They preempted that for this?

WDIV did the same thing on a Saturday last January with a repeat of AGT, and they also replaced the penultimate episode of the latest season of Blindspot with WOF and Jeopardy! since they were pre-empted by a local special from 7-8 that day (WDIV no longer carries the Saturday repeats of Jeopardy!).
Besides TNF, two local pre-emptions for Jeopardy! tonight and three for Wheel of Fortune:
WLKY in Louisville, KY is airing the Kentucky Attorney General Debate from 7-8 Eastern. Just like WKYT Lexington did with last week's debate, WOF and Jeopardy! are bumped to the .2 sub, MeTV in this case, in place of M*A*S*H.
WBNS in Columbus, OH (CBS) is airing local sports program "Game Time with Ryan Day" tonight from 7-8, bumping Jeopardy! and WOF to 2:07 and 2:37 AM, respectively, replacing an infomercial and joining CBS Overnight News in progress.
WKRN in Nashville, TN (ABC), one of the worst offenders when it comes to pre-empting Wheel (Jeopardy! is on a different station), is pre-empting it tonight with one of their "News 2 Town Hall" specials, in which a local controversial topic or epidemic is discussed for half an hour. Wheel is bumped to 12:07 AM, sliding back The Mel Robbins Show and Extra half an hour, and dropping Right This Minute. WKRN pre-empted Wheel twice this week (the other being the weekly football show "The Mike Vrabel Show"), and seven times so far this season on weekdays. The weekend reruns air in random time slots on Sundays, usually in the afternoon, but sometimes late at night.

This coming Saturday ABC is going straight through again with college football runover or the scoreboard show running at 6 PM CT and picking up the next game at 6:30. Fox has the same thing with the afternoon game or scoreboard show running until 7 PM and then going to reruns of The Masked Singer instead of a night game, which is odd for them. WREG CBS 3 in Memphis and WBBJ 7.3 in Jackson, TN have local news scheduled at 6 PM but if the college game runs over again then that could be shortened or dropped. There is no college football game on NBC this weekend.
Pretty sure ABC will be doing that for the entire season, especially because back in August or September, WBBJ announced on Twitter that Weekend Wheel of Fortune would air on 7.3/CBS at 10:35 PM through December 7.
It makes sense since for ABC to run their college football schedule like this since they're running 3 games each Saturday. It also makes sense for Fox on the Saturdays when they have a night game, whether it's MLB baseball or college football. I'm actually surprised that they've had as many Saturday nights as they have this fall with no live sports.
Seems we got our answer to this tonight. The SEC game on CBS was at around 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter at 6:30, and the clock ran out at 6:56. The postgame show ran until 7:10-15. WCBS New York joined ET in progress at 7:16, and WBZ Boston began Wheel of Fortune during the third Toss-Up Round (now the Triple Toss-Up on new episodes). So it seems that in order for 7:00 Eastern programming to be seen in its entirety on CBS affiliates, the clock cannot run out any later than 6:45, as the postgame show has a minimum of 10-15 minutes. So basically, if there's more than 5 minutes on the clock in the fourth quarter at 6:30, don't count on this happening.
This is only the first time in the 2019-20 season that Weekend Wheel of Fortune (or Jeopardy!) got to be seen at all on CBS affiliates that schedule it at 7:00 Eastern, and I'm sure some affiliates that schedule news for 7:00 and a game show for 7:30 will just run the news until 8:00. The hour-long ET Weekend still has not been able to air in full on WCBS or WFSB.

new owner...different results in Mankato, MN
In situations like this week the former owner (United Communications) would have the news run in the slotted time (6-6:30). Gray runs the news for the full 30 minutes
meanwhile up the road O&O WCCO Minneapolis did a partial newscast (until 6:30)

