@stratonapba This year, two new shows hosted by Chris Tarrant arrived on ITV. The first was Everybody's Equal:
The other was PSI:
Both shows would be remade on ABC. Everybody's Equal would be remade for the network with Peter Marshall hosting, Johnny Gilbert announcing (who was also the announcer of Jeopardy!, Supermarket Sweep and Jackpot) and Bob Stewart producing (also the producer of Jackpot and the Pyramid franchise), while PSI would be remade as Crazy Comparisons, with Wink Martindale hosting, Kris Erik Stevens announcing (who was also the announcer of Big Break) and Vin di Bona producing (also the producer of America's Funniest Home Videos, America's Funniest People and Big Break).
But I want to start talking about video games very soon.

To @stratonapba , while the original UK version of Everybody's Equal, with Chris Tarrant gave away £1,000 for winnings, the US version, to be on ABC, with Peter Marshall would gave away $250,000 for winnings. I hope ABC would show Everybody's Equal as a Saturday 7:30PM show to O&Os and affiliates, where Wheel of Fortune continues to show up Mondays-Fridays at 7:30PM.

I’m new here. I live near Charlotte. Well apparently I had an account seven years ago and it was rejected at first for being an “artifact from 2015” but now it has been reactivated. Nice work. Intriguing that they had to started all over after the Black Sox scandal and included the Negro League.

I don’t agree on The Bold and the Beautiful going to Fox unless CBS kept Capitol. It’s too much like Y&R. That was why CBS put B&B at 1:30 instead of 2:30 IOTL. I think Fox would’ve picked up Keynotes. And I think the Young and the Restless wouldve still been at 12:30.

Also, if you’re going to merge DMA’s, at least merge markets that actually border each other like Charlotte and the Triad or Charlotte and Greenville/Spartanburg.

I like how you have Fox starting earlier. I like the different networks. It’s crazy that WCCB went right back to ABC after just a couple years in this timeline because of WSOC going Fox.

We'll nice job @stratonapba . But Storm the Castle, a remake of Takeshi's Castle would arrive on ABC in 1992. Also, Vin di Bona is remaking the BBC show Have I Got News for You for ABC in 1993.
 

stratonapba

@Nelroy78: Thank You Very Much, However on the Charlotte Merger, Remember @Duc4AlternateHistory he did with the Charlotte/Raleigh-Durham One, But Instead it will be Charlotte-Greensboro-High Point-Winston Salem so here it is.

2-WFMY (CBS)
4-WCNC (was WPTF) (NBC)
5-WBTV (ATN)
7-WGHP (ABC)
9-WSOC (FOX)
11-WXII (TriNet)
13-WUNC (PBS)

And For Raleigh-Durham It will be absorbed with Wilmington

3-WWAY (TriNet)
6-WRAL (CBS)
8-WITN (NBC)
10-WTVD (ABC)
12-WSFX (FOX)
15-WUNC (PBS)
28-WRDC (ATN)

Note: The Stations were affiliated as they were in 1989 ITTL.

@Duc4AlternateHistory: Totally a Great Idea, So Vin Di Bona is Ready to Rival Star Search in 1990 with a Show hosted by Natalie Cole (Big Break) and Making an American Version of a Japanese Show (Takeshi's Castle) in 1992 and a British Show (Have I Got News For You) in 1993

But for Now Let's Focus on the 1989 Miss Teen USA Pageant

The 1989 Miss Teen USA Pageant took place on July 25, 1989 from the Orange Pavillion in San Bernardino, CA however It's the First Year of the Miss Teen USA Pageant under Summer Bartholomew's TPA Banner.

FOX brought up Wil Shriner and Marcia Strassman (from Honey I Shrunk the Kids) to Host The Pageant with the Broadcast Booth anchored by Phil Stone and Miss Teen USA 1985 Kelly Hu

However the Broadcast Booth is Seperate, CTV will have to rely on Fergie Oliver, Karen Baldwin and Monika Schnarre (with Dave Duvall announcing)

And Rhythm Radio: Despite Eli Gold is busy doing NASCAR, Rhythm Radio Countdown host Tracy Scoggins took over the Job as the New Host with Miss USA 1970 Deborah Shelton and a young Michelle Tafoya (who did Minnesota Vikings Broadcasts as a Pre-Game Host on KQRS which is affiliated by Rhythm Radio)


The Opening Number saw all the girls which is made up 51 Young Women who are vying for the 1989 Miss Teen USA Crown along with a Troupe of 200+ Young Women (which including Some Former Miss Teen USA Contestants as well as Some Girls who will sing that song again in the 1990 Miss Teen Canada Pageant) and Miss Teen USA 1988 Mindy Duncan sang "Electric Youth" that was sung by Debbie Gibson.

The Judges for this years in which they chose the 10 Semi-Finalists who will later judge for live telecast include Dale Harimoto (Entertainment Reporter for USA Today on TV), Miguel Nunez, Steve Guback (Sports Columnist for the Washington Star), Jill Whelan (The Love Boat), Jane Pratt (Editor in Chief for Sassy), Richard Lawrence (Hollywood Agent), Frank Dicopoulos (Soap Star), Dr. Joy Brown and Erin Gray (Silver Spoons).

