2013-14 station/time slot change thread

[Tony Peters]

As I posted in the http://www.gameshowforum.org/index.php?showtopic=24790&page=7#entry314795\'>Schedule Thread, there are no changes from last season in the Huntsville-Decatur-Florence, AL (#79) DMA, other than Millionaire\'s double run changing from current-season/previous-season to both current-season due to the host change.

 

Because the search function still doesn\'t work right (AFAIK, anyone else tried lately?), I shall reproduce the game show schedule here:

 

WHDF-CW-15

4:00PM - Who Wants To Be a Millionaire (double run)

1:30AM - Baggage

 

WHNT-CBS-19

9:00AM - Let\'s Make a Deal

10:00AM - The Price is Right

 

WAAY-ABC-31

4:30PM - Jeopardy! (previous season)

6:00PM - Jeopardy! (current season)

 

WAFF-NBC-48

6:30 - Wheel of Fortune (still being aired in 4:3 SD seven years after the show converted to HD production, while ALL COMPETING STATIONS air ALL their HD-produced syndie shows in HD!  Damn cheap Raycom...)

 

WZDX-Fox-54

3:00 - Family Feud (double run)

Anything created since we moved away from Invision\'s hosting searches just fine.

No changes here in the Des Moines area.

 

WHO 13 (NBC): Double Run Jeopardy (3:00 PM and 3:30 PM), Wheel of Fortune (6:30 PM)

KDSM 17 (FOX): Double Run Family Feud (4:00 PM and 4:30 PM)

 

Millionaire is without a station for a second consecutive season.

WAFF-NBC-48

6:30 - Wheel of Fortune (still being aired in 4:3 SD seven years after the show converted to HD production, while ALL COMPETING STATIONS air ALL their HD-produced syndie shows in HD!  Damn cheap Raycom...)

 

 

My market\'s station airs WoF and J! both in SD. It is awful.

Erie was the same way.  NOTHING upgraded to HD outside of network programming until last year, when Wheel, J!, and all other syndie shows on WSEE and WICU were finally upgraded.  And this year, from what I\'m hearing, WJET and WFXP are following suit.  No syndie game shows on \'JET, but \'FXP has Feud and Millionaire.

[Tony Peters]

My guess as to why WAFF hasn\'t made a full HD upgrade yet is that Raycom, after having acquired WSFA-NBC-12 in Montgomery and WBRC-Fox-6 in Birmingham, allocated the majority of its Alabama-earmarked infrastructure maintenance funds to those 2 stations, neglecting to upgrade WAFF beyond its live local newscasts (probably because Raycom - correctly - thought its return-on-investment would be greater in Birmingham, while in Montgomery (the state capital and Raycom\'s home base, as it\'s controlled by the Retirement Systems of Alabama (the pension fund for state employees - even though the Huntsville DMA is ranked higher than the Montgomery DMA) WSFA dominates the news ratings there, whereas in Huntsville WAFF has a much heartier competitor in WHNT, AFAIK the market\'s top station).  Still, it has to look bad when 3 stations rated lower than WAFF are at (or nearly at) full HD capability, and WAFF isn\'t.

I\'ll take your word for it, but I just tried again and it brought up 0 results (maybe I\'m just using the wrong keywords?).

[J.R.]

Using Google seems to do the trick for me. Just do the \"site:\" thing.

[clemon79]

Probably, although I don\'t see how. I searched on \"search function\" and my quote of your post was the first hit, and your post was the second.

Minor change on the fall schedule, as WUPA (CW) dumps its third daily airing of FF at 11pm ET in favor of Arsenio Hall\'s talk show.

Here\'s the Knoxville market:

 

Millionaire on WATE 6 moved up on August 5th to 4:30pm (used to be at 1:06am.)  We are running the double run temporarily at 12 Noon (week of Sept. 9 being the last) until Queen Latifah Show starts up in the Noon slot Sep. 16.

 

WoF/J! - No change, 7/7:30 on WBIR 10

 

Family Feud double run is at 8am/8:30am on WBXX CW20 (although I have heard that WATE and other Young/Media General stations are getting this show for 14-15.)

 

Cash Cab double run weekly at 4am/4:30am Saturday on WVLT 8 (CBS).  LMAD 10am and TPIR 11am there too.

 

Baggage double run Noon/12:30pm on WTNZ 43 (Fox)

[PYLdude]

Cash Cab\'s reduced to one airing late Sunday from the four and is paired with RightThisMinute on WNBC. The Cozi TV subchannel continues to air it daily.
