Wheel of Fortune needs a new Boston affiliate

I feel like all these pre-emptions and delays of Wheel of Fortune have been getting out of hand. It was bad enough not having it on Friday night with Patriots All Access, but now it's also true on Thursday night with the stupid Thursday Night Football on CBS. And I really don't know why they have to push Wheel to the wee hours and then put Jeopardy! on in Wheel's normal 7pm timeslot. So I really think that Wheel and/or J! need to move to a different station. I say "and/or" because there are some markets where they don't air on the same station, and I think usually if they air on different stations, they're sister stations.

I know that WBZ in Boston is one of only 3 CBS O&Os that air Wheel, and I think it's THE only one that airs Jeopardy! The other 2 being KTVT Dallas and WCCO Minneapolis, and in both of those cities, J! is on a different station, though I think it's the sister station in Dallas.

But anyway, I think that if this were to be the case in Boston, they should keep Jeopardy! on at 7pm on WBZ like it is on Thursday nights so it won't be affected by football, and then air Wheel on sister station MyTV38. Both shows aired on that station for awhile, until 2009 because they figured that they appeal to a slightly older audience than the reset of the TV38 programming, and they belong more on WBZ.
 
Today is the last week for Thursday Night Football on CBS. Was only for the first 8 weeks.

Also WTNH in Connecticut airs Jeopardy before Wheel of Fortune.
