...instead, it aired on ABC affiliate WTSP.
(There was a 3-way ABC/CBS/Fox affiliation switch in December 1994, but \"CBS This Morning,\" \"Good Morning America,\" and TPIR all made an early move to their new homes.) [/quote]
Back in Dallas in 1994, KDFW-4 (then CBS/now FOX) dropped TPIR for Donahue (along with Bold & Beautiful with an hour long local news). Both those CBS daytime shows were moved to KTVT-11 (then Independent/now CBS). When KDFW became Fox, KTVT became CBS & got the remaining CBS shows.
Rod even mentioned the show switching stations when Bob asked him how's Fort Worth. [/quote]
And in Chicago, from late 1981 through sometime in August 1986, WBBM-2 aired TPIR at 3PM CT (after GUIDING LIGHT). I'm also reasonably sure (but not totally positive) that it was being aired on a one-day delay (in spite of it being aired LATER than its original time slot). WBBM also aired CBS' 9AM CT offerings one hour later, also on a one-day delay (they also aired CBS' 12N ET/4PM ET shows at 11AM CT on that same one-day delay). This was all tied in to DONAHUE moving over from WGN. When WBBM lost DONAHUE to WMAQ-5, PYRAMID, CS86 and TPIR were restored to their regular time slots and were off delay, but PYL stayed at 11AM and stayed on delay.
As an aside and completely unrelated, the whole hour of FAMILY FEUD CHALLENGE never aired in Chicago (Chicago only cleared the second half--airing it after TPIR).
