Hello there! Some of you might be wondering how to watch Wheel or Jeopardy online with all the recent DirecTV/CBS/Nexstar/MPS Media and Dish/Meredith contract disputes, or perhaps just want to watch the show online. It's actually quite simple, using CBS All Access, which is $6 a month and allows you to watch live local broadcasts from any CBS affiliate. Combine that with an internet browser extension that spoofs your location, and you can watch Wheel live as it airs on various CBS stations across the country.
Here's how. Install the browser extension Location Guard in Mozilla Firefox. Close and restart Firefox after you first install it. In the Options tab of Location Guard, set the Default Level to "Use Fixed Location." Then go to the Fixed Location tab, zoom/scroll the map to the desired city, and drop a pin. (Make sure you actually drop a pin; it doesn't work if you just scroll to an area.) Then log in to CBS All Access, and click Live TV to stream the local broadcast from the desired area.
Here's a chart of all CBS stations and what time they air Wheel in Eastern time
*Owned-and-operated CBS station
(FS) = Football Season. WBZ Boston pre-empts Wheel and Jeopardy! every Friday with local program Patriots All Access.
