How's your fall schedule stacking up?

Memphis will at least get "Crosswords".

Quote
Los Angeles, CA — August 29, 2007 — Program Partners and Merv Griffin Entertainment today announced that Merv Griffin’s Crosswords has cleared all 50 of the top 50 markets...
Link. Memphis is #47. The Program Partners website says WPXX.
[/quote]

There, fixed it. WPXX is the My/Ion affiliate for Memphis, WBXX is on the opposite side of the state and is CW for Knoxville.

With Fox owning a station in Memphis, it's odd they didn't go for a nominal clearance in Memphis on WHBQ. Of course, Memphis is also the largest market without Feud...
[/quote]

Much to my surprise, WPXX showed a promo for Family Feud during the Temptation preview. It will be the first time Feud has been on in Memphis in years. Since neither Feud nor Crosswords shows up in the listings yet for WPXX, I'm hoping there's an outside chance they'll have Temptation, as well.

I'm not sure what kind of cable carriage 62O has-I hope it's in Lincoln as well for my fellow Nebraskan contributor.

Awww...thanks for the sentiment!  :)

But, even if it is, I won't be able to see it, as I only have basic cable (my apartment complex pays for basic cable...).  If I get the motivation, I might try and DX KHAS in Hastings, but, at the very least, I'll get to see it when I return to Illinois for Christmas break (yay WMAQ!).

Oh, and since everyone else is doing it, here's the syndie game show schedule for Lincoln:

10 a.m.:  Temptation (KCWL)
12 p.m.:  Temptation (KXVO)
12:30 p.m.:  Family Feud (KXVO)
4:30 p.m.:  Jeopardy!  (KOLN/KGIN and WOWT)
6:30 p.m.:  Wheel of Fortune (KOLN/KGIN and KETV)

All are single runs.  So far, no Crosswords, but there's a slight glimmer of hope that it'll be on KCWL (10:30-11:30 a.m. is currently listed as "To Be Announced" on Zap2it).  BTW, what the heck is with Omaha having J! and WOF on two different stations?  :)

Just for clarification, there is only one "new new" talk show this year in syndication, AFAIK--the Steve-the-security-guy show.  Mike and Juliet and the retooled and moved-to-Chicago "iVillage Live" (with Bill and Ereka of "Apprentice 1"--isn't he supposed to be supervising the building of the Chicago Trump Tower?--it's not done yet) were test marketing for the last nine months.

BTW, the ivillage.com show's been renamed "In the Loop with iVillage"--the only problem is that the NBC Tower is *north* of the Loop.  The only TV facility *currently* in the Loop is WLS' studios, owned by Disney, so forget that.  (CBS-owned WBBM will be moving into the Loop in a couple of years.)  At least it's not as bad as doing the show in the really-far from the Loop WTTW studios on the Far Northwest Side.

ObGameShow:  If it wasn't for iVillage, "Crosswords" would've originated from the NBC Tower in Chicago instead of LA.

As it turns out, the Tri-Cities, TN/VA market will be getting Temptation and Crosswords after all.  Temptation will run at noon on WKPT (ABC) and Crosswords at 1pm on WAPK (MyNetworkTV).

The complete Indianapolis lineup, finally confirmed to Zap2It (and therefore, TiVo):

11 - TPiR - WISH-8
12 - Millionaire x 2 - WXIN-59 (FOX)
1   - Crosswords/Temptation - WXIN-59
4   - Feud x 2 - WISH-8
7   - Wheel/J! - WTHR-13 (NBC)

XIN has the games sandwiched between Springer and.... Springer. Classy!

Doesn't apply directly to me, but I did notice that upstart WHVL, a brand-new MNTV affiliate on channel 29 in the Johnstown/Altoona market, will be airing double runs of Temptation (10-11am) and Crosswords (11am-12n). Good news for that market.*

Looks like channel 29 is based out of State College and has a LP signal, but has already gained carriage on several local cable systems, including Johnstown and Altoona.

*Their local news and on-air is still bottom of the barrel.

/I wonder what three-letter abbreviation TV Guide would have given My Network TV alongside affiliates on the station info page if the network started in the digest heyday. MNT maybe? MYT? Just MY? None of us can agree on a standard abbreviation as of yet, from what I've seen. [17] WPHL (MNT)?

//WTAJ hasn't updated their logo in what must be 15 years.

///WATM's logo looks like it was created in Microsoft Word.

In Lansing, our NBC affiliate has not gotten the correct information to listing services, so trying to record some season premieres is proving to be a little challenging for my Tivo.  The listings still show Millionaire airing twice a day, when in fact another station in the market will have Meredith this fall.  One of those phantom airings is where I believe Crosswords is going to be later today.  Meanwhile, the listings go on to say that the station is airing all four hours of Today in the morning (followed by Regis at 11), when instead this morning they had Regis at 9 and Mike & Juliet at 10.

Seems like today of all days, you'd want your listings to be as accurate as possible.

I know that when I called WBGT to ask if a time for Temptation had been chosen, I was told that it would be "a couple of weeks or so" before the listings were correct for all of the station's new shows.  As of this morning, both the cable box's guide and Zap2It listed an infomercial for 9:30 am and the long-running To Be Announced for 4 pm, although Temptation airs in both slots.

Granted, WBGT is a low-power station (although it pays Time Warner for cable carriage) and doesn't have the world's largest budget, but you'd think that would make them even more eager to make sure people know when to find the newest shows.

One of my favorites!  When I was a kid and saw that in the listings, I thought there actually was a program by that name, consisting of someone sitting at a desk reading announcements.  Sadly, that could be more interesting than much of what passes for entertainment programming these days.

A very late addition to the Santa Barbara-Santa Maria-San Luis Obispo market: Crosswords shows up on KKFX (Fox) at 3:30. Unsurprisingly, there is no mention of this on the Crosswords website.

That is what I thought too - I finally called them last Thursday to get the correct lineup and let them know that the guide data was not correct yet.  It seems to be fixed everywhere except with Tribune (where zap2it and TiVo get their data from).  The station that has WWTBAM doesn't have the correct data either.

I have repeating manual recordings set on my TiVo until the guide data gets correct and stabilizes.

I figured we weren't getting Temptation, but I didn't realize until today we've lost Family Feud as well.  Actually, they're both on in my area, but now only on a digital channel which I can't get.

Unfortuantely, these shows aren't fed via regular C-band satellite anymore   :(

Oh well...at least I've got the others.
