Life After the Black Sox - A Collaborative TL (with a Twist that Is)

[stratonapba]

We'll @stratonapba, but The $100,000 Pyramid with Pat Bullard hosting, and Johnny Gilbert announcing, debuted at nighttime on ATN at 7:30 pm to replace low-rated Hold Everything!, because John Davidson TTL still does the Hollywood Squares on TriNet. Also Ruckus made its debut on TriNet to replace the discarded Trump Card at 7:30pm for the fall of 1991. The Maury Povich Show will debut on ATN to replace low-rated All About the Opposite Sex.

I Agree Except for Ruckus however it will air on NBC Daytime for the Fall of 1991.

NBC Daytime Scheme for September 1991
6:00 AM: NBC News at Sunrise
7:00 AM: The Today Show
9:00 AM: Local Programming
10:00 AM: Scrabble (Chuck Woolery)
10:30 AM: Let's Make a Deal (Bob Eubanks) (ITTL, Let's Make a Deal got a new host to replace Bob Hilton following his Dismissal)
11:00 AM: Ruckus (The Amazing Jonathan) (Merv Griffin Productions comes back to the Peacock after Wheel moved to ABC Daytime)
11:30 AM: Classic Concentration (Alex Trebek) (New Episodes still occurs ITTL, But They Aired Reruns IOTL)

However when we get to $ale of the Century's 10th Anniversary on NBC in September 1992, They Will Now Start Using a Re-Recording of the Theme Music performed by Australian Musician Tweed Harris in which it was used in the Australian Version hosted by Tony Barber (and later Glenn Ridge) on the Nine Network and the New Zealand Version hosted by Steve Parr on TV2 in 1989 before moving to ONE in 1990.

 

[DucNguyen0131]

I think let's discard Trump Card on TriNet to pick up People on TV, with Jimmy Cefalo continuing as host, a position that he began under contract when he hosted a short-lived Winning Streak revival, Tournament Board. A new version of What's My Line made its way to primetime for CBS, to be taped in Television City, with Louise DuArt (of Rodeo Drive as host), the week's first panelists were Janice Pennington, Rod Roddy, Bob Barker (of the Price is Right) and Arlene Francis, who had been with the show since 1950 and Gene Wood as announcer. A previous attempt was rejected by NBC in 1989 with Michael Burger as host, but NBC preferred to keep Scrabble instead.

 

[stratonapba]

@Duc4AlternateHistory: Yes, But TriNet will air Trump Card but is Cancelled after One Season, So People on TV will debut in September of 1991 but Jimmy Cefalo will Host Trump Card then after it gets cancelled People on TV.

And Now Let's Recap the 1991 Miss America Pageant

The 1991 Miss America Pageant is Broadcast on September 8th on the Network which broadcasted the First Miss America Telecast which ABC in which the pageant celebrates it's 70th Anniversary and is simulcasted on the ABC Watermark Radio Network.

Gary Collins hosted the pageant along with Phyllis George, Kathie Lee Gifford with Musical Entertainment by Clint Holmes who doubles his job as the Announcer for this live Telecast with Special Guests the by the first Miss America on ABC (and all of TV) Lee Meriwether as well as Bert Parks for the first 3 hour telecast in Miss America History.

The Introduction begins with Narration by Ed Herlihy as they look back at the History of this Pageant which will lead to the Opening Number as Clint sang "Something Special, Is Going to Happen Tonight" before all 56 Delegates introduce themselves as they compete for the Crown of Miss America 1991.

But That's Not All: The Opening Number had It's First Ever Troupe of Miss America Contestants who are all girls including The Newly Crowned by Miss National Sweetheart Caroline Suzanne Sapp who performed alongside the Miss America Dancers (who are made of Men and Woman)

However the Pageant saw the triumphant return of Bert Parks introducing 29 Former Miss Americas and sang There She Is Miss America and then introduced Miss America 1990, Debbye Turner.

Then following the Commercial Break, For The First Time Ever The Judges escort the Delegates, Why?

