Re: Retro: Manitoba/Saskatchewan Wed, Dec 3, 1969
Hope you don't mind me bumping an old thread, but I just registered just to post on this. This
was a fun read... it's neat to see the extra info TV Guide included that wasn't in the newspaper
listings.
CKCK 2-CTV Regina
12:30 News/Weather/Sports (Ross Carlson/Gord McInnes)
12:45 Guest House (Gord's here too)
Gord McInnes was a fixture on CKCK-TV from the mid 60s until the early 90s. As announcers go,
he's probably the voice I most identify with the station. He was also a weatherman, producer,
host, and later on was director of community relations. Here's a picture:
http://news.webshots.com/photo/12414...43153669dpPOtN
Ross Carlson, I don't know anything about, but here's a picture as well.
http://news.webshots.com/photo/21951...43153669rHvNFY
6:00 News/Sports/Weather (McLeod/Wells/Sandison)
More than 30 years after his death, the station's original news anchor Jim McLeod is still
remembered fondly. John Wells went on to a long career with sports network TSN. And Johnny
Sandison, weatherman, interviewer, announcer, was so much more, probably the most loved
broadcaster ever in Saskatchewan.
11:00 CTV National News (c; Harvey Kirck/Max Keeping)
This is odd... Harvey was solo anchor at this point in time. However, the Ottawa bureau used to
feed news items from the capital live into the newscast, and Max Keeping may have been the

11:20 News/Sports/Weather (Hamilton/Barnes/Kozak)
That should be Spence Bozak, late night weatherman until the mid-70s... later worked at an ad
agency. News anchor Harold Hamilton later replaced Jim McLeod as the morning news anchor
on CK Radio, and sports anchor Ron Barnes also moved to radio full time (and changed his last
name to Barnet at some point.) Here's a picture of Hamilton, Bozak, and Garry Aldridge at the
sports position: http://news.webshots.com/photo/12423...43153669iTDNJG

Re: Retro: Southern Saskatchewan Mon, Apr 23, 1984
Interesting to see CKCK 2, the CTV station in Regina, ran The Flintstones at Noon followed by a
12:30 local newscast, same as CFCF 12, the CTV station in Montreal did for many years, well after
the Flintstones stopped getting run by major US stations. There wasn't a Canadian connection
with the Flintstones, was there?
In fact, when TQS signed on in Quebec, co-owned with CFCF, TQS also ran Les Pierrafeu at noon
followed by a 12:30 newscast.
I also see Don Harron had a one hour show at 3pm on CKCK. Harron was a regular on Hee Haw
for many years. Was this a variety show? I also see CICC 10 Yorkton ran Harron as a late night
show after CTV and local news.
CKCK 2 was the only over-the-air broadcaster to go 24 hours, running two-hour movies at
Midnight and 2am, followed by the Waltons at 4am and Six Million Dollar Man at 5am. Not even
the U.S. stations in No. Dakota were going 24 hours then.

In Saskatchewan or in Canada? If the latter, a few stations already had 24-hour service (CJON-TV
in St. John's was the first, in 1972). Though of course, CKCK would later go back to signing off at
nights, showing an old-school Indian-head-style test pattern after dark.

The Flintstones was run in the Maritimes by ATV/CTV for many years, from I think 1975 to 1985.
Prior to 1975, CHSJ had it forr awhile. ASN (or ATV-2 as it was sometimes called) picked up The
Flintstones shortly after 1985. The Brady Bunch was the most common "running mate" to The
Flintstones in the noon-hour slot on ATV.

It was a talk show, similar to Mike and Merv...Harron succeeded Alan Hamel (aka Mr. Suzanne
Somers) in the slot for CTV.

I heard CFRN/Edmonton had the same arrangement too.

Alan Thicke had the show between Hamel and Harron. I believe all three incarnations of the
show were produced at BCTV Vancouver.

Yes, that's true, I went to tapings of all three shows. One had John Candy as a guest.

Yes, Family Ties was on NBC's daytime schedule until the end of December, 1986. The series
officially
entered syndication in the fall of 1987(and I believe aired on KSTW in the Seattle-Tacoma
market).
Classic Television must always be preserved!

2:30 PM Love, American Style (bw)
Love, American Style was always shown in color. A TV Guide mistake here.
4:00 PM Lost In Space (x2)
Did they show edited 30 minute versions of Lost In Space thus the 2 episodes. If they were
showing 2 back to back hour episodes they would have shown it at 5:00 PM also.
6:30 PM I Spy
I have a feeling that this is not the Robert Culp/Bill Cosby show of the same name unless like Lost
In Space they were also showing edited 30 minute versions of I Spy as well.
re: Lost in Space, TVG had it listed for both 4 and 4:30...I always thought LIS was an hour, but
your theory about edited 30 min eps seems to make sense....29 also did the same thing for
Frightenstein when they ran it in the mid 70s, IIRC the syndicator for that show chopped it down
to 30 min and added a laugh track for American audiences...

