[rodroddyfan]

Apparently tonight, in the central and eastern time zones, if your affiliate airs wheel at 6:30 cst, it will be pre-empted for obamas speech from afghanistan.

Lucky for me, WOF airs at 7:30pm in my area.

What time zone are you in? If you're in the Eastern Time Zone, wouldn't it be more like unlucky?

Anyway, I'm in the Eastern Time Zone, but I'm in a market where Wheel airs at 7pm followed by Jeopardy! at 7:30pm on a normal night, so where I live, it will be Jeopardy! that is preempted for Obama's address.

Lucky for me, I live on the West Coast. Unlucky for me - no 5:00pm newscast

Oops. My bad.

Well, so far, knock on wood, my affiliate has not pre-empted for the babbler.

I was hoping the preemption would be over in time for the Prize Puzzle, but of course ABC News had to analyze the President's words as if I was deaf for the last 10 minutes.

Oh well.

It was over for me at around 7:40 PM. So I missed all of the Jeopardy round and the first 5 clues of the Double Jeopardy round but that was it.

[rodroddyfan]

Well thankfully for me, it was not pre-empted at all.

Here in Hampton Roads, viewers only saw the last quarter or so of the Double Jeopardy round (I don't know exactly how many clues, but I do recall both Daily Doubles in that round were seen here) and Final Jeopardy.

Speaking of WoF, I learned that CBC (who carries it here in Canada) will no longer be airing it or Jeopardy due to recent government budget cuts within the network
