Seinfeld to move in many areas...

I think TV Land maybe airing some b&w episodes of 'Jeannie' and 'Bewitched' and 'Andy Griffith' but shows that are all episodes b&w seem to be too niche now.
WGN doesn't seem to show black and white "Bewitched" episodes, though when the syndicated program "Screen Gems Network" showed black and white episodes of that show Samantha wasn't as pretty.

I hae seen black and white credits of "Jeannie" on WGN. One of these days I hope to have time to tape that show and watch it. I have seen some episodes--certianly the ones on "Screen Gems Network".

Somehow 'The Nanny' which wasn't even that special when it aired, or even during syndication initially, is doing real well on cable (with TV Land and Antenna),
Oh yes it was!
 
In The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, PA. market Seinfeld is moving from WOLF (Fox 56) to WNEP-2.
and will be scheduled at 12:30 PM And 9:30 PM.

Here's my question: Where has Seinfeld NOT moved to another station? In other words, which TV station has kept the show since syndicated repeats began?

In Hartford, Connecticut. FOX 61 has aired the show since it entered into syndication. It wasn't until this year that they moved it over to sister station "The CT" WCCT-TV 20 (along with talk shows - Steve, Jerry, and Maury).

KDOC (Anaheim/Los Angeles) is picking up Seinfeld, airing it at 7 and 7:30pm starting March 21st. It currently airs locally on KCOP, and has aired in the 10pm hour (Sunday-Friday) at least since 2003; prior to that, they split the double run at times between KCOP and KTTV.

According to the Sitcoms Online blog, Fox renewed the show here locally, so I'm guessing they'll continue the 10pm run on KCOP, or probably shift it to a single run at 11:30pm (to replace that night's repeat of TMZ--that show airs five times a day locally).

As far as I remember, Fox never split the airing of Seinfeld in LA between KTTV and KCOP. The latter has always aired the show from 10p-11p, as soon as it departed KTLA.
 
I believe WTOV9 (Steubenville, Ohio) has aired Seinfeld since syndication started, but will lose it on March 21st. They're putting up the brave front, 'Our research says that viewers want more news.' Hence, they will start their local news at 5:30, going up against WTRF's (Wheeling, WV) statewide news effort. This is yet another opportunity for Channel 9 to rip Channel 7 a new one, news-wise.

Correction: The 12:30 showing is on WNEP -16 rather than their sister station WNEP-2.

I'm pretty sure Seinfeld has been on WJW here since it entered the syndication market.

Seinfeld actually entered syndication in Cleveland on WUAB Channel 43 in 1995. It moved to WOIO Channel 19 in 1996 as part of a 7pm hour comedy block that included Mad About You. I remember the promos where viewers would say on camera "I'm Mad About Seinfeld, I'm Mad About You." I thought it was clever.

Fraiser would replace Mad in 1997 at 7:30pm. The Seinfeld/Fraiser combo would last almost four years before WOIO decided to air Access Hollywood at 7:30pm in early 2001 with Fraiser moving to WUAB around the same time. Fraiser would return to the 7:30pm in early 2002, and would stay there until September 2002, where WOIO moved to a Who Wants To Be A Millionaire/Will and Grace combo. Seinfeld and Fraiser moved to WUAB once again where they would air between 11pm and 1am. Seinfeld was a full hour at 11pm and Fraiser (I think) was on at 12a.

Seinfeld moved to WJW in 2004 where it aired at 7pm and 11pm to serve as a lead out for their newscasts. It was part of a comedy block that included Malcom In The Middle, which aired at 7:30pm until early 2005. Seinfeld remained at 7pm until Access Hollywood became part of a combo in the 7pm hour that included TMZ. Now, Seinfeld airs at 11pm and 12:30am, while WJW airs a 7pm newscast followed by Access Hollywood at 7:30pm. TMZ airs at 12am after The New Adventures of Old Christine.
 
Thank you for clearing up my misinformation, CleveFan. I was actually out of the Cleveland market for nearly the entire time "Seinfeld" was on WOIO/WUAB!
 
In Birmingham, "Seinfeld" has moved from WBRC-6 (Fox), where the reruns have been shown since it entered syndication, to WABM-68 (MNTV), effective today.
 
In looking at the schedules for Memphis and Jackson, TN it appears that Seinfeld is now only available on cable from TBS and the CW 100+ network. No local station is carrying it.
 
Seen on a NYC bus: an ad from WNYW/Fox 5 promoting "Seinfeld" with the line, "Putting the NY back in funny." They're airing a full hour weeknights at 11 PM. (I think it's replacing "The Office" at that time.)

Did Seinfeld first aired on KTLA Los Angeles in syndication during the first cycle? I remeber seeing promos during Fresh Prince and Family Matters during that time
 
Yes, KTLA had the initial first syndicated run then it went to KTTV/KCOP. Also, KCOP is still airing Seinfeld in their 10p-11p slot which are the exact same episodes aired 3 hours earlier on KDOC at 7p.

Didn't Seinfeld move to PIX 11 in NYC?
