While checking my listings to see what time we'd be getting the trial run of potential new game show Pictionary, I discovered that we're getting yet another instance of an episode that will be pre-empted in the same market(s) twice, and it's a Secret Santa episode at that...
My listings on the Xfinity app show 25 Words or Less, normally on WNYW FOX 5 at 6:30 PM Eastern, totally absent for that day (the secondary run at 12:30 PM will go to Pictionary during its trial run starting 7/12), as well as the usual 7:00 airing of Extra and 7:30 airing of TMZ (which usually moves to 6:30 and pre-empts 25WOL when pre-empted by sports, but that's not the case here). Also, WNYW's 10 PM newscast (titled The 10 O'Clock News) is listed for 11:00 PM that day. This is very likely due to the MLB All-Star Game. Some sources say coverage starts at 7:30 Eastern, but the missing WNYW show listings on Xfinity suggest it will start at 6:30, which would pre-empt all FOX airings of Wheel (except hopefully KHON in Hawaii), and would also mean that WLUK in Green Bay wouldn't be able to air Wheel an hour early at 6:30 ET/5:30 CT like they would usually do.
The original airing of the July 13 rerun (December 8) was pre-empted on all mainland FOX stations by a Cowboys/Ravens game postponed from the previous Thursday. Unlike most TNF games, this game's coverage started at 7:00 Eastern instead of 7:30, so all airings of Wheel were impacted. However, WSYT in Syracuse, NY aired Wheel early at 6:00 PM Eastern that day. Going by their precedent, there is a chance they may air 7/13's Wheel as early as 5:30 if the All-Star Game starts at 6:30 (or they may just move Wheel to WSYT-DT3 at 7:00).

These are all the days Pacific and Arizona ABC airings of Wheel will be affected regardless of how many games ECF goes: - Game 1 or 2: Thursday, July 8 (12/3/20, Shopping Spree Day 4, Christina/Chris/Sheryl)
- Game 3 or 4: Wednesday, July 14 (12/9/20, Secret Santa Day 3, Tasha/Jeff/Nyaesha)
- Game 6 (if necessary): Tuesday, July 20 (12/15/20, Secret Santa Day 7, Sean/Diana/Jen)
- Game 7 (if necessary): Thursday, July 22 (12/17/20, Secret Santa Day 9, Giavanni/Dawn/Cary)
If the Eastern Conference Finals does not go to seven games, Wheel will be affected on: - Game 1: Tuesday, July 6 (12/1/20, Shopping Spree Day 2, James/Kathy/Michelle)
- Game 5 (if necessary): Saturday, July 17 (10/18/19, S37 Great Northwest Day 5, Robyn/Matt/Melissa)
Milwaukee won the Eastern Conference on Game 6, so there will be no Game 7, and the NBA Finals will start Tuesday. This means one less Secret Santa episode impacted than if Atlanta had won, but it also means an additional airing of Wheel is impacted due to a Saturday game, and there is at least one KABC viewer on that day's episode (that I know personally and was excited to see his ep was rerunning on 7/17). Maybe KABC won't do Slam Dunk since there are no California teams in the Finals?

WPVI is only airing Wheel at the standard 7:30 two days this week. Scheduling for this week is still not 100% clear, but it appears to be as follows: Monday: Airing on WPVI-DT2 (Localish) due to The Disney Holiday Singalong moving an hour early on WPVI only. Tuesday: Airing at the normal time. Wednesday: Airing Thursday at 7:30 PM due to the annual special Philly Celebrates the Holidays on Wednesday. Thursday: Airing Friday night/Saturday morning at 2:30 AM. Friday: Airing Friday night/Saturday morning at 3:00 AM due to a holiday shopping special. Philadelphia viewers, Shopping Spree week was all mixed up back in November/December, but now's your chance to catch it without any planned interruption. WPVI has all six airings of Wheel at the normal times this week. They did pre-empt last Saturday's rerun for a Fourth of July special, however. Not that this is a stellar week...

