Guy Lombardo was always on CBS when I was little (the old folks always insisted on watching
him). That was true until it's end in 1975 or 1976. At that time (1968), Lombardo's show was the
only one to provide live coverage of the ball drop at Times Square. NBC simply had Carson on if it
was a weekday and ABC only became memorable when Dick Clark's Rockin' Eve premiered on
this date in 1972. Prior to that, well the schedule says Joey Bishop and I believe it - but we never
watched.

Actually, at that point Lombardo's annual beginning-of-year ring-ins were syndicated by ABC to
local stations. In New York, in fact, the local station to air them was WABC-TV, preempting Joey
Bishop. I don't think it was until the early 1970's that Lombardo returned to CBS. He was
definitely back at "the Eye Network" by the time 1972 gave way to 1973.
And yes, Rockin' Eve indeed debuted on NBC on the date in question in '72. This meant that in
New York, WNBC-TV's Film Festival screening of The Seven Little Foys (1955) had to be run on
Saturday, the 30th - the last time the station showed any films on late Saturday nights if
something had happened on a Sunday in question.
And B.T.W., the last New Year's celebration Lombardo presided over was when 1976 became
1977, all televised by CBS. (And it was also the last hurrah for longtime announcer Ben Grauer,
who passed away some months before Lombardo.) CBS tried to carry on for a few years
afterward with various different formats, but it just wasn't the same.
And by the time Rockin' Eve moved to ABC, not only was Joey Bishop gone, but Dick Cavett
either was or was about to be - and the network had their late-night Wide World of
Entertainment umbrella in place.

I wonder where WYAH TV 27 was. I guess they were still nearly all religious and the newspapers
and TV Guide felt that the viewership was too low to include the station in their listings.

I don't think WYAH was listed before 1969; it certainly
wasn't when I lived in Hampton Roads (1966-68) but
it was in the Virginian-Pilot and Ledger-Star.
That first "New Year's Rockin' Eve" telecast (on NBC)
was actually titled "Three Dog Night's New Year's Rockin'
Eve" since they were the main attraction; it was, nevertheless,
Dick Clark's show. And yes, when it moved to ABC, that network
had been doing "Wide World Of Entertainment" for about a year,
with Cavett one week a month, Jack Paar one week, and specials
and "In Concert" the other two.

It's my unprovable contention that ABC didn't have the first
"New Year's Rockin' Eve" for two reasons: (1) they had the Sugar
Bowl in primetime Dec. 31, 1972, and the game didn't begin until
9 PM (ET), pushing it past midnight in the East; and (2) Lawrence
Welk did a special New Year's Eve show, and most of his stations
were ABC affiliates (that had continued to carry him after the network
dropped him).

That's weird -- why would WDBO not colorcast two particular Sunday morning shows, when the
rest of the network schedule was in color (at least you don't indicate any similar annotations on
the other CBS offerings). It's even stranger that the very next show (Face The Nation) was
colorcast. Maybe the color equipment got a few hours off on Sunday morning to attend early
church, and didn't get back until 11:30? ;D
11 AM Church Service (probably First Baptist Church
of Orlando)
Almost certain -- First Baptist was a Sunday morning staple on WFTV for ages -- it was on the
schedule when I first came to Orlando in 1970.

Ah, the oddities one runs into in these old TV Guides!
Everything else Ch. 6 carried from CBS that day aired
in color, with three exceptions: (1) "Tom & Jerry" was
delayed to Saturdays at 7:30 AM and aired in black and
white in Orlando; (2) "Celebrity Game" (5 PM) was reruns
of a primetime show that had aired on the Eye Network
in 1964 and '65 in black and white; (3) "The Violent World
Of Sam Huff" originally aired in 1960.
But as to why Ch. 6 could not colorcast two programs
airing in pattern is beyond me.

Does the T&J delay in B&W indicate that perhaps they did not yet have sufficient color VTR
capability to time-shift in color? Or are there other delayed CBS shows listed that aired in color?
Ah, the oddities one runs into in these old TV Guides!
Some years back, I chatted with a fellow who worked in Radnor for a time, well after the date of
this issue. He claimed that even at that point, TVG was still putting together the magazine's
listings the old-fashioned way: manually setting the type, taking program episode descriptions
off weathered old 3x5 cards, etc. Sounds like they were a little slow to modernize their ops and
make things more accurate and efficient. If that is the case, it's amazing they did as good a job as
they did, putting out dozens of different editions on a weekly basis.

Ch. 6 delayed "Gunsmoke" and "The Lucy Show" from Monday
7:30 and 8:30 respectively to Wednesday at 7 and 8 respectively,
and aired both in color.
I'm wondering if somebody was asleep at the switch on Sunday
mornings re "Tom And Jerry" and didn't record it in color. However,
the CBS year-end religious special and "Camera Three" aired in pattern,
so there's no real explanation I can give you for why they aired in
black and white in Orlando but in color in Ft. Myers and Tampa ("Camera
Three" was pre-empted in Ft. Myers).
I wish it was as simple as explaining why "The Flintstones" aired in color
in New York but not in New Haven; in the early years of that show only
the ABC o&os aired it in color.
And regardless of the technology, it was something of a miracle that
TV Guide was able to put out all those editions every week. I know
the regional editions were a victim of a steadily-increasing number of
channels (and I think it was priced out of most people's reach) but I
miss them just the same.

In my opinion, I think the regional bureaux (whose addresses you find at the bottom of the first
black and white page) helped out a little.

See Kris Trexler's page about KAKE-TV Wichita in the 1960s and its
inability to broadcast ABC color:
http://www.kingoftheroad.net/KARD_html/kard5.html
It sounds as if KAKE-TV's transmitter just was not yet able to pass color
(I've read similar anecdotal evidence about other smaller market stations,
too). Back then, there were also cases where the Telco lines to some
even smaller markets were still monochrome only.

I wasn't in the Tampa Bay area back in late 1967, but from what I know of WTVT's history, they
might have bumped the Friday episode of Joey Bishop for Shock Theater, which featured horror
movies.

Exactly, and sometimes they ran double features. However, sometime in 1968 Joey was finally
picked up by ABC affiliate WLCY (now WTSP).
You can check some of my Central Florida postings from 1968. I happened to be in Florida the
night Merv Griffin made his debut on CBS (August 18, 1969), and WTVT delayed his Friday show
to Sunday as well.

I see no WAVE of desire for Let's Make A Deal or Match Game, and
unless The John Forsythe Show was run on delay, or this week was

Did WCPO air it somewhere out of pattern?

Was this a one-time or a very short-run filler after

There's no mention in Brooks & Marsh of a run in the
65-66 season.

The full title was initially Hollywood Talent Scouts, and was hosted by Art Linkletter. According to
Brooks & Marsh, the series had two runs, the first from June to September 1965, and again from
December 1965 to September 1966. In the first run, one of those who appeared on the program
who later made it big was future Smothers Brothers regular Pat Paulsen. This airing was from its
second run, by which time its title had been expanded to Art Linkletter's Hollywood Talent
Scouts.

John Forsythe's show apparently was pre-empted
in Louisville; I can't find it in other 1966 TV Guides.
WAVE also had a habit of pre-empting NBC's 4 PM
show until NBC started going dark at that time; that
means that "Somerset" wasn't carried there in the '70s.
Eventually, Ch. 3 carried Mike Douglas from 12:30-1:30
and began clearing NBC's 1:30 show (I know this was true
after "Days Of Our Lives" went to an hour but I think the

practice started before then). "Let's Make A Deal" had to
move to ABC and WLKY before it began airing at 1:30 in
Louisville.
WCPO ran "Ange" and "Hazel" at 7:30 and 8 PM, respectively,
on Tuesdays. "Rawhide" was airing on CBS in that timeslot,
was on its last legs, and was about to be replaced by "Daktari,"
which was (at least initially) pre-empted on Ch. 9.
And yes, the show is "Hollywood Talent Scouts" with Art Linkletter.
TV Guide simply abbreviated the title. The show lasted through the
summer of 1966. BTW, it was the fourth attempt to revive Arthur
Godfrey's classic '50s talent show; Sam Levenson had hosted "Celebrity
Talent Scouts" in 1960, while Jim Backus hosted a version
in 1962 and Merv Griffin did in 1963 (the Backus/Griffin version was called
"Talent Scouts").

Here's a question for someone:
I notice on these listings, and the ones for Denver as well, NBC and CBS are listed with five
minute newscasts at various times throughout the day. I've also seen this on later year's listings. I
assume these were network newscasts. I was too young to recall them. But these make perfect
sense, as this was well before the age of cable news, and viewers depended on the big three (or
in this case two) to provide tv news. I had no idea they were doing these throughout the day,
though. When did this practice end? My guess it was before 1970, because after '70 or so I
would have remembered them.
KNBC Ch. 4 (NBC)
I wonder . . . did this afternoon movie show, as of 1963, bear the Movie 4 umbrella as used then
by WNBC and WRC?
No. The longtime title of KNBC/KRCA's afternoon movie was "Frandsen's Feature." As best as I
can recall, Movie 4 was never used.

Re: Retro: Los Angeles o&os Friday, November 22, 1963
The five-minute newscast began to disappear

in the mid-'70s (ABC had abandoned its newscast
in 1968). Around 1976 NBC switched to a one-minute
update like the one it used at night, and ABC started
doing "ABC Newsbrief" after either "All My Children" or
"One Life To Live," I don't remember which. CBS stuck
with Douglas Edwards' five-minute newscasts until 1980,
when it began airing one-minute newsbreaks after "The
Price Is Right" and "Guiding Light." Edwards continued
to do the morning ones until his retirement in 1988;
Dan Rather usually did the afternoon ones since they
were largely a preview of that night's "CBS Evening News."
A popular feature on ABC that many of you may recall was
"FYI," a one-minute general-information series with Hal Linden
as host; that ran several times a day in the early '80s.
The longtime title of KNBC/KRCA's afternoon movie was "Frandsen's Feature." As best as I can
recall, Movie 4 was never used.
Then what would have been the title after Tom Frandsen left for KHJ (now KCAL)?
Frandsen's other show, called FYI was on KNBC in 1967-68, at 3:30, right before the movie. So I
don't think he left KNBC for KHJ-TV until the late 60s. By that time, I'm pretty sure KNBC had
started their re-vamped news (KNBC News Service) with a second hour at 5:00, which would
have knocked out the movie, which in its last years, ran from 4:00 to 6:00. They probably
plugged in syndicated programming from 4:00 to 5:00, though I don't remember for sure.
Anybody have a retro weekday LA schedule from 1968 or 69?

A popular feature on ABC that many of you may recall was
"FYI," a one-minute general-information series with Hal Linden
as host; that ran several times a day in the early '80s.
Several years ago I interviewed Hal Linden for my radio show. Of course he wanted to talk about
Barney Miller and even his 80s bomb..Blacke's Magic. But when I asked him about that one
minute show he did.."FYI", Hal denied it !!! Saying he had no idea what the hell I was talking
about. He knew of no show called "FYI".
I remember "FYI" and actually thought it was good so I guess, Hal Linden thinks otherwise,
enough so to erase it from memory. Kinda reminds me of the story some years back about the
man & woman who did that advice show for kids .."Dear Alex and Annie". At the time neither
one claimed to have done that on TV.
Well Hal can deny it all he wants, but here's a link to some information about that FYI...along
with pictures. The FYI that Frandsen hosted was a half-hour show produced by KNBC - don't
know if it was syndicated or just local in LA. If I remember correctly, it focused on consumer
information - not unlike David Horowitz's later Fight Back! programs...though it's possible I'm
confusing the two, since Horowitz also worked for KNBC. ???
http://www.fuzzymemories.tv/screen.php?m=xxfyixx
I don't think it's so much active denial as the effect of a couple decades on the memory of
something that was a very minor gig in Linden's long career. I don't know how many of those
FYIs were done, but they were only a minute long, and likely filmed back-to-back in a matter of a
day or two. I doubt if they required much preparation or effort on his part, and certainly little to
no rehearsal.
You'd be surprised how much can be lost to the fog of memory in a busy career. I heard Alan
Alda in a radio interview a few years ago (around the time that her began appearing on The West
Wing), and in talking about M*A*S*H. he said that 2-3 decades after the fact, he would every so
often catch a rerun on TV, and have no memory of doing the episode -- even in some cases, a
show that he wrote and directed!
Oh, yes. People in a certain age bracket (uh...mine...50 plus) forget a lot of things, professional
and personal. I recently re-connected with a long lost friend a couple of years ago. I told him that
I was thrilled to see him for the first time in 35+ years. He looked a bit offended, and mentioned
a week-long visit he made to my home about 20 years ago. Once he reminded me, I was able to
dredge it up from the moth-eaten fringes of my memory banks. Otherwise, that memory was
gone forever.

To get back to the issue at hand: I also noticed there was no late-afternoon movie on KABC-TV as
of 1963. In what year would such a movie show have started (and I presume The Big Show title
would have been used at the outset)?
As for what would have aired on KNBC before their mammoth Newservice as of the late 1960's: I
have a 1970 L.A.-Metro edition of TV Guide where they ran The Mike Douglas Show. (In fact, I
noticed that four out of the five NBC O&O's ran Mr. Douglas' daytime gabfest. The only
exception: New York's WNBC-TV. In the Big Apple TMDS was aired on WOR-TV from 1965 to '68,
then picked up by WCBS-TV in 1968.)

I seem to have read in Google News searches of Los Angeles Times references that by 1966,
some of KNBC's movie shows bore the Movie 4 title. Definitely the Saturday night edition that
(again, from what I saw) premiered on Sept. 17, 1966 (this seemed to be their equivalent of
WNBC-TV's Saturday Film Festival that premiered that same day).

I wonder if Linden remembers the kids' show he did,
Animals, Animals, Animals, Sunday mornings on
ABC 1976-81.
As for Mike Douglas I remember WRC carrying him in
Washington in the '70s. And it would be a no-brainer
that WKYC would carry him in Cleveland; his show started
there in 1961 when it was still KYW.

no-brainer that WKYC would carry him in Cleveland; his show started there in 1961 when it was
still KYW.
That's why I said "four of the five NBC O&O's"; so did WMAQ in Chicago at one point. But in
terms of KYW/WKYC - I seem to have read something on the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia
website to the effect that what became KYW-TV in 1965 in the City of Brotherly Love had aired
Douglas' program as early as 1963 when the station was still NBC-owned WRCV-TV.
Funny how things get off topic....So to get even more off-topic, It's odd to me that so many NBC
local affiliates were doing their newscasts in color and the network was not, as seen in the NBC
11/22/63 coverage between WBAP (Ft. Worth) and the network. Why do you suppose the first
full color network did not have color newscast?
If you think about it, color really didn't come around until foxy Barbara Walters appeared on the
"Today" show. ;D
At the time, only the very well-off NBC affilates were equipped for local LIVE color. News was
pretty much a second-thought at the time, even at the O&O's. Since most of the NBC affilates
were not equipped for color, yet and since NBC still had quite a few black and white cameras left
at 30 Rock, the NBC news department did not think color was a priority. However, that did
change for the 1964 Conventions. NBC carried gavel-to-gavel coverage of the 1964 Conventions
in color. Within a year or so after 11/22/63, NBC pushed for color for all of the affiliates. By 1966,
ALL NBC affilates were equipped for network color. All LOCAL color would still be a couple of
years later. Also, make note during the NBC JFK coverage that the studio they used was rather
dark. With the way it looked, the color cameras would not work very well in that dark setting.
The WBAP feed was in color during the first few breaks from Dallas. But, eventually NBC
requested WBAP to remove the color burst signal, which they did. Also, bandwidth for color on
AT&Tcircuits was at a premium at the time. Getting a signal from Dallas to New York, never mind
sending color, was a miracle considering they had to get that feed within a few minutes time at
the time of assassination. This tragic event really changed the course of news programming.
As I've mentioned before, I also believe a lot of news programming at the network level was slow
to convert to color because, really, color didn't do a whole lot to enhance the viewing experience
of a talking head at a desk, as it did for a movie, variety show, game show, sporting event, etc.
News was a much more somber, serious business in those days (unlike the circus it has become)
and I think they were far more concerned about the content than about how pretty it looked.
The WBAP footage on 11/22/63 got better with each subsequent switch -- I think the initial
gloominess of the set might have had more to do with lights and cameras not getting a full
warmup in the haste to get on the air. The same can be seen on NBC when they first switched to
David Brinkley in Washington -- the video on that first feed was murky and low in contrast. I
figured under ideal non-emergency conditions they would have waited a bit longer, but felt it
was important to get some reporting/reaction from the Nation's Capital as soon as possible.
Regarding the gloominess of sets - it reminded me that local news shows in this era in Los
Angeles barely bothered with sets. Slap some sort of textured backdrop behind the
anchors...maybe some sort of map-thing, then stick the anchor and reporters at a cheap Formica
counter, and away you go. I recall reading some reporter's memoir of working for The Big News
on KNXT in this era...and his description of the plain and dirty set with litter and cigarette butts
all over the floor that the janitor never bothered to sweep up.
The first flashy news program I can remember was KTLA's in the mid 60s - KTLA was the first
station in LA to adopt chroma-key technology a year or two ahead of the others; so you'd watch
George Putnam standing on the set reading the news in his booming voice with the filmed action
moving behind him. He'd introduce the story, the action would start behind him, then they'd
slide his image to the right, and off the screen. Very dramatic.
Then things got flashier with "high-tech" looking sets in the late 60s and early 70s.

Just as NBC did later in the '60s, where the half-hour local hole (1 ET/12 CT)
was not offered on the left coast feed, here the one-hour local slot was also
blown off and the daytime programming went straight through.
While mornings (9-12 PT) were on Central zone clock schedule, afternoons
(12-3 PT) were equivalent to Mountain zone clock time. As many of these
shows still came out of NYC (some live, IIRC), Burbank had to do a one-hour
delay for 12-3, unless it was a tape or film show already "in the house."
Let us not forget a HUGE reason for not doing news in color -- it required using color film from
the field, as well...Which took more money to process.

On the subject of performers not remembering something
they did, Dick Cavett used to say that he would go home
and watch the show he'd taped earlier that evening, and
not remember what certain guests said. The reason, he
said, was that he was concentrating on other things, like
breaking for commercials at precisely the right time.

I don't think conceptually there was even such a thing as an infomercial back then. And I'm not
sure it would have even been legal -- weren't there absolute limits on the amount of commercial
time per hour? Of course, it was possible to purchase 30 minutes of TV time and use it for what
you wanted -- politicians and evangelists come to mind. But I'm pretty sure you couldn't use a
full 30 minute slot on a strictly commercial basis to sell something.

At that time TV Guide used the term "Commercial Film."
There had been such things in the '60s promoting such
ventures as classical-music collections and chinchilla raising.
In fact, when the modern "infomercial" first appeared in the
mid-'80s TV Guide used the term "Commercial Program" for
a time before changing to "Infomercial" and, towards the end
of the digest format, dropping infomercial listings altogether.
While the word had not been invented in 1972 I used it because
it's more familiar to today's audiences. Sorry for the confusion,

because the program that aired on Ch. 10 at 10:30 PM was not
an infomercial as we think of the term.

eight.)
Paul Lynde was invariably center square, Charley Weaver, IIRC, sat lower left (viewer's left, his
right)...anyone remember which sqaure Wally Cox usually occupied?

11:30 Merv Griffin (Bing Crosby, Bob Hope,
and Dorothy Lamour talk about the
"Road" pictures.)
Merv actually got Bob Hope to chat at length about something? I always remember Hope doing
those sort of "drive-by" talk show appearances (especially with Carson) where he would breeze
by for a quick segment, then leave (sometimes actually on-camera at the segment's end) to give
the impression that he was super-busy and always had some other engagement to rush off to.
Did he ever actually sit down for the duration of a talk show?

Odd time, indeed, as the target age group would (presumably) be in bed by this time on a school
night (at least in 1972). They probably just had a half-hour to fill, but you'd think they'd find
something a little more time slot-appropriate to fill it, or just sign off at 10:30. Does that TVG
indicate that this was a M-F thing, or just this one night?

The "commercial film" I was familiar with most before the modern infomercial era was that for
"Shop Smith", one of those rotary saw-type tools that are often advertised on Saturday and
Sunday afternoons. I think these Shop Smith infomercials continued into the early-1990s, well
after the modern infomercial was developed.

Did commercial films actually count against limits on commercial time? If so, I would imagine
that there weren't many of them back then.

Wally Cox was in the top-left corner. Rose Marie was always in the middle top. I seem to
remember Vincent Price occupied the top right corner.
Forgive me, but I can't remember -- who replaced Wally Cox when he died?

"Electric Company" at 10:30 on Ch. 24 was a one-shot;
it sounds like filler but maybe the station justified it by

saying something like, "We want to give parents a chance
to see what their kids are watching," or see it, then
encourage their kids to start watching. But it's one of
those scheduling moves you blink twice in disbelief when
you see it.
I don't know if there was ever a permanent replacement
for Wally Cox on "Hollywood Squares," but George Gobel
replaced Charley Weaver, temporarily in 1972 after Cliff
Arquette (Weaver) had a near-fatal heart attack, then
permanently after Arquette's death in 1974.

Funny you should mention about Chinchilla Raising..A friend of mine gave me a CD full of Audio
from Cleveland TV and radio from the 50's and 60's..Mostly Radio and TV Id's. Among the audio
clips was a commercial for Chinchilla Raising..The announcer went on how Chinchillas were "easy
to raise" and how it was a "great money making opportunity",,

Probably not, since those commercial films weren't paid programming, and thus wouldn't really
be considered advertising. Instead, the producers let stations run the films for free -- it was more
of a promotional consideration than actual advertising. My understanding is that the majority of
these films were soft sell or just designed to boost the corporate image.

Original Post, including Newspaper articles on The WXEL opening..
http://clevelandclassicmedia.blogspo...xel-years.html
In "Watching TV," Castleman and Podrazik say that "Captain
Video" ended April 1, 1955 (a Friday, which I know because my
parents' first anniversary was the following day). So did WEWS
pick up the show early in 1955?
Also, was/is Gail Egan a man or woman? I've heard of one man
who spelled his name that way: Gail Compton, who hosted a
DuMont show called "The Pet Shop." But if Gail Egan was female,
somebody was light-years ahead of the curve re news anchors!
Hello bpatrick:
Actually, there was a mistake in dates on my part..The Channel 5 (to ABC)/8 (To CBS) affiliation
switch took place March 2, 1955, rather than April 2..By this time, Captain Video was airing at
5:00 and in fact, was carried Monday, Feb. 28, and Tues. March 1 by both Channels 5 and
8..WEWS likely carried Captain Video to the end of the series..It might have been the only
DuMont show they aired, as more DuMont shows were being canceled by this time..
Regarding Gail Egan:
Here's a preview of one of the first WXEL programs in the Cleveland Press, 12-14-49, With an
accompanying picture of Mr. Egan:
SPORTS REVUE:
A 15 minute sports coverage feature by Gail Egan. Egan was with the Canadian Broadcasting
Company as a sportscaster for 12 years. He once was a scout and publicity director for the
Cleveland Barons (AHL) and now handles public relations for the Cleveland Recreation
Department..
So Gail Egan was definitely male..

I should have paid closer attention; on second look I noticed
he was a sports anchor. Thanks for clearing it up.

A couple of adjustments to your list: WQAD has always been ABC. And KLJB was still
independent, a holdout to join Fox.

I'm not sure about the time-frame, but KLJB was initially a Fox affiliate at the inception of the
network. A short time later, KLJB dropped the network. The station re-affiliated with Fox, I
believe in the early '90s. Again, don't know the exact time-frame on this.

Didn't Fox actually drop KLJB as an affiliate in 1988 because of, IIRC, massive preemptions of the
fledging network's shows? KLJB returned to being a Fox affiliate in the fall of 1990, on the heels
of the popularity of The Simpsons, the first season of which went unseen in the Quad Cities and
eastern Iowa/NW Illinois (unless you were in an area that still got WFLD-32 from Chicago on
cable or received other surrounding Fox stations as KJMH-26 Burlington, IA, WYZZ-43
Peoria/Bloomington or WRSP-55 Springfield).

Re: Retro: Eugene/Central Oregon Thurs, Jan 4, 1979
I noticed that Search For Tomorrow was completely absent from KOIN's lineup in 1979. I know
that KPTV carried a lot of shows that the other network stations in Portland didn't carry in the
past (Search For Tomorrow, the original Jeopardy!, Now You See It, among others). I know that
from a fall 1974 issue of TV Guide that I have from the same area which showed that KPTV
carried Search at 11:30 AM. I also noticed that KOIN didn't carry The Price Is Right either.

be an indicator that TV City also passed the second (9 AM ET) New York
feed of the Captain to the left coast at 6 AM PT?
I've also wondered about a similar scenario in the pre-satellite days with
CBS News Sunday Morning, having seen some left coast listings for the
(9 AM ET) show at 6 AM PT, leading me to guess that TV City fed it and
Face The Nation live from 6-8 then again "in pattern" 8-10, except during
NFL season when, IIRC, the CBS pre-game show ("You are looking live at
sold-out RFK Stadium...") was normally at 9:30 AM PT in that era--this
kept the political yakfest to only the 7:30 AM live feed, with perhaps a
refeed in the late afternoon around 4:30 or 5.

What other Television markets do you have listings for?
WCGV-TV (FOX)
10:00pm: Code 3
10:30pm: In Living Color

Were the 10 PM shows previously pre-empted from Saturday night?
No, they were FOX's replacement programming for the cancelled Chevy Chase Show. They didn't
give the hour back to the affiliates until early 1994.

Re: Retro: Georgia Saturday, June 8, 1974 (Part 2)
TPTB deleted Part 1 some time back. I'm not sure
I even have these schedules now, since it's been
about four years since I posted them. If at some
point I run across them I'll repost.
ink Nolan Ryan pitched a no hitter that day for the Angels against the Tigers.
Nope -- he pitched his 2nd no-no on July 15, 1973 against the Tigers, and his 3rd on September
28, 1974 against the Twins.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Sunday, November 4, 1962
The Oilers would host the Texans 7 weeks later, for the AFL Championship, which the Texans won
in the first-ever double-overtime pro football game.
But no sooner did the Dallas Texans win that AFL title than coach Hank Stram, QB Len Dawson
and the rest of the team move up the road to Kansas City and were renamed the Chiefs.

I think you are right. Not only did I make a typo, I got the whole f&*$(#@g phrase wrong!!! For
one thing, I never saw an entire episode of the show, even when it ran on Nick at Nite in the
1980s. I need to stick to the post-1965 period when making comments and let those earlier
shows ride.
Boy, am I dyslexic. Look at my description of "Mister Ed":
"a horse is but of horse, of course"
For the prepositionally challenged, that should have been "... is but A horse ..."
And the line ends, "I am Mister stupid."
I thought the opening line went, "A horse is a horse, of course, of course..."
And some preacher once claimed that if you play that line backwards, it sounds like "Someone
sang this song for Satan." (It kinda maybe remotely does, if you really use your imagination...and
apparently, this preacher had a very vivid imagination...) So, apparently the producers of Mister
Ed were part of some vast conspiracy to corrupt our youth through "backwards masking." :
(For the record, I don't think "Number nine" backwards sounds like "turn me on, dead man,"
either...) ;D
The song was good, but Mr. Ed was funnier. When he was talking on the phone or paging
through the phone book or newspaper--that was hilarious.

Most of the reruns on Channel 11 wound up on KMSP when it went from ABC to being an
Independent
Classic Television must always be preserved!

These were both local kids' shows; the former, Carmen's Cottage, was the indirect successor to
Axel and His Dog.

They were the old films.

...as did first-run production and airing of Verne Gagne's AWA All-Star Wrestling. In fact, the
quality of production on the syndicated version of that series took a noticeable decline when it
moved from WTCN to KMSP. KMSP frequently ran additional matches taped at the St. Paul Civic
Center on one of its two weekend 11:00 A.M. runs of All-Star Wrestling; these matches didn't
usually make it onto the syndication tapes...

"The Girl In My Life" was meant to be a throwback to

the popular '50s daytime show "The Big Payoff." Men
would come on the show and describe some good deed
or sacrifice their wives, mothers, sisters, girlfriends (does
that pretty much cover the ground?) had performed; then
the female in question would come out and receive a prize.
What had made CBS dominant at 3 PM in the '50s seemed
dated and corny in the '70s, and I doubt if the word "girl"
in the title went over too well either, since in the era of
women's lib it has become derogatory to call a female over
age eighteen a "girl".
One side note: in the later months of this show's run the
announcer was Bob Warren, no stranger to this type of
thing as announcer on "This Is Your Life" in both the '50s
and '70s (many of you may recognize his voice as Lawrence
Welk's announcer).
Speaking of WTCN-11, here's a clip of their 'extra groovy' station ID from around this same era.
Pretty cool!

Comments:Storer Broadcasting acquired WJW-AM and FM (850, 104.1) from William O'Neil in
late 1954..By 1956 WXEL's Call Letters were changed to WJW-TV..Things were still unsettled for a
while as several "To Be Announced" slots indicate..These were the last days of DuMont as a
viable national TV network..So by the end of 1955 WEWS was exclusively an ABC affiliate..WKBN
had ABC shows all over the schedule, even in just the few days shown here..WKST 45 New Castle,
Pa. Would begin Broadcasting in 1957 As Youngstown's ABC affiliate..(Now WYTV-33)

I recall the CBC holding rights to Simpsons reruns concurrently with CFMT in Toronto and
Channel M in Vancouver, as well as the English Teletoon nationally on cable -- the CBC would run
their shows at 5PM local, while the others show them later in the evening.

3:00 CityLine
CityLine was carried on BCTV as well, another WIC station.
CKRD 6-CBC Red Deer
This show was produced by CFPL London and was hosted by Ross Daily at that time. I didn't
realize the show was seen in other markets, although I know after the station was sold from BBS
to CHUM the show's successor AgVision was found on some stations out west including Global
Winnipeg.

Bookmice was produced by TVOntario and I don't recall it ever being part of the CBC schedule -
this is the first I've ever seen it aired on a commercial station.
CBRT 9-CBC Calgary
As mentioned above CFMT/Omni and CBC held the rights concurrently for Toronto, but I know
for awhile the rights in Western Canada went over to A-Channel. In fact I think it might still air on
at least one of the Citytv stations.

I always find it odd that the Spokane stations

carry the network shows an hour ahead of Eastern
Time. I would think they would carry the shows at
the same time as Central Time, beginning at 7:00
PM.

Almost all Pacific Time stations (including Spokane) follow the same timing as Eastern Time for
prime-time and late-night programming. They only follow the Central pattern for daytime.

Re: Retro: Kentucky Saturday, November 14, 1970

Georgia upset Auburn 31-17 in the rain at Cliiff Hare Stadium that day. It cost Auburn their first
trip to the Sugar Bowl (that would come the next season, when Oklahoma demolished the Tigers
40-22).

This smells of "let's run a local movie on Wednesday nights 9-11
and shunt these shows to really bad Saturday fringe and still kinda
bad Saturday fringe."
McGarrett probably wants Danno to book WHAS for murder one. ;D

Yes it did, and it was also syndicated nationwide -- for another few months, anyway (it ended in
1971).
Actually, as I read it on Wikipedia, the old WATL was still on the air when Turner stole Now
Explosion, which was WATL's most popular (and lucrative) program -- after that show's move to
WTCG, WATL would close down.

...
...and no doubt Chad Everett would want to sue WHAS for malpractice. ;D
I would think WHAS would eventually clear these shows in pattern, once they became very
popular.

As azmunga mentioned above, the show originated from WEWS until September, 1971...Host
Don Webster said in TV 5 anniversary shows that they would rehearse Saturday Morning, break
for lunch, then videotape straight through then play the tape for the local broadcast at
5PM. Some acts would forget to return after lunch..
Here's a lineup announced by Don Webster for a following weeks broadcast:
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
Spanky and Our Gang
Bobby Vee
The Happenings
Bobbie Gentry
Jackie Wilson
The Outsiders
Peaches And Herb
The Five Americans
Great lineup there..
Some of the Story of "Upbeat" as told by Don Webster..
Along with a little on "Polka Varieties" and "The Gene Carroll Show"

I do seem to recall Now Explosion on Ch. 17 in Atlanta in
the summer of 1970, which would have been while the old
WATL was still on the air.
As for WHAS, yes, they did run a movie Wednesdays 9-11 at
that time and, yes, they did eventually carry Medical Center
and Hawaii Five-O in pattern. I remember that about the same
time, WAGA was doing the same thing, only they carried Hawaii
Five-O at the same time WHAS did (Saturday 5 PM) and pre-empted
Medical Center. Eventually, both shows aired in pattern in Atlanta.
Georgia pulled off a major upset in that 1970 game,beating Auburn 31-17. Georgia went 5-5 and
Auburn went 9-2(beating Ole Miss 35-28 in the Gator Bowl).
Nov. 14, 1970 was also a tragic day in the annuals of college football history--it was also the day
of the plane crash outside Huntington, WV (just east of the area covered in this listing) that killed
the entire Marshall University football team (at about 7:35 PM that evening). This is the subject
of the movie We Are Marshall. This tragedy probably, IMO, would have been covered on the
11PM newscasts that evening.
That was terrible,I shed quite a few tears watching that movie. What year was it that Wichita
State's team plane crashed?
I want to say 1973 but i'm not sure, I do remember reading that it was in the early 70's though

Re: Retro: Kentucky Thursday, February 9, 1961
Why so many one-time only color shows on NBC? Wonder if RCA was rolling out a new TV
model, or maybe it was for sweeps...

I should add a story about William Peter Blatty's
appearance on Groucho's show. It seems he liked
to attend parties dressed as an Arabian shiek and
see if anyone could see through the disguise. Blatty's
friend and Groucho's announcer, George Fenneman,
invited him on the show, saying that Groucho was the
world's greatest at spotting phonies. It didn't take long
for Groucho to see through the disguise. Blatty was no
Arabian "because I have an Arabian horse and I know what
they look like." Blatty and his partner, a contestant in
something producer John Guedel had cooked up called the

Mrs. Housing Development contest, answered the big question
and divided $10,000. Supposedly, Blatty used his $5000 to
support himself while he wrote "The Exorcist."
Later there were some unsubstantiated accusations that
question writer Marion Pollock had deliberately made the
questions for Blatty easy, since he had once worked at NBC.
Nothing of the sort was ever proven, just as the quiz portion
of the show was not involved in any rigging.

Sorry about the misspelling of "zones"; I hit

Re: Retro: North Carolina Sun, Jan 7, 1962
When N.C. State hired Everett Case it was the
beginning of North Carolina's being basketball
country; what really did it was UNC's upset win
over Kansas (with Wilt Chamberlain playing for the
Jayhawks) for the national championship in 1957.
Frank McGuire was coach of the Tarheels in '57;
I think by '62 Dean Smith had taken over.
I noticed Steve Allen on WITN. His show was
airing on ABC Wednesdays at 7:30, although no
North Carolina stations carried it at that time

except possibly WLOS (which wasn't in the North
Carolina edition after 1960). (WRAL wouldn't
switch from NBC to ABC until August 1.) That day's
show may have been his last on ABC; the network
actually announced the cancellation after his second
show but let him run thirteen weeks. That last ABC
broadcast aired in pattern December 27, 1961.

It was because of the secondary CBS affiliation that WECT used the 'CBS test pattern' after sign-
off and before sign-on, from the late 1950's well into the late 1980's, per this 1988 clip:

And not long after this day, Allen made a deal with Westinghouse to host a syndicated daily
talk/variety show (The New Steve Allen Show) as a replacement for what was left of P.M. East /
P.M. West, the former part of which was hosted by Mike Wallace. (In turn, after Allen left his talk
show in 1964 to replace Garry Moore as I've Got a Secret host, Group W hired Regis Philbin to
host a program called That Regis Philbin Show.)

I never found but one station in my part of the country
that carried Allen's Group W show: WTAR (now WTKR)
used to run it against Johnny Carson (I don't remember
Regis' show at all). Allen's 1968-72 syndicated show

seems to have been popular in Florida (check some of
my Central Florida listings from that time), and WSB
used to carry it on Saturday afternoons.
Allen was certainly willing to take chances on that
Group W show, however; he had Lenny Bruce on when
no one else would touch him.

Which Westinghouse faithfully carried in pattern on KYW-TV 3 from PM East/West thrugh Allen,
Philbin and Merv Griffin until September 1965 when they opted for Movies until November1,
1965 when Johnny Carson moved over from WEWS-5..

Allen's 1968-71 syndicated show, from what I've read, was handled by Filmways and Firestone
Syndication. The funny thing is, in New York WPIX ran both Allen's syndicated talk shows. Except
in the case of his later effort, Channel 11 picked it up in spring 1969; in its first year WOR-TV
(Channel 9) ran it.
As for his 1962-64 Group W show, Allen also gave early exposure to Frank Zappa.

About the Steve Allen Show:I found a photo in the Cleveland Press Archive with Allen and
legendary Cleveland DJ Ronnie Barrett, doing a promo shoot for the Westinghouse Steve Allen
Show..Here's the caption from that Photo:
"Promotion for new show on KYW-TV at the Sahara Motel. Disc Jockey Ronnie Barrett was picked
as looking most like Allen. Allen's new nightly 90-minute show will begin June 25 on KYW and
other stations in the Westinghouse chain" --Cleveland Press, May 22, 1962

Re: Retro: Carolina/Tennessee Saturday, May 18, 1963
WBTV Ch. 3 Charlotte (CBS/ABC)
7 AM Carolina Calling (Arthur Smith and
an hour of country music)
I have vague memories of Smith airing on some Florida station or other back in the day
(although I seem to recall it under the generic title The Arthur Smith Show). Might have even
been WFTV, but where it fits chronolgically with The Slim Mims Show and Sunrise Jubilee
(uh...yeah, let's not get into all THAT again...), I don't know. Do you recall him offhand popping up
in any of your Central or Northern Florida TVGs?

Not offhand. He did have an early-morning show that
was seen as far west as Austin in the '70s and early '80s
but don't recall its ever being on in Florida.

Loved "I'm Dickens He's Fenster" Wish some cable station would show that again.

I wonder if anyone knows that Stan Laurel was a
big fan of "I'm Dickens, He's Fenster." Interviewed
by Steve Allen for his book "More Funny People,"
producer Leonard Stern said that Laurel would often
write to him with comments and suggestions; the show
did resemble Laurel and Hardy's work (even the theme
song sounded a little like "The Cuckoo Song"). I wouldn't
mind seeing this show again myself.
BTW, John Astin and Marty Ingels got to work together
again--on Phyllis Diller's sitcom in 1967, after the format
of "The Pruitts Of Southampton" changed and Phyllis began
running a boardinghouse; the show was retitled "The Phyllis
Diller Show."

I mentioned above that the Chantays appeared on Lawrence Welk
that night, doing "Pipeline." I think it's on YouTube, but there's a
clip of a 1966 episode of "Ted Mack's Amateur Hour" which originated
at Television City in Hollywood and featured a group of L.A.-area
seventh-graders who did a credible version of that surf classic.
But that's not Welk's greatest inadvertent contribution to rock music.
In 1971 he allowed "One Toke Over The Line" to be sung on the show,
even though some radio stations had banned the song since "toke"
refers to smoking marijuana. According to the story, Welk didn't know
what "toke" meant; he thought it was a religious song from the opening
line, "One toke over the line, sweet Jesus..." Sounds like an urban legend,
but as far as I can tell, the story's true.

I'm guessing WIXT regularly aired Happy Days reruns ("Happy Days Again", titled as such to
distinguish from the first-runs on ABC) in the 7 PM hour at this time.
Would you happen to have anything from the region from the early 90's?

WITI--Gabrielle Carteris had her own show?? ROFLMAO!

Yep, and just like Tempestt Bledsoe, it was one and done.
Don't forget Danny (Bonaduce)!
By the way, is the listing for Channel 24 at 1 AM a misprint, or did both Channels 18 and 24 air
Richard Bey at the same time?
No, the show aired on both stations at the same time. WVTV and WCGV had a LMA at the time
(this was before Sinclair bought WVTV outright) and had the same program inventory, which
meant that some shows would switch stations or even air on both at the same time (at one point
in the late 90s/early 2000s, The Simpsons aired at 6:00pm on WCGV and at 10:00pm on WVTV).

I can understand companies owning two television stations wanting to schedule the same shows
on them at different times of the day. That happens today. For example, the WNYW/WWOR
duopoly in New York; both stations air Wendy Williams' TV show, among other programs that
have been shared...
But I can't fathom the same show - with Richard Bey, of all people - being simulcast on two
stations in La Crosse, let alone Milwaukee!
PLUS, Bey previously ran on Channel 18! Maybe Channel 24 didn't care for Charles Perez or
Tempestt, which also ran on Channel 18 earlier?
It's definitely an oddity, that's for sure. Maybe simulcasting was a budget-cutting move since
both stations were in financial straits at the time. (WVTV had just lost a planned affiliation with
the WB network and as a result had to borrow movies from WCGV's inventory. Though the WB
would eventually affiliate with WVTV in 1998.)

Yeah, she had her own talk show. She left Beverly Hills 90210 to host her own show. Like her
show that premiered in the 1995/1996 season, Carnie Wilson, Shirley, Charles Perez (technically,
his show premiered in 1995 mid 95/96 season), and a number of other shows that I can't think
of, that premiered in the 95/96 season, were all cancelled at once. I didn't care for Gabrielle as it
aired in Chicago, along with the other shows listed.

WVTV was a longtime independent station prior to the WB affiliation. I never knew there was an
effort to affiliate with The WB in 1995. Capemill, do you know why this fell through at the time?
Although Milwaukee didn't have a WB affiliate from the onset, I watched all the network's early
shows on cable via Chicago superstation WGN which, at the time, was permitted to carry WB
shows on the national feed. (That practice ended in fall 1999 when it was deemed there was
sufficient coverage throughout the country.)

A deal with the Gaylord group was made in 1994 to affiliate their stations (KTVT, KSTW and
WVTV) to The WB network. A short while later, the New World/Fox deal was made and as a
result CBS was left looking for an affiliate in Dallas, having lost KDFW to FOX. After failed efforts
to affiliate with KDFI and KXAS (CBS's wooing of KXAS was what made NBC buy into the station
three years later), CBS started wooing KTVT for their affiliation. Gaylord however would only
make the deal if CBS also agreed to affiliate with KSTW as well. CBS, not wanting to lose their last
opportunity of a Dallas affiliate, agreed to the deal and both became CBS affiliates. The deal with
CBS made Gaylord's agreements with The WB null and void and WVTV was stuck as an
independent until 1998, when their new owners signed a deal with The WB.

Thanks for the insight! I had no idea this was going on at the time. I assume KTVT lost its
superstation status when it joined CBS, thus no longer qualifying per FCC requirements.

No Johnny Carson on WSMV? I have seen some Nashville listings in the past that WSMV carried
Johnny Carson's Tonight Show but they didn't show it back in 1987. How did this happen? They
did carry David Letterman though.

Yep. The dish we used to use to beam Carson down there is still on the studio building. (actually,
I *think* the microwave transmitter is still up there too)

Re: Retro:Houston, Monday, September 15, 1986-Network Affiliates
Overlooked one show on channel 11's lineup:
4:30 Jeopardy!
Was Price is Right really on twice a day back then? And don't you mean 4:00 for Jeopardy?
1.The morning version was the CBS version, the afternoon one was the syndicated version
2.Yes, I meant 4:00 PM. Thanks for catching that goof.

OK... What type of show was this? I was thinking it was a Friday show (a la TGIF) but I'm guessing
it may be a religious program...
I am thinking it was some sort of news magazine but maybe someone else could elaborate
further.
Since it doesn't appear again on the schedule for this day, my guess is that it's a repeat of a
weekend magazine show.

There was a syndicated version of Price in the 80s? I never knew that. Who hosted, and how long
did it last?

It lasted one season (1985-86), and it was hosted by Tom Kennedy ("Name That Tune", "Body
Language", "Split Second" among his credits). In many markets, it replaced the nighttime version
of Family Feud on those same stations. This version of Price would in turn be replaced by a
syndicated version of Card Sharks the following fall.
I didn't know Oprah was on at 9am. I didn't even know the syndicated version of M.A.S.H aired
on 11. When did M.A.S.H move to 26? And wasn't Entertainment Tonight on 11 at one point
before moving to 2?

I believe KHOU carried the live feed of Oprah from WLS - back when it was a WLS production,
including the big Circle 7 at the end...
I knew that Jeopardy started on 2, but didn't realize it had moved to 11 by 1986.

Re: Retro: Cincinnati/Columbus/Dayton Tues, Jan 13, 1953
I presume that the Dick Hageman who hosted a show at 2:30 P.M. on WLWT in Cincinnati at this
point is one and the same who later went to CBS in New York (and, as of the late 1950's, was one
of the 20 or so off-camera "hosts" who appeared on a rotational or "pool" basis on WCBS-TV's
The Late Show).

Re: Retro: Cincinnati/Columbus/Dayton Tues, Jan 13, 1953
"Captain Glenn" was likely Glenn Rowell, who partnered with Gene Carroll on a number of radio
shows in the 1930's and 40's..A few months after this, Rowell moved up to WNBK-4 in Cleveland,
doing "Captain Glenn's Showboat" and the Weather Forecast..Later he had an 11:15 PM show
called "Custom Inn" He stayed at WNBK maybe a year or two..Gene Carroll, meanwhile had
already aired his show for several years on WEWS-TV 5..
Re:The Channel Numbers..By January 1955 all except 6 and 10 would have different channel
numbers..
3 WLWC became 4
4 WLW became 5
5 WLWD became 2
7 WCPO became 9
13 WHIO became 7
12 WKRC had been Channel 11-Changed to 12 sometime in 1952..
Seems that in the Early Crosley days Channels 3-4-5 were a lot more intertwined then they
became later on..They shared the same program titles even beyond 50-50 Club and Captain
Glenn, etc..

Judging from the programming options, it appears WATR was in the beginning of its transition
one year later to independent WTXX. They actually have an 11PM news cast, and more recent
syndicated shows like "The Partridge Family", as opposed to reruns of "My Little Margie" & "The
Dick Van Dyke Show" or a generic TV Guide entry that says "Film".
Unfortunately the station also hadn't boosted their power at this point, so their signal was pretty
non-existant north & east of Hartford.
It probably did not cost WATR/20 much to run most of those syndicated shows (Partridge Family,
Bullwinkle and I Dream Of Jeannie) as most of them were available at the time through the DFS
Program Exchange. Basically it was barter agreement. "You run the shows and we'll take a few
minutes for the ads". It looked like WATR was trying to test the waters for becoming a "real"
station. I noticed the local origination on Channel 20 looked much cleaner than the past when I
got the signal on trops in the fall of 1980. They were still on their old tower and transmitter at
the time. However, the color, the local slides and ID's looked more presentable. I sent a QSL
request to the CE. Naturally, they ignored it. However, a few years later as WTXX, I sent another
QSL request and got a nice letter from their CE.

The only cost was air time. The General Mills spots that ran on these shows were part of the
barter. WHCT picked these shows up in 1986. I can still remember dubbing those spots off the
ancient Ampex VR1200 quad we had, and the many adjustments needed to get a band-free
picture!

It looks like they listed more channels at that time! Wow! 27 Worcester and 56
Cambridge/Boston were listed? Hmmmm! To clarify the "59 West Haven/79 Torrington" ID with
WVIT-TV channel 30, those were translator stations. Channel 59 would become WTVU-TV (WB)
channel 59 New Haven in 1995. Thank you for the memories from this New Britain, CT viewer!
P.S. The old WTXX-TV analog channel 20 broadcast tower, red warning lights and all, still stands
to the south of I-84 and east of CT Route 8 in the Prospect/Naugatuck area. WTXX-DT (CW), still
licensed to Waterbury, had their digital channel 20 transmitter on Rattlesnake Mountain in
Farmington, CT, which is much closer to Hartford.

Boy, talk about a lousy news gig for an anchor...
Maybe it was a tape of the 6 or 7 pm newscast? (That would be awfully stale news.) And what
was "22 Alive?' (Is anyone really "alive" at 4:30 in the morning?)

No, but they were at 10AM, when the local talk / variety show was seen live -- the 4:30AM
newscast was likely a pre-recorded repeat.

IIRC in 1987 Fox (then in diapers ;D) only operated on weekend nights. When did they add
weeknights?

Fox added Mondays in fall 1989, Thursdays and Fridays in fall 1990, Wednesdays in fall 1992, and
Tuesdays in January 1993.

The Milwaukee Journal
WDJT-TV (IND) Ch-58
11:35pm: Shirley
The "Big Switch" in Milwaukee was 47 days away (Dec. 11, 1994--WITI-6 from CBS to Fox, and
CBS going to WDJT).
It's ironic that WDJT had picked up the "Late Show" bumped by WITI, and was still airing it with
the switch less than 2 months away (although by this time it was still uncertain what Milwaukee
UHF station would pick up CBS--or if the network would even go unseen in Milwaukee).
WDJT picked up The Late Show after WCGV (which had been carrying it for almost a year
previously) dropped it. When WDJT picked the show up, CBS had not yet signed an affiliation
deal with the station.
WDJT-TV (IND) Ch-58
11:35pm: Shirley
Was this "Shirley" as in reruns of the short-lived NBC 1979-80 Shirley Jones series?
No, it was a Canadian produced talk show featuring Shirley Solomon, a Canadian journalist.
If CBS hadn't worked out an affiliation deal in Milwaukee, then for cable viewers, CBS would have
gotten a waiver to allow cable systems carry an out of market CBS station, such as carrying the
CBS affiliate out of Green Bay, Madison, or the CBS O&O from Chicago. OTA viewers would have
been out of luck, except for those who lived in overlapping broadcast markets, to where they
could either get Chicago, Green Bay, or Madison stations OTA, had an affiliation not been worked
out. While WDJT might have been the least popular choice, it was better than having no
affiliation at all. From what I heard, that was CBS's last choice.
I've always thought that WCGV would have been the natural choice to carry CBS, because they
were practically the Eye's secondary affiliate there. I lived in Milwaukee in the mid-80s, and
Channel 24 carried the CBS Late Night lineup, up to Nightwatch, which was on WITI. Of course,
WDJT was still a start-up operation, while WCGV (and WVTV) was well-established in the market,
and from what I read elsewhere it pretty much took Channel 58 getting the CBS affiliation to be
placed on most of the other Milwaukee-area cable systems.
I sometimes wonder if CBS now wished they kept then WXIX, so that they wouldn't have had to
affiliate with another station. WVTV was WXIX in the early days of Milwaukee TV, and was a CBS
O&O back then. I don't know if CBS approached WVTV or WCGV, as I couldn't find any
information on that. I only found that CBS approached WTMJ, WISN, & WJJA for affiliation, but
were rejected. For WVCY, they were trying to buy the station since it was a religious station
operating on a commercial license, but that was even rejected. I wonder since WDJT's affiliation
with CBS as to how well it's done. Weigel Broadcasting usually does best running independent
station in my eyes, but I won't rule out them running network stations, as they've had to do that
in South Bend on LP stations (wanting to sell those stations to focus on Chicago & Milwaukee).
CBS may have encountered the same problems they had in Detroit when approaching WADL
who while always picking up pre-empted network shows from WJBK made some unreasonable
demands. Or like Dallas and Phoenix where the other stations where already in contract with
nets like The WB and UPN so they went another indy.
Except the only way to keep CBS in Detroit was to buy a low profile station (worse than WDJT),
which was then WGPR, and later changed to WWJ. That is the only CBS O&O without a local
news department. Like WDJT, WWJ was on a high channel number too.

