On WLS Chicago, "Wheel" at 6:28 p.m. since January 1984, "J!" at 3:30 p.m. since September 1984.

And boy did WLS pimp the heck out of it. I recall as a kid seeing ads in TV Guide regarding not just Jeopardy, but also a picture of the champion THAT WEEK. Fun times.

Sticking to that particular age, I remember the syndie version of Combs Feud airing against Wheel at 6:30 on WMAQ Channel 5, then moved to WGBO Channel 66 at 9:30 pm sometime after 1990, where it stayed until 1995; WGBO stuck with it even during Dawson's return year.

Now wait just a minute here. It seems to me that Syndie Feud had a longer run on WMAQ than two years. And even if it didn't, I'm almost certifiably dang sure that it didn't make its way over to "Super 66" out of Joliet for any period of time. I was, at that age, a fervent viewer of Benny Hill at 9.

And Dawson '94 Feud aired at 9pm on WPWR, Power 50. That much I know. I remember my disappointment at the 4-player setup and the chyroned board, and my parents' disappointment at Dawson's deterioration of skills.

Corrected I stand. How I blew that one is well beyond my reasoning.

You are right. Combs' Feud was on WPWR after WMAQ surrendered its holding of the show. It ran there for the duration of the run, right up until the Second Age of Dawson.

I don't think the WMAQ airings went only two years, as well...

The syndicated Combs Feud was on WMAQ its first two years and for its second year it was bumped to overnights with Hard Copy aring at 6:30 starting in fall 1989. Then WGBO aired it in 90-91 with WPWR picking it up in fall 1991 at 10:00 pm for a few years and airing the 94-95 Dawson return year.

If this thread's heading over to Combs Syndie Feud Way....

The Harrisburg market had WHTM-27 airing "Feud" at 7:30pm weeknights from *paging Mitch Groff* until September 1994. The last season with Dawson, I believe, aired on WLYH-15 but I could be wrong *Mitch!!!*.

Scranton/WB didn't pick it up until fall 1991, when WYOU-22 aired it at 5pm (after Oprah)..Whether it aired until 1993 or 1994, I don't remember, but starting in Sept 1994, Davidson PiR aired at 5pm..

I started this with listing the current version of Feud in Phoenix, but I also attempted to list the previous versions as well. I'm hoping someone living in Phoenix can help me out:

Dawson Version:
KTVK, 6:30PM from start to end.

Combs Version (Some Times Unknown):
9/18/88-1989; 1990-1992: KTSP
1989-1990: KPNX, 6:30PM
1992-1993: KPHO: 3AM
1993-1995: KUTP: 1-2 PM, later 5AM

And Here's Wheel:
9/19/83-1/6/95: KTSP/KSAZ, 6:30PM
1/9/95-9/03: KTVK: 7:30PM
9/03-: KNXV, 6:30PM

Hope some one can fill in the Feud blanks.

I recalled Syndie Feud being on WPWR in the 90's until the end of Dawson's return. I wasn't aware of the first two years however

Adding to the Syndie Feud...
when Anderson took over in 1999 (correct me if I'm wrong: were re-runs of Match Game '98 or first-runs of TTTT paired with it?), it was on WPWR/My50 until 2001.

From 2001 until 2008, it aired on WCIU (and established a 2 hour game show block with Card Sharks and TTTT), then came back to My50.

Another game show set that moved around a few times in Chicago was Tic Tac Dough and Jokers Wild. Joker was on WFLD from 1978-81 and 1983-84 and WPWR then on 60 for part of early 1983 and 1984-85 and Tic Tac Dough went the same route although starting a year later, also the two shows were on weekday mornings on WGBO for like two months for the last season in early 1986.

The Buffalo stations moved them around a fair bit too...syndie reruns were seen on WIVB for a few weeks in summer '77, as were new ones that fall (actually beginning in late August). The second year was seen on WKBW, but didn't start until January '79 - but right from the first episode of the second season (Barry-Enright shows always did that). By fall '79, WGRZ had picked up the weekly Joker Joker Joker; so it hit all three of the major network affiliates within a two-year span. Tic Tac Dough was on the same station (WKBW) throughout it's run.

As far as I can remember, Joker's Wild aired on the same Rochester station (WHEC) for its whole run.

Considering who that's targeted to, I don't think the mods are gonna be too insulted.

(I think.)
