MG syndie also started on WCBS in '79. WOR actually aired the last year of syndie MG from 1981-1982 as well.

Interesting...it seems that games went through a drought between 1981 and '83. Honestly, it seems that recent years (up to about last fall) showed a better number of shows, just none in daytime (except for Price). Proof that the game show genre is not dead like everyone thinks. 2005 is just a down year, a 1982 if you will. :-)

In fact, it was later that season that more game shows were added. I do have two more editions of TV guide from that season, one from April 1983, one from August 1983, both of them NYC. Quite a few changes took place within that one season.

By any chance, was Ch. 9 airing reruns of Pitfall at 12:30 AM on a sporadic basis? I've got a NYM TVG from early in the 82-83 TV season that lists it.

It might have been before November, if they did.
