Title: Game show pre-emption headsup (10/25)
Post by: brianhenke on October 26, 2016, 02:19:25 PM
  This affects game shows on Fox affiliates, primarily in the Eastern and Central time zone (eg Wheel and J! on WXIX):

  Tonight's World Series Game 2 will begin at 7 pm ET on Fox. It means that the affected game shows will be preempted, shown on digital subchannels, or preempted altogether.

  WXIX will preempt WOF, and will air J! at 2:30 am ET, according to its schedule.

  Fox is airing a hour-long preshow for Game 7 of the World Series tonight, so WXIX moved WOF to 19.2. Other Fox affiliates are most likely doing the same to their game shows.

But what is baseball but a giant game show? :)

Our long national nightmare is over.

At least until pitchers and catchers report next February.

For the record, my affiliate, WBFF, didn't move them to a sub-channel and didn't put them on the schedule for some middle of the night airing. So I don't know when or if any of the preempted episodes will air here. I would call the station, but I don't really care anyway.

If only more fans thought like you - not a life shattering event if a day is missed. :)
