Looking at the list, it appears that Body Language was 'banned in Boston!'

Cordially,
Tammy Warner--the 'Edie McClurg of the Big Board!'

That is odd.  One would think Boston would support a show starring a Kennedy.

Could you imagine if that other Kennedy was in office?

"Yes, I did have sex with that woman!  But she provoked me.  She threaten to call me a foe."

(7) The Price is Right

Tattletales at this time?  On the ABC affilate?  That's odd.  How did that happen?  I know a network show could go to an IND station but a network program on a rival network's affilate?  How is this possible?

Firestone distributed "Tattletales" off-network reruns in the same manner they had with "Card Sharks" and "Blockbusters."  It was off CBS by now and I'm presuming Channel 7 didn't carry it (since BL went uncleared), so it was probably first-run programming for Channel 5.

27 from Harrisburg did the same thing as well.....Aired TT in reruns at 10:30am in 1984, too.

DId any local stations ever air reruns of Cullen BB from the Firestone package, or was CBN the only station that aired it pre-GSN? BB would have been worth trying in first-run syndication at some point, perhaps in the wake of the Q&A games of Fall 1990, a couple of which aren't much liked around here

I'm sorry, there's no "F" in the puzzle.

When I lived in Annapolis, I received the network signals from the Baltimore and Washington DC network affiliates. This was during the mid 1970s. The ABC station in DC would air the 4pm CBS show the following weekday at 9:30am because the CBS channel aired Dinah at 4:00.

The NBC station in Atlantic City area, WMGM TV 40, would air an hour's worth of ABC daytime programming from c. 1983-1988, including all the ABC game shows of the era and some of the sitcom reruns.
