They preempted that for this?

Last night, the big three networks interrupted their evening newscasts to air a special report on the Alaskan Summit which extended well into the 7PM ET hour signing off around 7:30 pre-empting Wheel in some markets.

The Boston market was no exception as Wheel was moved to WSBK while the main WBZ channel aired the special report.
"Jeopardy" was a rerun, fortunately.

The CW station had minor league baseball on Thursday but I think the Thursday shows are reruns.

Due to this afternoon's preseason NFL, at least in regards to ABC affiliates who are flagships of the teams playing (WEWS/Cleveland Browns, KTRK/Houston Texans, KABC/Los Angeles Rams), coverage of the Little League World Series will be joined in progress in Cleveland & Houston after the game & one-hour postgame. In L.A., it'll be seen on KABC's 7.2 subchannel as after the one-hour postgame, ABC7 will show an informercial followed by On the Red Carpet. At least SoCal viewers have an alternate option to see the LLWS unlike Cleveland & Houston based off looking at listings. Here in Arizona, KPHO (CBS/Phoenix) & KOLD (CBS/Tuscon) will show the start of the Stanford/Hawaii college football game, but will leave at 6:30 for coverage of the Raiders/Cardinals preseason game, it'll be relegated to CBSsports.com/app/Paramount+ due to KTVK showing Phoenix Rising FC soccer & Arizona's Family Sports simulcasting the preseason football.

Update for Phoenix, the 2nd half of Stanford/Hawaii will be televised on KTVK 3.3 subchannel per scroll during halftime. Good move so as not to force ppl to stream online.
 
Friday night High School Football is back on WHO 13 starting August 29 at 6:55-9pm.

They will join Dateline in progress at 9pm or after the game then air the original 2 hour episode at 2am. Happy's Place will air both their episodes on Saturday Night Early Sunday Morning at 12:02am and 12:32am.
 
Penn and teller and the question for gold (some special hosted by Dean Cain) were prime time programming (both reruns)
I hope the Dean Cain special wasn't something I would have wanted to see but I don't remember it airing the first time.

I do know he hosts some magic programs but if I'm not going to find out how it's done I'm not interested. Even if Penn is able to tell a magician using code how a trick was done, that's at least of some help. Penn knows the code will help those who really want to know how to do it.

But it's a disappointment to me if Penn (and Teller) can't figure it out. Sometimes Teller is the one but he doesn't talk so that we can hear.

I wonder if the CBS switchboard was lit up last night after football by disgruntled "60 Minutes" devotees who wondered why their beloved show was bumped entirely due to both the NFL overrun and the VMA Awards.
It's gonna happen again next Sunday with the Emmys & ppl will complain (since it's just a SH weekend for CBS) about pre-show and/or overrun for those areas getting Denver/Indianapolis or Carolina/Arizona at 4:05 ET bumping it off.
