10:00 Full House (local broadcast, since it was an ABC show)

I know NBC aired reruns of Full House in the summer of 1991 before they went into syndication in the fall. Also the NBC station here pre-empted Full House for syndicated programming and also aired Santa Barbara in the morning hour here instead of Full House.

I just deleted that parenthisized note after checking Wikipedia's daytime schedule from that time, and it was indeed part of NBC's schedule, despite the fact that it was an ABC show. How did that come to be, and do you know of any other instances of daytime network sitcom reruns from another network?

Think Full House was the only one as other daytime reruns that were shown were aired in primetime on the network.
