Way Out Games - Broadcast History

Broadcast History

Unfortunately, due to low ratings this was the only season for Way Out Games.

Way Out Games aired Saturdays at 12:30 P.M. Eastern from September 1976 to January 1977. It then moved a half hour later to 1:00 P.M. Eastern from February to April 1977. Then it aired at 7:00 A.M. Sundays from April to September 1977.

Some CBS affiliates even dropped Way Out Games midway through its run in favor of syndicated series (like Soul Train) and sports, such being commonplace among Saturday morning series after 12 Noon and on Sunday mornings.