Re: RETRO NEW ORLEANS TV- Monday August 14, 1972
That's odd that WVUE Channel 8 did not air any of the ABC soaps....

WWL-4 (CBS)
9:30 AM Dick Van Dyke
Didn't The Joker's Wild and/or Gambit premiere around this time?
WVUE-8 (ABC)
Yes it is strange that All My Children, General Hospital, and One Life To Live weren't shown not
only that, The Dating Game wasn't shown either.

Joker's Wild, Price Is Right, and Gambit
all debuted September 4, 1972. WWL

didn't carry Gambit, opting for To Tell
The Truth at 10 AM (Central).
About WVUE not carrying the ABC soaps,
that jumped out at me the first time I
saw a New Orleans schedule, in 1970,
and I used to tell people about that,
usually to blank stares. I keep thinking
that might have changed in the fall of
'72; I seem to recall WVUE dropping Love,
American Style at 3. Can anyone locate
a New Orleans daytime schedule from that
fall?

I also recall WVUE picking up What's My Line? at 6:30
in the fall of '72, and I think ABC News moved to 5 PM,
but my memory's hazy on that one. WDSU was the
only station to "checkerboard" 6:30; I remember Anything

You Can Do and Wait Till Your Father Gets Home being on
Ch. 6.
IIRC, WDSU pre-empted Three On A Match at 12:30; not
sure if Somerset was pre-empted at 3.

What you have there is the normal NBC daytime schedule
in 1972. If you're talking about the normal WDSU schedule,
I'm almost positive that "Midday" aired 12-1 and pre-empted
"Three On A Match." What I'd like to see is a New Orleans
schedule from the fall of '72, on a "normal" day (no political

conventions or other special events); I'd like to see if I'm
right about that and also what WDSU aired at 3.

In the Fall of 1972, Midday was still an hour show or to be 100% specific a 55 min. show. Earl
Nightingale ran from 12:55 to 1 pm.
In 1972 WDSU still aired Somerset at 3, but by the Fall of 1973 the afternoon movie started at 3
running for 2 hours instead of 90 min.
WVUE briefly cleared One Life To Live and General Hospital starting in Jan. 1974, but by that fall
they were off the schedule again. All My Children briefly showed up in 1975 and 1976 when ABC
had the show at 11:30 am, but by Jan. 1977 it was gone again.
It wasn't until the Fall of 1977 that WVUE added the ABC soaps permanently.

You mean Jan. 9, 1990--as that date fell on a Tuesday? (Jan. 10 was a Tuesday a year earlier, in

I believe Zabludovsky was more or less Mexico's Walter Cronkite -- very popular guy who had a
long career.

Yes, that ("Fatty and Skinny") is how L&H are known in the Spanish-speaking world.

I remember "24 Horas" with Zabludovsky on KWEX San Antonio in the late '70s.
I think that what was then SIN (Spanish International Network) was getting
the live feed from Televisa since he came on around 10 PM (Central). When
did the broadcast adopt that name?
Also, when did "Siempre en Domingo" with Raul Velasco start?

7:15 El Canejo de la Suerte
On a second read through the schedule, I noticed this slightly typoed listing: "El Conejo de la
Suerte" ("Lucky Rabbit") would be Bugs Bunny, as he is known in Mexico. (Somewhere, buried in
a box, I have an old Mexican Looney Tunes comic book that refers to Bugs thusly...)
As I recall, Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig were just called "Elmer" and "Porky." I don't remember
what they called Daffy Duck ("El Pato Loco," perhaps?)
BTW, if you ever see "Dos Pjaros Locos" ("Two Crazy Birds") in a Mexican schedule, that's Heckle
& Jeckle.
Circa early 90's or so, Telemundo had a morning show consisting of poor prints of badly dubbed
Looney Tunes. One day, I happened to tune in and caught the last minute or so of a Spanish-
dubbed version of "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips," one of the infamous "Censored 11" WB cartoons
that have generally not been televised for many years because of racial or ethnic stereotypes.

I believe the news program became 24 Horas in 1972, and retained that name well into the 90s.
Televisa's veteran news anchor nowadays is Lolita Ayala, who reportedly has been with the
network since 1987 and is best known for keeping a pink rose in a vase on her news desk.

Their schedule is worse than WAIM's -- practically only on the air for CBS prime-time. Anyone
know why it was so?

I think Wikipedia can fix you up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WPCW. That channel is now
WPCW, the Pittsburgh CW affil.

I think that WJNL was staggering into bankruptcy at that point. They were gone within a couple
of years and then resurfaced as an independent, WFAT, in the mid-80's. Still later they became a
WB then CW affiliate and moved to Pittsburgh.
The late movies on WIIC were, of course, the legendary Chiller Theater starring Chilly Billy
Cardille (still active locally in radio). One of the milestones of growing up in Pittsburgh was the
day that you finally convinced your parents to let you stay up late enough to watch Chiller
Theater.
I also remember gymnastics with the rabbit ears in order to pick-up Saturday afternoon college
basketball games on WTRF out of Wheeling, which weren't available locally.

Re: Retro listings: Denver/Wyoming/Rapid City July 10th, 1987
What did KRMA show from 4:30-5:30?
More Seasame Street...
Huh? That's weird. No Mister Rogers or 3-2-1 Contact? I've never heard of a PBS station airing 2
episodes of SS back-to-back during the week. They did it on Saturdays and Sundays, but not on
the weekend.

Both Mister Rogers or 3-2-1 Contact aired earlier in the day on KRMA. Eventually they would
drop the 3:30 airing of Sesame Street and only have the 4:30 showing up until at least 1996.
Some other listings I had from 1994 had KBDI eventually airing Sesame Street at 3:30, with airing
a 90-minute(?) show on Fridays.

I find it interesting that both KWGN and KDVR carried Dick Van Dyke in the same market.

Re: Retro: Central Missouri, NE Oklahoma and NW Arkansas Thursday 9/11/93
Actually, it should be September 16, not September 11.
Anyway, could you please post listings for that actual Saturday?

Did this edition of TVG carry (likely in the cable channels section) listings for KPLR-11 St. Louis, or
any other indies (such as, say, the then-indie--and one year away from NBC--KSHB-41 Kansas
City)?

Typo #3: Please put extra spaces between the number 8 and parentheses, like this: "( 8 )".
Otherwise, this will happen: "(8)".

None of the St. Louis or Kansas City independents were included in this edition.
Thanks for the heads-up on how to avoid the smiley faces. I honestly didn't know how to avoid
this.

One of these shows is not like the other, one of these shows doesn't belong... ;D
By the way, how big is that 700 Club Telethon that, not only did a CBS affiliate dump most of its
entire lineup to carry it, but another station in the same market as WPHL (WTXF) to carry the
conclusion?

...simple -- Pat Robberson, erm, Robertson bought the time on both stations. That's how these
modern-day Elmer Gantrys operate...

Here is another schedule for you to clean up, RALfan. I wonder
why posts from that time period came out looking that way.

Re: Retro Schedule:St. Louis Friday July 12 1991 Independent & FOX Station
Did the Post-Dispatch back then carry any listings for the former WCEE-13 (now WPXS) Mount
Vernon, IL (a small-town indy receivable in much of the Metro East area and in most of southern
Illinois back then)? What about KNLC-24 from St. Louis--do you have their listings for that date?

Nope..that's not a typo! In the summer of '91, NBC picked up reruns of "Full House" to air. That
fall, they hit syndication.

That should read part 8.
Welcome to the club. I've had the same problems with these smilies viz the number 8 and
closing parentheses.
This was over 5 months prior to NBC's ending its late afternoon children's block (with Howdy
Doody moving exclusively to Saturday mornings for its last four years on the network), and
WRCA-TV premiering a movie series that initially started out as Evening Theatre, but by February
1957 became Movie 4 which would remain until 1974.
Also, it was more than 10 months before WCBS-TV ended its 5 P.M. Late Matinee, moved The
Early Show to 5:30 and expanded the latter's run time to 90 minutes. The Early Show remained
at 5:30 from December 1956 until the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite expanded to 30
minutes in September 1963.
As for It Happened Tomorrow (which played on this day on WPIX's First Show) - by the end of '56
it moved over to WRCA where it remained until 1957; then returned around 1965 to what by
now was WNBC-TV, where it played on Movie 4 occasionally until the end of 1967. (In-between,
it had a second run at Channel 11, in the early '60's.)
Now . . . was The Big Box on WABD's Matinee Theatre really in color? I seem to recall Channel 5
was the last to go color on a regular basis - in 1965, as WNEW-TV, initially via film and slide
capacity, then in 1966 live color was added with Norelco PC-70's.

Where is NBC's "Matinee Theater"? Seems it should have
been on at 3 PM on Ch. 4.
I also noticed that Les Paul and Mary Ford aired on Ch. 2
at 5:55 PM. That's the first time I've seen their show airing
in a timeslot before 11 PM anywhere.

...nope, not that Rory Calhoun -- the actor was from the West Coast and was filming the
theatrical film The Looters at the time of this match...

I don't know what's more odd: airing "Kojak" in the 7 PM hour, or airing just a half-hour of
"Fame"!

It's bound to be at least a one week delay. Even if WXEL had
a kinescope recorder (and film processor on site), could it be
developed and processed for air in a half-hour?
Actually, I hadnt thought of that possibility when I originally typed the schedule..Thanks for the
clarification..

If it weren't for that WOPC, Ch. 38, WJNL/19 would have gone to ABC instead of go independent.
Also,
when exactly did Ch. 19 end its CBS affiliation and go indie?

What's the problem with "As The World Turns"? KDKA
handed it off to WPGH, while WKBN didn't carry it at all.
And this is while it was still daytime's top-rated soap!

Wow, what was with this schedule? I seem to recall reading about this station having a weak
signal (terrain being partly to blame, I'm sure). However, I never knew it had a weak schedule,
lol.

Re: Montana 8/30/1989

They were at the time...KYUS switched to relaying KULR after KOUS (which later became KHMT)
dumped the Peacock for Fox in 1993, in part of an affiliation switch that saw new channel KSVI
pick up ABC and KHMT joining Fox.

Perhaps Gunsmoke (7:30 ET) wasn't as popular in New England as in
other regions, but not running Lucy (8:30 ET) in pattern? When did
WTIC-TV air these two shows?
WBZ 4-NBC Boston
WCSH 6-NBC Portland
11:30 News
11:45 Tonight Show
At first I wondered, even though the movie ran over, why did NBC
allow only 15 minutes for late news instead of the usual 30?
Then I remembered...didn't Carson's contract stipulate that, unless
it was due to "breaking news" (term not yet invented in 1970), the
Tonight Show must begin no later than (fill in the blank)? And the
blank may have been 11:45 PM, or "before midnight." Apparently

Conan's not the only host to reject 12:05 AM. ;D
NBC probably scheduled most of its overrun movies on Saturdays,
assuming the contract wording did not apply to "best ofs."

3:30 Edge of Night (12 aired this twice on this day, What's My Line? usually aired at 1)
Would this have been a point where WPRI-TV was switching from
day behind airing of Edge to in pattern?

So, WSBK really picked up a ton of daytime network castoffs back then, huh? All appear to be in
pattern except OLTL, which must have been on a one-day tape delay. Wonder why they bothered
to tape-delay that one show, when they could have easily aired it in pattern at 3:30, and run
Divorce Court at 1:00??

WBZ's schedule reminds me a lot of WSB's in those days;
particularly with Mike Douglas at 12:30 (Merv would get
that slot on Ch. 2 in 1972) and the NBC shows being
handed off to an independent (first, WATL, then what
was then WTCG). OLTL, however, was airing in pattern
on Ch. 11 in Atlanta and would until the fall of '72 when
the station began airing the 3:30 Prize Movie, delaying
OLTL and Love, American Style to the mornings on a day-behind.
But is there an error? I notice the same NBC programs on
WBZ and WHDH (then CBS). Shouldn't Guiding Light have
been on Ch. 5 at 2:30?

No -- it was an actual syndicated game show by Chuck Barris in which contestants use their
personalities to win prizes:

Re: Retro: Indianapolis/Lafayette/Terre Haute Thurs, Jan 22, 1981
Wow, look at all of the stations that aired "Tic Tac Dough" in primetime (I know WTHI's doing so
was a matter of happenstance, what with the CBS primetime lineup airing hourlong shows that
evening)...
And speaking of CBS... Look at WISH with its 45-minute nightly newscast. Looks like they were
way ahead of their time, before they started that "11:35" thing in late night...

KSL-TV Salt Lake City was doing a 40-minute (10:00-10:40 MT) late 'cast
in the fall of 1979. It was followed by several syndicated reruns, as KSL
did not clear the CBS Late Movie. I can't get a good handle on whether
or not an indie picked it up--there's always the factor of having to delay
the program (MT).
Back to WISH-TV...could the CBS late night offerings have been a day, or
or even a week behind? Even with one-inch VTRs common in '81, it would
be a real adventure to delay 2:10 of network programming by 15 minutes.
Today with a digital delay server--no sweat.

Atlanta's Ch. 11 also did a 40-minute newscast (11-11:40 PM)
from the fall of '72 to the fall of '74, followed first by movies,
then by reruns of "The Untouchables," and finally by reruns of
"Mission: Impossible." ABC's "Wide World Of Entertainment"
aired on a one-night delay at 12:40 AM, starting (IIRC) in the
summer of '73.
As for the NBC soaps airing on a one-day delay on WTHR, I
would suspect they were. It looks like, since Indianapolis was
on Eastern Standard (or, if you prefer, Central Daylight) in the
summer, Ch. 13 wanted to keep the shows at the same time the
year 'round and avoid confusion. What would be interesting to
know is if "Another World" and "Texas" were live feeds in the summer.

WHNB-NBC: 30 West Hartford/79 Torrington (TVG listed both channels under the WHNB calls)
That's because Channel 79 was a translator for Channel 30. Calls were W79AA. Studios for 30 are
in West Hartford. COL is and always has been New Britain.

Candlepin Bowling on WHYN (later WGGB) was carried from an over-the-air feed from Channel 5
WHDH (and later WCVB) in Boston, microwaved from Mt. Tom in Holyoke, MA.

Apparently Mt. Tom is a tower farm for several Springfield market TVs/FMs,
so this downlink would be a "reverse STL" (or TSL) to the studio. Assume
at least the TVs STL stuff up to the hill.
Would the mountain be about the only place to pick up Boston TV OTA in
the metro? The WCVB-TV coverage map doesn't quite get to Springfield,
and with DTV signals getting out so far and then just "dropping off the
table," I suppose you'd need the height. Did analog have better coverage?

WNAC 7-ABC Boston
2:00 William F. Buckley Jr. "Is It Possible to Be a Good Governor?" (c/California Gov. Ronald

What was called "William F. Buckley Jr." by TV Guide (I can attest to this characterization also
being in the New York Metropolitan Edition for its airings on WOR-TV) was in fact Firing Line (full
title in those years: Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr.), which was started at WOR-TV in 1966,
aired on the other RKO stations (including, as here, WNAC-TV), and also syndicated to other
stations across the country - including a few public TV outlets, ironic given Buckley taking Firing
Line exclusively to public TV from 1971 onwards. TV Guide likely had Buckley's name as the
heading due to his being the host.

Re oldies fan's post whether the Boston stations would make it to Springfield I can say that we
lived in one of the lowest lying areas of New Britain Ct. (considerably further than Springfield)
and we got the Boston VHF's on 2,4,5,7 and Prov on 6, 10, 12. The picture quality was not
perfect but viewable. We didn't get the Boston UHF's. People who lived on east facing hills got
the Boston and Prov stations perfectly as well as stations from New Hampshire and NYC.

I don't know how WHYN-TV got the Channel 5 signal to Springfield during that period, but I can
tell you for a fact that WWLP used its own microwave relay at located the former Channel 14 site
outside of Worcester to get Boston TV signals to Springfield. The signal would be taken off the air
from Worcester and then sent on a single hop to the 22 facility on Provin Mountain in Agawam. I
had a friend, since deceased, who worked as an engineer at WWLP who would would be
frequently assigned to travel to Worcester to "babysit" the microwave relay when it was being
used. The proper operation of that microwave link was a big deal for WWLP because they used it
to relay the Red Sox game broadcasts from the old WHDH-TV to Springfield. I'm sure this setup
was much cheaper for 22 to use instead of getting a telco feed.

Cheaper, but dirtier than a Telco feed which would likely be "clean"--that is,
Red Sox network spots yes, but no local WHDH-TV spots that might pop up
before WWLP could cut away. Unless the contract called for the Boston
spots to also air in Springfield.
Also wondering how did WWLP cover a TOH ID for WHDH if it was a lower
screen font (or slide super in earlier days)? How often did a 'HDH ID get
on 22's air briefly before it was covered? And remember "gen lock"?

If memory serves me correctly, station IDs were done by audio only, with plenty of warning.
"We'll pause briefly for station ID, this is Red Sox Baseball." Screwups were rare, most of the
stations carrying the games picked them up in a similar manner, (Providence and Portland for
sure). Intros and rejoins were purposely kept loose for that reason. Also, most of the spots were
network-wide. This was before there were a lot on on air graphics, unlike today.

Some blasts from the TV evangelist past: Rex Humbard and Cecil Todd with "Revival Fires". Anita
Bryant toured with him.

Interesting that in a city as large as Indianapolis, as late as 1971 TWO of their local stations
( WTTV & WISH ) were still airing their local news in wonderful black & white. I know as late as
1975 many local stations were doing the same but they were in small markets and towns..but
Indianapolis? Got to be a typo on the part of TV News.

WAND 17-ABC/NBC Decatur
Unless channel 17 cherry-picked some NBC shows that may have been passed up by WICS/WICD,
WAND was solely an ABC affiliate in 1971 (the big switch in Springfield/Decatur/Champaign
would not occur until Labor Day 2005, when WAND and WICS/WICD swapped networks, with
WAND getting NBC and WICS/D moving to ABC).

I've heard J. Harold Smith on radio different places for a number of years..Actually liked his
preaching style. But 3 times a day?
WRIP had to fill that loooong 7-hour broadcast day somehow, and I bet they didn't have a whole
lot of paid commercials to pad out the slots on their pathetic excuse for a schedule. (Though,
with both the Stooges and Bugs on there, I'd have been watching, anyway...) The good preacher
filled 5 minutes at a time that would probably have otherwise been occupied by cheesy PSAs.

I would think "ITV" refers to "Instructional Television" -- those 15-minute programs kids see
every school day.

8 AM Captain Kangaroo (features a sketch
about a birdwatcher named Mr. Tweety)
Nowadays, they'd probably be sued by Warner Brothers for using that name. :
WWAY Ch. 3 Wilmington (ABC)
8 PM Barney Miller (ABC unveiled six new shows in
January '75; this is one of three to make it,
the others were "Baretta" and "S.W.A.T." It may
have been the beginning of ABC's move to the top.)
8:30 Karen (Karen Valentine as a Washington lobbyist--this
is one of the three that didn't make it, along with "Caribe"
and "Hot l Baltimore.")
Hot l Baltimore was a funny, quirky show that deserved better, but its controversial cast
(including two prostitutes and an elderly gay couple) was a little much for a mid-70's sitcom.

True, though fringe station WBTW in Florence served as the de facto CBS affiliate for Wilmington
until WJKA signed on in 1984. (Some cable companies also imported either WTVD Durham or
WNCT Greenville for CBS.) Wilmington was unusual in that most two-station markets back in the
day tended to affiliate with CBS and NBC, leaving ABC with a secondary affiliation and
incomplete schedule. But WWAY was ABC primary from the start. The Wilmington CBS issue
arose again for a few years starting in 1995 when WJKA jumped to Fox and became WSFX. Low-
power WILM-LP signed on in 2000 as a CBS affiliate, and to this day, Wilmington still lacks a local
full-power OTA CBS station.
9 PM CBS Movie: "The Family" (gangland drama
with Charles Bronson)
11:30 CBS Movie: "Sol Madrid" (good cast in a drama
about drug smuggling across the Mexican border,
including David McCallum, Telly Savalas, and
Ricardo Montalban)
WTVD Ch. 11 Durham (CBS)
9 PM TBA (Ch. 11 may have had issues with
CBS's movie)
11 PM News
Implying that WTVD had a problem with Mafia hitmen, but not with drug smugglers? ??? "The
Family," BTW, was the U.S. title for a 1970 Italian-produced flick titled "Citt Violenta." It was
released in the U.S. in 1973, clearly to capitalize and piggyback on the enormous success of
1972's "The Godfather." (The Mafia was all of a sudden the "in" thing.) This was blatantly
referenced in the film's U.S. tagline: "'The Godfather' gave you an offer you couldn't refuse. 'The
Family' gives you no alternative."

Actually. WBTW was NEVER on Wilmington cable, and would not have been available over the
air until possibly beginning in the early 80s when they moved to their 2000 ft tower near Dillon
SC (and then it would have still been deep fringe). Previous to that they were on a short tower in
Florence and the signal would never made it to the Wilmington area. OTOH, WTVD and WNCT
were both on Wilmington cable for many years, along with WRAL, which remained on cable even
after WJKA debuted, and remained the default CBS after WJKA switched to FOX. WRAL and
WTVD were surely microwaved to Wilmington since even with their strong signals they wouldn't
have provided a consistantly strong signal. WIlmington is actually a pretty isolated city. Cable
also provided WITN for many years, even with WECT a primary NBC. I'm sure WRAL, WTVD,
WNCT, amd WITN were all thorns in the side of WECT, WWAY, and later WJKA (WRAL going to
CBS may have been a big reason why WJKA bailed for FOX

"Party Machine with Nia Peeples" followed "Arsenio" on many of his stations. It was a half-hour
during the week, though there was an hour-long edition that aired on weekends. Thus, "Paid
Programming" should be shown at 1 AM as well as 2 AM...
And now I am reminded of the short-lived vehicle "Babes" co-starring the late Wendie Jo
Sperber, centered around three heavy-set female roommates. Think "Little People" in bizarro
world...

Just think - the Leafs were in their current Stanley Cup drought way back then.
The last time they won the Cup was before anyone in Canada was even broadcasting in colour.
Colour broadcasting began in Canada right after the 1967 Cup win.

Re: Retro: New York City Thurs, March 5, 1970
A few notes:
- The Shanghai Story (seen at 1 A.M. on WABC's late-night movie showcase, then still known as
The Best of Broadway) was one of a package of post-1948 Republic films originally premiered in
1958 on then-WRCA-TV, and relocated by 1963 to Channel 7. Other films in that package
included The Quiet Man (which I don't think went to WABC, if it did let me know), Rio Grande,
Sands of Iwo Jima (three of John Wayne's most famous films for the studio) and the Joan
Crawford proto-feminist western Johnny Guitar. The last three titles aired on The 4:30 Movie
within that show's first two years on the air.
- At 4:30, who would have won the time slot? I know The Mike Douglas Show was pullin' 'em
in . . . but how did WNBC's Movie Four fare in the ratings vis-a-vis WABC's 4:30 Movie at this
point, on average?
- Re Sesame Street on WPIX: This was in the period when the station was airing reruns of the
series (and yes, this was no typo). It was also during a very contentious license challenge filed by
Forum Communications with the FCC, and WPIX trying to prove that, yes, they were committed
to educational programming. (This would also lead, in time, to the remaining shows of "Officer"
Joe Bolton and "Captain" Jack McCarthy to leave the air and two new shows - Time for Joya
which later morphed into Joya's Fun School [both shows hosted by Joya Sherrill], and The Magic
Garden - to come on.)
- Washington Review (as TV Guide listed it) would doubtless be Washington Week in Review.
- As for Mario Lanza's last film - wouldn't that have been For the First Time, which WOR also had
title to? (WOR and WNBC, starting in 1968, split a huge package of off-network MGM films that
were originally released between 1949 and 1964. The NBC O&O got Lanza's The Great Caruso
while the indie RKO station got the rest of what was offered of his output. Meanwhile, WOR
received Elvis' Viva Las Vegas while WNBC got two other films from "The King," It Happened at
the World's Fair and Kissin' Cousins.)
- WPIX was the first (but not the last) New York station to run Phil Donahue; I counted at least
three (WOR and, of course, WNBC). Did I miss any? In any event, Donahue replaced a late night
movie series on Channel 11 called Tonight at the Movies - and by the fall, Donahue himself was
replaced by The Channel 11 Film Festival which ran at varying time slots into the 1980's.

While WPIX's Sesame Street episodes in these listings were not in sync with NET's airings, I have
read that WPIX carried the show since it debuted in November 1969 -- in the book "Street Gang"
(an interesting look at Sesame Street and the Muppets), it said that WPIX carried the show, so
that it would be more accessible to morning viewers, as CTW was unwilling to schedule the
program against Captain Kangaroo at 8AM, and WNDT was unwilling to schedule it at 9AM, due
to in-school programming.

Time for Joya and The Magic Garden? Bah -- commie mind-control kiddie pap!! Joe and Jack's
shows were very educational! Everything I know about life, I learned from their presentations of
The Three Stooges, The Little Rascals, and Popeye. And I turned out just fine. So there! <LOL>

I personally recall watching the show on WPIX in the morning and then watching it later on
WNDT during the afternoon myself.

I loved all of the shows mentioned in your post, so I don't know what that makes me then.

To quote an old advertising slogan from Barnes & Noble: "Of course, of course."
B.T.W., as to WOR's "Stock Market" listing - that was Stock Market Observer, which ran for
decades on WCIU Channel 26 in Chicago, but only lasted over a year on WOR (it debuted in
February 1969, and left the air within a few weeks or months of this date).

I know this was a syndicated program hosted by Barbara Coleman, but does anybody have any
other info about this show?
I know this was a syndicated program hosted by Barbara Coleman, but does anybody have any
other info about this show?
From what I could tell, it was a talk show that lasted only one or part of one season. After it left
the air, she started another series, Capital B, which I've never heard of. Her syndicator was one
Jack Rhodes - who later brought Second City TV (a.k.a. SCTV) to the U.S.
From what I can gather, Ms. Coleman was a Washington Journalist who worked in Robert
Kennedy's 1968 Campaign as a press aide..This show was also aired on WJAN-TV 17 in Canton,
Ohio (probably because they could afford it..) Was likely a basic "talking head" political show..

I remember seeing "Here's Barbara" on WPGH-53 in Pittsburgh around '69-70. Just out of
curiosity, I wonder if any episodes were saved or any clips are on YouTube.

Where I grew up, we got the NYC channels on cable, so I remember most of the listings here. At
that time we only had 12 channels. Cable was much better in those days.

Tout a l'heure, as is my understanding, was a local news/magazine show on CBOFT with some
live musical acts in the mix.
CFVO 30-TVA Hull
CFVO was well-known for airing late-night porno during its brief history, and it was the subject of
complaints to the CRTC - although the porn topped the ratings for its time slot in all of Ottawa-
Hull, English or French. The station eventually lost its license.

As I read, CFVO never lost its license -- it shut down in 1977 due to monetary problems. Radio-
Qubec (now Tl-Qubec) would soon buy CFVO's transmitter and license, folding the station
into its network.
Today, of course, "V" still carries porn overnights on weekends, though, due to Quebec's
progressive attitude, hardly anyone bats an eye over it.
More on CFVO at Wikipedia (take with grain of salt):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFVO-TV
Today, of course, "V" still carries porn overnights on weekends, though, due to Quebec's
progressive attitude, hardly anyone bats an eye over it.
And some of the infomercials are real doozies too- V regularly airs on weekends an infomercial
for Montreal online sex shop Sexatout (who does have a website, but I'll let you look for that )
that shills both Quebecois and dubbed American porno flicks. And if you've ever seen the crime
tabloids Allo Police and Photo Police, you'll get one heck of a lesson in female anatomy ;D
Bluenoser's right. All you have to do is go by a Montreal Metro station (like Berri-UQAM) and
Allo Police and Photo Police are there in front view that even under 18s can see it in exciting
front page color. BTW they sell out fast too.
And they're also widely available in New Brunswick as well, I've seen them at newstands in
Moncton, Campbellton and Edmundston in my travels ;D

Re: Retro:Cleveland/Akron Monday, August 10, 1953
Interesting to see Alan Freed, the legendary Moondog who gave rock and roll its name (and
made Cleveland the eventual home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) while handling nights at
WJW (AM), was also moonlighting as co-host of a midday movie on WXEL. Airchecks of his work
on WJW, as well as WINS and WABC in New York, are all over the web--did anyone ever
kinescope any of his TV hosting work?

Re: RETRO: New York City TV - Friday, Jan. 31, 1969 (Other VHF's)
9:00 Krazy Kat (C)
Hmmm...I don't recall a whole half-hour devoted solely to Krazy Kat; but then, I would normally
be in school at this hour. What I do recall is a few years earlier, when WPIX used to run a
selection of those 1960s King Features cartoons based on comic strips (including Krazy Kat,
Snuffy Smith, and Beetle Bailey) right after sign-on. Watching the sign-on and following cartoons
was a daily ritual for me as I was getting ready for school.
Krazy Kat never made it in animation without losing all the charm, surrealism, and depth of
George Herrimann's wonderful strip. The old silent era Kats had basically nothing to do with the
strip (one series even had Krazy looking like a feline Mickey Mouse) -- Herrimann was happy to
get paid for the use (or misuse) of the characters, but had zero creative input. The 60s toons,
made a couple decades after Herrimann's demise, at least made an attempt to be more faithful
to the legacy of the strip, but were still sanitized, homogenized, mass-produced fluff -- like a
McDonald's hamburger instead of prime rib.
5:30 The Munsters - "A Visit from Johann" [original airdate 3/17/66]
Johann, as I recall, being a cruder, less successful version of Herman also created by Dr.
Frankenstein. It gave Fred Gwynne, in the dual role, a chance to act more like the classic
Frankenstein monster, though still in a comedic context.

It's possible that Krazy Kat was simply the overall umbrella for WPIX's airing of those King
Features 'toons. Not unlike the "Bugs Bunny" heading used by WNEW-TV over the years
although other characters were aired under that umbrella. But then, when William F. Buckley,
Jr.'s Firing Line ran on WOR-TV from its 1966 debut until 1971, the heading TV Guide used for the
show was Buckley's name. Period.

9:00 Krazy Kat (C)
I had mentioned this to wbhist privately today myself, though I suspected what he posted above.
During the mid-'60s,there was a show called Snuffy Smith that aired on WPIX at 11 PM
weekdays. I myself recall the King Features cartoons during the early '70s weekday mornings.

That was probably the case with the King Cartoons-The whole set syndicated under one
character title. Not unlike "The New Hanna Barbera Cartoon Show" of the same
period..Titled,"Wally Gator", "Touche Turtle" Or "Lippy The Lion" if they were in stand-alone half
hours..
I bought a 600 Cartoon set a while back, which has quite a few samples of the "King Features"
Cartoons in the mix..

I saw a few of them last year myself on YouTube. In fact, my little niece got a kick out of Ignatz
constantly pelting Krazy Kat with bricks in one of the cartoons.

A few important corrections, based on looking at New York Times and Daily News listings (in
some areas TV Guide is not all that reliable):
- The title of the series at 2 P.M. on WNEW-TV at this time was Skitch Henderson's New York.
- The 11 P.M. newscast on WPIX was called - yep, you guessed it - The Eleven O'Clock News with
Lee Nelson.

My understanding is that CHEK relayed News Hour from CHAN until 1972, when it launched its

I didn't realize News Hour went that far back though.
They were at that time, the listing read [6][8] News Hour, with Cameron Bell as the 6pm anchor.

Re: Retro: Hartford/New Haven TV - Fall 1994 - Fox & WTXX
Wow, I know WTXX was going through some rough times around this time, but what financial
situation was the late WTWS going through that they had to resort to clearing Value Vision in
primetime?

Re: Retro: Hartford/New Haven TV - Fall 1994 - Fox & WTXX
Actually WTXX was not in rough times. At the time WTXX was Catholic owned with hopes to
expand Catholic programming eventually to about 8 hours a day with entertainment about 8
hour a day. The entertainment shows were provided by WVIT 30 at the time. Originally
Renaissance wanted a full time 18 hour a day LMA with WTXX and their owners only wanted to
sell about 8 hours a day to them. So WVIT stepped in and its intent was to only provide cartoons,
a newscast, some movies, and some late night shows. In 1995, WTXX did become the UPN
station but not branded UPN 20.
Home Shopping had a 3 year deal with WTXX. Counterpoint, however, did not have the financial
means to produce more Catholic programming so they opted to make the LMA with WVIT full-
time in 1996. Under that deal WVIT was programming WTXX 6 to 10 AM and 11 AM to 1 AM
daily with the daily mass and catholic shows in the 10 AM Hour.
At that point the cartoons ended in the 5 PM hour and some sitcoms and more talk shows would
be added and WTXX would now be UPN 20. In 1997, when NBC bought WVIT, the LMA would be
sold to WTIC-TV by then a Tribune station. Some of WVIT's prgramming also went to Tribune,
even some of the shows onjly running on WVIT but mostly shows bought for WTXX.
WTWS had been sold to valuvision so that was why they moved away from general
entertainment. But WTWS was actually in hared times and by 1993 was mostly barter shows.
WTVU 59 would finally sign on in 1995 and pick up some of the former shows that previously
aired on WTWS and WTXX in the 80's and early 90's. That would be the WB station.

That's interesting... I only thought LIN got rights to these shows mostly so that its new sister
station, WTVU/WBNE/WCTX, had some filler programming! I had no idea WTNH would bury
these on a Friday late night.

Re: Retro: Hartford/New Haven TV - fall 1997 - ABC - NBC - CBS
LIN mostly used the older shows for channel 59 but also used a few of them to fill time on WTNH
when they had nothing better to run. Still while these shows ran ad hoc on Channel 8 they ran
far more on Channel 59.

Re: RETRO: New York City TV - Friday, Jan. 31, 1969 (Network O&O's)
WABC-TV 7 (ABC)
And not as much of anything else -- he has damn few credits post-1980 (the demise of his
Canadian show on CTV), save for producing his wife's workout videos and making a guest
appearance on She's the Sheriff. Wonder what else he's been up to the last 30 years -- maybe
stage, or radio, or just living off Suzanne's residuals?

As for Channel 7's Prize Movie, hosted until c.1971 by Hollywood singer/actress Gloria DeHaven .
. . this was WABC's attempt at this format, following the success of Prize Movies on two other
ABC O&O's of the time, WXYZ-TV in Detroit (with Rita Bell) and WLS-TV in Chicago (with Ione
Citrin). It was also WABC's third attempt at a morning movie (after their mid-to-late 1950's
Morning Feature and 196367 Movie of the Day). Alas, it seemed WABC didn't have the success
with Prize Movie that their Detroit and Chicago sisters did, and after Ms. DeHaven left, it was
reconstituted as a host-less showcase, The Morning Movie (modified to The Movie in the
Morning after 1977).

11:15 News - Jim Hartz (C)

I've always wondered this: why did some stations break out their newscast, especially late
newscast, into seperate segments and others listed it just as "News" or the news department
monikor ("Eyewitness News with Roger Grimsby")? And when did stations (or TV Guide and/or
local television listing pamphlets) stop the practice?

Technically, TV Guide always referred to all newscasts, regardless of what title was applied by
individual stations, as "News." (The last time TV Guide's NY-Metro edition mentioned individual
anchor(s) by station was 1978; after that they had a cluster of "News" with every station running
them at a given time.) The full titles, as known, are applied here for descriptive purposes.
Likewise for movie show titles (the last time they mentioned those was around 1968, except for
the brief revival of Schaefer Award Theatre on WCBS-TV in 1970, albeit with two screenings in
that year on WNBC-TV; pre-1968, it was "([channel]) MOVIE[genre]" on the heading, with the
film's description leading off with either "Late Show:" if WCBS-TV, "Movie Four:" if WNBC-TV,
"Million Dollar Movie:" if WOR-TV, and so on; yet they didn't do this with every movie show).
I think it was around 1970 or '71 that WNBC's 11 P.M. newscast ceased to be compartmentalized
in this form by TV Guide.

Another thing: No such compartmentalization was listed for WNBC's 11 P.M. newscasts in The
New York Times.

WABC-TV 7 (ABC)
I know of two other shows he hosted: Mantrap, an early-'70s talk show similar to the '50s hit
Leave It To The Girls, with a panel of women taking on--and usually deflating the ego of--a single
male guest. I remember a pre-Lois Lane Margot Kidder as a frequent panelist on this show.
Before The Anniversary Game he hosted something called Wedding Party for a few weeks on
ABC in 1968. It was never quite clear whether this was a talk show or a game show; engaged or
newlywed couples (I don't remember which, only that it was on just before The Newlywed
Game) talked about their relationships, then played a simple game in which several prizes were
shown, both partners secretly made a choice, and if they matched they won it. This show died a
quick death against As The World Turns on CBS and Let's Make A Deal, then still on NBC.

As for Channel 7's Prize Movie, hosted until c.1971 by Hollywood singer/actress Gloria DeHaven .
. . this was WABC's attempt at this format, following the success of Prize Movies on two other
ABC O&O's of the time, WXYZ-TV in Detroit (with Rita Bell) and WLS-TV in Chicago (with Ione
Citrin). It was also WABC's third attempt at a morning movie (after their mid-to-late 1950's
Morning Feature and 196367 Movie of the Day). Alas, it seemed WABC didn't have the success
with Prize Movie that their Detroit and Chicago sisters did, and after Ms. DeHaven left, it was
reconstituted as a host-less showcase, The Morning Movie (modified to The Movie in the
Morning after 1977).
Interestingly, a non-ABC o&o, Atlanta's Ch. 11, did fairly well with the Prize Movie format; it aired
from around 1971 to 1975. For about a year or so, Linda Faye Carson, who was also the station's
weathergirl, hosted; after her husband, Georgia Tech football coach Bud Carson, was let go and
took a job with the Pittsburgh Steelers, she left the station and was replaced by former WAGA
talk-show host Don Barber. Linda's version aired at 9 AM; Don's, at 3:30 PM, putting One Life To
Live and ABC's 4 PM show--Love, American Style, $10,000 Pyramid--on a day-behind delay in the
morning (Money Maze wasn't carried in Atlanta).

shown, both partners secretly made a choice, and if they matched they won it. This show died a
quick death against As The World Turns on CBS and Let's Make A Deal, then still on NBC.
While I was around for those shows (Mantrap aired on WOR in the NYC area, FWIW), I was too
young to have cared at the time. The first time that I remember seeing Hamel was during one of
his ubiquitous Acme commercials ("Tell a friend!") sometime in the second half of the '70s.
What you say about Mantrap reminds me of my attitude about Virginia Graham's Girl Talk. My
mom used to watch that on WAVY Norfolk every day at 1 PM; I consciously avoided it when I
wasn't in school.
I might mention something about Wedding Party. The creator-producer of that show, Art Stark,
was the in-studio producer of Who Do You Trust? when Johnny Carson was host; Carson took
him with him to The Tonight Show.
I point that out for two reasons: creator-executive producer of Trust, Don Fedderson, was based
in LA (Trust originated in New York); and Trust was basically a talk show with a short quiz
attached (even less emphasis on the quiz than on You Bet Your Life). Stark apparently decided to
use the same basic format of interviews accompanied by a cursory game on Hamel's show, but
since the show lasted only thirteen weeks I guess viewers decided it was a whole lot of nothing,
even sandwiched between Dream House and The Newlywed Game.
I think I pointed out once before that The Anniversary Game was part of a plan by ABC to have
its o&os develop programs that might make it into the syndication market. That one originated
at KGO San Francisco; one that almost made it was a talk show with Ed Nelson (Dr. Michael Rossi
on Peyton Place) out of WABC; another which I think had potential was Kennedy & Co. out of
WLS. IIRC, Bob Kennedy was either considered or picked to host ABC's first early-morning show,
A.M. America, but he died in late 1974, age 37, before the network show debuted.
There's also a mention of Beat The Odds. That was an early version of Press Your Luck, produced
by Bill Carruthers; contestants could bank their winnings at any time or keep spinning and hope
"Mr. Whamie" wouldn't wipe them out. Most notable about the show is its host: Jeopardy!
announcer Johnny Gilbert.

Most CBC stations in Ontario aired a block of programming weekday mornings from OECA
(TVOntario), but TV listings purely mention OECA, no specific programming. I'm not sure if this
package aired outside Ontario.

(TVOntario), but TV listings purely mention OECA, no specific programming. I'm not sure if this
package aired outside Ontario.
Usually programs listed as "OECA" are strictly educational fare, either for in-school use, or
telecourses for adults. Later on, sometime in the mid-1970s, OECA programming seen outside
the OECA would be listed as "Ontario Schools", as it was before the OECA started; OECA's non-
instructional programing would be listed by its title.

For "Turn-On" I think you mean the series finale. ABC canceled it on Feb. 7 after numerous
complaints, especially from affiliates, about the content.
Evidently (that it was indeed the premiere and series finale all at once). But then, that's what
one gets when one submits things like this while "half past dead" (per a Band song - if you
noticed the error about who starred in Moby Dick which WOR-TV aired on this day, and the
subsequent correction).

Re: RETRO: New York City - Wednesday, Feb. 5, 1969 (Other VHF's)
A little (little!) correction: The star of Moby Dick (as shown on WOR-TV's Stella Longo Jackpot
Movie) was Gregory Peck . . . the mixup was due to a 1972 WNBC-TV Movie 4 week with films
from both Grant and Peck shown during the week, on the brain . . .

Nope. The NBA didn't get a network slot until 1953; the
NHL, 1957. No boxing on Sunday, the last network wrestling
show of the week was DuMont's from Chicago on Saturday nights,
and college basketball was not yet a national draw, AFAIK.
Same thing was true on network radio; Sunday afternoons were

largely given over to religious programs, the New York Philharmonic,
"easy-listening" music, things of that sort. The real sports
boom didn't begin until the late '60s or early '70s.
Heck, when I was growing up in the mid-'60s, ABC would have
an NBA game followed by The American Sportsman, CBS would have
the Sports Spectacular, and NBC would have Shell's Wonderful
World Of Golf. They'd all be over by 5 PM, then shows like
GE College Bowl, Ted Mack's Amateur Hour, Wild Kingdom, and
The 20th Century would take over until primetime started at 7.

I don't think there were any regular-season college-basketball games played on Sundays until the
1970's.
Back in the early days of television, it was almost impossible (due to the limited number of
channels on the coaxial cable/microwave systems being used to transmit television programs
from city-to-city) for a local TV station to feed an away game of a local sports team back to the
station's home market.
I have heard that prior to 1956, the New York Rangers and New York Knicks both televised some
home games before switching to away games. It's my also understanding that in the case of the
Rangers, periods two and three were televsied, and the Knicks, the second, third, and fourth
quarters.
I do not how many games of each team were televised each season.
The Knicks were at home that day (beating the old Rochester Royals 81-71), but the game wasn't
televised, which leads me to think that only a limited number of games of each team were
televsied that season.
Traditionally, the Rangers have played a lot of home games on Sunday nights, but according to
Shrp Sports.com, the Broadway Blueshirts were playing a rare Sunday away game in Chicago that
day/evening (they lost 4-3).
BTW, the Rangers went to the Stanley Cup Finals that year, but lost to Detroit, beaten in triple-
overtime of Game 7. I believe it was the only time the seventh game of a Stanley Cup final has
ever gone to overtime.

That Ranger team couldn't use MSG for the Cup finals because the circus ha dthe Garden
booked. Ranger "home" games in that series were held in Toronto

WATV's schedules were not included, which is strange, considering
that I have a Sunday schedule from 1949 which does include WATV.
I'll defer to the New York experts on this.

from 1949 which does include WATV. I'll defer to the New York experts on this.
I suppose The New York Times would've included WATV's Sunday schedule for this day? Perhaps
the Herald Tribune had an anti-New Jersey bias in its station lineup at the time? (It's instructive
that in Channel 13's 1958-61 run as WNTA-TV, the station's address was given by the Herald
Tribune in their Sunday TV supplement as 10 Columbus Circle in New York [the headquarters of
then-owners NTA], while TV Guide gave their address as the Mosque Theatre - a.k.a. 1020 Broad
Street - in Newark.)

2-2*-3-8 Movie "Tail Gunner Joe"
One of NBC's "Big Event" movies. Peter Boyle played Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Remember it well.
Great schedule! Thanks for posting!
That was the month the U-S went through this huge cold snap -- the "natural gas shortage" --and
our schools got their first-ever February break, because they couldn't heat the buildings. We also
watched Roots that month on a "roundie" RCA Victor color set with no vertical hold.
Channel 3:
9:00 3 Our Community
9:30 3 Movie "Charlie Chan at the Olympics" (bw) (the old "Sunday Movietime")
11:00 3 Syracuse Bowls (they used to do this live with a remote unit at local lanes, then in studio
B at their own bowling lanes they built for "Bowling for dollars")
noon 3 News & Views: Black Perspective
FOUR hours of local programming -- on a Sunday.
And this:
2-9-12 Installation Ceremony (Francis (Frank) Harrison's installment as RC Bishop of Syracuse)
I wonder how they pulled this off -- getting the signals to Utica and Binghamton. Any old timers
around who might know? Or do you think they just pulled it off air?

This is obviously before the coaxial cable was extended south
from Richmond, since there are few network shows on either
station's schedule that day. I do notice a couple of things airing
in pattern: Kukla, Fran and Ollie, followed by Roberta Quinlan's 15-
minute musical show on NBC, likewise Chevrolet Tele-Theater, but
I wonder if these are kinescopes. IIRC, the cable connection was
extended south to Greensboro, Charlotte, and Atlanta around October
1; did Birmingham get a cable connection sooner?

Re: Retro: Carolina-Tennessee Wednesday, January 9, 1980
bp, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't TVG break up the territory of Carolina-Tennessee within
the next year or so, into Charlotte and Knoxville-Chattanooga? I am sure you have answered this
question before, but according to Matt Sittel's website
(http://www.mcsittel.com/html/tv_guide.html), the Charlotte edition began no later than 1982
and the K-C edition 1981. Can't figure out, though, what edition the Tri-Cities stations (WCYB,
WJHL, and WKPT) went into, though.

The changes came with the August 2, 1980 issue, IIRC.
Carolina-Tennessee was split into Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville,
Bristol/Kingsport/Johnson City, and Knoxville/Chattanooga.
At the same time, the North Carolina edition was split into Eastern
North Carolina and Charlotte (later Central North Carolina), and the
Atlanta edition ceased to circulate in the Chattanooga market, although
Chattanooga stations were kept in as spillover.
Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville carried as spillover WBTV, WSOC,
WCCB, WRET (WCNC), and (after it signed on); WJZY/46. For several
years it also carried WSJK, WCYB, and WJHL but eventually dropped them.
Bristol/Kingsport/Johnson City had as spillover WSJK, WATE, WBIR, WTVK

(later WVLT/8), and (after it signed on) WTNZ/43; also WLOS and (later)
WYMT/57 Hazard, KY.
Knoxville/Chattanooga had Ch. 18 Chatsworth, GA as black numerals on
a white background; all the other stations were white-on-black.
To belabor the point, the Eastern North Carolina edition served Raleigh/
Durham, Greenville/New Bern/Washington, and Wilmington. Spillover came
from WFMY, WGHP, and (for a time) WXII; also WBTW and WPDE Florence, SC.
The Charlotte edition (or Central North Carolina) served Charlotte and Greensboro/
Winston-Salem/High Point. Spillover came from WFBC (WYFF), WSPA, WLOS, WRAL,
WTVD, WLFL, and (I think briefly) WRDC; also WIS Columbia, SC and WBTW and WPDE.

Didn't that TVG edition also list WAIM-TV(Ch. 40, CBS and ABC) from Anderson, SC? Where did
that station go?

It went into the G/S/A edition, although, according to Sittel's site, it did not appear in a 1980
edition, only re-surfacing some years later. It apparently didn't meet the criteria for area
coverage, perhaps, but why would it fail to do on a smaller territory than it had for a larger? One
of the myriad riddles of TVG history.
By this time, the station was an indie, WLOS in Asheville having gotten ABC to strip WAIM's
affiliation for the South Carolina counties. That may have accounted for TVG dropping it for a
time. That action by ABC left a coverage gap in the Carolina upcountry between WLOS and
Atlanta's WXIA (later WSB), which has to my knowledge never been filled in adequately in the
counties along the Georgia line. In a high irony to all of this, both WLOS and WMYA (current calls
of the former WAIM) are both owned by Sinclair.
Here's Wikipedia's article on the station's pedigree: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WMYA-TV.

WAIM left the air, IIRC, in 1979, before the Carolina/Tennessee
edition was split up. It returned in the mid-'80s as WAXA and
was, in fact, the original Fox affiliate for Greenville/Spartanburg/
Asheville (WHNS/21 picked up Fox in 1989). Channel 40 acted
as a satellite of WLOS for a time in the early '90s, then (somebody
correct me here since I left the area in 1990) was a WB and now
MyNetwork affiliate.
In the '70s I was at the University of Georgia and the local cable
company never brought in Ch. 40. At the time we had three ABC
affiliates: WXIA (before the switch), WLOS, and Augusta's WJBF.
There's a cable system that serves just the campus and it's only
been in the last couple of years that it has dropped WLOS; seems
it actually came in better than WSB, but somehow that bug got
ironed out so WSB is the sole ABC affiliate for Athens and surrounding
area, while I think places to the northeast like Hartwell and Toccoa
get WLOS.

WCPT's lineup officially wins the award for most schizophrenic, hands-down. "Hot Fudge" at 8
PM? I mean, it's a good show, but it's been banished to weekend mornings for as long as I
remember.

I need to make a correction. Charlotte's Ch. 36 was
one of the last stations to "checkerboard" 7:30 (run

Re: Retro: Fort Wayne/South Bend/Lima Sat, Feb 8, 1969
The 1968-69 season may have been the best ever for Saturday morning shows! Classics on every
network! How many people remember "Storybook Squares"? It was a kids' version of
"Hollywood Squares", with some of the "Squares" regulars appearing as Mother Goose
characters...Wonder how hard Paul Lynde fought to play Little Miss Muffet?

...I'm assuming here that the WPTA and WSJV wrestling was Dick "The Bruiser" Afflis' World
Wrestling Association (WWA) out of Indianapolis...

Don't know the name of the organization for sure, but he was on a lot, along with Baron Von
Raschke, the Valiant Brothers (Handsome Jimmy and Luscious John), Pretty Boy Bobby Heenan
(pre-Brain, obviously), and Bobo Brazil. Lots of the matches were held at the Coliseum in Fort
Wayne.

