Title: Nighttime Price is Right
Post by: cmjb13 on February 10, 2004, 06:40:56 AM
As silly as this may sound, did this ever run in some markets in the daytime?

That's a very broad question, which one do you mean? And when you say "daytime", up until what time?

I believe (and Zach will correct me if I'm wrong), Kennedy's Price is Right aired @ 4:30pm on KYW-3.....Davidson's Price is Right would air in the daytime on either Saturday or Sunday on WTXF-29...

As for Dennis James/Bob Barker version of the '70s, I'm not really sure...

Most syndicated game shows on Channel 9 are 4pm shows in New York. Do I properly take your meaning?

I was referring to the Kennedy version.

And daytime I guess means up until noon.

In Philly, Kennedy TPIR aired first at 7PM on KYW, then moved to 4:30PM in January 1986. Two episodes of Davidson TPIR did indeed air Sat on WTXF Fox 29 from 3-4PM IIRC, but was preempted for sports programming often. A few weeks of shows aired at Noon on WTXF in January 1995. Davidson TPIR also aired on WMGM Atlantic City weeknights at 7PM. The 70s syndicated TPIR aired one night a week at 7:30PM on WPVI(Wednesday nights IIRC)

Pittsburgh saw Kennedy TPIR on WPXI at 7:30PM early on, then moved to 4:30PM in early 1986 in the wake of the locally-produced Jackpot Bingo bowing at 7:30PM(this bumped reruns of 1979-82 syndie MG, which WPXI had aired for over a year). WPXI I believe aired Davidson TPIR in late night, but I'm not 100% sure

Kennedy TPIR aired at 2:30 AM in New York on WNBC.

I'm pretty sure there was a stipulation that prevented the Kennedy TPIR from running in "daytime" before 4pm to protect the CBS version.  Though it does not fit your parameters, I will note that I do remember the Flint station for the James TPIR running it on Saturday afternoons for a time (in a block with NTT) just before "Wide World of Sports" or whatever ABC sports coverage was airing.  In addition, according to my vintage TV Guides, KDOC in Orange County, CA showed TPIR in a package of Viacom games in a two hour block in the mid afternoon around 82-83.  The others on that schedule were Blyden WML, Cullen $25KP and $128KQ.

In fact, it should be noted that WIIC/WPXI aired all three syndie versions of TPIR during the 1970s, '80s, and '90s. Seems that the NBC Pittsburgh outlet must have owned a piece of the series.

It was also relegated to double-runs on weekends in Providence, RI, where WLNE (Ch. 6) aired it Sat/Sun and Sun/Mon at 12:30 AM...a similar arrangement also took place in nearby Boston on WBZ (Ch. 4).

Millionaire has similar protections.  There was one station running it in prime time (an independant somewhere) that had a clause if ABC chose to run it in Prime time they had to run it at some other time slot.

Cullen $25K -- wow.  That's two stations we know of that aired the "syndicated reruns".  (The other was channel 55 in Long Island).  Anyone know of any others that ran it?

 I wonder if this CA station is the source for the $128K Question episodes on the trading circuit, or even possibly some or all of the 70s nighttime TPIR episodes.

No, the TPiRs are all SMs, and the $128K Questions were recorded from their OB on Philadelphia's KYW (Ch. 3) by none other than Don Benn himself.

 Good for Don for taping something from 1977 or 1978 and saving it for all these years. Some with access to an early VCR or even a tape recordere wish we'd done this back then.

Some people wish they could travel back in time to prevent an assassination.  I just want to watch Bob Gibson pitch and then record old game shows.  Wait a minute, maybe if I can figure something out à la the movie Frequency ...

I'd just like to go back and be more careful with my early videotapes.  My family first got a VCR on Christmas 1982, and I had many game shows from the early-mid 80s on tape at one point - but I erased over most of them with the next day's show (tapes were expensive back then!)  If only I'd known then what I know now...

Indeed...they originally aired in Nov. 1977, to be exact.

He was also supposed to get copies of his 3-day stint on Mindreaders a year-and-1/2 later, but due to a time mix-up, wound up w/3 eps of some soap instead. :-(