Then The Ten Semi-Finalists were announced and then they had interviews and for the First Time Ever the Swimsuit Competition had all 256 Girls performing in Swimsuit with Solos by Miss Teen USA 1987 (and Ole Miss Twirler) Kristi Lyn Addis in which she sang another Tiffany Song (compared to what she did in the Halftime Musical Number in last year's Miss Teen USA Pageant in which Mindy Duncan from Oregon won the crown) with a Remake of Radio Romance and Can't Stop a Heartbeat as they serenaded the 10 Semifinalists in Swimwear.

Then After the Prize Package was announced, The Halftime Musical Number which will be used as the New Theme Music for NASCAR on FOX's Playoff Coverage with all 256 Girls singing "Staying Together" which was sung by Debbie Gibson and performed on Vocals by 256 Girls with some solo parts were done by Miss West Virginia Teen USA 1989 Jennifer Jo Dunn (in which she spoke before the song as she wrote on a postcard and performed on vocals) along with Miss Idaho Teen USA 1989 Brandi Sherwood, Miss Red Deer Teen Canada 1989 Kimberly Schimke (Who sang a Part on a Musical Number about "Teen Life" in the 1989 Miss Teen Canada Pageant when it aired on CTV, FOX and Rhythm Radio) and Miss Teen USA 1988 Mindy Duncan.

And then the Evening Gown Competition is Next the 10 Semifinalists walk the runway as they were serenaded by all the Other Girls as they sang "Between The Lines" (which was sung by Debbie Gibson) with solo by Bridgette Wilson (who will represent Oregon in the 1990 Miss Teen USA Pageant) and "We Could Be Together" (which was sung by Debbie Gibson) with solos by Miss Utah Teen USA 1989 Tracy Kennick.

But The Final Five Were Announced and they were done by Miss Universe 1989 Angela Visser and they are Texas (Kristi Wright), Kentucky (Kristie Dawn Hicks), Vermont (Kara Quinn), Idaho (Brandi Sherwood) and North Dakota (Heidi Jo Langseth)

However the Judges Questions were used for this Contest however
Texas went for Patrick St. Claire (Will Shriner Made a Gag by getting a Chance to go for Curtain #2, Let's Make a Deal anyone?)
Kentucky went for Judge Joseph Wapner (from the People's Court) but it went for Richard Lawrence instead.
Vermont went for Judge Jill Whelan (from the Love Boat)
Idaho went for Judge William Rehnquist (the 16th Chief Justice of the United States) but instead it went for Frank Dicopoulos (from the Guiding Light)
And North Dakota went for Miguel Nunez

But In The End who won?

4th Runner Up - North Dakota (Heidi Jo Langseth)
3rd Runner Up - Texas (Kristi Wright)
2nd Runner Up - Vermont (Kara Quinn)

We'll great. To @stratonapba , just wonder if they combine the Beaumont, Lafayette, Alexandria and Lake Charles DMAs in 1958.
The Beaumont/Alexandria/Lake Charles/Lafayette combined DMA as of 1989:
3-KATC (ABC)
6-KFDM (FOX)
8-KPLC (NBC)
10-KLFY (CBS)
12-KBMT (ATN)
15-KADN (TriNet)
29-KLTL (PBS)

To our nice DMA combinations, Kansas City/St. Joseph should better off be merged with Topeka, and Pittsburg/Joplin would be its UHF island.
Kansas City/Topeka/St. Joseph:
2-KQTV (NBC)
4-WDAF (ABC)
5-KCTV (CBS)
7-KCWE (ATN)
9-KMBC (FOX)
11-KCPT (PBS)
13-KZKC (TriNet)
Pittsburg/Joplin
14-KFJX (FOX)
16-KSNF (NBC)
19-KOAM (CBS)
29-KFST (ATN)
41-KODE (ABC)
62-KSTT (TriNet)
And how would it feel if the Ottumwa/Kirksville, Quincy and Davenport combined its DMAs better.
3-KTVO (ABC)
6-KWQC (NBC)
8-WHBF (CBS)
10-WGEM (FOX)
12-WQAD (ATN)
15-KYOU (TriNet)
If Des Moines and Cedar Rapids combined its DMAs:
2-KGAN (CBS)
4-KCCI (FOX)
5-WOI (ABC)
7-KWWL (NBC)
9-KCRG (ATN)
11-KDIN (PBS)
13-WHO (TriNet)
And a better Chicago/Rockford DMA
2-WBBM (CBS)
4-WFLD (FOX)
5-WMAQ (NBC)
7-WLS (ABC)
9-WGN (TriNet)
11-WTTW (PBS)
13-WREX (ATN)
A better Sioux City/Omaha combined DMA:
3-KMTV (CBS)
6-WOWT (NBC)
8-KCAU (ABC)
10-KMEG (ATN)
12-KPTH (FOX)
15-KOAS (TriNet) (Callsign: Omaha and Sioux City)
Champaign/Springfield and Peoria would be UHF islands.
