Although I just found (and I'm sure there were other places), KICU-36 in San Jose ran repeats of the syndie version @ 10:30am, concurrent to the run of MG-HS.

WCBS rerunning Match Game in 82-83 at 9am can't be right.TTD started airing at 9am around April 1982 through September 1984.

Just spot-checked the NY Daily News on January 3, 1983 - MG at 9, JW at 9:30. TTD aired at 11am on WOR.

Confirmed by New York magazine, p. 99. What genius at WOR thought TTD would be good counterprogramming to Wheel of Fortune and the first half hour of TPIR?

Digging a little deeper, you're off by a year. :) TTD moved to WCBS on April 18, 1983 and replaced the MG reruns.
