Yes, WOR had ET for two seasons (86-88)...they picked it up after longtime NY home WABC briefly displaced it in favor of Hollywood Squares w/John Davidson, which moved to WPIX its final season, thus enabling WABC to get ET back.
And sometime in 1990 or '91, the ABC O&Os (including WABC) started carrying Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!, allowing WCBS (and other CBS O&Os) to pick up ET.

I like the ending frame about the NJ tax revolt. I guess it didn't get very far...

Regrettably, no; 'tvnewsman' had put it up, but it disappeared when he did. I did see this sign-on, however, on another site.

The two American stations on Bell TV that air "ET" are both CBS affiliates...WBZ-TV in Boston and KIRO-TV in Seattle.

I noticed that on the sign-on of WPIX from announcer Bill Biery, his recording was different from that in 1983 which used to be on here.
