Title: Fox affiliate preemption heads up (10/20)
Post by: brianhenke on October 20, 2025, 04:42:52 PM
Fox is carrying Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. A pregame show will start at 7 pm ET/4 pm ET.

That means Fox affiliates will preempt or move game shows, including WXIX here.

Incidentally, one of tonight's Jeopardy! contestants is from Cincinnati. In fact, a watch party  was to be  held tonight.

What you need to know, and everyone else at the same time, is that this was a possible thing to happen and Fox stations knew about it. It wasn't a last second affair until Game 7 was confirmed.

The three Fox stations in my facility was prepared for it and we put it into place.