Re: Retro: Toronto/Buffalo/Central & Southern Ontario Fri, June 30, 1972
I Spy was the title of a half hour syndicated series in the late 1950's..It's possible Channel 29 was
showing this version..
WBEN 4-CBS Buffalo
9:30 News
9:55 CBS News
A TVG listings error? CBS daytime didn't start until 10 ET, and there couldn't
have been a quickie net newscast at 9:55 since the second feed of the Captain
(fed out of the dairy barn) was 9-10 ET.
Or confusion about DST in Ontario (they thought Ontario wasn't on DST in 1971).

What's goin on here??? Was the CBLT version the NEW Dick Van Dyke Show??? (in color)???
11:40 Movie "Operation Kid Brother" (bw)
I'm fairly certain this little gem was made in color.
Yes, but...
Many times a station would order B&W prints of color movies in a given syndication
package since it was cheaper.
Heck, it's been discussed on these boards where seasons 2 & 3 of The Lucy Show
were filmed in color but printed for CBS airing in B&W, as the Eye net didn't really
start spooling up with color until fall '65.
4:00 Lost in Space (x2)
I see no possible way ch. 29 could've aired an edited LIS episode! The TV's I had in those days
had no UHF, although my sister owned a small portable at her house, SHE could get ch. 29 and I
used to watch it sometimes at her house.

Re: Retro: Vancouver/Victoria Sun, June 22, 1986
When was the word "infomercial" coined? I thought back in 1986, TV listings would actually list
what the infomercial was.
I've always wondered if some of these major Canadian cities were included in some of the U.S.
DMA's, wouldn't they be a lot bigger? If Vancouver is watching Seattle affiliates for US TV,
wouldn't that make Seattle a larger market? Atleast in targeting advertisers that do business in
both countries. Somebody offer insight, please.
KVOS was considered to be in the Vancouver market. They even had offices in Vancouver, but
then the rules changed vis a vis cross border advertising. Then the cable channel was bumped
from 12 to 30, to make room for a Victoria channel 12. So KVOS has lost most of it's impact in
this area.

actors have in common?

Yes, that's one thing. But I was thinking of something else. A word in the title to the movie
Fredric March was in on that day may provide a clue.

I did read something about Mr. Tracy being considered for the role that was ultimately played by
Mr. March in The Desperate Hours.

Yes, I think he would have been effective in that role too.
Both actors did play a same role (or maybe I should say same roles) in different movies. And the
role(s) they both played is the common thing to which I was referring.

Re: RETRO: MARITIMES, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1974
The answer to my question as to the connection between Fredric March and Spencer Tracy can
be found in the contents of The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour on CBC. I thought it interesting
that movies starring both of them aired on TV the Monday before.
Interesting also that It's a Mystery, Charlie Brown with a "prehistoric bird's nest", laboratory, and
Snoopy in 19th century detective's garb aired on CBC the Monday before.

Joe Pyne, huh? Was this a precursor to "Press Your Luck", only with a hippie instead of a
whammy?

The WFLA-TV prime sked reveals that KVOA-TV Tucson was not the only
NBC affil to pass on Camp Runamuck (7:30/6:30).
Mitch (8:30/7:30) was the summer replacement for the short-lived Sammy
which second-season replaced the also short-lived (and B&W) Convoy.

Has Mr. Roberts (9:30/8:30) ever surfaced on DVD? Not knock-offs, I'd like
to see the show copied from the pristine 35mm negatives, if they still exist.

[i]The Flintstones[/i aired on Ch. 9 Sundays at 5.
Showdown was a game that pitted a team of
men against a team of women; each team had something
in common (for example, a team of fighter pilots against a
team of hairdressers). Pyne would ask a multiple-choice
question and if a contestant missed, that player (seated on
a breakaway chair) would drop to the floor, accompanied
by an insult from Joe. The game continued until one team was
completely eliminated. The show also featured a juvenile rock
group, the Bantams, and they--along with announcer Kenny
Williams--got their share of insults as well. The whole mess was
produced by Merrill Heatter and Bob Quigley, who would produce
the show's much more successful replacement, Hollywood Squares.

9 AM Movie: "Look Who's Laughing" (Edgar Bergen and
Charlie McCarthy)
While Bergen/McCarthy had large parts in this movie, Radio stars Fibber McGee and Molly (Jim
and Marian Jordan) actually had Co-Star billing here..With Harold Peary (Gildersleeve), Isabel
Randolph (Mrs. Uppington). and Harlow Wilcox from the Fibber/Molly show...A young Lucille Ball
is seen as Bergen's secretary and Neil Hamilton (Batman TV series) is also featured..

