Aside from it being on two different stations, that's pretty much the standard for the Jeopardy package. Many stations that carry the show also air reruns from same-time-last-year in another time slot. I don't know any that run them back to back, since most stations pair it with Wheel.
Frankly, I've always felt that double-runs cheapen a show, and there very well may be a clause in the KingWorld contracts that says you can't do it with Wheel or Jeopardy. If not, it seems like we'd see a lot of stations air, say, an hour of Wheel before the news and an hour of Jeopardy after.

Here in Central time, where there's only half an hour of prime access after the local news, our local station airs a J! double run at 4:00 (old) and 4:30 (new) and Wheel at 6:30.
