Doesn't start until 9-21.

Kalamazoo/Grand Rapids will also be watching LMaD/Price back to back, with Dr. Phil taking the 3 pm slot. Just notified by WWMT's program director. For what it's worth - my own personal feelings on this....
I can take an hour of this kind of show, but two back-to-back? I could handle them separately at 11am and 3pm. Might as well just run audience shots from WWE smackdown matches. If the ratings are good and CBS decides to cancel As The World Turns and replace it with a game show version of Ow! My Balls!!.......Idiocracy will have gone from comedy to documentary.
Sorry...just had to rant. Pyramid would have been sweet at 10 am. Even if The Dating Game followed.

Let's Make a Deal:  10 AM, KYW (3)
Deal or No Deal:  12 PM, WCAU (10); 4 and 4:30 PM, WFMZ (69)
Millionaire:  12:30 PM, WPVI (6)
Jeopardy!:  7 PM, WPVI
Wheel of Fortune:  7:30 PM, WPVI
Family Feud:  3:30 PM Mondays, 9 PM Tuesdays-Fridays, 9:30 PM, WFMZ; 4:30 AM, WTXF (29)
5th Grader:  10:30 PM, WPHL (17)[/quote]

There's a reason why they call any time between Midnight and 5:30am the "Graveyard" shift. It was nice Knowing Feud.
However I kinda like the LMaD positioning behind TPIR.
5th, I don't know? Seems a bit dodgy there at 10:30pm plus with our Comcast package, most those channels are in the Two Fifties!

I'd like to NOT get a One year wonder out of this.

It's not going to the CBS affiliate (WWJ-TV). They replaced TP: AP and the second run of Feud with a second run of Dr. Phil at 9 AM. That's too bad. I liked the combo of game and soaps for most of the day. Bonnie Hunt moves into the old Phil #2 slot at 3 PM. The big surprise to me is that Judge Mathis is getting replaced with Tom Bergeron and AFV at 4 PM.

[quote name=\'fostergray82\' post=\'222486\' date=\'Aug 10 2009, 03:55 PM\'](In Hampton Roads, VA) WTKR will air LMaD at 3, replacing Guiding Light. They will not air D/ND for season two; unsure on where it's going.[/quote]

Looking ahead on my TiVo and online listings, it looks like MyTVZ is picking up Deal or No Deal starting September 7 from WTKR, in the same 4/4:30 timeslot it was back at WTKR. As with fostergray82, I'm presuming MyTVZ will be getting 5th Grader on the 21st in the 12/12:30 timeslot right before Family Feud at 1/1:30. It's a bit of a letdown for me to see DoND leave WTKR; I always thought it held its own very well in that timeslot, counterprogramming Oprah and The Doctors. A LMaD/DoND combo at 3 and 4 would have been great.

As for the other games, with Millionaire on WTKR and Wheel/J! on WVEC, they will stay put.

Hey, I don't mind 5th Grader at 10:30 PM as long as it doesn't "conflict" with either J! or WoF/  My channel markers for MyPhl17 are 4(the basic channel) & 235(the "HD" channek).

As far as FF goes, at least I have WFMZ to fall back on once in awhile.

I would've liked to see LMaD at 3 because then we'd have Dr Oz at 9 AM followed by the Doctors at 10 AM. but since the Doctors stay put at 3 PM means a nice 2-hour game show block anyways starting at 10 AM.

[Casey Buck]

Got the schedule for KOIN 6 (CBS) from the same Sitcoms Online thread (which I'm a bit skeptical about):

9 AM-10 AM: Feud (double run)
10 AM-11 AM: TPiR
11 AM-noon: LMAD (starting October 5th; currently occupied by Y&R, which will move to Guiding Light's 2 PM-3 PM slot)

Wow. I'm pretty stunned that KOIN is supposedly moving Y&R to the afternoons, and that LMAD will the lead-in to KOIN's noon newscast. If this schedule is true, then we're going to have a three hour morning game show block in Portland!

