SPFLD Mom misses Jeopardy on WAND

Mom sat down to watch Jeopardy today at 4:30 PM but was shocked to learn that it just ended as she turned on her television.

WAND-TV suddenly changed the schedule in a bid to get a scoop on other networks reporting on the Rod Blagojevich story. They aired a news program they called "First News at 4:30."

Really? How many moms did you piss off by bumping Alex Trebek back one hour just so you could get your Rod Blagojevich scoop?

Other networks were oblivious to this strategy. WCIA had Oprah with guest Ted Haggard and his wife; WICS had Judge Judy; The CW had Tyra Banks. Fox had an old episode of Friends.

Mom switched over to Oprah, and clutching her chest and groaning in agony over the BS spewing out of Ted Haggard's mouth.

WAND has blown its news load prematurely. I hope it was worth it.
