They preempted that for this?

In Greensboro NC "Jeopardy" could not be shown at its normal time on its normal channel last night and I noticed that there is no CBS programming on Monday night so the same thing could be happening.

I have WCNC.
Little thing called the NCAA men’s basketball tournament ;)

first and second rounds are Friday through Monday this year (normally it’s Thursday through Sunday)
 
I turned the TV on last night to make sure I got enough shows deleted from my TiVo. I already knew there was a tornado warning for my county for reasons I mention below. Why I was on the ABC station I don't know but they had already started covering the weather instead of doing the national ABC News broadcast. I was relieved the station with "Jeopardy" was not doing the same thing. I had recorded one local station's newscast and they too did continuous weather coverage once this situation called for it, but the storm was all the way on the other end of my county, not moving toward me.

I had already checked to see what the low and high for the day were. TV stations won't do it in many cases and while looking for contact information to ask one station to do this, I found that the low and high are posted around 6 P.M. each day.
 
due to NCAA basketball tonight KEYC CBS Mankato (12-1) moved Wheel up from 6:30 to 3pm and then had "Heartland America" show at 3:30 which pre-empted Dr Phil

Phil runs at 9am on KEYC FOX Mankato (12-2) which now is the "first run" of the show

What if the day's low (or even the high, in the case of a warm front passing through by night) occurs after 6 p.m. and before midnight? All your preconceptions about daily temperatures must be shattered beyond repair now that I've mentioned this inconvenient truth! Sorry.
 
I will add, since we're documenting pre-emptions here, that on a CBS affiliate "Jeopardy" didn't record because of the NCAA Tournament and I heard there's a game tonight. I have another station from which I can record episodes. I can't speak for "Wheel" as I don't record that. Supposedly there are other CBS affiliates that this happened to.

Yes, and that's just one other thing that I can't get the TV stations to do anything about. We can start a topic if you'd like this explained.

The high and low are posted by the NWS for the reporting location, usually an airport.
