Wheel Of Fortune and Jeopardy on non big 3 stations
chrispw1:
In looking at old schedules from the mid 80s Wheel Of Fortune and Jeopardy aired on then indy channel 13 in Los Angeles, which seems a bit rare for them to be airing on a non ABC, CBS, or NBC station, and also I found in the mid 90s they were airing o n channel 30 in Nashville. Anyone know of any other instances of them airing on a non big three station?

In Cincinnati and Kansas City, they air on the Fox affiliate. Though at this point, Fox is on par with the old Big 3.

Baltimore also airs them on a FOX affiliate. I believe Nashville does too.
PYLdude:
For years WLIG/WLNY in New York carried them together. They would initially air them an hour before WABC did; this led to a weird arrangement for awhile where there was a separate feed of the channel broadcast on some cable systems where their viewers saw some other programming at 6 and 6:30, usually a Matlock rerun. They eventually moved the shows to 5 PM, and they stayed there (save for a brief period where they aired at 9) until CBS bought the station and dropped them.
Boston aired them on WSBK for years; can’t think of too many former UPN stations that carried either one.

Nashville is J! on the MyNet pass-thru, Wheel on the ABC.
Syracuse, NY has both on Fox.
