ABC7 Chicago (WLS) has carried syndicated Wheel and Jeopardy for the entirety of those runs, and with the exception of Jeopardy running an hour earlier when Katie Couric had a talk show, they've been in the same time slots.

According to the Tribune, Wheel started on 1/9/84; apparently WLS held out with a 6pm hour o' news until then.

J! Has been on WFTV since it's premiere.  WOF has been on WFTV since 1985.  However, it spent it's first two seasons on WKMG TV.

Jeopardy! being on WABC as far as NYC goes.  4pm from 1984 to 1986, 7pm from 86 to present.

It was actually on WNBC for the first half of the 1984-85 season in late-late-night (1:35 or 2:05am, I believe) until it moved to WABC and the 4pm timeslot.

Only question is when the move was made, in December 84 or January 85.

There's no other network O&O stations airing either show, right? They've been exclusive to ABC's O&Os for some time?

I remember seeing Jeopardy for the first time as a child when we are on vacation in Miami. This was Christmas week of 1984. Then after coming home to NJ it moved to WABC. Looking at a calendar, that would put the move at 1/7/1985.

First counter-example I found: WoF and J! air on KNSD in San Diego, which is an NBC O&O.

Indeed it is.

Three CBS O&O's (KTVT Dallas, WBZ Boston, WCCO Minneapolis) air WoF with the latter two airing J!. KTVT sister KTXA airs J! in the DFW market.

The move was one week prior, a byproduct of Edge of Night being canceled and ABC giving the 4:00 half hour back to the affiliates.

I forget exactly when the show moved to 7 during that season.  Lange Name That Tune had been on sometime in the morning (I believe 11am) before moving to 4:30pm to be paired with Jeopardy.

WWOR, with the exception of the second half of Louie's last year and Karn's entire second year, has had the current Feud since its premiere. In fact, they've carried the show in three separate eras: the best of rerun package from the Dawson era, the second half of the 1988 syndie era, and today's show. (I might even argue that the current series could count in its entirety as the only other station to air it is WNYW and they're a duopoly)

Karn's version was on WNYW from 2003 to 2006, it did move back to WWOR the week before O'Hurley took over.  Otherwise, everything else is correct

Lange NTT was on at 10:30, between The Morning Show and Trivia Trap.

Has any market kept the current Feud on the same station since 1999? I know here in Norfolk, WTVZ has aired it since spring of 2003.

Yep...WPMT ("Fox 43") in the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Lancaster-York market has had Feud since 1999...
Same with KCAL 9 in Los Angeles.

In New Orleans, Wheel and Jeopardy were mainstays on WWL for years; both were moved to WVUE in the mid-2000's. 85 miles to the east in Gulfport-Biloxi, Miss., WLOX has had them from the very beginning (I think).

$100,000 Fortune Hunt was always on WGN except in 1993 when it was on WBBM.

I wouldn't really count that. Weren't all the Illinois Lottery shows mostly on WGN? Besides, Fortune Hunt only ran a few years...plenty of shows fall in that category.
