Answer to the first: Saturdays at 7:30pm on TV-3.
To the second: Channel 3 from 7:30-8pm {they ran
NBC Nightly News with John Chancellor and David Brinkley at 7pm until the 6:00 edition of
Action3News with Doug Adair and Mike Landess was shrunk by 30 minutes at which time the 7-7:30 slot was taken by
Liars' Club in 1977}.
--------
Not too long after that, Channel 3/WKYC aired the Nighttime Family Feud in the 7:30 spot once occupied by Liars Club. And, IIRC, they were airing Liars Club reruns in the early 80s, once a week on Fridays around 5PM?
They might have been doing a late afternoon checkerboard block of game shows then, but darned if I remember the other ones.

Celebrity Sweepstakes,
The Hollywood Squares and
Wild Kingdom. Channel 5 from 7:30-8pm.
To Tell The Truth ran at 7pm until 1977 when that half hour went to
The Cross-Wits and in late 1978
Tic Tac Dough took the 7pm spot. Among the 7:30pm checkerboard shows on TV-5 were
The $25,000 Pyramid,
The $100,000 Name That Tune and
The Ohio Lottery Show starring Don Webster and Barney Tremblay.

Add to that TV-5 checkerboard LMAD...And BTW, Barney was a lady!!! I also think HSq was also seen on 5 for a time.

Channel 8 from 7-8pm until 1977 when
Bowling For Dollars starring Dick Goddard made its debut at 7:00 followed by
The Joker's Wild at 7:30. Until that year, Television 8's (later TV-8 when the call letters changed from WJW to WJKW) checkboard offerings included
The New Treasure Hunt,
Match Game PM and
The $128,000 Question.

Wasn't Bowling for Dollars also on TV-8 in the late afternoon as well? I know when BFD was on Channel 5, Don Webster hosted it in the late afternoon. BTW, I wonder if Dick Goddard ever bowled in his life -- I can't see him doing it, maybe Don Webster though.
Include in the TV-8 checkerboard Break The Bank, The New Candid Camera Show, and The Muppet Show. The game show checkerboard at TV-8 was wiped out the next year by "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman". As far as MGPM, I believe TV-5 had aired all of the nighttime incarnations and was never seen on TV-8.