All of Our 56 Delegates are standing to wait as they whittled down to 10 however prior to the Miss America 1991 Telecast each judge will be escorted by a Contestant who is competing for the Miss America Crown using a piece of paper and drawed which contestant who will escort as they were introduced, and here's what they chose in order of being introduced by Gary Collins.....

- Nell Carter (Gimme a Break): escorted by Holly Ann Salo (Alaska)
- Jane Jayroe (Miss America 1967): escorted by Sherry Traylor (Missouri)
- Cynthia Sikes (Miss Kansas 1972 & St. Elsewhere): escorted by Beth Howell (Mississippi)
- Tristan Rogers (General Hospital): escorted by Maria Lee Ostapiej (California)
- Jeanne Swanner Robertson (Miss North Carolina 1963): escorted by Victoria Fair (Michigan)
- Larry King (Host of Larry King Live on CNN as well as his own Radio Show on the Mutual Broadcasting System): escorted by Jennifer Nakken (Utah)
- Thommie Walsh (Dancer & Choreographer): escorted by Caroline DeVonne Howe (Wyoming)
- Delta Burke (Designing Woman who was Miss Florida 1974): escorted by Lisa Marie Munzert (Delaware)
- Rick Lester (San Antonio Symphony Executive Director): escorted by Kimberly Hoskins (Arizona)
- Florence Anthony (Entertainment Columnist): escorted by Majorie Vincent (Illinois)
- Sidney Sheldon (Writer Director & Producer): escorted by Karrie Mitchell (Colorado)
- Gianna D'Angelo (Opera Singer): escorted by Tricia Ann Luedtke (Wisconsin)
- Shirley Jones (Actress & Singer): escorted by Brittny Gae Thompson (Oregon)
- Ray Murray (AM Philadelphia Host on WPVI ITTL; Evening Magazine Host on KYW IOTL): escorted by Nancy Cox (Kentucky)
- John Forsythe (Played Blake Carrington on Dynasty): escorted by Kendra Lee Ruwe (Idaho)
- Jerry Rife (Vice President of Production Finance for Image Films): escorted by Lynnae Marie Thurik (Washington)

Afterwards the 10 Semi-Finalist Were Announced as Debbye Turner hands the Print Out to Gary Collins and they are...

- Texas (Suzanne Lawrence)
- Pennsylvania (Marla Wynne)
- Tennessee (Dana Brown)
- Virginia (Shannon Noelle Depuy)
- South Carolina (Mary Waddell Gainey)
- Iowa (Kerri Lynne Rosenberg)
- Oklahoma (Cynthia Lynne White)
- Colorado (Karrie Mitchell)
- Illinois (Majorie Vincent)
- Louisiana (Linnea Marie Fayard)

Then The Swimsuit Competition took place but it was preceeded by Kathie Lee Gifford sang "Moonlight" (which was sung by Sergio Mendes)

However thee Talent Competition took place but it was preceeded with a medley of Big Hits that Changed 1990 with Clint Holmes performing Phil Collins' Another Day In Paradise and Michael Bolton's How Am I Supposed to Live Without You, Kathie Lee Gifford sang "Opposites Attract" and the entire cast sang "We Didn't Start The Fire" (that was sung by Billy Joel)

Then The Evening Gown Competition took place but it was preceeded by Clint Holmes singing another song by Sergio Mendes called "Nightlife"

Moments Later, the Finale Number took place that Jekyll & Hyde will be coming to Broadway in 1991 in which Clint Holmes sang "This is the Moment" but in the end, Jim Clancy of Price-Waterhouse handed the envelope to Gary Collins and who won?

4th Runner-Up: Louisiana - Linnea Marie Fayard (wins a $8,000 Scholarship)
3rd Runner-Up: Texas - Suzanne Lawrence (wins a $11,000 Scholarship)

However with Marjorie Vincent winning the crown, Bert Parks came back to sing "There She is Miss America" as Marjorie took her first walk as the New Miss America

We'll great! But in 1991, WOTV in Battle Creek, and also covering Milwaukee and Madison had introduced its "Primetime News" music package by Non-Stop Music (OTL it was introduced by KXAS in 1992), and that same year, WAVY-TV, covering Richmond and Norfolk had introduced its "Newswire" music package by 615 Music (OTL it was introduced by WMAQ in 1992).

