Jeopardy Showdown 1/7/20

[AppleDumpling]

It is on ABC in New York City, and always has been, AFAIK, at least as long as Alex Trebek has been host.

I was curious about where it is aired in different areas, and found out some facts. In 7 of the top 10 largest markets, it is aired on ABC. (This comes from Matt Carberry and was published in Aug or Sept of 2019.)

ABC 52 stations (24.8%) has 41.6% of the viewers
NBC 70 stations (33.3%) has 24.7%
CBS 71 stations (33.8%) has 22.4%
FOX 12 stations (5.7%) has 6.1%
IND stations make up 3 (1.4%) and have 5%

Jeapordy and Wheel are both on Fox here, back to back.

It’s a 4 night special, so don’t miss the rest of it! It’ll be on tonight, Wednesday, Thursday, and next Tuesday.

January 7, 8, 9. January 14, 15, 16 & 17.

 

[Searc]

January 7, 8, 9. January 14, 15, 16 & 17.

It will run until one of them wins three games.

 

[wvjules]

It will run until Thursday at the earliest and next Friday at the latest. I'm hoping it goes to at least early next week.

Same here.

Looking forward to watching the show, starting soon!

I feel like James has the advantage due to momentum and his playing style. Loved watching him. The other two will have to change their strategy to compete, which may put them out of their comfort zone. However, I’m sure they are all well-prepared and anything is possible. I have a soft spot for Ken. Didn’t see Brad’s original shows, so he’s the wild card for me. All smart players, all fast buzzers, any of them would be a worthy winner.

Great first game but I won't spoil it for those who have not seen it. Can't wait to see the next 2 rounds.......

Yes. Same. As far back as I remember too.

 

[Hillbeans]

That was exciting television. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s episode!

 

[msjprincess]

I know it's been on ABC before but the past few years it's been airing on Fox.

Not where I live. It's always been on the ABC affiliate.

 

[kaytieeldr]

And here, both shows have always been on CBS.

 

[kathyk2]

James and Ken are my favorites contestants so I want either of them to win. Jeopardy is on a CBS affiliate in Boston.

 

[wgeo]

It was really fun to watch last night. Wonder if Brad was having an off night or if its really gonna be between James and Ken.

 

[Searc]

Who won last night? I think James is going to win overall, because of his unorthodox playing style.

 

[wgeo]

Spoiler

Ken won, James did not get any daily doubles.

Who won last night? I think James is going to win overall, because of his unorthodox playing style.

Spoiler

Ken won, $63,400 to James' $63,200. Brad finished with just over $10,000.

Thanks, @kaytieeldr

It never once occurred to me that Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune weren't 100% on ABC. Weird.

 

[MGMmjl]

Here, Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune both air on the CBS affiliate. Jeopardy airs at 9:30 am and Wheel of Fortune at 6:30 pm.
