They preempted that for this?

WDAF FOX 4 Kansas City announced that today's Jeopardy!, since it was pre-empted by Capitol coverage, will air at 6:30 PM Central, and Wheel of Fortune will be bumped to 11:00 PM, replacing TMZ. I imagine there will be other markets that pre-empted J! in the afternoon that will do this as well, given the circumstances this week. Not disagreeing with it, just pointing it out.

Since all programming was lost today on the Big Four from roughly 2:30-6:30 Eastern, I imagine many stations will make up lost local newscasts at 7:00 and/or 7:30. WSB in Atlanta normally delays World News Tonight to 7:00, but they're moving it live to 6:30 and adding a special local newscast at 7:00.
 
On the Prime Time Front tonight 1/6, only FOX is going forward with Entertainment Programming (The Masked Dancer, Name That Tune), everyone else is staying with coverage from DC.

Did the Fox network have any continuous coverage of the violence in DC at all today?
 
WTXF Philly (O&O) had coverage from about 2:30 all the way to 7:00. They cut in during Dr. Oz. They briefly switched off from the FOX News coverage at 5:00 for local news, but then switched back to FOX News by 5:30.
 
Both those networks dumped the entire primetime lineup. A lot of the West Coast affiliates are using the primetime hours to make up local newscasts or syndies. KABC and KGO both slid Jeopardy! and Wheel to 8:00 and 8:30.
 
Jimmy Kimmel Live reverted back to a 30 min format (a format they adopted during the pandemic that lasted until the return of the studio, but due to California going backto lockdown, he and the rest of the LA based late night shows are back to doing shows from home) so ABC News could extend Night line for more coverage of the terrorist coup d'etat attempt on Capital Hill by Trump ad his radical supporters.

KGO actually swapped the two (which they often do when they slide to primetime slots). Wheel was at 8:00, Jeopardy! at 8:30, and to fill the rest of the primetime void, two reruns of Shark Tank aired from 9-11.

If you now call it the "Big Five" (the Fox affiliate-based web is not really a news provider) of CBS, NBC, ABC, Telemundo and Univision, there are all five in continuous coverage now. By the way, Univision news often beats one or more of the "Big Three" of years gone by.

I don't know if this sort of thing is still being done, but on 9-11, the WB affiliate where I live was running "Drew Carey" as usual before joining CNN's coverage instead of regular programming. I didn't see what the CW station did but I did record their 10:00 news and I'll watch it later.

My newspaper's TV listings showed "The Price Is Right" on CBS so I set the TiVo to record it even though the TiVo listings said "Young Sheldon", and that is in fact what aired. "Jeopardy" aired as usual on my other CBS affiliate. At the time I set the TiVo to record, the NBC affiliate was still doing continuing coverage of events instead of "Wheel", and while I recorded "Jeopardy" I haven't seen what actually aired. I didn't have to, but I will. Later I turned on the TV and it was still on NBC, and the debate was happening.

I recorded "Name That Tune" and it aired as usual, with the ending of "Masked Dancer".

Also, reruns of "Young Sheldon" and "The Neighborhood" on CBS. I can't say what happened after that.

It appeared to be a different feed from the normal Fox News Channel, at least for the time I watched, although it did carry the name "Fox News" at the bottom.

I may have mentioned that one of my Fox affiliates did not have its 4:00 newscast which I normally record on Wednesday, and it said "Fox News". I just assumed that was the regular feed.
 
WDIV NBC 4 Detroit bumped Thursday's Wheel of Fortune to 3:30 AM (replacing an Inside Edition encore) to make up Wednesday's Jeopardy! at 7:00, double-running it with the current day's episode.

CBS pre-empted last night's new episode of the sitcom "Mom." Next week's episode is a rerun. The new episode that was supposed to air last night is now scheduled to air on Thursday January 21st.

They did the same thing for Young Sheldon, B Positive and Unicorn as well, airing reruns of all four.
