It's been a long time since I posted a list of primary network station affiliates that cleared a daytime network show on that network's schedule, I figure with the posting of the local TV Schedules being out of the picture for the time being, I figure I post a selected amount of former daytime network TV shows that DID get cleared on that network's primary affiliates, and I'll start with "Super Password" a game show that aired at 12:00pm on NBC from 1984-89, of course it was subject to preemption by the primary NBC affiliates for local news at noon, but here below is a list of all those primary NBC stations at the time DID get to carry the show.

WMC in Memphis never carried Super Password on a regular basis because of their pre-empting most of NBC's game shows throughout the 80's for syndicated talk shows. Wheel of Fortune was the only game show they carried on a regular basis and they might fill out the hour with another game show, which might have been Super Password at times, but not on a regular basis.
 
Complete trashy post to be honest and not even accurate in the slightest. For example I know KCNC never cleared it until they became an NBC O&O.
 
I have a request. Do a local listings for 1993 CBS film, "Man Don't Tell" and FOX airing of Family Guy episode "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" please.
 
WFLA in Tampa did clear it but never at Noon as they had a Noon newscast going back to the mid-70s. Super Password was normally at 9:30am and then for its final 7 months at 11:30am on 1 day tape delay so the Tampa Bay area never saw the finale.
 
WCSH in Portland, ME, did not clear Super Password. For the most part, they didn't clear the NBC offering at 10 AM in favor of a syndicated game show instead. They always had a local newscast at noon followed by Phil Donahue at 12:30 PM. This bumped Days of Our Lives to 9 AM and Search for Tomorrow (later Scrabble) to 1:30 PM.
 
Came Across Another:

WSAV 3 Savannah, GA

Your original list was very inaccurate to begin with are we certain these station’s actually cleared them as well?

I’ll at least vouch for the NBC affiliate WSAV in Savannah; I grew up and spent almost 30 years there, and I have fond memories of watching “Super Password” with my mom at a very young age (I was born in 1981), alongside “Classic Concentration” and then the afternoon-long weekday game show lineup that used to air on USA Network.
