On Tuesday, Wheel will be preempted by live election coverage on the big three networks. The show will be unaffected on FOX affiliates.

NBC is my Wheel affiliate and it will also be preempted on 11/9 because of the election.
Luckily, the episodes will still be on at the same time as usual just on My Network TV (which is owned by my local NBC channel).

I noticed this, too. It says that it's not a rerun but it is.
Not sure when/if the actual episode will air.
The episode that was aired tonight was 11/23/15 from season 33.

Each episode is supposed to air one day behind its normal scheduled airdate, except for Monday evening. Hope that helps you all for viewing this week's Veterans! |

livewire, did they mention that at the taping, or is that just what your local station is doing? According to various tweets, some stations have been airing Wheel anyway, but they've been airing the rerun that TLC mentioned, which was actually slated to air this Saturday. I guess it's possible that they're pushing back the rest of the week by doing this with Friday's show taking the place of the Saturday rerun, or at least airing Tuesday's show on Saturday. However, Canada apparently got tonight's episode as there are a few tweets from Canadians mentioning a contestant named Brenda, who does not appear on the rerun.

How dare they screw up Veterans week to celebrate these 2 clowns trying to get in the White House!
Just disrespectful!

^ Let's keep political opinions out of this, please. This is a Wheel of Fortune fan forum, after all.

so it really looks like they moved Saturday's rerun up, but not all stations are following protocol, and of course Canada is fine.
What a mess! Syndication should mean you should air the eps where they should be like previous election nights, now we have quite a jumbled order here...

How Odd! What's really bad is that I thought the America's Game episode was from later in Season 34, somehow, because of my lack of previous viewing. It was only the $33,000 that tipped me off.

Interestingly, that particular episode was the second-to-last episode (by airing order) to use the previous Wheel layout before the mid-season change, with the yellow and pink $900 and orange $800 wedges.

Are WABC and/or KABC airing it any chance?

WABC did not air Wheel nor Jeopardy!. I checked to see if they moved them to the abandoned Live Well Network subchannel like they sometimes do, but they did not. KABC isn't known to move the shows nor air them overnight, either.
I guess some of us are going to get a NEW-new episode tomorrow while others will get the show that was supposed to air tonight. Whatever the case where you live, you'll have your answer based on whether there's a contestant named Brenda or not.

How dare they screw up Veterans week to celebrate these 2 clowns trying to get in the White House! Just disrespectful! I don't think it has much to do with them celebrating anything. I think they just realized that a large portion of the country wouldn't be able to view the episode because of the coverage that's out of their control. In regards to the coverage, regardless of political affiliation or disdain for politics, this is extremely important. It is about the future of our country. Disappointed in the decision not to just go ahead and air it, but it makes total sense. Because of that, at this moment I have no idea when tonight's episode will air here in Baltimore. There will be no Saturday run because of college football and no Sunday one because of NFL football. I'll have to see if WBFF updates the schedule on their website later this week. And for the record, Jeopardy aired proper today here in Baltimore. I guess they didn't want to shift everything with a tournament coming up. |

According to my guide, Wheel will also not air on my NBC channel tomorrow, either. Instead, it's supposed to be moved to My Network TV like it was supposed to be tonight. I guess I'll just have to wait and see how it goes...
