When did Wheel move to WPLG? I think I remember seeing J! and Wheel on that channel when I had Primestar and they still were legally allowed to carry out of market stations.

@johnissoevil I believe Wheel made its move to WPLG in 1988... :)

What kind of economy did we live in where a video game Pitfall) cost a little more then half the price of the system it was played on (Atari 2600) ? Man, I now know I am losing it!

@johnissoevil I know and I do wish I got Dish Network man



[johnissoevil]

@jwgreek8606 The only stations that are legally carried out of market these days are the Superstations on Dish Network, along with if you don't have a local affiliate of a given network, in which case you can get a waiver, unless you have cable, in which case, they'll possibly carry something from the next market.

[jwgreek8606]

@johnissoevil the fact that they can't carry out of market anymore, makes me hate politics more and more buddy.

@Metlhd313 The Ataris had astronomically dropped in price at this point from just 3 years prior.
