Interesting that when WCBS carried Wheel of Fortune, they carried the weekend run likely from Day 1. By this point, Jeopardy! moved from WNBC after its first season to WABC, and they were not airing the show on weekends. With both shows on WABC (Wheel moved in 1990), neither show would be aired on Saturdays in NYC until around 1999 when WABC finally acquired both shows' weekend runs. I don't know if WLNY carried the weekend runs when they had the shows through March 2012.

I don’t recall WBTV airing the weekend run of either when they had the rights to both in the 80s, through 1990.

Assuming they moved to WCNC after that, where they air now, the weekend runs do air on there.

There are a few markets today that carry one but not the other, but there are only two markets that carry neither: Lima, OH (WLIO; airs Inside Edition Weekend and Mom from 7-8) and Harrisonburg, VA (WHSV; infomercials from 7-8)
