Starting the annual thread with news out of Atlanta, where it appears that, for the time being, WWTBAM will not be broadcast in the market.
WPCH (Peachtree TV), an independent station now owned by Meredith (it previously ran the station under Time Warner ownership, and was the former WTBS/17) released its fall schedule this week, and the hour of WWTBAM is gone from 3-4p, replaced by "King of Queens" reruns. At this time, no other Atlanta station appears to have picked up the show. (Several Cox stations run the show, so I could see WSB picking it up for an overnight airing).
WPCH does pick up Byron Allen's "Funny You Should Ask", which will air in an odd time slot, 10:30pm ET, sandwiched between "Inside Edition" and "Seinfeld".
Everything else appears to be the same from this past season.
WOF -- 7pm ET on WXIA (NB, Tegna)
J! -- 7:30pm ET on WXIA
LMAD -- 10am ET on WGCL (CBS, Meredith)
TPiR -- 11am ET on WGCL
FF -- 6pm ET on WUPA (CW, Tribune) for two-hour block

I'm curious to see how many markets are picking up Funny You Should Ask as a replacement for The Insider. Not happening in New York, where WLNY will be carrying the show (suddenly curious where they plan on plugging it, because their lineup from 4:00 PM onward is pretty much set in stone). EDIT: Double run, 4 PM.
(For the record, The Insider's replacement in New York is going to be Inside Edition, which returns to WCBS after quite a long absence from the station.)
-
In Atlanta, Meredith's WGCL (CBS affiliate) aired "The Insider" and "Inside Edition" back-to-back in the 7p hour.
Starting this fall, "Inside Edition" will air on Meredith's Peachtree TV (WPCH, independent) at 8am and 10pm. "Funny You Should Ask" will air after the 10pm edition of "Inside Edition".
As for that 7pm hour, WGCL will air two episodes of "Big Bang Theory", which previously aired that same hour on Peachtree TV, which will air reruns of BET's "The Game" in that slot this fall.

Cleveland:
LMaD, TPiR, WoF, and J! all stay at their same first run times--10 AM, 11 AM, 7 PM, and 7:30 PM, all on WOIO.
Gone is the Jeopardy! daytime rerun. The weekend runs of WoF and J! stay, airing after the 11 PM or later news on Saturdays, moving to 7-8 PM on Saturdays when college sports aren't in primetime.
Who Wants to be a Millionaire? goes from WOIO to WKYC, getting a double run from 2 to 3 PM for just that week, starting on Tuesday 9/5. Its regular time is a single episode at 3 PM.
Funny You Should Ask gets the very interesting time slot of 10:30 PM on WBNX, replacing a Friends rerun.
Family Feud used to have the 2 PM time slot on WKYC, as well as 2:30 PM for part of the last season. Now, Feud is on WOIO from 3 to 4 PM, as well as from 6 to 7 PM on sister station WUAB. This is at least the third time in Feud's almost 2 decade run that WOIO has aired it, as well as the second time for WUAB--they aired Feud as part of a 90 min. early afternoon block in 2001-02 with TTTT and Card Sharks.
Whatever is left of Celebrity Name Game withers away at 3:30 AM on WUAB for the next few weeks.

Good info so far. Real quick, can someone tell me the best way to look up this info for my market? What sites are you guys using to pull the info? TIA.

Seconded! I was wondering the same thing.

What might be the biggest scheduling change in the history of game shows, WSBT-South Bend is switching Wheel/Jeopardy to Jeopardy/Wheel in the 7PM hour on the new season. I believe they also will be switching from a Saturday Jeopardy to a Saturday Wheel.
-
WSBT-South Bend is switching Wheel/Jeopardy to Jeopardy/Wheel in the 7PM hour on the new season.
That sound you hear is half of Indiana's head asploding right now.

Just mine (what?).
I guess I don't understand the move. It's been Wheel/J! I think since they debuted back in the 80s. Only exception was when Indiana was on no-DST, where Wheel was at 6:30 and J! at either 10:30 or 3:30 (TPIR lead in or paired with Hollywood Squares). Maybe it's a Sinclair thing...they got sold to them last fall.
Feud/Millionaire I don't think are moving. Feud is already at 3PM/7PM on WBND and Millionaire is on sometime.
-

Nope. KOMO in Seattle is Sinclair, and orders it WOF->Jeopardy.
/they also do their best to bury those "must-runs" in the 4:00a hour
//gotta think the news director is only still here because weed is legal
///third slashie for beating Portland tonight