...if Afflis, Bobby Heenan and Bobo Brazil were all involved, that pretty much locks it in that it
was WWA product. Afflis and Brazil also appeared in Ed "The Sheik" Farhat's Detroit NWA
promotion (also a possibility for Michiana station coverage), but I don't recall Heenan doing so
around this time, and knowing Farhat's insistence on maintaining kayfabe even in business and
bookings meetings, I don't think Heenan would have put up with him for any length of time...

Dick The Bruiser DID work out of Indy..but it was Bob Luce out of Chicago that promoted the
Indy wrestling franchise...Luce also provided wrestlers for the Twin Cities area as well as Indy and
Chicago.
Bobo Brazil, Baron VonRashke and the "original sheik" (Ed Farhat) was part of World Wide
Sports' "Big Time Wrestling" based out of Detroit which Farhat himself owned in the late
60s/early 70s.

Re: Retro: Chicago Mon, Feb 11, 1974
A few things . . .
WMAQ 5-NBC
3:30 Mike Douglas (co-host Ray Charles/guests James Earl Jones, Tony Orlando & Dawn, Betty
Walker, and Jean Nidetch)
At one time or another, four of the five NBC O&O's (the others: WRC-TV 4 Washington, DC;
WKYC-TV 3 Cleveland, OH; and KNBC 4 Los Angeles) aired The Mike Douglas Show. The only
exception was in New York, where from 1968 to 1980 it aired on CBS-owned WCBS-TV 2.
WGN 9-Ind
2:30 What's My Line? (bw)
If the Chicago Daily News listed WML? as "(bw)," I can only assume this was in error, as WGN, to
my knowledge, only aired the 1968-75 color syndicated version of this long-running panel show.
I don't think they reran the old 1950-67 episodes as GSN did, on and off, from its 1994 launch
until 2009.
WCIU 26-Ind
3pm Harambee (bw)
Would this have been the same program as aired in color in the early 1970's on WTOP-TV 9 in
Washington, DC? Also, at what point did WCIU start airing shows in color?
WSNS 44-Ind
Obviously as syndicated; I can presume that not all NBC O&O's took this show, then hosted by
Barbara Walters (in New York it aired on originating station WNBC-TV 4).

I read somewhere that WCIU kept its own version of Soul Train going under another host, after
Don Cornelius took the show national from Hollywood in 1971 -- true or false?
at what point did WCIU start airing shows in color?
I think around 1979 -- not certain, though.

I found this article a year ago and sourced it on the show's Wikipedia entry (that is, before they
booted me).

Re: Retro: Rochester/Syracuse/Utica/Watertown Fri, Feb 11, 1977
The Donahue show airing on WOR was timely, because it
was at about that time that Gary Gilmore chose to be executed
by a firing squad.
I wonder if the Donahue show airing on WBNG was the one in
which Florynce Kennedy, a civil-rights activist, angered quite
a few viewers with her rendition of "My country 'tis of thee,
sweet land of bigotry."

I don't have any memory of Donahue until he went to WNBC. In fact, I don't recall a single
promo for The Phil Donahue Show on Channel 9 (unlike WNBC, where promos for the show were
ubiquitous).

ubiquitous).
And when he came to WNBC in 1977, it was actually his second go-round; his show previously
ran on the New York NBC O&O in 1971.
The first New York station to run Donahue, starting on or around Nov. 3, 1969, was WPIX
(Channel 11). It and another talk show (probably Barbara Coleman's Here's Barbara) replaced a
late-night movie show that had run since 1966, Tonight at the Movies; in turn, on April 6, 1970,
Donahue was replaced in the late-night slot by another movie series that would come to be
called The Channel 11 Film Festival.

I don't know which would have gotten me more excited....The Don Ho Show featuring Anson
Williams, or the Celebrity Bowling team of Dick Gauthier and Scatman Crothers! :
In general I remember 70's TV fondly, but I see a whole lotta cheese in this lineup!

I'm not shocked that I don't recall his program during the early '70s since I was just starting
school, but I was old enough to have seen Donahue on WOR by 1977. It's not as if I didn't watch
talk shows as a kid, either - I was a moderate fan of Bill Bogg's "Midday" during the '70s (I was
more of a fan during the next decade). Of course, looking at this schedule, "The Brady Bunch" or
"The Munsters" would have definitely been on in my house at 9 AM.

Do you know how long "The Channell 11 Film Festival" was on late nights starting Apr 1970,
wbhist? Until the '80s, my memories of this movie showcase was early weekday afternoons,
FWIW.

I find it hard to believe that WSYR pre-empted Days of our Lives for a B-movie between 1PM and
2:30 yet aired all the other NBC soaps!

From what I could tell, The Channel 11 Film Festival, in terms of its original late-night run, stayed
there until fall 1972, which was around the same time that WPIX began airing repeats of The
George Burns and Gracie Allen Show and The Twilight Zone, both of which were aired late at
night - and at that point 'PIX signed off around 1 A.M., after the late news with Roy Whitfield. It
was from that point that The Channel 11 Film Festival was shuttled back and forth between
afternoons and late nights.

Ah, Ed Murphy's Hollywood Matinee. It was on for many, many, years. Ed did mornings on WSYR
radio and then went out for his "liquid" lunch. He came back and they propped him up to do the
intro's and outro to the movie. I'll never forget his intro to Easy Rider..... Today's movie is the
story of two boys on an ill fated motorcycle ride.
Hmm... that would mean that "The Channel 11 Film Festival" didn't show up during the
afternoons until the fall of '72. Could have sworn it was earlier.
The other thing now that is confusing me is that I have a memory of seeing "The Twilight Zone"
circa 1970 on a weekend (the Cliff Robertson ventriloquist episode) - does that mean I saw it on
WOR then?

Channel 9 ran The Twilight Zone from the year it was first syndicated (1965) up until the 1971-72
season. (In that final season, it ran weeknights before The Late Movie.) WPIX picked it up
thereafter. Someone had noted that WOR ran 16mm prints of the series, whereas 'PIX ran the
show via 35mm prints.

I wonder how that was possible? I generally thought that, in the US, only the networks had
35mm film chains, while TV stations (and syndicators) use 16mm.

From what I understand, WPIX was a very rare exception to this rule. Remember, the original
master 35mm film of the burning yule log that was restored some years back, had been in a can
that had a label for The Honeymooners episode "A Dog's Life." (Hence the title of a TV special
about the history of that institution, The Yule Log: A Log's Life.)
But of course, the rule was indeed 16mm film at local stations, even the network O&O's. Part of
it was for tax purposes (New York, from my understanding, had a tax on any 35mm film shown
on TV, which was why the networks' movie shows originated from some outposts in New Jersey).
The other was simple economics and storage space.

From what I have read from wbhist's source (I forget his name at the moment), WPIX was able to
get 35mm prints for other television shows and also movies, too.

A Question: Was the "John Davidson Show" new episodes or repeats of his short-lives[sic] 1969
show?
A little background: In 1980 Davidson was hired by Group W to replace Mike Douglas, who was
deemed as skewing towards an older demographic than they cared for. So The John Davidson
Show would indeed be new episodes. Or at least, in a repeat cycle from the newer show. The
other clue is the length as seen on KREM: 90 minutes.

More than likely, since this was a Thursday, "The Waltons"
was a CBS episode; it was the show's last season, BTW.

A Question: Was the "John Davidson Show" new episodes or repeats of his short-lives[sic] 1969
show?
A little background: In 1980 Davidson was hired by Group W to replace Mike Douglas, who was
deemed as skewing towards an older demographic than they cared for. So The John Davidson
Show would indeed be new episodes. Or at least, in a repeat cycle from the newer show. The
other clue is the length as seen on KREM: 90 minutes.
Recently I read Mike Douglas's self-bio that was published years ago. Of course Mike goes into
details about John Davidson and how group W felt Douglas was too old. Even as recently as
when the book was published ( around 2000 ), he was still bitter about the whole thing and
showed no love towards John Davidson.
I wonder if those two ever did became friends or even spoke to each other before Mike
Douglas's death in 2006.

The Miami News breaks out the information on the movies as follows:
8:00pm (6) Tea for Two (1950) Doris Day, Gordon McRae, Eve Arden. Mildly diverting comedy
musical made long before Doris went dramatic. Based on the 1920 play No, No Nanette. Good.
8:00pm (10) Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962) Anthony Quinn, Jackie Gleason, Mickey
Rooney. What happens to a competent and honest boxer who almost reaches the top in his 17
years in the ring and is forced to quit after a match that spells the end. Very Good
8:00pm (12) Wheeler and Murdock (1972) Jack Warden, Christopher Stone, Van Johnson,
Diane Baker, Jane Powell. Seattle-based private detectives get involved with a million dollar
robbery and a syndicate murder. No rating available, Immediately followed by
The New Healers (1972) Burgess Meredith, William Windom. Adventure drama about ex-
Vietnam medics who meet strong resistance when they try to use their skills to help out in a
mountainous community which is facing a natural disaster. No rating available.
11:30 pm (4) Hawaii Five-0 (1968) Jack Lord, Nancy Kwan, Leslie Nielsen, Andrew Duggan, Lew
Ayers. Member of a special investigative unit of the Hawaii state government launches his own
investigation into the death of a close friend and discovers a connection with the deaths of other
American secret agents in Asian. Good.
At first I thought WEAT had replaced ABCs airing of Requiem with the two short moviesbut
on second blush, based on the fact both were made in 1972, Im going to say that WPLG pre-
empted them Requiem instead. Anyone know if these were failed pilots or just one-off short
stories?

The usually topical MTP six days late? By 1968 were the networks flying
tapes of their evening newscasts to HNL to run late the same night, and
if so, why not also for the political gabfest?
Malloy & Reed, along with the Ghost, were a week late (both premiered on
09/21/68). Will make the assumption the movie was also a 7 DB.
Then there's the shows KHON-TV can't even air on the same night, albeit
a week late.

Unfortunately, thats how 2, 4, and 9 (and if you want to include 11) programmed their schedules
at the time, which is why most of the network shows are placed in weird timeslots (KGMB had
"Gunsmoke" at 10:30PM on Sundays was one example). BTW 1968 was also the year that TV
Guide gave Hawaii its own edition, so don't be surprised if I find out a little more about Hawaii's
TV schedule history in the weeks and months to come.
And yes, KHON, KHVH and KGMB all aired the same day network news newscasts, but buried
them in the late night slot in 1968(Huntley/Brinkley at 10PM, Frank Reynolds and Walter
Cronkite at 12Midnight).

Prior to 1968, what other areas were lumped with Hawaii by TV Guide?

As far as I know, Hawaii had no TVG coverage at all prior to 1968 -- I would think the only
programming listings came from local papers and TV magazines.
I think Alaska would be the last state to get TVG coverage -- and that's not until the late-1990s.

From the beginning of tv in Hawaii in 1952, local tv listings were covered in the then combo
Sunday edition of the Honolulu Star Bulletin/Honolulu Advertiser. I think that was called "Aloha
Week". This continued on for many years I think into at least the late 1980s or so.
At one time the Advertiser owned KONA (now KHON) and the Star Bulletin owned KGMB.
During the early 1960's there were local tv listings in the "Aloha TV News".
Around 1967-68 another local version of the tv guide surfaced called "TV Time". I have one that
has KHVH sportscaster Al Michaels on the cover, who got his start in Honolulu. Believe this local
guide folded in 1970.
As for the odd times and days of network tv shows in Hawaii, that practice continued on for
years, a show like "Good Times" could air on a Sunday afternoon at 4:00pm. "Hawaii 5-0" was
obviously very popular in Hawaii and reruns of the show aired on KGMB well into the late 1980s,
get this during what would be known as prime time viewing!!
Our sports were tape delayed and shown during prime time well into the mid 2000's. The only
sporting event I can think of that is still always tape delayed and shown later on a consistent
basis is Sunday/Monday Night Football. I think in recent years for instance the NCAA title game
for basketball airs live during the afternoon and then is re-played during prime time.
Also because satellite costs were so tremendous to get same-day network programming on the
air, I'd say well into the earlier part of this most recent decade you had shows padded with extra
commercials to help defray the costs of the satellite feeds, so the network shows would run
anywhere from 5-10 minutes past the 10pm hour, so the news would start at 10:05, possibly
even as late as 10:15pm.

Hi AJ,
How did the Hawaiian TV stations (KGMB, KHON, KHVH and satellites) handle the fast breaking
news of both the MLK and RFK assassinations back in '68? Did all of the TV stations in the Islands
get a special satellite feed from the networks (at a very high expense) throughout the ordeals of
the assasinations and the subsequent funerals or did they go through the usual tape bicycling on
the regular airlines? I'm sure during the four days of President Kennedy's passing and funeral, it
was tough for Hawaii to see it all, back in '63. I can only imagine how tough it would have been
for the Alaskan stations at the time being so far out of the "footprint" of satellite technolgy at
the time. Any thoughts?
Aloha!

I notice KIKU ran a lot of Japanese programming, including Japanese news. Were these
rebroadcasts of
programs from Japan, or locally produced in the Japanese language?
I remember at one time WPGH in Pittsburgh used to produce a News from Italy program for
Pittsburgh's
large Italian community. It was produced in their studios with a local host who spoke Italian. He
would
use news film clips that had been provided by RAI in Italy. I remember it because it was
produced in color
but Italy had not yet adopted color TV, so all of the actual news footage was in black and white.

Believe he is correct on that, though there were some locally produced programs that I think
were FCC mandated at the time for public service purposes. Those happened to be non-
Japanese related. They had for many, many years a 5 minute newscast that aired at the top of
the hour too. KIKU became primarily a Japanese station in 1967, prior to that it was a syndicated
station, KTRG (1962-1967) that had reruns of tv shows and movies, mostly western based, also
some shows the other network stations did not run would run on this channel and a full 30
minute newscast too.

Hi Pete,
I havent talked to anyone regarding MLK coverage, I did on RFK coverage and had much of the
info written down but had a pc crash and lost the info. I seem to recall that the 10pm news was
coming on when they got the wire reports from LA (or I could be off by an hour because of the
time change), so they had to wing it with whatever they had at the moment.
Now I know some details regarding the JFK assassination, that happened early in the morning
Hawaii time, all the stations had asked the networks to send material in as soon as possible with
hopes it would be in later to help provide information. But the networks were so busy they didnt
have time to send things in so quickly for obvious reasons so the late Bob Sevey (then a
newscaster at KHVH) who recalled some of the events from those days went on camera with a
stack of wire copies and a transistor radio plugged into his era essentially ad-libbed the news.
They also used what they had which would be photos, slides, newspaper images from the past
regarding JFK to use different images accompanied with somber music, this replaced regular
programming (no commercials) for the next 72 hours. The next day Channel 4 (KHVH) decided to
pool their resources together once the tapes did come in from the mainland and they edited
everything based on what was updated as the newest and latest information at the time. The
pooling of resources also ocurred during events like the Apollo missions which ended in Hawaii
too. But any of the stations could provide updates on their own at anytime. Hope this helps
somewhat.
If anybody out there has old Honolulu newspapers with local tv listings or Hawaii related TV
Guides from the past please contact me.
Mahalo,

Did Hawaiian stations get dubs of master tapes of individual network shows or off air or off net
recordings of the network's entire feed for an evening?

I'd like to expand gr8oldies' question to ask if some network film shows
were shipped to HNL on 16mm prints, and if so, when did it evolve to
video tape only for both tape and film shows?
As to master tapes vs. recordings off the net feed (or off air)...as late as
1973 CBS (NYC and TV City originations) was still running spots separate
from the programs--i.e., not integrated into an "air tape." Additionally,
film shows were still being run off film chains, a 35mm primary and a 16mm
backup; while two VTR copies of the show ran in synch for tape programs.

My first lengthy post didnt appear so I will have to recall this again thru memory. Frustrating!
The network tv shows were brought in via matson cargo ships often a week to two weeks late
which really wasn't too much of a problem unless of course you are viewing a Christmas special
in mid-January but there was nothing you could do about it. I always thought Hawaii and Alaska
could have received those holiday themed specials well in advance because they often were
taped in late summer or early fall so the tapes would have been available if they had been thru
post production already and screened already to allow for the tapes to be released earlier. What
I dont recall exactly is what tape or film formats were sent back then, possibly kinescopes in the
earlier days. I know we no longer have the old 2 inch quad machines, if I need those taps
transferred I have to send them to Burbank.
By the late 70's to very early 80's the network evening newscasts were shown same day at a
normal hour, say 5:30pm, so you would have Cronkite, Reynolds, Chancellor, etc. come on-air
and say, "This is the XXX Evening News coming to you live via satellite"...and then the opening
voiceover's or credits would appear as norm. I do have these somewhere on tape.
Another odd thing was the network promos, instead of say Ernie Anderson doing ABC promos
for the network you would have a local DJ or tv station booth announcer tell you exactly what
day or time your show would come on the air because it wasnt going to air when the rest of the
nation was going to see it since in Hawaii nothing hardly ever aired when it did in other places
on a normal basis.

Only other Sevey I remember being in broadcasting related to Hawaii, was Cecil Seavey (spelled
differently), who I believe is now deceased. Bob Sevey was broadcasting in Hawaii from 1954-
1986, moved to Washington state aroundf 1989 and died last February.

That would have been the late Neal Seavey, but I don't know if he was of any relation.

Which five-minute daytime CBS 'cast was this, and was it same-day?
Cronkite yes, but it's hard to believe the network would fly out a tape
of just a daytime minicast for a "quick" turnaround.

Looks like Honolulu had a bunch of local children's shows like Rocketship 4 and Checkers & Pogo.
I would take it that the Romper Room seen here in the listings was a local version or perhaps the
syndicated version with Miss [fill-in-the-blank].
Also noticed that there were a bunch of new shows that were being rerun in syndication (Voyage
To The Bottom Of The Sea, Rat Patrol, I Spy, The Monroes, and Batman) but they were only
shown once a week or in the case of Batman, 5 days a week.

Hawaii had tons of locally produced kids shows from the 50's thru the 80's, but most of them
aired in the 50s and 60s and were cowboy related shows.
For information on the local Hawaii version of Romper Room is here:
http://archives.starbulletin.com/200...flashback.html
Captain/Honolulu/Rocketship 4 aired on KHVH from the late 50's to 1969, the show starred the
late Bob Smith as Sgt. Sacto.
Checkers & Pogo aired in the mornings and afternoons from 1967-1982 on KGMB, the show was
so popular there wasnt really a need to air Capt. Kangaroo, though the show did air from time to
time, but not often.

I find it interesting that KIKU-13 was airing shows that had pretty much fallen off the syndicated
map by 1968 (Jim Backus, Great Gildersleeve, Boots and Saddles, etc..)

Re: Retro: Central Florida Saturday, February 12, 1966
11:15 Movie: "East Side, West Side" (I don't think
this has any connection to George C. Scott's
1963 series)
It didn't. It was a 1949 film noir, starring Barbara Stanwyck, James Mason, Ava Gardner and Cyd
Charisse. It was one of the films in the "MGM 30/63" package that was first made available to
local TV stations in late 1962 (and premiered in the fall of 1963).

b, I was going to call you on this, but you know, you're absolutely right
(with or without the Five Man Electrical Band ).
The other B&W series (not counting movie telecasts)--Convoy--had
exited the schedule in December and the Friday 8:30/7:30 second season
was occupied by Sammy Davis, Jr., with the peacock intro.
8 PM Donna Reed
Second season moves included Donna from Thursdays 8/7 to
this slot...but where's Oozie And Harried which assumed the
7:30/6:30 Saturday slot (and aired as such in Tampa)? Did
WFTV pre-empt or make good elsewhere?
And we'll take the ninth caller (no we won't, there's no prize, and
no HVCI line ) for the question "what was Ozzie's job?" There
are two correct answers--"he didn't have one" or "it was never
revealed." I guess we sort of knew what Ward Cleaver did for
a living.

a living.
Did we? I don't think it was ever explicitly stated. AFAIK, the only clue is that Ward was an
engineer in the military during WWII, so one would have to assume he was still involved in
engineering to some degree in his later civilian life.

"Ozzie And Harriet" aired in Orlando Sundays at 6:30. However,
on Feb. 13, WFTV pre-empted it for a "Project 9" documentary

on the rising number of traffic-related deaths in Florida.
Although it was never said what Ozzie's job was, in real life he
had been a very successful bandleader and Harriet, the singer
with the band.
I know there's a "Leave It To Beaver" episode where Beaver finds
some old engineering equipment belonging to Ward, who explains
that he was in the Seabees during World War II. However, I was
always under the impression that Ward became an accountant and
that that's what his job was on the show.

Your mention of Sammy's Friday-night show reminds me that it was a
ratings disaster. The first telecast, with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard
Burton, was skewered by the critics as "pointless." Then Sammy had to
stay off his own show for three weeks due to a previous commitment to
ABC (IIRC, it was a kids' special called "Hey Cinderella! Or What's A Nice
Girl Like You Doing In A Place Like This?"). Sammy never recovered from
that unfortunate beginning.
But if you believe TV Guide, the worst was yet to come; they ranked
his syndicated talk show "Sammy And Company" (1975-77) among the
50 worst shows in TV history.
Still, I remember Sammy's annual appearances on Jerry Lewis' telethon;
love him or hate him, he was a consummate showman and I still miss
seeing him on Labor Day.

I remember "Lets go to the Races",My Mom used to get scratch off tickets from Winn Dixie that
would give the pick of the race when scratched off. I think the Races started at 6pm(at least in
1976) and My Mom's horse always seemed to finish last! :

IIRC, that show and its cheesiness, its shallowness, and its guests' mutual semi-sincere fawning
and waxing poetic over each other, was one of the inspirations for SCTV's "Sammy Maudlin
Show." (Which also, of course, had some Tonight Show elements as part of the mix, too.)

That was actually Alice In Wonderland, which ABC aired October 30, 1966. Sammy was the
"Chesire Cat" in that production..It was sponsored by Rexall Drugs and had the cartoon cast in
integrated commercials...Would love to have that intact, commercials and all..
I stand corrected; "Hey Cinderella" starred the Muppets
and aired around 1969 or '70. But why would Sammy be
off his own show for three weeks in January and February
when the special didn't air until after his show was gone?

when the special didn't air until after his show was gone?
The contractual red tape must have involved a different, earlier special.
Excerpted from Brooks & Marsh:
"An unusual situation occurred at the start of the series. Mr. Davis had a
prior commitment to do a special on ABC with the stipulation that he could
not appear on television during the three weeks preceding the special."
His NBC series premiered on Jan. 7, 1966 which he hosted, then used guest
hosts for the next three shows. Sammy would have returned on Feb. 4,
so the ABC special must have aired between Jan. 29-Feb. 3.
And just for laughs (though it didn't seem that way at the time, just a
crummy way to operate a TV station), if you were in Tucson, all these
dates were out of synch, as KVOA-TV ran Sammy Fridays at 9 PM MT
on a one-week tape delay. Could it have been worse? Sure...KVOA ran

timeslot predecessor Convoy two weeks late, and on 16mm film to boot! :

Re: RETRO: New York City TV - Friday, Jan. 31, 1969 (UHF's)
These are very interesting schedules for me -- just a few months after this, my family moved
from suburban New Joisey to Florida. I remember being quite chagrined upon moving and
finding that I could only pick up 4 stations, versus the dozen or so I got in NJ. > We wouldn't have
that many channels again until our first venture into cable a couple years later (a basic 12-
channel system, though even several of those were "filler").

True, it did seem that of the UHF's whose schedules were printed in TV Guide back then, WNYC
had the fuller schedule from sign-on to sign-off compared with the others.

4:30 Fran Carlton
Cable TV at it's "best"..well for 1979 anyway.
Fran Carlton was a very low budget exercise show with a woman in leotards doing her excerises
to organ music.Thats it !!! Believe it or not every once in awhile clips of Fran's show does end up
on You Tube though last I checked, alas..no Fran.
Dittos with that West Virginia 1978 cable production in wonderful black & white of a KISS
concert done by puppets dressed as KISS complete with small children in the audience flicking
their cigarette lighters sceaming "..ROCK IT BABY"
Still though nothing can beat "The Pennsylvania Polka Hour"..a 1973 cable TV program that was
produced by...HBO !!!
Well ya gotta start somewhere !!!

One overlooked error on KITV's schedule: "The Bible" aired at 7PM, not 9PM.

Fran Carlton was originally produced by WFTV in Orlando and seen on a few TV stations in the
southeast, such as WLCY (WTSP) in Tampa Bay and WSOC in Charlotte. Fran would eventually
expand to a nationwide audience with the launch of the Satellite Program Network (SPN).
Speaking of which, I believe Oceanic 12's schedule was mainly a mish-mash of programming
from SPN and the newly-launched ESPN, as well as some locally-produced and syndicated
material.

I read about this in an early Radio-Info thread; it was produced by a local public library. And I
believe the librarians were using the lighters -- do you think the grown-ups would allow the little
kiddies to "Flick Their Bics"?

Re: Hawaii, October 29-November 2, 1979
With the seemingly "throw it in the air and see where it lands"
pattern of prime time scheduling still being followed, it appears
shows were still being shipped to Hawaii for airing x-number of
days--if not a week or more--late.
In addition to MNF, is it safe to say that limited satellite time
was used for topical programming such as the morning yakfests
(Today, GMA) and the evening newscasts which were now at
5, 5:30 or 6 (instead of late-night)?
IIRC, this was still a couple of years before the TV nets switched
from Telco lines to sat feeds for distribution on the mainland. AT&T
had, circa 1977-78, upgraded the audio bandwidth from 5 to 15 kHz.
October 27-28, 1979, please
Coming up...
To my knowledge I don't think we had same-day network programming until the mid to late
1980s.
Where did you find the Hawaii edition of the tv guide? I'm always on the lookout for stuff like
this.
The serials department at the Hawaii State Library in Honolulu. I made copies off microfiche but
they only had the 1968 to 1981 reels. They also had a New York City Metro edition from 1953 to
1966 as well. I want to get more copies but given the time and the library's hours, not to
mention the furloughs thats been hitting the state lately, I'm going to be taking my time on what
I can post on this topic. I have to say that Hawaii's TV history does have something to offer in
terms of local programming and scheduling.
BTW I just moved to Honolulu, so thats when I got curious about Hawaii's TV past.
It was mentioned earlier that Hawaii didn't even get their own edition of TV Guide until 1968:

The September 7, 1968 issue, to be exact, along with a introduction from the publishers who
invited Hawaiians to enjoy "the world's most read magazine" (their words, in print) and had set
up local offices in Honolulu on Ala Moana Boulevard, which no long exists.

Interesting. I often am in the basement making copies of the Aloha Week edition of the
newspapers off microfiche, the quality is never any good. I'll have to look at the serials section,
thanks for the tip. Could you email me via the link located at the bottom of this story.

Retro: Mexico City Thurs, Feb 14, 1974
from TeleGuia
* and interestingly enough, given the discussion on cartoons with the last Mexican listings I
posted, two cartoon characters appeared on that week's cover...La Tortuga d'Artagnan (Touche
Turtle, the pic also shows a dog with him-what was his name?) and El Legarto Juancho (Wally
Gator)
**and TeleGuia appears to be influenced by TV Guide in a couple of ways on their listings pages,
using 70s style on the top of the listings pages, and the listings themselves look like TVG's listings
through the late 50s and the 60s

The dog with Touche Turtle was named Dum Dum, voiced
by Alan Reed (better known as the original voice of Fred
Flintstone). Bill Thompson was the voice of Touche Turtle.

IIRC, I once read that the U.S. English shows imported for cable were microwaved from Texas,
probably San Antonio, and they then picked and chose from the three network affiliates. Can
anyone confirm or deny my memory on this? I'm not even sure if the arrangement was voluntary
on the part of the U.S. stations-- for all we know, maybe they "pirated" the signals OTA from the
Mexican side of the border, then microwaved them to Mexico City.
I'm not sure on that, but Cablevision 10 sounds a lot like Mexico's America Network today, which
is owned by Televisa and broadcasts entirely in English. They air mostly CBS programs including
the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, but I believe they also have a few ABC shows. When I
was in Mexico I saw this cable channel along with another cable channel that was simulcasting
Saturday Night Live from NBC, in English.
Today basic cable in Mexico City has about four English-only channels - the two aforemented
channels, CNN International, and BBC World News. There may be another one I've forgotten
about. In other areas you usually only get CNN International and America Network.
Bluenoser - did this edition have a station repeater list? Some previous Mexico postings here
listed nationwide transmitter networks.
It did have a list of transmitter stations, with all 6 OTA channels having relays. XEW 2 had the
largest network, including border stations in Juarez and Nuecvo Laredo.
Here are the relays of Mexico DF's networked programming (after checking the issue again, it
appears that 13 didn't have any relays listed):
Canal 2
2 Atoyac, Acapulco, Cd. Altamirano, Cd. Juarez (and El Paso), Guadalajara, Huetamo
3 Coatzacoalcos, Queretaro, Edo. de Mexico, Guanajuato, Michoacan
4 Cd. Obregon, Sinaoloa, Tampico, Zamora
5 Chihuahua, Cd. Cuauhtemoc, Nayarit, Saltillo
6 Hermosillo
7 Colima, Culiacan, Chetumal, Oaxaca, Matamaros (and Lwr Rio Grande Valley), Parras,
Tapachula, Cd. Guzman
8 Aguascalientes, Orizaba, Cordoba, Las Lajas, Tuxtla Gutierrez, Zacatecas, Navojoa, Cd. Jimenez
9 Merida, Monclova, Paso de Cortes, Tejupilco
10 Concepcion del Oro, Durango, Morelia, Monterrey, Tepic, Leon
11 Cd. Victoria, Nuevo Laredo (and Laredo), Torreon
12 Campeche, Chilpancingo, Mazatlan
13 Villahermosa
Canal 4
4 Acapulco
7 Paso de Cortes, Tejupilco
10 Las Lajas, Orizaba, Cordoba
12 Huetamo
Canal 5
3 Zacatecas
5 Edo. de Mexico, Veracruz
9 San Juan del Rio, Queretaro, Celaya, Salamanca, Irapuato, Zamora

13 Aguascalientes
Canal 8
2 Veracruz, Torreon, Chihuahua
3 Puebla, Zacatecas, Parral
4 Tepic
5 Edo. de Mexico, Queretaro, Guanajuato, Hidalgo, San Luis Potosi, Michoacan, El Zamorano
6 Monterrey
7 Mazatlan, Saltillo
9 Guadalajara, Tampico
10 Hermosillo
12 Los Mochis
13 Culiacan, Cd. Victoria
Canal 11
3 Sabinas y Nueva Rosita, Benjamin Hill, Pijijiapan, Arriaga, Tonala
4 La Perla, Plomosas, Namiquipa, Cd. Maderas, Hercules, Cd. Delicias
5 Colimia, Oaxaca y Caborca, Pitiquito y Altar
6 Piedras Negras (and Del Rio)
7 Salina Cruz
9 Villahermosa, Guaymas
11 Juchitan
12 Allende, Durango, Hermosillo
13 San Cristobal, Las Casas, Comitan, Cuencame

In those days XHDF Canal 13 was basically the local station for Mexico City, hence the "DF" in the
call letters. Of course today that has evolved into Azteca 13.
Now I notice in the relay transmitter listings there are entire states mentioned - for Canal 2, for
example, Michoacan is mentioned as having a relay on Canal 3 while several cities within the
state also have relays. Did the guide actually list the state as having its own transmitter or am I
misreading something? Edo. de Mexico is also listed in a couple places. Just seems confusing...
I also notice Tijuana didn't have transmitters of any network. While XEWT/12 would've broadcast
some programs from the networks, it would appear that area of Mexico may have missed out on
a lot of network programming.
What's posted there is what TeleGuia printed in their relay lists, not sure as to where exactly the
tx listed as just the state name exactly covered, whether it was statewide or just in certain areas
of that state.

Was this a misprint, or did they really carry the show at the same time on two different stations?

Considering the equipment they used at the time (a 1950s-era transmitter the size of a transit
bus), I believe ALL programming on WQEX was black and white.
WPTT-22 Ind./Pittsburgh
7:30 Porky Pig & Friends*
Were black and white Looney Tunes available in syndication at the time? I believe these were the
badly-colored versions.

In living color, I believe.

First, how well did WPSX-TV (now WPSU-TV) channel 3 come in in Johnstown? Apparently, either
the local school board or educational group bought time on WJAC to present the programming,
or WJAC did so as a public service, to get brownie points for their license.
Also, the 9:30 show should be "Inside/Out".

WTAE had "Carol Burnett & Friends." That was a misprint.

IIRC, "Mary Tyler Moore."

That's my mistake. It is indeed "Mary Tyler Moore" at 5:30 on WIIC. Many Apologies.
I double checked the listing and the Post-Gazette's b/w indicator is beside the listing for "Gong
Show" at 5:30. Likely their misprint, and could have been intended for the 5:30 showing of
"Superman" on WPTT-22 or "Sound of Christmas" on WQEX-16.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette was still using old-fashioned Linotype machines to put the paper to
bed (and would for years to come....it was a union thing) so those typos were blown keystrokes
which were quite common.
WQEX did indeed transmit exclusively in black-and-white using the old WENS transmitter from
the early 50's. They would continue to do so until it finally
gave up the ghost sometime around 1985.
(hence the old chestnut "If the world is about to end tomorrow, just hop in your car and head to
Pittsburgh, because it will take another 20 years for them to catch up")

Two questions:
--Is there any video of the old Captioned ABC News anywhere? When I was a kid, I thought that
was extremely cool for some reason.
--They list some of WTAE's late night programs (SWAT, Starsky & Hutch) running 70 minutes. Is
that a typo? If not, why did they do that?

seem to vaguely remember, pre-1978, audio processing through 5 kHz telco.

commercials in such breaks than in the usual 60-minute slots.

I also recall the extra material they would show in lieu of commercials, such as the weather
forecast and sports -- all in text, of course.

commercials in such breaks than in the usual 60-minute slots.
As well as public service announcements, of course, especially for CBS's Late Movie (which was
similarly-formatted).
IIRC, they inserted more local breaks on late-night shows, perhaps to persuade affiliates to carry
them. I remember "Fridays" was 70 minutes.

Is there enough of a Francophone community to support Channel 3 there?
And wasn't there a station on the border (a town called Pembina, I think) that was
very controversial because it was more popular in Winnipeg than many of the local
Canadian channels and was hence grabbing all of the ad revenue?
I think "Hockey Night in Canada" followed by "Hawaii Five-O" would be just about my favorite
TV viewing on any night of the week!

Winnipeg is home to the St. Boniface neighborhood -- one of the largest Francophone
communities west of Ontario.

very controversial because it was more popular in Winnipeg than many of the local
Canadian channels and was hence grabbing all of the ad revenue?
I think this was the aforementioned KCND -- whose infrastructure became CKND after the Aspers
bought the station in 1975 and moved it to Winnipeg.

Winnipeg is home to the St. Boniface neighborhood -- one of the largest Francophone
communities west of Ontario.
Not only that, but because of the CBC's government mandate, they run French-language stations
in most provinces - even though in some regions the population could never support a privately-
owned French station. In addition to their stations in Quebec, they have one in New Brunswick
serving all of Atlantic Canada, two in Ontario, and one in each of the four western provinces.
New Brunswick and Ontario have sizable French-speaking populations, while French exists in
small pockets in most of the other provinces including St. Boniface in Manitoba.
(The guy who did the "Satellites and Their Originating Stations" section got his Manitoba CK's
confused as it claimed that CKY's relays also relayed CKX, which would be a pretty neat trick
given that Thompson and The Pas are quite a fair distance from Westman )
Definitely impossible - CBWT had satellite stations in the same communities as CKY aside from
Brandon. CBC would never have allowed a private CBC affiliate to have a transmitter in the same
community as an O&O station. There were a couple cases of multiple private CBC affiliates with
rebroadcast transmitters in the same community (Banff, AB and Haliburton, ON come to mind)
but never where an O&O station existed.

Which explains why Radio-Canada has repeaters in Prince George, Kamloops, Medicine Hat and
Brandon, while the CBC never bothered to put repeaters of its English network in these
communities after private stations there disaffiliated from the CBC (or in Brandon's case, closed
down).

Here's a short excerpt about KCND from British author Timothy Green's The Universal Eye, a
1972 book covering television around the world:
"The village of Pembina in North Dakota seems a strange place to have a powerful television
station. Only a couple of hundred people live there and the nearest American town of any size is
many miles away. But the advertisers who queue up to buy time on KCND-TV Pembina have their
eye, not on Americans, but on the half a million Canadians living just north of the border in the
city of Winnipeg. The investment pays off; the people of Winnipeg spend a fifth of their viewing
time watching the Pembina station."

Interesting. When I lived in Michigan I could get one Canadian French station at the high end of
the UHF
dial. I think very few people in Windsor or Sarnia watched it though.

That would be CBEFT, which operated on channel 78 from 1972 to 1982, thereafter moving to
channel 54.

FYI= The family on Father Knows Best was the Anderson family. If memory serves, The Stone
Family would have been The Donna Reed Show. I don't know if your tv listing was a misprint, or
if you had your families mixed up. Just wanted to pass on the info.

Thanks for the catch, Donny...I did have my families mixed up there! That's what I get for using a
source with no program descriptions

I know I've got a Freep supplement from the 70s in my collection, pretty sure I've got one or two
Detroit TVGs somewhere with listings for 11/13/24. I'll see what I can find

Off topic I'll admit, but it does seem similar to the nomenclature of a certain pioneering soul-

Re: Retro: New York City Fri, Feb 18, 1966
At a future time, I hope to fill in the blanks of the WNYC and WNJU programming via The New
York Times, but a few points:
- WCBS-TV's The Early Show moved from 5 to 4:30 on Jan. 3, 1966, after the early evening local
newscast expanded to an hour.
- Their 1 P.M. newscast would later morph into Two at One, which lasted through 1968.
- Their 6 P.M. newscast was then called The Evening Report, and their 11 P.M. newscast The Late
Report.
- The movie shown at 3:10 A.M. on Channel 2 was under The Late Late Show II umbrella.
- Prior to the sign-off was the Give Us This Day sermonette, which TV Guide did not mention
after WCBS took to a 24-hour transmission schedule (and average 23.5 hour broadcast day) in
1963. For that matter, when they signed on they had another Give Us This Day, which
commenced around 6:25 A.M.
- WTIC-TV's late afternoon movie series was called Big 3 Theatre.
- WNBC-TV's afternoon movies, of course, were branded Movie 4; since this was a Friday, their
late-night screening of The Awful Truth was under The Great Great Show banner. (Mondays
through Thursdays, until fall 1966, they used the moniker Tonight's Movie, which had previously
been used in 1958; the 1 A.M. newscast was called Tonight's News in those days, per The New
York Times.)
- At this point, Channel 4's 6 P.M. newscast was branded Sixth Hour News, had been since being
expanded to a 60-minute length on May 10, 1965; and of course at 11 P.M. it was the Eleventh
Hour News.
- After The Great Great Show and before sign-off was the daily Sermonette. By this point TV
Guide never mentioned this.
- WNEW-TV's 9 P.M. movie showcase was Movie Greats, and at 11:10 P.M. it was Hollywood's
Finest. After the sign-off news was the Call to Prayer, prior to sign-off; likewise TV Guide never
mentioned this.
- WABC-TV's morning movie show at that point was called Movie of the Day, and their late
afternoon/early evening showcase (which moved to 6 P.M. on Jan. 3, 1966, the same day WCBS's
Early Show settled at 4:30) still went by The Big Show title, as they would through October 1966
at that time slot. The film umbrella that followed The Best of Broadway was called Movies to
Stay Awake By; this title wasn't even acknowledged in The Times. They too had an
unacknowledged sermonette prior to sign-off.
- I would have thought, by 1966, that WOR-TV's late-night re-airing of Million Dollar Movie was
replaced by The Flick, which showed a different movie each night. Unless this was on the other
four nights (Monday-Thursday). Their sermonette - again, not mentioned by TV Guide, and which
followed the sign-off news - was called a Moment of Prayer.
- Their 6 P.M. newscast was anchored by longtime WOR Radio personality John Wingate.

Similiarly, in the first months of WKYC-TV 3 NBC ownership, the Name of the Newscasts by
February 1966 (Probably beginning June 1965) had been changed from Eyewitness News to
Seventh/Eleventh Hour Report with the new team of Virgil Dominic, (By December 1965) Wally
Kinnan The Weatherman and Longtime fixture Sports Director Jim Graner. ( At Channel 3 1957-
1974) The "Sermonette" program was named "Credo", held over from KYW days and used from I
think the late 1950's into the 1980's..

Wouldn't New Haven's Channel 8 have carried ABC News
at 6:45? Peter Jennings was on for 15 minutes then;

ABC's newscast didn't go to 30 until January 1967.

In checking the Times' TV listings for this day, it proved the truism of TV Guide's "Stations reserve
the right to make last-minute changes" disclaimer - as the three network-owned stations
(I.I.N.M.) preempted their late-morning lineup to carry testimony from Secretary of State Dean
Rusk at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings on the Vietnam War. (It was
contention over this that led Fred W. Friendly, only a few days earlier, to resign as CBS News
President after CBS Broadcast Group president John Schneider nixed his request for another day
of coverage, in favor of an I Love Lucy rerun.)

Interesting, as I always thought KVTV was a straight, passive satellite of KZTV in those days --
didn't know they did any local production back then. I know it was a very low-budget facility, so
I'm guessing the local devotional and news shows were done on a simple set with one camera.

3:30 Woody Woodpecker/Bugs Bunny (how does
Woody rank top billing?)
That's unfair. Take a look at what the other channels are airing at this time. I believe I counted six
stations airing "Tom & Jerry"! If anything, they would be the "cartoon du jour" at the time...
Furthermore, I think even WNEW/New York gave the red-headed termite top billing in a "Woody
& Bugs" show of their own...

Good Lord... there was still disco programming in 1980? At least stations like this one had the
right idea of parking them in the late night hours...

Other than the NYC independents, was 34 the only station that did not air a local newscast?

WNEW-TV and WPIX did do Saturday night newscasts (channel 11's was delayed because of
Yankees baseball this evening). WOR-TV didn't do news on Saturday night until a few years later.

34 preempted Wide World of Sports at 5 for a 2 hour program, "Watkins Glen Can Am Auto
Race." The 1980 race was the final race for the circuit as financial problems forced the closing of
the track in 1981. Does anyone know or remember if 34 produced this program or was it a late
transmission of the program as the race was run 3 weeks earlier? Anyone know?

I think I detect a little sarcasm; the truth is, based on the TV Guides I've read from this era,
almost every market had one channel airing "Hee Haw" on Saturday at 7 PM, and "Lawrence
Welk" at the same time on another channel...

The two shows, while probably skewing both rural and older, are hardly of similar genres. I doubt
there were a lot of people who shared a predilection for watching both "country cornpone" and
"champagne music"
There was a whole thread on the subject of Hee Haw scheduling practices that was posted on
the Classic TV board in 2006, and Welk scheduling was brought into the subject--many cases of
Midwestern (and some Southern) stations not daring to schedule the two shows opposite each
other:

Don't know for sure, but it was probably a rerun of the race. WMGC back then (or now) didn't
have the staff to pull off a 2-hour local special. They didn't even have film cameras to get local
news.

my grandfather did. he once said "the best shows on TV, and they put them on opposite each
other." I thought they were dreadful, and saturdays at 7 in my house were like a TV dead zone
for me. Now, I appreciate lawrence welk for its production values-impeccable directing and
camera work.

And don't forget the down-home production values of "Hee Haw," which still airs in reruns on
RFD-TV, I believe.

What's notable is how long KFVS largely kept to the old-style partitioning of news-sports-
weather segments. Often the same person did all three. This continued until then owner (and
founder) Oscar Hirsch sold Channel 12 to AFLAC in 1979 ... at which point the new owners put in
a more conventional 'team' newscast.
Under Hirsch, KFVS was very shoestring and spartan, but otherwise very professional (if stodgy)
in execution. WPSD-6/Paducah by far had the most 'up to date' production values in the market,
while WSIL-3 .... [insert your own jokes here]
Google News has plenty of vintage Southeast Missourian back issues on their site.

Re: Retro: Southeast Missouri, Monday, March 1, 1976
Ah, yes, I remember NewsBeat '76! Beginning in 1977, channel 6 in Paducah dropped the year
from the title of their newscasts, and simply called it NewsBeat 6, which actually made more
sense, although some of their newscasters had trouble adjusting to it for a while thereafter! ;D
They would be "NewsBeat" for another 20 years or so, before becoming "Newschannel 6"
sometime during the mid '90s.

I think Frank Gari did have a brief career as a teen idol-type singer. Wonder if the high school
basketball game was a tournament game or regular season? Also, wasn't Benny Paret the one
who died in a fight around that time?

Dick Clark may very well may have had a hand in this show. In his book "Rock, Roll, Remember"
there is a 1950's pic taken of Dick Clark in his office at Philly's WFIL-TV ( the homebase at the
time for American Bandstand ). In the pic in a clear shot one saw a letter from KAKE-TV. I assume
that letter was about "Dance Party". Now whether or not KAKE was asking for Clark's advice or
simply was it a letter asking for his support..that I have no idea.

I lived in the market from 1984-88 and was near there until '91. When did Ch. 6 and 7 move from
their alignment with KAKE to KTVH (now KWCH)? And, noticing the differences between Ch. 2
and 3's schedules, when did they start running the same lineups??

Quite a few country music shows in these listings. I guess the "Urban Cowboy" craze was still in
full swing in 1982 between such TV shows like Hee Haw and NBC airing Barbara Mandrell plus
not too mention the number of country music radio stations that were popping up around the
country in the early 80's. For example LA's 93 KHJ-AM giving up "boss radio" for country music
which brings up two big rumors going around the same time as these listings like the one where
Dick Clark was planning on doing a country version of American Bandstand for ABC. Another
rumor had NYC's WABC Radio dropping rock ( which they did two months later in April 1982 ) in
favor of....country music. Of course that never happened.

Am I the only one who thinks, looking back thirty years later, animated versions of live-action
shows like this one was a bad idea?

I can't answer that; I was usually over at CBS watching "The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show." But
I do remember in the '80s that while I liked the primetime version of "ALF," the animated version
sent
me in search of another channel.

Take the animated "Star Trek" for instance....that was a good idea, just poorly planned.

Could had been worse. ;D When CBS cancelled Alice in 1985 I seem to recall reading in TV Guide
where either Linda Lavin or Vic Tayback was actually pitching the idea of a cartoon version of
Alice to ABC. Could you imagine what THAT would had been like.
Come to think of it I seem to recall also where Nell Carter had wanted to do the same thing, a
cartoon version of Gimmie A Break since she wanted to milk the sucess of Joey Lawrence who at
the time was very popular among kids. Maybe so but I doubt an animated version of Gimmie A
Break wouldn't had been a success even with Joey Lawrence.

Looking back now I am very surprised there wasn't an animated version of The Facts of Life. If a
cartoon version of Gary Coleman can be done then one would think the same can be done also
with Blair/Natalie/Tootie/Jo/Mrs. Garrett as well since both Diff'rent Strokes & The Facts of Life
did catered to the same demographic.

I can see why that idea never panned out: could you imagine every fifth- and sixth-grader in
America gleefully saying, "Kiss my grits"?
...I doubt an animated version of Gimmie A Break wouldn't had been a success even with Joey
Lawrence.
Nor would an animated version of "Joey," either. ;D

}6:30 News-Bill Jorgenson
6:40 Weather-Big Wilson"

Two future stars of New York City broadcasting. Bill Jorgenson was the guy who made a 10 PM
prime time newscast into a winner on WNEW-TV (which in turn built the whole foundation for
what would later become Fox TV). Big Wilson spent years as part of the starting rotation of
personalities at WNBC, most of the time following Don Imus.
And as Bill Jorgenson used to say, thanks for your time this time 'till next time....

I should rephrase that:Goddard has been a Weather Forecaster the better part of 49 years in
Cleveland..
Stanislav:
I always assumed that 6:45 was the one EST feed of Huntley-Brinkley by NBC..
Al:
Paar, then Carson, had been carried by WEWS-TV 5 (ABC) from 1957 to 1965..

John"Bud" Dancy also went to "bigger and better things" when he was promoted to NBC as a
Washington correspondent in 1966, also covering world news until his retirement in 1996..
RETRO: WMAQ-TV 5 Chicago - Monday, Aug. 31, 1964
This day was particularly notable in Chicagoland TV history as it was there and then that NBC's
Chicago O&O, heretofore known as WNBQ (as it had been known since its 1949 sign-on),
adopted the current call letters of WMAQ-TV to match with its radio sisters (at 670 AM and
101.1 FM, respectively).

The 5:45 listing must have been a typo by the newspaper--Huntley-Brinkley went to a half-hour
in September 1963 (as did Cronkite), so it likely aired 5:30-6 CT on WMAQ.
I was wondering myself about that . . . even if the papers had it as you saw it.

"Murder in Bergen" was actually the Australian release title for "Let George Do It" (1940), a
"musical spy farce." Plot: By mistake, a Dinky-Doo (no idea what that is: a wartime U.K. term,
apparently) is sent on a counterspy mission to Norway just before that country is invaded by the
Nazis.
Sounds like it must have originally been an Aussie print since it carried that title. This info found
via Google Books from "Hollywood Movie Musicals" by John Howard Reid.

Thanks for the info about that . . . one of the more obscure films out there. By any title, as I've
said, I never saw this picture mentioned in the New York papers' TV listings.
I have a few plot synopses of this pic (albeit incomplete). From a 1962 Chicago Tribune:
"The death of a musician leads Scotland Yard to an enemy spy ring."
And on the 1964 showing:
"A mysterious murder takes place in a small, quiet village in England."
RETRO: WRCA/WNBC-TV 4 New York - Sunday, May 22, 1960
This day was particularly notable in New York City TV history as it was at 12 noon that NBC's New
York O&O, known since 1954 as WRCA-TV, adopted the call letters of WNBC-TV (ditto for its radio
sister stations at 660 AM and 97.1 FM, respectively, which adopted the WNBC call letters on the
exact same day).

Previously WNBC was the call sign on Channel 30 the NBC O&O station in Hartford. Calls stood
for New Britain, Connecticut (their COL). NBC then sold the station in 1959 (2 years after buying
it in 1957). Calls then became WHNB. Hartford New Britain. And then in the 70s WVIT after
Viacom bought them. WVIT became an NBC O&O in the mid 1990s. Put up for sale by the
network a couple years ago they took it off the market with no takers. Brand new HD Studios
opened last summer. The new building was built on the same lot as their original WKNB
(Kensington New Britain) building which was built in 1953 at 1422 New Britain Avenue in West
Hartford.

I am in the process of trying to find out at what point in November 1962 NBC's L.A. outlet, KRCA,
changed to KNBC. When I do so, the listings thereof will likewise be put here.
It should be pointed out that the Midnight Movie title, after the series was discontinued in
January 1965 when the network decided to air Johnny Carson repeats on Saturday nights, was
used for nightly movies on Chicago sister station WMAQ-TV from the mid-1960's to the early
'70's; it was that city's equivalent, apparently, of WNBC's The Great Great Show.

