WABC added "Oprah" to its lineup in the fall of 1986, and placed it at 10:00 a.m., following its locally-produced talk show "The Morning Show". Having its roots in a local morning show at WABC's sister station in Chicago, "Oprah" was an immediate success and in December 1986, WABC decided to move it to the 4:00 p.m. timeslot. The move, which turned out to be permanent as "Oprah" remained at 4:00 p.m. for the next 24-plus years, displaced the game shows airing there and WABC needed to find a new home for "Jeopardy!".
