Title: J!: Nationwide or Nefarious NBC Affiliate
Post by: mmb5 on October 01, 2012, 08:06:25 PM
I've noticed in my last few viewings of Jeopardy that only one cycle of the think music was heard instead of two, even though Alex says '30 seconds'?  Is this happening nationwide or is this my evil affiliate trying to get 15 more seconds of commercial time?

Wow, I don't believe that's happening here. That's almost clever.

It's your station.

Can't help but wonder if J! knows about the situation or not -- if I were in your position, I might attempt to contact J! staff in addition to the station.

We used to clip credits during election time, at the non-J! station I worked for in the early 90's.  Never program content - I would think there'd be a clause in the contract prohibiting content editing.

The station that runs J! here in DC, WJLA, does not run the fee plugs at the end of the show, opting instead for extra commericials. They do show the last segment with the contestents/credits.

WTVZ does the same thing with Family Feud. I've still never heard of what Mike describes though. I can't even imagine how that can be done without looking like a jarring edit.
