and you know that WYMT ch. 57 in Hazard, KY is a semi-satellite of WKYT ch. 27 in Lexington, KY
 
There are some interesting aspects to the WKYT/WYMT relationship. For instance, WKYT does an hour-long newscast at noon; WYMT picks up the first half-hour of the Lexington newscast, then airs "Young And The Restless" and "Bold And The Beautiful" in pattern at 12:30 and 1:30 respectively; WKYT carries "Y&R" at 1 and delays "B&B" to the following morning at 10:30. WYMT does its own 4, 6, and 11 PM newscasts but carries WKYT's 5 PM news. And WKYT carries "Wheel Of Fortune" and "Jeopardy!" from 7 to 8; WYMT does not. There's yet another Gray-owned CBS station not too far away, WVLT in Knoxville, but I'm not aware of any other connection to WKYT/WYMT.

We have a similar relationship between WRAL and its sister station in Wilmington, NC, WILM. WILM's schedule is independent of WRAL's, although both are CBS affiliates (example: "Y&R" is on WILM at 12:30 but at 4 PM on WRAL), but WILM carries WRAL's newscasts (except the 12:30 PM one). WILM, however, substitutes its own weather segments to more accurately reflect the forecast for New Hanover and Brunswick counties.

Not at the time; WKYT has been carrrying "Y&R" at 1 and "B&B" at 10:30 for only about two or three years. In 1999, WKYT was carrying Oprah at 4 and starting its newscast at 5. I do seem to recalll "Y&R" airing at 9 AM on WKYT in the '90s or early 2000s; the station did an hour of news at noon and then had reruns of "The Nanny" at 1.
