Let me preface this by saying that I apologize. The idea for this thread is purely coincidental and I was taken by surprise when I saw another $otC thread posted today. This is a completely isolated topic, but if i messed up. I’ll take this L.
With that said, good evening everyone. Hope all is well.
I’ve been fascinated with the syndicated version of $ale of the Century, especially with the seemingly weird broadcast history and TV Guide promos, depending on where you lived. From what I know, Chicago aired the (late) nighttime version after Nightline on WLS 7, with very minimal fanfare and (zero?) mention in TV Guide…at least here.
Looking for something completely different on Google, I stumbled upon a scan for an ad for the nighttime edition airing on NYC’s WOR 9 weeknights. It was put in an issue of the NY Daily News paper. I ask any of you who are familiar or have access to this information; did a similar ad appear in a TV Guide at around this same time period? (For the record, that scan was from the 2-4-85 edition).
I’m trying to gauge how much the markets that chose to air Sale from the jump promoted it in their respective TV Guides; just looking to add to my collection, so I appreciate the insight.
Thank you all, and take care.

I've seen an ad from a Detroit (?) TV Guide touting the January '85 premiere. There's also this one (https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/saleofthecentury/images/1/1a/Sotc850220.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20131217142446) from Toledo, Ohio from 2/16/85.
