Over the years I've only found evidence of about five stations that aired the PYL reruns before it hit USA - the two Canadian stations mentioned, plus stations in Pittsburgh, Miami and Rochester, NY. Surely it must have been on more stations than that...
[/quote]IIRC, that's one more station than 100% got...not saying other stations didn't air it but its also entirely possible none did.

For Canadian fans, ASN (an ATV affiliate in Atlantic Canada) re-ran PYL around the same time. Don't know the dates exactly. Possibly other Canadian stations reran it too, but I only know of ASN.

They were also run on CFMT, Channel 47 in Toronto from June 1987 until sometime in 1989.

WBAL in Baltimore also aired PYL reruns in 1986-87. The reruns were only sold to markets where PYL wasn't seen first-run where it could be passed off as "new".

On the bright side, Mr. Gleason has updated his log of magazines, now going into the early-90s, and adding more from 1989. I haven't had a chance to browse through any other magazines, but I know there was a Name That Tune pilot from '89 whose pics made it into one of the issues.

On Page 108, There is an article on Dick Clark Productions and it says he was working on three game show pilots. Two for Buena Vista and One for Lorimar. I know that The Challengers was one for Buena Vista. Anyone care to mention the other two?

Also Slightly OT: Dick Clark and Bob Stewart were also working on a Courtroom Drama with Viacom called Trial by Jury

LMAD, perhaps? Trial by Jury made it to syndication with Raymond Burr for half-a-season.

Here's an article from Page 8 about this conflict with Peter and Bert in 3rd Degree.

In Page 10 of this issue:

Reg Grundy talks about getting Scrabble in syndication. Also, He mentions that he is working on a show for ABC Daytime. He is giving Keynotes another try, and renaming it: Celebrity Keynotes. Also, There is an article about upcoming games for 1990-91 Orion and NTT, Challengers, and Trump Card are mentioned. Monopoly was going to be tried for syndication by King World. As well as a show called Coast to Coast, a show called Wiseguys, and perhaps a syndicated version of Classic Concentration.

On Page 31 there is a long list of game shows on the docket for NATPE in 1990. One thing, I don't really understand is Match Game produced by Ralph Edwards and Stu Billett. Maybe, it was going to be a joint venture between Edward-Billett and Goodson.

On Page 160 it was expected that Richard Dawson was going to host Trump Card.

On Page 9 of this issue, there is a short blurb about ABC Daytime developing four game show projects one of which has Bert Convy as host. Of course, we all know it as Match Game 1990

In Page 10 of this issue, there is a short blurb about an ABC pilot that never came to Fruition called The Name Game. Which was hosted by Bob Eubanks. They said it could mark Paramount's first entry into the first run game show market. Well, Did Broadcasting forget about Wipeout, Make Me Laugh, Anything for Money? Also, in that same blurb they mention Fred Silverman reviving Dotto for NBC.
