three hours between J! and Wheel just feels wrong.

Try 5.5 hours, what we in Huntsville get (though it's not as bad as the 9 hours in the mid-90s; the time slot was 9AM - we were probably first in the whole USA to see it then).

Thanks to WTVR picking up "The Doctors" to air at the 10 AM timeslot, "Millionaire" and "Crosswords" will both not being airing in the Richmond, VA market this season.

Can anyone provide information on the Central Virginia market? Zap2it and Tv Guide are both still reporting last year's info on most of the stations. The market ranking is somewhere in the 180s I think, so I doubt anyone will know, but unfortunately Comcast no longer gives us access to the Richmond or DC stations.

According to Zap2it's Verizon Fios listing:

WTVR:
-Crosswords at 10:30 then TPiR.

WRIC:
-D/ND at 4pm
-Wheel at 7, I'm guessing Jeopardy at 7:30?

No word on TP or Millionaire, and the show's website doesn't show Richmond in the listings. Millionaire's site says WTVR at a time tba.

[quote name=\'WhammyPower\' post=\'196009\' date=\'Sep 3 2008, 10:30 PM\'] No word on Trivial Pursuit timing, but the site says Wiegel (WDJT/WMLW) bought it. [/quote]
UPDATE: TP is airing at 11:00PM and 3:00AM on WMLW.

Finally found TP in DC. Looks like WDCA-20 is going for a 3-hour GS block while the "big boys" are in Phil/Oprah/talk/news mode with:

3-4: TP
4-5: Feud
5-6: DoND

Interesting turnout in Central VA (Charlottesville area):

MyTV has Feud at 9 and 930, Millionaire at 10a, DOND at 1030, Crosswords at 11, and Box at 1130.

They also have Style by Jury at 130a.

What's odd is they are carrying all 3 of the "Daytime Plus" programs - is anywhere else doing this?

Additionally, they are airing the Millionaire eps from last season, and I haven't been able to discover another run of Millionaire in the area. Do any other affils air last season's program, without airing this season's? (Crosswords doesn't count.)

In Charlottesville, it looks like TPAP is on at 9:30AM starting Sept. 22 on MyCville. It may pop over to Channel 16 in the afternoon in one of the Feud slots too.

SwohS Emag · « **Reply #293 on:** September 11, 2008, 12:00:44 AM »

I think those afternoon listings for ABC (in Charlottesville) are erroneous - Tyra Banks and Bonnie Hunt occupy those 2 afternoon slots. Thus, my confusion on the reruns that air in Millionaire's only slot in the town (10 am).

"Trivial Pursuit: America Plays" will not be airing in the Richmond, VA market.

That 11a-12n hour there looks very much like a business decision. My guess is that the Gray Television quad-opoly (ABC 16/CBS 19/Fox 27 + Digital MyTV) is trying to protect their top-rated show of that hour, TPiR, on 19.

/probably the most fascinating TV market in the country right now, right there in north central Virginia
//nice area of the country, too

Thanks for the comment, VERY good point about TPIR that I hadn't thought about. Sorry to all to keep bumping this thread. Why is it the most interesting market - because of the election?

I still can't understand why they're airing LAST YEAR's Millionaire. I recorded it again today - maybe it was just an error for this week.

And I truly feel bad for the neighbor to the east, Richmond, which seems to have gotten the royal shaft in gs syndication this year.

Maybe you stumbled upon a second-run episode (with the old rules), with a first-run show seen in another time slot.

I need a Nelson laugh, stat.

TP: America Plays is on the MyNetwork affiliate at 8AM, single run.
The network has the weakest signal in the area.
The network is digital-only on cable, and has a number greater than pretty much anything that isn't pay-per-view.

A bit OT, but the market is interesting to me because only ten years ago there was only one NBC affiliate...now there's a full assortment of network stations.

EDIT: As I suspected, TP:AP will be on WLYH, the CW affiliate in our market, at 7p, next to DoND.