you do realize 8 minutes in football time could be 15 minutes or 45 depending on the score and what each play was.
I know. That's why I figured when there was 8 minutes on the clock at 6:30, it was going to be a close call as to whether the clock and/or postgame would end before 7:00. Last week, the third quarter had just finished at 6:30, so it was obvious the game wouldn't end until after 7:00.
So I take it KEYC joined WOF in progress halfway through?
Forgot to mention that in Montana most of the season the national games OTA are pre-empted due to Montana Grizzlies or Montana State Bobcats games
Games are on ABC or FOX Montana in Western Montana. So as example (all times Mountain)
8/31 Griz game on ABC pre-empted Duke/Alabama (1PM start time)
9/7 Griz game on ABC pre-empted last half of LSU/Texas (nat'l game started 5:30 local time, Griz game at 7)
9/21 Griz game on FOX pre-empted last bit of Michigan/Wisconsin (10AM for nat'l game...1PM for Griz)
11/2 Griz game on ABC will pre-empt last half of ABC game (1:30 nat'l game...3PM for Griz)
9/7 Cats game on FOX pre-empts Buffalo/Penn State (6PM)
9/21 Cats game on ABC pre-empts Washington/BYU game (1PM)
9/28 Cats game on ABC pre-empts end of Northwestern/Wisco and starts of Clemson/NC (Cats game starts 1PM)
10/5 Cats game on ABC pre-empts Michigan State/Ohio State (Cats game starts 6PM)
10/26 Cats game on ABC will pre-empt Oklahoma/Kansas State & Penn St/Michigan (Cats game starts noon Mountain time)
11/16 Cats game on ABC will pre-empt afternoon and late game (Casts game starts at 5PM)
Eastern Montana the games are on SWX which is a subchannel on NBC. HOWEVER...KXGN Glendive (CBS/NBC) does not get SWX on cable so some games are carried on the CBS which pre-empts the SEC game (if the game gets done then they join the SEC game in progress).
The Cats games on 9/21, 9/28, and 10/26 for sure are carried.
The Griz game on 8/31 was carried. titantv shows on 11/2 1:30PM college football (SEC game) then at 3-7 "College Football"

Do ABC and/or Fox have regional choices at times on what afternoon college games will be carried, at least on some Saturdays? The reason I ask is because University of Memphis games will be on ABC in Memphis and Jackson, TN, and possibly other areas as well, and last year the Memphis/Central Florida game ran into OT and they talked about other ABC feeds joining them. The game ran past 6 PM CT, but it was one of the weekends they had overruns and the scoreboard show running until 6:30 and went into the next game.
Also on an earlier comment I made that there was no scheduled live sports last night on Fox, it looks like it would have made sense for last night's ALCS game to have been on the main Fox network instead of FS1. At least it was scheduled that way earlier. I was at my daughter's high school band competition so I didn't see how that went.

FOX games are nationwide
ABC does a "split" every now and then. One is carried on ABC and the other is on ESPN2. Week 4 (9/21) has been the only week so far.

Noticed that Jonesboro had one game and Memphis had the other
Memphis had a game on WMC earlier this year.
nope was on FS1...reruns of Masked Singer was on FOX last night
KGO reverted back to their previous post-game lineup. Sips with Spencer is gone, Jeopardy! slides back to 9:00, and Wheel returns in the 8:30 death slot where it has only aired once so far this season. Since last night's ABC game overran about 15 minutes, After the Game ran to 9:00 and Wheel did not air, but Jeopardy! did. For the brief period J! was in the 8:30 slot, it never got to air.
Still odd that they schedule Wheel first when J! comes first on the normal schedule. This was also the first weekend where the Jeopardy! rerun was from the 2018-19 season and not the 2017-18 season. They did not advance seasons at the same time the weekday episodes did, unlike Wheel. However, the other upcoming Saturday J! reruns are single random episodes, not champion streaks from first game to last game like they usually do, so there is no "continuity".
Thanks for the info and the map. If WMC carried a Memphis game it must have come from ESPN3 or some lesser cable channel. That might have been on another band competition weekend.
PIX 11 in NYC will have the 2nd of 4 Monday Night Football Games this season (Patriots vs. Jets). Those without On Demand will have to wait till Saturday 10/26 to see new episodes of All American and Black Lightning.
all the DFW locals except KXAS NBC 5 & KDFW Fox 4 preempted the final hour of prime time programing to cover severe weather in the DFW area, at the same time, Fox 4's primetime had already ended and they started their newscast, while NBC 5 stuck with the Cowboys/Eagles game and broke in during the ad break, luckly the storms didn't turn tornadic until it passed Tarrant county (AT&T Stadium in Arlington is in Tarrant County). they stayed on the air for hours until the second round of storms passed North Texas by 2 AM. it was a bad storm system.
In Boston, WCVB Is showing the Game. According to there website, Dancing with the Stars is moving to the MeTV subchannel when The Good Doctor will air early Tuesday Morning.
