A few years later WSB would switch to ABC, with NBC swapping out to WXIA. Certainly other stations preempted network programming for local/syndicated stuff as well.

@@gregsells8549 Yes. WRGB-TV & WSM-TV were 2 other NBC affiliates bad about preempting daytime shows.

And it only survived because it was preemted by Nixon's resignation

So do I! NBC daytime sucks big time!!!

Unfortunately, I was in school then. Nowadays, daytime TV consists of court shows, lifestyle shows, the trashy Maury Show ("You Are/You Are Not the Father!" "The Lie Detector Test Determined That's a Lie/You Are Telling the Truth."), and Dr. Phil and his guests airing their dirty laundry on national television. (Ditto for Maury.)

@@georgemaster9271 I agree with your statements.

I think NBC moved Jeopardy! into Three on a Match's time slot opposite As the World Turns, which helped kill off Jeopardy!.

That's not an identical promo. That is a lost promo.

And none of that " Who's my baby daddy" nonsense

Ew Blank check

Adam B. Smith was Pat sajak the host in 1875

Patrick Ramirez Nope, it was Chuck Woolery.

Unfortunately, in 1981, Chuck Woolery was involved in a salary dispute with Merv Griffin. He wanted to be paid $500,000. Merv Griffin offered him $400,000, and NBC threw in the rest. When Merv Griffin heard about it, he was upset. Both NBC and Merv Griffin rescinded the offer, and Chuck Woolery was fired. And unfortunately, both Chuck Woolery and Merv Griffin never spoke to each other again.

Vanna White was a senior in high school when Wheel of Fortune debuted in NBC.

Wheel of Fortune joined NBC’s daytime lineup on January 6, 1975-the Monday following the final NBC broadcast of Jeopardy! Those two shows have now been bundled in syndication for nearly 40 years.

One recently surfaced episode had her sitting at #2. (The clip shown here is quite unusual, with a man at #2 and a woman at #1.)

He did thru the 70s. I remember.

Yeah, he was so young at the time.

Decades later, Alex Trebek will be hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy! on local TV.

Go You one better. Peter Fonda AND Milton Berle right next to each other on "Celebrity Sweepstakes!"😂🤣😂😏🎤🏍🎭💸📺B.W.

That's the original animation NBC Peacock from 1957-62, which was known as the "Majestic Peacock", v/o'ed by Ben Grauer.

In 1962, the peacock we know made its debut into the show "Laramie," which is why it's referred to as the "Laramie Peacock." I remember NBC airing it as recently as 1975.

There may've been a separate promo for them, but it hasn't turned up yet . . .

"Love in the afternoon" would later be a slogan for ABC, which outdrew NBC and CBS among the young women prized by advertisers.

Most stations would have half an hour for local news at lunchtime. Leading in, NBC had a five-minute newscast with Floyd Kalber from Chicago, and later Edwin Newman from New York.

You never heard of "Lunch?" It was hosted by Arlene Francis, who would make various kinds of sandwiches on camera as she talked about varying subjects that seemed to interest her. The camera focused on the sandwich board while Francis talked. Then, when she had several sandwiches made, she would ask questions of a trivial nature of the studio audience, like a game show. (e.g. "Which motion picture won the Oscar for Best Picture of 1955?") Those who answered correctly would be given one of the sandwiches along with a gift from backstage.

Rob McLean I'm fairly certain he said Bill not Billy. According to my ears anyway. He's always been Bill Cullen.

@@der22672 He did say Bill.

From what I could tell, Fred Collins.

They did in the 1978-81 version.

The 1974-76 edition of High Rollers was trying to mimic its sister show Gambit (which aired over at CBS during this same time frame) where players were left to knowledge of the questions and fate of the dice to win or lose games/matches that’s why. Interestingly enough Elaine Stewart, the card dealer on High Rollers’ sister show Gambit was the dice roller on this version of High Rollers’ syndicated nighttime version from 1975-76.
