This Thanksgiving and Black Friday are chock-full of sports, some of which will get in the way of Wheel.
Thursday 11/23 (Thanksgiving)
Wheel of Fortune will be pre-empted on CBS affiliates in the Eastern and Central time zones and on NBC affiliates in the Mountain and Pacific Time Zones. 6:00 PM Mountain airings of Wheel on CBS could also be affected if their game runs overtime.
CBS has the NFL Chargers @ Cowboys game scheduled from 4:00-8:00 PM Eastern. NBC has the NFL Giants @ Redskins game scheduled from 8:00-11:30 PM Eastern. NBC's Thursday Night Football coverage, which normally starts at 7:30 Eastern, does not begin until 8:00 on Thanksgiving, so Wheel will not be affected on any Eastern or Central NBC affiliates this week.
Friday 11/24
Wheel of Fortune will be pre-empted on all FOX affiliates. 7:00 PM Eastern airings of Wheel on ABC could also be affected if their games run overtime.
FOX has two sporting events lined up: the College Basketball Las Vegas Invitational from 5:30-8:00 PM Eastern followed by the Texas Tech @ Texas College Football game from 8:00-11:30 PM. ABC has two College Football games scheduled from 12:00-3:30 PM Eastern and 3:30-7:00 PM.
If your market is affected, check your local listings to see if your station will be moving Wheel to a different station or time.

WBZ in Boston aired it at 1:37 AM. It wasn't actually listed, but it's what they usually do if it can't air in the normal time slot. So sometimes it's a question of knowing what you're station usually does. I remember awhile back somebody compiled a nice list of all the affiliates that are effected, and posted a chart of what they usually do to make up for the airings.

Last night, NBC affiliate KSBY in Santa Barbara aired Jeopardy! and Wheel at 9:00 and 9:30 PM Pacific, as they appear to have done for every TNF conflict to date. Baltimore's FOX affiliate WBFF is moving tonight's Jeopardy! to 2:39 AM and Wheel will not be airing at all.

My local FOX network bumped JEOPARDY! to an earlier time at 3 in the afternoon Mountain Standard Time, but they had to bump Wheel Of Fortune late at night on Saturday at 2 in the morning my time.

The 7:00-7:30 Eastern slot got pre-empted completely on ABC. The second College Football game ended at 7:22 and a brief postgame show filled the rest of the slot. So all of the big four pre-empted Wheel in at least two time zones on one of the two days. WABC in New York actually aired the first two seconds of Jeopardy!'s intro before cutting to Wheel's intro.
