Was 12N ET the designated feed time for the two CCs? It seems to me like NBC ran the daytime line-up in 1993-94 almost as though it were syndicated (I believe the two shows aired at 9AM and 9:30 local time in both Chicago and NYC--same deal with L.A., although IIRC the two shows were reversed). It wasn't like the late 80s where there was pretty much a set time for each show to air (although affiliates had the option, of course, of not carrying a program or shifting it to another time slot).

The affils could put it anywhere. Based on where the shows aired in Michigan, two stations had the duo at 11-noon and two stations had only "Concentration" at 12:30pm. NBC's daytime sked went kaflooey in 1991. The Concentration reruns replaced "Cover to Cover" which was on at 11:30 eastern, as mentioned, NBC abandoned designated feed times about that time. Wesley Hyatt's book has Caesar at 12:30pm and Conc. at Noon, with the Rashad skein (Variety-speak utilized for, well, variety) moving to Noon in 94. But, Hyatt also has Scrabble/Scattergories as 12-1 occupants, when many stations ran it from 3-4. I'm guessing there were multiple feeds.
