Palm Springs NBC affiliate KMIR is airing NBC's primetime special "A Toast to 2019!" an hour early at 7:00 Pacific (and the following "NBC New Year's Eve Special 2020" at 9:00 instead of 10:00), pre-empting Jeopardy! and Wheel with no makegoods. This is to make room for the station's own local coverage of NYE celebrations, which lasts from 10-12:30. The second part of NBC's national NYE broadcast will then air an hour late at 12:30 AM (while everyone else is airing it at 11:30 ET/PT), with the Fallon/Meyers/Singh trio starting delayed at 1:30, which pre-empts Early Today. Because the talk shows start an hour later than usual tonight anyway, most NBC's are not airing the overnight encore of Hoda & Jenna.

They preempted that for this?
- Thread starter Stanislav
- Start date
In Mankato Ellen is being shown on KMNF NBC from 4:30-5:30. Noticed it as I was flipping through (screener shows it in guide..others dont). This pre-empts the 2nd episode of Judge Judy and 2nd episode of America Says (first episode is on KEYC-DT2 FOX)
I don't see Lily Singh in my listings. In my guide i show Fallon on at 11:30 (CST) then Seth from 12:32-1:32 then KARE (Minneapolis) News replay at 1:32. Mankato's KMNF signs off after Seth
(although I see Duluth KBJR carrying it...at least online it says that)
Singh is listed on both WNBC New York and WVIT Hartford at 2:32 Eastern. All three talk shows are repeats tonight.
The Rose Parade on both NBC and ABC, NHL on the former, and College Football on the latter, result in the following changes in NY and CT:
WNBC NY/WVIT CT: Ellen and both airings of Kelly are completely gone today. Access Daily is bumped to 2:37 AM, replacing the Kelly encore.
WABC NY: Only affected syndie is Rachael Ray. Not sure if it got moved to LWN or not.
WTNH CT: Dr. Phil at 3:00 and one of two Judge Judys at 4:00 are pre-empted. This station never moves shows at all; all pre-emptions keep regular programming as-is. However, Dr. Phil also airs on MyTV sister WCTX at 7:00 PM, although I'm not sure if this is an encore or a different episode.
The ABC game overran by 5 minutes. WABC NY started their news a bit late. On WLS Chicago, after several commercials and a teaser for the 4:00 news, Jeopardy! was JIP'd about 10 minutes in.
New Year's is also when New York's CW affiliate WPIX runs a marathon of mainstay program The Honeymooners (they've been carrying it for over 50 years) from 11 PM 12/31 to 5 PM 1/1. The following syndies are pre-empted in that timespan: Seinfeld x 2, The Goldbergs x 2, 2.5 Men x 2, Mom, Jerry Springer x 2, Mel Robbins, Maury x 2, Couples Court x 2, Judge Jerry x 2, DailyMailTV x 2, Steve Wilkos

Unlike the 6PM-7PM airing of Judge Judy x2, the 7PM feed of Dr. Phil is a same day repeat.
Over the past couple of weeks, CBS affiliate KTVQ in Billings, Montana has been airing a special on Western Security Bank's charity Hands of Hope. https://www.westernsecuritybank.com/hands-of-hope-television-special The first airing was on December 24 at 6:00, pre-empting Jeopardy! The second airing was December 25 at 5:30, replacing a local newscast. The third and final airing was tonight at 6:30, pre-empting Wheel of Fortune. Neither game show got a makegood.
All four of Montana's main CBS affiliates are under the same family and have identical programming, so it's rare to see any programming differences between one and the rest.

