My neck of the woods (changes only, all the 19th):

Detroit: Millionaire moves from 9:30a/2:07a to noon (still WWJ), Family Feud disappears (although it looks like our schedule from WWJ has some holes for that day)
Toledo: Cash Cab moves from 11/11:30p to 11/11:30a (still on CW5)
Lansing: Family Feud moves from 8:30a/5p to 5/5:30p, Cash cab from 10a/2p to 1/1:30p (both still on WHTV), Millionaire to 5:30p on WILX
Flint: Family Feud moves from 11/11:30a to 2/2:30p(still on WEYI)

Lansing: Family Feud moves from 8:30a/5p to 5/5:30p, Cash cab from 10a/2p to 1/1:30p (both still on WHTV), still no Millionaire

Actually, Millionaire ends up with a pretty sweet time slot on one of the bigger channels.  It'll be at 5:30pm, leading into the popular newscast on WILX, the NBC affiliate.

Flint: Family Feud moves from 2/2:30p to 11/11:30a (still on WEYI)

Family Feud will actually be doing the opposite on September 12th, when it replaces The Real Housewives at 2 and 2:30pm.

WILX may want to give us their schedule then.

Awesome. I've been neglecting the Harvey series since it runs against Price. Glad to see them move back to its previous timeslot.

Millionaire is indeed now in HD.  We pulled it down at my station (no, I don't know what happens) at discovered this.

They didn't send their affiliate stations a heads-up in advance? "O hai, we're in HD this season, so if you need to adjust any dials or switches to broadcast us in HD, please do it. Kthxbye!"

[NickintheATL]

I'll look into that... I would hope that they did.

Portland, OR:

Jeopardy and Wheel stay at their usual 7 and 7:30 PM slot on KATU (still in glorious standard-definition!).

Unbe-friggin-lievable. The show's been in HD for what, 4 years now? Why are they still airing it in ugly 4:3?

I can speak for market 134, but market 22? That might be the largest market to still air W/J in SD.

They didn't send their affiliate stations a heads-up in advance? "O hai, we're in HD this season, so if you need to adjust any dials or switches to broadcast us in HD, please do it. Kthxbye!"

They didn't do a big ol' announcement, they probably just put it in the program distribution information and hoped we'd notice. I only noticed because when they sent the launch promos, they sent an SD feed and an HD feed ("HD content is not supported on this device." -- at least not ours.) We're not HD yet anyhow.

Family Feud will be in Cleveland, Steve Harvey's hometown.  It's on the move yet again, changing stations in some capacity for at least the 5th time in 12 years.  On Sep. 12, Feud moves to the 11 AM to Noon hour on WUAB-43, against fellow Clevelander Drew Carey.  There is no sign of Millionaire anywhere on the Northcoast.  I'll never know how Chad did.

5 times is not bad, compared to NYC, where NewsCorp moved it back and forth between its two owned stations and around timeslots I can't count how many times in the last 12 years!

Started out at 12:00 on WWOR, moved to 4:00, then to 2:00 on WNYW, then to 3:00 on WWOR, then to the same time on WNYW, then back to WWOR, then moved to 1:00 where it's been for the last 3 years.

This has been another...

Funny thing, the whole "Feud jumping around timeslots" trend in the Big Apple goes back to the Combs syndicated version, just realized that.

/Now you've got nothing on me in the "useless fact" category :-P

Let me see if I have this completely useless info correct for Cleveland...

1999-2000:  WOIO, 10 AM to 11 AM
2000-2001:  WOIO, either 10:00 AM or 10:30 AM, To Tell the Truth held the other time slot.  I don't recall a double run for this season unless it took the 9 AM or 9:30 AM slot.
2001-2002:  WOIO for half an hour, either 10 AM or 10:30 AM, WUAB at 12:30 PM or 1 PM.  Feud, Truth, and Card Sharks were a 90 min. block on WUAB from 12:30 PM to 2 PM.  After Truth and Sharks were cancelled, the 2nd Feud ep. may have gone back to WOIO to complete the hour, though it might have stayed on WUAB.
2002-2004:  WKYC, 2:05 AM to 3:05 AM
2004-2007:  WOIO, 10 AM to 11 AM
2007-2009:  WOIO, 9 AM and 10 AM, with Merv Griffin's Crosswords at 9:30 AM, and Temptation, then Trivial Pursuit: America Plays at 10:30 AM.
2009-2010:  WOIO, 9 AM to 10 AM
2010-2011:  WOIO, 9 AM and WUAB, 3:30 AM
Now:  WUAB, 11 AM to Noon

Nothing to add to any of the above... just wondering what a thread like this would've looked like if we'd had the GSF back in the mid 70's!

Oh, I remember that, John...I remember it was first on WNBC at 7:30 and eventually moved to WWOR where they aired it at 5:30, 4, 4:30, 5:00 AM (WTF), and after they dropped The New Price Is Right they finally cleared the full hour for Dawson's return, only to put it at 9 AM.

/Zach, get out of my body
//I remember one of the shows they paired Combs' Feud with was the Davidson Pyramid...it disappeared so quick that I wasn't even aware that it had a previous season that apparently, from what I was told, aired in the WNBC death slot that TJW and TTD 90 occupied
