Pre-90s sitcoms on network affiliates

I

It's become rare to see network affiliates air pre-90s sitcoms; for most stations, "Seinfeld" and "The Simpsons" is far as back as they go. What network affiliates (counting the CW, but no retro/subchannel nets) still air older shows?
 
WPIX runs a ton of old shows on Saturday afternoons/evenings. All in the Family runs in the afternoons, and they still air The Honeymooners to this day, four episodes actually on Sat night. Also Sanford & Son, Barney Miller and Good Times air on WPIX.
 
WCBI/4 (CBS) Columbus, MS is another example that airs Andy Griffith, weeknights at 6:30p.

M*A*S*H airs on a lot of stations.

Now, is it a drama, or is it a sitcom? I suppose there's a genuine debate on that.

It's only available on cable and Me TV (Unfortunately at a time when WBBJ in Jackson, TN doesn't carry it.) in my area. But on Charter's TV Guide it's listed as comedy/drama.

not anymore. As of yesterday Andy is off KSTC due to KSTP/KSTC making some programming changes

KSTP has a local show "Twin Cities Live" that is on from 3-4pm on KSTP. Yesterday they went to 90 minutes which pushed Millionaire to 2pm. That bumped Pickler and Ben to KSTC (Independent) at noon which replaced Andy :(

AZTV channel 7.1 Phoenix/Prescott AZ airs M*A*S*H on Saturdays, also Fox 10.1/10.2 will air M*A*S*H on Saturday and/or Sunday when Sports programming runs 30min short of scheduled time or if a weather delay occurs.
 
I'm not sure if they still do, but as recently as a couple years ago, WRAZ (FOX) Raleigh used to air The Cosby Show and Coach at random hours, as well as using them as filler content during baseball or NASCAR rain delays.
 
WREG CBS 3 in Memphis used to run reruns of MASH, Cheers, and Perry Mason during non sports times on weekends, but like I've posted before they have gone totally infomercial crazy during those times now. It's been like this since they were bought by Local TV, which later became a part of Tribune, and figure that Sinclair will be no better when they take over. :mad:
