Cash Cab on local stations?

Like many shows in syndication, it is indeed older reruns with Cash Cab. As for WCTX-TV (MY) channel 59, did their sister station, WTNH-TV (ABC) channel 8, make any changes? I watched this show for a short time about 1 1/2 years ago during its original Discovery Channel run, but not since then (in part because I no longer receive the station with my limited basic cable).
 
I watched it a lot when it first came on, but after you've seen about 25 shows, you've
basically seen it all. Now, maybe once or twice a month.

Well, it's gotta be better than watching that other cab show where people hop into a cab and confess their whole life's story (or something like that...)
I loved the simpson's spoof on that one! lol
 
That other show would be HBO's Taxicab Confessions. Anyways, I know the host of Cash Cab (Ben Bailey?) has done stand-up comedy and can get quite dirty from what I've seen. ;)
 
I'm guessing this past Monday, as that's when it started to air on WCTX-TV (MY) channel 59 of New Haven, CT.

FWIW, the Wikipedia page about the show says you'd be correct.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash_Cab_(US_game_show)

"In the United States, Cash Cab episodes typically air on the Discovery Channel at 10:00am and 5:00pm to 7:00pm Eastern time on weekdays.[6] Beginning on January 10, 2011, the show began airing reruns in syndication."

If I can find anything official about it, I'll post it here...

EDIT TO ADD: Indeed, there's a few places that had posts on it, but this is from Multichannel News which is probably most reliable of all I found so far. Notice it was originally scheduled to start in syndication in Fall 2010 - this article is from WAY back in 2009.

Oh, and here in my area it's listed on their website to air on WKRC's CinCW subchannel 11, 11:30, 12 and 12:30 on Sunday nights/early Mondays. That would displace syndicated "American Dad" re-runs. However, it doesn't show up until the 23rd-24th of January. I'll back this up with the appropriate links below.

According to the digital TV Guide on the set-top box, KOMO 4 in Seattle will start Cash Cab reruns on Saturday afternoons and nights, at 4/4:30PM and 11:35/12:05 at night.

KCAL 9 LA airs it on 11:30 PM and 12:00 AM weekdays, replacing George Lopez (originally at 11:30) and Punk'd (originally at 12AM).
 
WNBC/4 in New York is airing "Cash Cab." However, it looks like they're parking it on Sunday nights/early Monday mornings, airing the entire strip in a 2 1/2-hour block.