In summary, here's the game show lineup for Portland:

Feud: 9 AM and 9:30 AM, KOIN (CBS)
TPiR: 10 AM, KOIN (CBS)
LMAD: 11 AM, KOIN (CBS)
Millionaire: 3:30 PM and 7 PM, KATU (ABC)
5th Grader: 3:00 PM and 7:30 PM, KATU (ABC)
DoND: 7 PM, KPTV (FOX)
J!: 6:30 PM, KGW (NBC)
WoF: 7:30 PM, KGW (NBC)

Just saw a commercial for the new 5th Grader. It'll air on WVBT at 7pm, replacing Family Guy...I'm highly surprised by this move.

Everything else from fall-2008 (except TP: AP) remains in the same timeslot, with D/ND going to WTVZ as Jeremy noted.

[quote name=\'Johnissoevil\' post=\'224543\' date=\'Aug 31 2009, 02:13 AM\']Don't know much about what will be airing where and when here in Erie, PA, but I can say that starting on 9/7, I will finally have access to Trivial Pursuit:  America Plays on WUAB out of Cleveland via Time Warner Cable at 8 am weekdays.  I wonder if they'll air reruns all season long or this is just temporary, considering the show has not been picked up for a second season.[/quote]
Probably for two weeks only, I'd guess.

For Cleveland...
WOIO:  Family Feud at 9 AM, Deal or No Deal at 9:30 AM, Family Feud at 10 AM, Millionaire at 10:30 AM, all starting on Mon. 9/7.
WEWS:  Wheel at 7 PM, Jeopardy! at 7:30 PM, unchanged since 1984.

I have no clue when and where to find 5th Grader.

[SteveR]

IIRC, 5th Grader doesn't launch until Sept. 21. In Washington, I know it's on WDCA-20, the same channel that already has DoND and Feud, and will be losing TP:AP.

Millionaire (12:30), Wheel (7) and Jeopardy! (7:30) are fixtures on WJLA-7.

As tpirfan28 mentioned, 5th Grader premieres Sept. 21.  WXIX's promo for the show has it starting on that date as well, so Jim is apparently a placeholder for a week.

BTW, Brian, have you heard/seen anything yet about WKRC's plans for the new Let's Make a Deal?

Well, it's better than nothing.  At least I don't have to go to Jersey to see it this time. :-P

[WhammyPower]

Changes (so far) for Milwaukee on WMLW:

Feud moves to 4:00pm and 4:30 pm
Millionaire moves to 2:00pm and 2:30pm
TP:AP is still airing at 3:30 pm for now

MDA Telethon "catchup" slots at 1:00pm and 1:30pm:
Tuesday: Monday's J! and WoF first-runs
Wednesday: Mill double run
Thursday: Feud double run

[Tony Peters]

I don't have confirmation on everything yet, but here is the known schedule for Huntsville, Alabama:

10AM
The Price is Right WHNT-CBS-19 (unchanged)

11AM
Family Feud WHDF-CW-15 (double run, unchanged)

12PM
Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? WHDF-CW-15 (double run; unconfirmed for now; a double run of Deal or No Deal is still scheduled as of the 17th unless infomercials air instead; see 3PM)

12:30PM
Jeopardy! WAFF-NBC-48 (unchanged)

3PM
Let's Make a Deal WHNT-CBS-19 (new series)
Deal or No Deal WAAY-ABC-31 (single run; new time and station; first time in 8 years WAAY will air a syndicated game show, since Hollywood Squares last aired in September 2001; unless WHDF puts a pair of infomercials in DOND's place, it will air on 2 stations for 2 weeks)

6:30PM
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire WHNT-CBS-19 (unchanged)
Wheel of Fortune WAFF-NBC-48 (unchanged)

Once again, WZDX-Fox-54 will air no game shows.
BTW, I have no way to watch anything but the CBS games online, but if I could, I wouldn't watch any of these regularly except Jeopardy!.  (Our earth-covered concrete house is surrounded by hills and trees, blocking off any DTV signals.  For my family, paying for TV, either satellite or an outdoor antenna - cable doesn't run by us yet AFAIK, just isn't a priority when we're trying to finish the house and refinance its mortgage.)
