I'm posting this here, because while browsing around Wikipedia today, I discovered that an editor removed the list of stations that carried it (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Charles_in_Charge&oldid=1034262998), because in their words (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Charles_in_Charge&oldid=1034263036), "it wasn't need":

When Charles in Charge returned to television, there had been an arrangement made with stations owned by Tribune Broadcasting to carry the program in first-run. Through this arrangement, the show was also able to gain nationwide carriage as its Chicago affiliate, WGN-TV, was a national cable superstation.

In 1988, with the series nearing the one hundred episode mark, distributor MCA Television began advertising in trade publications that they would begin selling reruns of Charles in Charge to local stations for a fall 1989 launch. The show reached the hundred episode mark when the 1988-89 season ended, and the show began airing daily in syndication shortly thereafter. After the final episode aired in 1990, the syndication package added them as well; the package included the first 22 episodes that had aired on CBS and the 78 that had aired over the first three seasons in syndication.
