For San Francisco when the syndicated broadcasts of Donahue aired KTVU and KGO during the shows run.
In Chicago Donahue aired on WGN and WBBM during the shows run.
WMC NBC 5 in Memphis carried Donahue. It was one of the first steps along with Dinah Shore's talk show of eventually wiping out most of NBC's morning schedule of game shows and replacing them with syndicated talk shows through the '80s and early '90's.š”
I feel like in the last year or two of the show it may have moved bed to UHF (Channel 17?) but not 100% sure.
Here is a 1977 Donahue Episode recorded from KPHO-TV Phoenix.
KMBC-TV, Ch. 9, in Kansas City, MO, had Donahue in the 1990's.
WCCO Minneapolis aired Donahue in 1992.
It definitely left WPVI (hello Regis), but which station picked it up is a long faded blur.
It aired on WPVI at 9am from January 5, 1976 to September 2, 1994. WPVI replaced him and Sally with Jenny Jones and Ricki Lake. Regis didnāt arrive at WPVI until September 1997 after airing on WCAU since Labor Day 1988 debut.
Donahue and Sally then moved to KYW where he aired at 9a for the 1994-95 season. On September 11, 1995, when KYW became CBS O&O he was moved to 1:35am (being replaced at 9am with Maury). Finally on December 11, 1995, Donahue moved to 4:30am until May 10, 1996. After that he never aired in Philly again. His final episode aired on September 13, 1996 hence his final months of shows never were seen in the Philly area. Better yet his final season was only seen in the graveyard timeslots on KYW-TV.

WVUE-CHANNEL-8 4:00PM
WOI 5 (ABC) in Des Moines Iowa aired Donahue for most of its run and then WHO 13 (NBC) aired it the final year in 1995-96.
As far as Nashville goes, I'm thinking Donahue aired on WTVF-5 as a lead in to The Price Is Right. If not there, then WSMV-4 as a lead out of the then two hour Today Show.