Local show that followed Howard Stern's first weekend late-night show, hosted by comedian
Mario Cantone, who I believe is making a living on Broadway, these days...
By the way, what did WPIX air at 6 AM? Or was it a special hourlong episode of "Benson"?

Not to mention airing only a half-hour of Hee Haw. Methinks this may be a misprint?

As TV Guide would say, "Stations reserve the right to make last-minute changes." Don't know if
"Tele" magazine had a similar disclaimer.

Interesting that in those days, there were sort of two TVA networks... Channels 4 (Quebec), 7
(Sherbrooke) and 8 (Trois-Rivieres) ran pretty much the same programs while Channels 10
(Montreal) and 40 (Hull-Ottawa) followed a different schedule during off-peak hours, mostly
daytimes and some weekend hours. Obviously for primetime, all the TVA stations ran the same
schedules.
The cable systems in the Montreal area kept CHLT-TV 7 on their channel line ups till maybe a
decade ago for this reason, even though TVA's flagship station CFTM 10 was right there in
Montreal. They also kept CKSH 9 on Montreal cable systems for a while, since sometimes, maybe
for a half-hour or hour in the morning or afternoon, it also ran different programming from SRC
flagship CBFT 2. Of course, 7 and 9 also had news segments focused on the Eastern Townships
during TVA and SRC news blocks, too.
Today the only network duplication is CTV's CJOH, Channel 8 in Cornwall and 13 in Ottawa. CJOH
still runs some different programs than CFCF 12 Montreal, even in prime time. And Cornwall is so
close to Montreal, maybe CJOH stays on the Montreal cable systems for that reason as well. The
only other Ottawa station the Montreal cable systems used to carry as basic, TVO 24, has been
bumped to an extra-cost tier.
Montreal cable systems still carry two PBS stations, WETK 33 Burlington VT and WCFE 57
Plattsburgh NY. But as is the case when two or more PBS stations co-exist in the same market,
they rarely run the same shows at the same time. Interesting that in Montreal and Vancouver,
the cable systems carry two PBS stations (in Vancouver, they run KCTS 9 from Seattle and WTVS
56 from Detroit) but in Toronto and in many cities in the U.S., there's only one PBS outlet on
cable. Of course, over the air, most PBS stations now have two or more digital program line-ups,
even if many cable systems don't pick up the secondary channels.

That had a lot to do with ownership of the TVA affiliates at that time. Pathonic owned Tele-4
Quebec, Tele-7 Sherbrooke, Tele-8 Trois-Rivieres, and CFER Rimouski. They ran pretty much their
own schedule as a mini-network. Tele-Metropole owned CFTM-10 Montreal and CJPM-6
Chicoutimi, and Radio-Nord owned CHOT Hull and CFEM Rouyn-Noranda. Tele-Metropole (TM)
functioned as a mini-network as well, and CHOT basically acted as a semi-satellite of TM.
Pathonic and TM merged into the modern TVA in 1991, but CHOT has continued to operate
separately under Radio-Nord (now RNC Media). CIMT in Riviere-du-Loup has always been owned
locally, and I have no idea if they followed the TM or Pathonic schedule.

Likewise CFCF was carried on cable in Ottawa, and during the 1990s CFCF and CJOH had vastly
different schedules as CJOH was owned by BBS and CFCF was owned by WIC. Today, the two
stations have almost the same schedule, and actually I'm not aware of any programming
differences in prime time anymore. The only differences I can think of are a couple local shows
on the weekend on either station.
I may be wrong on this, but at one point I thought Ottawa cable also carried CBMT from
Montreal.

This day was particularly notable in Chicagoland TV history as it was there and then that ABC's
Chicago O&O, known since 1953 as WBKB (TV), adopted the current call letters of WLS-TV to
match with its radio sisters (at 890 AM and 94.7 FM, respectively).

Re: RETRO: WLS-TV 7 Chicago - Monday, Oct. 7, 1968
The question about when WLS aired ABC Evening News becomes even more problematic when
you consider that ABC sent out the broadcast at 6 Eastern/5 Central, so WLS certainly did not air
it live. I would guess that the time was 5:30 for ABC and 6 for local, but you never know (IIRC,
both the other two O&Os aired their respective networks' newscasts at 5:30 in the 1970s).

The question about when WLS aired ABC Evening News becomes even more problematic when
you consider that ABC sent out the broadcast at 6 Eastern/5 Central, so WLS certainly did not air
it live.
ABC had three feeds, at 6/5 (known as the "practice run"), 6:30/5:30,
and 7/6. As has been discussed in the past, the 6/5 feed was so often
wrought with errors that ABC probably did it again live at 6:30 ET anyway.
The 6 ET feed was eventually dropped, with ABC moving to the CBS/NBC
M.O. of live at 6:30 ET, re-feed at 7.
I also recall that at one time ABC may have even started at 5:30 ET, but
that was probably when their 'cast was still fifteen minutes. bpatrick?

Yes, ABC did have a 5:30 ET feed even after they went to a half hour. My local affiliate
(KCRG/Cedar Rapids) first ran the half-hour at 5:15-5:45CT, still with a 15-min local news at 5:45.
I'm not sure how long it lasted, but after some months, probably less than a year, they moved
the ABC news to 6pm CT, I'm guessing when ABC dropped the early feed.
When they finally expanded their local news to a half-hour at 5:30, ABC moved to 5pm, like
many ABC affiliates at the time.

Looking at these listings I wonder if both WLS and even WNBC radio had made at least
somewhat a mention on their radio stations welcoming their "New" TV counterparts? A long
time ago on Reelradio I noticed on message on a 1968 Larry Lujack/89 WLS aircheck mentioning
about how Larry shortly around that aircheck was making a big deal on the air about WBKB
becoming WLS-TV however shortly after that message was posted, others claimed that Lujack
wouldn't had wasted time on HIS program on such things as the new WLS-TV.
Either way its a far cry today when now you even have TV stations over the years who had made
efforts to break away from their radio past as if the local radio stations who had once shared
their call letters never did existed in the first place. Buffalo's WKBW comes to mind here such as
WKBW changing the original meaning of their calls from "Well Known Bible Witness" to "We
Know Buffalo's Watching".

only two back then) managed to stay on the air and had the foresight to roll tape on it (if they
were even equipped with VTRs at the time). Anyone know if there are any surviving radio
airchecks from that day?

You are correct that at the time of the 1964 earthquake Anchorage only had two TV stations
those being channel 2 ( KENI now KTUU ) and channel 11 ( KTVA ). Yes it would be very
interesting to see how the local Anchorage stations did handle such a big quake ( 9.2 !!! ).
My guess is that being such a big quake that force alone had knocked all of the stations radio &
TV off the air. I guess there could had been a chance that Fairbanks' KTVF channel 11 perhaps
maybe they sent a signal to Anchorage's KTVA channel 11 to provide TV coverage since at the
time they were sister stations, but I don't know.
Of course even if the Anchorage stations did get knocked off the air, that is not to say that the
Anchorage stations don't have films of the quake during and its aftermath. Back in the 70's I can
remember seeing some special on PBS about the quake that showed a film of an older man
having a picnic with two small kids only to have the earthquake hit and all three of them fell into
the opening earth. I believe that film had came from one of the Anchorage TV stations.
Another film some folks had claimed seeing over the years was that of a woman who was
walking down the street in front of the local JC Penney only to get decapitated by a large sign. I
have heard it said in the past that KTUU still has that film but I have also seen past messages on
other sites from many including those at KTUU who say that NO such film exists but it still
doesn't stop others from saying that they had seen that film.
This is very similar to the West Virginia Marshall University plane crash in 1970. There are those
who to this day repeat the story where WSAZ & WOWK actually have on film and/or tape a
scene of the plane crashing down into that field. Come to think of it I am pretty sure when doing
research for the film "We Are Marshall" even actor Matthew McConaughey had made some
claim of him watching on tape that plane actually crashing. Even though both stations were
indeed at the airport on the fateful night, I believe WHTN ( WOWK ) even had a live camera
there, both stations have said over the years that they do NOT have a film of the plane actually
crashing. Like the JC Penney decapitation & KTUU-TV, maybe WSAZ & WOWK do have such films

Binghamton and neighboring edition Hazleton-Williamsport had an unusual listing format, listing

Channel 40 is listed as a NBC/CBS/ABC affiliate. This seems odd because I thought Ch 40 was
exclusive to NBC when they signed on in 1957. WNBF carried CBS/ABC until 1962 when Ch 34
signed on after which they were exclusive CBS.

Actually, an engineer at 40 told me they carried Ed Sullivan in the 50s -- though it was a CBS
show, and WNBF (WBNG) was CBS primary. I think I remember him telling it was because they
could get it live, and WNBF still couldn't.
He also told me that WICZ (then WINR) got their network signal on a "backhaul" -- that is, it
didn't come up from NYC -- but was actually part of a return loop that came from the western
part of NYS.
You also gotta give credit to WICZ for surviving as a UHF in the 1950s, in a mountainous city,
going up against an established V...Whereas two UHFs in nearby Elmira, with no competition,
(one on ch. 14, the other on ch. 24) had already failed by 1957.

TVG used the All Networks indicator for 40, but the bulk of their programming did come from
NBC.

Agree. 40's transmitter on Scrays Hill covered Bingo well but was stretch for viewers in Johnson
City out to West Endicott. WINR had to rely on translators to get coverage throughout the tier.
But from the moment they signed until the present, the 2 U's have also struggled because of
ownership. Going up against a VHF channel was enough of a challenge, but coupling that
challenge with the financial resources of Triangle and the lack of financial resources of the
Binghamton Press and Al Anschrome as owners of 40 and 34 really set the footprint that exists
even today. IMHO, 40 and 34 really really under served (and still does) this TV market compared
to markets of similar size.

I recall WTOG in Tampa Bay (then a Hubbard station) carrying this as well around this time. I also
recalled WFGX in Fort Walton Beach also having it in their schedule around 1985 (though I didn't
think any other American program carried the show by then).

Strange, that my (8th) edition of Brooks & Marsh doesn't list
Future Cop. It appears it was on ABC at 8/7, and this is yet
another instance of a station (WMAL-TV) getting a show fed
to them in advance in order to air it before the network time.
Here it appears to be a one-time only (TV speak: "OTO") deal
due to the college basketball game at 8:30. I wonder if they
made good Starsky & Hutch during non-network time Sunday?

Re USF @ ND:
1) My father (who played HS and small college hoops) and I watched USF/ND on KYW-3 at my
cousin's in suburban Wilmington, DE. Marv Albert may have done pxp.
2) IIRC Big Bill Russell played for USF in the '50s before becoming a Celtic.
3) Also IIRC the Irish upset the previously undefeated Dons in USF's regular season finale, just as
3 years earlier ND ended UCLA's 73(?)-game winning streak when the Bruins came to South
Bend.

(Irish on my mother's side, and who drove through UCLA's campus on my 1981 Cali trip [but
went nowhere near USF, or Cal, or Stanford, when I visited SF a few days later])

Oh yes Dolly Parton's 70's variety show. Even though the host was Dolly Parton "Dolly" was
actually more of a pop music show than it was country since most of her guest stars were in that
field of music such as Wild Cherry ( Play That Funky Music ), KC & The Sunshine Band and the
disco band Chic. Something tells me that the Jacksons ( including Michael ) had appeared on this
show but I am not totally sure on that.
Back in the 70's the big rumor going I can remember going around school ( same at other
schools too at the time ) was that Hall & Oates was gay. As the rumor goes just before they sang
Rich Girl, on TV Daryl Hall leans over to light John Oates' cigar only to have John inhale and blow
the smoke into Daryl's mouth. I also remember some kids were saying that after the cigar both
guys had mouthed the words to each other on camera "I Love You". The show where this scene
was supposed to had taken place on...DOLLY !!! Of course later on the same kids who had told
this story denied ever telling it in the first place, much like the one story going around the
playground circuit back then about Mikey from those Life cereal ads and how he was killed by
putting pop rocks in his can of Coke. One minute "..did you hear ?" the next "...I never said
THAT !!" Oh yeah..yet another TV urban legend.
I seem to remember Hall & Oates talking about this rumor on VH1 several years ago but to date
no word from "Mikey". ;D

I think many critics rank Dolly's '70s syndicated show superior
to her '80s ABC show; there's one episode where she's joined
by Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris that's considered a
near-classic--just the three of them singing, no gimmicks.

Re "King Of Kensington": WAGA ran that show on Sunday nights.
Although a sister station to WTTG now (both are Fox o&os), it
was owned by Storer in 1977. IIRC, it aired at 10 PM, pre-empting
"Delvecchio," but I don't remember what aired at 10:30.

I remember that eclipse and the associated hoopla well. We were still living in New Jersey, just
weeks (maybe even just days) before moving to Florida. The path of totality ran right up the
Eastern seaboard, but we were a little too far out of the path for it to be a major spectacular. Just
some gloomy dimness, no more so than if a dark cloud had passed in front of the sun for a
minute or two. (You can see the path here -- note that it pretty much stayed offshore once it
passed the Norfolk area, except for slightly brushing over the fringes of Cape Cod and just
missing Newfoundland.)

Yes...the Houston edition stopped carrying listings from adjoining markets sometime in the late
70s.

The Late Show With Joan Rivers had been on for about 5 months at that point as Fox's only
networked show, but Fox would not enter prime-time for another month with the debut of
Married...with Children. Many people in the industry were dubious of Fox's chances for success
since other previous attempts to launch "fourth networks" had failed. Though Rivers' show had
already survived more than twice as long as the ill-fated Las Vegas Show on the Overmyer
Network/United Network in 1967, I'm willing to bet that TVG and other sources refrained from
formally identifying Fox affiliates as such until they had established a successful beachhead in
prime-time.

When Joan Rivers' show began in the fall of 1986, TV Guide in the Washington-Baltimore edition
listed WBFF & WTTG as being "FBC" as in Fox Broadcasting Company.
Maybe this was done in just a few markets because I can remember seeing some Pennsylvania
editions where "FBC" wasn't listed though Joan's show did air in the market, such as York's
WPMT.
Anyway few weeks later later the "FBC" was dropped so WBFF & WTTG went back as far a being
independents were concerned..at least to TV Guide. Once Married..with Children & Tracy Ullman
had their debut in the spring of 87, both stations were listed as "FOX"...as was York's WPMT.

In the late-1970s, the Houston metro area got its own TVG, which featured only the Houston
channels. As far as I know, no Houston channels (at the time of the split) were dropped from the
SETX edition.

That's not quite how I remember it... Here in Boston, neither ch. 25 nor ch. 64 were listed as Fox
at all until the debut of the Sunday night primetime programming in April 1987. They were listed
as Independent right up until the week before, all the while they were carrying the "Late Show."
Starting with that first week of primetime programming, TVG started listing them as FBC, and
during the first week had a programming note somewhere in the listings explaining that there
was a new network called FBC or the Fox Broadcasting Company. Within a few weeks, they
switched from listing the affiliation as FBC to listing it as Fox.
When Joan Rivers' show began in the fall of 1986, TV Guide in the Washington-Baltimore edition
listed WBFF & WTTG as being "FBC" as in Fox Broadcasting Company.
Maybe this was done in just a few markets because I can remember seeing some Pennsylvania
editions where "FBC" wasn't listed though Joan's show did air in the market, such as York's

Same with WPGH in Pittsburgh. I have a creaky old VHS tape of an early Married with Children
where the station ID's are for WPGH-TV and not "Fox 53"
Only the former Metromedia stations used the "Fox" branding from the beginning.
I don't recall Diane Sawyer anchoring the early CBS Morning News cast in '87. She must have
been full-time at 60 Minutes by this time. Also, Rolland Smith should have been the co-anchor
on the Morning Program; Harry Smith didn't come onboard until it became CBS This Morning
later in the year.

I remember TV Guide identifying Fox affiliates as FBC for a
couple of weeks or so when Fox began its Sunday-night lineup
("21 Jump Street," "Married With Children," etc.) in the spring
of 1987. I guess they figured no one knew what FBC was, and
besides, Fox has never identified itself as anything but Fox. In
short order, Fox stations were identified as Fox.
And no, Houston stations were not dropped from the Southeast
Texas edition; those listings I posted were from the Southeast
Texas edition. The Houston edition was like the Dallas/Ft. Worth
one; both served their respective metro areas, but the Southeast
Texas and North Texas editions (with Houston and DFW listings,
respectively, included) served the rest of their DMAs. So North
Texas not only included DFW listings, but also Waco, Wichita Falls,
Abilene/Sweetwater, Tyler, San Angelo, and Ada/Ardmore, OK.
Southeast Texas, as I've already mentioned, included Houston, Beaumont,
Lafayette, Lake Charles, Bryan, and Lufkin.
The Canadian "TV Guide" also used "FBC" for Fox following the launch, but unlike the US version,
the Canadian TVG continued to use "FBC" into the early-1990s.
Correct on both counts. It was Forrest Sawyer who co-anchored the CBS Morning News with
Faith Daniels, and it was Rolland Smith who co-hosted The Morning Program with Mariette
Hartley; "The Encyclopedia of Daytime Television" by Wesley Hyatt has a picture of the Morning
Program cast, which includes a pre-"Full House" Bob Saget. That's what I get for relying too
much on TV Guide's use of last names only. Thanks for straightening me out.

I see WCVB pre-empted "Going Places," despite the fact WFXT was already airing reruns of the
show at this point. If you ask me, they should have pre-empted the show before it.

I wonder if for that day TBS considered going to NBC to see about airing the October 1982 SNL
"Focus on Film" skit with guest host Ron Howard and Eddie Murphy as Raheem Abdul
Mohammed (see transcript link below)? (This skit made "Opie Cunningham" a household
name) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Re: Retro: New York City Wed, Mar 4, 1970

WCBS 2-CBS New York
1:10 Movie "Touch of Evil"
3:05 Music "The Merry Widow" (c)
The former shown under The Late Show banner, the latter on The Late Late Show.
WNBC 4-NBC New York
4:30 Movie "I'd Rather Be Rich" (c)
1:15 Movie "Green Fire" (c)
The former of course, was run on Movie Four; the latter, on The Great Great Show.
WNEW 5-Ind New York
9:00 Movie "Jinx Money"
11:30 Movie "The Enforcer"
The morning movie shown at 9 A.M. was evidently Eastside Comedy, while the movie at 11:30
P.M. was - surprise, surprise - The 11:30 Movie.
WABC 7-ABC New York
9:00 Movie "The Glass Menagerie"
1:00 Movie "Voyage to Danger" (c)
The morning movie showing was Prize Movie with Gloria DeHaven (hosted by a former star of
Hollywood musicals); the film shown after Cavett was under The Best of Broadway.

WOR 9-Ind New York
12:30 Stock Market (c)
4:30 Movie "Guilty of Treason"
11:30 Movie "The Ride to Hangman's Tree" (c)
"Stock Market" was Stock Market Observer, which ran for some three decades on WCIU Channel
26 in Chicago - but only over a year on WOR. I'm not sure what movie umbrella was aired at 4:30
as of this date (at one point earlier in the year, Mad Mad Movie was run in that time slot), but at
11:30 their showcase was The Late Movie.
Actually, these were Rocky and Bullwinkle - but to my knowledge, WPIX aired the cartoons under
the Rocky and His Friends banner.

That was the 1st season Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons that aired on ABC in 1959, which had a
circus parade opening.
When the show moved to NBC, the show was renamed to "Bullwinkle", with the mnarquee
lights open.

And at this point in TV history, the post-1961 Bullwinkle Show was still being shown on ABC
(meaning, in New York, on WABC) on Sunday mornings.

I thought all WNYE programming was still black and white at the time? I recall seeing in a 1972
NYC TVG that WNYE's telecast of "The Electric Company" was B&W.

I have another TV Guide from three weeks after this date - and they had Sesame Street running
in color on Channel 25 there too. But it could be another of TV Guide's errors that they
committed over the years, for all I know (i.e. claiming that Channel 9's sign-on news as of 1977
was B&W when in fact it was color). Notice I mentioned that WLIW (which wasn't in TV Guide's
listings until a few months after this) showed the series in B&W.

The answer: The miracle of videotape . . .
I don't know if this was mentioned in TV Guide (certainly was in The Times), but in the middle of
Della, Channel 9 aired a program around 3:20 called Stock Market Final.

Just so you guys know, the Sesame Street episode (#83) that aired that day was actually shown
as part of Noggin's "Sesame Street Unpaved" series that aired on the channel when it first came
on back in 1999.
The female guest on "Hee Haw" was named Wanda Jackson.
She was fairly popular in country-music circles in the '60s;
don't know what became of her.

Apparently for good reason -- it guested Burt Lancaster and James Earl Jones.

Search For Tomorrow aired on WTVF at 11:30 am.
Young & Restless didn't go to an hour until February of 1980.
Either Tim or the Bowling Green paper just forgot to include Search.

Thanks Highwayman128 for your continued publishing of the retro schedules!
To answer your question, I would guess that WBZ inserted their own news as "Who, What or
Where Game" is delayed from the previous day at 12:30. WBZ aired news breaks during "Today"
so I wouldn't see why they wouldn't do the same here.

Had to be local; by 1973 NBC had only one five-minute
newscast outside the "Today" show, and that was at 12:55.
I hardly think WBZ would have day-old national news.
Some stations didn't even go that far. In the '70s WJBK
Detroit (CBS then) had "The Young And The Restless" at 11:30
AM instead of noon, local news at noon, and "Love Of Life"
at 1 PM instead of 11:30. "Love Of Life" aired on CBS 11:30-
11:55, followed by five minutes of news with Douglas Edwards.
WJBK, with 1:25-1:30 to fill, did so with local news rather
than delay Edwards all of 90 minutes!Edited by bpatrick on

Re: Retro: Chicago Sat, Mar 8, 1975
WBBM 2-CBS
8:30 Partridge Family (animated)
Should be "Partridge Family: 2200 AD", in which the Partridges find themselves about 230 years
into the future, though without Shirley Jones or David Cassidy.
1:30 Soul Train (guests Lou Rawls, the Main Ingredient, and Gloria Scott)
When did Don Cornelius's "Soul Train" move to WGN?

WLS 7-ABC
7:00 Yogi's Friend
Should this be "Yogi's Gang"?
WCIU 26-Ind
3:00 Soul Train
This, I think, is the original Chicago version, which continued after the Don Cornelius version
moved to Hollywood.
WSNS 44-Ind (TVG ads referred to the station as "Chicago's Television SportsCenter")
I would think they're the producers of the game -- WSNS was co-owned by Harriscope
Broadcasting and Essaness Theaters at the time.

Olympic must have been the production company, although I always thought that the Bulls and
Sox games on 44 were produced in-house.
WSNS was owned by Harriscope and Essaness Television Corporation (50% each) at that time.
Interesting that TVG didn't list WCAE Ch. 50 (PBS) St. Johns, IN at the time. They had been on the
air since 1967, were Indiana's first PBS station, and were listed from 1976 until their 1984 signoff.
That license is now WYIN Ch. 56 Gary.

Didn't TVG list WCAE in their Northern Illinois Edition?

I recall WCAE was listed in the Chicago edition but I'm not sure when they started to list it. I
know definately it was in there by 1976.

Now that I think about it, I believe TVG started listing WCAE in May '76, when WCFC Channel 38
came on the air. I think TVG started listing both at the same time.

I take it this edition had no "subscription television" listing for these channels, unlike the other

5 AM News
I have to ask...a thirty-minute newscast at 5 AM on a Sunday?
Could it be a replay of the Saturday 10 PM 'cast? If not,
was it really a live studio anchored, full crewed production?
If it was just a booth announcer reading wire copy over a
slide, that in itself would be a herculean effort. Unless it was
Mayor LaGuardia deja vu all over again (thanks, Yogi!), but in
this case where the announcer read through as much of the
Dallas Times-Herald* as could be fit into 28:55.
*: Obviously it wouldn't be the Dallas Morning News, and no way
in he** would it be that...that...Fort Worth paper!

Ch. 4 repeated its Saturday 10 PM newscast at
2:30 AM Sunday, so I don't know what the 5 AM
newscast might have been (I was no longer living
in Dallas).
There are stranger things, mostly on Ch. 21.
They carried Lawrence Welk at 2:45 Sunday morning,
and cartoons at 4:45 Sunday morning.

Were these two different shows?
Even odder is the midnight sign-off time for an independent in a major market. (Yes, I know

What is even odder...is that it is KTVT signing off...then again, I grew up with KTVT already 24 hrs
by the mid 80s.
Anyone got a Saturday 3/5/83 schedule?

When I visited the U.P. just a couple of years later, I had access to three (and only three)
channels.
WNMU - 13, the PBS station from Northern Michigan University
WJMN - 3, the ABC repeater out of Escanaba
WLUC - 6, out of Marquette, was actually juggling shows from CBS, NBC and FOX
(plus a college football game from ABC) on one channel. Pre-empted and less popular
network shows were being time-shifted to the wee hours of the morning.
Since then I understand Marquette has added some stations and this is no
longer necessary. But it was a nice little taste of 1950's Freeze Television
in 1993.

Also quite interesting that Channel 6 in Marquette is running Jesse Jackson at midnight here.
(wasn't there a Major League Baseball player who got into trouble a few years ago for pointing
out that "you don't find any Brothers hanging around up there on the U.P. of Michigan"?)

"Carrascolendas" must be the program talked about in "The S from Hell" thread that had the PBS
logo at the end, as it was primarily a PBS program, broadcast by KTRK to make good with the
FCC.
Though I find it funny that not only they aired this children's program at such an early hour, but
they aired it BEFORE the sermonette, which came between two Latin-American-oriented
programs, ''Carrascolendas" and "Viva Houston".

12:30 Viva Houston
This was American Bandstand's last season on ABC before moving to syndication -- however, I
thought the move was due to the fact that ABC wanted the show to be trimmed to a half-hour,
and not already cut back?

Re: The Doral Open on KHOU...
This was another example of how cigarettes were still able to "advertise" on American TV long
after that 1971 ban against TV cigarette ads. Doral was/is one of those cheap cigarettes, had
totally forgot they were into golf.
It was around this time Marlboro was sponsoring horse racing and many of those races ended up
on CBS. Likewise with tennis with Virginia Slims & Benson and Hedges and of course you had
NASCAR's Winston Cup. KOOL & Salem were into jazz concerts and many of those concerts were
on PBS plus not too mention the many of televised baseball games, in the backgroud there was
usually a giant billboard ( always in camera view ) of either Marlboro, Winston or Newport.
About a year or two later I believe Camel became a major sponsor of rock concerts and
skateboard champonships and it was around this time they brought out "Joe Camel" which of
course a number of years later would led to the so-called second ban on TV cigarette advertising
involving sporting events and concerts.
Several years ago Tbe Simpsons actually turned all of this into a joke when Homer put up the
cash to have Lisa in a beauty contest for little girls which was sponsored by...Laramie "High Tars"
Cigarettes.

Doral is the country club where the tournament was played;

I don't recall any connection to Doral cigarettes.
Re "Stop Smoking" and "Make Your Dreams Come True": I
would assume these were infomercials; TV Guide did not, at
the time, label them as such.
And "Meditations" aired at 5:25 AM seven days a week on
Ch. 13.

or even Gaylord owned the channel.[/quote]
KCEN in Waco also carried CMT OTA back in the mid 1980s. And of course, this was back when
CMT was nothing but country music videos.

Are you sure about
>>1:30 NBC News Overnight (Linda Ellerbee/Bill Schechner)
(to 6)
I'm pretty sure that was just an hour-long broadcast, although I don't know what channel 5 did
from 2:30-6. A few years later, the newscast NBC Nightside (not NBC NEWS Nightside) did run for
several hours.
Also I was surprised to see Nightline at 10:30 on channel 8. When did Entertainment Tonight
start running at 10:30?

KXAS Ch. 5 (NBC)
3:30 Hot Hero Sandwich (pre-empts "Perry Mason")
Wasn't "Hot Hero Sandwich" seen on Saturday mornings on NBC around this time? By what I
read, I recall this being a hybrid variety series and talk show for teenagers, kind of what like
"Livewire" was on Nickelodeon. (Only guessing, as I never saw the show.)
Nevertheless, it looked like "Hot Hero Sandwich" was an occasional afternoon special, just like
NBC's "Special Treats" (an Afterschool Special clone) and the later "Main Street" with Bryant
Gumbel (another talk series for teens, with music videos).

I recall "NBC News Overnight" being an all-night program -- in 1982, while staying up all night to
witness a lunar eclipse, I caught the program on Orlando's NBC affiliate, WESH, which carried the
show until local programs began later that morning. My own local NBC affiliate, WXFL (WFLA),
carried a feed of a new all-news channel during the late-night hours called "CNN2" (now HLN).

I think I am wrong about "Overnight"; I think it was
an hour-long program; in that case, Ch. 5 would have
signed off at 2:30. (Brooks and Marsh confirm that

it was an hour program.) "Nightside," OTOH, did run
all night; I remember WXIA running it from about
3:30 to 5:30 AM.
The episode of "Hot Hero Sandwich" had originally
aired in 1979; among the guests were Pam Dawber
and Robert Guillaume.
I'm not sure when Ch. 8 began running "ET" at 10:30,
since I haven't lived in the Metroplex since 1979. I
do know it airs at 6:30 on Ch. 8 at present, and that
"Nightline" is back at 10:35.

VEU programming.
Did the DFW TVG list either one? By then, some TVG editions listed subscription TV services
separately, where they're available. For example, the Detroit edition listed On-TV and IT,
separate from its carriers, WXON and WIHT, respectively. I think the New York City and Los
Angeles editions had similar listings.

Overnight was just a 30 minute program from what I can recall
As for ET, I believe it switched during the 84-85 season

Thanks for posting these listings, but I don't think it's necessary, when posting listings prior to
1986, that when "Dennis The Menace" is listed, that it's the live-action Jay North sitcom, as the
animated show had not yet existed. ;D

The Flint-Lansing edition of TV Guide had both WXON-TV and WIHT,but no, no listings for ON-TV
or IT, ON's signal reached into parts of both Flint and also Jackson. And IT's stretched as far as
Marshall, east of Battle Creek and Hillsdale. And both IT and ON reached Toledo.

WFAA Ch. 8 (ABC)
And not a day behind!
But nowadays...
C'mon ABC, you're dark from 12-1 ET/11-12 CT, how much can it cost you
to do a second feed of AMC then, so those CT affils that want a noon news
don't have to be a day behind on the soap. If CBS can split-feed Y&R,
why can't you do the same? :
Well,
KXAS Ch. 5 (NBC)
It would have to have been after Ch.5 gave up on ET starting (I think) in the 1983-1984 season.
They went for the first season of syndie Wheel of Fortune, and when they did, they gave up on
ET and Ch.8 then got it. Then Ch.5 (IIRR) only kept Wheel for a year and Ch.8 snapped it up. With
Wheel being on at 6:30p, they had to air ET later on Ch.8, and that had to be when the 10:30(or :
35) airings started.

The animated Dennis the Menace series started in the spring of 1987. At least, that is when we
first got it here in New York, because it replaced Inspector Gadget rather abruptly on the Fox
station.

From what I could gather, it was Alfred Hitchcock Presents that aired in the Sunday at 9:30 PM
time slot on CBS in those days. But the only "Twilight Zone" I could gather was a Westinghouse
Desilu Playhouse episode called "The Time Element," written by Rod Serling, which ultimately
led to the writing of the pilot episode of the eventual Twilight Zone series.

Corky and WBHist:
Thanks for catching that..It was Alfred Hitchcock Presents..I was thinking Twilight Zone for some
reason and wrote that on my blog yesterday, which is where I copied and pasted the schedule
from..At least I can correct the blog post, if not here..

"Informed Source (local show; Leonard Markert Jr. former Republican county vice-chairman,

Couple sidebars on this; first, Leonard Markert Jr., who just passed away at the beginning of this
year, was exhonerated, regained his reputation and spent the rest of his life as a respected
businessman and community leader. But his own reputation, as good as it was, was
overshadowed in the community by the regional renown of his younger brother--longtime
WHEN(AM) morning man Phil Markert, one of Central New York's most durable and popular
radio personalities of recent years.

But the operators are still very much involved in broadcasting. Even though the statue of

Slightly different prime from the PHX market (KVOA had its own
Telco line, unlike KGUN/KOLD which were fed via microwave from
KTVK/KOOL).
The only prime "live net" was Dragnet. While I can't speak for this
(67-68) season, I know during the previous two seasons KVOA had
numerous one-week tape delays. Dan'l and Dino here were likely a
week old (one-hour delays were impossible for ch. 4); while Ironside
could...could...have been same night but I'd bet otherwise.
Carson (10:15-11) was the last 45 minutes of the show, JIPped.
Never got to see Johnny's monologue in Tucson for much of the '60s.
Two TK-42s showed up sometime in 1967, IIRC.
KGUN channel 9 ( ABC )......
5:00 Big News
"Big News" was used by KOOL and KOLD. KGUN in this era was
probably "Panorama 9." IIRC, ch. 9 was still using B&W studio
cameras--color didn't kick in until the '68 election in November.
GE PE-250s probably. KGUN did have the first color film chain
in Tucson however, and rather early on.
KOLD channel 13 ( CBS )....
10:00 Big News
"Big News" was used at 6 PM only; 10:00 was "Niteline News."
Same titles as KOOL, but they were Tucson local shows.
One TK-41 for local live color plus (Dumont?) B&Ws.

How did they cover it? Did they get live shots from the airport? How did they fill all that time?
How long did the coverage go that night?

Just before the start of the filming of "We Are Marshall", I was listening to the Hoppy Kercheval
West Virginia Talkline radio program and they interviewed a group of people who lived in
Huntington at the time of the crash. One woman was at a theatre when the crash happened only
to jump up and run outside ( this was in the movie ). Several of the guests made the claim that
within minutes of the plane crash it seemed just about everyone in Huntington was going to the
crash site and/or the airport. This could explain the actions of WSAZ, WCHS and WHTN
( WOWK ).
Local TV coverage of the crash was brought up on the program since a member of the WHTN
sports department was on board the plane. According to what I heard on Talkline, WSAZ had
allowed Andy Williams ( likewise with WCHS with Mission Impossible ) to air in full and afterward
some announcer took to their airwaves to tell the very few number of viewers what had
happened and then WSAZ & WCHS both would go off the air for the night out of respect for the
victims and families. However a caller to Talkline did make a mention that WCHS had carried the
audio from their sister radio station for several minutes and a shot of the Marshall University
logo before they too would sign off for the evening.
WHTN channel 13....in the movie the scene where Bob Eubanks was on the Newlywed Game on
ABC when WHTN would flash a bulletin on the bottom of the screen with news on the plane
crash. According to Talkline, about 5 minutes after that bulletin WHTN would "turn off" the
Newlywed Game and for several minutes did coverage of the crash but like the others after
showing the Marshall logo they would be off the air by 9:30 at the latest.
Being such a small market as the Charleston-Huntington is and knowing that they will have just
about zero viewers and considering that everyone in the area had already knew what had
happened, I can see WSAZ & WHTN simply telling their employees to turn off the transmitter,
lock the door and go home for the night. WCHS being a Charleston station may be a bit of a
surprise though but then again they were the market's CBS affiliate at the time anyway.

Boy, how times have changed, huh? Can you imagine, in this day and age, any station with a local
news operation, in ANY market, no matter how small, actually leaving the air instead of covering
a story of that magnitude?
I wonder, in that situation, whether the decision to go off-air was arrived at independently by
each station, or if it was a mutual agreement, preceded by phone calls between them?

Had the Marshall University airplane crashed happened today, Stanislav, you are right. Nobody
would go off the air. I can think of two reasons why. Technology and competition..lots of it now,
not so much in 1970, even less in West Virginia. Plus being a small market I have doubts WSAZ,
WCHS and WHTN had much in the way of the number of employees to had been able to do a
marathon-live coverage of the crash into the night. Also Marshall University at the time ( kinda
still is now ) is not very well known from outside West Virginia and the surrounding states so to
expect lots of coverage from the big three networks of the time, highly unlikely.
I wonder, in that situation, whether the decision to go off-air was arrived at independently by
each station, or if it was a mutual agreement, preceded by phone calls between them?
I think its a case of "...what can we do now?" sort of thing at least with Huntington's WSAZ &
WHTN anyway. The movie and books about the crash over the years pointed out more/less that
just about everyone in town wanted to be at the University, airport or at a church, not in front of
the TV set. With WCHS, I am sure it was out of respect plus with a lack of staff & equipment
more/less forget doing team coverage all night long.

In 1970, in the Charlie West/Huntington market, there were no minicams.
News footage was shot on film. So after you shoot it you hustle it in to
your film lab (if you had one) or a local public lab that you use, assuming
your contract had them there on Saturday nights in case you shot new
stuff for your 11 PM 'cast.
I think I can safely say no local station had a mobile unit (there were no
"live trucks" then). Even if you had a mobile unit and sent it to the
airport, try to get a hold of a Telco guy to set up a local loop from the
remote site back to your station without the several days notice needed!

Anyone know what aired (or supposed to air) the next day? Personally, I would think the tragedy
affected the stations' schedules for several days afterward.

Some time ago I seem to recall reading a website done by a student of Marshall University who
was there at the time of the plane crash that had killed their football team and she was
comparing the crash to the death of Kennedy in 1963.
With that being said can you imagine what would had happened say had JFK been assassinated
in someplace like in Casper, Wyoming rather than a big city such as Dallas? Do you really think
Casper's KTWO would had been able to do the same type of job as Dallas' WFAA was able to do
when they covered the assassination of President Kennedy? Hardly !!!
I can see why the Huntington, WV stations decided to simply go off the air. They really were on
their own.

Also Marshall University at the time ( kinda still is now ) is not very well known from outside
West Virginia and the surrounding states so to expect lots of coverage from the big three
networks of the time, highly unlikely.
Well known to me, anyway, since they are conference mates (CUSA) with my alma mater (UCF),
both having moved from the MAC, and we also played them a few times even back when UCF
was independent.

Phoenix & Las Vegas TV listings
from the Arizona Republic
**Please don't ask why on earth would a PHOENIX paper carry listings for local Las Vegas TV. I
have not a clue !!!
Educated guess... the Republic is distributed statewide (no decent local paper in Kingman) &
Vegas stations are on translators in the northwestern part of the state.
Sunday Milwaukee Journal used to carry listings for the entire state of Wisconsin. (also Duluth
and Rockford) I guess many of the upstate papers didn't publish a Sunday edition..

Wonder why KTVK and KSHO didn't carry Judd For The Defense at 9:00 PM electing to air reruns
of The Monroes and Burke's Law instead?

Dr. Alex Stone aka Clinton Judd was on Fridays at 10/9.
I'm wondering if ABC just gave back the entire 10/9 hour on Thursdays
after Good Company was canceled in December 1967. 10:30/9:30 was
already local. Any ideas, bpatrick or others?
mleach: were the Tucson listings also in this edition? (The "Repugnant's"
bulldog edition did have Tucson through much of the '60s, adding Vegas
later on, likely for the reasons w9wi gave.) The ABC and CBS listings in
Tucson would have been similar, if not identical at least for network, to
their "big brother" PHX stations, however the NBC affil may have varied
at least in prime time, and I'm not sure about Carson.

You beat me to it !! ;D
Actually the Arizona Republic DID have listings in this edition for Tuscon and Yuma as well as as
Indianapolis (..ok I am kidding about that one )
I will be posting those listings by Monday for ya.
One thing I did noticed about the Phoenix stations...KTVK-KPHO-KOOL-KTAR must had spent a
TON of money in newspaper ads back in the day as all of them gave very detailed information
other than some of their movies as to what is on their schedules...even right down to the
description of the network shows ( Example: 2/29/68 Dragnet was about a man trying to kill
himself in a hotel while Friday & Gannon were trying to hunt him down. ) For the most part
other similar listings would had just said "Dragnet 68" and leave it at that.

ABC daytime (New York feed) cleared "live" which was probably typical
of most if not all MT markets then.
As for prime time however, this leads me to believe KTVK was still airing
16mm film prints; I don't think they had enough tape machines to do an
in pattern one-hour delay until a bit later on. The Channing special, as
well as Bishop (nightly) would have been a one-hour tape delay.

Second feed of the Captain, then CBS daytime all live. Rather odd
to see syndication of a VTR show back then (Password at 11 AM
during the dead half-hour).

The 6 PM news would be with Bill Close. Nuff said.
Bad prime scheduling for the Mountain Time Zone in the days before a
station had enough tape machines to effectively delay in pattern.
(Think NBC, Wednesday 7:30-9 ET, throughout most of the 1960s.)
Of course the nets could have cared less about the Mountain zone.
IIRC, the 6:30 western was on 16mm film more often than not, while
the 8 PM CBS movie was on a one-hour delay (as opposed to during
most of the 65-66 season when it was on a one-week delay).

That would be KTAR-TV Mesa, although they didn't want you to know it.
Hey, where's the first half-hour of the second hour of Today (6 AM)?
7-8 was the network refeed of the first hour (think Central Time Zone
back then). NBC daytime mostly live, except for delaying LMAD from
11:30 AM to 2:30 PM. 5-6:30 was today's typical news "sandwich" with
H-B at 5:30 surrounded by local.
Any old PHX 12ers who can dissect prime--at least Boone and Ironside?
I'd guess "Lt. Mason" was same-night on tape, but not sure if ol' Dan'l was
on tape or film, one-hour or one-week delay. Boone could easily have been
flipped to 9:00--it was a frontier adventure more than a "kiddie" show.
With three tape machines, Carson could easily have been delayed an hour.

Match Game (2:30 PT) was not aired by the KORKsters.

With H-B at 5:30, either Burbank's first left coast feed was 5:30 PT
(not just 6, 6:30 and 7) even back then, or else during the closed
circuit time Burbank passed the NYC feed through at 3:30 and/or 4
for stations to record if they wanted to air it before 6.

Now this was one wacko TV station! ABC daytime was the east coast feed
all aired live three hours earlier (except Donna, delayed from 7:30 to 1:30).
Prime time/late-night was the CT/MT window instead of ET/PT, but it was
not in any semblance of "pattern."
How did AT&T get the ABC feed to KSHO or did they not have one--did the
Telco line come in from Phoenix, instead of El Lay? Did Prospect pass NYC
through, perhaps on a microwave link? Or was there a microwave feed from
KTVK Phoenix? Remember, Vegas was an hour earlier than Phoenix so KSHO
had to delay prime time in some manner, or were they also into running 16mm
film prints as KTVK did?

Closed circuit for Michael Hagerty: I believe you were at ch. 13 (by then KTNV)
in the early 1980s. Do you know of any of the 1960s history of KSHO in regard
to the ABC network setup and why they didn't use the left coast feed?

I was there from 9/84 to 3/86. The only remnants of the past when I was there was the locals
joking...well, actually, telling the truth...about how the local "Celebrity Bowling" show was the
only thing anyone watched on 13 in the 60s.
I came in under Ed Quinn (recently retired as head of McGraw-Hill television), who was then
young, agressive and totally looking forward. Looks like there wasn't anything to be nostalgic
about, anyway.

Yes they did...the 3 affiliates had their own ads on the same page as the Rep's TV listings, which
were quite brief (non-descriptive)in the 60s-early 70s.
As did KPAZ, which was at this time a Spanish station featuring Mexican bullfights (their logo at
that time was El Toro! )...ch 21 pre-Trinity would go on and off the air frequently

from Wednesday 7:30 in favor of a movie, when I moved to Greenville, SC

WEAR wasn't airing a 10pm newscast?
It was a typographical error by me after hours of a day of typing two sets of TV listings, research,
and looking at tricky newspaper listings TV listings from 1994 compared to older listings in my
collection. I wish I could edit my previous post, but I'll correct myself here.
WEAR-TV:

I may reconsider posting any more old TV listings from my broadcast area until the editing time is
lengthen here at these forums.
Why not do what I do when I have a particularly lengthy post? Compose, proofread, and edit it in
your favorite word processing program first, then cut-and-paste it to the forum.

Re: Retro: Mobile/Pensacola Wednesday, March 16th, 1994
The TV listings above were typed in the same document file as other TV listings typed previously
(in chronological order, meaning the listings from 1994 appear last). Typing TV listings in a
separate file before copying and pasting them online may help me avoid any more typographical
errors.
I should also mention my computer froze as I typed the listings above in a word processor and
my Internet connection shares one home telephone line, meaning I cannot always stay online or
get online immediately due to numerous and expected telephone calls. Its been months since I
typed TV listings and I was used to these distractions.

Though you probably wouldn't have noticed it if you lived in Windsor, owing to CBC's policy to

I lived in the Hannibal-Quincy market in 1985 and 86. I remember this TV guide edition. Across
the river in Hannibal there was a different edition which included the St. Louis market, whick we
got on cable

Very familiar with this edition--this is what was distributed in northwest Peoria County, IL, where
I grew up (and the city of Peoria proper). And I had even seen the Western Illinois editions
distributed across the Illinois River from Peoria in Tazewell County (where even some of the
southernmost parts of that county may have been able to get WAND-17 Decatur, WILL-12
Urbana, and even WCIA-3 Champaign--stations not listed in this edition)--but for some reason
Mason County (county seat Havana) southwest of Tazewell received the Eastern Illinois edition
(where it was possible in the analog days in the county's far southwestern part to pick up a
fringe signal of the Quincy/Hannibal stations). In addition, while traveling through northeastern
Missouri around 1987 I even saw the Western Illinois edition being sold at a gas station in
Alexandria, MO just across from Keokuk, IA--but this can be understandable as Alexandria's only
TV options were the Hannibal-Quincy stations plus KTVO.
And this issue's date is included in the time that KTVO was broadcasting from their ill-fated 2000
ft. tower near Colony, MO, which collapsed on June 2, 1988. Hence the reason for no "All My
Children" at 3PM on WGEM that March 16--as KTVO was able to get IIRC a Grade A signal into
Quincy.
I've even seen reports in the past that during the short-lived days of KTVO's mega-signal in 1987-
88, that it was receptable as far east as Jacksonville, IL (Morgan County)--30 miles west of
Springfield and now part of the Springfield-Decatur-Champaign market (but I don't know if back
in the late '80s Morgan County was still considered part of the Quincy/Hannibal market--does
anyone know when that switch occurred?). And this was despite the presence of WCIA-3
Champaign, which then had as its repeater station WCFN-49 in Springfield (which became a
standalone first as UPN from 2002-06, and now My on DTV 13) in Springfield. I wonder how
much havoc, if any, that KTVO wreaked upon WCFN's reception of WCIA's channel 3 signal during
1987-88?
And closing with a "What if": how could the landscape of western/central Illinois, NE Missouri,
and SE Iowa TV have been affected had KTVO's new tower NOT fallen that fateful June day in
1988? Would Quincy/Hannibal and Kirksville/Ottumwa been merged into one market? If the
reports were true that KTVO's mega-signal was receptable as far east as Jacksonville, could this
fact had stopped Nexstar's plans of transforming WCFN from a WCIA repeater for the Springfield
area into a standalone UPN affiliate in April 2002--which back in the waning days of analog left
many non-cable/satellite viewers in the Springfield area from receiving CBS programming unless
they were lucky to receive WCIA's main signal or other CBS affiliates from St. Louis (KMOV),
Peoria (WMBD), or Quincy/Hannibal (KHQA)?

I would say none -- since WCIA and WCFN were under common ownership, WCFN might've
picked up WCIA's signal via microwave or a cable connection.

I was living briefly in Springfield during summer 1999 (for a state government internship), and
had cable in my apartment. I assumed that AT&T (which then had the Springfield cable
franchise) picked up WCIA's signal through the WCFN repeater. During that summer I noticed
several instances of DX or thunderstorm-induced static causing havoc--even on cable--on
WCFN's signal of WCIA, so it appears that at that time the WCFN repeater relied on OTA
reception of the WCIA signal.

Re: RETRO: Toledo-Lima, Wed. 3/23/1983
Could you please post listings for Saturday 3/19/83?
19C WXIX (Cleveland; Ind.)
WXIX is in Cincinnati; not to be confused with future sister station WOIO in Cleveland (which
won't sign on until 1985).
Thank you for the correction on that typo!

Boatload of stations in that edition, though 44 in Lima was missing
Not to mention another station that, in the 1950's to early '60's, also used the WXIX calls, but by
1983 was known as WVTV (Ch. 18) in Milwaukee, WI.

I can't believe that no station in Toledo,Lima or Fort Wayne aired Tic Tac Dough or The Joker's
Wild at this time in 1983. And TTD wasot on in Dayton then, and I think that WCMH-TV or
WBNS-TV should've gotten TTD and TJW back to back instead of having two Barry & Enright
shows against each other in Columbus at 10 am. Couldn't WCMH have axed PM Magazine to air
TJW at 7:30,where everyone watches games. Or how about WBNS having TJW before the news
and TTD after?.
I think TTD and TJW aired in Fort Wayne on WFFT in the late 1970's and early 80's. Aside from
WTTV Indy carrying TTD and TJW on cable around Fort Wayne, did any other Fort Wayne outlet
air the B&E combo before they went off the air?.

Yea it is crazy about no TTD or TJW in Toldeo, Fort Wayne and Lima.I am sure ,Jamey, that WFFT-
TV had TTD and TJW (and maybe Match Game or another syndie game) in the late 70's and early
80's, because I had a Motorola B&W Tv that got in Fort Wayne 55 and the South Bend UHF's.
Then when I moved to another part of Battle Creek, in addition to cable which was that 12
channel crap then, I got an A-B switch so I could get WJRT-TV ABC 12 Flint so I could watch TJW,
TTD, Match Game and Bullseye. I did not get WOR-TV on cable until I moved to a new apartment
with satellite in 9/1984,by which time TJW and TTD had returned to Channel 9 in New York after
WCBS-TV had them.

I read somewhere that no Boston station ever carried TTD, other than the 1978 CBS run. (Don;t
know about Joker, though.)
Speaking of Channel 19, did anything air at 6:30 AM in between "Perspectives" (6:15 AM) and
"Groovy Ghoulies" (7 AM)?
Yea it is crazy about no TTD or TJW in Toldeo, Fort Wayne and Lima.{qoute}. No TJW or TTD for
the rest of it's runs in Lansing either.
9 AM
2-4 PHIL DONAHUE
13 PHIL DONAHUE
21 PHIL DONAHUE
35 PHIL DONAHUE
FOUR different episodes of "Donahue" aired at the same time?
It would probably be the same Donahue ep.
All depends on if the old syndication method of "bicycling" was still used then. Did TVG say what
episodes were playing?
Each separate listing represented a different episode.
There is nothing listed in between 6:15 and 7 AM.
Could you please post listings for Saturday 3/19/83?

