Seems like KCAL 9 is hedging its bets on the outcome of Pyramid, as it has switched the time slots for Pyramid with the double run of Elimidate. Now Elimidate runs as a full hour from 5:30 to 6:30 pm, and Pyramid follows the 2nd run of 5th Wheel at 12:30am.
It'll be interesting to see if there is a ripple effect on Street Smarts, since it follows Pyramid now.

On the plus side, at least Pyramid will no longer be preempted by L.A. Lakers games.

A lot of people stay up late in LA, it might be better for the show. If it can get good ratings overnight there might be a chance that the show will return......aw who am I kidding, it's over.

Here in Seattle, KOMO is still supporting Pyramid in this fashion:
During Northwest Afternoon (local 3 PM chat show), the hosts tell the audience to look for a particular question on the upcoming episode of syndie Millionaire at 4 PM. After noting the answer to that Millionaire question, viewers can call in at a certain commercial break during Pyramid (in the 4:30 half-hour); the nth caller with the correct answer wins $1000. The hope, of course, is that you'll tune in @ 3 for the chat show, paricipate in the contest while watching Meredith and Donny, and oh-by-the-way (he wrote, cynically), stay tuned for the news @ 5.
Esoteric Eric, who really appreciates those who post upcoming Pyramid celeb lists (so I can forget to tape it when it's Trading Spaces day (week?) )

just posting to echo Esoteric Eric's appreciation for celeb lists. Pyramid's own site only goes five weekdays from the current day's show.
