You're misremembering WWOR's scheduling -- I happen to have some TV Guides from that era, including the week of the premiere (October 10, 1987), and they had Morton Downey Jr. at 9:00 and news at 10:00. (They had "Entertainment Tonight" at 8:30 and, at least that particular week, "Bosom Buddies" reruns at 8:00. Eventually, they had their version of "Evening Magazine"/"PM Magazine" in the 8:00 time slot.)
