Well, of course not literally every station, but the stations that I'm aware of (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=It%27s_a_Living&oldid=979872947) thus far. I'm posting this here because there's currently an editor on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=It%27s_a_Living&oldid=979992756), who thinks that there shouldn't be a list of stations for first-run syndicated programs:

In San Diego, the 1985-86 season aired on KUSI-TV 51 and then it moved over to XETV-6 for the 1986-87, 1987-88, and 1988-89 seasons.

I found a few more:
Knoxville WBIR 10, at least for the 1985-86 season
Greeneville, Tenn. (Bristol-Kingsport-Johnson City area) WETO 39 (now WEMT)
Salinas KAAS 18
Wichita KSAS 24
Danville, Ky. (Lexington area) WDKY 56, until the last season, when it was on the short-lived WLKT 62 Lexington (big affiliate downgrade there, as in Chicago that season where it went from WGN to the not-so-Super 66)

In Philadelphia, it moved over to WTXF-29 for the final season, not long after WTXF picked the previous seasons up to run five days per week. There was a brief, unusual period when WPHL was running new episodes and WTXF was airing reruns.
