Was Channel 29 in Buffalo part of the 'Star TV' subscription service of this era? I think Star carried some NIT basketball that year, varying from their 'all movies' format.

Not sure the listings for WGR 2 and WKBW 7 are entirely correct. Two examples are shown above. Note Family Feud is on WGR at 9 a.m. and Joker's Wild is on both WGR and WKBW at 7:30 p.m. If Feud was in fact on WGR, was this the ABC daytime version loaned from WKBW or the syndicated version aired in the morning instead of at night?

Feud was indeed on WGR at 9am and on WKBW at 7:30. Joker's Wild aired on WGR at 7:30.
