3:00 Price is Right

Interesting schedule for a CBS owned station, airing Price is Right at 3:00 instead of 10:00 and then delaying the 9:00 hour to 10:00. I wonder if this schedule lasted long.

It lasted until 1986 or 1987, when Donahue moved to WFLD, and WBBM began airing the CBS daytime schedule in pattern.

'Square Pegs' and 'Archie Bunker's Place' had both been cancelled the month before and would disappear from prime time a few months later after the summer reruns.

WFLD, the flagship for Field Communications would see a lot of changes, along with the rest of the company's stations over the next few years. I'm surprised they picked up 'Lie Detector' here. This was the iteration hosted by F. Lee Bailey. I'm surprised because they didn't pick it up for WKBD in Detroit, another Field station, instead it aired on WXON. I know WKBD aired 'INN News' at least in 1981 and 1982, I don't know if carrying the syndicated version of 'CNN Headline News' was for all Field stations by this point.