That's all true. The action takes place mainly
in Wistful Vista, where Fibber McGee and Molly
lived; Bergen and McCarthy happen to land there
and the fun begins. I guess for reasons of space

TV Guide didn't point out that the "Fibber" cast
and--yes--Lucille Ball were featured in the movie.

Re "Showdown," I'm not sure I get the meaning of "Press
Your Luck" with a hippie instead of a whammy, so perhaps
I should explain to those of you who are too young (or weren't
born yet) who Joe Pyne was.
Pyne was a radio and television talk-show host of conservative
bent whose specialty was insulting people he didn't agree with
(his favorite insult was to tell a guest to "gargle with razor blades");
he was a forerunner of Wally George and Morton Downey Jr. in the
'80s (and I didn't believe Downey for one minute when he claimed he'd
never heard of Pyne). Pyne had a daily radio show and a weekly syndicated
talk show that usually aired on weekends (late Saturday night was a common
time). His heyday was from around 1965 until his death of lung cancer in 1970;
he was only 45 at the time of his passing.

Pyne served in the Marines in World War II and was wounded in the leg; he
lost the same leg to a rare form of cancer years later. An urban legend which
has never been verified is that he once asked Frank Zappa, "Does your long hair
make you a woman?" Zappa's supposed reply: "Does your wooden leg make you
a table?" Another guest (and apparently this story is true) asked Pyne if his
wooden leg made it difficult for him to have sex with his wife.
Pyne's show was sometimes the equivalent of wrestling, with chairs being thrown
or Pyne tossing a guest off the set (if the guest didn't leave voluntarily), the latter
being a common practice of Wally George years later.
For "Showdown" he toned down his act a little. It was his only game show.
Ironically, Pyne often called cigarettes "coffin nails." Yet he was a chain smoker
and, as I pointed out, died of lung cancer.

Re: RETRO: MARITIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, 1972
A station carrying "Anything You Can Do," "Beat The Clock,"
and "Truth Or Consequences." Do Canadian viewers like stunt-

game shows? And wasn't this around the time Gene Wood left
"AYCD" and began hosting "Beat The Clock"?
Also, you should point out that the Maine stations are listed
Atlantic time (one hour ahead of Eastern); I had to stop and
remind myself of that fact when I saw things like "Mannix" at
11 PM (10 PM ET).
Another suggestion would be, for French channels, to point out which programs are translations
of English-language shows or movies -- for instance, not everyone knows that "Roquet Belles
Oreilles" is the French dub of "Huckleberry Hound".
It's a nice idea but I doubt I would be very consistent with it. Inevitably, there would be
translated English-language shows I'm not familiar with. Roquet Belles Oreilles/Huckleberry
Hound, I do know, however.
As to the missing time zone notice. That was an oversight. I have mostly provided those notices
but in this and a few other cases, I didn't see it missing until you pointed it out, bpatrick. Thanks.

Re-posting this. In addition to the other error previously cited, I've found that Arnold Palmer
Invitational was incorrect. That particular golf tournament didn't begin until 1979. I don't know
what the listing was for, then. The newspaper listings just say Arnold Palmer Golf. So, am just
calling it Arnold Palmer.
The problem with newspaper listings as opposed to TV Guide magazine is they're just not
revealing enough.
So many movie listings that just say TBA or just Movie. >
In my situation (I live in New York City), I've found looking at vintage listings that on occasion, a
movie listed in TV Guide would not be the same as listed in the local papers (The New York
Times, Daily News, New York Post, if pre-'66 Herald Tribune) on the day in question. Sometimes
the "TBA" was in TV Guide while the papers had the films shown. My challenge is seeing what
movie show titles (i.e. Weekend Playhouse, Movie at Five, All Star Movie) were used at what
time slot by which station at a given time.

9:30 Tattletales (couples: Michael Malone and
Adrienne Barbeau, Kent and Cynthia McCord,
Joe Feury and Lee Grant)
4 PM Tattletales (same as Ch. 2)
Point of order...while it may be from the same "batch" of five shows with the same couples,
it wouldn't be the same exact show, since isn't WFMY at 9:30 AM a day behind? (WNCT is
airing the network feed at 4 PM ET.)
9 AM CBS News
The 7 AM ET CBS Morning News (with Hughes Rudd) aired by WBTW on a two-hour delay?

Correct on "Tattletales." WFMY and WTVD aired the
show on a day-behind, but for some reason the couples
didn't change until Wednesday on WNCT and Thursday
on WFMY and WTVD.
Also correct about the CBS Morning News airing on a
two-hour delay on WBTW. They had their own programming
in the 7-8 AM hour, so the newscast was used to fill the hour
between "Captain Kangaroo" and whatever aired at 10 (at that
time, "The Price Is Right"). Why they didn't do what WNCT did--
air CBS News at 8 and the Captain at 9--I don't know.

