Man, there's a name I haven't heard in a while. I remember going to a taping in late 1995. Very small studio.
Wasn't Richard old show called 9 Broadcast Plaza?

That was what it was called--it was originally a hybrid newscast and talk show that was 2 hours from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. I assume it was also originally intended to be a public affairs-requirement filler, but after Bey became host (it seems like he wasn't an original host), it became less public affairs and more wackiness. Sooner or later, the news would have to be separated from the talk show, and it eventually was--and the Bey show went on to syndication under the Bey title.
ObGameShow: Ah yes, when WWOR was a superstation and ran "$100,000 Pyramid" and "$1M Chance of a Lifetime" when neither show was on in Chicago--a pleasure of my early cable-viewing days in 1987.
