The Home Show - Did Your ABC Station Carry it and Other Questions

Davros2006

Davros2006

Not sure if it's been asked before, but I'll put it out in the open:

Did your ABC station carry "The Home Show" at any time during its run (1988-94), and if so, how long did you have it, and did your station air it at the intended time, or moved it to another slot?

I went through an old TV Guide for the Maritimes dated April 24, 1993 (you may have seen the many entries I posted years ago here for the entire week) and it says WVII in Bangor carried it (as of press time) at 11:00 am ET for the full hour, while WXYZ in Detroit put it at 4:00 am ET, almost a full day behind (except for the Friday show, which aired early Monday morning), and a bit before the early morning news.
 
WSB (Atlanta) did not. The second half hour did clear on a 4-1/2 hour delay on then independent WVEU (now the CW's WUPA).
 
I'm not old enough to remember, but from most of the listings I've seen, WGTU aired it in pattern (including airing the full 90 minutes when the show was a 90 minute show)
 
I am pretty sure WSOC cleared it though not the full 90 minutes. It seems as though WLOS did not for part of its run.
 
WPVI in Philadelphia carried it at 5:30am when it was a half-hour show; when it became an hour, they aired only the last half hour from 11:30-noon ("Sally Jessy Raphael" aired from 10:30-11:30). Because of noon news, they did not carry the last half hour when it expanded to 90 minutes.

WNEP in Scranton carried it from 11am-noon, but also because of noon news, did not carry the last half hour after the expansion.

WHTM in Harrisburg carried the entire show from beginning to end, including the 90 minute version.
