How's your fall schedule stacking up?

It's always great when your first post isn't really part of the main discussion, just a smartass comment thrown in.

First and only, as it turns out.  His second one proved that he really didn't want to belong to the group.

   10:30-11 am WKRC 12     Merv Griffin's Crosswords
   11-12 WKRC 12               Price is Right
   4-4:30 p.m. WKRC 12      WWTBAM (NEW TIME)

   7-7:30 p.m. WCPO 9        Wheel of Fortune (25th year on WCPO)
   7:30-8 p.m. WCPO 9        Jeopardy! (24th year)

   Sorry, nothing I saw for Temptation.

Well, drumming can often take up a lot of one's time, anyway.

Wrong. KNTV, channel 11. Which also picks up quite nicely over the air, thank you. They don't even NEED cable.

Hmmm... didn't see that one.  KNTV-11 wasn't the NBC affiliate on the cable at our hotel; it was KSBW-8 Salinas.  But I couldn't get KNTV over the air in Monterey-Bay Area signals were few and far between (a few UHFs was it).

I am due a heaping helping of crow. More detailed research than what I was able to do when you posted indicates that KNTV is indeed no longer on Monterey Comcast, and that they shut down their Loma Prieta transmitter when they moved to Mt. San Bruno and changed their focus to become the main NBC affiliate for San Francisco. Which means OTA is no longer an option. Suck.

So you're right...unless KSBW picks it up (and they have Wheel, Jeopardy, Oprah, and Dr. Phil, so why would they), no soup for the good people of the Central Coast.

Here's the schedule for Raleigh/Durham:

10:00am  WRDC  Temptation
10:30am  WRDC  Merv Griffin's Crosswords
11:00am  WRDC  Family Feud (double run) *
12:30pm WTVD  Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
7:00pm  WTVD  Jeopardy! (24th year on WTVD)
7:30pm  WTVD  Wheel of Fortune

*This one I don't understand at all because Feud is being pushed out of its noon slot for another courtroom show (Judge David Young, BAH!) and placed up against TPIR.  Whoever had the nerve to come up with that decision (especially since Drew is coming to Price in October) is either a game show hater or just plain ignorant; either way, they shouldn't be in the programming business at all based on that faux pas!

An update to Philadelphia... it appears Crosswords is on KYW (CBS) at 9:00 AM, with Family Feud to follow at 9:30 AM.

Temptation is on WTXF (FOX) at 3:00 AM.  Talk about burying the show...

Yes, they have no sense because they program one game show against another. Did it ever occur to you that not everyone watches The Price is Right? When I was in college, I occasionally got a "That show's still on?!" anytime I watched it in the office.

And maybe they wanted to put Feud against something other than newscasts, and perhaps they think it would compete better against another game show. That might be a stretch, but it's just one of many scenarios. I think they have more programming sense than you, once you take the fanb0i shades off.

That's not intended as a slam, but giving a game show an 11 am slot is not "ignorant"...you should be happy it even gets a daytime slot, considering I've seen overnite hours for some shows in this thread.

With WFMZ on cable and satellite in most of the Philadelphia DMA (and easy availability of adjacent markets in the suburbs), the sting would be lessened, yes? WTXF could be getting the show to hedge on the failure/underperformance of another show on top of Fox probably foisting the show on them.

Columbus, Mississippi: Po-dunk hick town.  Therefore, no Crosswords, and no Temptation.

Sucks for me.

Sucks for me, too.
Fact To Make You Feel Old: Just about every contestant who appears in a Price is Right Teen Week episode from here on out has only known a world where Drew Carey has been the host.

Green Bay:

10-11am TPIR - WFRV (CBS)
9:30am or 10:30am?? Crosswords - WACY (MyNetwork)
3-4pm Feud (double run) - WGBA (NBC)
3:30pm Temptation - WFRV (CBS)
4:30pm Millionaire - WBAY (ABC)
6:00pm J! - WLUK (FOX)
6:30pm Wheel - WLUK (FOX)

Crosswords is a strange one, as according to the Program Partners website, Green Bay was one of the last cities to get clearance.  I couldn't find it on any listings sites until today, where zap2it has it listed on WACY at 10:30am for the 10th-14th, and at 9:30am on the 17th, which is as far as the listings go.  I'm not sure if they're moving the show after one week or one if the 9:30 listing is an error.

Since CW Plus is a 24/7 turnkey network (the local broadcast partner and/or cable system only insert local ads and IDs), "Temptation" will be on all CW Plus channels--and is exclusive to the CW Plus channel in each market, as are all syndicated programs airing on CW Plus.

Kenbob:

While trying to find a local airing, I came across something that should help you out: It appears WCBI has a digital CW Plus channel (4.3), and the listings on Yahoo! and WCBI's website show Temptation airing there at 10 a.m. Monday. Time to get that digital TV!

Alas, no Temptation or Crosswords for me from the stations in Memphis, Tupelo or Jackson, Tenn.
