CBS affiliates who tape-delayed "The Price Is Right" to afternoons 1979-present

The recent Chicago retro schedule from Sept. 4, 1985 showing WBBM-2 tape-delaying "The Price is Right" to 3PM got me wondering. Did any other CBS stations tape-delay TPIR to afternoons after it was moved to its present 11/10 Central time slot in April 1979 (IIRC)? (with the presumptive thinking being that TPIR would appeal to the kids once they came home from school, while the talk shows could air in the morning instead).

...and they (now since re-christened as KCBS-TV), moved TPIR to 3pm during the '99-00 TV season to accomodate Dr. Joy Browne's new syndicated TV show, which aired at 10am locally. That, of course, put TPIR directly against Oprah (on KABC), Rosie O'Donnell (on KNBC), and cartoons (on KTLA/The WB and KTTV/Fox).
