Stations delaying daytime soap operas

Forgot to mention in this thread earlier: WCSH-TV (NBC) channel 6 of Portland, ME aired Day Of Our Lives on weekday mornings at 10 AM. I would assume their sister station WLBZ-TV channel 2 of Bangor did the same thing. This was when I was living near Portland in the resort town of Old Orchard Beach from 1985 to 1987. I think they would later air it at 1 PM, like many east coast affiliates (who weren't owned and operated) did.
 
KNDO/23 Yakima and KNDU/25 Richland aired Days of Our Lives on a 2-hour delay from the network for MANY years, at 3:00pm. Then it got moved for a short time around 1998-99 to 2PM, and now it's in the regular 1:00pm west coast slot.
KOMO/4 Seattle didn't air 'The Edge of Night' for a while in the early '80s. Around 1983 they aired it at 11:30am, probably on a 1-day delay from the network. The 3PM slot was mainly used for syndicated reruns or (later) talk shows.
