What might be the biggest scheduling change in the history of game shows, WSBT-South Bend is switching Wheel/Jeopardy to Jeopardy/Wheel in the 7PM hour on the new season.
I *may* have been given Fake News.  Current grids still show Wheel>J!.

Funny You Should Ask - WSBT-DT2, 3PM, paired with a Jeopardy! season-repeat.
When you're at the grocery game and you hear the beep, think of all the fun you could have at "Crazy Rachel's Checkout Counter!"

Does anybody have a source for what markets are carrying Funny You Should Ask?  A real production company would have that on their webpage.  Byron's outfit only has press releases from last year announcing the show.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

I can't find it in DC on Titan TV's 9/11-9/12 listings. Of course, our market is famous for running syndicated shows 4x a day (Feud, Divorce Court), and running the same shows on two different channels (TMZ, Harry, Wendy Williams) since the same company owns them (5 and 20, the Fox and My Network affiliates).

Matt, I've been going by this TVNewsCheck article that lists the station groups running the show.

For example, in Philly, I looked for it on a CBS O&O and ultimately found it on WPSG (a noon double run), which is the local CW affiliate (owned by CBS).

In Nashville, it appears on WZTV at 10:30am (single run) as a direct replacement for Celeb Name Game.  WZTV is owned by Sinclair.

In Milwaukee, the third-run Feud returns to 5pm on WVTV, and the fourth run gets bumped for FYSA at 5:30pm.

First-run Millionaire appears to get its old slot of 7:30am on WMLW back so a second viewing of Inside Edition can be seen at 2pm on WDJT (the first happens at 8:30am on WMLW).

I think in some markets the updated schedule information just is not up yet. I've noticed a LOT of markets still have The Insider up for 9/11 and 9/12 even though the last episode is 9/8.

That said, nothing for Boston either. Even though the presence of Sunbeam on that list SCREAMS that it would get Celebrity Name Game's slot on WHDH from 1-2 PM.

I dunno if the week of Sept. 11-15th is simply the final week of reruns, but here, Celebrity Name Game will air at 2 and 3 am on WGNT. I'm guessing there won't be a "Best Of" season or anything.

Now celebrating his 22nd season on GSF!

I live in the Boston area and just searched "Funny You Should Ask" on tvguide.com - it states that WHDH will begin running FYSA from 2-3PM on 9/11, with The Doctors moving from 2 to 1.

I tried Titan TV for a "second opinion" and nothing came up.

At least it keeps something of a flow in terms of non-news filler versus going CNG->Doctors->Feud. Sad thing is that was the best exposure CNG ever had in Boston; it's other timeslots (9:00 on WSBK for seasons 1/2, 8:00 on WLVI for 2016 season 3) had the wonderful lead-in of infomercials.

One clearance where the flow gets badly broken is that of WCTX in the Hartford-New Haven market. Witness:

2:00/2:30: FYSA
3:00: TMZ Live
4:00/4:30: Millionaire
5:00/5:30: Feud (new episodes)

Doesn't look like anything really changed as far as game shows go in the Harrisburg area:
WWTBAM still on at 12:30pm on WGAL (2nd year)
WOF and J! still at 7:00pm on 7:30pm on WHP (since 1984, except for 1985-86 w/ J! at 5:30)
Feud from noon-1pm (repeats) and 6-7 (newer) on WPMT (same as last year).

The new entry, "Funny You Should Ask", gets the graveyard slot at 2:05am on WHP digital subchannel 21.3 (CW).

Detroit:

Wheel and J! at 7/7:30 on WDIV-4 for the 82nd consecutive year
WWTBAM replaces CNG on WWJ-62 at Noon.  It keeps its 3 PM slot as well.
Feud still has the triple run at 3:30, 7, and 7:30 on WWJ-62
Funny You Should Ask is not cleared
