Some pre-emptions in 1997!
WTAE pre-empted Real Friends and The City, while WEWS moved Real Friends to late night. Also find it kind of odd that WFMJ and WTOV aired Oprah and WTRF aired Live! as those shows seemed to air mostly on ABC stations (WTRF and WTOV can be explained as its shared market didn't have an ABC affiliate)

And similarly, WEWS also aired Mike & Maty in late night during that show's run in favor of Live with Regis and Kathie Lee airing at 11AM. They even did that with The View in that show's early days before The Morning Exchange was cancelled in 1999, at which point, Regis and Kathie Lee moved to 9AM.

Cool, I've always wondered what syndicated programs Foxnet aired when they weren't airing Fox network programming. Looks like they replayed quite a few of their syndie shows throughout the day though, i.e. I see two airings of Real Stories of the Highway Patrol, Cops, Baywatch, Judge Judy and a couple others. I very vaguely remember Court TV: Inside America's Courts, which aired on WOIO in Cleveland. I've never heard of Strange Universe, so I don't think that show aired in Cleveland/Akron at all. Growing up, although we'd always had at least one TV in our house connected to cable, we'd have a couple others around the house connected to antennas, which would pick up not just the Cleveland/Akron stations but WFMJ and WKBN in Youngstown as well. If WYTV ever came through, it would often come in black-and-white with staticky audio.

Did many cable systems in the Youngstown area carry Foxnet prior to the launch of WYFX? I think some may have carried WOIO and later WJW in Cleveland or WPGH in Pittsburgh to fill that void. While there are quite a few old-school Youngstown TV recordings available on YouTube, Foxnet recordings are much harder to find.

And does anyone happen to know what syndie shows Foxnet aired on the weekends?

Lastly, my understanding is WYTV occasionally aired Fox programs, such as Cops and America's Most Wanted, in ABC's off-network hours in the '90s (mostly late night) before WYFX came along. I've heard they'd even aired Fox's Sunday NFL coverage on occasion on days when ABC wasn't airing any sports.
