Do you know what teams were being aired that night to make the preemption out of knoxville?
Wheel of Fortune (but not Jeopardy!, of course...) was pre-empted by local specials on two affiliates last night: WPVI Philadelphia (ABC O&O) by "Philadelphia: The Great Experiment" (a series of PBS-like specials on the history of the city that airs sporadically throughout the year, but always in WOF's time slot on a weekday), and on WANE Fort Wayne (CBS) by a local news special on suicide awareness.
WJLA will be pre-empting ABC primetime on Monday to air a Monday Night Football simulcast for the Bears-Redskins game.
Maybe Wheel is just filler between the history documentary episodes. Wheel just had a different scheduled time slot for a day. It aired when it was scheduled.
Seriously, though, they just so happen to use the 7:30 slot to air the documentary. It's not like someone is sitting around wondering how they can give short shrift to Wheel but not Jeopardy.
KMSP did it again this week but it was just from 1-2pm which was a new episode of the Real
I see recently the FCC now allows E/I to be in the 6am hour which KMSP is doing for the other 2 hours. Running 1 hour each on Saturday and Sunday

The Maryville (TN) HS/Alcoa (TN) HS football game.
My listings didn't show anything about Downton Abbey.
KBJR Duluth, MN/Superior, WI (NBC) pre-empted Wheel of Fortune last night with a local special on the annual Farm Aid charity event. Wheel was bumped to its .3 MyTV sub at 8:00 PM Central due to a Women's College Volleyball game slotted from 6-8, pre-empting Numb3rs at 6. The double-run of CSI: Miami which is usually from 7-9, was slid back from 8:30-10:30, with The American Athlete as filler at 10:30. This all replaced Star Trek: Deep Space Nine at 9 and Star Trek: Voyager at 10.

My9 (KBJKR-DT3) shows lots of college and high school sports and carries H&I as a secondary affiliation (My Network is their primary) so this is normal.
But since the only reason its mentioned is because of WOF
Interesting what happens when there is a new owner to a station.
So KEYC CBS Mankato (my local CBS) usually during college football season if the game/postgame runs long they have news until 6:30 then the Wheel rerun. If it ran until 6:30 there was no news. This was under United Communications ownership. Now that Gray owns them (since March) today the game/postgame ran until 6:30 CDT. They showed the news in its entirety from 6:30-7.

As for the nighttime games, both of those overran as well. ABC signed off at 11:30 Eastern (roughly the same as last weekend), and CBS at 11:49, starting local newscasts late or joining syndies in progress. KABC LA lost the Jeopardy! rerun entirely and Wheel cut in during the first Toss-Up puzzle. KOMO Seattle ran an hour of local news until 9:30, but opted to slide back the Wheel and Jeopardy! reruns by half an hour rather than skip over Wheel. Presumably, the delayed Jeopardy! cut off half of a filler Nightline repeat so that the 11:00 news could start on time.
KRQE Albuquerque only had a 10-minute gap between the signoff and the local news. Their post-game schedule was Jeopardy! at 9:00, Wheel at 9:30, and local news at 10:00. Rather than stick to this schedule and join Wheel in progress, they instead showed the last 10 minutes of Jeopardy! and absolutely none of Wheel. Wow. They must really not like that show there... IMO, no reason to give that much priority to a year-old repeat of a random, regular game of J!. The returning champ on this weekend's rerun isn't even the same as the one from last weekend's.
That being said, WMAZ Macon (CBS) has temporarily moved the WOF reruns to J!'s time slot at 7:30 for CF season, with news at 7:00 and J! bumped to 11:35 PM, and if the first game runs long, the 7:00 newscast does not pre-empt WOF.

It seemed odd to me that Fox didn't have any sports last night and had reruns instead. I guess that was possibly because of CBS having a night SEC game. But uusually they had either college football or MLB baseball in September. It was also odd that they only had one game Saturday afternoon. Usually in September they would have an MLB game as well.
The Emmys air tonight so the game has to end on time. If there's not a national game on Fox, I happen to know the Panthers are playing a late game in Arizona without Cam Newton.
There are 2 late FOX games but they started at 3:05 CDT since FOX has the singleheader
The other game is Tampa and NY Giants
FOX MLB has been the past 2 Thursdays (9/12 & 9/19). They return this Saturday night for MLB
This past week FOX only had one broadcast window and that was the early game
their was a game on fox, giants/bucs and it ended later. missed field goal by tampa before emmys.
WJKT Fox 16 in Jackson, TN and WHBQ Fox 13 in Memphis didn't show a late game today so there may not have been a late game everywhere. But the actual Emmy awards show didn't start until 8 PM ET, and before that was the red carpet show which ire really no big loss. In any case the producers of awards shows should know far enough ahead of time what games are scheduled when and should be able to schedule their show at another time where there won't be a conflict. But that doesn't always happen and I guess even with the best plans some games could run over and cause a problem.
I heard that some ABC stations cut to news before the UCF-Pitt game was over. I'm guessing it was either a error or the automation messed up.
FOX was the singleheader network this week and these areas/markets had the late game
The Carolinas/Eastern Georgia, Roanoke, Kansas City and Arizona carried Carolina/Arizona
All of New York/New England, Baltimore, Cincy, Columbus, Indy, Atlanta and Tampa/Tallahassee/Orlando area had NYG/Tampa
Actually, where I live the Panthers game ended in time for nearly all of the Red Carpet special, something I didn't care about. So some people might not have been happy.