I was just on the Vintage Toledo TV website and I saw a May 1982 TV Guide ad from then NBC
affiliate WKEF-TV 22 (it has since swapped networks with WDTN-TV 2 ABC, returning to their old
networks) promoting Tic Tac Dough at 5pm, and in Fall 1982, Barney Miller which had just left
ABC after 8 season replaced TTD, WInk Martindale, Charlie O'Donnell, Dragon and all!. Why
couldn't WHIO-TV get TTD , so they could air it back to back with The Joker's Wild?.

Maybe WHIO didn't want to. Back then they were running off network stuff at 5, and MASH held
down 5:30 for a long time
Except for Family Feud, Programming directors in 1981 and 1982 were weenies when it came to
putting on game shows like Tic Tac Dough, The Joker's Wild , Bullseye, even Match Game,and
instead putting on reruns or crap like ET and Lie Detector, but Wheel Of Fortune in 1983 and
Jeopardy! in 1984 changed all that.
Back in the 1980s I didn't think of ET as being crap, but over the years (especially recently) they
were, as they became slanted more towards tabloid journalism than ordinary celebrity news.
Things weren't the same since John Tesh left the show.
YouTube has a clip of ET from Nov. 18, 1981--2 months into its first season--with then co-host
Ron Hendren's report on the emerging home video scene (VCR's, Betamax, video discs). A clip of
the jazzy original ET theme from 1981 is included from 2:30-2:55. Hard to believe late next year
this clip (and ET) will be 30 years old. Seeing this clip makes me long for the early days of ET.

Yea, it's hard to believe that Entertainment Tonight will be 30 next year. I remember when
WUHQ-TV 41 -ABC in Battle Creek (now WOTV 41) got a satellite dish so they could carry ET each
evening several weeks prior to ET's debut.

I THINK the wrestling on ch.21 was Mid-South, which was taped in Shreveport (WWF hadn't
begun national syndication yet). Channel 11 had WCCW wrestling (it was called "Saturday Night
Wrestling" at this time) from Ft. Worth, while ch. 39 had the nationally syndicated show from the
Sportatorium on Sundays at 11am.

Actually, this was a retooled version of the show, seen during its final season -- the show was
changed from a standard variety / interview format (hosted by Ralph Emery and later, Tom T.
Hall) to a night club setting, hosted by Jim "Hey, Vern" Varney.

No. In fact, I'm concentrating on Kentucky issues from
the '70s and early '80s.

12/9/80 happened to be the day after John Lennon was killed...That was the lead story, IIRC, on
all 3 network newscasts.
"Las Vegas Gambit" was the show that replaced "The David Letterman Show" on NBC daytime. In
fact, he devoted a good chunk of his final show to promoting/ripping "Las Vegas Gambit".

Yep. That's why I have the morning paper from that day.

A request, though nothing specific: Would you happen to have a copy of the Press & Sun Bulletin
or Post-Standard from the early 90's? I remember seeing both newspapers around that time, and
one of them, I believe the latter, had boatloads more stations, including from Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre.
And one more thing... Toni Tennille had a talk show? ???

...indeed, she did -- it appears (re the IMDb) to have been Bruce Gowers' first U.S. directing gig;
he's now the main director for American Idol...

It might have been the Binghamton paper. I have the P-S from Nov. '89 (when the Berlin Wall was
coming down) and it lists even fewer stations than the 1980 edition.
I will soon post listings from The Ithaca Journal from early 1990, which lists Syracuse, Rochester,
Elmira, Binghamton, and WVIA Scranton.

Well, unlike going on YouTube and searching for clips from Toni Tennille's ill-fated talk show... I'm

I have family in Binghamton and thus was reading the TV listings in the Press (and later the Press
& Sun-Bulletin) as far back as the mid-70s. My recollection is that they always listed Binghamton,
Elmira, Scranton and the big 3 from Syracuse; at one time, there were also at least some listings
from Rochester, Utica and even WRGB, which reached down pretty far along the route 7/I-88
corridor.
The Syracuse papers had regionalized listings, at least on Sunday - there was a version that went
to Cayuga County and points west that listed Rochester and Binghamton alongside Syracuse, and
another version that went north and east with Watertown and Utica listings. I think there was
still at least a "regional" and "city" version of the Sunday TV listings as recently as a few years
ago. For a long time, they listed the regional stations only by calls, no channel numbers, probably
because they showed up on so many little cable systems at different positions.
All kinds of good stuff over at http://www.fybush.com

Okay. What normally aired between 4 and 6 on WROC that fall? Not to complain, but every time
a schedule has an ABC Afterschool Special, CBS Schoolbreak Special or NBC Special Treat in that
slot, no one bothers to put in a note on what regularly scheduled program or programs were
pre-empted.

I recall WFTS in Tampa Bay doing the same thing -- running an entire week as a single block. I
think the syndicator offered the program as a daily series or a weekly block.

In the greater New York area, WWOR/9 aired the daily version; WTIC/61 buried it on early
Saturday mornings.

This was the television title for an Italian sword and sandal film "Perseus The Invincible", starring
Richard Harrison as Perseus. The film was part of "The Sons of Hercules" package, which
featured many Italian peplum films, retitled to create an illusion that the heroes were the titular
"Sons of Hercules", even though they actually weren't (and two of the films featured Hercules
himself as headliner, more or less making him his own son).

I am pretty sure that by the time of these listings and perhaps until around 1977, WXEX was the
largest station in the US at least among network affiliates that didn't offer any local news on
weekends. Around the same time WXEX had became WRIC in the early 90's I seem to recall
reading Richmond Time-Dispatch TV columnist Doug Durden ( a woman NOT a man ) making a
mention of this.
Considering that WXEX in the early-mid 70's spent quite a bit of money launching "TV8
Eyewitness News" plus by the mid 70's WXEX even had their own news chopper, even though
WXEX wasn't able to do live reports from that thing. On top of that WXEX was at the time owned
by Nationwide Insurance ( talk about having money ) and WXEX's sister station was WLEE-AM,
Richmond's big AM top 40 ( and number 1 ) station at the time...and WLEE offered news on the
weekends. Despite all of those advantages, WXEX still didn't do news on weekends until at least
1976.
Looking back at these listings WWBT, I see they didn't do news on Saturdays either but didnt
WWBT do news on Sundays back in the early-mid 70's?
I can't remember when WBRC or WAPI in Birmingham added weekend news, but it was well
after 1971. And hasn't Birmingham always been a bigger market than Richmond?
Birmingham has always been a bigger market than Richmond. But then again those local TV
newspaper critics, chances are they usually know very little of TV outside of the markets they
write about. It sure was the case with Tom Shales and The Washington Post. I can still remember
the time he had done a story about some Buffalo newscaster who had landed a job in
Washington. According to Shales in his column the call letters of the Buffalo TV stations were
WZGR, WIVE, WKWV and WUTV. Well at least he got one out of four right.

In March 1971 WTVR and WWBT had late newscasts on Sundays;
WWBT's aired at 11 PM; WTVR's at 11:15, following the CBS late-
Sunday newscast. Neither had an early newscast on Sunday; while
both aired their early-evening network news (WTVR at 6, WWBT at
6:30), John Hartford's "Something Else" followed CBS News in Richmond,
while Betty White's "The Pet Set" preceded NBC News. And even at
that, WTVR's 11:15 PM newscast was only 15 minutes; Merv Griffin

(delayed from Friday night) aired at 11:30.
I lived in Birmingham from 1969 to 1973 and never remember a local
weekend newscast on any of the affiliates. Not many ABC affiliates,
at least in the South, did local news on weekends, anyway; I remember
when Atlanta's Ch. 11 started newscasts at noon, 6:30, and 11 on
Saturday and Sunday in the fall of '72; prior to that the ABC affiliates
in Orlando and Tampa had 6:30 newscasts on Saturday, but Tampa dropped
theirs in favor of "The Reasoner Report" in the spring of '73. But that was
about it until the late '70s.
As for the other networks, most CBS and NBC affiliates had local weekend
newscasts in the late '60s; I know that was true in Atlanta and Tampa, and
I remember Saturday local newscasts on WFMY (CBS) and WSJS (now WXII, NBC)
in Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point, and on WBTV Charlotte.

Don't forget, this was a local newspaper, not TV Guide. Local newspaper
television guides prior to the 90s did not always have late night/early
morning listings.

I think this was the pilot that starred Farrah Fawcett; I recall this pilot being repeated twice since
then -- first on NBC in 1976 (after Farrah hit success on "Charlie's Angels") and again in the 1990s
on Nick at Nite (to show what could have been Farrah's first starring role).
Of course, this pilot is not related to the in-school television program of the exact same name
that many of us are familiar with, which debuted the following year.
About a year before Inside OUT, Farrah did have a rather large role in the 1970 infamous Raquel
Welch/Mae West movie Myra Breckinridge. Then again Farrah would later admit that the
experience of doing that movie was less than positive. But at least she had admitted doing that
movie, unlike her co-stars such as Tom Selleck ( early role for him, Jim Backus,film critic Rex
Reed, Roger C. Carmel, even Raquel herself had over the years more/less refused to as much as
even mention their roles in the movie.

RETRO: KNBC 4 Los Angeles - Sunday, Nov. 11, 1962 & Monday, Nov. 12, 1962
This day was particularly notable in Los Angeles TV history as it was on or about this day -
Sunday, November 11, 1962 - that NBC's Los Angeles O&O, known since 1954 as KRCA, first
adopted the call letters of KNBC. (On or about this same day, NBC's San Francisco radio outlet [at
680 AM and 99.7 FM], known since 1946 as KNBC, changed its call letters to KNBR.) On Monday,
November 12, 1962, the station put a full-page ad in the Times announcing that KRCA was now
KNBC. Therefore, both days will be mentioned here.

I would hazard a guess and say the animated series...IIRC from my childhood (I would have been
10 in nov. 87), the 60s sitcom was airing on Nickelodeon/Nick at Nite.
BTW, I'll work on transcribing the Saturday/Sunday listings this afternoon.

I would hazard a guess and say the animated series...IIRC from my childhood (I would have been
10 in nov. 87), the 60s sitcom was airing on Nickelodeon/Nick at Nite.
BTW, I'll work on transcribing the Saturday/Sunday listings this afternoon.
I wouldn't rule out both actually considering the 7:30 Dennis The Menace was in between two
cartoons. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the animated version. Meanwhile the 8:30 Dennis
the Menace, considering the 9am show was F-Troop ( which was also on Nick BTW ), I bet that
was the B/W Jay North version.
You are right that the Jay North version of Dennis did air on Nickelodeon as well as Nick@Nite
( Dennis was Nick@Nite's first show in 1985). However by the mid 90's both networks had
"denied" airing Dennis the Menace at all with Nick@Nite going as far as saying on the air that
DONNA REED was their first show when they celebrated their 10th anniversary in 1995. Of
course at the time Jay North had been hitting the talk show circuit bringing up the abuse he had
went through on the set. I am sure that made Nickelodeon & Nick@Nite quite unhappy. I still
believe that was the reason why both channels would end up dropping Dennis. Wonder if there
were any local stations who had done the same?
Of course Nick@Nite's sister channel TV Land would air Dennis ( Jay North ) many years later
( 2003?). However by that time Jay North somewhat had back away from talking about the
abuse and had mellowed out, even poking fun at his role as Dennis Mitchell such as North's
cameo in the David Spade movie "Dickie Roberts".
Another reason I heard was than an Australian company, Quintex, bought the rights to the series
from Columbia Pictures, with the intent to release a colorised version of the series. However,
Quintex went bankrupt, and the rights to the series was held up for several years. (The same
went for McHale's Navy, which Quintex also acquired for colorisation.)
I remember this !! I believe "Car 54..Where are You?" and "Mister Ed" were two other shows
Quintex had wanted to colorised as well.
But still I am pretty sure it was the 1992 NBC-TV interview with Jay North who had first brought
up the abuse on the set of Denns the Menace which sealed the doom for both the animated and
60's version of the show. While it is hardly for me to say whether he was/wasn't abused on the
set of Dennis The Manace ( I also know that this subject has been discussed earlier on this site ),
it needs to be said that neither Gloria Henry & Herb Anderson ( his TV parents ), Sylvia Fields
( the original Mrs. Wilson ), Gale Gordon ( the second Mr. Wilson ), Jean Russell ( Margret ), Billy
Booth ( Tommy ), Mary Wickes ( Miss Cathcart ) or Irene Tedrow ( Mrs. Elkins )..all of whom were
very much alive in 1992, interesting none of those people ever did stand up for Jay North when
he had made those claims, even though North had said that a lot of the abuse had taken place
on the set in front of the "others". I wouldn't be surprised that when North came out about this
there was a meeting at Nickelodeon and Nick&Nite as well as the local stations that had aired
Dennis the Menace had asked the question "..we have to do something about this ?".

I'm surprised that the animated series was caught in the crossfire as well, even though North
was never involved in that series. If that was the case, it's little wonder that the newspapers
didn't dump the strip as well.
I believe "Car 54..Where are You?" and "Mister Ed" were two other shows Quintex had wanted
to colorised as well.
Though if Car 54 was colorised, would they color the police car blue or red? (The latter was used,
to set it apart from the real police cars during filming.)

Re: Jay North...
Jay North has bipolar disorder and during the time of these listings and a number of years
afterward it was quite clear Jay was NOT taking his meds, at least on a regular basis anyway. This
should explain why on NBC he was slamming Dennis The Menace and the cast while on other
shows at the same time, shows like Geraldo & Sally Jessie he was speaking highly of the cast,
much less even mentioning the abuse. I am sure this was the chief reason why the cast didn't
stand up with North and spoke about on the abuse Jay had encountered on the set. Can't say for
sure of course but I am sure there was a concern back in the day for those who had been airing
Dennis the Menace ( both nationwide and locally and this would be including the cartoon
version since people could at least try to make the connection ) that if somebody would had
approached Jay North and mention Dennis The Menace to him, chances are they would
encounter violence by the hands of Jay North. It was exactly the very same thing with Make
Room For Daddy's Rusty Hamer in the years leading to his suicide. Mention Danny Thomas or
Make Room to Daddy to Rusty....POW right in the kisser !!
At least Jay had got the help he needed later on, sadly it was not the case with Rusty Hamer.

Did KTVO really run "Password" a second time at 4PM, or is that a misprint? I would imagine
they aired "Split Second" at 4, which they pre-empted at 11:30 to run "Search for Tomorrow"
from CBS.

Checking out these listings very much reminded me of a movie I can remember seeing in church
back in the 1983. The movie was very similar to the Kirk Cameron movie "Left Behind" but this
one was shot in Des Moines in the early 70's. Sadly I don't remember the title.
One scene I can remember, after the rapture had taken place the woman who was "left behind"
was flipping between WHO and KRNT ( their logos were seen ) only to have their newspeople tell
the viewers of Des Moines that for "identification" they would need to recieve a tattoo of
numbers behind their left ear...I.E. The mark of the beast.
I have searched IMDB in the past trying to find the title of this movie but I never did find it.
Also on a similar note..didn't one of these stations ( in this edition of TV Guide ) make an
appearance in the 1971 comedy with Dick Van Dyke & Bob Newhart "Cold Turkey"?

Do you have Iowa edition listings for Friday, March 24, 1972--or for that matter any other Friday
in Iowa between fall 1971 and summer 1979?
I remember reading about this issue in threads on various Google message boards around 2001-
02, but was the reason for the tape-delayed broadcast of "Sanford and Son" on the ill-fated KVFD
Fort Dodge* on that Monday night due to "Hee Haw" bumping Sanford on Friday night?
The threads on the Google boards regarding Hee Haw in Iowa have strongly indicated that
between at least 1971-79, most of the state's NBC affiliates, with the possible exception of WOC
(now KWQC) in the Quad Cities (and based on the earlier Mar. 18, 1972 schedule, perhaps
KWWL Waterloo at least in spring '72), aired HH at 6:30 on Friday nights, bumping "Sanford and
Son" and other NBC programs during those eight years that aired in the 7PM slot (e.g. Waverly
Wonders, Diff'rent Strokes, Sanford Arms) to tape-delay status. Did that actually happen, or is
that a Google message board urban legend?
Also, the same message boards have indicated that WHO did not clear "Days of Our Lives" until
1984, in favor of 12:30PM movies.
*KVFD's studio and transmitter were destroyed in a tornado in 1977--just right after the FCC
forced the station to move to channel 50 so an Iowa Public Television repeater could use channel
21 in Fort Dodge, and IIRC about the same time WHO increased their power and moved their TV
transmitter from alongside their AM stick near Mitchellville to near Alleman, IA.

3 KTVO-ABC/NBC/CBS Ottumwa
5 WOI-ABC Ames
6 WOC-NBC Quad Cities
7 KWWL-NBC Waterloo
8* KRNT-CBS Des Moines
11 KDIN-PBS Des Moines
12 KIIN-PBS Iowa City
13 WHO-NBC Des Moines
21 KVFD-NBC Fort Dodge
40 KDUB-ABC Dubuque
This edition could have been more accurately referred to as the "Eastern Iowa Edition" as IIRC I
do not think even Mason City/Austin/Rochester stations would later be included in this edition,
as were most notably stations in markets serving the western half of Iowa (Omaha, Sioux City,
Sioux Falls). This would have ironically relegated TV Guide subscribers in parts of western Iowa to
receiving the Nebraska edition to get their home markets' local stations. ??? ???
Also, do you also have any of the Des Moines Register's TV listings, particularly from the 1980s?
Back in 1986 and again around 1996 I noticed that their Sunday TV section not only included Des
Moines/Ames stations, but also those of most every station whose market area covered parts of
central and eastern Iowa (i.e. Cedar Rapids/Waterloo, Quad Cities, Mason City/Austin/Rochester,
Hannibal/Quincy, Kirksville/Ottumwa, LaCrosse). Interestingly, unless there was a separate TV
section for western Iowa, as with the "Iowa Edition" of TV Guide none of the stations in markets
that included some western Iowa counties (i.e. Omaha, Sioux City, Sioux Falls, Mankato) were
included in the Register's TV listings that I have seen before. Why was that? ??? ???

I also seem to recall "Days Of Our Lives" being pre-empted in
Des Moines in favor of a 12:30 movie, and this is even after
"Days" went to an hour and was on at 12:30 (CT).
And yes, Sioux City was in the Nebraska edition, as was
Sioux Falls-Mitchell, SD.

Yes, Hee Haw was on Fridays 6:30-7:30. Sanford and Son was on Saturdays at 6:30 on WHO and
KWWL, but KVFD ran Lawrence Welk Saturdays 6-7.
The threads on the Google boards regarding Hee Haw in Iowa have strongly indicated that
between at least 1971-79, most of the state's NBC affiliates, with the possible exception of WOC
(now KWQC) in the Quad Cities (and based on the earlier Mar. 18, 1972 schedule, perhaps
KWWL Waterloo at least in spring '72), aired HH at 6:30 on Friday nights, bumping "Sanford and
Son" and other NBC programs during those eight years that aired in the 7PM slot (e.g. Waverly
Wonders, Diff'rent Strokes, Sanford Arms) to tape-delay status. Did that actually happen, or is
that a Google message board urban legend?
WHO and KWWL ran Hee Haw Fridays at 6:30. I'm not sure about the Quad Cities, but I think
Hee Haw was on WHBF. Hee Haw was very popular, and that was sort of the natural place to put
it since NBC had a half-hour show at 7 that could be delayed. Hee Haw wouldn't work Saturday
6-7 as they had local news at 6. KTIV, Sioux City, also had Hee Haw on Fridays.
Also, the same message boards have indicated that WHO did not clear "Days of Our Lives" until
1984, in favor of 12:30PM movies.
That's true, too. Since KVFD took their NBC programming off-air from WHO, they had to fill with
"Film Feature" and other fill programming 12:30-2pm.
*KVFD's studio and transmitter were destroyed in a tornado in 1977--just right after the FCC
forced the station to move to channel 50 so an Iowa Public Television repeater could use channel
21 in Fort Dodge, and IIRC about the same time WHO increased their power and moved their TV
transmitter from alongside their AM stick near Mitchellville to near Alleman, IA.
The FCC didn't force KVFD to move from 21 to 50. KVFD built a new, taller tower northwest of Ft.
Dodge to expand their signal, but it had a weaker signal in Ft. Dodge. So KVFD sold their new
tower and channel 21 transmitter to IPTV. KVFD then put a higher-power channel 50 transmitter
on their old, lower tower in Ft. Dodge. It was the old tower that was destroyed in the tornado.
The studio wasn't, the building is now part of the Iowa Central Community College campus.

At one time, the Des Moines Register included all of those markets you listed in the Sunday TV
section plus St. Joseph. They also carried all those stations in the state edition of the daily paper.
The Des Moines local daily edition had the Des Moines/Ames stations (and maybe Ft. Dodge)
plus Des Moines radio listings.
Sometime in the 70s, I think, they divided the TV listings into two editions, all of the eastern
markets plus Des Moines/Ames in one; the western markets plus Des Moines/Ames in the other,
which may have also included Ottumwa, Mason City/Austin/Rochester.

I'm not sure about the Quad Cities, but I think Hee Haw was on WHBF.
You're right. "Hee Haw" was on WHBF/Rock Island during this period.

You're right. "Hee Haw" was on WHBF/Rock Island during this period.
And circa 1979-80, HH bumped "The Incredible Hulk" on Fridays at 7 (as a natural lead-in to the
Dukes and Dallas), leaving the Hulk unseen in the Quad Cities during that time.
WHO and KWWL ran Hee Haw Fridays at 6:30. I'm not sure about the Quad Cities, but I think
Hee Haw was on WHBF. Hee Haw was very popular, and that was sort of the natural place to put
it since NBC had a half-hour show at 7 that could be delayed. Hee Haw wouldn't work Saturday
6-7 as they had local news at 6. KTIV, Sioux City, also had Hee Haw on Fridays.
And another reason for HH not being able to be shown on those Iowa NBC stations on Saturdays
6-7: the fact that most of the ABC stations in the state (the Quad Cities the exception again) aired
Lawrence Welk in that slot--and in Iowa it would be "sacreligious" to put those two shows
against each other. In the Quad Cities, Welk was aired on WHBF from 6-7 Saturdays.
And even though Hee Haw aired on WHBF, from seeing old listings around 1978-80, WOC (now
KWQC) was also in the habit of bumping the Friday 7-8 PM programming on NBC for the likes of
"Name that Tune," Bob Newhart Show reruns, and "Wild Kingdom."
Did KTVO really run "Password" a second time at 4PM, or is that a misprint? I would imagine
they aired "Split Second" at 4, which they pre-empted at 11:30 to run "Search for Tomorrow"
from CBS.
According to the schedule, they did run Password at 4 on that day at least. It was a regular
episode at 4, with ABC airing the first of a tournament of champions on the daytime broadcast.
And in re-checking those listings, Password was on weekdays at 4.

In doing some more searching in the DM Register listings, ABC had just changed the previous
week their morning schedule from:
10:30 That Girl
11:00 Bewitched
11:30 Password
to:
10:30 Bewitched
11:00 Password
11:30 Split Second
Either KTVO make a mistake in their listings, or they were delaying the 11:30 ABC offering by a
week.

I always thought it was interesting that KTVO didn't utilize its secondary CBS affiliation to
continue airing "Captain Kangaroo," which it would have aired as a primary CBS affiliate until
sometime in 1968. ABC offered no programming that early in the morning, and the Captain and
"Sesame Street" would have complimented each other nicely.
Retro: WOKY-TV and WCAN-TV Milwaukee, Christmas Day to New Years Eve, 1954
...as had been requested elsewhere on this board, here is a full week's schedules of two
Milwaukee UHF stations in the final week of 1954. At the time of these listings, WOKY-TV/19 and
WCAN-TV/25 were lame duck licenses about to be modified. WOKY had its ABC and (most of its)
Du Mont affiliations swiped from it by WTVW/12 (now WISN-TV) when that VHF station took to
the air in October, and CBS was awaiting FCC approval of its plan to purchase both WOKY-TV and
its original affiliate in Milwaukee, WCAN-TV/25, in order to merge the former's transmitter and
the latter's studios and offices into what was eventually named WXIX-TV/19. So WOKY wasn't a
particularly competitive operation at the time. Still, it was operating as an official secondary Du
Mont affiliate in the final week of 1954 against two VHF signals (WTMJ-TV/4, the NBC affiliate, in
addition to WTVW) and one UHF (WCAN-TV). The WCAN programming that I specify as coming
from CBS indicate that one or both of the two other CBS affiliates listed in the Wisconsin Edition
of TV Guide, WBAY-TV/2 Green Bay and WKOW-TV/27 Madison, are also shown running the
same program at the same time; I suspect a few other programs may in fact originate from CBS
but were time-shifted by WCAN, and WBAY and/or WKOW didn't run them in their markets. (For
example, WKOW didn't show "See It Now," and WBAY pre-empted Red Skelton in favor of Du
Mont's Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, both on Tuesday night. The fact that WBAY was owned by a
Roman Catholic entity at the time probably played into the latter decision.) I also suspect a
couple of WOKY listings, "They Stand Accused" on Thursday night and "The Clue" on Friday,
could be Du Mont programs that WTVW chose not to carry, rather than syndicated fare. This is
what the crumbling schedules of WOKY-TV and WCAN-TV looked like that week, and notice the
"popularity" of whatever program "To Be Announced" was like:

Guess what? The WAS/SF game was played on 10/05/69 (17-17 tie):
http://www.pro-football-reference.co...1969/games.htm
CBS must have bought satellite time do show it live, as it would have been
a 1 PM PDT game (10 AM HST).
I wonder if NBC got sat time earlier in the day to send MTP to HNL for KHON's
12:30 PM airing? Back then I think the show was live around midday ET (it's
now live 9-10 AM ET). Or was this last week's show?

It looks like you're right. KGMB and KHON were getting programs off satellite and it turned out
that they were advertising "live via satellite" or "taped via satellite" event ads in TV Guide in
1969, but TV Guide did have a disclaimer that some live program events were subject to change.
As for "Meet The Press", it was the same day telecast.

Re: RETRO: PHILADELPHIA - FEBRUARY 1, 1995
This was 3 weeks after the WB network began programming
UPN would launch around the exact same time as WB. Imitators...
I could have sworn UPN had a Wednesday night lineup, though. Was the movie offered by the
network?
According to this press release about 9 new affiliates on this UPN Fan Page, UPN didn't begin
programming Wednesdays until 1996. They were only programming Mondays & Tuesdays.
http://mrvideo.vidiot.com/UPN/Press/002.html
That's right, "Star Trek: Voyager" ran on Monday nights, then moved to Wednesdays. Thanks!

It could be a safe bet to say that Portland's KOIN-TV channel 6 was the inspiration for the
"channel 6" that is featured on The Simpsons.
Recently when FOX had aired the The Simpsons 20th Anniversary, Matt Groening had brought up
the Portland influence on the Simpsons such as the characters of the show having the same
names as streets in Portland such as Lovejoy, Flanders and Skinner. The idea for Krusty the Clown
was based on real life Portland TV clown..Rusty Nails and Springfield Elementary School..looks
just like a real life school in Portland.
Unless I had missed something watching that special, I don't think Groening & Company had
spilled the beans as to who was the real life Portland inspiration for the character, Springfield TV
Newscaster...Kent Brockman.

One of the worst "crossover" bastardizations in animation history -- most Looney Tunes fans I
know like to pretend that this TV-movie never happened. I don't know how much money Warner
Brothers got for "loaning" Daffy and Porky to Filmation, but it was a mistake at any price. At least
they let the great Bugs Bunny keep his integrity and not be a part of this, the absolute nadir for
the studio's characters. (Though some might say that low point came years later, with "Space
Jam.") >

This is actually a one hour episode of Scooby Doo that ran under the series title "The New
Scooby Doo Movies" -- but was listed in TV Guide just as "Movie". Each episode featured some
sort of prominent guest star or stars, such as Batman & Robin.

That's correct...that's what I get for typing this before the morning coffee kicks in . Also on the
Southern Oregon stations, KOBI 5's secondary affiliation was ABC, not NBC-though as you've
seen, KOBI and KOTI in K-Falls did share a common sked for most of the day.

6:30 The Music Scene

8PM Harold Robbins' The Survivors (Series Debut)
Music/People debuted on 09/22, so this may have been the second airings of
each on a one week delay. Survivors began 09/29 so it was a week delay.
As for Judd For The Defenseless, its network LTC was Friday 09/19 at 9/8,
so this may have been KHVH-TV picking it up in syndication.
Tuesday
Thursday
Friday
Since both CBS movie nights were spoken for--and on the correct nights
(but probably a week late)--the Tuesday listing may have been a local
movie offering on KGMB-TV.

Well I rechecked the listings, and a few errors were made:
1. The Tuesday Night Movie was a KGMB offering.
2. The airings for KHVH's "Matinee Showcase", "The Golden Mask" on Thursday (October 9th)
and "The Devil's Disciple" on Friday (October 10th) should've been 3PM instead of 1PM.
And for those who were wondering, KIKU's 10PM movies were the usual english-language
offering.

Larry Blyden replaced Bill Leyden as host of "You're Putting Me On."
By that time Leyden may have realized he had cancer; he died in 1971.

That must've been a error made by TV Guide because it listed Kennedy as the previous host.

One noticable exception: No Today on KHON or Captain Kangaroo on KGMB? Was that more a
result of the time difference or a local decision?

Actually, early on, KHON did carry "Today" and had the show on its lineup in November 1968 (It
was in the ads in TV Guide), but they only aired the first hour. It must've been a local decision
because it was gone by early 1969 and would not show up again until the 1970s.
As for "Captain Kangaroo," KGMB did air that show but somehow dropped it before "Checkers &
Pogo" came on the scene in 1967.

This was a repeat from October 3, 1992, where O'Connor tore up a picture of Pope John Paul II
after her musical number, "War", declaring "fight the real enemy". Repeat telecasts (including
this one) featured the rehearsal performance instead.

A few years later after these listings Grand Junction would get its own NBC affiliate with the
debut of KKCO channel 11. Today they have the highest rated newscast in western Colorado.
Interesting that Denver's KDVR FOX 31 isn't even listed here. While Colorado Springs had ( still do
) "FOX 21", I am pretty sure at the time of these listings KDVR was available on just about every
cable system in the state outside of the Colorado Springs/Pueblo market.

KWGN 2-Ind Denver
8:00 Second Generation
This was a short-lived syndicated program produced by MTV (and syndicated by KWGN owner
Tribune) focusing on the "Young Latino" culture. This might have been one of the first syndicated
programs I saw which had nothing but direct-response/per-inquiry advertising (no major
sponsors).
KOAA 5-NBC Pueblo (and 30 Colorado Springs)

-
4:30 Prime Suspect
This was not the British series from PBS, but a half-hour weekly (produced by KNBC in Los
Angeles) in the mold of America's Most Wanted.
KJCT 8-ABC Grand Junction
11:00 Not Just News
A current-events based show aimed at pre-teens hosted by Steve Doocy (now of Fox & Friends).
The views expressed are not necessarily those of my employer.

Though oddly enough, KDVR's logo is shown in the Fox network ads in that issue

The original title of this series - when it first aired in syndication on weekday afternoons - was
"C.O.P.S." until, if I recall correctly, Fox complained...

Re: TV GUIDE. SYRACUSE, NY EDITION. 1980
Couple oddities. First, both of the Rochester full power UHFs (WXXI/21, the PBS station, and
WUHF/31, the then-new independent in the market) are omitted here even though they were
operating with high enough power to push their signal into the outer portion of the Syracuse
ADI. Secondly, why is only one of the three full power Albany network-affiliated Vs listed, when
WRGB and WNYT covered the same ground as WTEN?
Was this limited to stations that were being carried on regional cable systems, even though more
stations could punch through over the air with a normal outdoor antenna?

Good questions.
Here's a simple one. I wonder if "space" within the listings played a part. With the Canadian
stations too --- perhaps they needed to limit the issue to a certain # of channels.

I suspect the answer may amount to "force of habit." 31 was brand-new in 1980, and 21 had just
raised its power and moved to its own tower from its old side-mounted antenna on the
WROC/WHEC tower, so perhaps neither station yet had an audience in the area covered by the
Syracuse edition. I think WXXI, at least, showed up there later on.
And I suspect WTEN is there based on its old Hagaman/Vails Mills transmitter site, which would
have reached considerably more to the west than any of the other Albany stations back in the
day. (Never mind that it had been decades since WTEN had moved to the Helderbergs and shut
down the site near Amsterdam...)

Another question -- I knew that WUTR/20 had translators all over -- but never knew of the ones
in Lowville (64) and Ogdensburg (68).
What became of those allocations? Who owns them now?
Also odd that while it lists Ottawa and Desoronto....It does not list WNPI/18 in Norwood, which
was a full-power translator for WNPE.
This guide is odd-- though it hints that it stretches into Elmira, it does not list Binghamton, which
is on the same latitude. Anyone in Elmira using this guide would also want to see WENY and all
the Binghamton stations...

Elmira is mentioned in there only because WSYE 18 was then a satellite of WSYR-TV 3. Any area
that was actually within range of Elmira TV would have received the New York-Pennsylvania
edition of TVG, which listed Binghamton, Elmira and Scranton as its core markets, with additional
listings for Syracuse, NYC and at least bits of other markets depending on the year.
As for the Lowville and Ogdensburg translators, I'm not sure when they went away. Channel 68
had to have been gone from Ogdensburg by the mid-80s, when WSYT signed on. Channel 64 in
Lowville probably became redundant when WFYF 50 Watertown signed on with full power in,
what, 1987?

Why would 64 seem redundant, when all it was relaying was WUTR? When 50 became WFYF (as
full power), didn't the relay w/WUTR cease? If so that would still validate the need for the
Lowville relay. ???

It also occurred to me that WUTR's ch. 50 translator (technically in Copenhagen) is very close to
Lowville and their translator on 64 -- maybe 15 miles as the crow flies...
BUT was the 50 translator, back then, low-power, or full power? If it was full-power, it would
seem to be redundant to have a 64 right next door for Lowville -- though Lowville is in a valley, so
maybe 64 was low-power on some communications tower in the village.

All translators are low-power, by definition. The channel 50 in Watertown was 1000 watts, while
64 in Lowville, 68 in Ogdensburg and 63 in Oneonta were all 100 watts each. When WFYF signed
on as a full-power station with 100 kw, it more than covered the territory that had been served
by the old 50, 64 and 68 translators.

WUTR's translator in Lowville only purpose was to feed Ch 50 in Watertown. There were no
human beings anywhere near the translator. Only black flies and mosquitoes. The ID of Lowville
was misleading. The transmitter (translator) was actually located on a ridge to the southeast of
Lowville. It was in an extremely remote and creepy location. I would expand but am afraid the
government would be at my door. Although the Watertown translator did have some off air
viewers, It's primary purpose was to feed cable systems - same as Ogensburg & Oneonta. I speak
first hand. I was an engineer at WUTR at the time and part of my job was to service the
translators.

I tend to believe that KIEM got some of their ABC programs via b&w kinescope.
Some time ago I was listening to an old aircheck on Reelradio.com only to hear an ad for this
movie. "...Reflections In a Golden Eye...YOU CAN ONLY SEE IT AT YOUR THEATRE...IT WILL NEVER
BE SEEN ON TELEVISION...NEVER !!!
...and yet here it is..ON CBS !!!
No doubt this could be the film that started false rumors among Christian and "family" groups
that CBS would start showing X-rated adult films, not just in late night but anytime. I recall TV
Guide also doing a cover story on the rumors, as well.
...no, that was Luchino Visconti's 1969 X-rated item The Damned, about sexual and other
intrigue amongst an industrialist's family in 1934 Nazi Germany. Reflections in a Golden Eye was
released on 13 October 1967; as the MPAA didn't introduce its movie rating system until 1
November 1968, the film was long out of first-run theaters by the time it would have needed a
rating to be screened in one...

1968, the film was long out of first-run theaters by the time it would have needed a rating to be
screened in one...
Actually, I was talking about films with adult themes, whether they were released before or after
the ratings system was instituted. The film's appearance on CBS might have drawn controversy,
even though it was released before ratings began.
...I did a little checking, and I came across this note on

http://www.dvdtalk.com/dvdsavant/s1121damn.html that at least tells me I'm not the only one
who recalls that controversy being kicked off by The Damned being sold to CBS:
"The Damned was, infamously, the first X-rated film to be sold to network television; it was part
of a gigantic package of titles licensed by Warners in 1972 to the then- new CBS Late Movie. The
media inevitably made much of this, and conservatives and religious groups loudly accused the
network of attempting to air pornography. [It goes without saying that the tv version of The
Damned was heavily edited and bore little trace of the film's shocking content. I would point out,
though, that it would be impossible to delete the picture's decadent tone and narrative.] Some
affiliates declined to air the film, and CBS, which by that point probably wished it had never
heard of the movie, prefaced its single broadcast of the picture with a stern disclaimer."
I can remember when The "CBS will be showing adult films" rumor had taken another turn in the
late 70's over the rumor of the Susanne Pleshette & Tom Berenger TV movie "Flesh & Bood". Oh
the rumors such as the one where 'the son" Berenger spies then walks in on his mother
Pleshette getting it on with herself in the shower. Then there is the scene where mother
Pleshette and son Berenger had intercourse after "mommy' had got back from an orgy with her
boyfriend.
Funny thing was..these scenes really did happen, but not in "Flesh & Blood" but rather the 1979
Kay Parker/Ron Jeremy ( early role for him ) hardcore porno "Taboo". I can remember Pleshette
& Berenger both had felt the controversy was both funny..and odd. Funny how the
family/religious groups would spread such rumors about their movie without even watching the
damn thing in the first place...but "odd" because many of these very same people had described
just about every scene in...Taboo.

Re: Retro: South Georgia/North Florida Thurs, Jan 6, 1977
James Brown's show on Ch. 17 in Atlanta was called
"Future Shock." I believe sister station WRET/36 Charlotte
carried it as well.
What was on WXIA at 4 PM? In the fall of '76 I was in
Georgia and they were running "Bonanza"; by January '77
I had moved to Texas and was out of touch with Atlanta
television.
In '76 my dad was living in Florida (before he was transferred
to Dallas) and I remember him talking about watching "Mary
Hartman, Mary Hartman" one night in Miami. IIRC, the PBS
station there, WPBT, carried it. I could be wrong. Anyone
know?

WXIA was still airing Bonanza at 4 then.

Do you have the actual South Georgia/North Florida edition on TV Guide in 1977 or know
someone who does? If so, I would like to buy it.

When did this edition of TV Guide start listing the Savannah stations?
BTW, IMHO, this was the most confusing edition of TV Guide I ever saw, except for the Missouri
edition that had three Channel 6's listed.

Want confusing? Try the Montana edition -- not only do they have more than one station of
many channel numbers, there is also no rhyme and reason to the bullet schemes (Billings, for
instance had a black bullet for KTVQ ch.2, a plain white bullet for KULR channel 8, and a black
bullet with a white middle for KSVI ch.6).

The answer to you question is 1982 is when the South Georgia/North Florida edition of TV Guide
carry Savannah TV stations.

The Spokane stations seemed to be operating on
the same times as Eastern Time. With other listings
including Spokane however, those same stations
seemed to operate one hour later. Confusing, huh?

Spokane is in the Pacific Time Zone, where prime time runs in pattern with Eastern Time, while
daytime runs in pattern with Central Time. The Eastern Washington edition of TV Guide reflects
the scheduling for that time zone.
However, the Spokane TV stations were (and to some extent, still are) viewed in Northwestern
Montana, which is in the Mountain Time Zone. Listings of the Spokane TV stations in the
Montana edition of TV Guide consequently showed the schedules of the Spokane stations
pushed back an hour later because of the time difference -- with prime time programming that
starts at 8 PM PT starting at 9 PM MT.
At least one of the Spokane stations (Q6, I think) used to give both time zones in their on air
promos -- ie, "MASH, weeknights at 7 PM Pacific/8 PM Mountain".

The double-time-zone mentions were probably more for Alberta viewers, as many cable systems
in the Mountain Time province carry Spokane stations.

Re: ABC Schedule Friday, April 5, 1985
wow....that long since Benson and Mr. Belvedere were in the prime time lineup? Time flies!
Mr. Belvedere was a seriously underrated show. That episode where George (Bob Uecker) gives
that TV sports commentary about the National Anthem was priceless! Perhaps one of the ten
funniest
sitcom episodes ever!

Re: CBS Schedule Tuesday, May 30, 1978
Guess we meant NBC...I used to love when Len Waxdeck would appear on Carson with his
students. For those who don't remember, he was an LA-area high school teacher who would
bring several of his students on to do bird calls. When he'd introduce an individual who was
going on to college, he'd say, "Next fall, he will be matriculating at UCLA". It was funny to see a
dainty little girl belt out some really loud bird call, or to see a big jock do the call of a tiny little
song bird.

And NBC thinks they've got problems today??
Retro: WLUC/6 Marquette, Michigan, December 11-17, 1971
...as was promised, here is the schedule of WLUC/6 Marquette, Michigan, one of the stations
that "cherry-picked" between CBS (primary) and ABC (secondary) at the time. It also had a
secondary affiliation with NBC until WJMN/3 Escanaba, a full-power satellite of WFRV/5 Green
Bay, took to the air in 1969. The source is the Wisconsin Edition of TV Guide for December 11-17,
1971. Although that edition listed WLUC programs in Central Time, here I am applying Eastern

When did this region of Michigan finally get a primary ABC affiliate?
Not until 1983, when WJMN (and WFRV) flipped from NBC to ABC. Of course, this led to WLUC
becoming CBS primary and NBC secondary. After WJMN / WFRV flipped from ABC to CBS in
1992, WLUC became ABC first, NBC second. It wasn't until the start-up of WBKP in 1996 that
WLUC became an affiliate of one network -- NBC.

Ah, yes, the joys of life on the Canadian Atlantic Coast. Not the least of which is having to stay up
until Midnight to see the national news.

Station after CHSJ (CBAT) should be CBAFT Channel 11 Moncton (SRC) instead of CJBR. Oh, the

Interesting there's only one set of listings for the ATV stations. I believe CJCB, CJCH, and CKCW
each had their own morning magazine show at that time, each with a unique title. Perhaps that
was gone by this point.

OK this is a strange question but about Atlantic Time, how far away into the Atlantic Ocean off
the east coast one must be to leave EST in order to enter Atlantic Time? I know Bermuda is on
Atlantic Time.
Also on a similar note I wonder how far the stations along the east coast can be picked up in the
ocean? My grandfather many years ago had told me once about the time he was about 75 miles
off the coast of Atlantic City, New Jersey and on the boat there was a small B/W battery operated
TV and the only stations he was able to watch were out of Hampton Roads, VA and the Maryland
Eastern Shore's WBOC-TV but nothing from New Jersey, NYC or New England. Possible?

Atlantic Time.
Technically, AST runs from 67'30" W. to 52'30" W. Like all time zones, the legislated boundaries
can fall outside these parameters where land masses are involved, but offshore, for example,
you'd have to sail approximately this far due east from these points to hit the westernmost
longitudinal boundary of AST:
Provincetown MA -- 135 miles (215 km)
Montauk NY -- 230 miles (145 km)
Cape Hatteras NC -- 450 miles (720 km)
Jacksonville Beach FL -- 830 miles (1330 km)
A greater curiosity to me is why Newfoundland has stubbornly held on to their unusual half-hour
split time zone (UTC -3 1/2) instead of just using Atlantic Time. I know part of the reason is
history and politics (Newfoundland being a separate dominion until 1949, and to this day still
maintaining a somewhat more distant psychological identity from Canada than the other
provinces), and part geographical (their being situated in the easternmost portion of AST would
make for some pretty early sunrise/sunset times in wintertime if they adopted that time
standard), but in a world where we are accustomed, by and large, to even 1-hour differences in
time zones, it must still make for some annoyance and confusion for business types and shipping
interests, especially in this age of the global economy.

Atlantic Time.
The Quebec/New Brunswick border and Maine/New Brunswick border is where Atlantic Time
begins. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and P.E.I. are all in Atlantic Time. The Gaspe area of Quebec
to the north of N.B. is in Eastern Time.

There was a women's show at 2:30 with each station originating their own local show until the
fall of 1976, when ATV decided to alternate the 3 shows region-wide in the timeslot.

5-8*-10 Captain Kangaroo (Bay Area viewers see the Captain making a conductor's hat and train
tickets, while Reno and Sacto viewers see Mr. Green Jeans teach the Captain how to conduct a
band)
Seems that someone is at least a day, or perhaps a week, behind. Strange,
because if KPIX 5 is taking the usual CBS left coast feed, so should KXTV 10
as Sacto was also linked by Telco line, according to AT&T maps in both the
Broadcasting Yearbooks and Radio Annuals on DE's site.
OTOH, KOLO 8 (Reno) may have been limited to microwave links and/or off-air
pickups from KPIX and/or KXTV, however that should mean the same show,
unless the link was not available at that time of day, resulting in a week-old
kinnie? But Sacto airing a different Captain than SFO?

The 1:25 PM newscast on 7, 7*, 11, and 13 is ABC.
Al Mann was anchor. I know that by July 1962 this
newscast was airing at 12:55 PM, cutting off the last

five minutes of "Camouflage"; Alex Dreier was anchoring
by that time.

ABC daytime was shown at the same clock time in Eastern and Central,
as well as Pacific, as is evident in the NoCal listings thread. Mountain
was probably an hour earlier using the Central feed.
Come the end of April and the start of DST, ABC would have had three
"east coast" feeds--EDT, then CDT/EST an hour later, then CST an hour
after that. Mountain probably stayed with the CST feed as all Mountain
TV markets were on MST in 1960, and the networks of course hardly gave
the Mountain Time Zone the...time of day (pun intended).
From what was discovered about when the alternate DST feeds began in
spring 1958--that there was no special feed for PST areas--OR and WA
markets would have aired shows an hour earlier during DST in 1960.
6:20
7-10 ABC News
ABC's evening newscast was only ten minutes, not fifteen? Did ABC feed it
every ten minutes between 6:00-7:30 PM ET? Or even a 5:30 start then?

WSTV breaking-up a morning cartoon bloc for a ten minute exercise and weight loss show?
What were they thinking? ???
Also interesting that 6PM was not the Universal News Hour as it would be just a few

Was CTF the same organisation as today's TV5? As with CTF, TV5 is also a consortium of French
broadcasters, which includes the above networks (or their successors).

Sort of...the CTF was an association of French-language state-owned channels that collaborated
on programming...think of it as a French-language Eurovision, and you've got the idea

Just a minor clarification: ORTF was no longer around in 1980, having been split up into several
companies (including three separately run TV networks) five years earlier.

Re: Retro-TV Guide. Washington-Baltimore. March 20, 1974
WHFV Fredericksburg's channel 69:
Until recently very very little information was available online about WHFV. Heck most people in
Fredericksburg had no idea their city was once home of their own local TV station. But here it
is....
The story on WHFV-TV...
http://www.pmsimon.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt...ision&limit=20
Oddly enough history would repeat itself 2 decades later with Martinsburg ( West Virginia ),
Winchester ( Virginia ) and Hagerstown ( Maryland )'s WYVN FOX 60, only in their case the loss
was into the millions, not thousands like WHFV.

And to think that Springfield/Jacksonville/Quincy, Illinois' WJJY-TV was previously considered the
most notorious UHF flop of that era. This one clocked almost exactly the same number of
months on air as WJJY (20 months in both cases). BTW, about WJJY, consult this site:

In terms of drama and the amount of money lost, not too mention the rather large number of
people who ended up getting screwed, the "honor" for the biggest flop of a local TV station ever
has to go to Martinsburg, West Virginia's Flying A Communications WYVN-TV FOX 60. WYVN was
to local TV as "Pink Lady & Jeff" was to NBC. It really was that bad. From local live call-in shows
where the host was so desperate for a phone call that the host LIVE on the air ended up calling
the local Dominos Pizza just to talk to someone. The owner holding up stacks of bills in front of
the camera saying "..how in the hell am I supposed to pay for all of this..advertise on FOX 60 !!"
Then there was that live news report on FOX 60 News@Ten of the grand opening of a local
hardware store where the reporter was holding up a toilet plunger only to make a crack "...now
this is a good way to punish Helen Keller..leave this in the toilet and hide !!". BAD !! BAD!! BAD!!
WYVN chances are would had made WHFV and WJJY look like major market television.
And like WHFV and WJJY, WYVN lasted for 20 months during their FOX days before the plug was
finally pulled. Must be something about that magic number.
Oh keep your eye on You Tube as every once in awhile some clip of WYVN's fine programming
does pop up on that site. The former staff doesn't call WYVN "We're Your Valley Nightmare" for
nothing.

Re: Retro: Michigan Tues, Apr 9, 1968
By the time I was living in Lansing the time share on Channel 10 had gone away.
Just curious how that worked. Did each station transmit from their own facility, or
did they just hand off the feed and send out over the same transmitter and tower?
If they each had their own, did they do a formal sign-off/sign-on at the handover?
If they each had their own transmitter I suppose you had to go lunging for the
rotor or the rabbit ears several times per day?

The switching was done in Onondaga at the transmitter. Occassionally when NBC had a special,
like with Bob Hope or something, or a News event like assassinations, space shot or political
coverage or a sports event like football or baseball came on WMSB-TV would let WILX-TV have
Channel 10. And both stations would do a formal sign-on/off.

the ETV schedule was finished for the day? Or did each station run its FCC info back-to-back in
the morning and after the late news update at 1 a.m., with a brief segue between the two
transitions?
I would imagine such a segue at 9:30 a.m. saying something like, "This is WILX-TV, Jackson-
Lansing, ending this portion of our broadcast day. We now turn over channel 10 to WMSB-TV,
the television station of Michigan State University broadcasting programs from National
Educational Television and other sources for the educational needs of the schoolchildren of
central Michigan. WILX-TV will return to this channel at 2 p.m. Until then, have a good day."
Likewise, at 2 p.m., "WMSB-TV, the educational television station of Michigan State University,
now completes its programming day. WMSB-TV is an affiliate of the National Educational
Television network; some of the programs seen today were recorded for broadcast. Channel 10
will return to the programs of WILX-TV, your NBC affiliate, in just a moment. In the meantime,
thank you for watching and we will return tomorrow (Monday) at 9:30 a.m. with more programs
to serve the schoolchildren and the viewers of central Michigan. Have a good day."
Is that plausible, either as a segue or a formal sign-on/off? Man, what one would not give to
have an audio recording of such handovers. If I am correct, I believe this situation was the only
known time-share arrangement between a commercial and a public broadcaster in the U.S.--it
certainly was by 1968.

Mike, at 7pm after Huntley-Brinkley WMSB-TV would return for half an hour or an hour most
nights for something from WMSB-TV or NET/PBS until 1972. I do remember The Monkees being
tape delayed in both seasons by WILX-TV until Saturday afternoon/evening before NBC weekend
news and in the second and fourth seasons I Dream of Jeannie was tape delayed til Saturdays
and also NBC Saturday Cartoons played on Sundays on WILX-TV. I think WMSB-Tv was on for like
3 or 4 hours unless NBC Sports had football or something on and at 11pm on Sundays WMSB-TV
would be on for soemthing from NET/PBS.
I remember WILX-Tv going Full Time NBC in 1972, and WKAR-TV returning the same day
9/10/1972. WMSB is now an FM station licensed to Mississippi State U. at Oxford. And billboards
all over Lansing,Jackson and Battle Creek saying "Now There Are Two Full Time Network Stations
in Mid-Michigan". The ads were also in TV Guide and every Mid-Michigan newspaper.

