They preempted that for this?

Is FOX finding another game to air on Thursday? 7:30 is still listed as pre-empted with pregame, and the game is now listed as "Teams TBA".

no. The game (KC/Buffalo) got moved to Monday and will be shown on FOX.

Game 1 is on FOX tonight. 6:30 pregame 7pm CDT game

Look for it to be Game 4 of the NLCS.

On that note, according to listings WJZY is preempting Big Bang Theory completely tonight to air the NLCS Game 1 pregame at 7:30. Considering TMZ already airs the same episodes two other times and BBT is a sitcom that doesn’t need any episodes skipped they really should air BBT at 7. Extra, TMZ, Access Hollywood and Dish Nation will follow after the game tonight.
 
Since KABC carried the Chargers MNF game last night from 5-8 PM Pacific, Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune are airing in first-run from Tuesday-Saturday this week. The shows even made special promos for this move that KABC has been posting on their social media. Makes sense they want to put the word out more than usual since all the contestants are SoCal locals.

Jeopardy! is simply airing a day behind every other market so as to not disrupt the flow of champions. Wheel, however, is rearranging the order a bit. Monday's episode last night (which ended up being pre-empted on most FOX's) featured a $100,000 Bonus Round win, the first in almost two years. KABC is delaying this episode to Friday, with Friday's actual episode airing Saturday, and Tuesday-Thursday's episodes on the same days as everyone else.

Saturday's Jeopardy! and Wheel air at 9:00 and 9:30 PM Pacific. This is after local news, but it never runs past 9:00 even when CFB overruns >30 minutes. KABC will not be airing their previous-season weekend runs this week.
 
Monday night's Kentucky Senate Debate aired live on all Gray-owned stations based in or near the state (except WSAZ in Charleston, WV), from 7-8 PM Eastern.

This includes WXIX FOX 19 in Cincinnati, but because of NLCS, it was forced to air at 1:00 AM. Wheel of Fortune remained at 7:00 and Jeopardy!, which would normally be bumped to 1:05, slid to 2:00 following the debate.

WBKO 13 in Bowling Green aired it on both 13.1 ABC and 13.2 FOX, pre-empting the FOX MLB pregame show entirely.
 
NFL overran to 11:03, so FBI and everything afterwards slid back accordingly on the East Coast. Colbert started at 11:38 Eastern. On the West Coast, whatever show was after NFL (or FBI if they scheduled that immediately after, as the Mountain Time Zone did) was JIP'd.

You mean 10:03, not 11:03 ;)

And that it is. That means there are three pre-emptions this week alone for 7:30 PM ET programming on FOX affiliates. Friday's WWE SmackDown is preceded by a kickoff special at 7:30 ET/PT and 6:30 CT/MT/Hawaii.

yup because its the "season premiere" (even though WWE is a 52 week "series") ;)