But ABC Daytime is introducing two new games to replace the ousted Home Show by 1991, The $25,000 Quiz Attack and Candid Camera. Both of these came from Vin Di Bona, the producers of hit primetime ABC games.

But a clean version of the previously rigged Twenty-One had been introduced by NBC at Saturday 7:30 p.m.

But ABC Daytime is introducing two new games to replace the ousted Home Show by 1991, The $25,000 Quiz Attack and Candid Camera. Both of these came from Vin Di Bona, the producers of hit primetime ABC games.

But That's Not All, If The Home Show gets cancelled ITTL in 1991, Gary Collins will be retired from Broadcast TV and Regis Philbin will replace him as the New Host of the Miss America Pageant beginning with the 1992 Competition which will take place on September 14, 1991, But they are talks that in September 1992 all ABC O&O's will now pick up the Syndicated Daytime Talk Show hosted by Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford as KABC in Los Angeles will pick it up to replace KCOP in Los Angeles as well KGO in San Francisco replacing KNBT in San Francisco and WLS in Chicago replacing WBBM in Chicago as Oprah Winfrey will be moved to the 3PM Slot following General Hospital on Channel 7.

 

[DucNguyen0131]

But, the new Candid Camera, which was on ABC, will be hosted by Dom DeLuise, and will be produced by Vin Di Bona, producers of hit Sunday night shows.

 

[DucNguyen0131]

We'll to @stratonapba , Match Game became the leading daytime game show of all time. But The Home Show will be daytime's most dominant talk show ever. But TriNet will launch Jenny Jones in 1991.

 

[DucNguyen0131]

To @stratonapba , this season, Barry & Enright Productions is doing a comeback with ATN's three quizzers Hold Everything, All About the Opposite Sex and a new Tic-Tac Dough with Patrick Wayne, and NBC had Twenty-One with Robb Weller Saturday nights.
But ATN will launch The Montel Williams Show in 1991 as a competitor to ABC's The Home Show.

AND NOW LET'S PREVIEW THE 1991 NASCAR COCA-COLA CUP SERIES....

Just Kidding We Will Post It Later, After Everything Else That Happened ITTL Between 1990 and 1991

On September 3, 1990, FOX aired a One-Hour Special Premiere Episode of The Challengers at it's usual 7:30 PM ET/6:30 PM CT Time Slot (IOTL: The Special Sneak Preview Episode which aired on the day before Labor Day (September 2, 1990) and The Series Premiere which aired on Labor Day (September 3, 1990) (Shown Below) aired as seperate episodes but both of these episodes we're aired ITTL) however The Show is Hosted by Dick Clark and announced by Don Morrow

On September 10, 1990: TriNet added a New Game Show called Trump Card hosted by Boston Patriot WR Jimmy Cefalo and join by his co-host Former Schneider's Sidekick on Star Search, Debi Massey, However in the Premiere, Although the Show is taped in Trump Castle in Atlantic City, NJ, Donald Trump made a Special Surprise and makes a special address to those who are watching at home.

Over to Barry & Enright Productions: The Production Company is doing a comeback with ATN's three quizzers debuting in September Hold Everything, All About the Opposite Sex and a new Tic-Tac Dough with Patrick Wayne, While a Revival of The Joker's Wild makes it's debut with Host Pat Finn.

But Later in September 1991: Pat Finn left after one season and moved to Tempo to host a new game show called "Shop 'Til You Drop" on Cable (more in that in everything else that happened in 1991 as we move forward), However Jim Lange took over as the New Host for The Joker's Wild for Season #2, in which this is Lange's First Game Show since Puzzle Roulette got cancelled in 1989 however Ed McKay will remain in the announcers booth for Season #2 as the Classic Game keeps going back to the old fashioned way (just like what happened to Jack Barry) with a twist.

Round 1: The Cash Amounts are back on The Reels but it will now be worth from $25 to $250, with a joker in the third window tripling the value of the first two if it came up (and giving that contestant 15 seconds to come up with as many correct answers as possible).