Game show producers had, by this time, given up on keeping the week's celebs
airing on a strict Monday-Friday basis, since the shows were taped in advance
and were subject to unplanned spot preemptions. (Watergate hearings anyone?)
You may recall at the end of a game show, the host refrained from saying "see you
tomorrow" or "see you Monday," but said the more generic "see you next time."

Jack Barry, a veteran of live TV in the '50s, had to break
an old habit when he started doing "Joker's Wild" on CBS
in 1972: asking contestants at the end of the show if they
could "come back tomorrow." Of course they could; the "next
day"'s show would start taping in about ten minutes. Don't
know if any contestants from "Friday"'s show didn't make it
back for "Monday" (taped either the following day or following

week).

The Big Picture
"Rob Crosby" was probably Bob Crosby (Bing's Brother)..I know especially from listings this far
back, there could be a lot of typos..
Also, at 10:30, was "Big Picture" on 25 or 67?

Yep, WIS was the first VHF, and, as they used to say, the rest was history. Even with DTV now, I'm
pretty sure neither the CBS nor ABC outlets are even close to WIS at any daypart. Talk about
dominance--Columbia was, and perhaps still is, a one-station market, for all intents and
purposes.

I was just coming back to correct the 10:30 entry. The Big Picture was on 19-CBS.
Tim L: Yes, I'm betting there were a lot of typos. Also, the newspaper provided no descriptions of
the programs either.
Other fun facts: WCOS-TV 25 signed on as a primary NBC affiliate and I think DUMONT was a
secondary for them. WNOK-TV 67 signed on as a primary CBS affiliate with DUMONT secondary.
After WIS TV 10 decimated both 25 and 67, WCOS-TV signed off in 1956 and returned in 1961
with different owners after ABC's programming improved. 67 was able to hang on, I'm guessing
due to the strength of CBS.

You keep interchanging 19 and 67 when referring to
the CBS affiliate. CBS was on 67 in 1953.

I noticed something else that was standard practice
in listings in those days. At 8:30 on 10, it shows
"Howard Barlow." The program was "Voice Of Firestone,"
but since that program--and many others--had the sponsor's
name in the title, newspapers would use an alternate title so
as not to give free advertising. BTW, Barlow conducted the
orchestra on the program.

Bpatrick:
Thanks for clarifying about channel 19/67. Also, I didn't think about the "free advertising" angle
regarding some sponsored program titles. That would make sense.

I always thought Columbia and Augusta GA were sort of co-markets, since Columbia had a VHF
NBC affiliate and Augusta, only about 50 miles to the southwest, had VHF CBS and ABC affiliates.
I figured in the days before most people had TVs that picked up UHF signals, the two cities
shared their TV signals.
Now it turns out that two UHF stations signed on the same year as Channel 10 in Columbia. They
probably just applied for their stations a few weeks or months later than WIS. By the way, WIS,
WCOS and WNOK were all AM stations in Columbia that decided to get into TV. WCOS and
WNOK are still highly ranked radio stations in Columbia, although now on FM. When Channel 10
and AM 560 were sold to different owners some years ago, the TV station kept the WIS call
letters and AM 560 took the call letters WVOC (Voice of Columbia). WIS is one of only a handful
of TV stations with only three call letters where the AM station with the same call sign has
disappeared. That's why it's not WIS-TV, just WIS.
Interesting to note that WIS decided to remain on VHF Channel 10 with its DTV signal and WOLO
ABC 25 moved to VHF Channel 8, no doubt hoping to get a DTV signal competitive with WIS.
Now it turns out UHF signals are superior for DTV coverage and WIS's original advantage of being
the only VHF in the market is no more. I'd also guess WOLO now wishes it had stayed with UHF
25 or some other UHF frequency as CBS affiliate WLTX 19 did, now using Channel 17 for its DTV
signal.
South Carolina didn't have a station of its own until 1953;
WCOS was the first station in the state. But by the end of
that year there were five stations I know of in the Palmetto
State: the three Columbia stations, WCSC/5 Charleston, and
WFBC (now WYFF)/4 Greenville. Prior to that, some viewers
as far south as Columbia could watch WBTV Charlotte, and
people in the Upstate, if they were really lucky, might pick up
WSB and/or WAGA Atlanta.

South Carolina has remained relatively free of affiliate switches;
there was the 1996 WCBD/WCIV switch in Charleston (Allbritton
owns WCIV and switched it from NBC to ABC so as to get all of
its stations on the Alphabet Network, giving NBC to WCBD), and
Anderson's Ch. 40 has been all over the place (ABC and CBS in
the '50s, '60s, and '70s; ABC again as a duplicate to WLOS in the
early '90s; Fox for a couple of years--1987-1989; the WB; and now
MyNetwork), but otherwise South Carolina has been remarkably stable:
WIS and WYFF have stayed with NBC, WNOK (WLTX), WCSC, WSPA,
and WBTW with CBS, and WOLO, WLOS, and WPDE with ABC.