There is actually 5 CBS main stations in Montana. I'm sure you're forgetting KXGN Glendive which is not owned by Scripps (but does get newscasts from Billings)
But while they have the same syndicated programming, they do carry different newscasts/commercials and are separate stations.
Another "Buffalo Kickoff Live" special is airing tonight. Same story for WROC Rochester. WETM Elmira is airing the full hour this time, moving both Jeopardy! and Wheel to 18.2.
WIVB in Buffalo (CBS) is also carrying this edition, moving Wheel and Jeopardy! to CW sister WNLO, although they are still listed as Inside Edition and TMZ (those shows repeat overnight regardless - TMZ at 12:00 AM and IE at 12:30).
WSYR in Syracuse (ABC) is airing it as well, pre-empting Entertainment Tonight and IE. ET is bumped to 2:08 AM in place of Paid Programming. Unlike most stations, ET has no encore in this market. IE, however, does air twice per day - at 4:30 and 7:30 PM (not sure if the 4:30 one is the same day or encore of previous day), so it will only have one airing today. WSYR also pre-empts IE on a weekly basis during football season with local football program "Orange Nation", which typically airs on Thursdays and bumps the second airing of IE to one of the overnight Paid Programming slots. Because of Buffalo Kickoff Live, this week's episode is airing tomorrow instead, pre-empting the 7:30 airing of IE two days in a row. Syracuse does not carry IE's weekend edition.
Yesterday, ABC had NFL coverage from 2:00-7:35 PM Eastern, ending with the Bills/Texans game. The 7:35-8:00 slot was left to the affiliates to schedule locals, syndies, or news. Whatever they scheduled, it was all pre-empted thanks to overrun and the game going into overtime, even affecting ABC's repeat of "Brad Paisley Think He's Special". Most just scheduled the usual 7:30 ET/6:30 CT show in that slot (Wheel of Fortune in WABC's case, so it may have been JIP'd anyway even if the game did end on schedule). Some ABC's moved WOF or Jeopardy! instead of squeezing it in that time slot. WTNH New Haven put news in the 25-minute window, so both Jeopardy! and WOF were moved six hours early to the 1:00 PM hour.
Also, CBS is now scheduling NFL pregames at 7:30 ET/6:30 CT before their 8:00 Saturday games. Since this would cut the hour-long Entertainment Tonight Weekend on WCBS NY and WFSB Hartford, the former moved ET up to 5:00 PM and put the half-hour Inside Edition Weekend at 7:00 (moved from its usual slot of 2:35 AM Sunday), while the latter is just putting an infomerical at 7:00 and skipping ET. WBZ Boston moved both WOF and Jeopardy! early to 4:00/4:30 due to a local Pats pregame before CBS's yesterday; next Saturday has J! at 3:30 and WOF as-is at 7:00 (likely since the Pats are done).

Does this count?
KNDO/KNDU goofed up tonight in central Washington. Instead of what we should be seeing on Wheel (a Vanna-hosted episode) we're getting the 12/30/19 America's Game episode with Pat. This is NOT the only time this has happened recently. I believe they have aired the wrong episode at least 2-3 times in the past 2 years. I guess this is the quality you get in market #114.
Oh well, go spoil myself on the Buy a Vowel boards...

WFSB in Hartford is pre-empting Inside Edition and Entertainment Tonight for that stupid "Operation Smile" crap. Regular programming is listed on my COX On-Screen Guide. Also just proving that WFSB is run by idiots earlier in the evening they aired a promo for what was coming up tonight on Entertainment Tonight. Also a couple years ago WFSB stopped the late night rebroadcast of Entertainment Tonight.
If they do what they claim than Operation Smile is probably a good cause. But I'd think that the way they run their ads probably turns off a lot of viewers who don't want their regular shows interrupted. They need to go to shorter ads that would fit into regular programming.
Makes one wonder how soon before the air date that the Smile folks commandeer the time slot and get the $$$ to station management. Also makes on wonder how much of what is donated is plowed right back into buying more airtime for that infomercial on other stations.
WBBJ ABC 7 in Jackson, TN carried the regular episode of Jeopardy today, but for some odd reason WREG CBS 3 in Memphis carried an episode from last year's Teen Tournament. I guess there may have been some sort of technical problem.
The one WREG showed is actually the episode for the show's secondary feed, which most programming services list under the title "Daytime Jeopardy!". Does WREG carry both runs, or just the main run?
WBZ Boston aired the mayor's State of the City address tonight at 7:30. Of course, given how this station always shows favoritism to Jeopardy! over Wheel of Fortune, the former moved to the latter's 7:00 PM time slot, bumping WOF to 1:37 AM.
Also, due to the Iran air strike, part of prime access programming was affected on East Coast CBS and NBC stations.
Despite signing off CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News properly, both networks suddenly cut in at 7:00 and ran until roughly 7:09-10. WCBS aired the first couple seconds of Inside Edition's intro before the cut-in, while WNBC was still on commercials before Access Hollywood could start. 7:00 airings of Wheel of Fortune were JIP'd near the end of the second round. WCBS aired the rest of IE and ET as normal; no Operation Smile like in Hartford.
NBC cut in a second time around 7:55, cutting in during the Bonus Round for 7:30 airings of WOF.
I was out when all this was going on so I just skimmed through Clippit. AFAIK, ABC and FOX did not do any cut-ins.
