Tonight's Wheel of Fortune was joined in progress after the first toss up puzzle on WCPO in Cincinnati. (They seem to have trouble showing Wheel in its entirety this season!)

Oh no!!! Will you recover from missing the first puzzle?

It's NOT that big of a deal here.

What's their excuse for JIP-ing this time?

When WCPO started airing tonight's episode of Wheel, they didn't show the "WHEEL...OF...FORTUNE" intro, or Pat and Vanna arriving together on the stage, nor the first toss-up. The show began here with Pat talking to the contestants, as I stated earlier.

If they're doing it just to squeeze in an extra minute or two of commercials, Sony's not going to like it.

And for those keeping track as to what Wheel's theme is this week, it's Extreme Adventures Week.

As someone who works in TV news, I second this query.

Brian, I used to live in Dayton and we got most of the Cincy stations, 9 included, via cable. This never happened when we lived in Ohio (of course, this was umpteen years ago).

If CPO's still JIP-ing WoF because of bad timing of a newscast or they're needing/wanting to throw in an extra commercial, my best advice is pick up a pen, put it to paper and write a letter of complaint to the general manager (read: no phone call or e-mail; using the U.S. mail in this case is the best route).

After a few days, then you can follow up your letter of complaint with a phone call -- just to at least make sure it got in the right hands and the management team took your complaint to heart.

After about another week, if you don't get any response from 9, then's the time to write a letter of complaint to Sony.

Bottom line: A major market station like CPO should know/do better than this.

At least there is an intelligent response to my post. I have sent an e-mail to CPO (and I bet they got a number of calls last night).

Too bad you couldn't be bothered to read it:

And he's right. An E-mail will get you precisely nowhere.

If WCPO-TV ABC 9 keeps having problems with WOF,then King World should move it and J! to either WKRC-TV CBS 12 or WLWT NBC 5. Preferably WLWT,because in the 1970's and 1980's Channel 5 had bunch of game show favorites like nighttime HS, MGPM, Bullseye and Gary Moore/Joe Garagiola version of TTTT.

Incidentally, we didn't get to see the first toss up tonight - no, not because they fouled up again but there was a special report about a town north of here being evacuated after a tanker full of gasoline overturned.

Brian. No one gives two tin shi*s about another Wheel preemption in Cincinatti. The tanker is much more important then seeing Tom Smith from Anchorage, Alaska telling Pat that he's a chia pet salesperson. Cincinatti has the Bengals and you. My sympathies.

J! is getting pre-empted tomorrow on WPVI for a pep rally special for the Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl try. Is a pep rally more important than a game show? The tanker of course is more important, as it's a breaking news story.