Yes, I made a mistake when transcribing the grid....saying that the weather was on 19, when it
should have said 67. And then I completely left off the channel number for The Big Picture. I
transcribed the Program names as they appeared in The State newspaper. I am aware that
WNOK-TV signed on as Channel 67. They changed to Channel 19 in 1961 if my sources are to be
believed. I didn't know there would be this much interest in this.

Since you put the host with the game show, I might
add that Jack Linkletter was host of "The Rebus Game."

Thanks..
The way the Plain Dealer did their TV listings was a fairly small grid style-With Highlights on the
opposite side of the page..Not much room for Game Show Hosts..Also just corrected the
Date..June 18..

Was the Tom Snyder who did news on Channel 3 "THE" Tom Snyder?

...indeed, he was. Tom had arrived at KYW-TV just a few months before the whole operation
moved back to Philadelphia (after a gig with KTLA/5 Los Angeles for a year or so before Gene
Autry bought that station); Tom moved with KYW to Philly and was one of their main anchormen
for the next five years, after which he moved back to Los Angeles to anchor for KNBC/4)...

Tom Snyder, Dick Goddard and Mike Douglas were all under contract to Westinghouse so they
had to leave Cleveland for Philly..Other Channel 3 personnel such as Linn Sheldon (Kids Host
Barnaby) and announcers Tom Haley and Jay Miltner either had been with KYW since their
WNBK days or in Sheldon's case..had already worked at WEWS and WJW..With his large following
as Barnaby, he wasnt going anywhere..Goddard, after several months in Philadelphia, returned
to Cleveland on March 28, 1966 at WJW-TV 8 as Chief Meterologist, where he still is today..

That's possible, though I dont remember Crim's name being mentioned when discussing Channel
3 Cleveland History, or in either the 1983 or 1998 WKYC Channel 3 History specials..

I read somewhere that Al Primo was the news director at KYW in its last months in Cleveland
(having worked before that at KDKA in Pittsburgh) prior to the switcheroo to Philly, where the
Eyewitness News format as we began to know it really took shape.
I also seem to recall that Bill Jorgensen left Channel 3 for WEWS just before the former station
switched owners and calls.
Conversely, just as Sheldon, Haley and Miltner (as well as Jim Graner and Bud Dancy) all stayed
at Channel 3 at the point it became WKYC, over in Philadelphia Vince Leonard, who since 1958
had anchored the news at what until June 18 was NBC-owned WRCV-TV, remained at that
station when Westinghouse returned on the 19th and applied the KYW-TV calls there. He
remained a part of that station's EWN until 1980 when he moved to Phoenix where he closed
out his long career. Another personality who remained at Philly's Channel 3 at the point of
transition from WRCV to KYW was Marciarose Shestack; she would co-anchor one of the EWN
'casts with Snyder. But of course, in at least one case Philly's loss in the early morning hours of
June 19 was Cleveland's gain, with WKYC adding former WRCV weatherman Wally Kinnan to its
roster; apparently, he was under contract to NBC.

By January 1967 the NBC Thursday Lineup would be:

7:30 Daniel Boone
8:30 Ironside (Premiere Sept. 1966)
9:30 Dragnet (67, 68, 69, 70)
10:00 Dean Martin Show..
And would remain so until September 1970, when Dragnet and Daniel Boone were Canceled..

"Ironside" didn't debut until September 1967. The fall 1966
NBC Thursday-night lineup was:
7:30 Daniel Boone
8:30 Star Trek
9:30 The Hero (Richard Mulligan, better known from "Soap",
as a TV Western hero who's a klutz at home--this was
replaced by the new "Dragnet" in January 1967)
10 PM Dean Martin Show

The biggest disaster of the entire 1966-67 season involved a
Thursday-night show on ABC: "The Tammy Grimes Show," about
an heiress whose near-compulsion to spend has to be checked by
her rather stuffy brother, played by Dick Sargent. The show lasted
only four weeks (Sept. 8-29) and was replaced on Oct. 6 by a primetime
version of "The Dating Game."

And that stinker was a natural for inclusion into the 1980 book The Worst TV Shows Ever.
YouTube has one of the episodes up (albeit in the form of a B&W kinescope), where Dick Sargent
was actually credited as "Richard" Sargent.

