Here in Savannah, GA "Jeopardy!" (and I assume "Wheel of Fortune") will be leaving WJCL, our ABC affiliate and moving to WSAV, our NBC affiliate. This is pretty big as WJCL has had both game shows for more than a decade. I first noticed this during a commercial. This will begin September 12th.

Anything similar happening in your area?<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by FilmCritic3000 on 08/15/05 12:41 PM.</FONT></P>

I saw yesterday that in Memphis Friends reruns are moving from WHBQ Fox 13 to WPTY ABC 24.

I suppose one of the biggest changes is in Dallas/Ft. Worth:
Wheel and Jeopardy! are moving from WFAA/8 (ABC) to KTVT/11
(CBS) Sept. 12. The two game shows had been on Channel 8
since the late '80s, at least. Entertainment Tonight will
replace Wheel at 6:30 (Central), but I don't know what 8
will put in place of Jeopardy!

"The Insider", perhaps. I know of at least one station (WLIO/Lima, OH) that airs the shows in th at order.<P ID="signature">______________

I was told that KTVT will start airing a 9AM newscast (in favor of a 4PM newscast) and 'Millionaire' will move from KTVT to WFAA to cover the time slot left of 'Jeopardy.'<P ID="signature">______________

In Los Angeles, Dr. Phil is moving from KNBC to KCBS starting on September 19 (I believe), and it still retain its 4pm time slot. KNBC gets the new Martha Stewart show at 3pm, and moves Ellen Degeneres to 4pm. Dr. Phil is moving to the CBS O&Os that don't currently carry his show, all within the next year, except probably San Francisco and one other market.

Rockford: Inside Edition is moving from WREX to WTVO in the fall.

Milwaukee: I heard a rumor (no details on it, though) that J! and Wheel are moving from WTMJ-TV to WDJT.

Yes, this is true. The debut is 9/12 starting at 6:00pm with Jeopardy followed by Wheel.

Yes. WBXI, the local WB affiliate is losing Ellen Degeneres' show, as it is being moved over to their sister station WBNG (CBS aff.). No other major changes have been advertised locally, as of yet, but there were some switches last fall that were handled very quietly, so it's a wait-and-see situation.

So what's TMJ filling with?

Also, isn't it weird for a CT station to have J! and Wheel @ 6 and 6:30? Most run 3:30/4:30 and 6:30, or before and after the news block.

In Little Rock

Ellen will be moving to its third station in three years to KTHV (previously KARK, and KLRT) and taking on Oprah (KATV)@ 4pm head to head....can anybody say death wish

Martha Stewart's new show will be on KATV in the 3pm time slot opposite Dr Phil on KTHV

Figured the first tier syndicated programs will shy away from Nexstar BG since they plan another front on the cable-carriage wars. Judge Judy and Montel appear to stay put on KARK.

Could this be true? Could we have a another battle on who'll claim the title of 4PM? This could very well be interesting. In case you don't know, JUDGE JUDY and (in some areas) JERRY SPRINGER airs at 4PM (eastern time) in most markets against OPRAH as well (depending on market). Maybe we could see a ratings fatal-4-way for 4PM! I never knew that ELLEN's popularity would be this huge. In my area (Pittsburgh), ELLEN currently airs on WPXI-11 (NBC) at 10AM against DR. PHIL on WTAE-4 (ABC)(OPRAH airs on WTAE-4 at 4PM). Could Ch. 11 switch ELLEN and JUDGE JUDY (currently at 4PM) in the fall?

Please note: I mentioned ELLEN, JUDGE JUDY and JERRY SPRINGER because they are among the top daytime syndies that are really closing in on that coveted 4PM time slot, and, OPRAH is still dominant!
