Why am I so glad I live in an area that doesn't pay much attention to preemptions?

The only spot that I know for sure was preempted was the 4 PM CBS slot. I can only remember from 1986, but I know that Press Your Luck didn't air at 4- I'm pretty sure WCBS had it on at 12:30 (with LMAD on before it).

Not sure if that was the case when Tattletales or Body Language was airing in the slot.

(For some reason, in 1987 I think that ABC might have been airing something at 10 AM, which was where WABC paired Jeopardy! with another one season wonder, Split Second- continuing the trend they had with Lange's Name That Tune, Sale of the Century (once they got it from WWOR), and the Rafferty CS. Can anyone confirm that?)

You are lucky living in an O&O area - hardly any (if at all) pre-emptions.

CBS affils typically aired the noon show at either noon or 4pm - WCBS aired that show at noon, going back at least as far as "Love of Life" and then to "One Day at a Time", then "Up to The Minute", "Tattletales", "Body Language" and finally "Press Your Luck". The last CBS show that they aired at 4pm was MG79.

I will try to find a 1987 TVG and see what was listed on WABC from the 10-11am hour as well.

Okay...I figure Oprah started out the year in the slot, then when the fall came around they moved J! to it.

I appreciate that.
