Independent Stations were wonderful. Surprised the Fox affiliate, as brief as that affiliation may have been, wasn't carrying Joan Rivers. It ran until October of '88. If that 'Late Show' listing was it, it was running on an hour delay. Odd for a show that represented the flagship network offering at that point.
 
It is interesting to see the Tonight Show bumped up to 11:05pm on KARE for Cheers at 10:35pm. I don't recall many stations delaying the Tonight Show.

I found out that Cheers won it time slot and KARE 11's late news was a driving force. That the reason how they got away with moving the Tonight Show 30 minutes delay.

I believe during this timeframe, in Birmingham, WVTM delayed the Tonight Show by 30 minutes to air syndicated shows after the 10pm late news (usually sitcoms, and I believe one of those was Cheers, when it entered off-net syndication in '87). In the mid-80s, the Milwaukee and Nashville NBC stations deferred the Carson Tonight Show to independents stations in their respective areas.

Meanwhile, as you see with WCCO, there were more and more CBS affiliates (many in major markets not named New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia) that avoided airing the network's post-news late-night programming, and we were still another year away from Pat Sajak's talk show debuting (as well as Arsenio Hall's new show, debuting in the same week as Sajak's).
 
Disambiguation: KMSP ran The Real Ghostbusters, and KITN ran Filmation's Ghostbusters.

It's been my understanding that NBC allowed the Carson tape-delay on KARE because the network couldn't get another Twin Cities station to run Carson at 10:30. I can't speak to the Birmingham situation mentioned in the later post, as I was not aware of WVTM still delaying Carson at that point in time. That being said, I think the number of NBC affiliates that were ever allowed to tape-delay Carson could probably be counted on one hand. I know of four: KARE/Minneapolis, WTMJ/Milwaukee, WVTM/Birmingham (in earlier years), and WTWO/Terre Haute. There might be a few more, but those are the ones I am aware of.

Joan Rivers was no longer hosting by that point. She had left in May, 1987.
