 King World looked for a way out of its unfavorable situation with WNBC, but there was not much to be done.The two other major network affiliates in New York, WABC and WCBS, both had the same issue as WNBC in that both stations cleared their network's schedule completely and had other programming including other long-running syndicated game shows and reruns filing the holes in their schedules, as did independents WNEW-TV, WOR-TV and WPIX, which also carried cartoons in addition to reruns.While this was going on, a long-running network TV series enabled King World to find its way out of its New York schedule problem.
