Programming
Syndicated programming on WJLA includes Jeopardy! (since 1984), Wheel of Fortune (since 1990), The Oprah Winfrey Show (1989-2011), and Live with Regis and Kelly. As one of the largest stations not owned-and-operated by the network, the station generally clears all ABC programming, with only two exceptions. Locally-produced sports and election specials preempt the first hour of primetime on a few days in late summer and early fall, while the poorly-watched Saturday night network lineup is occasionally thrown out during the summer in favor of an old movie. If needed, WJLA reschedules network programming at its earliest convenience, usually during the overnight hours. In most cases, any preempted network programming can be seen on Baltimore's WMAR, which is receivable in Washington and its close suburbs with a rooftop antenna.
WJLA airs Clean Skies Sunday, a program on energy issues produced by the American Clean Skies Foundation, a non-profit run by natural-gas billionaire Aubrey McClendon, CEO of Chesapeake Energy.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
