I'll never forget Oct 1987!
At that moment I had no idea it would change how we all think of the franchise.
What day and time did Star Trek TNG air in your area during it's orignal run?

It was WAY too long for me to remember precisely when it would air and what time and it doesn't entirely help that I was born in the middle of it's original run. But I do remember it would air on UPN 57. Regrettably I do remember this was before they called it UPN as the network didn't get that name until I think around the time Voyager premiered.
It was WPSG-TV, channel 57 out of Philadelphia Pennsylvania that aired Star Trek: The Next Generation and while I can't remember which episode i saw first either "Phantasms" or "Dark Page" were the first two episodes I remember watching and it was the of Troi running down the dark corridor scenes in "Dark Page" that had me sold.
Getting back to the question though, although this doesn't completely answer it because I am pretty sure TNG's original run was already over at this point but i do remember recording TNG episodes in reruns when it aired at 10:00pm timeslots on weeknights and I even recall quite clearly there being a 1:00am timeslot that even as a kid i would record or stay up late to watch if my mom let me!
To the interested, "The Best of Both Worlds, Part 2" was the first new episode of TNG to air after I was born.

Yes, I came in on BBC2 early in the TOS rerun during the long hiatus between BOBW 2 and Family, though I saw some episodes of TNG Season 6 on Sky One during a short trial period with cable TV. I didn't see the first three TNG seasons until BBC2 went back to the start in 1996, and before then they'd had an air of mystique about them whenever there were callbacks in the later seasons; who was Tasha Yar? Oh, the uniforms were different at the beginning? etc.
August 1990 in Northern California.
As I recall, the station just added the first two seasons of TNG into their pre-existing TOS timeslot, then repeated TOS after "Shades of Grey".
It used to air Saturday night at 7pm on KCPQ Channel 13 right after TOS, which aired at 6pm. Then, when DS9 started, TOS was dropped and TNG got bumped back to 6pm and DS9 ran at 7pm.
I can't remember when TNG started strip syndication, but I do know that the episodes aired very late at night, after the late local news, or early in the morning, around 1-2am.

TNG aired in Australia on channel 9 on Tuesday nights at between 10:30pm and 11:00pm. Quite often later. The channel didn't really care about Star trek that much.
Fox. I believe 7 PM on Saturdays and 6 PM on Sundays.
I was too young to remember the exact day and time, but I did find online that the original independent Dallas station was called KTXA-21.
