I always felt J was the better lead out from national news, as it is a more serious show than WOF, which is a good lead-in to primetime entertainment.
That's sort of how it is here in the Huntsville/Decatur market.
Jeopardy! airs on WAAY-ABC-31 at 6PM right after
World News with Diane Sawyer, albeit against the 6:00 newscasts on WHNT-CBS-19 and WAFF-NBC-48, while
Wheel airs at 6:30PM on WAFF (WAAY leads into ABC primetime with
Entertainment Tonight, while WHNT leads in to CBS primetime with
Millionaire).
