Once NBC began pre-feeding the O&O's in 1990, WNBC became a mess. By May, House Party and the sitcom reruns swapped places. Then in September, the morning shows began airing a half hour early (LMaD at 9:30, Classic Concentration at 10:00, et Al.) Then in January 1991, the 10:00 hour went back to being in pattern with TTTT airing at 9:30 AM coming out of a relocated The Challengers.
KNBC was also a mess (from a December TV Guide I collected when my dad took a business trip to L.A. in 1990).  After a live talk show featuring Kelly Lange and Gail Parent at 9 PT, KNBC ran NBC's lineup in this order starting at 9:30 PT:  Marsha Warfield, CC, TTTT and LMaD (getting back to pattern when the soaps started).  FTR, KMIR in Palm Springs aired the non-soaps in their proper order starting at 9 PT.

And WRC in Washington was another of the O&Os that delayed reruns of CC in 1992 to the overnight hours (joining KNBC, as trainman mentioned above).  That lasted until mid-October.  (Although it's funny--I also have a San Diego TV Guide dated 10/10/92 that states KNBC ran CC overnights and Doctor Dean in the daytime, while the 10/12/92 Los Angeles Times has that reversed [CC in the morning, Dr. Edell overnight].)

Thought of another one while reading your post--for a time in 1985, WLS ran daytime FF at 3 to lead into J! at 3:30 (which remains to this day).  (Then after FF's cancellation, WLS continued to air FF reruns at 3 for over a year.)

Can't recall exactly where I read it, but I'm fairly certain that the WLS 3pm reruns eventually became that "Best of Family Feud" syndicated package that ran from 1985-1986.