Re: RETRO: EAST TEXAS/ARK-LA-TEX (PRIMETIME) SUNDAY SEPT. 3, 1961
Interesting that Ch. 7 refers to it as "G.E. Theater"
and Ch. 12 as "Ronald Reagan Theater" when it's the
same show (the "free advertising" thing I mentioned on
another thread, I guess).
"Holiday Lodge" starred perennial "Ed Sullivan Show"
guests Wayne and Shuster as employees at a resort
hotel (wonder if Bob Precht produced this show?).
In 1966 they hosted "Wayne And Shuster Take An
Affectionate Look At..." some of the great comedians
of all time, and I can remember that when Benny Hill
first caught on in this country around 1979-80 some
stations ran Wayne and Shuster's Canadian show in
edited-to-30-minutes form like Benny's (or Carol Burnett's).

Don't Channel 5 and Channel 22 serve the same area (Burlington and Plattsburgh, with WCAX
rounding out the "big three" channels as the CBS affiliate)? If that's the case, did both of these
stations really carry "Jake" or is this an error?
Oh, and I believe the show "COPS" that ran on Channel 22 at 4:30 PM was the short-lived
animated series (which later had to be changed to "Cyber-COPS"). If it is the live-action series
that did air - boy, that's quite a lead-in. :

so "Gilligan's Island" translates to "Merry Shipwrecks"?
(thanks for giving my High School French a workout! )

That wasn't a typo-Jake did air on both 5 and 22...I guess the syndicator missed the day they
were teaching DMAs in the North Country ;D. The cartoon on ABC22 was what was later
rebranded CyberCOPS...

Morning Stretch in the time slot..

I guess no Scrabble or Classic Concentration on WPTZ-TV. Did they ever carry the two NBC game
shows?.

From the same article, they also have secondary facilities at the Time & Temperature Bldg in
downtown Portland (which also houses the Portland bureau for NESN and two radio stations).

yeah, well....my high-school French teacher was actually Hungarian!

Re: Retro: Southeast Texas Saturday, July 7, 1962
- Although Channel 11 moved to Houston in 1960, their COL remained "Houston/Galveston" (as
opposed to just "Houston" for the other stations) until Belo bought the station in the 80s. They
maintained a presence there for years, and some old-timers still think of channel 11 as the
"Galveston station".
- Per MLB rules at the time, NBC and CBS' baseball game of the week were blacked out in
Houston, which became a major league market in '62.

But not, of course, the legendary Philadelphia news anchor who lasted one year in New York. ;D

On Sunday, July 8, Chs. 12 and 13 carried a game between
what was then the Houston Colt .45s and the Cincinnati Reds
from Cincinnati. The Houston local announcing team of Guy Savage,
Gene Elston, and Al Helfer called that game. Neither the NBC (White
Sox-Indians) nor CBS (Braves-Cubs) games aired in Houston, although
both games aired in Beaumont.
Philadelphia's Larry Kane did a great job of alienating New Yorkers during
his short stay in the Big Apple. He refused to move, and probably logged
more miles on the New Jersey Turnpike than anyone else in history. Then
he refused to use the local pronunciations; for example, calling it "HEWS-ton
Street" instead of "HOUSE-ton Street" (reference to Houston Street). No
wonder he was sent back to Philly so soon.

I need to make a correction. Ch. 4's call letters were
KPAC; I remember them as KJAC when I lived in Texas
and I guess those call letters are ingrained in my head.
Today it's KBTV (the third station--after WFAA Dallas
and KUSA Denver--to have had those call letters at
one time) and is a Fox affiliate.

Just noticed something - no Houston Wrestling. Was it "live" on Fridays back then?

I don't know if it was live but Houston Wrestling aired
on Ch. 13 Fridays 10:15-11:15 PM. On Friday nights
ABC's late newscast was delayed until 12:30 AM, following
a movie.

Re: Retro: Southeast Texas Monday, July 9, 1962
Re: Houston School Board on KUHT - I wasn't here in the 1960s but I do know there was a time
when the regular meetings of the board were televised live. It was a period of great controversy,
I think.
Re: Jan Stephenson - ? - on KTRK-TV - since I wasn't here I guess I shouldn't comment but I'm not
familiar with any Jan Stephenson. There was a Bob Stephenson who was a longtime fixture in
Houston broadcasting and later there was a Jan Carson who was a fixture on Channel 13 then
moved to 2.

I may have my Jans mixed up; somehow I thought Jan Stephenson
was on 13 (anyway, the only person I ever think of when the subject
of Houston newscasts comes up is "MAARvin ZINDler, EYEEEwitness News!").
But that's not my only goof. Watching the John Deere Classic yesterday
on CBS, and noticing that Bill Macatee was in for Jim Nantz, I thought I remembered
Macatee on WFAA in Dallas; I googled his name and found out he started on KBMT
Beaumont.
After all, it's been more than thirty years since I left Texas...

