"Match Game": NBC (1962-69), CBS (1973-79), ABC (1990-91) (also
part of NBC's "Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour" in 1983-84)

And to get to primetime:

"JAG" started on NBC in 1985, lasted one season there, then moved to CBS.

"The Jeff Foxworthy Show": ABC (1995-96), NBC (1996-97)

"Ripley's Believe It Or Not": NBC (1949-50), ABC (1982-86)

"The Steve Allen Show/Comedy Hour" (I'm listing only his primetime variety shows):

CBS (1950-52), NBC (1956-60), ABC (1961), CBS (1967), NBC (1980-81)

I should add "Queen For A Day" (NBC, 1956-60, ABC, 1960-64), and it, too,
started on radio, on Mutual in 1945. Likewise, "Beat The Clock" (CBS, 1950-58,
ABC, 1958-61, syndication, 1969-74, CBS, 1979-80, PAX (ION), 1995(?)). This
one began on CBS Radio in 1949, although there's some confusion here: some
sources say the radio show was called "Time's A-Wastin'" and that Bud Collyer was
host; others say the radio show was always called "Beat The Clock" but with Bill
Cullen as host and with a completely different format: contestants answering
questions before time ran out (I've heard that particular version, but not "Time's
A-Wastin'").