BobbyNBC10, that info even whets my appetite further. So, there was a switchover for just 30
minutes before NBC prime time. With that, I suspect that neither station would have gone to the
trouble to provide a full transition ID spiel. Even so, I wonder how newcomers to the area, not
aware of the long-standing arrangement, would have felt when Huntley-Brinkley gave way to
documentaries on the American Indian or Julia Child's French Chef, programs even the least
sophisticated viewer would know that NBC never aired.
Still, the arrangement made sense, really, when you read about the present WKAR on Wikipedia.
According to that story (no guarantees of its veracity), Michigan State tried on UHF channel 60
back in the 1950s, but couldn't make a go of it because of technical conditions and the
converters that people would have to buy (and wouldn't, just for an educational channel that
they wouldn't watch most of the time anyway). So, with only one VHF frequency available, MSU
joined up with the new WILX to share channel 10.
Since, at the time, educational TV was just that--programming meant to aid the teacher in the
classroom--it really was not justifiable to have a full-time station for just the school hours in
those days, when one thinks about it. Also, with NBC's daytime lineup an unproven commodity
(compared to CBS), WILX got the double benefit of cutting operation expenses for part of the day
(although losing advertising) and being able to present to the FCC a sterling, spotless reputation
for providing "public service" to viewers, a requirement that other stations satisfied by running
government films after sign-on and before sign-off or local public affairs snoozefests on Sunday
mornings. One drawback would have been NBC's ire at seeing a large part of its broadcast
schedule pre-empted in the market; however, some viewers with powerful antennas probably
could have reeled in Detroit's WWJ (now WDIV) or maybe Grand Rapids' WOOD for NBC
daytime. The pre-emptions probably became a problem as the 1960s wore on and NBC became
the dominant network in the mornings (with game shows, while CBS ruled the afternoons with
soaps).
What is shocking to me is that other states and colleges didn't explore that option, instead of
insisting upon building full-power, full-time stations of their own, stations that, in the 1960s and
1970s, often sat idle for much of the day, in some cases not even signing on at all on weekends
(one example being Evansville, Indiana's WNIN, which, from a 1974 listing that I have, did not
broadcast on Saturdays, and only in the evening on Sundays). Overhead in terms of salaries
might well have been the same for either a part- or full-time NET/PBS operation, though, so
maybe that was the factor that propelled most other parts of the country toward stand-alone
ETV service.
Of course, with UHF now mandatory in all TV sets (and vastly improved in quality since the
1950s) and with PBS aggressively building a full-day network lineup, MSU decided to bail out of
the arrangement (with certain gratitude to WILX for the years of ad revenue sacrifices and heat
from NBC it endured) and go full-time again in 1972, this time for good. The explosive popularity
of Sesame Street and Mister Rogers probably was another factor--I'm not sure if the
arrangement left time for WMSB to run those on the weekdays or not; perhaps you might fill us
in on this. We know from previous posts that a parents' group actually bought time on a
Shreveport, Louisiana commercial station to run Sesame (no PBS service there at the time), so
I'm sure that if it did not run in Lansing, parents were on the warpath there as well.
Any other observations?

I do remember in the summer of 1970, or thereabouts, WILX-TV started to tape delay

Concentration, Hollywood Squares and Jeopardy! to 3-4:30pm daily before Mike Douglas came
on. I was happy when WILX started to air NBC's 3 best game shows. I guess NBC pressured them
to carry the shows.
But all of NBC's games and soaps were carried by WILX starting in 9/1972. In the 1960's the only
games from NBc WILX aired were You Don't Say and the original Match Game.

The St. Lawrence Valley Educational Television Council in Watertown, New York existed as early
as 1958, and broadcast educational programming including NET/PBS programming on WCNY
(later WWNY) 7 until 1971, when the council started its own independent PBS station, now
known as WPBS.
That's the closest situation I can think of to WILX/WMSB.

Re: Retro: Sarasota, Florida Tuesday June 7, 1983
Any weekend listings?
WTSP-10 (ABC-Tampa, now CBS)
8:00 Happy Days

"L&S&C" was the umbrella title for "L&S" in syndication while the show still aired first-run on
ABC. Or was this how it was listed in the newspaper?
WTSP had the rights to "L&S&C" around this time; they placed the show in Laverne & Shirley's
old Tuesday night time slot (the show was already off ABC since May that year), pre-empting
whatever sitcom ABC had at the time. One of WTSP's victims was "Baby Makes Five", a short-
lived sitcom that starred Peter Scolari (in between "Bosom Buddies" and "Newhart"); it was only
seen for, ironically, five episodes during April 1983. WTSP viewers never saw the series, as
"L&S&C" was seen instead -- apparently, the station management had a sixth sense for finding
hits and duds on the network, then acting accordingly.
Thanks,M.J.!.

When I lived there they were actually ID'ing themselves as "WILX-TV Channel 10, Onondaga".
Filled up the screen
almost as much as the Baycitysaginawmidlandflint stations to the east.
I know the British ITV transmitters had a very formal hand-off, sign-on and sign-off procedure
whenever the feed would hand off to another provider. Thought perhaps it was the same here.

This was not long before this station became WHNB-TV . . . while the WNBC calls were reclaimed
by NBC after May 22 for use on their New York TV and radio stations (at this point, it was still
WRCA).

Evidently, if based on the "See listings of Ch. 50" blurb for Channel 58 and the heading of this
thread, these listings would've come from TV Guide . . .

2 3 Jim Henson's Muppet Babies (IIRC, this 90-minute program also included a subprogram
called "Little Muppet Monsters")
Actually, it was all Muppet Babies -- the "monsters" aspect was back in 1985, and was cancelled
after three episodes, in which afterward, the Muppet Babies took over the Monsters' spot. They
expanded to 90 minutes after the "Garbage Pail Kids", which was to have followed the Muppet
Babies hour, was cancelled before ever airing.

2 Popeye And Son
What was this supposed to be?
Yes, this was an animated version of the series, which lasted only one season.

Apparently, a typo...the second 2 should have been a 3 (WFSB)...apparently they were airing the
syndicated version of "American Bandstand" instead of what CBS had on at that time.

Indeed, it was "AB" on 3 - an error I didn't find after the fact. Nice catch.
As listed above, 3 aired "Popeye & Son" at 7:30 AM before the regular CBS children's schedule
started, and I don't believe they ever carried CBS' "Dennis the Menace".

Oddly chances are this version of Fraggle Rock was the first time many kids had even heard of
the show. Even though Fraggle was on HBO first ( I believe 1982 ), at the time many parents
would not allow their children to watch anything on HBO thinking the channel was nothing more
that a place for sex and violence. I wonder if Jim Henson had regretted bringing the Fraggles to
HBO because of the many of parents who wouldn't allow their kids to the show only because the
program had aired on HBO.
Similar with Shelly Duvall and her Faerie Tale Theatre which had aired on Showtime. I am pretty
sure it was on Larry King way way back when Duvall mentioned how tough it was at first to get
parents to allow their kids to watch her program because they had this fear of their kids ending
up seeing naked bodies and violence since the show was airing on Showtime.

I also find it interesting that channel 11 didn't air the Giants-Jets preseason game live. No way
that ever happens now. I guess ABC might have had some sort of exclusivity clause with their
preseason game.

program had aired on HBO.
And even if they didn't mind if their kids watched HBO, there are some who couldn't afford it, or
couldn't even get it (some cities did not get cable until the late-1980s).

Gimme about a week, and I'll make an effort to do so; obviously, with the high number of
channels, it takes a great deal of time to compile.

Re: RETRO: COLUMBIA-JEFFERSON CITY-N. MISSOURI, FRIDAY, JAN. 21, 1977
Wow, a lot of memories here. Keep in mind, I was 6 at the time, so some things are a little fuzzy...
KOMU 8 (NBC)
3:30 Womans World
A locally-produced show from KOMU. Within a year or so, it would be moved to a morning time
slot, but I can't remember exactly what time...an NBC game show would be pre-empted to make
room.
KRCG 13 (CBS)
9 Sesame Street (from PBS)
I knew KRCG had carried "Sesame Street," but didn't realize they were still carrying it this late in
the decade.
7 Hee Haw (pre-empts Code R on CBS)
I didn't realize KRCG was running "Hee Haw" on Fridays at 7 at this point. However, I know they
pre-empted "Wonder Woman" with "Hee Haw" on Friday nights the following fall. KOMU
eventually picked up "Wonder Woman" from CBS and aired it Saturdays at 6PM. KRCG added
"Wonder Woman" at it's regular time either in the summer or fall of 1978.
"The PTL Club" was definitely in its heyday...running for 2 hours in the morning on both KCBJ and
KTVO. According to these listings, KTVO was also running it at night following the 10PM
news...not sure how long that lasted. I don't know when KCBJ (now KMIZ) dropped PTL, but
KTVO finally dropped in 1981 or so (I think), but still carried it once a week late Sunday nights for
a time. The show was down to an hour at that point. KTVO also dropped its noon newscast at
the same time as the weekday PTL show. As far as I know, that marked the first time that KTVO
had cleared the entire ABC daytime line-up in pattern since becoming a primary ABC affiliate in
1968.
KHQA (7-CBS) HANNIBAL
AM
7 CBS Morning News
8 Captain Kangaroo
9 Education
9:30 Studio 7
Not sure what "Education" is at 9:00. It wouldn't be long until "Studio 7" was truncated to 15
minutes and aired at 7:15AM following Chuck Kuppler's Morning Farm Report at 7. "Romper
Room" (the national version) would follow at 7:30. "The CBS Morning News" was moved to 6AM
(from the East Coast feed).
4:30 Bewitched
KHQA got a LOT of mileage out of those "Bewitched" reruns. I can't remember exactly when
KHQA started airing them or took them off (early 80s, I think), but it was on FOREVER! The
following fall, KHQA would start a 6-year love affair with "The Brady Bunch."
WGEM-TV (10-NBC/ABC) QUINCY, ILL.
3 Edge of Night
I never realized WGEM carried "The Edge of Night" from ABC. It wouldn't be long until WGEM
replaced it with "Family Feud" from ABC.

You're right, it was CST. I read the note wrong in TVG -it said "all times Central Standard, for
Central Daylight/Eastern Standard, add an hour to listings"

I guess 1977 was too early for ACN that sort of acted as a third TV network for the Maritimes,
including a morning show and newscasts during the day, and a mix of U.S. and Canadian shows
the rest of the day and evening.
The CBC would shift its schedule for Atlantic time so the late news didn't have to wait till
Midnight, as it did on CTV. However, here a hockey game was scheduled for prime time in the
East, so on this Saturday night, CBC News did have to wait till Midnight. And local news and
Provincial Affairs had to wait till 12:20.
I also notice no Newfoundland stations listed. Maybe TV Guide wasn't distributed in

Newfoundland in those days, only in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI?
And of course, Channel 5 Bangor is not listed. I suppose Channel 8 Presque Isle followed CBS's
schedule so closely, cable systems in the Maritimes didn't need to pick up Bangor's CBS affiliate.
Only sometimes did/does WAGM carry an NBC or ABC show, even though it's an affiliate of all
three networks.

TVG never had an edition for Newfoundland, nor did the Maritimes edition include any
Newfoundland channels.

The last few years, WAGM was strictly a CBS affiliate, though it does offer Fox on a digital
subchannel.

Newfoundland channels.
There was a brief attempt to list Nfld channels in the Maritimes edition in the late 70s, but it fell
apart as NTV's owner, who also ran the competing Newfoundland Herald, refused to supply
NTV's listings to TVG. Subscribers got the Maritimes edition after that- I have a 1987 Maritimes
edition in my collection with a mailing label for a subscriber in Spaniard's Bay, Nfld. A lot of the
cable channels were in common in both Nfld and the Maritimes- WLBZ and WVII were
microwaved in via Sydney in cable's early days in Nfld.

Yet Geoff Stirling, the owner of NTV and the Herald (in 1977 and today), had no qualms today
supplying Tribune Media with the NTV listings for Zap2It, while continuing to publish listings in
the Herald.

Phoenix/Tempe
Strike "Tempe" and add "Mesa."
TVG goofed this up for years in its channel grid on the first listings page.
KAET 8 was and is licensed to Phoenix, not Tempe, and always has shown
its COL correctly ("Phoenix") on the legal ID.
KTAR-TV 12 (now KPNX) was and is licensed to Mesa, but they never wanted
you to know that. It's only been the last couple of years that they finally got
got their on-air legal ID correct--showing the COL visual as "Mesa/Phoenix,"
for years previously it read "Phoenix/Mesa."

Retro: New York City, July 1, 1941 (Day one of commercial TV in the USA)
Source; New York Times, 7/1/41.
This is what TV looked llke on the first official day of FCC- licensed commercial telecasting in the
United States, with two New York City stations licensed commercially on day one (and a third
operating experimentally, which would finally get its full commercial license in 1944).
WNBT, Channel 1 (now WNBC, channel 4)
1:50-2:30 PM-Test Pattern
2:30 PM-Sign-on, then Baseball; Dodgers vs. Phillies at Ebbets Field
5:45 PM-Lowll Thomas news
8-9 PM-Test Pattern

9-10 PM; USO Program features Thomas Dewey (NYC Distirct Attorney, later Govenor of NY);
Mrs. Winthrop Aldrich;
Uncle Jim's Question Bee; Musical Revue, Bottlenecks of 1941; Truth or Cinsequences
10 PM; Sign-off
WCBW, Channel 2 (now WCBS-TV)
2:00 PM-Test Pattern
2:30-Sign-on; Dance lessons
3:15-3:30-Children's Story
7:30-Test Pattern
8:00-News
8:15-Joan Edwards, songs
8:30-Metropolitan Museum of Art, Francis Henry Taylor, speaker
9:00-Bob Edge, interviews; Paul Schreiber, Yankees pitcher. Mrs. Gwendolyn Bloomingdale
W2XWV, Channel 4 (DuMont experimental station; now WNYW. Channel 5)
12-8 PM-Tests and selected films (no other information)
A few other experimental stations were on the air in the summer of 1941--one in New York's
Capital District which became WRGB in 1942; one which became WPTZ and later KYW-TV in
Philadelphia; one which became WBKB and later WBBM-TV in Chicago; and one in Los Angeles
which became KTSL and eventually KCBS-TV. None of them were licensed commercially at the
time and only one, WPTZ, would get a fully commercial license before the start of World War II.
TV got off to a low key start in America 69 years ago...sure did build a lot, didn't it?

OK, as long as we're (good-naturedly) riffing the subject matter...
Did the Mountain Time Zone affiliates clear these shows live
three hours earlier (NYC would have been on EDT), or were
they shipped kinnies to air a week or two late? ;D
(And what about the left coast feed?)

There was one particularly gross-out moment that
first day. Actress Edith Spencer, whose radio show
"Aunt Jenny's True-Life Stories," was sponsored by
Spry shortening, appeared on-camera to do a Spry
commercial; she was, I believe, stirring the batter for
a cake, licked the spoon, then put it back in the bowl.
The calls poured in, people telling her in no uncertain
terms not to do that again.

Its been a long time but back in the 1980's I can remember when HBO had aired a show with
Dick Cavett called Yesteryear. One show had featured a segment on early TV and with Cavett
bringing up how the then networks ( NBC, CBS & DuMont ) per agreement with New York City
area churches were "not allowed" to broadcast programming at least one day of the week to
keep the family unit intact. I believe the day in question was Tuesday. How long did THAT last?
With that being said, during TV's early years I wonder if there were many communities out there
who had said "NO..we don't want it" to TV? Similar to the early days of rock n' roll with radio and
with HBO & Showtime during the 70's with cable.

I'd find it hard to believe, what with smaller cities in "flyover territory" having TV before the
freeze was lifted in 1952 (Lancaster & Johnstown PA, Bloomington IN, Ames IA, Quad Cities IA/IL
(probably the smallest market with more than one station at the time), and Huntington WV,
among others).
It wasn't just the big markets even back then.

@bpatrick....The calls were rolling in about the licked spoon? How many people had TV in their
homes? Was TV shown in a public place, and the people called later? That's interesting.

I never heard of such an agreement here in the U.S. However, Iceland for many years had such a
"TV-free" day (theirs was Thursday, IIRC) to encourage families to do something together that
evening other than staring at the boob tube. Eliminating that prohibition was quite a
controversial issue.
who had said "NO..we don't want it" to TV?
Again, not in this country, but there are notable examples abroad of conservative forces
vehemently opposing the introduction of television.
In the republic of Ireland, religious and conservative figures were very leery of television and its
potential impact on the morals of the population. Some politicos also decried the cost of setting
up a television network (the economy in Eire wasn't in great shape at the time), considering TV a
"luxury service" that the Irish people could do without. Fact was, though, that many in the
country were already using fringe antennas to pick up marginal signals from the BBC and ITV,
and it was ultimately felt that they needed to counteract this British influence spilling across
their borders.
In South Africa, opposition to the introduction of television was even more virulent and
hyperbolic, with the prime minister likening TV to atom bombs and poison gas ("they are
modern things, but that does not mean they are desirable") and their communications minister
declaring that television would only come to the country "over [his] dead body." The state Dutch
Reformed Church condemned TV as "the devils own box, for disseminating communism and
immorality." There were concerns in the era of Apartheid that imported programs might depict
"race-mixing," and make the black population dissatisfied with their lot in life. The white
government might also have taken pause at the effect TV had in covering racial strife in the U.S.
South during the sixties. (Although a state-controlled service in South Africa would certainly have
had the power to control both program choices and news coverage to their advantage.) Another
consideration was protecting the Afrikaans language and culture from the undue influence of
English. South Africa ultimately started a television service in 1976, one of the last economically
advanced countries to do so.

BTW, while we "modern" folk may laugh at the "primitive" programming in 1941, I'd still rather
watch anything on this schedule (even the test pattern) than a modern-day infomercial or reality
show. :P

Interesting comment, Stanislav:
I'd mentioned this before (May have even posted the schedule here before) but here's is the
schedule for the first full week of WJAN-TV 17, Canton, Ohio (Now WDLI-TBN) January 9-13,
1967. Like Most startup UHF stations at the time, they had limited broadcast hours (no
weekends at first) plus all Black and White Shows..Tell me you wouldnt prefer this type of
schedule on TV Land nowadays..At the time (1967) people probably said, "I'd rather watch 3, 5,
and 8 (Cleveland) than these old shows"

English. South Africa ultimately started a television service in 1976, one of the last economically
advanced countries to do so.
As far as the United States goes, No, not with TV but it was the case here in America with just
about everything else ranging from movies to radio to amusement parks to dancing. I myself
have heard the term "filthy passion pits" to describe those old drive-in theatres and of course I
am sure all of us have seen those old black&white movies from the 50's of towns trying to stamp
out that "devil's music" rock & roll. In 1957 the small town of Mount Jackson, Virginia actually
passed a law that banned not only the sell of such "trash" within the town limits but that law
was quite blunt when it came to the town's radio station WSIG-AM 790 as well "...music of this
type will not be allowed per-the town of Mount Jackson to air over WSIG radio station"..even
though, of course the town had no ownership at all when it came to WSIG.
The problem whenever any of these things are brought up today its the same when one brings
up those old "blue laws", even if such opinions/laws are out of date and had long since been
changed, they can still get one's dander up. About ten years ago on DCRTV.com someone had
brought up that 1957 WSIG 'law" only to get a flood of responses from those living in Mount
Jackson including former employees of the radio station screaming that no such rule was ever
the law there. Even the town council wrote in and agreed with them. Imagine their surprise
when they looked further only to discover this, well law was still on the books even though WSIG
had long since left that town in favor of nearby Harrisonburg. Dittos with Jersey City, New Jersey
with rock music. I have seen online posts from those who live there who deny all of it even
though there is that movie clip from the 50s showing that city's mayor ( or was it the chief of
police ?) doing just that..trying to pass a law banning rock.
I guess all of this is simply a case of "pride". A lot of people don't want their towns and cities to
come across as being "weird" by being against such things and considering that a lot of Catholic
churches accoss the country over the years often had outings at various amusement parks, I am
sure they do not want to be reminded that there was a time 100 years ago when some within
that chruch felt that roller coasters and ferris wheels were "machines of satan". Going back to
television, if there was a community someplace that tired to stop the development I am sure
that bit of info is dead and buried and that bit o'info would stay there.
I have to admit that I have always found it interesting that two of the inventors of who had made
TV a reality, Philo Farnsworth and Vladmir Zworykin seemed to have this love/hate relationship
with television in their later years. But then again it was the same with radio too with Lee
DeForest, Edwin Armstrong and Guglielmo Marconi.

You could make a looong list of things that were considered "sinful" or "morally corrupt" when
first introduced, but no one bats an eye at now. When bicycling first became popular, many were
outraged at the notion of women riding the things. Since long skirts were impractical for biking
(not to mention potentially dangerous if they got caught in the gears), and a bike could hardly be
ridden sidesaddle, it really accelerated the trend towards women wearing bloomers and other
pants-like "unladylike" garments for leisure.
One of the strangest examples is standard time. When fixed, uniform time zones were first
proposed and implemented, many of a religious bent found the notion downright blasphemous.

Better not even mention daylight-saving time, or you'll likely be branded

--Interesting how both stations signed on for a couple of afternoon shows, then signed off till
evening.
--Regarding the Lowell Thomas newscast on NBC at 5:45pm... I assume that was simply Thomas
reading his radio newscast, possibly at the same time it aired on the radio. Is my memory faulty
or do I remember Lowell Thomas on CBS Radio in the 70s or 80s? Didn't know he was on NBC in
the 40s.
--Can you imagine the expense and difficulty of televising a baseball game on the first day of
Commercial TV? Having TV cameras set up at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn and getting the signal back
to the station in Midtown? My dad says before he had a TV in his home in the 50s, he
remembers taverns and bars advertising that they had TV, so guys could go there, buy some
beers and see the game if there was no TV at home. I guess it was only when the wife wanted to
see Milton Berle or daytime soap operas that families spent the money for a TV at home.
--TV broadcasting was so novel that the newspaper even listed the Test Pattern! On early TV
Guides, they didn't list test patterns or the sign on or sign off, but if the Sermonette or Sign
On/Sign Off Newscast lasted more than 5 minutes, it would get listed in TV Guide.

--Can you imagine the expense and difficulty of televising a baseball game on the first day of
Commercial TV? Having TV cameras set up at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn and getting the signal back
to the station in Midtown? My dad says before he had a TV in his home in the 50s, he
remembers taverns and bars advertising that they had TV, so guys could go there, buy some
beers and see the game if there was no TV at home. I guess it was only when the wife wanted to
see Milton Berle or daytime soap operas that families spent the money for a TV at home.
I've read that folks used to watch Milton Berle in large groups as well. It was when people began
buying TV's for personal use that his ratings went down because the show was not near as funny
when you were watching alone or with a couple members of your family. That may have
untimately been his downfall.

5:45 PM-Lowell Thomas news
--Regarding the Lowell Thomas newscast on NBC at 5:45pm... I assume that was simply Thomas
reading his radio newscast, possibly at the same time it aired on the radio. Is my memory faulty
or do I remember Lowell Thomas on CBS Radio in the 70s or 80s? Didn't know he was on NBC in
the 40s.
...actually, Thomas started his radio career with CBS in 1930, moving to NBC in 1932 and finally
returning to CBS in 1947. He wasn't an employee of either network at the time; he was officially
employed by Sunoco, the sponsor, until 1947 and set up his own production company upon
returning to CBS. He also was noted for a gag epitaph he repeatedly claimed he wanted on his
grave marker: "Here lies a man who was heard by millions...who themselves were waiting to
hear 'Amos 'n' Andy." Thomas' program was scheduled weekdays before the serial version of
Amos 'n' Andy on the Blue Network in 1934 and both were officially transferred to the Red
Network the following year...

Those seem like interesting program choices (even for the `70's) on an ABC afilliate! Perhaps this
illustrated their status as a "minor" afilliate?-- not to have local news at 11pm.

Re: RETRO: WESTERN ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1993
Apparently, WFLD, WGN and KPLR were gone from
the Western Illinois edition by then.

WFLD, WGN, and KPLR were listed, but they were designated as "cable stations," and I only
included the broadcast stations. This edition also listed KIIN (PBS-Iowa Public Television) in Iowa
City as a cable station, but I didn't include it, either.

I was going to do the listings for Monday, March 1, but I can do Thursday the 4th. I will also
include listings for KPLR, WGN, and WFLD.

I'm not 100% sure what the actual NBC daytime schedule was like...affiliates were really starting
to make a mess of it at this point. That's why I only indicated a delayed broadcast of "Days of Our
Lives" at 2PM for WICS. I assume it went something like this:
11:00 Concentration (may have been earlier)
11:30 Faith Daniels (may have been earlier)
1:00 Another World
2:00 Scrabble
2:30 Scattergories
If anyone knows for sure, please feel free to enlighten me.

Re: RETRO: WESTERN ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1993
After checking "The Encyclopedia of Daytime Television," this was at least the "official" NBC
daytime schedule during this period:
11:00E/10:00C Concentration
11:30E/10:30C A Closer Look (Faith Daniels)
12:00E/11:00C Scrabble
12:30E/11:30C Scattergories
1:00E/12:00C Days of Our Lives
2:00E/1:00C Another World

NBC may have had alternate feeds, such as the feed that ran the afternoon soaps a half-hour late
(used forever by a number of NBC affils in the Midwest, including KWQC).
Interesting that they stuck Faith Daniels' show in the middle of a game show block.

The Western Illinois Edition also carried listings for PBS stations WTTW-11 Chicago ("11C") and
KIIN-12 Iowa City (Iowa Public Television) ("12W")--but these stations were considered "cable-
only" (although KIIN can be receivable as far east as Macomb and Galesburg).
In addition, starting in 2001 (and until the end of local listings in TVG), the Western IL edition
also carried listings for KYOU-15 (Fox) in Ottumwa, IA.

Up until this schedule, I hadn't included any of the "cable" channels in the listings I have posted.
I went ahead and posted the schedules of KPLR, WGN, and WFLD on this schedule because
classictvfan seemed to have some interest in those stations. Personally, I have little interest in
old PBS schedules, but I realize others probably do have an interest. I figured the PBS stations
that were listed as "broadcast stations" in this edition were more than enough to get a feel for
what was available on PBS at the time, although every PBS station or regional PBS network is
unique.
KIIN was listed in this edition for years. According to Wikipedia (take that for what it's worth),
KIIN signed on in February of 1970, and has always relayed Iowa Public Television. KIIN is actually
about a year and a half older than WTVP, which signed-on in June of 1971. Subsequently, WTVP
and KIIN were the only two PBS stations listed in this edition for many years. KIIN was always
listed in this edition as a "cable station," and throughout the 1970s, that meant it was
represented by a black-white combination bullet. The WIE also used to carry "cable listings" for
WSNS (Ind.) Chicago and overnight listings (Mid. to 5AM) for WBBM (CBS) Chicago. I don't own
any issues of TVG that are that old, however. I just remember the listings being there.

"McMillan and Wife" was actually 2 hours long. KPLR aired "Small Wonder" at 2:30...sorry, I
missed that.
I had also meant to note what programs were pre-empted by the "ABC Afterschool Special."
WQAD and WHOI aired the special at 3PM. WQAD pre-empted "Who's the Boss?" and "The
Cosby Show;" WHOI pre-empted "In the Heat of the Night." KTVO aired the special at 4PM and
pre-empted "Inside Edition" and "Jeopardy!"

Since Today is on at 7 AM (and not 4 AM ), this must be a
kinnie from Burbank--but was it today's Today or yesterday's?
I'm thinking by this time the El Lay facilities were up to speed on
perfecting a three-hour turnaround on a hot kinnie (think TV City
with Ed Sullivan).
The 6:30 and 7 PM sitcoms were aired on other nights on NBC.

Was this a KRON local move or the left coast schedule?
8-10:30 seems to be in PT pattern, but what is Whistler at 10:30?
No Big Town in that slot.
And...no Tonight Show kinnie at 11:30. Did it air anywhere on the
left coast then?

Wasn't Panorama Pacific (left coast version of the CBS morning show
originated at KNXT) on 8-10 AM at some point during its run? Maybe that
occurred when Captain Combat--airing at 7 PT?--began in October 1955.
The midday schedule appears to be airing live from New York, with morning
shows flipped (and kinnied) to the afternoon.
Was 6:30-7 normally 7:30-8 (in pattern)? Early here due to boxing, et al,
airing live (10 ET/7 PT). Speaking of the boxing telecast (at 7), I could
imagine Billy Carter getting into the ring, but Jimmy? ;D
Godfrey and Secret in pattern, but Dragnet reruns cover Millionaire
at 9 PM. Mr. Tipton may have shown his displeasure of this move by
never sending Marvin Miller to Frisco with a check.

Mt. Diablo, not Stockton? Wasn't Diablo the actual tower site (paging

[/quote]
KOVR had its transmitter on Mt Diablo from 1954-1957 when it joined ABC.Until then KCCC 40
was Sacramento's ABC affilate.In 1957 KCCC went dark and came back in 1968 as KTXL
As for KTVU 36 Stockton, so many things seem wrong but KTVU 2 didnt sign on until 1959
Dateline Diablo on the KOVR Schedule makes me wonder if it was a channel targeted at the east
bay at the time

Re: Salt Lake City, Friday December 3, 1976
Now, I think KSL was the second station in the nation to have a 10:00/11:00 pm newscast
expanded to 35/40 min. at the time I know in the WDIO videos from 1973 that were posted on
Youtube that had a newscast for about 35/40 min. long, which was unusual. I bet they were the
first, I think.

Hmmmmmm,, what is missing from these listings? NO CARTOONS !!! Yes these are Friday listings
and not Saturday or Sunday, but for a market without their own independent station ( at the
time ) not a single station in the market offered at least one or two cartoons for the children,
very unusual.
I wonder if the lack of cartoons and other than KUTV's Little Rascals and the PBS offerings, the
lack of afternoon children's TV in Salt Lake City had to do with the Mormon community? Not
saying that the Latter Day Saints are against cartoons, just that perhaps the lack of such
programming is KUTV-KTVX-KSL's way to get the local mormon children( and kids of other faiths
as well ) to go outside and play and be more active and not spend their free time in front of the
set.

I think it has more to do with supply, with only five stations at the time -- three commercials and
two publics, and not enough time to pick up everything available. It wasn't until KSTU opened in
1978 that an expansion of programming came to Utah.

Some quick thoughts...
--Why is Channel 5 listed as part of the MBA Network? Is the M Metromedia, the owner? I didn't
include it in these listings but Channel 43 Bridgeport CT is listed as ABC and Dumont. I thought 5
was Dumont too in those days.
--There were two American Bandstands on ABC... one with Jim Loinsbury at 3, one with Dick
Clark at 4.
--Joe Franklin's Memory Lane was on 7 at 12:30pm. It later moved to 9 where it ran many years
late at night. And Franklin is still active, doing celebrity interviews for WBBR Bloomberg Radio.
--Didn't know Shari Lewis had a weekday 9am show called Hi Mom. Is that local or network? I
suppose it didn't last long, although her weekly Sat. morning show was on NBC many years and
later she was on PBS.
--Ch. 9 doesn't sign on till 1:45, 11 at 2pm, 13 at 2:30... and here 13 is still a commercial
independant station.
--Walter Cronkite has only a five minute newscast at 1pm. I suppose Douglas Edwards was still
doing the CBS Evening News, although he's not listed at 7:15pm.
--Channel 4's Gabe Pressman is still doing political analysis for the station to this day. He's listed
as the 6:30pm newscaster.
--Is the host of CBS's Verdict Is Yours at 3:30 the same Jim McKay who was a longtime ABC
sportscaster?
--Didn't know Alan Freed had a daytime teen dance show on Ch. 5 at 5pm. He was a DJ on 1010
WINS credited with coining the phrase Rock and Roll.
--Ch. 9 repeats the same movie at 7:30 and 10pm. The Million Dollar Movie repeats two or three
times a day all week long. What was the theory in that? Didn't 9 have enough movies in its
library?

Re: Retro: NYC Tues. Aug. 26, 1958
A few things:
- "MBA" might have been a reference to what Channel 5's owner was called by this time -
Metropolitan Broadcasting Corporation. (Don't know what the A stood for, though.) The DuMont
network was dead since 1955-56, and it was a few months prior to these listings that the board
of what in the interim was the DuMont Broadcasting Corporation (with the two remaining
stations, WABD and Washington, DC's WTTG, recast as independents) voted to change its name
to the Metropolitan Broadcasting Corporation. (And it was in over a week after these listings - on
Sept. 7 - that Channel 5 became WNEW-TV, in part to further distance itself from its DuMont
past, and also to conform the calls to its 1130 AM sister station and their just-started FM outlet
at 102.7 which signed on about Sept. 1.)
- From what I could tell, Hi Mom was local. Shari didn't last long, later on the Ritts puppets were
the hosts. It lasted until about 1960-61.
- Million Dollar Movie ran the same movie all week - twice a night, plus "matinee" showings on
weekends - from its 1954 debut up to September 1968. (Some weeks had what they called
"album weeks" on which a different film was shown every night - but at this point, such times
were rare.) After revamping its weeknight lineup sans "M$M" with the new syndicated What's
My Line?, The Steve Allen Show, Twilight Zone reruns and a local-based talk show, Sound Off!
hosted by Malachy McCourt, WOR by October 1968 ditched the McCourt show, moved TZ
elsewhere in the schedule and restored M$M, reconstituting it as running a different film each
night as it would remain until it finally ended by the late '80's. I think the theory behind WOR's
programming M$M as from 1954 to '68 was they were treating the films as they would at a
movie theatre which ran the same films for a fixed period. A few other WOR movie shows had
this same theory (the 1960's late-afternoon/early evening Movie of the Week, and two movie
programs from the 1970-71 season - one in the late morning, one in the early afternoon [can't
say which title each such series went by] - that ran the same movie all week - except the movie
at 10 A.M. was different from the one at 1 P.M.). I'd say WOR's film library, at its peak, was
roughly half what WCBS had at its disposal (I think Channel 2 had about 2,000 films in its library
at one point).
- From the late 1950's until 1962, WPIX had educational programming until 2 P.M. - after the
1961-62 school season ended, Channel 11 expanded its broadcast day to start at 8 A.M., while
the educational shows moved to what was transformed into non-commercial WNDT.
- And shouldn't it be Jim Lounsbury, and the J-A did a typo? By the early 1970's Lounsbury was
doing occasional sub-announcing work for both WABC-TV and WOR-TV - while working in radio
exclusively for UPI, anchoring news hourlies. There's a clip on YouTube of a Channel 7
commercial break from Aug. 11, 1973 where Lounsbury was heard over the "zooming 7
animation" ID, promo'ing an upcoming edition of Like It Is.
- In those days WABC ran movies in AM and PM times (as The Morning Feature and The
Afternoon Show, respectively); both shows ended in fall 1958 when ABC debuted its first
daytime lineup.

Definitely local. The 9-10 AM ET hour was local for the east coast, as that
is when NBC refed the first hour of Today to the Central Time Zone,
where 7 CT was the second hour live and 8 CT the first hour refeed.
And speaking of shows with refeeds, where is Captain Kangaroo at 8 AM on
channel 2 (CBS)? The show was probably still being done live, so maybe
he was on vacation that week? Here too, CBS did a refeed of the show
9-10 AM ET for the midwest (and a few ET stations that carried it at 9).

Another point: The film Channel 5 showed at 11 P.M. was under the Five Star Movie banner. The
program started originally as an ostensible summer replacement for Night Beat which, in its final
year on the air, was hosted by John Wingate; alas, come the fall, Five Star Movie remained
(cheaper to show old movies, apparently). That title ended up becoming famous for being the
first of a group of Sunday afternoon movies, where it would hold into the 1980's.
Their 10 A.M. skein was The 10 O'Clock Movie; the 1:30 repeat was as the Late Lunch Movie.
Both titles remained in place well into the mid-1960's. I think the 9 P.M. movie was called the
After Dinner Movie at this point.
As for Freed: It was around this point that his run at 1010 WINS ended, and he soon joined
WABC (770 AM) in the period before it was moved full-time to Top 40. He lost both his WABC
and WNEW-TV Big Beat jobs in 1959 in the wake of the payola scandals.
And oh yes, the Verdict Is Yours host was indeed the same one who later became famous for
ABC's Wide World of Sports.
Furthermore, notice The Honeymooners on Channel 4? That station was the first to run the
"Classic 39" in syndication, on Tuesdays during the 1957-58 season. It was in the fall of 1958 that
the Kramdens and Nortons first took up permanent residence at (and on) WPIX (Channel 11).
It should also be noted that WOR was the first New York commercial independent VHF station to
air in color, starting in 1960; WPIX didn't start airing in color until spring 1965, and WNEW was
the last to do so, that fall.

At least the Cops lead-in is more fitting- some of the people on Springer have likely been on Cops

Re: Retro:Orlando, Thursday, October 23, 1986
Channel 9: Wow, not only is it odd seeing Oprah's show airing in the morning, but to see her
eventual 4 PM slot reserved for one of two daily airings of "Jeopardy!" (That changed real quick,
I imagine...)
Channel 35: So by virtue of them carrying Joan Rivers' late night show, they were designated in
the newspaper as a "Fox" station? (Despite carrying "INN News"?) By the way, look at that
schedule - not a single infomercial. We've come quite a long way, haven't we?

TV Guide Orlando Edition for 2 weeks before actually. But it answers the question of what
WMOD TV 43 melborne looked like at that point. Home Shopping expanded on that station right
after Christmas to 10 AM-3 PM. That Spring of 1987, WMOD was Home Shopping until 3 PM,
cartoons 3-5, sitcoms and drama shows 5-8 PM, a movie at 8. more sitcoms and dramas 10-
12MID. That Summer, the station was HSN 18 hours a day with only 6 hours of programming a
day, an hour of cartoons, a couple hours of drama shows, an hour or so of sitcoms, and a movie.
Press sold the station to Home Shopping Network that February of 1988. Press then kept the
programming and bought more of it and signed on channel 68 closer to Orlando as WKCF
November of 1988. Their plan was originally to hold onto WMOD until they could put 68 on the
air but when they ran out of funds, they had to raise revenue so they affiliated WMOD with HSN.
When they still did not have the funds to completely build WKCF, they sold WMOD completely
and the intellectual programming unit went dark and was replaced on 43 with HSN until the new
channel could sign on. NOT IDEAL but in the end the WMOD unit would survive as WKCF
And ch. 43 itself would be resurrected as WOTF, a Telefutura affiliate.

Channel 43 never went dark. Just the intellectual programming unit of WMOD-TV eventually
went dark in the spring of 1988 after being on the air 24 hours then 19 hours a a day in the fall of
86, 14 hours a day by January of 87, to 9 hours a day by April of 87, to only 6 hours a day by that
summer. The rest of the day was Home Shopping Network programming. So Channel 43 ran HSN
programming 24/7 except for a few hours of religious, public affairs, and a couple kids' shows
Sunday mornings. It would be in january of 2002 that the station would take on a Spanish
Telefutura format. Press Broadcasting was at work getting Channel 68 built and put the WMOD
unit there with the WKCF calls.
The problem with Channel 43 was it was in melborne and 45 miles from Orlando straight line
and about 65 miles from Orlando driving. As a result, Orlando had a grade B signal for Channel
43 which meant that people without cable would need a roof antenna to recieve the station
while recieving the other stations with just an indoor antenna. Daytona Beach is also 40 miles
from orlando but driving would be about 60 miles away. From Melborne, Daytona is about 70
miles away and had no signal for Channel 43 while getting other Orlando stations clearly even
without a roof antenna. So Channel 43 was unable to do well with its format even with a decent
line-up. Channel 56 WAYK had an even worse signal and had a very weak lineup. That station
eventually became Pax-TV and then ION TV.
So Channel 68 enabled Press Broadcasting to have a grade A signal in all three cities in orlando.
Still the signal in Melborne was weak due to Channel 68 being high on the dial. So in 1991, WKCF
moved from Channel 68 to Channel 18 and PBS moved their second station from 18 to 68. As we
know, WKCF eventually became the WB station, was sold to Emmis, became the CW station,
then sold again.

So in 1991, WKCF moved from Channel 68 to Channel 18 and PBS moved their second station
from 18 to 68.
The swap, made with Brevard Community College's WBCC (may have still been WRES-TV at the
time) involved, as I understand it, a substantial donation of cash and equipment to BCC that
enabled them to build out their formerly tiny, flea-power operation into a solid public station.
WBCC is one of 3 public stations in the Orlando market (several markets have two; few have
three) and with the transition to DTV, and the channel changes and different spacing required,
WMFE-TV, WBCC, and Daytona State College's WDSC are now all transmitting from the same site
east of Orlando.

The Press Broadcasting unit that owned WMOD... is it related to the Press Communications that
owns several radio stations in New Jersey?

I think it was -- it was named after the Asbury Park Press, one of the state's leading newspapers,
though the newspaper itself is no longer part of the family (Gannett bought it in 1997).

YES
The Press Broadcasting unit that owned WMOD-TV and then WKCF 68 and then WKCF 18 is the
same company that owned a bunch of stations in New Jersey and Asbury Park Press.
They sold a few of their stations to Nassau in 1997 and sold remaining ones to Millineum
Broadcasting in 1998. Then they bought several other stations. Eventually Millineum bought the
Jersey Shore Nassau stations and then sold one of them to Press Broadcasting.
Also Press owned a TV station in Vineland, NJ 30 miles from Philadelphia. The station was
Channel 65 and served the Philadelphia market. They owned them and ran them as WSJT from
Juneof 1985 to January of 1987. Since the stronger shows were owned by 17 WPHL and 29
WTAF/WTXF, and the remaining shows were bought by Grant Broadcasting to put on Channel 57
for October of 85, WSJT was stuck with low budget shows from teh 1950's such as Donna Reed,
Life Of Riley, Bachelor Father, Suzie, Anne Southern, Our Miss Brooks, December Bride, among
others. After this format failed, Press sold the station to Home Shopping Club and the station
then sold to USA Broadcasting and then to Univision. Today WSJT has a Spanish format.

And given how smooth jazz stations have fallen by the wayside recently, it won't be long before
that station changes its format (and call letters)...

Re: Retro: Northern Florida Thurs, Apr 23, 1964
I have some Central Florida Edition TV Guides from the '60s
and I've never heard of Orlando's Ch. 6 cutting off the last
five minutes of "Guiding Light" to air "Bachelor Father." Could
the St. Pete Times have made a typo here?

I'd say that's likely possible, with Bachelor Father airing at 1; I just posted what the Times listed .
Their listings were somewhat convoluted, with the Tampa Bay stations in a vertical grid and the
out-of-market stations listed in the traditional log format.

I guess it did. MPBN really had a short daily schedule in those days. I don't know if that was
before pledge drives started on MPBN.
For the record, this was the final Saturday that CKCD had a CBC affiliation. Starting October 9,
1976, CKCD was exclusively CTV/ATV.

In 1979, the three main ATV stations (Halifax, Sydney, Moncton) had their own locally produced
versions of ATV News, and as indicated here it was a full hour long. By 1981 the newscasts were
amalgamated into a single regional report from Halifax, and it was reduced to a half hour.

The schedules for the SRC stations in Moncton and Rimouski are exactly the same, even though
they're in different time zones. Even though the Rimoutski station is privately owned (no CB-- call
letters), it still follows the SRC schedule exactly. Maybe the station does a local insert in the 6pm
and 11:30 news. SRC viewers in the Maritimes have to watch the Eastern time zone feed. The
SRC doesn't make allowances in 1979 for Atlantic time, although the CBC does.
The CBC didn't know what it was going to run on this Monday evening at 9. But it knew it would
take three hours, pushing the late news to midnight. The only American shows on the schedule
of CBC-owned stations that day were Search for Tomorrow, Edge of Night, Partidge Family, All in
The Family and Mary Tyler Moore. Privately-owned CBC stations ran the Gong Show (ugh!), Merv
Griffin, Match Game, Edge of Night, Flipper, Family Fued and Hawaii Five-0. There's also a show
called Linus. Not sure if that's Linus from the Peanuts comics, which might make it American. I
don't count Sesame Street because there was a good deal of Canadian content in the CBC
version of that show.

Not always, though. The 6 to 8 P.M. slots on the weekdays tended to differ, and as will be the
case from fall of '79 onward, CBAFT preferring to air its local news programming at 6 or 6:30
while the Quebec stations still aired dramatic or documentary programming (Femme Bionique,
Cosmos: 1999, La Vie Secrete des Animaux, Incroyable Hulk, etc.).
The CBC didn't know what it was going to run on this Monday evening at 9. But it knew it would
take three hours, pushing the late news to midnight.
It was probably hockey playoffs. TV Guide tended not to receive the exact teams to be shown
until well after printing.
The only American shows on the schedule of CBC-owned stations that day were Search for
Tomorrow, Edge of Night, Partidge Family, All in The Family and Mary Tyler Moore.
About normal for the time. Of course, a normal prime-time line-up would include a further
serving of American programs.
Privately-owned CBC stations ran the Gong Show (ugh!), Merv Griffin, Match Game, Edge of
Night, Flipper, Family Fued and Hawaii Five-0.
CHSJ tended to get its Hawaii Five-O off of CBHT, videotaping it to air at a time of CHSJ's
choosing, and Edge of Night directly off the CBC feed (CBHT again, probably).
There's also a show called Linus. Not sure if that's Linus from the Peanuts comics, which might
make it American.
Linus the Lionhearted, with Sugar Bear, Lovable Truly, and So Hi the Chinese Boy. Definitely
American.

I think CJBR was a transmitter of an SRC-owned station in Matane, or was it vice versa?

CJBR was, and still is, an SRC-owned station, but in Rimouski. CBGAT, a former station of its own
but later a repeater of CJBR, is the SRC outlet for Matane.

CHSJ used to air a program slide with an announcement along the lines of "The following
program has been recorded from an earlier network broadcast for presentation at this time. At
one point, they ran Sesame Street at 9am on a 1-day delay, choosing to run other delayed CBC
programs in the 11-noon slot.

Sometimes CHSJ did that. Other times not. CHSJ would air Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour on a
1-week-delay from the CBC and tout it as a CHSJ program, no mention of CBC. Much like was
done with the live CBC broadcast of Walt Disney, which CHSJ would say is brought to the viewers
by Irving Oil. It was easier for CHSJ to insert its own commercials over the network ones when a
show was videotaped and aired sometime later, than it was to insert commercials live in CBC
breaks. Of course, this wouldn't have applied to Sesame Street as there were no commercials in
that.

And IIRC, didn't Leslie Nielsen voice ads for Irving at one time? I seem to remember an Irving ad
during Disney that was promoting their gas, and I swear that looking back, it was Nielsen vocing
it

It could well have been Leslie Nielsen. He's been by this way a number of times. Are you sure it
wasn't Don Armstrong, who, along with Ann Ramey, was the voice of CHSJ?
Pretty certain...I remember what Don sounds like, pretty certain it wasn't him. And didn't Grace
Craft also do some VO work as well?

CJBR at the time has been recently acquired by Radio-Canada from Telemedia.

Don't think I'm familiar with her. It's possible. Always will remember Don Armstrong, "... on C-e-

And speaking of Don ...

This page features one of the last versions of the CHSJ-TV sign-on, including 2 missing sets of
calls and a bung-up of the community name hosting the station's oldest relay ;D-our man Don
does the VO. Look under CBAT-TV New Brunswick. Also look for some old-skool ATV under the
CTV Local Affiliates Section as well.

Shouldn't the 3:30 show be "Police Academy" (the animated series)? "Police Story" was an hour-

Yes, Sally taped her "talk show" at the WTNH-TV studio for a time, red glasses and all...This was
before WTXX-TV became the sister to WTIC-TV...WVIT-TV channel 30 is actually New Britain, not
Hartford...I think Arsenio went to WTNH in 1992-93...I believe Perfect Strangers was only in
syndication by then.
Did these listings come from the New York Metropolitan Edition of TV Guide? They listed
channels 3, 8, 20, 30 and 61. I ask because WSBK was never listed in that one. Lastly, WCTX-TV
(MY) channel 59 of New Haven was never carried in that edition for some reason (they weren't
on the air in 1990, though).

The Arsenio Hall Show aired on WFSB at 11:30 from January 1991 (I think) until the Fall of '93,
when CBS got David Letterman. Arsenio then moved to WTNH and ran at 12:30 for his final
season.

Wow. I don't remember Arsenio running on WTNH, ever... then again, his final season was a
foggy memory to most, anyway...

I'm also curious about WSBK 38 Boston listings in the NY Times. Maybe that was only in the
Connecticut edition? I don't remember the NY Times ever listing WSBK in the TV program guide I
saw in the NYC area.
Of course, in those days, WSBK was a superstation in the Northeast. Because they carried the
Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins, they were on just about all New England cable systems plus some in
Canada, NY State and NJ as well. My friend in Syracuse got it on his cable system and the channel
even got on some systems in the NYC suburbs.

Perhaps it was a New York Newsday TV Week listing? If I recall, those included not only the
Connecticut stations in addition to the New York City stations, but also WSBK and low-power
W44AI, too!

Re: Retro: Spain, Thursday, April 9, 1992
Very interesting Eduardo.
Some questions...
--Nobody went 24 hours of programming, even in 1992? Several stations didn't even sign on till
late morning or early afternoon.
--Are the last three stations, TV3, TVG and ETB-2, broadcasting in a dialect, not standard
Spanish? Are all these stations available nationally or are some just in sections of Spain?
--Funny that some of the American and British shows keep their English names... Murder She
Wrote, Falcon Crest, or did you just translate that for us?
--Do TVE 1 and 2 try to offer more sophisticated or cultural shows, similar to the BBC, which tries
to balance popular programs with high-quality offerings? I assume like the BBC, TVE 1 and 2 are
government supported but also run commercials?
--The only show from Spain I'm familiar with is F.O.Q., which has English subtitles on You Tube.
It's a high-school based serial. Even though it has a big teen audience, the language and subject
matter is much racier than would be found on American television, even that seen late at night.

late morning or early afternoon.
--Are the last three stations, TV3, TVG and ETB-2, broadcasting in a dialect, not standard
Spanish? Are all these stations available nationally or are some just in sections of Spain?
--Funny that some of the American and British shows keep their English names... Murder She
Wrote, Falcon Crest, or did you just translate that for us?
--Do TVE 1 and 2 try to offer more sophisticated or cultural shows, similar to the BBC, which tries
to balance popular programs with high-quality offerings? I assume like the BBC, TVE 1 and 2 are
government supported but also run commercials?
--The only show from Spain I'm familiar with is F.O.Q., which has English subtitles on You Tube.
It's a high-school based serial. Even though it has a big teen audience, the language and subject
matter is much racier than would be found on American television, even that seen late at night.
First of all, thanks for reading my post
1) It looks like at that time no channel had 24-hour programming, maybe Telecinco actually did
it, but it seems the newspaper ran out of space to put the complete schedule.
2) TVG and TV3 broadcast in local languages (Galician and Catalan, respectively). ETB-2 is a
Spanish-language channel, but it has a sister station called ETB-1, which is Basque-language
programming all day.
3) The names were translated by me
4) TVE-1 shows mostly entertainment programming, blockbuster movies and news. TVE-2 shows
mainly documentaries, educational programming, cartoons and sports. TVE had commercials
until December 31, 2009. Now it's 100% commercial free, dounded by a tax on the private TV
stations, besides of goverment funding.
5) Spanish TV is certainly more liberal than American TV. However, I'm pretty sure my country's
TV (Argentina) is even more liberal. We even have "The Nanny" and "The Benny Hill Show"
passed as children's programming!

