i know in my market Wheel and Jeopardy have been on the same station- WLOS in Asheville- since 1985 has anyone had a syndicated show stay on the same station for as long as Wheel and Jeoprday have been in my market?
-
ABC7 Chicago (WLS) has carried syndicated Wheel and Jeopardy for the entirety of those runs, and with the exception of Jeopardy running an hour earlier when Katie Couric had a talk show, they've been in the same time slots.
-
"Wheel" and "Jeopardy" have been on WVEC since day one, although "Wheel" aired at 7:30 its first season. It moved to 7 when "Jeopardy" came along.
-
"Wheel" has been on WPVI in Philadelphia, at 7:30, since its nighttime premiere. WHP in Harrisburg has carried "Wheel" and "Jeopardy" since 1984. They have been on at 7 and 7:30, respectively, since then, except for 1985-1986 when Kennedy PiR bumped J! out of its 7:30 spot.

Has any market kept the current Feud on the same station since 1999? I know here in Norfolk, WTVZ has aired it since spring of 2003.

Yep...WPMT ("Fox 43") in the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Lancaster-York market has had Feud since 1999...

• Academic Challenge a.k.a. It's Academic has been on the air in various incarnations since 1964 on WEWS-TV 5 in Cleveland. This show will have to go under the asterisk category as it is a seasonal show that has gone under multiple titles, had a few years in hiatus, but the show's concept is syndicated in various markets through Altman Prods.:
And although there have been photos of AC/IA posted on the form here before, here is a fresh batch of photos through the years of the show and studio. Noticeably absent are photos of the set when they had the "Press Your Luck" type board for selecting categories:

Pretty cool gallery! The early-70s set is giving me an ABC Password vibe. :-)
Meanwhile the early-2010s set looks like something from a trade show or press conference.

WABC has had Jeopardy since halfway through its first season. They've had Wheel since either 1989 or 1990. Wheel has, as far as I know, always aired at 7:30 here regardless of station.
WWOR, with the exception of the second half of Louie's last year and Karn's entire second year, has had the current Feud since its premiere. In fact, they've carried the show in three separate eras: the best of rerun package from the Dawson era, the second half of the 1988 syndie era, and today's show. (I might even argue that the current series could count in its entirety as the only other station to air it is WNYW and they're a duopoly)
-
IIRC, Current "Feud" in Chicago went from WPWR (1999-2001) to WCIU and then back to WPWR during the O'Hurley days. I'd file it under an asterisk in this case.

September 1990 was when it made the switch - WABC previously had ET and WCBS previously had Wheel, and they switched spots. Not counting its airings on TV-55, it has always been on at 7:30 in NYC.

• Academic Challenge a.k.a. It's Academic has been on the air in various incarnations since 1964 on WEWS-TV 5 in Cleveland.
And it aired briefly on WVIZ-25, Cleveland's PBS affiliate, instead of WEWS for a year or two in the late 90s/early 2000s.

Early 70s? They had those hexagons until the early-to-mid 80s. Very dated, but very memorable.

Those were just same week replays of the WEWS shows, minus the commercials, IIRC. There were a couple of years when the show did not air anywhere at all because they couldn't get sponsorships.
Looking at those photos, the earliest shows I remember was about 1975, when the question packets were displayed on the emcees podium.

Yep. And for awhile, they had what was called the Manhattan feed where if you lived outside of Nassau or Suffolk county, you weren't able to see the two shows on TV55 at all. Don't remember when that stopped.

According to the Tribune, Wheel started on 1/9/84; apparently WLS held out with a 6pm hour o' news until then.

J! Has been on WFTV since it's premiere. WOF has been on WFTV since 1985. However, it spent it's first two seasons on WKMG TV.

Jeopardy! being on WABC as far as NYC goes. 4pm from 1984 to 1986, 7pm from 86 to present.

It was actually on WNBC for the first half of the 1984-85 season in late-late-night (1:35 or 2:05am, I believe) until it moved to WABC and the 4pm timeslot.

Only question is when the move was made, in December 84 or January 85.
There's no other network O&O stations airing either show, right? They've been exclusive to ABC's O&Os for some time?
-
I remember seeing Jeopardy for the first time as a child when we are on vacation in Miami. This was Christmas week of 1984. Then after coming home to NJ it moved to WABC. Looking at a calendar, that would put the move at 1/7/1985.
-

First counter-example I found: WoF and J! air on KNSD in San Diego, which is an NBC O&O.

Indeed it is.

Three CBS O&O's (KTVT Dallas, WBZ Boston, WCCO Minneapolis) air WoF with the latter two airing J!. KTVT sister KTXA airs J! in the DFW market.

The move was one week prior, a byproduct of Edge of Night being canceled and ABC giving the 4:00 half hour back to the affiliates.

I forget exactly when the show moved to 7 during that season. Lange Name That Tune had been on sometime in the morning (I believe 11am) before moving to 4:30pm to be paired with Jeopardy.

Karn's version was on WNYW from 2003 to 2006, it did move back to WWOR the week before O'Hurley took over. Otherwise, everything else is correct

Lange NTT was on at 10:30, between The Morning Show and Trivia Trap.

Same with KCAL 9 in Los Angeles.
In New Orleans, Wheel and Jeopardy were mainstays on WWL for years; both were moved to WVUE in the mid-2000's. 85 miles to the east in Gulfport-Biloxi, Miss., WLOX has had them from the very beginning (I think).
-
$100,000 Fortune Hunt was always on WGN except in 1993 when it was on WBBM.
-
I wouldn't really count that. Weren't all the Illinois Lottery shows mostly on WGN? Besides, Fortune Hunt only ran a few years...plenty of shows fall in that category.

Wow, that must be a rarity, for J! and WOF to be split over two stations these days. Guess it makes some sense since it's the same ownership.
-

I know of at least 4 others (including my own) where such is the case, so it may not be as rare as you think.

So that makes 5 out of how many stations carrying the shows across the country?
Doesn't make his statement outright false. Now, if someone had a complete affiliate list for both shows...

Probably a good thing Tony said "may," then...
