This isn't even the first time this has been an issue in recent years --
there were a couple "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" special events that
aired on ABC prime-time while the syndicated series was airing on various
channels in various markets.
(Back in the 20th century, this was more common with the network daytime
version versus the "evening" syndicated version. One notable example is
"Family Feud," which was airing in ABC daytime while the biggest local
station group airing the syndicated run was the NBC owned-and-operated
stations.)
And then there were the similar shows which had both "first run"
episodes, as well as years' old reruns, which... had slighlty
different names.
The one I recall was "Gunsmoke" vs. "The Penderosa" (or
at least I think I remember that..)
Also "Emergency" vs. "Emergency One". Or something.
Maybe.
