I think that means that different stations received a different weeks worth of episodes and then rotated them. That is in Chicago you would see a different episode than in say Nashville on the same day. I believe TTTT was taped on Tuesday, all five episodes in a row. They did 195 per year (39 weeks of 5 episodes per week). Since the show ran for 9 seasons that's a lot of episodes. What a shame they will probably never be seen again.
Ah, a rare time when one of the panelists mentioned the bicycling technique in syndicated television in those days, Bill mentioned them being on tape and basically that's how tv shows were syndicated at that time.
Here in Albany, New York we saw TTTT 3 weeks after the show aired in New York City!
