John Snell WVUE-TV
WVUE-DT also known as Channel 8 is a television station in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. It is affiliated with the Fox network and owned by Gray Television. Channel 8 maintains primary studios on Norman C. Francis Parkway in the city’s Gert Town section, with a secondary studio within the Benson Tower in downtown New Orleans. Its transmitter is located on Magistrate Street in Chalmette, Louisiana.
Channel 8 currently carries most of the Fox network schedule, though it delays the network’s Saturday late-night hour by a half-hour due to a 10:00 p.m. newscast. Syndicated programs broadcast by the station as of September 2021 include Rachael Ray, Wheel of Fortune, Live with Kelly and Ryan, Right This Minute, 25 Words or Less, Judge Judy, Jeopardy, and Schitt’s Creek.
Channel 8 is one of ten Fox affiliates to air both Jeopardy and Wheel; the others being WBFF in Baltimore; WSYT in Syracuse, New York; WXIX-TV in Cincinnati; WLUK-TV in Green Bay, Wisconsin; KDVR in Denver; KVHP in Lake Charles, Louisiana; WALA-TV in Mobile, Alabama; WLUC-DT2 in Marquette, Michigan; and WDAF-TV in Kansas City.
WVUE consistently ranked third in the ratings behind WWL-TV and WDSU-TV throughout the 1970s and 1980s. One of the primary reasons for its third-place position was the station’s heavy preemptions of network programs. The station also did not carry many of the network’s Saturday morning cartoons, and American Bandstand.
It preempted ABC’s late-night programming, which before the 1979 debut of Nightline, consisted of movies and reruns of prime-time series. With ownership changes and programming modifications, WVUE could not improve its standing in the ratings and essentially wouldn’t until it became a Fox affiliate.
