BOOOYAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!
WBOC-Salisbury, MD is my local CBS affiliate (ranked about 140), and I am stoked they got around to clearing it for our area.
I must thank the people I know there for doing that. I’d like to think that it was me putting a bug in their ear about 3 months ago that helped facilitate getting it through, but WBOC has always been the big local syndie bandwagon, so I might just be overestimating myself… ;)

Interesting that this would go to Columbus’s GTN affiliate instead of our game show-heavy CBS, but I’m glad either way that someone will be carrying it here

Amazing…45 of the Top 50 markets, and of course Norfolk is one of the five not mentioned (we’re #42). Still holding out hope.

Alex, to answer your question, KING 5 or KONG TV 6/16 will carry Let’s Play Crosswords in Seattle

Geez I hate both names with a passion. Just say Crosswords and be done with it.

drat… didn’t see Las Vegas… unless I missed it. But I am reseasonably sure my station I work for (ABC affiliate) didn’t buy it… although we did get sent a bunch of promotional materials and a demo tape I do believe
