Syndicated shows that have aired on the same station for it's entire run

A few:
Wheel of Fortune has been on WLOS/13 for most of it's run- it and Jeopardy have been on 13 since 1985. Hee Haw was on WSPA/7 from 1971 to 1992. Were there any other shows that aired on the same station for most of/the entrie run?
 
As far as I know, I believe Wheel Of Fortune and Jeopardy! have been on WTNH-TV (ABC) channel 8 of New Haven the entire time.
 
As far as I know, Dr. Phil has been on WPBN (NBC) for its entire run (starting at 3pm then moving to 4pm after Oprah went off). Most other long-running syndicated shows have bounced between stations up here at least once.
For example, Live (which is now on WWTV (CBS)) was on WGTU (ABC) for years and actually started on WPBN. Oprah ended on WPBN, but started on WGTU. Wheel and Jeopardy have been on WPBN for about 20 years, but were on WGTU prior to that. Judge Judy has gone from then-WGKI (FOX) to WWTV to WGTU.
 
Dr. Phil has also been on KRON 4 San Francisco for its entire run. In fact, IIRC, it was really the only popular program the station had when it lost its NBC affiliation in 2002. The station lost owner Young Broadcasting many millions, and was allegedly the reason for the company's bankruptcy, the sale of KRON to Nexstar, and the sale of their studios (on valuable real-estate). They now broadcast out of KGO-TV's (ABC) studios.
 
WYFF/4 had Oprah for her entire run too.

Dr. Phil has been on WLOS/13 for a while- before that, he was on WSPA/7.

The People's Court was on WSPA for it's entire run too(1981-93.)
 
Oprah on KGO-TV and KABC-TV these ABC O&O's had Oprah from 1986-2011 its the entire run though.

Note Oprah was originally called AM Chicago for WLS-TV viewers.

Note AM Los Angeles and AM New York gets cited here for being the origins of Live with Kelly and Ryan

Same with the Bay Area - it's always been on "ABC7" - KGO-TV. But doesn't Live generally run on ABC owned or affiliated stations, unless the station opts out?
