WWJ 62 - CBS

11:00 Late Show with David Letterman (was 62 airing it delayed from the day before?)

No. CBS provided the same day show to WGPR/WWJ 30 minutes earlier than the rest of the network.

I lived in Detroit at the time and remember seeing the show. When WGPR first switched to CBS, they heavily promoted Letterman at the earlier time. The newspaper even did stories about the "special arrangement" with CBS.

I don't know at what point they started airing Letterman at 11:35. It was probably in 2001 when they briefly tried an 11 PM newscast.
 
Kind of odd that the Blade had WWJ since it's the weakest of the Detroit stations (it's not carried in Bedford [Detroit DMA] while most other Detroit stations are (including both WMYD and WKBD))