I completely forgot... the Stanley Cup Finals are underway, which affects Wheel on West Coast NBC stations. NBC has been airing the games starting from Game 3 last Friday. Game 4 is Monday, and if Tampa doesn't sweep, Game 5 is Wednesday, and Game 6 is on Friday. Luckily, Week 1 of Summer Secret Santa won't be affected since Game 7 will be Sunday. Air times for West NBC's are as follows. !! means Wheel is scheduled immediately after the game; !N means it's scheduled after local news following the game. Wheel may get joined in progress, skipped entirely, or start delayed if the game runs long (the winning game most likely will, given that it is usually followed by a lengthy award ceremony). KPVI has Wheel right after J!, and I believe they have a policy of airing J! in its entirety following sports and JIP'ing Wheel when they run long. By the way, this is the last year the Stanley Cup will be on the NBC networks. Starting next year, they will air on ABC/ESPN. REGION | AFFILIATE | WHEEL AIRING | TIME ZONE | Idaho Falls, ID

Stanley Cup Game 4 went into overtime. East Coast newscasts started at 11:13. I don't have access to any West NBC's except KNSD anymore, but I imagine KNVN will start Wheel from the beginning, and KPVI will join it in progress during R3 after J! finishes airing in its entirety. Hopefully KNSD won't JIP Wheel after their news. I want to say KNSD and KMIR have a 30-minute minimum for post-sports local newscasts, so if that is the case, Wheel should be fine on both. (EDIT: Wheel aired on time and in full on KNSD)
And to add salt to the wound, Montreal denied Tampa's sweep, which means Wheel will be pre-empted again on West NBC's on Wednesday. If Montreal wins that game too, add Friday as well.
I really miss my old IPTV, which expired in March. It had every NBC in the country (at least the ones that carry Wheel, even the tiniest markets), and had closed captioning. The only good things about my new one is that it has more stations in 60 FPS and it has NTV so I can catch Wheel at 3:30 (albeit in bad quality and in an improper aspect ratio).

According to a viewer of WATM in Johnstown, Pennsylvania (ABC), last Thursday, 7/1, Final Jeopardy! was accidentally skipped, resulting in Wheel airing from 7:26-7:53, followed by "an extra-long house ad."

NBA FINALS
Wheel will be pre-empted on West Coast ABC affiliates, including Arizona, at least this Tuesday, Thursday, and next Wednesday during Secret Santa. Due to the Finals' last-minute scheduling, some stations have their lineups listed as "To Be Announced", meaning we don't know when, or if, Wheel will air.
All West Coast airings of the games will be followed by the special "Game Night" edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which always runs for a full half hour even if the game runs long (since it airs before the game on the East Coast and on KOTA). Most stations are putting JKL immediately after the game, though others, like KABC and KGO, are putting local news or postgame programming in between them.
! means that Wheel is immediately after the game itself or Jimmy Kimmel Live: Game Night and will be joined in progress or skipped if the game runs long. + means that Wheel will start later than the time listed, but will air in its entirety, if the NBA game runs long.

KGO is doing After the Game for an entire 90 minutes. Because of this and JKL, there is only one time slot open for other programming prior to the 11:00 news at 10:30, and of course the other game show gets that slot while Wheel has to air overnight and will screw over potential Secret Santa winners at least once next week. I doubt they'll run ATG past 10:00 and slide JKL unless the game goes extremely long.

NBA ran over because of 10 minutes of postgame interviews and discussion... East Coast newscasts started at 11:38.
KABC's sports reporter told me that no programs after Slam Dunk will slide when games run long, so Wheel should air in its entirety on all game days.

KGUN Tucson started Wheel at about 9:38 Pacific, following JKL and J!; all three aired in their entirety. KOMO Seattle also aired Wheel late, but in its entirety, at about 9:08 following JKL.
KATU Portland aired JKL, then local news, which is still running as of now, so I assume they're going to run that for a full hour to about 10:08, then show J! in full, then JIP Wheel around R2... as usual. -_-
KFSN Fresno aired local news after the game and started JKL at 9:30. J! and Wheel followed at 10:00 and 10:30. This was also the case on KXTV Sacramento.
So when NBA runs over, Wheel gets JIP'd on KOTA, KAEF, and KATU. It starts late, but airs in its entirety, on KGUN and KOMO. All other known West ABC's start it at the time listed regardless of when the game ends.

