I'm not going to say he's got his facts wrong, but I am curious, did the Kings actually have a hand in distributing TTD, because AFAIK, Colbert handled TTD from day one, and of course the other syndicated Barry-Enright games. I ask because I remember reading that King World distributed "SoapWorld" (a soap opera recap show) from c. 1982, and IIRC, someone related to either B-E and/or Colbert was also involved. [/quote]
Someone related to Colbert was involved... two someones named Michael and Roger King, to be exact. :-) Both worked for Colbert Television Sales prior to forming their own company.
