Thats interesting. In other markets I have been to, the shows were on the air back to back on the same channel.<P ID="signature">______________

Is Allbritton planning to remove Wheel and Jeopardy! on all
its stations? WSET/13 Roanoke/Lynchburg is an Allbritton
station, as is KTUL. Apparently that leaves only WJLA/7
Washington, DC, and KATV/7 Little Rock as the only Allbritton
stations carrying them both; WCFT/33 and WJSU/40 Birmingham/
Anniston/Tuscaloosa carry Wheel only.

WKYT/27 Lexington, KY has just started daily reruns of last
season's shows at 1 PM, with new episodes at 7:30. Interestingly,
they also carry Jeopardy! on Saturdays at 7:30.

WKYT, a CBS affiliate, does an hour of news at noon, then runs
Young And The Restless on a one-day delay at 9 AM. Jeopardy!
fills the half-hour until Bold And The Beautiful and the rest
of the CBS soap block (As The World Turns, Guiding Light) begin
at 1:30.
