If the local ABC affiliate in South Florida was WPLG , and the first run syndication show premiered there, did people call either an ABC show or a Channel 10 show, or did they knew that any show that premiered at 7 PM was not an ABC show? Im from Puerto Rico so my parents really didnt watch the english US networks, and I only started watching them as a teen in the late 2000s, so at first I didnt know what syndication was. I just assumed it worked like cable networks, and that Friends reruns on The WB on cable meant it was a The WB show that was regularly reran (it kinda fit with the “young adult female” oriented shows there and it was a Warner show anyways). Always thought Oprah, Judge Judy, and Access Hollywood were network shows.
