Season 39 Pre-emptions and Anomalies

World Series Game 2 ran until about 11:34 Eastern. Wheel should air in its entirety in Hawaii tonight. Game 5 is now necessary, but this does not affect Wheel.

^ In KGO's case, likely Saturday 11/13 at 10:00 PM Pacific in place of the rerun, even if the guides still list it as a rerun.

Reminder that the CMA Red Carpet special at 7:30 ET/PT only airs on ABC O&O's (produced by KABC) and Nexstar-owned ABC stations (produced by WKRN).

WoF is on tonight on FOX.

THURSDAY 11/11 (#S-7469)

On WANE in Fort Wayne, Indiana and WROC in Rochester, New York, both CBS affiliates, Wheel is pre-empted for local Veterans Day specials, as is the case every year. Wheel will air at 1:37 AM Eastern on both stations.


Also, this is the first Thursday Night Football broadcast after the time change. Since Hawaii does not observe Daylight Savings Time, this means TNF now pre-empts KHON's 6:00 newscast, which now moves to 6:30 and forces Wheel to move to 7:00 PM Hawaii Time. However, this now means that for the rest of the season, if TNF overruns at all (past 11:30 Eastern), Wheel will be joined in progress or skipped, since the 6:00 news always runs for a full 30 minutes.

TNF ran until midnight ET, so no Wheel in Hawaii tonight.

KHON used to move Wheel to 8:00 for post-DST TNF. Not sure why they want to screw the show even more by giving it zero overrun margin.

You know what else we got the 40th anniversary coming up so don't forget but you've already seen season 39 took everything in change so it's just the 40th anniversary is the same but the music intro changes and when the show starts it opens with the very first clip from S1 1983

When it came on ABC IN 1983 however there will be some clips from the other wolf the breakfast version that stared in the 70s on NBC before The dinner version on ABC IN 1983 because wheel of fortune will really be 48 Years since it first came on in 1975 there will have that and the past clips of Wheel from the last 39 Years also there will be more differnces big ones between S39 And S40

S39 Changes
1. Music
The music now has the changing keys again since 2005 they had used it but now it's back it uses it on the intro and the end credits everything from the toss up toss up solve cue speed up bouns round bouns spin rstlne reveal letter picking bouns round bouns solve bouns cue slice bouns win prize reveal in game puzzle cue solve and commerical break expect for the final spin when the wheel spins which I will get to

2. Set
the is final changed it colud have waited til at least the 40th since we're a year away from the 40th but because it's been 10 technically 18 Years since the set was remade in 2003 it's remade now it also uses its some of its set from The primetime edtion to the plain Wheel of fortune

3. Free play is dead
The free play is actually 10 Years since its debut in 2009 on the 27th seaseon after 11 Years of the wegde it's gone
With just a yellow 850 wegde that now means the free spin and play is gone all toghter which means you now have one turn so your at risk now at losing your turn if you even make 1 mistake well too bad

4. Pat retires the final spin wheel
Pat has now ceased with the wheel the player who spins now gets to spin the wheel themselves now after the bell rings

5. Toss up
The person who solves all 3 toss ups Winn $10,000
S40 changes most of these are carried over from s39 but they are some differences between
