Title: Syndicated $ale of the Century in Detroit
Post by: JonSea31 on December 19, 2015, 04:06:34 PM

Does anybody know what time the local ABC affiliate in Detroit, WXYZ, aired syndicated $ale of the Century?  And did that series air on WXYZ right to the end?

If the Detroit Free Press or Detroit Gazette from 1985 and 1986 existed on Google Newspaper Archives, I probably would have gotten my answer.  Since they don't exist on GNA, this is the reason why I decided to ask here.

7:30pm to start out.  It later moved to a post-Nightline slot.  As I recall it left the schedule at the end of the first season www.americanradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/85-OCR/BC-1985-03-04-OCR-Page-0042.pdf#search=%22wxyz sale of the century%22 (http://www.americanradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/85-OCR/BC-1985-03-04-OCR-Page-0042.pdf#search=%22wxyz sale of the century%22)

Actually one paper on google news archives that has Detroit station listings would be the Toledo Blade

Yep, and in doing a little checking, at least as far as 1986 is concerned, they have Sunday issues with the TV supplement, so Jon, knock yourself out!
