This isn't even the first time this has been an issue in recent years -- there were a couple "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" special events that aired on ABC prime-time while the syndicated series was airing on various channels in various markets.

One notable example is "Family Feud," which was airing in ABC daytime while the biggest local station group airing the syndicated run was the NBC owned-and-operated stations.) > On Feb 16, 2022, at 2:47 PM, danny burstein <dan...@panix.com> wrote: > > On Wed, 16 Feb 2022, Jim Ellwanger wrote: > >> The three semifinalists with the highest winning totals will appear in the >> finals.
