I'd prepare for widespread preemptions tonight given today's events. We'll see.

Probably. I'm scheduling the 7:00 and 7:30 slots on WABC's subchannel to record just in case.
I'm quickly losing interest in scouring every affiliate, BTW. It's getting to be unhealthy for me. I'll probably check out of curiosity to see if any of the California affiliates make up yesterday's show tonight assuming coverage is over by then, but I'm not going to waste energy writing down which stations air Wheel and which ones don't, especially during situations like what's going on right now. Not anymore. It's not worth it, especially when it makes it look like I'm trivializing more important situations.

^ This right here. MarioGS I will tell you, if no one else has, how appreciative I am of the hard work you've always put forth in finding out all of the information that you do. It has been a great help to not just me, but countless others. We all come to points in our lives where we have to cool our jets, take a break, and take time for ourselves to focus on our mental wellbeing. I applaud you for being so forthcoming and transparent. It isn't anyone's business but your own, but you were willing to share it regardless. I'll be the first to say, even as just an interim recapper or whatever I may become here again, I won't be taking the time to do the amount of work he did to find out all of that information. Frankly, I don't have that much time or the energy to do it. I will keep providing recaps nightly because it's fun and I enjoy doing them. But, if I ever need a break for any reason, you can bet I'm going to take it because at the end of the day, there is only one me in this world. If someone else wants to step up to the plate and do what all Mario was doing in his own personal time, of his own volition, by all means, please do. I am sure it will be just as appreciated. Wheel is my favorite game show, heck, my favorite TV show and has been since I was 2 1/2 years old (almost 30!! years). But, it's just that - a game. Life happens. The world happens. We are living in crazy, crazy times right now. If an episode is missed here or there, so be it. It's not the end of the world. There will be more. That episode may be delayed, or replayed some other time. Life goes on whether Wheel does or not. So, please, keep that in mind before you get bent out of shape because a breaking news story of far more importance cuts off a few moments or a whole episode of a television show that I can promise you will be able to see again. That's all. Take this as you will. I say this with all the love and sincerity I have in my heart.

WDAF - KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI Because Jeopardy! got pre-empted by the Capitol coverage, it is replacing Wheel tonight at 6:30 PM Central (assuming coverage ends by then). Wheel is bumped to 11:00 PM, replacing TMZ.
I'm sure there will be other Central and Mountain Time Zone stations making similar moves given all the publicity about Alex's final episodes being this week. Similarly, if coverage ends by 7:00, I imagine there will be stations that replace Wheel with local newscasts since local news was wiped out for the whole afternoon. I'm not going to go through them all, but just want to make people aware that Wheel may get replaced by news or J!.
If all else fails, use the Locast trick at 9:00 PM Eastern tonight to watch KTVK 3 in Phoenix. They haven't aired any Capital coverage at all today.

Some 7:30 Pacific airings got at least mostly pre-empted by ABC News coverage of the Georgia election. EDIT: KABC Los Angeles lost the full show. According to scottman82wheelfan , KABC ran a crawl during last night's Jeopardy! announcing that Tuesday's Wheel will be delayed to Saturday at the normal time, replacing the S37 rerun. Remember that Weekend Wheel is back to its regular time on the West Coast now that College Football's over.

7:00 ABC airings are likely going to be pre-empted (and likely 7:30 airings by association due to makeups of local news or Jeopardy!), since David Muir did not sign off like he usually does.
EDIT: WABC and WPVI are airing Jeopardy! are normal right now and they are not simulcasting it on Localish.

WJLA airing Wheel at 1:05am. But in general ABC national coverage seem to be taking 7-8pm off.

WBZ in Boston is pre-empting Wheel tonight for a news special. Does anybody have a clue what time it airs in Boston?

Alright, I went through the 7:00 airings I have access to. These stations were airing Wheel at 7:00 instead of news:
FOX: - All 7:00 airings were intact
ABC: - All except WJLA Washington DC and WPBF West Palm Beach, both replacing Wheel with local news
CBS: - WTSP Tampa, FL - WCTV Tallahassee, FL - WANE Fort Wayne, IN - WSBT South Bend, IN - WHP Harrisburg, PA - WFMY Greensboro, NC - WIVB Buffalo, NY - WROC Rochester, NY - WOIO Cleveland, OH - WKBN Youngstown, OH - WPRI Providence, RI - WBTW Myrtle Beach, SC - WDBJ Roanoke, VA
NBC: - WTHR Indianapolis, IN - WPBN Traverse City, MI - WLIO Lima, OH - WCYB Bristol, VA
The majority of CBS's cut away from the coverage, while most NBC's are sticking with it. WXIA Atlanta (NBC) is not airing Wheel and, against precedent, is not airing it on their MyTV sister station WATL either.

Knowing them, probably 2:37am or never But what if tonight's episode did not air on WBZ at all? I think you should know by now that WBZ doesn't care about making up Wheel. If something suddenly comes up for Wheel, they do nothing. Unsurprisingly, they are making up J!: it's moved to sister WSBK, which they normally only do if a tourney ep is pre-empted.

WWMT - GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN (CBS) Wheel will air at 1:37 AM Eastern in place of an infomercial.
KTVT - DALLAS, TEXAS (CBS) Wheel is airing right now on sister station KTXA, replacing what is normally a repeat of KTVT's 6:00 news.

Wheel did air, but it was last night's episode by mistake. Jeopardy! was the right episode, though.
