Two more:

WVIT New Britain (Hartford): Aired the first season of Nighttime WoF before it moved to its current home of WTNH.
WNYT Albany: Aired Nighttime WoF from 1983-88 before it and Jeopardy moved to their current home of WTEN.

Viacom, the then-owner of both stations, was another early believer in Nighttime WoF as another of their stations, WHEC in Rochester (then-CBS) aired as it well.

I'm curious to see if, once the daytime series switched networks in 1989, the amount of stations carrying both shows went up significantly. Most of their O&Os were airing the nighttime series at the time anyway, weren't they?

WKYC in Cleveland, when it was an NBC O&O, did not air nighttime Wheel nor J!  WEWS already called shotgun on those shows.
To go back further, I believe that O&O WKYC aired both the nighttime High Rollers and Celebrity Sweepstakes.

I was referring to CBS O&O's.

WJHG in Panama City aired nighttime WOF and Daytime I believe.  I think also WALA in Mobile did too.  And didn't WMC in Memphis.  Also WXIA in Atlanta did too

WTHR in Indy did as well.
