It moved back to the 3 pm hour on June 1, but sometime between now and then, it shifted back to 4 pm. WREX (NBC) in this market moved the first-run and daytime Jeopardy! airings from the 3 pm hour to the 4 pm hour to keep it clear of pandemic briefings. I discovered that u/MyronM mentioned this at the time on JBoard when it happened, including a link to the official announcement. On January 13 of this year, the stations combined their local news operations, and as a consequence, J! was moved from 2:30 pm on KSFY to 5 pm on KDLT. Gray Television, the owner of KSFY (ABC) - which had aired Jeopardy! in that market for decades, purchased KDLT (NBC) in late 2019. This is one that slipped by me a while back. WZTV (Fox) returned Jeopardy! to 5:00 pm there on June 1, following a brief relocation to 3:30 to de-conflict with pandemic briefings. While that's the only start-of-season alteration, several other corrections were made to the list. Accordingly, that change appears to implicate both the posting of game threads and the interpretation of our Rule 2 (the key time regarding both would now be 12:30 pm ET, after the show airs in those three markets I mentioned above). WAKA is realigning much of its daytime lineup as a result, the station surrenders its "first-in-the-nation" status to a trio of ABC affiliates: KLTV (Tyler, TX) WBBJ (Jackson, TN) and WTOK (Meridian, MS). Hat tip to u/thenmark2 for alerting us to this one in the comments. WAKA (CBS Montgomery-Selma, AL): 4:30 pm, previously 9:30 am. EDIT, 9/8/20: WDAF has confirmed that the show will be moving there. I'll be keeping a look out for a statement, but wanted to list this especially as a heads up to viewers in that area. What's frustrating about this is that as of now, neither KSHB nor WDAF has said anything about a move. (The Daytime J! rerun will fill out the hour following the new episode.) That 3:00 hour on KSHB goes over to The Drew Barrymore Show, a new talk show this season. Jeopardy! replaces The Mel Robbins Show, not renewed for a second season. The two main listings sites I use, Zap2it and TitanTV, were not in agreement on this one, but based on the totality of the evidence, this move appears to be going down. Kansas City: 2:00 pm on WDAF (Fox), previously 3:30 pm on KSHB (NBC). When new episodes get underway on September 14, only one market two markets will see a change - but the changes are quite substantial. With the new season now showing on TV listings sites, I've done my "virtual road trip from Columbus Circle to South Douglas Street" that is, I checked the listings in every Nielsen Designated Market Area in the United States, to make sure everything's on point. As many of you know, and for those who don't, I maintain a comprehensive list of every television station in the United States upon which Jeopardy! airs - and I've recently added a table with Canadian stations.
