    Deeply weird, but you have to assume it was clumsy cross-promotion for the NASCAR race the next day and not an anti-LGBTQ message, right?
    Does Jeopardy air on any Fox stations? Everywhere I've lived, it was always CBS or ABC, IIRC.

    Misleading, but par for the course on Fox.

    Only seen Jeopardy on ABC, never CBS, but I'm not an avid watcher.

    It's on a relatively small number of Fox-affiliated stations. Denver is the largest, I believe.

    CBS distributes Jeopardy!, so that may play a factor on what stations get it. My impression is that it's more likely to be on the CBS station.

    It has been on the Denver Fox station for at least five years, maybe longer. Before that, it was on the ABC affiliate.

    I grew up with Wheel and Jeopardy on the same CBS channel and am weirded out when they are separated.

    Chicago and Fort Wayne airing Jeopardy in the afternoon was weird to me, too.

    As a kid I’d watch the Fort Wayne broadcast and then amaze visitors with my Jeopardy ability when the Toledo airing came on a couple hours later. Real Phil Connors shit.

    There's so many other ways Fox could have cross-promoted it. But to imply Busch threw out the first pitch? The crowd shots should have been a giveaway. No way Oracle is half-full for Giants-Dodgers. And would Busch's team really let him go down to San Francisco the day before the race? I doubt Jeopardy had much to do with it.

    I'm also very surprised they thought they could get away with it.

    Facts and truth don't matter to FOX. It's finally drifted to their sports coverage.
