WBZ didn't clear GONG, or are you not considering GONG to be a game show for purposes of this discussion?

WBZ didn't clear GONG, or are you not considering GONG to be a game show for purposes of this discussion?

And while we're on the subject, did Boston not clear Tattletales, Cullen Pyramid, and/or the short-lived 50 Grand Slam? Didn't see those on the sched, either.

Esoteric Eric coulda sworn that...
-Daytime TT was on 7 (then the CBS affil), though I recall it switching from 4 PM to 11 AM (delayed one day) at some point
-MGPM was on 4 (at least until they jettisoned the 7:30 checkerboard for Evening Magazine); remembering it on Wednesdays, later on Fridays
-only Squares and LMAD had more than one episode a week (in fact, ISTR 7's checkerboard (perhaps of a different year) to be Squares - LMAD - Squares - LMAD - Squares)
