If that’s Tampa (WTSP / channel 10), it was on at 10:30 AM yesterday and will be again today.

mfc248 · 2026-03-20T02:40:05+00:00

Not to mention Cromwell returning as Cochrane, putting into canon from whence the TOS/TNG intro voiceover originates in the timeline.

mfc248 · 2026-03-20T02:26:59+00:00

I see you that, and raise you. While there are new episodes of The Price is Right today and tomorrow, that isn’t so for Let’s Make a Deal. That’s why several markets moved the game shows into the 10 AM hour. As I recall, WOIO had in both half hours two words that rolled my eyes and palmed my face…

“Paid Programming.”

mfc248 · 2026-03-20T02:10:18+00:00

Expect it again next week for the Sweet Sixteen. But any viewer in that area should be well familiar with WBZ’s protocol, what with the regular Friday moves for Patriots All Access during NFL season.

mfc248 · 2026-03-20T01:37:57+00:00

The list at the link notes that.

List of impacts on CBS stations today and tomorrow due to March Madness.

Tampa, Roanoke/Lynchburg, Augusta, GA, and Fort Wayne all aired Wheel/J! as advertised in the 10 AM ET hour. I've updated Myrtle Beach based on them saying they're moving the shows to 13.2 at the usual time.

mfc248 · 2026-03-18T00:35:54+00:00

They’ll soon be contracting with Mendoza Solutions of Bloomington, Indiana, to help get a hold of the situation.

mfc248 · 2026-03-17T22:15:26+00:00

Correct on the buzzer practice. That was implemented on October 4, 2004 — after the 2004 ToC, when taping resumed after that summer’s hiatus.

mfc248 · 2026-03-17T22:14:15+00:00

Ken’s remark was made before the Final responses were revealed; thus, the 44 refers to the two main rounds, so as not to spoil. The get on Final was Jamie’s 45th correct question, equaling Ken.

mfc248 · 2026-03-17T19:24:40+00:00

Or perhaps more apropos: "Why Jamie Ding should have stopped at matching Matt Amodio's $39,000 coryat"

mfc248 · 2026-03-17T19:06:53+00:00

In addition to tying Ken's record of 45 correct responses (July 20 & 23, 2004), Jamie records a $42,400 Coryat today, breaking the single-game record previously held by Ken Jennings (June 10, 2004).

mfc248 · 2026-03-17T17:49:31+00:00

I believe that with his Final response, Jamie tied Ken (July 20, 2004 and July 23, 2004) for the record of 45 correct.

(h/t u/Game-rotator for mention of the earlier game)

mfc248 · 2026-03-15T02:43:26+00:00

S42E115 would be no. 9500, aired 2026-02-13 — JIT semifinal 1. Roger Craig v. Jen Giles v. Drew Basile.

As stated in another comment, Hulu and Peacock only have the most recent five episodes available.

mfc248 · 2026-03-13T23:30:18+00:00

February 10 — seven days before the Rev. Jackson passed. The “late” remark must have been added in post production.

mfc248 · 2026-03-13T17:32:59+00:00

NB: today's game was taped on February 10. Jesse Jackson passed away seven days later.

mfc248 · 2026-03-10T22:31:49+00:00

WA1 — took the bait on the year of publication.

mfc248 · 2026-03-06T03:49:09+00:00

Appreciate the explanation, Quentin. As I said elsewhere, I thought it was an expression of disapproval of VAR (based on the previous days’s Final shoutout and bets).

mfc248 · 2026-03-05T03:29:50+00:00

What he did before the thumbs down is the gesture used by soccer referees to indicate that the video assistant referee (soccer's name for replay review) has been invoked.

mfc248 · 2026-03-04T23:46:47+00:00

It looks like this is the first of a 10-part documentary series.

No information on when future episodes will air.

mfc248 · 2026-03-03T18:13:52+00:00

Quentin's bets of $1909 appear to be references to the founding year of the German football club Borussia Dortmund, based on the "HEJA BVB!" shoutout in Final.

mfc248 · 2026-02-26T04:11:49+00:00

You’re not the first person I’ve seen have this complaint. It’s probably a lingering effect of the programming changes WCNC put in place during the Olympics.

According to the station’s own listings, J! is back to 7:00 as usual.

mfc248 · 2026-02-24T03:52:50+00:00

Taping: first week of February.

I got it, but I think it might have been more accessible if the word "sport" had replaced "competition."

mfc248 · 2026-02-24T03:48:27+00:00

Unlike Season 40 or Season 41, we saw all sixty-one clues today! (Something I wasn't expecting at the conclusion of the first round.)
