As one of the few people on this group who collect TV Guides, going through all of them would still not cover every market and year. But if you limit the list by decade and market-we could get a halfway decent start to it. So to help you out here are some random memories for a few shows:
Raleigh/Durham (NC State 1988-1992):
WPTF-28 ran Quiz Kids Challenge, Jackpot! and Finn's Jokers Wild
WRAL-5 had The Challengers, Wipeout and Sweehearts
WYED-17 (now WNCN) ran Talkabout
WGGT-48 Greensboro ran Reagan's Lingo
Prior to that, I grew up in the Tri-Cities TN market, and had to endure snowy pictures off antenna to see some of the syndie shows. Some details:
Tri-Cities TN:
WKPT-19 ran Face the Music, Dating Game, Matchmaker
WJHL-11 had $100K Name that Tune, Headline Chasers, syndicated Win Lose or Draw, Larry Anderson's TorC, '80s Newlywed Game, Liars Club
WCYB-5 was the Wheel/Jeopardy! outlet, also Family Feud, '70s Newlywed Game, Cross-Wits
WETO-39 (now WEMT) ran $100,000 Pyramid
Knoxville TN:
WBIR-10 ran Wink's High Rollers, Rafferty's Card Sharks and $1M Chance of a Lifetime.
WATE-6 Knoxville TN had Catch Phrase.
WTVK-26 was the nearest source to see all the noontime NBC offerings, like Chain Reaction and Go!
Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville:
WYFF-4 had Wayne's Tic Tac Dough and, IIRC, Bullseye.
WSPA-7 ran The Guinness Game and I've Got A Secret
And then WLOS-13 had their local origination Bowling For Dollars
Greensboro/Winston-Salem:
WGHP-8 had Garagiola's Strike It Rich
WFMY-2 ran Every Second Counts
Charlotte:
WPCQ-36 Charlotte NC ran Rayburn's Break the Bank and 3rd Degree IIRC
WSOC-9 was my nearest ABC to catch Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak
I'd weight the results based on the rarity of the show, when picking a "better" market.

Now that Barker has finally retired with his replacement chosen and most of us have given up all hope of ever seeing "Spin-Off" again, is this what we're reduced to?
Was it this clear when the Mayans' run was over?
