@zachhoran KYW was God awful when they were an NBC affiliate. By the time WCAU became an NBC affiliate in 1995, it was too late. All the NBC game shows were gone forever. At least KYW is a great CBS affiliate now with Lets Make A Deal and The Price Is Right back to back (10am-noon).

The late Jay Stewart was replaced by Don Morrow not long after the bonus game changes on "$OTC".

@kdawg2020 I preferred the original shopping format myself and the Winner's Board was okay. The Winner's Big Money game was good, but it made it pretty difficult just to win the car.

I've never understood why people hate the Winner's Big Money Game so much. It was the only bonus round that required any skill or knowledge and kept in line with the concept of anticipating the clues in the question.
IMO, the "matching board" (whatever it was called) was one of the laziest and most anti-climatic bonus games in the history of the genre.

And 25 to 20 seconds?

How long was it before the WBMG went from 5 to 4 correct answers?

Blockbusters and Vegas Gambit aired on WTAF 29 in 1981 between 11AM-Noon EST for a time. KYW never aired either one.
Looks like they aired WOF at another time of day than 11AM EST if they aired it at all on this NBC station, with game show lineup being $ale/Concen/Superpass/Windraw. It's also near the end of Jay Stewart's time announcing $otC. This was also the first week that NBC game shows didn't have end of show fee plugs until January 18, 1993(new Scrabble, Scattergories, and Caesar's Challenge had end of show fee plugs). Daytime WIndraw never had fee plugs at show's end from its NBC debut on 9/7/87.

@zachhoran at this point on WTHR's schedule, daytime WoF was pushed back to 4 pm.
