Friday's Wheel was pre-empted on KATU Portland by a special titled "Self Enhancement: Soul of the City", on a local African-American charity. Wheel did not air at all; Saturday's airing was still the Season 37 rerun. And no, the other show was not affected by this even though its reruns were much older and didn't have continuity for once...

WOLO Columbia, SC is preempting both Jeopardy and Wheel on Friday for a special titled "2021 College Football Preview". According to their schedule on their website both shows are moved to MeTV Channel 25.4 at 7 and 7:30. They usually never preempt both shows for specials like a lot of stations. They are very nice to both shows. Only time it's preempted is for nationally televised ABC events. I know it's rerun season but I'm a little upset over it because I like watching reruns too. I plan on watching the North Carolina Virginia Tech game at the same time but I won't be able to record the show to watch later.

The Season 39 premiere will be pre-empted due to a national Monday Night Football broadcast. Wheel will likely be put in later time slots between 9 and 11 PM Pacific, but as usual, it comes with the risk of getting joined in progress or skipped if the game runs too long.
Wheel may be pre-empted on WPVI Philadelphia tonight due to local tornado warnings. Coverage has been running since before 6:30; ABC World News Tonight and J! both aired on Localish.
Wednesday's Wheel was also briefly interrupted on WABC due to the flash flood warnings across the tri-state area. They cut in during the third Triple Toss-Up and returned just after the Speed-Up as Pat was recapping the final scores.
Thursday's Wheel is pre-empted on all mainland FOX affiliates except for the three that air it at 7:00 PM Eastern (WSYT, WXIX, KVHP) due to a national college football game with pregame starting at 7:30. WLUK Green Bay aired Wheel an hour early at 5:30 Central. All other affected airings are late at night; Hawaii will be impacted if the game overruns by more than 30 minutes, past midnight Eastern.
Wheel is also pre-empted tonight on WILX in Lansing, Michigan (NBC) by a high school football special. Wheel will be made up in two ways: it will air at its normal 7:00 PM Eastern time slot on its Heroes & Icons subchannel, and it will also air on WILX at 3:00 AM, replacing 25 Words or Less (which is being completely dropped in the market after this week). Although J! is not impacted by the special, it will also air on H&I, likely because airing only Wheel on there would result in half an episode of Baywatch.
Wheel is pre-empted on all NBC affiliates due to the 2021 NFL Kickoff starting at 7:00 PM Eastern.

Last night's NFL game ran long, so West Coast NBC airings may have been impacted.
Thursday's Wheel was pre-empted on WTVY in Dothan, Alabama (CBS) by a special titled "Never Forget", likely on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Thursday's episode will air late Friday/early Saturday at 2:07 AM Central.
Three local pre-emptions for Friday: - WBZ Boston, MA (CBS): Patriots All Access returns. Today, Wheel will air on WSBK (MyTV) at its normal time. It is not yet known if this will also be the case in Season 39. - WBNS Columbus, OH (CBS): Wheel will air at 2:37 AM Eastern due to an Ohio State Buckeyes special. - WCYB Tri-Cities, TN/VA (NBC): Due to a high school football game, Wheel is not airing at all.
Saturday's episode, the last airing of Season 37, an episode that was also pre-empted on all ABC affiliates the first time it aired, falls on the first day of college football on CBS, so most East Coast airings will be impacted by the inevitable overrun. Only NBC's and West Coast CBS's will be getting most of the next several Saturday reruns.
On KEYC in Mankato, Minnesota (CBS), Saturday's Wheel will air early at 11:30 AM Central since they will be locally carrying a Minnesota State college football game immediately following the national games on CBS.
