Members Franko Posted November 26, 2021 Author Members Share Posted November 26, 2021 Boston, May 1987 WBZ, the NBC station, only aired the 11 a.m. hour, Wheel of Fortune and Scrabble, of the network's games. They also didn't air Another World, having a Days of Our Lives and Santa Barbara block from 2-4 p.m. (WJAR, the Providence station, aired all three soaps, plus the aforementioned games and Sale of the Century at 10. It was the lead-in to Cross-Wits.) WCVB, the ABC station, aired all five soaps, with the noon news bookended by Ryan's Hope and Loving. (WMUR in Manchester aired everything in pattern, including the 11 a.m. programming of Fame, Fortune and Romance -- a network version of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous -- and Webster reruns. WPRI in Providence aired everything, but moved Webster to 10:30 and also aired Ryan's Hope as the lead-in to news.) WNEV, the CBS station, aired all four soaps and The Price Is Right in pattern. However, they aired Pyramid (on a delay?) at 9:30 a.m. and didn't air Card Sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
