The program was consistently paired with "Fight of the Week", the weekly network broadcasts of 10-round boxing matches on ABC, hosted by Don Dunphy. The fights were broadcast by WABC, Channel 7 in New York City, beginning at 10:00pm Eastern time. On most nights, the fights lasted until 10:45pm. To fill the available 15 minutes before 11pm, ABC broadcast "Make That Spare". If the fights ran late, "Make That Spare" was pre-empted. ("Jackpot Bowling", a bowling show on NBC, followed the same scheduling format during its 1959-60 airings; that show was likewise tied to "Fight of the Week's" predecessor, "Gillette Cavalcade of Sports Friday Night Fight".) The program was broadcast live from the Paramus Bowling Center in Paramus, New Jersey; the show's varying time slot was adjusted through how much time the contestants were given to banter or to prepare for each shot (the game had to be moved along more quickly if a boxing match ran late). Miller High Life and Kool cigarettes were the show's sponsors.