Seconded! I was wondering the same thing.
I usually check TV Guide's online listings, but you can only go about 13 days ahead. Check Tuesday for the first set of listings...I think Funny You Should Ask premieres on the 11th.
-
Got to check two weeks ahead on Xfinity's listings and there's only one notable change.
WMAR ABC 2
7:30pm - Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?
WUTB 41 (MyNetwork)
10:00am - Celebrity Name Game
WBFF FOX 45
6:00pm - Family Feud
6:30pm - Family Feud
7:00pm - Jeopardy!
7:30pm - Wheel of Fortune
WJZ 13 (CBS)
10:00am - Let's Make A Deal
11:00am - The Price is Right
With "The Insider" canceled, ABC 2 has decided to bring back its noon newscast (or what I assume is its noon newscast), move "RightThisMinute" to 12:30 where Millionaire was and place Millionaire where The Insider was at 7:30pm. I wish it the best of luck as it gets slaughtered up against Wheel and hope it remains on in Baltimore in 2018.
I'm not surprised at CNG reruns on a MyNetwork affiliate, but I'd rather have a double run of Millionaire in that case. Aw.
-
TitanTV allowed me to go to the 11th...everything mostly stays the same with a few changes.
WTKR
LMAD, 9 am
TPiR, 11 am
Those two are separated by a local talk show at 10 am. It's kinda odd to me that they don't air LMAD and TPiR back-to-back.
WVEC
Wheel and J! continue to hold down the 7-8 pm hour, for the 34th year in a row. However, J! now has a previous season rerun at 3:30 pm. J! and a new show, Daily Blast Live, replace T.D. Jakes.
WTVZ
Feud, 10 am, 7-8 pm. I'm guessing the 10 am episode is a rerun...I believe Feud reruns also air on weekends
Funny You Should Ask, 10:30 am
Snap Decision's summer run aired at 5:30 pm, partially displacing Harry Connick, Jr.'s show. Looks like that was only temporary; Harry moves back to 5.
WVBT
Millionaire, 12-1 pm
-
Indy:
CHANGES:
Millionaire - from a single on ABC-6 at 12:30 pm to a double on CBS-4 at 9 & 9:30 am (replacing Celeb Name Game)
Funny You Should Ask - 6 & 6:30 pm on My-23, replacing 2nd run of Steve Harvey (Steve's first run stays at 3 on CW-8)
(Funny also airs on Sunday nights at the same time)
Celeb Name Game - 2 am on FOX-59 (possibly just the week of the 11th to run out the sister station's contract?)
UNCHANGED:
Deal & Price - 10 and 11, CBS-4
Feud - 4 & 4:30 on CW-8, 7 & 7:30 on My-23
Wheel & J! - 7 & 7:30, NBC-13
-
What might be the biggest scheduling change in the history of game shows, WSBT-South Bend is switching Wheel/Jeopardy to Jeopardy/Wheel in the 7PM hour on the new season.
I *may* have been given Fake News. Current grids still show Wheel>J!.
Funny You Should Ask - WSBT-DT2, 3PM, paired with a Jeopardy! season-repeat.
-
Does anybody have a source for what markets are carrying Funny You Should Ask? A real production company would have that on their webpage. Byron's outfit only has press releases from last year announcing the show.
-
I can't find it in DC on Titan TV's 9/11-9/12 listings. Of course, our market is famous for running syndicated shows 4x a day (Feud, Divorce Court), and running the same shows on two different channels (TMZ, Harry, Wendy Williams) since the same company owns them (5 and 20, the Fox and My Network affiliates).

Matt, I've been going by this TVNewsCheck article (http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/104139/funny-you-should-ask-hits-95-clearance?utm_source=NetNewsCheck-rss&utm_medium=originals&utm_campaign=originals--Funny-You-Should-Ask-Hits-95-Clearance) that lists the station groups running the show.
For example, in Philly, I looked for it on a CBS O&O and ultimately found it on WPSG (a noon double run), which is the local CW affiliate (owned by CBS).
In Nashville, it appears on WZTV at 10:30am (single run) as a direct replacement for Celeb Name Game. WZTV is owned by Sinclair.

In Milwaukee, the third-run Feud returns to 5pm on WVTV, and the fourth run gets bumped for FYSA at 5:30pm.
First-run Millionaire appears to get its old slot of 7:30am on WMLW back so a second viewing of Inside Edition can be seen at 2pm on WDJT (the first happens at 8:30am on WMLW).

I think in some markets the updated schedule information just is not up yet. I've noticed a LOT of markets still have The Insider up for 9/11 and 9/12 even though the last episode is 9/8.
That said, nothing for Boston either. Even though the presence of Sunbeam on that list SCREAMS that it would get Celebrity Name Game's slot on WHDH from 1-2 PM.
-
I dunno if the week of Sept. 11-15th is simply the final week of reruns, but here, Celebrity Name Game will air at 2 and 3 am on WGNT. I'm guessing there won't be a "Best Of" season or anything.

I live in the Boston area and just searched "Funny You Should Ask" on tvguide.com - it states that WHDH will begin running FYSA from 2-3PM on 9/11, with The Doctors moving from 2 to 1.
I tried Titan TV for a "second opinion" and nothing came up.

