I can't provide an exaustive list, but a few I remember froms tations I could pick up..The Price is Right with Dennis James (I seem to remember WHIO-TV running it at 7pm Sundays..I don't know what time "60 Minutes" was on then. They also ran Bob Barker's "Truth or Consequences" for a number of years at 7:30. We could also see a year-old version out of Ft. Wayne on WKJG-TV (this must have been a practice before satellite feeds..some markets getting older versions of syndicated shows). I remember "Match Game PM".<P ID="signature">______________

Before satellite feeds, syndicated shows were "bicycled" (tapes
sent from station to station--each would make a copy and send
the original to the next station on a list). And sometimes
the individual station would run a series beginning with episodes
from a few seasons back. So it was, in the fall of 1972, that
we began seeing What's My Line? on WBMG (now WIAT) Birmingham,
with Wally Bruner as host. In the summer of '73 we moved to
Tampa, where WFLA was airing Line with Bruner's successor,
Larry Blyden, as host. WFLA had been running Line for several
years, while it was new to WBMG.

A similar thing happened in 1977 involving To Tell The Truth.
Garry Moore had decided to leave the show, and Joe Garagiola
became the new host. In late spring or early summer the shows
with Garagiola began appearing in Philadelphia, while Moore was
hosting the shows airing in New York.

Same thing with talk shows. In Dallas, Merv Griffin's show
was broadcast a week after it was taped (same as New York and
Los Angeles); in Atlanta and Tampa, it aired two weeks after
taping.

The exceptions to all this were Hee Haw and Lawrence Welk, which
aired the same episode everywhere the same week.

BTW, 60 Minutes aired at 6 PM Sundays except in the fall, when
it was pre-empted for football. CBS did give it a couple of summer
prime-time slots in 1973 (Fridays at 8) and 1975 (Sundays at 9:30);
the 1975 summer run was so successful that when 60 Minutes returned
in December it was placed at 7 PM, where it's been ever since. <P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by bpatrick on 07/23/05 09:56 PM.</FONT></P>

Southwestern Ontario:

Wheel of Fortune - WDIV, WSEE, CFMT
Jeopardy - WDIV, CKCO, WSEE

At one time, about 15 years ago, Global aired Wheel of Fortune while CFMT aired Jeopardy. It was only for a few years that we had Wheel and Jeopardy on the same station, like in the States before reverting to the present system. Then, there's WWNY, where Jeopardy airs at 7 and Wheel at 7:30. That is clever enough to protect them from a simsub from CJOH!

The Price is Right is also syndicated in Canada. In Ontario it airs on CHFD, CHCH, CKWS, and CHEX. CHEX2 in Oshawa does not air it, unlike the other Corus stations CKWS and CHEX. In the early 90s it aired on CFPL, and for a few years it was on both CHCH and CKCO. "The New Price is Right" with Doug Davidson in 1994-95 aired on CFPL-TV in this part of Ontario. It was not a BBS program as CFTO et al didn't air it, only the independent subsystem in SW Ontario. I remember Family Feud being on CHCH for a few years in the early 90s...right now I believe CJMT airs it. WOIO also has Family Feud, but earlier in the day. I believe in Detroit that game airs on WKBD. Millionaire is on CFPL at 7 PM, while it airs on WSEE earlier, at 4 or 4:30. Over 10 years ago I remember seeing Scrabble and Pictionary on WICU.

Years after their original runs, game shows produced by CFCF showed up on stations in Ontario in syndication. Super Pay Cards aired on CHCH, and Chain Reaction aired on Global. CHCH and CKCO both aired Supermarket Sweep as well, and I remember Split Second on CFMT about 15 years ago.

Charlotte (what I can remember, starting from the late 80's):

Wheel of Fortune aired first on WBTV at 5:30, then 5, then jumped to WSOC at 7:30, before flipping over to WCNC at 7:30, where it has been ever since.

Jeopardy aired on WBTV at 5, then at 5:30, then 4:30. (after Wheel moved to WSOC). Then it went to WCNC at 7, it has been there ever since. At one time WCNC also aired it at 4. Ironically, if I recall correctly, both WBTV and WCNC happened to pair Jeopardy and the Ray Combs Family Feud together from 4-5. WBTV aired Feud at 4. For a while Jeopardy and Wheel were on different stations in Charlotte. WCNC eventually moved the Combs Feud to 7:30, I think, where it remained until WCNC picked up Wheel of Fortune.

You Bet Your Life, the short lived Bill Cosby fiasco, aired on WCNC at 7:30.

The short-lived New Price Is Right aired on WBTV on weekends.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire airs on WBTV at 4 and 4:30. It has recently swapped time slots with Montel, which was bumped up to 10, so it must be doing very well on WBTV. I also hear where WBTV plans to move it back to 7:30 (where it was originally) in fall of 06, but that's a while away, and things could change.

Love Connection usually (if not always) aired on WJZY. It may have also aired on WFVT/WWWB since both are owned by Capitol Broadcasting.

WFVT (now WWWB) aired Richard Dawson's second stint with Family Feud.

Louie Anderson's Family Feud aired on WAXN. What a joke of a host.

Richard Karn's Family Feud started on WAXN, but now can be seen on WJZY.

Pyramid aired on WBTV at 10 then jumped to WAXN.

Hollywood Squares was on WCCB sometime during the day.

The Match Game reincarnation was on WAXN, I think.

The revival of the Dating Game and the Newlywed Game aired on WJZY and maybe WFVT/WWWB.

On a side note, RIP Ray Combs, his version was my favorite.