Mulling it over I think you may be right, that "Stephenson"
is Bob Stephenson; somehow I got it into my head that there
was a Jan Stephenson, but I think you're right--the person I'm
thinking about is Jan Carson. In fact, I wasn't even close--I
had forgotten that Jan Stephenson was a professional golfer!
My goof, but then again, I lived in Dallas, not Houston, and only
a few Houston names (like Ron Stone) are familiar to me.
Off the subject, here's something to make all you baby boomers
feel old. In posting the daytime listings I noticed that only four
network daytime hosts--Bob Barker (Truth Or Consequences),
Dick Clark (American Bandstand), Hugh Downs (Concentration),
and Don Morrow (Camouflage)--are still with us; we recently
lost Art Linkletter. Although his show was syndicated, Jack LaLanne
is also still with us, although he's in his 90s (Hugh Downs will turn 90
next year and the other guys are in their 80s). Some of the announcers
are 80 or more but still working: Don Pardo (The Price Is Right, 92 and
still doing Saturday Night Live), Johnny Gilbert (Yours For A Song then,
Jeopardy! now), and Charlie O'Donnell (American Bandstand then, Wheel
Of Fortune now). I know; it's been nearly 50 years, but sometimes it's
still hard to imagine these guys 80 or more--especially Dick Clark.
But then again, Alex Trebek turns 70 this week. Remember when he first
came to this country in 1973 and looked like the last of the hippies with his
bushy hair and mustache? Tempus fugit.

Indeed it was. For reasons I won't go into as it's all been rehashed elsewhere.
I don't recall any retro listings for WLBT from the Lamar era being posted here, so I did. I have
some 1963 listings too which I'll soon be adding.

I'm kind of surprised WLBT cleared I Spy if you know what I mean.

I saw on the sched where The Monkees were not cleared, although NBC had just cancelled the
show, public outcry not withstanding. Were there any other uncleared or tape delayed NBC
shows on WLBT then?.

Keep in mind that I Spy was near the end of it's NBC run at that point
so WLBT may have(and at first probably did) refused to clear it.

My understanding, from Castleman and Podrazik's "Watching TV,"
is that only three NBC affiliates refused to carry "I Spy," and WLBT
was not one of them; they were WESH Daytona Beach/Orlando;
WSAV Savannah, GA; and WALB Albany, GA (and I have issues of
the Central Florida edition of TV Guide from the period to confirm
that WESH did not carry "I Spy"). Perhaps Russell can find a 1965
or '66 schedule for a Wednesday, and we can all then find out if
"I Spy" was carried in Jackson (wait--maybe he'd better check an
entire week, since it could have aired on delay).

Both channels 3 and 12 were still secondary ABC
affiliates at that point. That would end on October
3, 1970 when WAPT(channel 16) signed on.

Fred Beard, the WLBT station manager behind the nasty programming practices was fired amidst
the first FCC hearings in the mid '60s. At which point, Lamar Life evidently saw the writing on the
wall and realized they couldn't blow off the possibility of a license renewal being denied. The
"Technical Difficulty" slides, and pre-show disclaimers ("What follows is biased Northern news")
were in the past by then.
I don't have any listings from the Fall of '65, when "I Spy" debuted ... but I'm guessing WLBT
didn't dare make any waves by preempting it. Had it debuted a year earlier, when Fred Beard
was still in charge, it likely would have been bagged. Do I know for certain? No. But this was a
station manager who made a GIANT ruckus over a black woman guesting in an episode of
"Bonanza"....

....so imagine how a program with an African-American in a starring lead role would have been
treated by that management!!
Those were crazy times. And, from all indication, competitor WJTV-12 was just as bad .... only not
as flamboyant. They cleaned up their act very quietly as WLBT got all the scrutiny.

Re: Retro: Nebraska/South Dakota (central/east)/Sioux City Thurs, July 9, 1987
Could you please post listings for the weekend of July 4-5, 1987?
Thanks for posting this schedule. It must be during the period KTIV in Sioux City dropped Oprah
temporarily due to high cost, as she's not on their schedule.
I'm not sure what news KMEG is running at 10pm, they didn't have a news department from
sometime in the late 70s to around 2000.
That's what I get for cutting and pasting network skeds ...KMEG actually ran Hogan's Heroes at
10.

10:00 INN News (what other stations, if any, ran INN on weekends instead of local news?)
Now, that is an insult to NBC. I don't care if they ran an infomercial in lieu of weekend news, but
to air a news program specifically tailored for independent stations on a major network affiliate
is just mind-boggling.
KMEG 14-CBS Sioux City ran INN News at one point. They originally ran it at 10pm M-F shortly
after INN started. It didn't last long at 10, I think they moved it to 10:30 or 11 before dropping it.
By 1987 as shown in this listing, they were running CNN Headline News... at various places in the
schedule, including 11pm weeknights, I think at noon for awhile.
KMEG is also the station who didn't run Letterman when he first moved to CBS, prompting Dave
to proclaim Sioux City the site of his "home office."

