There didn\'t seem to be a lot of information. I did learn two things, though:
1) The series didn\'t seem to get higher than 6.2 in terms of ratings.
2) It was only carried by, like 32 stations. Seemed like Syndie $ale was THAT big of a bomb. Here\'s just some of them:
WLS-TV: Chicago
WXYZ-TV: Detroit
WPXI-TV: Pittsburgh
WTVJ-TV: Miami
KIRO-TV: Seattle
WABC-TV/WOR-TV: New York
WNCT-TV: Greenville
Columbus, OH
Tampa, FL
KXAS-TV: Dallas
If you know any of the others I overlooked, feel free to mention them.[/quote]
Although syndie $ale didn\'t air in Birmingham in January 1985, I do know that by July that WVTM-TV had replaced syndie Wheel with $ale. Birmingham did not air the NBC version.
