I notice all the CBS stations airing "My Three Sons" at the same time - I'm assuming it's network and not syndicated.
 
It was. They replaced the Beverly Hillbillies in December of '71 and continued until CBS got back into the game show business the following fall with "The Joker's Wild", "The Price is Right", and "Gambit".

WFMY Ch. 2 Greensboro (CBS)
10 AM What Every Woman Wants To Know
(consumer-affairs show hosted by Bess
Myerson; the Greensboro Daily News used
to list this simply as "Bess," implying she had
a big following in the Triad)

Miss Myerson was most likely known "in the Triad" for her years as a panelist on I've Got a Secret, which might explain the Greensboro Daily News' titling. But at the time of this show, she was New York City Consumer Affairs Commissioner, a post she held from 1969 to 1973. The program, I.I.N.M., originated from WABC-TV in New York, which aired the show there.
 
Since "IGAS" was always carried on WFMY in both
its network and syndicated (1972-73, with Steve Allen
as host) runs, I'm sure Bess Myerson was quite popular
in these parts. I was aware that she worked for the city
of New York by the time she started "What Every Woman
Wants To Know," though, and I also recall it didn't have a
very long run. In fact, within about three weeks Ch. 2 had
replaced it with Merv Griffin (9:30-10:30 AM), pre-empting
"Joker's Wild" until the summer of 1974.
 
WFMY 2 still runs Andy Griffith between the 5:00 and the 6:00 news, for at least the past 13 years. It's like a second religion. ;)
 
At one point in the '80s WFMY decided to give
Andy a rest and put "Newlywed Game" at 5:30.
Boy, you never heard so many angry people!
Within a matter of weeks, "Newlywed" was airing
at noon (this was before WFMY started a noon
newscast) and Andy was back at 5:30. He still
wins the timeslot, against news on WGHP and WXII.