So was the 2:20 newscast any different than the 5:30 and 10 PM newscasts?
By the way, I like how the instructional programs for the PBS station are listed. "The Write
Channel" - I remember that fondly. "Palabra jot!"
And to think that none of the network affiliates had a single minute of morning news thirty years
ago! Hard to believe.

Rerun? I haven't even heard of it when it aired the first time! Was this a syndicated soap opera?
It was one of CBS's afterschool specials at the time -- don't know what they were called, but I
don't think they used the "Schoolbreak Special" name until later in the 1980s.
As for the special itself -- I recalled seeing it in middle school on 16mm film in the early-1980s.

Is this the same Don Wilson who was the announcer for Jack Benny? If so, then this is the perfect

I think Don Wilson (the same who was Jack
Benny's announcer) owned or co-owned that
station. Wouldn't surprise me if Benny's show
was a regular feature on the station.
A bit of irony about the Ted Mack Talent Search:
it may have been his last appearance, since he
passed away July 12, 1976. He had been approached

about hosting a new-talent segment on John Davidson's
NBC summer show that year but apparently cancer
prevented that from happening. It's also ironic that
Mack died just a few weeks after the premiere of a
show satirizing his format: "The Gong Show." I'd have
loved to hear his thoughts on that show.

KHJ Channel 9 L had ROmper Room? I thought 13 KCOP had it. It was KHJ's then sister station
WOR-TV New York that had Romper Room. KHJ TV had Froozles. Or did this change some time in
1976 or 77. On one retro schedule both KHJ and KCOP had Romper Room. So I am unsure that
KHJ having ROmper Room was accurate.
Channel 40 had PTL Club? Are you sure? I believe TBN never had Jim Bakker's PTL Club. Jim
Bakker left TBN by 1974 and started the PTL CLub in Charlotte late that year. Paul Crouch did
have a show called Praise The Lord. Maybe that was the show not PTL Club...Two different
shows. It would be unusual for TBN to carry PTL being Bakker left abruptly. I know in the late 70's
until 1987 TBN Carried niether PTL or 700 CLubs. They added 700 Club fall of 1987. But I believe
TV 40 had Praise The Lord in the slot PTL Club was listed in.

Romper Room did air on KHJ at that time. As for PTL, based on what you've said, 40's show could
very well be Crouch's show, though TVG used "PTL Club" for both Crouch's and Bakker's shows.

A shout out to bpatrick to ask is this still ET clock time (not CT) for the ABC
daytime schedule on the left coast? I just can't recall Janitor Hospital ever
being on at 4/3.
And was Edge really in a midday slot or was noon a local hole and the soap
actually at 3:30 (ET?) and thus airing a day behind?

Actually it's neither ET clock time, which ABC had
used on the West Coast prior to 1974 when KABC
and KGO started 5 PM newscasts and moved their
movies to 3:30, nor CT. ABC had a different feed for the
West Coast until the late '70s, IIRC, when it finally
started duplicating Central Time. The Eastern feed
was:

According to the Los Angeles Times, the West Coast ABC feed changeover took effect Monday,
April 1, 1974 (but it was no April Fool's joke). That was the point at which KABC's The 6:30 Movie
became The 3:30 Movie. Presumably, KGO's daily movie changed times that same day.

I had to note the presence of The Sam Yorty Show at 9:00 on KCOP 13. He had been the three
term Mayor of Los Angeles, and was out of office by 76. He was a right-wing Democrat (if you
can imagine that outside the South), and famously beat Councilman Tom Bradley in 1970 or 71
by reminding voters constantly that Bradley was a "Negro," and implying that he must have ties
to Black radical groups like the Black Panthers.
Yorty won, but Bradley beat him 4 years later. Yorty's first talk show was on KHJ-TV in the late
60s, while he was still Mayor. As a TV talk host, Yorty was surprisingly adept.
Fans of Roger Ramjet may remember the villain Professor Mayoryorty...a parody of Sherlock
Holmes' Professor Moriarty.
http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/time/2273-1.jpg
b or wb:
Was there ever an explanation from ABC as to why they used
such a convoluted left coast pattern?
Since ABC daytime ran from 10:30 AM-3:30 PM PT, they could
have easily gone to a CT clock time schedule with their change
in 1974.
I can only justify one timeslot, and that's if Break The Bank was
a live show (although by '74 I'd doubt it) and ABC also wanted
it to air live on the left coast (2:30 ET/11:30 PT).
As it is, with this PT schedule there were still four shows airing on
ET clock time plus two on CT clock time; the other four winding up
at times not in either pattern.

I never knew why ABC's Pacific feed was like this.
"Break The Bank" was not live.
I remember that "The Money Maze" aired at 4 PM
(ET)/11 AM (PT) about a year before, and I believe
"The Big Showdown" aired at the same time in all
four time zones: 2:30 (ET)/11:30 (PT). But again,
I don't know if ABC ever explained it; if they did,
I never saw it in a Los Angeles or San Francisco
newspaper.

I don't know if the name ever officially changed to just "News," but when the 11:30 pm news
following "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" began it was called: "MetroNews, MetroNews." ;-)
Also, it was done with two anchors sitting at desks and done in a light hearted manner. (This is
done from memory of an article in Broadcasting magazine, and as a visitor to LA and being able
to see an episode or two.)

By the way, those are wonderful schedules of a better time in TV viewing. Oh for a return to that
type of programming philosophy.

KTTV's 10:00 News was titled "MetroNews"....I assume because it was a MetroMedia station. At
11:30 following Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman was "MetroNews, MetroNews." It wasn't meant
to be a regular newscast. I only saw it once or twice, but I recall that they took a satirical tone.

The MetroNews title may well have been due to the Metromedia connection . . . and within a
few years of this date, The 10 O'Clock News title (already in use at KTTV's sister stations WTTG in
Washington, DC and WNEW-TV in New York) would be taken by KHJ-TV. (Wasn't KTLA's newscast
called the News at Ten?)

Re: KTLA News at 10
I don't know when it started but I noticed they kept that title for many years. I see where it was
dumped a year ago or so for whatever they called it now. Stan Chambers used "News at Ten" as
the title for his books.

I know in the late 70's until 1987 TBN Carried niether PTL or 700 CLubs. They added 700 Club fall
of 1987.
I dunno, but I remember TBN carrying The 700 Club as early as 1984. I lived in Phoenix from
1983-85 and was young enough to recall this.
I do know though that KJNP-TV in North Pole/Fairbanks has always aired 700 Club since day one
(they signed on in December 1981).

StL took 4h 46m and 17 innings to defeat NYM 4-3 that night. How did ABC's left coast stations
handle the tape delay that night, given how the game unfolded?
Also, did MNB ever air live in Mountain Time?
I turned 15 in 1976 and remember MNB had irregular (less than weekly) scheduling similar to
CBS's Saturday baseball in the early '90s. Also, ABC's MNB ended on Labor Day night, just as
NBC's MNB did when the Peacock had the rights 1971-1975. All IIRC.

I can't speak for the entire MST zone, but I believe all sports is played live and not tape delayed
on TV. I can't think of any instance where there was a tape delay.
At least on TV. Back in the early 70s a local news talk sports station delayed the Monday-Friday
broadcasts of the Los Angeles Dodgers when they had road trips to the east coast. The
broadcasts would start at 4: 30 pm local time, and the station delayed the start to 6:05.
A friend of mine working at an MOR station would give out scores and mention the Dodgers
game. A listener called in to say the game hadn't started yet, but was told that the game was
underway the station was just tape delaying the broadcast.

*Amazins*, managed by Joe Frazier (no, not that one) won that game 4-3, not the Redbirds.

That was on Global in Ontario for a long time, usually at 6 AM weekdays.
First Radio Parish? Do they worship radio there?

An earlier schedule I saw showed North Shore/Miramichi getting a split-fed signal for local
programming while Saint John/Moncton got network programming.

IIRC ATV was showing at weekdays at 12:30 at one point...ATV's midday news used to air at 1pm
(hence the News 1 title, long before CTV ever got their hands on it ;D) and they usually aired
cartoons in the noon to 1 hour.

http://www.dailydevotions.org/info.p...=23&info_id=83 gives the history, it started out on radio

way back in 1926 in Portland, starting TV in the 50s. They still air to this day on both WLBZ and
sister WCSH Portland, as well as airing programs on AFRTS, Odyssey Networks, and 3 Maine
radio stations, as well as having a Facebook page.

Maritime papers used to carry the listings with the Southern NB show listed at, say, 2:00 with a
subsequent listing at 2:01 of the Northern show marked as "North Shore/Miramichi viewers
only". In its last years before the takeover, CHSJ eventually ran the Northern shows
provincewide. And even sister MITV, which would sign on in September '88, got into the act with
North Shore Magazine (another North Shore/Miramichi-targeted show) airing across NB on
Sunday mornings.

It was actually based on a Robert McCloskey book called "Homer Price". Actually, I'm surprised
Groening hasn't adapted that short story for a Simpson episode; it has so much potential.

Re: RETRO: Milwaukee- 10/7/1997
Thanks for taking the time to post this, Capemill.

With regard to WVTV-18, I did some digging and the station joined The WB network in March
1997. Thus, at this point the channel had been an affiliate more than half a year. Prior to March
1997, Milwaukee viewers subscribing to cable were able to watch The WB on WGN's satellite
feed. WGN Superstation (as it was called at the time) ceased carrying WB programming from the
Chicago mothership in fall 1999.

Where are the listings for WMVS 10 (PBS), WVCY 30 (not that I really care about this station),
WMVT 36 (PBS), and WPXE 55 (PAX)? Whenever I picked a Milwaukee Journal Sentinal, it had
the listings for all Milwaukee area stations. But then again, I didn't visit Milwaukee during the
90's. The first time I visited Milwaukee was in September 2001.

Ah, yes, the eventual world champion Florida Marlins.
Apparently, Andy Griffith was quite popular in Milwaukee - he aired on, not one, but two
stations!

...not really THAT popular -- WVTV/18 and WCGV/24 were both operated by Sinclair by this
time...
So some programs were shared by the two stations
...exactly. Kinda like KDFW/4 and KDFI/27 Dallas-Ft. Worth both running Perry Mason at different
times in the early '00s (do they still?)...

A rather odd start time and runtime for a rather odd show of choice. Did they absolutely had to
air 42 minutes of Huck & Yogi every day, or perhaps they felt the need to get a 12-minute jump
on KXLY's "Cartoons"?
I know... KHQ probably aired news and traffic updates in between their cartoons. ;D

Edmonton didn't have a UHF station until September 1997, when CKEM/51 signed on. Today
there are three.

there are three.
From w9wi.com and Wikipedia, here's the current Edmonton channel line-up (digital channel in
brackets, not certain how many are actually on-air at present):
3 (59) CFRN-CTV
5 (42) CBXT-CBC
9 (31) CJAL-Access (carries selected A programs)
11 (65) CBXFT-SRC
13 (47) CITV-Global
45 (23) CKES-CTS
51 (44) CKEM-Citytv
56 (27) CJEO-Omni

In Edmonton, only CITV is available over-the-air in digital; it is also one of three in Alberta to
broadcast digitally (Calgary's CFCN and CICT are the others).

Rogers recently applied to add a digital transmitter for CKEM. Not sure if they also have applied
for CJEO.

There simply wasn't a need to assign UHF channels in Edmonton at that point, since the VHF dial
in the area (and really Alberta in general) wasn't anywhere near being exhausted yet. This is the
case because:
1/ As MJ pointed out on the Canadian TV subforum (in the early Montreal TV thread), it's much
harder to start a new OTA TV station in Canada than in the US;
2/ Edmonton's far enough from the American border that they don't have to worry about
sharing the VHF dial with American stations (as opposed to Vancouver and Toronto, both of
which are much closer to the border and had UHF stations by the 70s).
You can see that the VHF dial can quite comfortably accommodate Edmonton's 4 stations (CFRN
3, CBXT 5, CBXFT 11 and CITV 13) in 1980.
Theoretically Edmonton could've also gotten VHF 7 and 9 before having to resort to UHF, and the
city eventually did get VHF 9 when educational CJAL signed on in the mid-80s. Not quite sure
why CKEM wasn't given VHF 7 when sister station CKAL Calgary received VHF 5 in the same
licensing round in the mid-90s; not that it matters these days with cable (I imagine subscription
rate was already pretty high in Edmonton by 1997).
With interference with American stations not being an issue, I'm thinking both Edmonton and
Calgary could've theoretically gotten the 2/4/5/7/9/11/13 VHF dial like NYC, and give any
combination of 3/6/8/10/12 to Lethbridge, Lloydminster, etc. Again, a moot point these days.
there are three.
Just to add to this, the other 2 (CKES/45 and CJEO/56) only went on air within the last 3 years.
CKEM was Edmonton's only UHF station for 10 years after its launch.

And also, because of this, low VHF stations can broadcast at higher powers than those closer to
the border -- CFRN, which broadcasts on channel 3, broadcasts at 250,000kw average ERP,
609kw peak ERP, much more than the 100kw other channel 3 stations are limited to in the US
and southern Canada.

Did they take the half-hour "ABC News" offered for the prime access hour, and delay it until after
prime time, partly due to the fact that they weren't doing local news on the weekends? What if
there was some major breaking news that broke out in between the evening hours on a
weekend?

Shouldn't this been "en direct" ("live"), considering that they're ringing in 1984?

You're right. It should be "en direct". It was "reprise" when shown on January 1. The old errata-
proneness of cut-and-pasting my listings. The January 1 listings were done first & I cut and
pasted the listing for "Bye-Bye" into the Dec. 31 list w/o making the change to "en direct". ... I
wish there wasn't a deadline for modifying/correcting a listing.

Possibly on this special occasion, a pending change to a new year, they aired a half-hour network
newscast instead.

Apparently, WFIE signed off after Rockford, and never aired "Late Night with David Letterman".
Was Evansville a "home office" for its Top 10 List during this time? (I've read that cities whose
local NBC affiliate did not carry "Late Night" or CBS station not carry "Late Show" were "home
offices" for the Top 10 List.)
Also, any PBS or WEVV listings?

I was visiting the area at the time, but I believe WFIE carried Letterman.
Since the source is from Hopkinsville, 80 miles away, WEVV wasn't really on their radar since
they had just signed on. KET should have been included in the listing but maybe not presented
here.

I chose to leave KET out of the line-up, since it was not an Evansville station (Evansville is served
by PBS station WNIN-9).
Hopkinsville is a fringe city for both Evansville and Nashville, TN (though technically part of the
Nashville DMA) and the New Era published (and likely continues to publish) listings for both as
well as the NBC out of Paducah and the ABC from Bowling Green.
I grew up in the portion of southern Illinois that is part of the EVV market, which is part of the
reason I focused my attention there. IIRC, WEVV had been on the air for only about a year at this
point.
If WFIE carried Letterman, they didn't bother to send that fact out to the listing services. For
many years, even after WTVW went to a 24-hour broadcast day, both WFIE and WEHT signed off
sometime after midnight. I don't think it was until perhaps a year or two after NBC began
offering "Nightside" that WFIE finally went 24-hours.
Here is the link to the original listings page I used as a source

I remember Channel 7 in Evansville being an ABC-TV affiliate. In the Fall of 1963, I saw "The
Fugitive" for the first time on that station on a TV in Columbia, Kentucky that had a high antenna.

Thanks to that link, Tim, I looked around on Google and found an archive
of issues of the Kentucky New Area going to least 1990. Thanks for pointing
me in the right direction, Tim.

No problem. I was originally going to post a listing from sometime in 1990, but around that time
(as you no doubt noticed) the New Era began using a grid listing service that lacked enough
detail on some programs so as to make it useless.

Re: RETRO: MARITIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1983
This show would eventually migrate to cable, first on the Island only and then eventually across
the entire EastLink community channel network in the Maritimes as Island Focus, before finally
going off the air a couple of years ago.

Re: Retro: Southern Quebec Sat, May 10, 1980
I recall I used to be able to see the french cdn version of the Flintstones when I was a kid. In the
credits they'd show actual photos of the actors who voiced the characters! They looked really
dopey!!

I'd hafta disagree. Woody's humor beats mel.

The call letters of Channel 58 are WDJT, not WCIU. That is
an entirely different independent station in Chicago.
Thanks for the correction.
That being said, I would think at the time Channel 65 was a low-powered repeater of WCIU, as it
carried stock market programming by day and Univision by night, just like WCIU.
WCIU was repeated on a number of translators within Indiana, Illinois, & Wisconsin. I don't know
about other states. I know Weigel was on translators in South Bend, Rockford, Milwaukee. I
know they had other translators, but not sure where those were. They continued it until WGBO
was bought by Univision because WCIU refused to be a fulltime Univision affiliate. So when
WGBO in Chicago (Licensed to Joliet, IL) became a Univision owned station, WCIU ended their
simulcast on all of the out of market translators to be an independent station in English. They did
move their brokered ethnic programming to low power WFBT-CA (a former translator used for
The JukeBox that they acquired), & they kept the simulcast going on the Rockford IL translator,
but eventually gave that station call letters. I don't know when they switched the call letters to
WFBN-LP. The South Bend translator (don't remember the call letters) was on channel 69 &
made a WB affiliate and call letters were changed to WMWB-LP in 1995. I wonder when Weigel
ended the simulcast of the ethnic programming in Milwaukee. If Milwaukee has enough of a
Chinese & Polish population, I believe WCIU 26.6 (FBT) should be simulcasted on one of WBME's
subchannels and bring the brokered ethnic programming back to Milwaukee. It's not quite like it
was years ago, but it still serves its purpose.

Re: Retro: Milwaukee Wed, Feb 1, 1989
There are other errors:
WDJT aired "The 700 Club" from 9-10AM
At 10:30AM WISN aired "Wipeout". WVTV aired something else at that time.
At 4PM WITI aired "Donahue." WO8BY had music videos during that hour.

I'm sure it's been discussed before, but please refresh my memory--
why didn't WSMV carry Carson? Did they want to delay it an hour
(and of course NBC told them to take a hike)?

My guess was that WSMV wanted to delay Carson and Letterman each by an hour and NBC
would have let them if they could find noone to carry the show. But being WZTV wanted the
program, they determined that it was better to have Carson at its corrrect time than later on the
affiliate.

Were there other NBC affiliates beside WSMV, WTMJ 4 in Milwaukee, and WMAR 2 in Baltimore
that did not carry Johnny Carson in the 1980's?

Actually, WSMV, WTMJ, and WMAR were the only NBC affils that passed on Carson.

I was able to see Hopkinsville cable in 2002. Evansville wasn't available but Channel 6, 13 and 35
were offered along with Nashville.

I take it that these (and maybe other) stations were getting their programming illegally?

I'd say that's entirely possible, given the notice VCT and Channel 7 published in their listings-
where would they have sourced CBS anyway, a network feed? ???

Now I know. They get syndicated to Guyana!

My Cousin Vinny was an almost new release at the time. Hard to believe it was being shown
over-the-air in Guyana legally.

I have a friend who is Guyanese. It's a former British colony, now independent, on the north
coast of South America with a population that's roughly 50% from African background, 50% from
India. Even though he's ethnically Indian, he speaks with a sort of Jamaican-Carribbean accent.
Yeah, mon! There's a large Guyanese-Indian population in Richmond Hill, Queens, around
Lefferts Boulevard. Very nice people.
He tells me local TV is like watching the community channel on cable in the U.S. But everyone is
very interested in the U.S. and watches American TV and movies.

So sad that their country is primarily known for one American whack-job who used poison Kool

Re: Retro: Toronto/Golden Horseshoe Sun, May 11, 1969
Mind you I was 10 yrs old in 1969, but didn't realize that ch. 17 was the only UHF back then. I
don't think many Canadians had UHF tuners at that time. This would've been just on the cusp of
the UHF blitz! Ch. 29 debuted about 1970, then perhaps ch. 79 and 25, Toronto.

The CBS daytime shows are in EDT pattern, so was NB on AST (not ADT)
in the summer of 1963? I do not have any references to indicate what
the province did then. Otherwise the shows should be an hour later in
these listings, unless the publication did not transpose the times.

I don't know about New Brunswick, but I know there was a period of time where Ontario
appears to have not observed daylight savings time in the same manner as its neighbouring U.S.
states. Certain listings I've seen from The London Free Press from the late 1970s showed the CBS
Evening News airing on WJBK Detroit, WJKW Cleveland, and WSEE Erie at 7:30 PM, and this was
also the case with shows on all three networks - and there's no way these stations aired
everything an hour later than the rest of the country.

Re: RETRO: MARITIMES, SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1975
First, here's what English-language folk call some of their programs (in italics):
10:30 Yogi l'ours ("Yogi Bear")
9:00 Cinema - Un detective a la dynomite ("A Lovely Way to Die") (1968; Kirk Douglas, Eli
Wallach, Sylva Koscina)
12:00 Cinema - Et vint le jour de la vengeance ("Behold a Pale Horse") (1964; Gregory Peck,
Anthony Quinn, Omar Sharif)
Shouldn't this be "Bobby Goldsboro"?

I can't believe I misspelled dynamite. And it's not the first time lately that I've done so. Must
have Jimmie Walker on the brain or something.
Shouldn't this be "Bobby Goldsboro"?
Yes. I missed the "...boro" while transcribing. Just goes to show how little I know about country
music, both of that period and today.
One of these days, I'm going to go thru and correct and repost all the listings I've posted.

ZBTV & WBNB are no longer around. WBNB was destroyed in Hurricane Hugo, I believe, in

WTJX begs the question - what other stations out there regularly signed off for a period of time
during daytime hours? I believe BBC1 and BBC2 did such a thing at one time.

had a question, not sure of the answer

The station with the "Z" call letters was transmitting I presume from the British V.I.?
I assume then both US and British Virgin Islands were using the 525 line 30 cycle
NTSC standard?

Indeed on the Z....they were from the British V.I. I would assume that they ran the NTSC. I know
that ZNS 13 in the Bahamas uses NTSC, and I think that all the Caribbean does, except for the
Francophone islands---Guadeloupe, Martinique, and possibly part of St. Martin.

TBN didn't establish their first international affiliate until about 1985 (in Nevis and St. Kitts).

Considering that these listings came from late September, when kids should be in school, maybe
the station was showing in-school instructional programming and neglected to tell the paper or
listing service -- not at all uncommon among PBS stations.

I was in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2004. A guy at WTJX (I think it was) told me they are gone. I
actually went DXing at Point Udall (eastern tip of St. Croix), and all there was on ch 5 were two
low power repeater stations. One might have been for WTJX.

From what I could tell, the first TV Guide issue to have the (BW) designation on all editions was
Aug. 26-Sept. 1, 1972.

5:00 Beyond Our Control
this was a show produced locally by high school students, usually sketch comedy with
surprisingly good writing and high production values.

And considering the program ran immediately after the "NBC Baseball Game of the Week," if the
game went into extra innings, it most certainly would have been "beyond their control". ;D

I had TOTALLY forgotten about "Beyond Our Control"! I remember seeing it in the early
80s...Didn't know it went back this far. There are a bunch of clips of it on YouTube, including a
sketch that seems AWFULLY similar to a very successful Disney/Pixar movie franchise...
Also, I can't get the CBS Children's Film Festival theme song out of my head now.

Indiana did not observe DST until recently. Prime time bounced between 7 to 10 and 8 to 11
when time changed in the rest of the U.S. That was "solved" in the 80s through tape delay during
the DST part of the year.

Re: RETRO: MARITIMES, SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1977
McCorry - I'm impressed at how you were able to post the listings for this day, as well as the 12th
and 14th from the same week, to new threads roughly within six minutes of each other. I'm
guessing a little "cut and paste" was involved.

3:00 Baseball: San Francisco-St. Louis (syndied from KSD St. Louis-the current KSDK calls date
from an ownership change in 1983)
KAIT 8-ABC Jonesboro (and 11 Blytheville)
3:00 Baseball: San Francisco-St. Louis
Probably would have been St. Louis at San Francisco (1 PM PDT start).
This date was also when Mount St. Helens blew its top.

WREG 3-CBS Memphis

It wasn't, as the Lakers won the championship in 6 games. Did CBS air anything in its place, or
turn the time back over to the affiliates?

So KATV didn't think Mr. Goodbar was good enough for primetime? Or content issues, I'm
assuming, had something to do with the reason why they chose to show the movie with a less
suggestive title like "Hang 'Em High" in its place.

The Little Rock channels have had a habit of pulling stunts like that...KTHV has notoriously pre-
empted the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for the past few years, sometimes shunting it off to
one of the LP channels and sometimes not 8)

Re: Retro: Seattle/Tacoma Mon, May 17, 1971
Not shown in that schedule for KTVW, channel 13, is that they ran a daytime schedule of
financial news with an onscreen ticker tape that presumably ended with the start of that 4:30
PM movie. Similar programming was tried several years later on several major market UHF
stations, but I'm not aware that it lasted very long in any market.
The financial programming was removed from KTVW when the station was sold to new owners
in late 1972.
Also of note in this schedule is the fact that every program listed on KTVW is in black and white.
That's because they didn't have the capability to run color programming in 1971. That new
owner in 1972 also bought the equipment that finally allowed the station to convert to color
operation.
Hard to believe that a top 20 market commercial VHF station was still in black and white in
1971...but it's true.

Re: Retro: Seattle/Tacoma Mon, May 17, 1971
I would have been 5 and a half back then and my family had just moved from Saskatoon a year
earlier where we just had 1 channel so with cable we picked up all the Seattle stations except for
11 and 13. I remember KCTS broadcasting in B&W, but I thought it was just my imagination or
our TV. Thanks for posting this so my memories are true!

Re: Retro: Houston-San Antonio, Thursday, Oct. 28, 1971
KHTV - Channel 39 (Ind.)
Noon: Gomer Pyle
Still in CBS daytime reruns at this point, this was pre-empted by KHOU-11 (CBS) at 3:00 for To Tell
The Truth and would possibly be an episode on a one-day delay.
Interestingly enough that several years later Gomer Pyle would be a fixture on KHTV at Noon.

Re: Retro: Houston-San Antonio, Thursday, Oct. 28, 1971
What? No listings for KUHT, Channel 8(PBS)?
They weren't listed. I wondered the same thing.
I believe then-KVRL (ch.26) had signed on by this point also.

5:30 I'm Dickens...He's Fenster
Sort of confirms what I remembered years ago..That Dickens/Fenster was in syndication for a
while..In Cleveland on WEWS-TV 5. In connection friends of show creator Leonard Stern (with his
help and encouragement) are leading a drive to restore the series for an eventual DVD
release..Interesting story there..

Re: Retro: Eastern Virginia Thurs, Feb 11, 1982
What?. No Tic Tac Dough on any of the stations then?. And no NBC game shows in Richmond?.
Who carried TTD and Bullseye in those areas in the previous season , And why did WWBT choose
movies instead of games?. I guess NBC raised hell at WWBT for not airing Blockbusters-Cullen,
Wheel and Battlestars.
And if I were running WAVY TV then, I would have gotten TTD from whoever aired it the previous
season and dropped it before Fall 1981 began, either WTKR or WVEC whoever it was.
BTW, did WOR appear on cable anywhere then, so that viewers could get their daily dose of
Wink Martindale and the Mean Dragon?. Also when did WOR and also WGN appear in that
particular edition of TV Guide?. I know thru the 1980's and 1990's TV Guide expanded their
additions by adding more channels like CNN and MTV .

There appeared to only be 3 game shows in production at NBC back in early 82 as Regis
appeared to ba an hour by then. I did not remember Regis on NBC but he was on for a little
while there. I also remember Diff'rent Strokes reruns at 10 AM and not Regis for an hour. Still 2
of these gane shows were on WAVY so even i9f you had cable you still missed a game show that
was supposed to air. Hopefully north of Richmond, you would mhave WRC TV on cable.
Can you post a SUnday schedule from that time period as well? I am sure by then TV 27 was
secular from about 11 AM to about 7 PM. My guess.

NBC in early 1982 had Blockbusters, which would go by April, but Bill Cullen would have another
new game for Goodson-Todman called Child's Play in Fall 1982, which was sandwiched between
The New $25,000 Pyramid and The Price Is Right, Wheel, Battlestars,which along with
Blockbusters would be axed to make room for the soap Texas which would get shot down by
TPIR, and Password Plus which would disappear and be repalced by The Doctors. P+ would win
an Emmy for Best Game Show in 1982. P+ would return in 9/ 1984 on the same Network, NBC
,as Super Password with Bert Convy, as Tom Kennedy who replaced Allen Ludden on P+ in
10/1980, would by this time be MCing Body Language on CBS. Also during the tumultuous time
for NBC games in 1982, the soap opera Search For Tomorrow would move from CBS to NBC
when The Big Eye added the soap Capitol.

bobby buddy,
That was the time when stations axed game shows for PM Magazine, Mash reruns and stuff. If
we had the internet we would send a smattering of angry emails to those station managers!

Yes, if you and the 'net had been around at that time, we'd send hundreds of e-mails to station
managers. I think some managers would later be fired for other things like not getting ratings up
and things like that, although not necessarily because of not putting on game shows, but it could
've been a factor in that.

6:00 Potato Pickers
Come on... Seriously? THIS was the name of their local morning show? Was it via satellite from
Idaho?
From Wikipedia...
"During the fall potato harvest (potatoes being the most important industry in the region) the
annual Potato Picker's Special is aired from 4:30 to 6 in the morning for six days a week on
WAGM. The program announces details from area farmers with regards to the harvest."
For the record, McCain's Florenceville world HQ was in the station's analog coverage area ;D

Yep, Potato Pickers was a WAGM-produced daily update for people participating in the potato
harvest. Can't comment on it because I never did see it, not having cable TV at home at the time
and not getting up in the mornings early enough at my grandparents' place (they had cable) to
watch it- even if I were to be interested enough to do so.
Celebrity Dominoes I can't say I remember ever watching either. If I wasn't in school when it was
on, I'd have been watching CBC programming instead. From what I've read, it was one of the
least successful shows CTV ever produced.

Yes, on CBS's "Saturday Supercade", which featured animated versions of various video game

whole CBS schedule, as it had to make room for "Shirt Tales" and "The Smurfs" from NBC.

Re: Retro: San Diego Wed, May 25, 1983
I guess no Joker's Wild or Tic Tac Dough in San Diego then, so I guess KCOP had to do, because
they were missing from SD in 1981-82 and 1982-83, and WOR on cable at that time. Did XETV 6
or NBC 39 bring them back in Fall '83, the same season that saw nighttime Wheel Of Fortune for
the first time?.

BJ and the Bear and Misadventures of Sherriff Lobo were both products
of the CB/trucker craze of the mid-late 1970's..Since both were short lived (Actually Lobo was
spun off from BJ and the Bear) both series were combined as a syndication package-85 total
episodes

"Daytime", I think, also came via the same channels as A&E, while Telefrance came via SPN -- the
Satellite Program Network.

Or 170 episodes, if they were split into half-hours (like many stations did).

I see Channel 51 was quite conservative with the children's programming...

Bobby, Channel 8 had Tic Tac Dough in January 1984 at 7:30 after P.M Magazine and Channel 13
only had the Joker's Wild at 7:00 after Hawaii Five-0 followed by The People's Court. I might
looked through some more issues.

Guy, I think 39 had TJW then, and maybe TTD was on 13 earlier, 'cause of Wheel of Fortune
joining th elineup, or maybe back home to KHJ-TV 9 (now KCAL).

KHJ got these shows when KCOP got Wheel & Jeopardy. In San Diego 6 did have Bulleye. Hard to
remember everything now. August 1979 Channel 8 had Tic Tac Dough at 6:30 and The Joker's
Wild at 7:00 and P.M Magazine at 7:30. In looking at this TV Guide (San Diego edition) Channel 2
Los Angeles had Cross-Wits at 3:30 and Match Game at 4:00. By then CBS had dropped Match
Game. Might have moved to Channel 4 later.

Yup. Match Game went to KNBC and then KHJ-TV (now CBS owned KCAL9).
KABC Channel 7 had Match Game PM in Los Angeles and KGTV Channel 10 in San Diego.

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay-Ft. Myers, Wednesday, March 27, 1957
Interesting that WTVT was less pre-emption prone than
in the '60s and '70s. I do believe CBS's 1 PM newscast
was five minutes; I have, on several occasions, listed
that newscast on WEHT Evansville, IN (noon CT) and it
was five minutes. I'm also certain that WINK aired Douglas
Edwards at 6:45, since CBS fed his newscast at 6:45 and
7:15.
Ernie Lee was a fixture on Bay Area television for nearly
three decades; I remember his "Breakfast Beat" on WTVT
from 6-7 AM in the '70s.
I noticed a couple of other oddities: "McNulty" is probably
Ray Milland's 1953-55 sitcom "Meet Mr. McNulty" (originally
"McNutley"); "Matinee" is almost definitely NBC's "Matinee
Theater," which aired at 3 PM. Also, I'm a little surprised

that WFLA didn't carry "Masquerade Party," which was on
NBC Wednesdays at 8 and was already into its fourth host,
Eddie Bracken (Bud Collyer, Douglas Edwards, and Peter Donald
had preceded him; Robert Q. Lewis, Bert Parks, and Richard Dawson
would follow).

Re: Retro: Portland/Salem (OR) Mon, May 27, 1974
I am curious how long KATU-TV (ABC) used the "eyewitness news" imaging. I had always thought
that KIRO in Seattle was the only NW station to really hammer this theme outside of the ABC
network O&O's. I think if KATU used this it was short-lived, but KIRO has been using the theme
since 1969 till today! To my knowledge, KATU switched back to simply "Channel 2 News" by the
end of the 70's.

KHQ in Spokane and KBOI in Boise also used Eyewitness News during the early '70s. KIRO
stopped using Eyewitness News from about 1988 or 1989 through 1997.

Re: Retro: St. Louis, MO.-- Sunday October 9, 1983
HI - WOuld love to see a weekday schedule from this time period as well as a Saturday schedule.
I thought KNLC was all religious back then. I have a TV Guide from St Louis from 1984 and at that
point KNLC was not even included. But most of all Would love a weekday schedule from 1983
I know they were listed in the St. Louis edition of TV Guide, but was WCEE-13 Mt. Vernon, IL
(now WPXS), which signed on in 1983 IIRC, ever listed in the Post-Dispatch's TV listings? If so,
would "Cee-TV" been on the air by this time?
I know it was listed in the Evansville/Paducah edition of TVGuide as well (at least through the
80s). I always knew it was "Cee-13," though. Good little indy station before Paxson bought it and
basically gutted it early/mid 90s (it had become the infomercial and "Worship" dump spot by the
time I left southern Illinois in the mid-90s).
IIRC for a time (in at least the late '80s into the mid-90s) WCEE-13 was also listed in the Eastern
Illinois edition of TVG (Champaign/Decatur/Springfield market primarily).

Re: Retro: Golden Horseshoe/Buffalo/Rochester Thurs, Apr 7, 1960
I remember my parents used to watch this when I was a little kid!
My other surprise is that CBLT was the ONLY Toronto station?? And EVERY Canadian station was
CBC?? (ugh!)
I also thought there was a slew of UHF stations around Buffalo in those days. ???

Spunky and Tadpole? During the Today local breaks? That's an oddball. I thought most NBC
stations inserted local news or something more appropriate to what the network was offering. I
doubt the kids were watching Today while getting ready for school, and I doubt parents or other
adults were sticking around in front of the set to watch the 5 minutes of cartoons. Maybe just a
good excuse to plop the tykes in front of the tube for a 5-minute respite for Mom and Dad
during the morning rush.
CKVR 3-CBC Barrie
How common were such live broadcasts in circa 1960 Canada? Wasn't it the late 50's ('56, '57,
something like that) before there was even a coax/microwave link uniting East and West there? I
would think a relatively new link like that (probably single-channel) would be reserved in those
early years for special events, not a routine variety show. (Or was Talent Caravan some sort of big
nationwide competition?)
10:30 Ernie Kovacs
I wonder if that would actually be the game show he hosted (Take a Good Look), rather than one
of the monthly half-hour specials he did as his final work before his untimely death? (In either
case, this would have been an ABC program.) TAGL was on in 1960, but I believe the specials
didn't start airing until later that year, or maybe not until '61.

That was a show that was only incidentally a game show, and really just a framework for Kovacs
and his players to present videotaped sketches and blackouts similar to the sorts of things that
would later fill those half-hour specials. The rules and object of the game itself were rather
abstruse. Hans Conreid, a friend of Kovacs and frequent panelist, once remarked about Zsa Zsa
Gabor's appearance on the panel, "She became so confused that she forgot to get married."

That was true until the very end of 1960--CFTO signed on for the first time on December 31,
1960, and that also marked the premiere of the entire CTV network. The UHF band wouldn't be
opened up in Canada and allow more stations to operate in Toronto for another ten years.
"And EVERY Canadian station was CBC?? (ugh!)"
For a while. It was expected, early on, that all stations would carry some CBC programming in
any city that didn't have a full CBC owned and operated station with a city-grade signal...that was
a federal rule. CBC later upgraded its signals in most major cities and more stations signed on
during the 1960s and 1970s, permitting not only the expansion of CTV but the eventual
emergence of a third English language network, Global, which launched in Ontario in the mid-
70s and by the end of the 1990s was a coast-to-coast competitor with CTV and CBC.

I believe at the time of these listings Buffalo was still a top 10 TV market, if not at least within the
top 15. I remember seeing in the past online some early ads for both WGR and WBEN and both
stations were kinda bragging about that fact.
Oddly I have NEVER seen online any old ads as in pre-1970's for WKBW. WKBW-TV that is as the
net is full of old ads dating back to the 40's of WKBW Radio.

In its earliest days WKBW-TV, like most fledgling ABC affiliates that signed on between about
1955 and 1960, was a startup operation just finding its feet. When Capital Cities took over
WKBW radio and TV in 1961 (backed by Lowell Thomas' money) they put more into both
marketing and the on-air product. KB radio was already strong. But for the TV station it made a
big difference, allowing them to start building the news operation around Irv Weinstein which by
the end of the 1960s would come to dominate the Western NY/Southern Ontario market--a
dominance it would hold for 30 years until Weinstein and Tom Jolls retired in 1998.

Of course, "Today" was the same program that brought viewers J. Fred Muggs, the chimpanzee
who practically upstaged the show's first host, Dave Garroway, from 1952 to 1957. Apparently,
the local slots were the stations', to do anything they please with.
CKVR 3-CBC Barrie
I would think there was alot of national microwave space to go around, as CBC was the only
English network, and until 1960, most cities only had one channel.

Gabor's appearance on the panel, "She became so confused that she forgot to get married."
It was Take a Good Look, and Kovacs ignored the letters of viewers who got frustrated trying to
play along. In his mind, the show was a satire of a game show. About a year or so later he began
hosting Silents Please in the same timeslot; these were cutdowns, or multi-part showings, of old
silent movies, and it was about this time that he began doing his monthly specials (the last of
which aired a week or so after his death in 1962).
WSJS (now WXII), Ch. 12 in Winston-Salem, NC, is another station that ran Groucho and Kovacs
back-to-back, since there was no fulltime ABC affiliate in the Triad and wouldn't be until WGHP
signed on in 1963.

opened up in Canada and allow more stations to operate in Toronto for another ten years.
Unlike in the United States, the process of starting a new TV station in Canada is - and has always
been - extremely difficult. The CBC itself regulated broadcasting in Canada up until 1958, and
they did not permit more than one station per language per city. The BBG began regulating
broadcasting in 1958 and it wasn't until 1960 that they allowed second TV stations in cities. The
United States went with more of a market-based model - whatever stations could make use of
the FCC's allocations could exist, as long as they met basic rules.
Even today, there is a heck of a lot of red tape involved in starting a new station in Canada. The
process of starting a new station in Canada gives existing broadcasters the right to intervene, and
in most cases, the CRTC sides with existing broadcasters who cry foul about new competition. In
2005 the CRTC denied TV Niagara the chance to start the first-ever local television station in St.
Catharines-Niagara, almost entirely due to the objections of Canwest Global, which at that time
owned CHCH in Hamilton. In the United States there is a free market where everyone fends for
themselves, while in Canada, the big broadcasters in partnership with the government have
always run the show.

Sounds very "typically Canadian". The Government RULES!
I'll bet the BBC has a similar "hold" in England!

Uh, how could the Cincinnati Reds be playing both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia at the same time?
Another thing is, why would NBC otherwise be carrying the same game as CBS? This was almost
certainly a typo.

Hey, I know KFRE channel 12 moved to channel 30 in 1959, despite they were going to use
channel 12 somewhere on the Central Coast. That's why Santa Maria got their very own TV
station by 1964 & it was KCOY-TV.

These seem to be the normal Sunday evening left coast feeds, except for the
NBC News Special/Berlin at 10 PM PT which is the oddity, unless it was a late
add--scratching the Loretta rerun--and only the Bakersfield affil got its listing
updated in time.

These must have been the cartoons KAYU didn't have room for on its schedule (KSKN was still
HSN full time).

One would think 2, 4 and 6 would have first dibs on the cartoons before 28. I can't imagine that a
show like "Inspector Gadget" would need to be cleared on a prime channel in a market like
Spokane.

At this point, Fox had already started its "Fox Kids" afternoon feed. Though I'm still quite
surprised the prime stations actually had cartoons in the afternoon rather than a talk show.

Looks like 3 PM is the "prime kids access" hour here. I'm sure if this was ten years earlier, Tom &
Jerry would be scheduled on one of these stations.
Meanwhile, Oprah probably disapproved having Inspector Gadget as a lead-in to her show on
Channel 2...

By 1993, FOX affiliates and independent stations were the "de facto" kids stations in each
market. With soaps as lead-ins, cartoons just don't look right on the "Big 3" stations, even in a
mid-market like Spokane. I wonder if the big network affiliates would have aired them if Syndex
wasn't in play at the time and there were regional independents that carried those shows on the
local cable system?
I also noticed that the "Big 3" also took most of the off-net sitcoms during the evening (it
seemed odd that Peter Jennings was the lead-in to a "Full House" repeat), while KAYU aired
magazine shows that traditional affiliates normally cleared.
A strange situation indeed.

It was not uncommon for children's shows to air on one of the "Big 3" stations on weekday
afternoons as late as the mid-nineties, although it had been uncommon in larger markets for
many years by then.
Aside from that, Spokane was a very conservative market for many years, where the station were
very slow to change.

Re: RETRO: MARITIMES, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1976
It was Karen Black night on CTV.
And what a name for the 9 P.M. movie on Radio-Canada! I feel sure the people typing up the

How bizarre this must have seemed! For these shows to be airing in the afternoon.
Retro: St. Louis, Mo.-October 10-14, 1983 (Network Affiliates)
Here's a full schedule for the week of October 10-14, 1983 for the St. Louis area. I put a
considerable amount of effort in putting this together, like condensing the schedule in easy-to-
read form, trying to come up with local movie umbrella titles and as well as trying to find out
who anchored the local news on Channels 2, 4, 5 and 11. So I had to make educated guesses in a
couple of instances with regard to the two. Here's the schedule:

Was "Woman to Woman" a full hour or only 30 minutes? I know of another station that was
airing this syndicated show and it was only 30 minutes. Of course, I suppose it's possible that
two versions of the show were offered to stations.
Retro: North Carolina Saturday, June 5, 1971
From TV Guide, North Carolina Edition.
NOTE: Although this is a Saturday listing, a point needs to be cleared up about WRAL's handling
of Howard K. Smith and Harry Reasoner's commentaries. The station did not cut off the last ten
minutes of the broadcast for Jesse Helms'
"Viewpoint" editiorials, but rather had a special dispensation from ABC to run the newscast 6:20-
6:50 PM (WRAL was one of
ABC's few strong affiliates at the time), followed by Helms' usual "rebuttals." When Helms
entered politics, the Smith/Reasoner broadcast was moved to 6:30 and aired in its entirety.

According a Wiki article (disclaimer...accuracy alert!) on Paul Humphrey,

he is one and the same:

Did WRAL ever carry Huntley-Brinkley, and if they did was it aired ten minutes earlier for Helms
as well?

Another Philly import?
Also, did ABC call it a night after 10:00 on Saturdays? Or did their North Carolina affiliates just
bail for local programs at 10?

1. WRAL had carried Huntley-Brinkley when it was an NBC affiliate
(1956-62) and for a time after it went to ABC, before picking up first
Ron Cochran, then Peter Jennings (the first time). After Frank Reynolds
began anchoring ABC's newscast in 1968, WRAL, like many other ABC
affiliates, found his commentaries too liberal, dropped him (even after
the more conservative Howard K. Smith was paired with him), and went
back to Huntley-Brinkley until Reasoner's arrival at ABC in late 1970; I
think WRAL went back to carrying ABC's newscast early in 1971. At any
rate, NBC--unlike ABC--did not have a 6 PM feed, so Helms' editorials
ran at either 6:20 or 6:25.
2. "The Monkees" is the sitcom. It was repeated seemingly endlessly
on Saturday mornings on either CBS or ABC during the '70s.
3. AFAIK, this is Philadelphia's Larry Kane; likewise, "Captain Noah And
His Ark" originated at WPVI (sister station WTVD also carried it, on Sundays).
4. Charlotte is one North Carolina city where I've never lived, but I've been
told that "Pastors Face Your Questions" was a roundtable of local pastors
answering viewers' questions about the Bible; it was not a church service.
5. ABC at the time was preparing for the loss of network time due to the
access rule, which went into effect that fall. It was already giving back
10:30-11 on Saturday nights (from 1968); in January 1971 it began giving
back 9:30-10:30 Saturdays, 7-8 Sundays, and 10:30-11 Thursdays. Not
only did this cut spending (which ABC desperately needed to do), but it
allowed ABC to actually win one week, in January 1971, the first time it had
done so since the 1964-65 season (ABC's glory days were still about five years
away).
I might add that a couple of ABC affiliates (one, WLOS, in Asheville, North Carolina;
the other, WFTV Orlando) carried NBC's Saturday-night movie while the NBC
affiliates in both markets carried their own movies.
6. Paul Harvey's Bible-story program was aimed at kids. I remember a similar program,
originating in Mobile, that used to air in Birmingham on Saturday mornings: "Aunt Beka's
Bible Stories."

2. "The Monkees" is the sitcom. It was repeated seemingly endlessly
on Saturday mornings on either CBS or ABC during the '70s.
In fact, these were the reruns of the NBC sitcom that entered Saturday morning on CBS in 1969,
though with some music replaced with more-recent Monkees songs (NBC did likewise when
Monkees repeats aired on that network); the Monkees were still recording at the time, in hopes
that the reruns would generate new interest in their recordings (it didn't). The remainder of The
Monkees, now down to Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz, broke up in 1970. ABC picked up the
series -- by them just flat-out reruns, in 1973, and carried them until 1975.
6. Paul Harvey's Bible-story program was aimed at kids.
Was this the same Paul Harvey as the guy who wished us "Good Day"?

From what I could tell, this Larry Kane Show was a teen-oriented music dance show based in
Houston, TX, had run since 1959 (but was just syndicated nationally), and its host (a veteran
Houston DJ) worked for years at KTRK-TV in Houston (another ABC affiliate, where the show
actually originated), later moved to KPRC. This was not by any means the same Larry Kane whose
career began in Miami at the time at the Bay of Pigs, and went on to a long career in
Philadelphia television (with about a year in New York). This Larry Kane, who died in the late
1990's, didn't look or sound all that much like the longtime WPVI/WABC/WCAU/KYW anchor.
It should be noted that it was because of this Larry Kane and his dance show that, for years,
KTRK did not run American Bandstand (it wasn't until 1984 that Clark's show ran on KTRK again).
Because of the Philly Larry Kane's association with The Beatles, one could understand this
confusion between him and the Houston Larry Kane. A picture of the Houston Larry Kane (in the
center, holding a record album) can be seen when one scrolls down on this link. A clip from this
Larry Kane's show (a performance by the band Southwest F.O.B., from 1968) can also be seen
here.

Thanks for the correction, although it's somewhat ironic that there
were Larry Kanes on sister stations (KTRK and WPVI were owned by
CapCities before becoming ABC o&os when CapCities bought the network
in the mid-'80s).
And yes, that is the Paul Harvey who wished us, "Good DAY!"

Another thing: The Houston teen music show host Larry Kane died Jan. 26, 1998 at age 62 after
suffering a stroke. After his show ended, he moved behind the scenes as an entertainment
lawyer, with the band ZZ Top among his clients.

...as well as putting it in the middle of the children's block.
I noticed that, too, and I have no explanation for it. I was living in Birmingham, where we'd
had the same situation of a VHF cherry-picking CBS and NBC and leaving the crumbs to the
UHF until 1970, but even there nothing like "77 Sunset Strip" had aired on Saturday mornings.
At any rate, such rarities wouldn't happen much longer; WTVD became exclusively CBS in the
fall of 1971, while WRDU got NBC, and the Triangle finally began to get most everything in
pattern.

It should be noted that although KNLC Channel 24 aired movies, they did not use any movie
umbrella titles (in contrast to Channels 2, 4, 5, 9, 11 and 30) and ususally started the film at the
exact time. Also, they showed a lot of religious-themed films, some as short as a half-hour.
Feel free to make any comments if you wish.

Man.Challenge sounds like it might be reruns of Man and the Challenge,
a short-lived (1959-60) NBC adventure series about a scientist who tested the
limits of human endurance. George Nader played Dr. Glenn Barton.

I noticed that the CBC-affiliated outlets were airing Queen Elizabeth II's visit to Canada on this
date. Since Canada does recognizes the Queen, was this a mandatory requirement from the CBC,
since they are a Crown Corporation of the Canadian Government?

Considering that all CBC affiliates listed here are private affiliates, apparently not -- channel 9
only carried the Queen's departure (presumably from Windsor) in the morning, while 8 and 10
carried her arrival (presumably in London, Ontario) later in the day. Don't know if either of these
events were networked nationwide or provincewide on the CBC.