Good news, KATU viewers! I just got a call from their manager, Cortland, who said he is very understanding of J! and Wheel's strong fanbases and has rearranged their game day schedule moving forward such that the 9:00 (or later) local news will never run past 10:00, which means J! will no longer need to start later than that, and Wheel will no longer get joined in progress, except in the very unlikely event that an NBA game runs 60+ minutes over, which would make Kimmel run past 10:00.

Tampa won. Wheel will air at its normal time on West NBC's on Friday (and Sunday in KHQ's case). Tonight's broadcast ran over, with East Coast newscasts starting at 11:13 Eastern.
The original airing of this episode (12/2/20) was also pre-empted on some NBC stations both in the East and West, due to NBC making up the constantly-postponed Thanksgiving NFL game (which ran until 7:00 with some stations opting to do local news at that time), a Steelers postgame show on WPXI, and the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting, which starts at 7:00 Eastern/Pacific on the O&O's and some other affiliates.
KNSD San Diego was the only NBC station to pre-empt this episode twice. The first airing didn't air at all, but this airing will air at 9:00 Pacific.

NBA Finals Game 2 overran with East Coast newscasts beginning at 11:40 Eastern. JIP'd airings of Wheel will probably start mid-R2. Wheel won't be affected again until next Wednesday with Game 4. Game 3 will be on Sunday.
Phoenix won the first two games. If Milwaukee wins at all, Game 5 will be needed and will pre-empt Wheel on Saturday 7/17, one of the few July reruns with a Bonus Round win.

At least for WABC, Wheel will be preempted this Friday for a holiday gift special #Be Localish: Holiday Deals & Steals. Hopefully they move Wheel over to the Localish channel. That special is on all the ABC O&O's. The rerun of this episode is on tonight at its regular time on all seven of the ABC O&O's. Now's your chance to catch it if you missed it on Localish or whatever time slot it was moved to.

Milwaukee won Game 3, which means Wheel will be pre-empted on West Coast ABC's by Game 5 on 7/17. Another win from them will impact Wheel on Tuesday 7/20. TV listings have all seven games on ABC's schedule instead of adding Games 5-7 as they become necessary. KABC shows that their Wheel scheduling for Saturday (the only one impacted by the Finals) will be the same as the weekdays: 10:30 PM Pacific, following Slam Dunk, Kimmel, and J!. Hopefully Matt will get to see his rerun in its entirety, even if it's three hours later than everyone's used to.

Just like with the original airing, WSYT will air Wheel an hour early tonight, and WLUK will do so this time, too.
!30/!60 means that Wheel will be joined in progress if the game runs 30 or 60 minutes over. Late-night airings may start later than the time listed if the game runs long. REGION | STATION | WOF AIRING

MLB signed off at 11:40 Eastern. Wheel should be fine in Hawaii, but probably not in Lake Charles (can't verify since it's a tiny market with no feeds). Those who have to DVR overnight airings should record the two shows after Wheel.

Updated the NBA air times table further up this page. Added Wheel times for the two unknown markets.
Also, Wheel is actually not impacted on KOTA in Rapid City, at least not anymore. Last week, their listings said that Kimmel would air before the game like on the East Coast, then Wheel would air after the game at 9:30 Mountain. This week, Kimmel and Wheel are swapped so that Wheel is at its regular time and Kimmel is now after the game, and indeed Wheel is airing right now. Not sure which was the case last week; their website still has Kimmel at 6:00 and 9:30 listed as "TBA". J! moves to 1:30 AM on game days.

NBA overran yet again. East Coast newscasts started at 11:47.
Milwaukee won, which means Game 6 will pre-empt Wheel next Tuesday. If the team who wins Game 5 doesn't also win 6, then Wheel will be pre-empted next Thursday as well with the maximum Game 7.
