Millionaire is in SD on WPMT in our market as well. WPMT made a big deal about their newscasts being the first to go HD, but other than network and their news, nothing else is in HD on there either.

Somebody must've read the board...WPMT has Millionaire in HD (or at least widescreen) as of this week

Here's one for Boston, although this probably isn't much. MyNetworkTV is moving to WSBK next Monday, and the following day is the last airing of both 5th Grader and Lyrics on MNTV.

In reply to the Odd Couple on WPIX: I wish it wasn't short lived, as I grew up watching Odd Couple reruns on that very station back in the 80s, paired up with the Honeymooners every night.

WPCW has been plugging Family Feud moving from the 2PM hour to the 7PM hour. Seeing as the aforementioned WPXI airs the J!/WoF combo at that time, it raised my eyebrow.

I noticed that myself and was a bit puzzled when I was looking thru the DVR and noticed it has been taping 3 shows a day. Getting the double run in the 2-3pm hour and then replaying the 2pm episode at 7pm.

Is there anywhere in the country where J! and Wheel are separated by more than four hours?
Meridian, Mississippi. Jeopardy! is on at 11 AM while Wheel airs at 6:30 PM.

You can add both Dallas/Ft. Worth and Little Rock, Arkansas to the J!/11A WoF/630P list.

Feud is back on the air in Philadelphia, with a double run airing at 12 noon on WCAU NBC 10.

KSFY in Sioux Falls has given their syndicated lineup a good shuffle. As of Monday, Jeopardy has been moved to 3:00pm from 4:30, the earliest it's ever aired around here, I think. Millionaire follows at 3:30; it had been at 4:00. Not only did the shows get moved back an hour, their places relative to each other have switched. Ellen moves up to 4:00, no longer having to compete with Oprah on KELO. I suspect the retirement of Oprah's talk show has affected schedules across the country.

Wheel of Fortune remains at 6:30 on KSFY, following the news. Wheel of Fortune always airs at 6:30 on KSFY, following the news, just like Entertainment Tonight always airs at 6:30 on KELO. I don't know what I'd do if that changed.

Not sure if someone mentioned it yet, but Family Feud has moved to the 2 o'clock hour in NY (WWOR My9).

What the hell is wrong with WPMT? They air Millionaire in HD but often forget to turn it back on after the commercials (guess there's some switch they have to flip back on). Get one segment in widescreen then after the commercial it's back to the black bars again.

I stand corrected on a previous post I made in this thread. I had said that last Tuesday was the final airing of 5th Grader and Lyrics on MNTV in the WSBK post, when in fact, tonight is.

For the St. Louis markets...

First-run shows

Wheel - 6:30 PM on KSDK-NBC-5 (same as it's been since at least 1983)

Jeopardy! - moves to 4:30 PM (current season) on KSDK-NBC-5 (first time it's moved since it started syndie in 1984)

Feud - 10:00 AM and 10:30 AM (double run) and re-ran again at 6:00PM and 6:30 PM on WRBU-MY-46 (same as last year)

Millionaire - moved to 2PM (current season) and 2:30 PM (previous season) on KPLR 11 (moved from 11am for the brand new talker, The Bill Cunningham Show)

Bumping this up to note a mid-season game show schedule change in Atlanta.

Gannett has opted to end its WOF/J! block on WATL (MyNet) after 2 1/2 seasons. J! is moving to Gannett's WXIA (NBC) at 7:30p ET beginning January 2. WOF remains on WATL at 7p, sandwiched between "Extra" (which was in the 7:30p slot on WXIA) and "Everybody Loves Raymond" reruns.

Ratings are a major reason for the switch. J!'s ratings in Atlanta fell from 5.4 in November 2010 to 3.8 last month. By comparison, "Extra" stood at 1.6.

WHDF - As of December, syndication and local commercials (I have yet to see any HD station promos, tho) are now in HD.

WAAY - Also as of December, nearly everything (except field footage within local newscasts, some commercials, and few syndicates shows) is in HD.

WZDX - Recently (in late July) upgraded local commercials/promos and syndication to 720p HD, in addition to live network feeds from Fox, ESPN Regional (SEC Network), and whoever runs the Tennessee Titans Network (preseason games); as of December, local news (provided by WAAY) is also now in HD.

With WHDF's HD upgrades, Millionaire is now aired in the Huntsville market in 1080i HD. Presumably, Feud will be shown as such next season, leaving only Wheel on WAFF still in 4:3 SD, barring any future HD upgrades the station makes.