The Queen's visit coverage was national CBC coverage - The Toronto Star shows CBLT
broadcasting this coverage on the same date. Queen Elizabeth was visiting Ottawa on July 5, and
she did not visit London, Ont. during her 1967 trip to Canada; she would return to Canada in
1973 and she visited London then.
CKLW in Windsor broadcast the absolute minimum CBC schedule possible at that time. They
were American-owned and functioned more or less as a Detroit independent. As is my
understanding, private CBC affiliates at that time were not requried to clear a large amount of
the CBC network schedule; CJIC in Sault Ste. Marie cleared very little CBC programming in the
1960s as well, perhaps because they were also a border station and had to compete with several
American stations on the other side of the river. CKLW relied heavily on movies, while CJIC relied
heavily on local programming.

Re: Retro: Iowa Sat, June 9, 1956
The 1955-56 season was the year Gleason cut back to a
half-hour, doing the "classic 39" filmed "Honeymooners."
Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey's "Stage Show," which Gleason
produced, filled the other half-hour. Originally, the Dorseys

aired at 8 (ET), followed by Gleason; in February 1956 they
swapped timeslots, since the Dorseys weren't doing that
great in the ratings and allowing Perry Como to gain a foothold
for NBC. So in the summer of '56 Gleason was airing at 8 (EDT);
the Dorseys, at 8:30.
That fall, Gleason resumed his hour-long variety show but Como
had taken over dominance of the 8-9 slot; Gleason was off Saturday
nights from 1957-62, although he tried a couple of short-lived comebacks
in the interim (think "You're In The Picture").

Is it possible that ABC and CBS both got Telco to reverse the lines into the
CST parts of the midwest at 8:30 (for ABC) and 9 (for CBS), which would
be when the Eastern feeds went dark for the night? The above matches
up with the left coast feed times (CST being one hour later than PDT).
Both Ozark and Dorsey would have been kinnies off of the live airings
three hours prior, but I suppose that's better than running a kinnie (and
a 16mm film for Gleason) a week or two late. A better question might be
why didn't these stations clear the shows live at 5:30/6/6:30?

I'm fairly certain that WGEM aired the syndicated version of "Family Feud" at 6:30PM during this
period.

Checking the listings, WGEM did run Feud at 6:30.

WQAD 8-ABC Quad Cities (Moline)
5:00 Active 8 at 5
1. What did Channel 7 normally air at that hour?

2. "Active 8"? This is how they positioned themselves? Yuck... :

If memory serves, KHQA's normal schedule between 3:30 and 5:30 was as follows:
3:30 BJ/Lobo (alternating reruns of "BJ & the Bear" and "The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo")
5:00 Jeffersons
Why they didn't just air the Pinocchio special at 3:30 is a bit odd, since the program that was
ultimately pre-empted was "BJ/Lobo." Maybe they aired it at 4:00 so all the kids would be home
from school in time to see it.

WQAD did, in fact, refer to themselves as "Active 8," as in "activate." It's also interesting that
WQAD was obviously not carrying "Nightline" during this period...not even showing it on a delay.

Thanksgiving, I presume? Only reason I can think of for football on Thursday afternoon.
What's with that afternoon schedule of WKST? Two separate installments of American
Bandstand,
sandwiched around something called Do You Trust Your Wife? Talk about a loaded title!

Well, it was the fourth Thursday in November..
The American Bandstand Schedule was also split on Channel 5, so it was an ABC thing. The first
few years of "Bandstand" was scheduled like that..some affiliates carried only the first half hour,
or the 4-5 hour..
Do You Trust Your Wife was renamed "Who Do You Trust?"..This was a month into its daytime
premiere..With Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon

In his memoir "Rock, Roll and Remember" Clark talks about
how he "beat up mercilessly" on the scheduling of "Bandstand"
at 3, "Do You Trust Your Wife?" at 3:30, and "Bandstand" again
at 4, and how he constantly tried to get ABC to move "Trust"
out of the 3:30 slot. That proved to be difficult; both shows
were attracting badly-needed advertisers (remember, ABC was
finally starting to make a commitment to daytime). The change
wasn't made until October 1958, with "Beat The Clock" taking over
the 3 PM slot, what was now called "Who Do You Trust?" staying
at 3:30, and "Bandstand" at 4.
I get the impression Johnny Carson wasn't too pleased that Clark
was working to have his show moved; after Carson got "The Tonight
Show" it was a long, long time before Clark was a guest.

BTW, in Philadelphia "Bandstand" stayed on through the 3:30-4 PM
period, with "Who Do You Trust?" relegated to 1:30.

Re: Retro: Alberta/Southeast British Columbia Sat, June 10, 1967
Until 1990, Banff had two CBC stations transmitting locally over-the-air. CHCT/CFAC had a
transmitter there, and after CFAC went independent in 1975 CBRT added a transmitter there,
which is still there. CKRD had a transmitter there until 1990, when it was deleted.
KREM and KXLY were broadcast over-the-air on some community-owned transmitters in British
Columbia at that time.

Not quite -- the animated Beatles were voiced by others (John Clive as John, Geoffrey Hughes as
Paul, Peter Batten as George, and Paul Angelis as Ringo AND George, as Batten was arrested for
desertion from the British Army), though the actual Beatles appeared in a live-action epilogue at
the end.

My apologies. When I saw the Beatles credited in the cartoon movie, I just presumed they did
the voices. All the same, a very strange movie! Would be interesting to see it sometime.

Re: Retro TV: Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point, NC Wednesday, Jan 30 1993
You're right. Looked at the publication date on the page the grid was located. My apologies!
Retro: St. Louis, Mo.-Saturday October 15, 1983
Here now is a Saturday schedule from back in the day. As with my previous postings, it contains
not only the local stations, but also superstations WGN in Chicago and WTBS in Atlanta. Also, I
was able to come up with movie umbrella titles, having only to make an educated guess in a
couple of instances. I also had to come up with the weekend news anchor teams by either
memory or checking out the web. So, without further adieu, here it is.

Re: Retro: Indianapolis/Terre Haute/Fort Wayne/Muncie Sat, June 11, 1955
That listing contradicts Channel 8's own website, which states that they were ABC primary with
NBC, CBS, and Dumont secondary, until 1956, when they switched to CBS.
I also note that there was no listing for WFAM-TV 59 (now WLFI-TV 18) Lafayette. I thought they
went on the air in 1953.

It's a wonder NBC didn't stay on Ch. 4, in light of the fact
that 6 was ABC then and is now (and NBC is on 13). What
caused NBC to go to 6 and ABC to wind up on 13?

From what I've read, prior to 1956 WFBM-TV had secondary ABC affiliation which in essence had
become primary due to the demise of DuMont whose programming also aired on WFBM. It was
in 1956 (the same year WISH went CBS) that WFBM took over the NBC affiliation from WTTV,
which then became an independent. So WFBM's network affiliation had been settled at the time
then-WLWI signed on, thus that station took ABC affiliation by default.
I am apprised that the story of Indianapolis TV had enough twists, turns and complexities to
warrant a made-for-TV movie.

WTTV is a rimshot, licensed to Bloomington and transmitting from Trafalgar - 25 miles south of
Indy - allowing city-grade coverage of Bloomington and at least 2/3 of Indy (is it better now with
DTV on UHF?). This is probably the reason why Tribune didn't move Fox there after buying the
station.
When they were on Channel 10, their transmitter was in the same building as the studio, on the
southeast side of B-town behind the main Tarzian factory (not co-located with sister-station
WTTS 1370, which was just south of downtown). They moved their main studio to the south side
of Indy and their transmitter to Trafalgar in 1953 or '54. but still had poor coverage to the more-
wealthy north side of Indy. They didn't get full-market coverage until they bought Channel 29 in
Kokomo and made it a satellite in the late '80s.
Channel 13 (then-WLWI) may have been a lousy operation (by their own admission) before 1979,
but it had full coverage of most of the Indy market. Ironically, they had very poor coverage into
the hilly Bloomington/Bedford area and as such, WTTV kept a secondary ABC affiliation (they
were ABC primary in 1956-57, before 13 signed on). AFAIK, the only time ABC programming was
carried on Channel 4 after 1957 was during the coverage of President Kennedy's assassination in
1963.
IIRC, this is how the network swaps went down (secondary affiliations in parentheses):
1949
WFBM-TV 6 CBS (NBC, ABC, Dumont)
WTTV 10 NBC (CBS, ABC, Dumont)
1954
WTTV 4 NBC (Dumont)
WFBM-TV 6 CBS (ABC, NBC, Dumont)
WISH-TV 8 ABC (NBC, CBS, Dumont)
1955
WTTV 4 NBC
WFBM-TV 6 ABC
WISH-TV 8 CBS

It was common in the '50s for a station to have multiple affiliations, even in 3-station markets.
The largest market that this happened was Chicago, where CBS was split between WBKB
(primary) and WGN-TV (secondary, with Dumont primary) prior to the 1953 ABC/United
Paramount merger.
As I mentioned earlier, with NBC being on limited-coverage WTTV (which probably didn't even
make it to Indy when it transmitted from Bloomington), WFBM and WISH also had secondary
NBC affiliations. Also, it was common for ABC and Dumont to be split among all stations in a
market. I don't believe either network ran a full-day schedule in the early/mid '50s - I believe
ABC started doing so in 1957, and of course, Dumont was dead by mid-1955 other than sports.

This is the first I ever knew that WKJG (now WISE) was DuMont secondary, or that WINT (soon to
become WANE) was ABC secondary. Of course, this didn't last long, because DuMont was near
the end of the road at that time, and WPTA signed on in 1956 to take ABC full time at which
point WANE went with only CBS.
Also, the 2 baseball games aired that day were the Tribe and Tigers...Maybe Fort Wayne wasn't
quite the Cubbies town it is today.

Sounds like Richmond. WTVR signed on in 1948 (first station in the South, as they love to remind
viewers) with all four networks (including DuMont). In 1955 they lost NBC to WXEX (WRIC) in
Petersburg, 25 miles south of Richmond, for reasons still unclear; that was also the year DuMont
shut down all programming except boxing. WTVR then carried ABC and CBS for a year, yielding
CBS to WRVA (now WWBT; WRVA was the CBS radio affiliate in the golden age of that medium)
in '56. CBS wasn't happy with WRVA's performance (being on Ch. 12), and WTVR (Ch. 6) became
the CBS affiliate in 1960 and has been ever since. Then in 1965 WXEX (Ch. 8) swapped with Ch.
12, a move related (I think) to ABC's rather impressive performance in the 1964-65 season, and
things finally settled down; those affiliations have not changed since. Talk about enough to make
a TV-movie!
Sounds much like Cleveland early on, though It was a top 10 market in the early-mid 1950's.
1947-48
WEWS 5 Primarily CBS, but carried some DuMont shows early on..by the end of '48 early 49
carried some ABC as well
1948
WNBK 4 NBC Owned and Operated-Has been NBC since, through all ownership and call letter
changes over the years..
1949
WXEL 9 Major DuMont affiliate secondary ABC but by 1952-53 was carrying select CBS
primetime shows WEWS didnt clear..By 1954 WXEL was clearing some CBS afternoon soaps
March 1955
Official swap of affiliations-WEWS from CBS to ABC
WXEL from ABC to CBS-DuMont was dying as a network by this time..
Even after this switch, WEWS through the mid 60's carried an occasional NBC or CBS Prime time
show, but not often..Though WEWS had Huntley-Brinkley for a time in 1959 and The Tonight
Show from 1958-66..

I had also never heard of WKJG as DuMont secondary, but have seen listing which indicate WINT
as ABC secondary but the only ABC show I've ever seen listed was the Walt Disney anthology
show. Anyone know of any other ABC shows WINT carried before WPTA's sign on a couple of
years later?
Also, anyone know of any DuMont programs ever carried by WKJG? From what I can tell, there
are no DuMont or ABC programs on either the WINT or WKJG sked.

TV during World War II operated on a very limited schedule, Broadcast schedules as World War II
was coming to an end in the summer of 1945 were gradually expanding, with most stations in
the few cities that had TV service (New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Albany/Schenectady with
licensed commercial stations, Los Angeles with experimental stations) getting at least some
service five to six days a week from each operating station. The expansion of television station
schedules to fill the day would come largely in the postwar era.

There weren't many independents in the South in '73,
but there would be a second one in the Central Florida
edition about a year later: WSWB/35 Orlando. That one
didn't make it but another station on 35 did: WOFL, the
Fox station there. As for Ch. 44's starting time of 11:45
AM, I can't explain it; you'd think they'd have had kids'
shows and sitcom reruns in the morning. My only theory
is that most Bay Area programming was and is geared to
older viewers, most of whom--if they weren't outside--
were watching Mike Douglas or game shows in the morning.

Remember -- this is back in 1973, and outside the very largest markets, it was very common for
independent stations to run less than a full day schedule. For example, none of the Kaiser
Broadcasting stations (WKBD/50 Detroit, KBHK/44 San Francisco, WKBS/48 Philadelphia,
WUAB/43 Cleveland) signed on until mid-morning. Then KTNT/11 in Tacoma/Seattle didn't start
running a full morning schedule until it was sold to Gaylord around this time. For that matter, I'm
not even sure that WFLD/32 in Chicago ran a full morning schedule in 1973, although it's VHF
competitor, WGN/9 certainly did.
By the late seventies, much had changed, and almost all independent stations were on the air by
7 AM or earlier -- but in 1973, later sign ons were still quite common.
Regarding WSWB/WOFL in Orlando, this is sort of the same station. What happened was that
WSWB/35 landed in bankruptcy and was taken off the air -- but the license was sold in
bankruptcy court to the group that put it back on the air as WOFL a few years later. There's
actually a book about the battle in bankruptcy court for the license and assets of the failed
station -- it was a three way contest that pitted Ted Turner and Pat Robertson against the local
group that ultimately won the auction.

Remember -- this is back in 1973, and outside the very largest markets, it was very common for
independent stations to run less than a full day schedule. For example, none of the Kaiser
Broadcasting stations (WKBD/50 Detroit, KBHK/44 San Francisco, WKBS/48 Philadelphia,
WUAB/43 Cleveland) signed on until mid-morning. Then KTNT/11 in Tacoma/Seattle didn't start
running a full morning schedule until it was sold to Gaylord around this time. For that matter, I'm
not even sure that WFLD/32 in Chicago ran a full morning schedule in 1973, although it's VHF
competitor, WGN/9 certainly did.
Actually, at this point, WFLD/32 was also a Kaiser Broadcasting station (once-and-future owners
Field Communications, the previous year, entered into a minority partnership with Kaiser; by
1977, when Kaiser exited the broadcasting business, Field took over what remaining Kaiser
properties there were). Moreover, as of this period, WUAB was actually owned by United Artists
Broadcasting; the Kaiser station in Cleveland was the late WKBF/61. Alas, WFLD, like most UHF's
(and other Kaiser outlets), didn't sign on until the morning was almost over. There were two
other Kaiser stations as of this date: KBSC/52 in Corona/Los Angeles, CA, and WKBG/56 in
Cambridge/Boston, MA (co-owned with the Boston Globe; after the Globe sold its share to
Kaiser in 1974, WKBG's calls were changed to the current WLVI).

Regarding WSWB/WOFL in Orlando, this is sort of the same station. What happened was that
WSWB/35 landed in bankruptcy and was taken off the air -- but the license was sold in
bankruptcy court to the group that put it back on the air as WOFL a few years later. There's
actually a book about the battle in bankruptcy court for the license and assets of the failed
station -- it was a three way contest that pitted Ted Turner and Pat Robertson against the local
group that ultimately won the auction.
Won the license, but not much of the infrastructure. WSWB had sunk a lot of money into their
facilities, part of the reason for their financial downfall. The station was abruptly and
unceremoniously taken off the air in the middle of a program when U.S. Marshals showed up to
seize the equipment. The stuff was auctioned off to satisfy some of the debts, and
noncommercial WMFE made out like a bandit, getting the studio building and equipment for a
relative pittance and greatly improving their capabilities, forming the basis of what is still to this
day their studio location. When WOFL went on, they initially operated from a rather cramped
makeshift rented building in a not terribly nice area of town.

Re: Retro: Independent Sign Ons
In the 1970's, late morning sign ons for independents were pretty common except in places like
New York or LA. Throughout the 70's the New York and LA indies, WNEW-TV, WOR-TV, WPIX,
KTLA, KHJ-TV, KTTV, and KCOP all signed on at 7 AM or a bit earlier. But in Chicago, only WGN-TV
had a 7 AM or earlier sign on all along in the 70's. WFLD 32 would sign on at 11ish in the early
70's. Between 1973 and 1976, WFLD signed on at 7 AM during some times of the year like the
Fall and at 10 AM during the Summer. WSNS 44, I believe did not sign on until 11 AM well into
the late 70's. WFLD began permenant 6 AM or 7 AM sign ons by the end of 1976.
Philadelphia also had very late sign ons weekdays. 17 WPHL would not go on the air most days
until 10 AM or 11 AM well into the mid 1970's. They did not begin 7 AM sign on or earlier most
days until early 1979. Channel 29 WTAF (now WTXF) had 10 ro 11 AM sign on times until about
1973. They began 7 AM sign ons in the fall of 1973 and then reverted to 10:30 AM sign ons by
the winter of 1974. They returned to 7 AM sign ons in the fall of 1974 only to revert back to
10:30 AM by the summer of 1975. The Fall of 1975 meant 7 AM sign ons again for Channel 29.
But the SUmmer of 1976 meant again 10 AM sign ons. IN the Fall of 1976, Channel 29 resumed 7
AM sign ons but by the Spring of 1977 they were signing on at 9 AM. That fall. Channel 29 began
7 AM or earlier sign ons for good and finally kept a full day schedule. They would go 24 hours in
1985.
WKBS 48 had similar patterns to Channel 29 in terms of sign ons. Usually, when Channel 29
began 7 AM sign ons, Channel 48 would follow suit. WKBS TV also tended to have 7 AM weekday
sign ons beginning in 1974 during the September through New years periods. After New Years
until the last week of summer, Channel 48 also had 10 AM or 10:30 AM sign on times. In the
Winter of 1976, Channel 48 had 8 AM sign ons (due to the fact they carried the PTL Club for 2
hours). In the fall of 1976, Channel 48 began 6:30 AM sign ons but that winter of 77 they were
back to 10 AM sign ons. They had a similar pattern in the fall of 1977. From January of 1978 to
August of 1978, Channel 48 signed on at 10 AM but beginning the Fall of 78, Channel 48
resumed 6:30 AM sign ons and earlier and stayed this way until their 1983 demise.
IN San Francisco, KTVU 2 had 7 AM or earlier sign ons throughout the 70's while KBHK had a
similar pattern to its then sister station WKBS Philadelphia. Both independents in boston also
had late morning sign ons until about 1975. From 1975 to 77, their sign on times varied
depending on the time of year and by 1977 both WSBK and WLVI had sign ons of 7 AM or earlier.
Detroit's WKBD had a pattern similar to WKBS TV while WXON and WGPR had later sign ons
throughout the decade of the 70's. Washington DC, however had both Channels 5 and 20 signing
on by 7 AM as far back as 1974, Channel 5 dating back to the 60's with early sign ons. In
Cleveland, when Channel 61 went dark, WUAB then began earlier 7 AM sign ons. Dallas also had
KTVT 11 signing on at 7 AM throughout the 70's, while KXTX began 7 AM sign ons in the mid 70's
sometimes.
In smaller markets like New Orleans, 26 WGNO began 7 AM sign ons or earlier by 1975. In
Virginia Beach, 27 WYAH was signing on at 4 PM as late as 1970. By 1971 WYAH was on by 3 PM.
By 1972, WYAH was on the air by noon. In 1973, WYAH expanded their broadcast day to sign on
at 10 AM and they began 6 AM sign ons by the end of 1973. So by 1974, WYAH 27 had a 6:30 AM
sign on and was on the air nearly 20 hours a day. Though Christian owned back then, WYAH had
a strong schedule of programming by 1975, stronger than most secular independents.
One surprise about WTOG was that as the only independent in the market they had such a late
sign on. It seemed markets with multiple independents began early sign ons lateer in the 70's
while lone indies began earlier sign ons in the early 70's. Its possible that WTOG may have had
earlier sign ons in the fall of each year. WCIX Miami was not mentioned but I am sure they
signed on at 7 AM or earlier by 1974 or 75.

With about 100,000 TV sets in service nationwide in 1946, a majority of them in the New York
City area (the only area with more than one station in operation and with at least some stations
on the air every day at the time), TV schedules on both the local and network level were
limited--and would remain so until TV service expanded to more markets and more homes were
equipped with TV sets in the years between 1946 and 1949.

Re: Retro; New York City, Thursday, June 13, 1946
Trivia note: Red Benson was the first host of "Name That Tune," starting
on NBC radio in December 1952 and continuing through the first (1953-54)
television season, also on NBC. When the show moved to CBS in 1954,
Bill Cullen became host (I think Benson was under contract to NBC; somebody
from Philadelphia straighten me out on this), but then producer Harry Salter
wanted a singing host, and the one he found in 1955 made "Name That Tune"
one of the most popular shows of the decade: George DeWitt.
I have read that Benson bore a strong physical and vocal resemblance to
one of baseball's greatest announcers: Red Barber.

Maybe because M*A*S*H was still getting great ratings for WFLD at 10 PM. Of course, that
would be a wise decision on their part.
On a side note, odd that they're were listings for in-school programs for WTTW (ableit only a
half-hour block at 11AM) -- usually in TVG, they wouldn't be listed at all, other than a disclaimer
on the "channels listed" page. Did WTTW request TVG to provide listings?

Are you sure that Saturday, June 14, 1955 is right? Leave It To Beaver, Perry Mason and Have Gun
Will Travel did not premiere until 1957 and Oh, Susanna (Gale Storm Show) did not premiere
until 1956 and Lawrence Welk and Gunsmoke did not premiere on ABC and CBS until the fall of
1955.

Based on The Big Record listing (7:30 PM on "KOOL-TV channel 10 Phoenix, on film" )
the episode described aired on CBS Wednesday, June 4, 1958 at 8:30 PM ET, so this
could not have been any earlier than the following Saturday June 7, 1958. June 14
was also a Saturday in '58.

Some further Googling indicates this schedule must have been from Saturday,
June 14, 1958, as the Milwaukee Braves did play at the St. Louis Cardinals on
that date (11:25 AM listing on channels 10/13T/13A).

It is 1958; I caught it when I saw "Ted Mack's Amateur Hour"
on NBC; it was airing on the Peacock Network Saturdays at
10 (ET) at the time. Also, Lawrence Welk didn't go network
until July 2, 1955, and June 11 would have been three weeks
earlier.

1958 is the correct date, put 1955 by mistake

The Perry Mason episode aired in Phoenix and Tucson was on the network the
week before (June 7). I suppose each station was sent a 16mm film print, as
the air times were not the same (network feed was at 5:30) and I believe
KOLD at the time had its own Telco line for CBS; they did not link up to KOOL
via private microwave (and drop Telco) until sometime in 1959.
Meanwhile in Albuquerque, the Mason episode listed was that night's show on CBS.
Since it also aired out of pattern--and even later than the left coast feed--this too
must have been at 16mm print as I doubt KGGM had any tape machines then.
In 1958 was ABQ a larger TV market than PHX? If so, it might explain why ABQ got
a film for same-night play and PHX was a week behind.
A reminder that for the shows airing "in pattern" (taking the network feed), this was
the first DST period where the networks ran one-hour delayed feeds for standard time
areas, so an 8 PM EDT show was still on at 6 MST instead of 5 (Bob Crosby on NBC).

Maybe due to the fact that AZ did/does not go on DST, unlike the rest of the MT time zone. (we
are the same as Pacific time in the summer)

In 1958 the only places in the Mountain Time Zone on DST appear to have been a couple
areas in Montana and Los Alamos County, New Mexico.

All stations appear to have signed off by 11 PM.
The gaps in the published daily schedules of these stations are not omissions by the source, but
are typical of how television was programmed in its early years in most American markets.
During the spring and summer of 1949, no station in New York was yet broadcasting on a
continuous schedule from morning through the night, as would be customary just a few years
later. Stations would either operate on a split schedule with late morning and midday programs
followed by several hours of downtime before re-starting with their evening schedules (like
channels 2, 5. 7 and 11), or offer no programs in morning or midday, start the broadcast day with
an afternoon sign-on, and program continuously through the evening until roughly 11 PM
(channels 4 and 13).
Channel 9 (WOR-TV, later WWOR) is totally missing from these lists because it was still under
construction in June of 1949, would not begin testing for some weeks, and would not sign on for
the first time with a regular programming schedule until October 11 of that year.

Re: Retro; New York City, Monday, June 13, 1949
I noticed that "It Pays To Be Ignorant" was the summer replacement
for "Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts." "IPTBI" was quite popular on radio,
but never caught on on television, even though this version, as well as
the 1951 version that replaced Groucho for the summer, had the same
cast as the radio show (the syndicated 1973 version had Charles Nelson
Reilly, Joanne Worley, Billy Baxter, and host Joe Flynn--yes, Captain
Binghamton). Critics complained that Tom Howard and the panel spent
too much time looking down at their scripts (for those not familiar with the
show, a contestant from the audience would pull a question from a "dunce
cap" on stage; the questions were the sort of things Groucho asked for a
consolation prize, like "Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?" The panel never came
up with the right answer, and their quips and asides were all written out. The
idea was to satirize popular radio quizzes like "Information Please" and "Dr. IQ."
Or maybe the audience was getting too sophisticated; wait: this was when
Milton Berle was number one. I have heard a few broadcasts of the radio show;
give it a try. You might find it corny, but then again you might, as I do, find
yourself laughing.

What about Jackie Gleason's frequent "It Pays to Be Ignorant" segments on his 1962-66
American Scene Magazine, one of which featured Professor Irwin Corey and Jayne Mansfield
among the panel? Wouldn't that count as a revival attempt?
Speaking of the 1973 syndicated version, I noticed that too didn't fare so well . . . (I noticed in
the New York metro market, it aired on WTNH/8 in New Haven, CT, but from what I could tell,
none of the New York stations themselves picked it up.)

I don't recall the segments on the Gleason show, but Jayne
Mansfield and Prof. Irwin Corey would certainly be ideal for
that kind of a show. So yes, I'd say that was a revival attempt.
I was a freshman at the University of Georgia when the 1973 version
aired; none of the Atlanta stations carried it, but we got it on cable
on WLOS/13 Asheville, NC. I watched it a time or two, but I prefer
the original '40s version.

WCVB-TV (Channel 5/Boston) also ran the 1973 version of "It Pays To Be Ignorant". I recall
watching the show in the summer of 1974. Even after Joe Flynn's untimely death in that summer,
the station still ran repeats for a few weeks until the contract had expired.

And notice that KWSU did not have Sesame Street, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and The

Re: Retro: Toronto/Buffalo/Rochester Mon, June 16, 1958
Couple observations...
First, it's interesting to see what Buffalo TV looked like in the months just before channel 7,
WKBW-TV, signed on for the first time (its first broadcast was just after Thanksgiving in 1958),
and WBUF, Channel 17, was playing out the string as NBC's failed experiment in making a UHF
station work as an affiliate in a major market (which Buffalo then was). WGR-TV was the
country's number one ABC affiliate in terms of market share, and WBEN-TV was the strongest
affiliate in the CBS chain market-share-wise, while WBUF had a half to a third the share that
large market NBC affiliates usually commanded back in the day. In the eastern portion of the
Buffalo market, NBC viewers tended to point their antennas toward Rochester to watch WROC-
TV, then on Channel 5.
After November 1958, NBC audience shares in Buffalo went back to normal with WGR-TV picking
up the NBC affiliation and a lot of viewers, and CBS, while still tops in the market on Channel 4,
slumped some. The new kid on the VHF block, WKBW on Channel 7, had a strong full-market-
coverage signal from day one and kept most of the audience for ABC's programming which
Channel 2 had built in the preceding four years, performing well from the start for a newcomer.
Buffalo remained one of ABC's strongest markets.
Second, it's interesting to see who the news personalities in Western NY were. On Channel 2,
Roy Kerns was their chief anchor for about 15 years, though I believe he eventually retired and
handed it off to an anchor team of George Redpath and Pat Fagan. Over on Channel 4, Jack
Ogilvie was noon news anchor (it was the first and for many years the only station in town with a
noon local newscast); he'd eventually move over to WBEN Radio to be part of the morning show,
along with Jeff Kaye and myself...he passed away at the age of 57 in 1979. John Corbett, who
handled the noontime talk show which followed, was with Channel 4 for many years until he
retired in the 1980s. Chuck Healy, who's not listed in TV Guide, handled the 6 and 11 anchor
chores (as Jack Ogilvie remembered it and told me about those days, the evening newscast was
unusual at Channel 4 because it actually began at 5:45, not 5:55, and lasted 30 minutes even
then--TV Guide made a minor error in the schedule.
It's also interesting to note that Channel 17 in its final days was off the air in the 9 AM hour and
only ran network programming most of the day, although it had a 7 and 11 PM newscast with no
anchor promoted in the listings--although Rick Azar, their weathercaster, was mentioned. He'd
become far better known and remembered from his 40 year run, which began that November, as
Channel 7's sports director and one of its initial announcers--his brother, who is a senior
government official in Rochester, told me Rick actually voiced Channel 7's first sign-on
announcement on November 30, 1958.

Channel 7 wasn't even originally allocated to Buffalo - I've read they originally had Channel 8 as
an allocation, but the owner of CKNX Radio in Wingham, Ont. successfully lobbied to have a
Channel 8 allocation moved south from Owen Sound to Wingham, displacing one from Buffalo.
Had Buffalo kept Channel 8, the later changes in Rochester might not have happened and CBLT
would still be on Channel 6. At least from what I can tell.

Channel 7 had two lives in Buffalo's allocation table. The first was the orignal FCC allocation
scheme of 1946, which envisioned four VHF stations in the city (channel 4, which WBEN applied
for the moment the table came out, and got; and channels 7, 9 and 13, which drew crowds of
applicants which jammed up the whole process). Then came the 1948 freeze while Uncle Sam
sorted out the twin problems of interference and scarcity of channel allocations for a growing
country's needs. They tried twice to come up with plans--one in 1949 envisioned a Buffalo
Channel 8 but that was scrapped when it was realized it short-spaced an existing station (WHEN-
TV) in Syracuse. The final 1952 allocation plan brought back Channel 7 for Buffalo and dropped
Channel 2 into the market, as well as putting a second VHF signal back in Rochester (which was
going to be left with just WHAM-TV on Channel 6 along with a bunch of UHFs under the 1949
plan) on Channel 10. The Feds worked out a deal to put WGR-TV on the air on Channel 2 by
1954, but the battle for Channel 7 between WKBW and the Courier-Express wasn't resolved until
KB finally prevailed in 1957 and got WKBW-TV on the air a little over a year later.
Meanwhile in Rochester WVET and WHEC worked out a share-time arrangement to get Channel
10 on the air in 1953. WVET's owners eventually bought WHAM-TV (which had been renamed
WROC and moved to channel 5) and sold their share of channel 10 to WHEC, which took over
24/7 use of the channel in 1961.
UHF crashed and burned, with two stations (WBUF on Channel 17 and WBES on Channel 59)
failing in Buffalo after getting on the air in the 1950s, and no one even getting to the stage of
building out their CPs in Rochester. That was repeated in market after market across America
where in the days before every TV set had to have all-channel capability, people just didn't
bother retrofitting their sets to get UHF signals.
Between 1957 and 1962 ABC lobbied like crazy to get the tables rewritten to put additional VHF
full power allocations into the system so they could get viable affiliates on the air in a number of
markets. They didn't get everything they wanted but they did get additional allocations in
markets all over the country, including all the major upstate New York cities as well as
Providence, St. Louis, New Orleans, Tampa, Sacramento/Stockton and Miami. In most of those
cities the FCC just found a way to squeeze the new stations in without crowding anyone out or
forcing other stations to move, but the upstate New York table east of Buffalo had to be
substantially added or rewritten. We know the eventual result...more stations on the VHF
channels, each of them affiliated with ABC and each of them eventually proving successful,

Re: Retro: Quebec/Eastern Ontario Mon, June 15, 1981
Perhaps the latest time slot I have seen a network affiliate schedule children's fare (when they
did carry it). And why Porky Pig? Did a competing station with rights to Bugs Bunny issue a non-
compete clause?

I think WPTZ was referring to the old, colorised "W7" Porky Pig shorts, which was syndicated
separately from the other Looney Tunes packages.

CIMT should be marked as TVA.
Did the CBC have different unions for their English and French networks, or was this just a case
of the English network having its schedule ready in time despite a labour dispute?

Don't know about 1981, but today, both CBC and Radio-Canada are under the same union in
Quebec and Moncton, NB, while the rest of Canada were under a different union. As a result,
when the Toronto-based CBC strikes, CBMT in Montreal theoretically could keep their local
newscast while all others were suspended. The reason I said "theoretically" -- when the union
struck around 1998, the CBC went on a special strike-schedule, with only national-based
newscasts and no local news; CBMT, under a different union, kept their local news on-air, pre-
empting or delaying some CBC programming. However, they still had to move their late newscast
from 11PM to 10:30PM, following the CBC's national newscast (which was seen in place of "The
National").
When the CBC union struck in 2005, it closed down all local CBC newscasts, including CBMT,
even though CBMT would not have been affected -- by this time, CBC's English operations were
centralised through Toronto, making it impossible for CBMT to break off and go its own way.
As for 1981, a Wikipedia article on the CBC implied that the CBC struck that year in a dispute
with NABET -- it was unknown if that strike was related to the Radio-Canada strike that year.

That checks. All times in this listing are Atlantic Time (AT).
should be Oakland at Baltimore per Wikipedia and other sources would have been at 9:30am in
Oakland.
Yes, you're right. I guess I got the teams mixed up between looking at the listings and typing the
teams.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Thursday, June 15, 1972
1 PM Merry-Go-Round
bp, a couple for you.
1) Was Merry-Go-Round WRCB's local women's show? It sure sounds like it, since I seriously
doubt that would be a name for a newscast.
2) Would you guess that WDEF's 7 p.m. newscast was aimed at the viewers in the Central Time
Zone (where it would be 6)? Keep in mind that the city of Chattanooga itself sits just barely
inside the Eastern Time Zone, with the western part of that market in Central. By the 1970s, 7
p.m. news in the East was becoming very rare due to the popularity of the Prime Time Access
Rule syndie shows. However, I do understand that it is making something of a comeback
nowadays in some areas.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Thursday, June 15, 1972
I don't know a great deal about the Chattanooga market,
but I would assume that "Merry-Go-Round" was a combination
women's/talk show, something on the order of "Sandra And
Friends," which made a local celebrity out of WFMY Greensboro's
soon-to-retire news anchor Sandra Hughes (to prevent confusion,
she's spent her entire career in Greensboro). Prior to "Merry-Go-
Round," WRCB did have a 1 PM newscast, called "Bulletin."
WDEF's 7 PM newscast might have been aimed at areas of Tennessee
and northern Alabama within the station's coverage area but also within
the Central time zone; no one else in the market was doing it. In fact,
you'll notice that WTVC's news aired at 5:30 (4:30 CT), although it would
move to 6/5 in the fall, with ABC's newscast moving to 6:30/5:30.
Or it just could be that sister station WTVR Richmond was very successful
with a 7 PM local news, so WDEF might have decided to try it. I don't recall
that WDEF's was very successful, however; in fact, the number-one show at 7,
indeed in the entire Chattanooga market at the time, was on WRCB:
"Truth Or Consequences."
Thanks for clearing that up; I was not sure if they would be showing the animated series from
fourteen years later. ;D
I think you've pointed that out to me before; the reason I do it is because most people probably
don't know when the animated series started, so to avoid confusion I always put Jay North's
name in there

Wow. The early morning lineups on the ABC stations were deplorable. The Providence one was
the only one with any news!
Look again at WCVB-5's listings. They had an hour of news from 6 to 7 am.
The 'news for the deaf' segments, IIRC, were 5 minute summaries of the news which featured
someone superimposed on the screen, perhaps inside an oval, translating what the anchor is
reading into sign language.
Think Garrett Morris from SNL - only quieter! ;D
But yes, WCVB had an hour of local news in the morning. Good Morning America premiered the
following year (1975).

I should have anticipated that question, so here goes:
Ch. 5 2:30 Another World (then 90 minutes)
Ch. 18 2:30 Another World
4 PM Superman
4:30 Munsters
Ch. 41 2:30 Underdog
3 PM Popeye And Our Gang
4 PM Woody Woodpecker And Friends
4:30 Battle Of The Planets
You might note "Superman" on two stations: WLEX
and WXIX. At the time there was quite a bit of interest
in the George Reeves version, mainly because of the success
of the first two Christopher Reeve "Superman" movies. Those
movies have been playing on AMC recently (although "Superman
II" is the Richard Donner cut, released, I believe, in 2006), along
with "Superman III" (with Richard Pryor in the cast) and "Superman
Returns" (Brandon Routh as the Man of Steel).

One correction to your note:Superman II would not be
released(at least in the U.S.) for another 12 months.

Lexington would be without an
Independent station until February
1986 when WDKY Channel 56
signed on.

It appears that M*A*S*H reruns
were not airing in Louisville or
Cincinnati at this point.

IIRC, WHAS had M*A*S*H and aired it at 5:30. I'm not sure why it wasn't on the schedule. Based
on memory, I believe WXIX had MASH in Cincinnati. Why it wasn't on the schedule is another
mystery considering M*A*S*H debuted in syndication the previous fall.

The move from 62 to 36 was extensive and included bringing down the old tower and replacing
with a stronger tower. It actually took a little longer than scheduled. Lexington was still cable free
at the time so ABC only existed via high gain antenna from WKRC or WLKY.

Maybe both stations took a break from airing M*A*S*H during the summer and aired something
else.

bp, wonder if WTVQ ran ads in that edition promoting the channel change? If the station did, I
can just see the tagline now: "Next week, turn to 36 for the new TVQ." Some months back in
another topic, I joked about the station being on the channel 62 frequency in the first place,
beginning back in '68.
Whatever your attitude toward that, you can bet the farm that the station's Nielsens improved
almost instantly after the change, mainly because the channel was closer to the other two
network affils, both UHFs, WLEX (18) and WKYT (27) on the dials--and back then, that made a big
difference, in the day before remote controls became widespread. You didn't have to whirl the
channel knob all the way up--I am sure in the early days back in the early '70s, folks in central
Kentucky just got tired of doing that after awhile and ignored the channel (and thus ABC
offerings) altogether for years. It is obvious that management picked up on that and kept on--
well, bitching, to put it mildly--at the FCC for years to get off 62. I think about a couple of years
before the channel switch, new owners came in and got aggressive about the matter, and I
suspect they had considerably more clout in Washington than did the local businessman who
first put WTVQ on the air a decade earlier.
Mind you, all of that is speculation, but let us all face facts: nothing ever got done then, much
like now, without the wheel squeaking hard enough to get some grease, in a manner of
speaking. A few years later, with cable penetration, WTVQ might not have even bothered with
the whole thing (except perhaps to increase power), but in 1980, most folks still had outdoor
jobs or UHF rings on the backs of their sets, so this was likely the only way the station would ever
become a truly viable operation.

jobs or UHF rings on the backs of their sets, so this was likely the only way the station would ever
become a truly viable operation.
The changeover ads produced by WTVQ featured a baby and a hand fastening a pin to a diaper.
The headline read, "We're Making a Change". The copy had the details.
As far as the reason, it was dial position. As Mike mentioned UHF tuners were all about twisting
the knob. Also, there were many inferior UHF tuners available. A TV that could receive a clear
picture on Channel 18 and 27 had noise on Channel 62. One blessing Channel 62 had was being
located near and eventually across the street from Channel 27. It didn't require an additional
antenna since Lexington TV stations were spread out.
The allocation was part of a legal battle after WTVQ moved to Channel 36. Two groups fought for
the allocation. One was a ministry and the other specialized in general interest programming.
The latter won the allocation with an arrangement with the ministry to offer time. WLKT signed
on the air in 1988. The station was plagued with technical problems including a microwave link
that was not high enough. Also, WDKY signed on the air two years earlier. They had first dibs on
available revenue, programming and viewership. Then the ministry sued for breach of contract.
WLKT lasted about a year before signing off. Channel 62 returned ten years later as WBLU, a
LPTV.

years later as WBLU, a LPTV.
Is WBLU still on the air today? Last I heard, Daystar snatched that station up during the
bankruptcy auction of Equity Broadcasting, the previous owners of WBLU.

Was this the NBC version picked up from WSB or the weekly syndicated nighttime version?
According to what we know, Gong was about a month away from cancellation on NBC due to
Chuck Barris snubbing the Peacock channel's demands for him to clean up his act. I would say
that this was a WSB reject; from what I recall, the syndie Gong mainly aired on weekends or in
Prime Time Access--and the latter would have been on network affils, not indies like WATL.

Does anyone know when WTCG-17's summer lineup went into effect and what 17 had weekdays
before the summer lineup in 1978?. I would like to see any May 1978 WTCG 17 sched with the
weekday lineup , or a lineup from September 1978 of WTCG 17.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Monday, June 19, 1978
First, The Gong Show on Ch. 36 is the NBC version;
ironically, WSB carried the syndicated version Fridays at 7:30.
Second, here is Ch. 17's lineup for Monday, May 20, 1978; I'm
assuming the summer schedule went into effect around the first
of June.

Re: Retro:Cleveland/Akron/Youngstown Thursday, November 9, 1961
I should add a few things about the
game-show hosts: Bob Barker, of course, hosted
"Truth Or Consequences." (Bill Cullen was hosting

the original "Price Is Right.") "Concentration" was
hosted by Hugh Downs; "Make A Face" by Bob
Clayton, who would become host of "Concentration"
after Downs left in 1969 (even though NBC wanted
Ed McMahon, he wasn't very good at it).
Bud Collyer was host of "Number Please," which had
replaced "Beat The Clock" on ABC at 12:30, then moved
to 2 PM. And Don Morrow was host of "Camouflage."

Re: Retro: Columbus/Zanesville Wed, June 22, 1988
Interesting lineups. Do you know where Time Warner got the NBC, CBS and ABC signals for
"Channel 1?" Maybe from Dayton affiliates?
I thought it was interesting that some (but not all) of the pre-empted network shows that
appeared on Channel 1 were also on WWAT.
Maybe Warner Cable (Time Warner did not exist for a couple of years yet) did not carry WWAT at
the time, at least in Columbus.
Please post Columbus/Zanesville listings for Saturday 6/18/1988.
WHIZ 18-NBC Zanesville
relayed on 71 Coshocton and 80 Cambridge
I thought by 1988 (with some translator exceptions) channels 70-83 were but a distant
broadcasting memory?
They might well have been..I've seen 71 and 80 in Southern Ohio TV Guides since the late
1960's..having them listed this late may have just been laziness on TV Guide's part..

Kind of funny that the same program, pre-empted locally by WCMH, is simulcasted on three

Hmmm, was this a spinoff of the popular cult movie "Faces of Death"? ;D (Kidding - we're
human! I think I know which show you were referring to here...)
So WSYX didn't clear the ABC cartoon that aired at 11 AM (Bugs Bunny & Tweety, I think)?
And how about WBNS? They're about as big a butcher on the CBS Saturday morning lineup as

Interesting that there are apparently so few U.S. imports: XEW had none; XHTV had Patty Duke
and (!!) Grindl (an odd and obscure choice); plus Laramie on XHGC. None of the Spanish titles
seem to translate to anything that might be a U.S. show. I'm especially surprised not to see any
U.S. cartoons on the schedule (popular and relatively easy to dub).
At the time all the stations in Mexico City except Channel 11 (a public station, which wasn't even
broadcasting that day) were owned by the Azcarraga family, so they had a monopoly and could
simply show whatever they wanted. The 1974 schedules on this site indicate a lot more
American content on Mexican TV by that time, most likely because by then there were
competing stations not owned by the Azcarraga family - privately-owned XHTM-8, government-
owned XHDF-13, and a couple cable channels, one of which carried programming in English.

Re: Retro: Abitibi-Temiscamingue, Quebec Mon, June 25, 1973
Interesting that CKSO didn't seem to have any local newscast. I believe Crossfire, however, was a
local show that remained on the schedule in the MCTV years.
At that time CKSO had full rebroadcasters in Timmins, Kearns, and Kapuskasing, but those three
were spun off as their own station in 1980 (CITO) when all the English stations in Timmins, North
Bay, and Sudbury came under common ownership as MCTV.

Re: Retro: Bowling Green, KY Mar 21, 1998
According to that veritable storehouse of information Wikipedia (!), with WNKY, channel 40, now
having NBC and CBS subchannels, the Louisville and Nashville stations have all been eliminated
from southern Kentucky cable systems. I wonder if longtime viewers miss the likes of WSMV,
WAVE, and WTVF, or if nobody really paid attention to them being dropped (I suspect more than
latter, given the increasing disinterest in networks and local programming these days).
While it looks strange at first to see Louisville UHF WLKY on the Bowling Green system instead of
VHF WHAS, there is an explanation. Local station WBKO had been an ABC affil since the late
1960s. WLKY had been with ABC since its 1961 beginnings, while WHAS was a CBS affil,
something the Bowling Green market did not have until, believe it or not, 2007 (on WNKY-DT2).
So WHAS took up one channel on the old 12-channel lineup and stayed there until WHAS and
WLKY switched networks in 1990. Since it would not have been fair to CBS to have only one
station (WTVF), while NBC would have had two (WSMV and WAVE) and ABC a full three (WBKO,
WHAS and WKRN), the cable systems in and around southern Kentucky decided to drop WHAS in
the early 1990s and use relays, now quite inexpensive, to bring the WLKY signal southward. As
for NBC, when WNKY joined the net in 2001, I suspect WAVE at least had already been dropped,
and WSMV was likely on the way out, too, if not already gone.
It was a question of balance, dear Watson. Now, in these days of a gazillion niche networks, it is
all ancient history.
Interesting WKRN (ABC) is on Cable 13. Besides the ingress issue, I assume during network
programming WBKO replaced WKRN.
The last time I looked at a Daily News the only non-Bowling Green OTA still on cable is WTVF
burried on a high cable number. The rest of the networks are subchannels of WBKO and WNKY.
WTVF has a de-facto status on many cable systems in southern Kentucky. Until recently they
were on cable systems as far north as McLean County Kentucky. That changed when Time
Warner took over the system and imported the Owensboro line up from adjoining Daviess
County. WSMV is found on a few cable systems north of the border but not as frequent as WTVF.
Ummm ... things get more interesting since McLean County is actually in the Evansville-
Owensboro market. Much of that whole section of western Kentucky must have been a toss-up
between Evansville stations and Nashville-Bowling Green ones OTA. I would guess WTVW (then
Evansville ABC), WSM/V (Nashville NBC), WLAC/WTVF (Nashville CBS), all VHFs, would have been
the preferred configuration for a lot of folk. Some of the cable systems in towns might have thus
had a complement of nine stations (including the two PBS outlets, WNIN Evansville, a VHF, and
Kentucky Educational Television, all translators on UHF), leaving only three blank for local public
access and/or a weather display. These boundary areas between markets are a disappearing
species--or perhaps have already disappeared, as the Bowling Green case seems to prove.
Actually, Owensboro isn't part of the market name. Speaking of Owensboro, Time Warner still
offers WDRB Louisville on cable and has been on the system since the early seventies. The
agreement today between the Evansville TV stations and the cable system allows WDRB on the
system if offered on a high dial position.
Time Warner Owensboro has swallowed up the surrounding systems and offer the Owensboro
line up. IIRC Hancock County, one county east of Owensboro, offered Evansville and Louisville on
their line up prior to Time Warner. Ohio County, south of Owensboro and not part of Time
Warner, at last check still offered WBKO and possibly WSMV along with Evansville. Madisonville
as of 2006 still had WPSD Paducah and WBKO on their cable and that is part of the Evansville
DMA.

Although until it became a UPN (and later My) affiliate in 2003, it would be listed as part of the
"Though not listed in this edition" disclaimer, was channel 46 licensed to East St. Louis on the air
yet in '86 with Home Shopping Network programming? If not, when did they sign-on?

Yeah, I agree, what hit song did The Beatles have back in 1986?
Was "Hit Makers" a regular program that aired weekly, a la "Night Flight"?

Channel 46 came on in 1989 as WHSL, with the Home Shopping Network. It became UPN and
changed calls to WRBU in 2003. Three years later, UPN went away and WRBU went with its
current MyNetworkTV affiliation.

WOR-TV, Channel 9 (now WWOR), was still under construction and in preliminary testing; it
would sign on and begin regular programming in October of 1949.
All stations in New York ended their broadcast day before midnight in the summer of 1949.

Re: Retro: New York City, Tuesday, June 28, 1949
WABC-TV (changed from previous calls WJZ-TV in 1953) was one of the last stations in New York
to expand the later hours of its broadcast day past 11:30 P.M., in February 1956 when they
launched the late-night movie series The Night Show.
It wasn't until 1950 that WPIX was perhaps the first station in New York to launch a late night
movie show, with their Night Owl Theatre (sometimes spelled Nite Owl Theatre) which ran
through 1956 or '57; it was probably in response that WCBS, in 1951, launched their ultimately
long-running Late Show.

4-Fun-for-All (comedy/variety) with Olson and Johnson, Al Goodman Orchestra (premiere)
Identified in the credits as "Fireball Fun-for-all", there's a YouTube kinnie of the first 15 minutes
of one of these shows (definitely not from the date advertised) that'll give a good feel for the
style, adapted from their successful stage style, the most notable example of which is the
Hellzapoppin' stage revue. It's pretty interesting; most accounts say that Olsen & Johnson's style
didn't work on television, but I'd say they gave it a good shot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC8fz-I54E8
The first fifteen minutes of the movie version of Hellzapoppin' are on YouTube as well -
apparently, unfortunately, we'll never see the stage version, which is what started all the fuss in
the first place, but the movie version's pretty mind-bending for its time.

KTBS - Channel 3 - Shreveport, LA (ABC)
7:30 AM - Miss Barbara
Looks like a local version of Romper Room judging by the title and I believe that it's the first time
(if it is Romper Room) that the person's name is included in the listings.

Interesting to note that KLTV never aired the ABC daytime lineup in pattern until about
sometime in the early 1980s.....

I don't recall how late they were NBC Primary. (Wikipedia says 'til 84, but I worked for satellite
station KTRE starting in '82. By then both stations were primary ABC and had been for "a while.")
Still the soaps would have been among the last to go. Fans get very vocal about their soaps
changing, and most East Texans didn't have the option to switch to another NBC stations.

I don't know when Honey West aired on ABC, but it seems really odd to JIP the Tonight Show for
something that probably could have run at some other time.

Honey West was Friday 9/8.
You're right, there must have been some weekend late-night or fringe time available
in which to air the ocelot.

Another burning Q--did Carson get JIPped on other weeknights too, and if so, for what?

Ch. 7's primetime was pretty much all-ABC toward the late 1970s; I know they still had NBC
daytime soaps into 1981.

What kind of a program was Stacey's Country Jubilee? Was it some two-hour country music
program from the Ozarks? It strikes me as funny that WEMT(now WVII) in Bangor would air it
late on Saturday night.
