a local newscast makeup at 7:00 after the Draft, which they will run for 30 minutes even if the Draft overruns (which it did on Thursday and Friday), so it is unknown what they will do with the episode if anything should that happen. (Saturday's Jeopardy! is bumped to 5:00 AM Sunday)

This past Friday (4/24), due to the NFL Draft overrunning its time slot, KABC channel 7 in Los Angeles JIP’d Jeopardy! about four minutes into the Jeopardy! round. All of Double Jeopardy! was seen, then after the last commercial break, the first minute or so of Double Jeopardy! was re-shown; thus resulting in an accidental preemption of the Final Jeopardy! round. Did anyone else see that last part happen on other stations?
I haven't checked to see if the new SNL recorded but I lost the classic one. Anyone know what it was? I've seen it if it was from the 2013-14 season or later, after they started showing an hour-long version of the previous week's episode every week (after which I realized I could just record the new one), but not from after that.
There was a new tornado warning every few minutes and whatever I was watching that I had recorded, it was constantly being interrupted by EAS. Spectrum is able to take control of my TiVo whenever they do this.
What is really annoying is they did this for a severe thunderstorm warning for my county (when worse things were happening elsewhere in the viewing area) when the man actually stated it was located in another county, a county which was north of my county when the storm was moving northeast. Is it possible that's the county that should have been warned? Where I live, almost on the border between those counties, it wasn't bad at all. And judging from the radar, the worst of it wasn't heading into my county.

It was the Chadwick Boseman/Cardi B episode from April 7, 2018.
Saturday's broadcast of the Draft overran to 7:15. WABC began local news immediately after it signed off, then Friday's episode of Wheel of Fortune was JIP'd at 7:45, so the local contestant only got to see half of his episode in the end. This was also the case on fellow O&O WTVD in Raleigh.
WPVI in Philadelphia and WFTV Orlando both JIP'd Friday's episode of Jeopardy! and showed Friday's WOF in full.
WVEC in Norfolk and WJLA in DC also showed Friday's game show episodes on Saturday, with WOF being the one JIP'd since they air it first and did not schedule local news for 7:00.

I was working again yesterday and didn't get to check what happened with Fox sports programming on WHBQ and WJKT, but I believe that the schedules on Titan TV were probably correct with WJKT showing all the Fox sports schedule and WHBQ showing infomercials.
I recently removed another cable tuner in my house and went to using Roku and Fire TV instead (Only one tuner left before going completely to cord cutting!), so I switched to Spectrum's Roku app for that set. I found out WHBQ wasn't blacked out on the Roku and sure enough they're showing infomercials instead of the Super Bowl replay while WJKT is actually showing the game.
I know according to the schedule apparently WHBQ might have showed some of the "optional" sports programming last week but in most cases they are apparently showing infonercials. I've ranted about WREG running infomercials on non-sports times, but they do show sports when it's available. But to me WHBQ is even worse because they're using Fox's sports programming being optional as an excuse to run infomercials. That's why I believe Fox's sports programming shouldn't be optional.
Do contestants get a digital or DVD copy of their appearance on the show sent to them after it airs? I'm sure there have been many cases where folks missed getting to watch their episode because of severe weather or other breaking news.
If the contestant asks, then they sometimes do, but they have to pay $75 (there's one known instance of a contestant getting one for free because everything except for the Bonus Round, which the contestant did not make it to, was preempted on his local station because of Game 4 of the 2016 NBA Finals and he is from the West Coast), but they obviously have to sign a waiver saying not to post footage of the episode online, according to a former contestant on Buy a Vowel (a Wheel fan forum).
The only form of copies the shows will give to contestants is a standard-definition DVD. The footage is windowboxed 480p (for HD episodes) and the commercial breaks are replaced with two minutes of black screens and silence. You're probably better off just ripping bootleg YouTube videos. It's definitely not worth the $75. Better to invest in a capture device and record it yourself.
Contestants are entitled to a free DVD master if their episode was pre-empted in part or in full in their home market and the station will not make it up. (The example mentioned above was on KOMO in Seattle; that NBA game overran and they scheduled WOF immediately afterwards, and refused to re-air that episode. Nowadays, they just push the show back if sports overrun and almost-always air it from the beginning, though WOF and Jeopardy! did not air at all on KOMO last Friday). Earlier this year, one contestant's home station, WBFF in Baltimore, accidentally pre-empted his episode with a repeat of the previous day's episode. WOF worked with them to arrange for the episode to properly air the following Saturday (they air the weekend version on Sundays on sister WNUV/CW). In this instance, since the whole week is over now, WABC probably won't be able to do anything. And since WOF does not have a second run like other syndicated shows, it is basically a random chance if this particular episode will rerun or not in the future.

WNYW showed the usual infomercials on Saturday until 2:30, followed by two movies: "March of the Penguins" from 2:30-4:00, then "Changing Lanes" from 4:00-6:00. Sunday was infomercials and SBXXXI.
So would they still get a free copy if they replayed the episode on game show network or ABC?
Most likely. But GSN does not air Wheel of Fortune anymore. And when they do, they're episodes from several years prior.