But Instead of Definitions, General Knowledge Questions we're used as Each correct answer earned the current value of the wheels. If a clue was missed, the other two contestants buzzed in and attempt to steal the money and control of the board, First to $2,000 advanced along with the Second Place Contestant while the lowest scorer is emiminated.

Round 2: Classic Joker's Wild will be played and Cash Amounts will be replaced with 5 Categories and 2 Extra Jokers on the First 2 Windows and spins were worth $50 for a Single, $100 for a Double and $200 for a Triple but Spinning 3 Jokers will be worth an instant $500 plus the right to pick one of three categories behind these 3 jokers for $500 per question, First Player to Reach $5,000 wins the game.

Bonus Round: Will Remain the Same, Except no more definitions but the contestant will 5 Spins, but inside each window we have cash, prizes and jokers and one of them is the dangerous devil. he object is to match three of them. If you match all three of them, the prize is yours. However... if you match three Jokers, you'll win the Joker's Jackpot which starts at $25,000 and increased $2,500 if it's not won.

And For NBC on September 3, 1990, To Tell The Truth has been revived hosted by Gordon Elliott (A Current Affair) and announced by Burton Richardson.

However They Brought Back the 1969-1978 Theme but with the Vocals (shown below ITTL) as well as the Utilized Block-Letter Logo from 1973 to 1978.

We'll @stratonapba, that would be amazing, but Twenty-One with Robb Weller will air Saturday nights at 7:30/6:30 Central on NBC, while The $64,000 Question is back on CBS Saturday nights at 7:30/6:30 Central. Both of these were designed to emulate ABC's success with Everybody's Equal.

 

[DucNguyen0131]

To @stratonapba, when we get to the next timeline, but I hope TV construction permits were issued and will start in 1946.
The channel 4 application on TV in Los Angeles went to KFI (OTL the application was held by NBC and started as KNBH in 1949), while the channel 9 application on TV went to another radio entity KFWB (OTL KFI got the construction permit).
KFI was a NBC television affiliate due to its longtime relationship between KFI and NBC radio. NBC bought out KFI radio and TV in 1953, while putting the Cleveland radio and TV stations up for sale.
Similarity, the channel 4 application on TV in San Francisco went to KNBC (OTL the deYoungs won the permit and too started as KRON-TV in 1949), while CBS got the channel 2 application in Oakland as KCBS (OTL the application went to KTVU), channel 13 went to non-commercial use, and channel 9 went to KFRC.
Channel 2 in Boston went to WRTB (OTL WGBH got the application), while channel 13 went to non-commercial use as WGBH.
Also too, channel 2 in Dallas went to KIXL-TV (OTL the construction permit was assigned non-commercial, and assigned to Denton, and went for many years, until 1988 as KDTN).
The channel 6 application in Richmond was assigned to Richmond Newspapers, who owns WRNL radio (OTL Wilbur Havens got the construction permit and launched WTVR in 1948).

Nice job @stratonapba , but when we reach 2022, in the next TL, I hope Allen B. DuMont would set up their radio business in 1944, to purchase WCBM-AM-FM in Baltimore, KSFO in San Francisco and WNEW-AM-FM in New York City, and set up the DuMont Radio System, with the DuMont Television Network following in 1946 to own and operate stations in Washington and New York City. Tribune had set up its own system in 1945 with the purchase of WMCA-AM-FM in New York, which hooked up with WGN-AM-FM to set up the TriNet Radio System, which later launched its own network in 1948, the TriNet Television Network.

In this universe, let's look back at 1991! We have a new version of Candid Camera with Dom DeLuise in the works.

 

[stratonapba]

@Duc4AlternateHistory: The 2nd Timeline will start soon but it will be regardless on when we get to 2022 or Not as our current TL (Life After the Black Sox) is in progress but...