At least it keeps something of a flow in terms of non-news filler versus going CNG->Doctors->Feud. Sad thing is that was the best exposure CNG ever had in Boston; it's other timeslots (9:00 on WSBK for seasons 1/2, 8:00 on WLVI for 2016 season 3) had the wonderful lead-in of infomercials.
One clearance where the flow gets badly broken is that of WCTX in the Hartford-New Haven market. Witness:
2:00/2:30: FYSA
3:00: TMZ Live
4:00/4:30: Millionaire
5:00/5:30: Feud (new episodes)

Doesn't look like anything really changed as far as game shows go in the Harrisburg area:
WWTBAM still on at 12:30pm on WGAL (2nd year)
WOF and J! still at 7:00pm on 7:30pm on WHP (since 1984, except for 1985-86 w/ J! at 5:30)
Feud from noon-1pm (repeats) and 6-7 (newer) on WPMT (same as last year).
The new entry, "Funny You Should Ask", gets the graveyard slot at 2:05am on WHP digital subchannel 21.3 (CW).
-
Detroit:
Wheel and J! at 7/7:30 on WDIV-4 for the 82nd consecutive year
WWTBAM replaces CNG on WWJ-62 at Noon. It keeps its 3 PM slot as well.
Feud still has the triple run at 3:30, 7, and 7:30 on WWJ-62
Funny You Should Ask is not cleared

Chicago, per September 11 listings on zap2it.com:
- Let's Make a Deal - 9:00 AM weekdays, WBBM - 2 (CBS)
- The Price Is Right - 10:00 AM weekdays, WBBM - 2 (CBS)
- Jeopardy - 3:30 PM weekdays, WLS - 7 (ABC)
- Wheel of Fortune - 6:30 PM weekdays, WLS - 7 (ABC)
- Family Feud - 4:00 PM weekdays, WPWR - 50 (CW); four episodes run in a block, with the last two being new
- Funny You Should Ask is scheduled for WCIU - 26 per their web site, but there's no time slot indicated and it's not on zap2it's schedule for the week of September 11. UPDATE: The show premieres Monday, September 18, at 11:30 PM on WCIU.
- Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is listed on the show's web site as double-running at 2 and 3 PM on WCIU, but zap2it doesn't have it on the schedule either. UPDATE: It's being double run from 2:00 to 3:00 PM weekdays on WCIU's digital tier channel, WCIU-DT2. (On our cable system, that's channel 170.)
- Hispanic College Quiz is listed on their website as running weekly at 1:30 PM on WLS, which makes no sense. Zap2it has one episode running at 1:05 am Monday, September 11 on WMAQ - 5 (NBC).
-
This has to be some kind of record, as I've never seen it before in my area. Our CBS affiliate is airing two episodes of Millionaire. One is at 2:30 pm, the other at 1:37 am.
-
Starting this fall, "Inside Edition" will air on Meredith's Peachtree TV (WPCH, independent) at 8am and 10pm. "Funny You Should Ask" will air after the 10pm edition of "Inside Edition".
Unless if the first airing is at 10:00 pm and opposite the news on WAGA and WATL, I may have to get up early at 8:00 am for Inside Edition.
As for Millionaire in Atlanta? Maybe WUPA (owned by CBS, actually) could pick it up to replace Celebrity Name Game; I can't envision it being on The Notorious WSB.
-
Funny You Should Ask will air in Detroit on WMYD, TV-20, 11pm-12am. It will air on WBSF, CW46 in Flint at 7pm and 3:30am.
-
No changes here in Cincinnati, apparently. WOF, J! and WWTBAM on WXIX, Feud double run at 6-7 on WSTR. Plus the network offerings.
Funny You Should Ask...no station picked it up here...in Dayton, FYSA will air at 9:30 am on WKEF (ABC).
-
Chicago Update:
Millionaire keeps its slot from last year, a double-run at 2:00pm on 26.2. Weirdly, Comcast's guide shows the episodes are all from this season, and being shown in reverse order each day. Monday has Season 16, Episode 2 at 2:00pm, and 16-1 at 2:30pm. Tuesday has 16-4 at 2:00pm, and 16-3 at 2:30pm.
Funny You Should Ask gets a single run on WCIU 26.1 at 11:30pm.
-
TitanTV tells me that Funny You Should Ask airs a second episode at 4:30 am, after a "new" episode of Comics Unleashed. I'm sure that it is hardly NEW! NEW! NEW!
-
Milwaukee also gets a second run of Funny You Should Ask at 10:30pm.
-
Funny You Should Ask airs in Philly on WPSG at 12 and 12:30. Everything else is the same.
-
Down here in Miami-Ft. Lauderdale:
8:00 am weekdays: Funny You Should Ask, WBFS MyTV 33 (single run)
10:00 am weekdays: Let's Make A Deal, CBS4
11:00 am weekdays: The Price is Right, CBS4
5:00 pm weekdays: Family Feud, WBFS MyTV 33 (2 hours worth)
7:00 pm weekdays: Wheel of Fortune, WPLG Local 10 (ABC)
7:30 pm weekdays: Jeopardy!, WPLG Local 10 (ABC)
1:37 am weekdays: WWTBAM, WPLG Local 10 (ABC)
-
Bumping this up to note that WWTBAM has returned to the Atlanta airwaves.
WPCH (Peachtree TV), which dropped the show from the fall schedule back in September, has brought it back for a single run weekday mornings at 8:30am ET.
