Jeopardy!: where and when

Since 2017, I've kept track of all the stations across the United States where Jeopardy! airs; Canadian stations airing the show are also now included. (Additionally, many cable providers in Canada carry affiliates of United States networks air Jeopardy! as well.) The show has its own "where to watch" page.

All but one U.S. TV market has a local affiliate showing Jeopardy!; that one is Glendive, Montana, the smallest in the country. Jeopardy! is available to cable subscribers there on KUMV (NBC Williston, ND).

The four markets in Arizona and Hawaii are denoted with a caret (^), indicating they do not observe Daylight Saving Time. This sheet shows the offsets to Eastern time and aggregated data tables under Standard Time; I have a separate version for Daylight Time, which will appear in this space once DST resumes in March.

The list now includes who owns each station. Owners underlined are networks that own and operate their stations. Owners in italics are locally based.

The list only includes the stations and airing times for new first-run Jeopardy! episodes. Airings of reruns, such as those airing on many stations on Saturdays from the prior season and those from several weeks earlier (the latter often listed as "Daytime Jeopardy!"), are not tracked here.

At the bottom, some breakdown tables. Perhaps someone can take this data and run an update on this blog post from 2014 (archive link) graphically rendering this data. Actually, now I've done so — by local time, by Eastern time, and by network. Also, I wrote a Substack post that contains all three and adds commentary.

A note on market rankings and sizes. I was able to find trustworthy information on Nielsen household counts for both Seasons 40 & 41, but it didn't include figures for the ten smallest Nielsen DMAs. All tables below have been updated based on these new numbers, while retaining the 2022-23 counts for markets 201 to 210. Here are those counts.

For anyone interested: the list of ZIP Codes I used to accomplish this.

The main table is sortable; clicking on a column's header cell will sort in ascending order; clicking again reverses the order.

1 KSNW (NBC Wichita) is the flagship of the regional Kansas State Network; its programming is retransmitted within the market by KSNC (Hays), KSNG (Garden City/Dodge City), KSNK (Oberlin/McCook, NE), and KSNL-LD (Salina).
2 KFYR (NBC Bismarck) is the flagship of the regional NBC North Dakota; its programming is retransmitted within the market by KMOT (Minot), KQCD (Dickinson), and KUMV (Williston).

Canadian stations

The five stations listed below are are all members of a "collective" called indieNET, which I imagine negotiates a single syndication agreement for all of them. (indieNET has a sixth member, CHCH, but it has the same regional coverage as CITS.)