LET'S TALK A LOOK AT MORE STUFF THAT HAPPENED IN 1990 & 1991

On January 7, 1991: ATN Revived the $100,000 Pyramid with Host Pat Bullard at 7:30 PM ET, The Guests appearing on Premiere Week are Vicki Lawrence Schultz and Clifton Davis

Saturday Night Game Shows are ready to enter at 7:30 PM ET/6:30 PM CT with a Revival of Twenty-One hosted by Robb Weller with Larry Van Nuys on the Announcers Booth the new wrinkle is a New Bonus Round called Perfect 21 making it's debut as a contestant could answer 6 true/false questions of increasing difficulty under a specific category. Each new question increased the point value, starting with 1 point, then 2, 3, 4, 5, and finally 6 points. Each point was worth $1,000 so the maximum total was $21,000.

In Addition, CBS revived the $64,000 Question with host Bobby Rivers at 7:30 PM ET/6:30 PM CT Johnny Gilbert is the announcer and the Theme Music was the same as the 1976 Revival of the $64,000 Question (called the $128,000 Question) performed by Charles Randolph Grean heard below, however the show is taped at CBS Television City in Hollywood

However CBS Renewed the $64,000 Question for Season 2 and brought in a Re-Recording of the Theme performed live by Tom Scott and the L.A. Express.

And Speaking of Tom is FOX going to composed a theme music for a New 7:30 Saturday Night Game Show right before Star Search with John Schneider?
Answer: Yes!, FOX Revived Name That Tune with Host Peter Allen (His 1992 death is Butterflied away ITTL) with Tom Bahler providing the Music along with a House Vocalists made up of those who had performed on the Troupe in Miss USA or Miss Teen USA, However Charlie O'Donnell is the announcer.

However: Tom will still conduct music for The Pageant Alliance and Miss Universe to go along with his resume as becoming the Music Director for the all-new Name That Tune with Peter Allen.

Also: FOX debuted a New Show on Sunday Night right after Solid Gold called Video Challenge hosted by Steve Kelley however the show lasted for One Season but Steve Kelley will continue to Contribute Segments on Solid Gold involving New Music Videos by Up And Coming Artists who will make their way to their Big Break.

In Addition: However Steve Kelley was a Guest Host on the Rhythm Radio Countdown since 1989.

UP NEXT: What's On TV for NASCAR?
THEN: We Will Look at #1's on AT40/CT40/ACC/RRC followed by Miss USA 1991.

We'll to @stratonapba , I was wishing the 2nd TL will start when you reach 2022. In 1926, the NBC Radio Network launches, followed a year later, by the 1927 launch of the NBC Blue Network years later, by the 1928 launch of CBS Radio, and then in 1934, by the Mutual Broadcasting System. As the Blue Network still broke off from NBC in 1942 to launch ABC, two more radio networks will launch in the 1940s, which are the DuMont Radio Network (anchored by WCBM in Baltimore-Washington, KMTR in Los Angeles, WNEW in New York, WIND in Chicago and KSFO in San Francisco) and the TriNet Radio System (anchored by WGN in Chicago, KXLA in Los Angeles, KLX in San Francisco, WBAL in Washington-Baltimore and WMCA in New York). Six TV networks will launch between 1946 and 1948.

But we're now in 1991, and we're getting the NASCAR races on the way.

 

[stratonapba]

@Duc4AlternateHistory: Great Job on your Previous Posts but we will start the 2nd Timeline which will occur Later Tonight (or Tomorrow) but the title will be called Collabratively Coast to Coast, However I will recap what you did in this thread and transfer it to that new TL but that's not all when we get to the 1950's, There will be an earlier CFP (or College Football Playoff that is) and an Earlier Super Bowl pitting the Champions from the AFA and NFA which will be held on a neutral site.

But the Catch is: The CFP National Championship Game will be played on the week before the AFA-NFA World Championship Game and both Pro & College Football Title Games will be held on a Neutral Site when we get to 1951 as well as expansion across the United Baseball League this time to Los Angeles and San Francisco.

But For Now, Let's Check the TV Rights for NASCAR in 1991

NASCAR on FOX
CGNS Races Televised: 7 (Including 2 Playoff Races)
CCCS Races Televised: 14 (Including 4 Playoff Races)

We'll nice, but they'll move it to the new TL, which will start in the 40s with the radio and TV networks (six of them are ABC, CBS, NBC, Mutual, DuMont and TriNet) and sporting events.
