From the Quad-Cities of Iowa and Illinois (a missed $25K question on yesterday's WWTBAM rerun):

WHBF-4 (CBS): TP:AP at 11 a.m. and DOND at 3 p.m. (DOND replaces one run of FF; the other remains at 3:30).
WBQD-26 (My): MGC reruns move to 8:30 a.m. (Double run of Family Court at 4 replaces Rossi; double run of That '70s Show at 5 replaces MGC)

KWQC-6 (NBC): Keeps the double run of WWTBAM at 11, J! at 4 and WOF at 6:30.

The only thing missing is Out of the Box...

For Milwaukee, we now know the new WMLW scheduling:

Family Feud: 7:00pm and 7:30pm
Millionaire: 8:00pm and 8:30pm
Crosswords: 9:30pm
J! - 10:30pm (second run)

No word on Trivial Pursuit timing, but the site says Wiegel (WDJT/WMLW) bought it.

A perk of working in master control is you get to see stuff before it airs. A few impressions on the new season:

DoND: Much faster-paced than the nighttime version. Moves at a nice clip. No family brought in, no gimmickry, just game.

Jeopardy: They re-arranged the theme! Sounds more --- I don't want to say laid-back, but maybe less pompous, if the older one was at all. Rearranged the think music, too -- third ever IIRC.

Wheel: Only change from season 25 is the addition of the million-dollar wedge, which works exactly as reported. And the removal of that "25" space too.

Maybe it's just me, but I think it's about time they re-arranged the set too.  The current one has grated at my nerves since the day it debuted.  It looks like they took the '90s checkerboard set, threw out the checkerboards, tore up some cardboard boxes and glued the scraps to the wall.  Ick.

Judging by the time period pattern of J! set overhauls, I'd say we're about past-due for one.  The first one lasted a year, the second one lasted 6 years, the third lasted about 6 more(?), the sushi bar lasted about 5, and this current one (save for podiums) is going into its seventh season.  I'm hoping we see an overhaul either next season or sometime during this one.

Other way around. The last two sets debuted in November of their respective years. Would be nice to get a new set this upcoming season.

/The checkerboard set still looks awesome 17 years later

I'm gonna throw this out there:

This is one of the most content-heavy half-hours in the field right now. Who gives a rat's ass what the set looks like?

I mean, really, "grated at my nerves?" Really? I care about three things, set-wise, when I'm watching Jeopardy:

a) The board is large and easy to read.
b) The podiums display the scores clearly.
c) It is easy to discern who buzzed in.

They had a problem with © for a little while, but they seem to have fixed that. But I am NOT looking at the backdrops and saying "ugh. What's happening over on The Insider?"

I think it's the most content-heavy in the field now.  Millionaire's gonna come closer this year, but still won't average ~58 questions a show.

The new think cue will be interesting.  The first one was solid, I liked the intermediary second one (the one with the piano second-half), the current is good enough.

What about the Big Money wedge?  I thought they were tossing that as well.

Also, I found out yesterday that WREX is moving Jeopardy! back an hour to 3:30.  Presumably to give "The Doctors" a cleaner time slot (4-5) against Oprah, and it also completes the game show block they're building with Millionaire, TP, and Deal.  Still, three hours between J! and Wheel just feels wrong.

Is Oprah allowing "The Doctors" to compete against her directly? She doesn't let Phil do that.

Update on the fall schedule for Atlanta...

WOF: 7pm on WATL (MyNet)
J!: 7:30p on WATL (MyNet)

Same as last year for both

DoND: 4:30p on WXIA (NBC)/6:30p on WATL for, according to TitanTV, digital users only (those using rabbit ears will apparently get "According to Jim" repeats.  That's according to TitanTV, not me)

TP:AP: 1-2p on WPCH (Peachtree TV -- Time Warner-owned indy that used to be WTBS)

WWTBAM: 4p (new episodes) and 12:30p (last season's episodes) on WXIA

FF: 12-1p on WPCH (new time slot and channel from last season.  Aired last season on WATL from 1-2p.  WATL has opted to extend its "Apocalypse Block" (nothing but Springer, Povich, Wilkos and Cheaters) to EIGHT HOURS -- nothing but these four shows from 9-5p.

At this point, it appears we won't be receiving Best of Crosswords/Inside the Box
