News Note -- 9/19/05
« on: September 05, 2005, 09:36:31 PM »
With the NFL moving the New Orleans/NY Giants game to the Meadowlands because of Katrina, the TV coverage for the game will affect those of you who receive WoF (or J!, for that matter) on an ABC affiliate at 7:30 ET.  The NFL has announced that ABC will carry the Saints/Giants game to the entire nation at 7:30 ET/4:30 PT, then coverage will switch to ESPN at 9PM ET/6PM PT as ABC does their regularly scheduled Washington/Dallas game (those in the Gulf states and NY metro will see Saints/Giants to its conclusion on ABC then get switched).  Fundraising efforts will be intertwined into both telecasts.

Guaranteed to tick off a few people here, but hey, that's what I'm here for.  :)

Oh, it'll be more than a few, I suspect. Is it too soon to start placing wagers?

I'm more ticked that the Giants get a ninth home game, and that I won't get to listen to the game on the radio -- the only Westwood One affiliate that comes in well is WFAN, which carries the Giants games.

Then it seems half the time they change their minds between scheduling and airing.  (I missed KJ's last win that way.  Thankfully, I did see last week's rerun.)  I personally can't wait till February, when (after the Patriots win their fourth Super Bowl, third consecutive!) this continual jerking around of KOMO's Monday schedule will cease almost entirely.

Esoteric Eric, definitely ticked off about last week, when the rerun of KJ's first win was all but obliterated by a meaningless, lopsided NFL preseason game.  Heck, if they just dispensed with the postgame interview (some guy that must have seen the scene in Bull Durham where Crash teaches Nuke the basic cliches to say in interviews), we could've at least seen most of Double Jeopardy!; instead we got only one (count 'em, one) clue in DJ! and the Final. Grrrr...

If this were a sports board, the griping would be that they're only showing half a game.

Probably complained loudly when MNF was on that one-hour delay for all those years, huh? (Welcome to the club!)

Anyway, like most ABC west coasters, KOMO has for the last several years run WOF & J! on a one-day delay until the last week of NFL season. Then things switch back to normal, for better or worse. Unfortunately, since college games tend to take forever, those 'Friday shows' usually are JIPed on those four or five occasions when ABC sends out a 4 PM game to the Pacific network. Comes with the territory.

What can you do? What CAN you do? Oh yeah. Dish Network and WSBK, if you can.

BTW: This week they're repeating WOF's annual NFL Players Week from last January. Tuesday's replay was aired the same day as the BCS Final, IIRC.

As to the NFL game: I like the arrangement in general. Why deny the nation the chance to see the conclusion, even if you have to have cable or a dish to see it. I'd wager ABC might have a look-in at halftime if the early game is still in progress.

The big problem I see with the scheduling is where it's slotted(7:30PM?).  That just rubs me the wrong way!  I know ABC has its priorities but 2 Monday night ganes in one night doesn't sit well with me at all!  The NFL should've let that game be moved over to Thursday night(9/15).  That way, all of America can see the WHOLE game on one network not move it to ESPN at 9 PM.

I doubt if they'll show the WOF episode later on that night.  Certainly I don't think it'll be part of a summer rerun pachage next summer.  UGGGHHHH!!!

If the possible preempted J! episode is the Madden loss episode(I have no advance knowledge of anything that will happen on J! this season), I'm sure there'll be more people ticked off, since football is more important than a game show.

That's why KGO dropped Monday episodes of J! and Wheel in late October/November 2004 altogether.  Because of Saturday College Football!

Oh, they'd gripe about both.

Because Wheel and Jeopardy are the two greatest shows in the history of television, gosh darn it.  :D

Luckily, although both shows air on WABC from 7-8 PM here in NY, we also get them an hr earlier on LI indie WLNY...guess that's where I'll be taping the SPs off of.
