Baltimore-WBFF channel 45
Washington-WFTY channel 50 ( now WDCW )
Kansas City-KSMO channel 62
Denver-KTVD channel 20 ( only for a few months )
Norfolk-WTVZ channel 33 ( very brief )

I am pretty sure Mort was seen in both Pittsburgh and Indianapolis as I can remember seeing his show in those two markets back in 1988..just don't recall which station meanwhile my cousin SWEARS she had sen Mort on TV in Richmond though she could had meant DC's channel 50 though.
 
Miami: WDZL/39
Anchorage: KTBY/4
Cleveland: WUAB/43
Providence: WNAC-TV/64
Manchester, NH: WMUR/9
Columbus OH: WTTE/28
Milwaukee: WITI/6
Honolulu: KGMB-TV/9
Atlanta: WTLK/14
 
In Flint and the Tri-Cities, WSMH ch.66 carried Mort.

In Tampa Bay, don't know for certain -- I think WTVT ch.13 carried it, but I am not sure. I do know for certain that WTTA ch.38 carried the later two versions from Palm Springs and Chicago.
 
If Mort, Jr. had stayed doing local radio in Sacramento, Rush would still be doing sports promotion in Kansas City. Maybe in some alternate universe. ???
 
Rochester, NY-WUHF Ch. 31 (a Fox charter affiliate); aired at 11 PM.
 
Interesting thread, because I remember traveling to Florida in the mid 80's and watching the late "Loudmouth" thinking this must be some sort of east coast phenomenon, as I had never seen the show on the west coast. Indeed, the show started with mostly east coast affiliates, then spread. When it eventually came to Seattle, I realized this wasn't just regional, but for real. Unfortunately, (or perhaps fortunately, depending on your opinion) it died a pretty quick death soon after. I will give Morton bonus points for being original and compelling at times, and also as an on going parody on Letterman's NBC late night.
 
Raleigh/Durham, NC- I think it first aired on the former WKFT-TV 40 (now Univision affiliate WUVC). I know when Mort's show returned in the early '90s, it aired on the former WYED-TV 17 (now NBC affiliate WNCN)