*--translator relay of Alabama Public Television
MORNING
5:00
(6) American Religious Town Hall
5:15
[5] Country Journal--local
(13) Awake!--had black-and-white designation; probably public service film
5:30
[5] Carl Tipton--local country music show
(6) WBRC News
5:35
(6) Country Boy Eddie--hosted by Gordon "Country Boy Eddie" Burns, this long-running
country/Southern Gospel music staple of Central Alabama television ran for no fewer than 37
years until 1995
5:45
[4] WSM Weather
(13) Top of the Morning--listed as "music;" probably country
5:50
[4] Morning Devotion--local
5:55
[4] Job Market--local
(19) Minister's Study--local

6:00
[4] Morning Show--country DJ Ralph Emery presided over this morning slot for nearly 30 years,
with occasional Music Row artists dropping by
[5] (19) CBS Morning News--Hughes Rudd
(31) Cartooons--unspecified
(48) Arthur Smith--syndicated country music show, based in North Carolina
6:30
[2] Flying Nun--episode description: "Sr. Bertrille (Sally Field) sparks a frenzy by retunring a
lottery ticket."
(31) New Zoo Revue
(33) Laughtime--local cartoons; no indication of a host
(48) Sonny in the Morning--Edward "Sonny" Sims, a former member of Ernest Tubb's band,
hosted this half-hour local country music get-together (a la Country Boy Eddie)
6:45
(4) WCBI News
(42) Focus--local public affairs
7:00
[2] Bozo--unknown who the local Nashville Bozo was (so don't ask me)
(4) (33) (40) (42) CBS Morning News (WHMA interrupted at 7:30 for five minutes)
[4] (9) (13) (15) (31) Today Show--Jim Hartz, Barbara Walters (guest today: Jimmy the Greek)
[5] Mornings with Siegel--an experiment that, to put it mildly, didn't work: a New Yorker holding
court on a TV talk show down South in the 1970s; today, he probably wouldn't raise an eyebrow,
given Nashville's more cosmopolitan tone in comparison to then
(19) Morning Folks--Grady Reeves hosted this "friends and neighbors" local morning show;
Reeves' son Robert still works for WHNT
(48) A.M. America--ABC's quite fledgling attempt to knock Today off the throne was getting
nowhere, thanks in part to affils such as WBRC and WNGE passing on it; Bill Beutel was helming
at this point
7:05
(6) Morning Show--And WBRC passed it up for some years afterward for a good reason: like
Country Boy Eddie, this show was also a WBRC institution, hosted by the well-mannered Tom
York; York's son Byron is known these days as a conservative political commentator
7:30
(40) Paul Harvey--his syndicated five-minute commentary
7:35
(40) CBS Morning News (resumed in progress)
7:55
[5] Coffee With Dorinda--probably local women's show; perhaps cooking (e.g., a brief recipe)
8:00
[2] New Zoo Revue
(4) [5] (19) (33) (40) (42) Captain Kangaroo--the good Captain featured a "back-yard country fair"
today
8:05
(6) Merv Griffin (90-minute version)

8:30
[2] Green Acres--rerun, of course
9:00
[2] Movie--"Magoo in the King's Service," 1964
(4) [5] (19) (33) (40) (42) Spin-Off--Jim Lange attempted a comeback after Dating Game with this
Yahtzee-like game show (thus more like "RIP-Off"--!)
[4] (9) (13) (15) Celebrity Sweepstakes--and speaking of game show ripoffs ...
(31) Coffee Break--local women's show, hosted by Johnny Evans and Mary Beaton
(48) Room 222--rerun of 1969-74 high school drama
9:30
(4) [5] (19) (33) (40) (42) Gambit--blackjack, done Heatter-Quigley style
[4] (9) (13) (15) (31) Wheel of Fortune--this show, just six months old, was climbing up the charts
(6) Rhyme and Reason--tape-delayed from ABC the previous week
(48) Dinah! (90-minute version)
10:00
(4) [5] (19) (33) (40) (42) Tattletales--celebrity gabfest game that didn't quite cut it in the
mornings; soon would return to afternoons
[4] (9) (13) (15) (31) High Rollers--"Shut the Box" came to the boob tube with this game
(6) Ryan's Hope--tape-delayed from ABC the previous week
10:30
(4) [5] (19) (33) (40) (42) Love of Life--soap that ran from 1951 to 1980
[4] (9) (13) (15) (31) Hollywood Squares--"I'll take George Gobel for the block, please ..."
(6) Brady Bunch--ABC rerun
10:55
(4) [5] (19) (33) (40) (42) CBS News--Douglas Edwards
11:00
[2] (6) (48) Showoffs--Goodson-Todman game cursed from the outset; originally scheduled host
Larry Blyden was killed in a car wreck in Morocco in the spring and Bobby Van was brought in as
a replacement
(4) [5] (19) (33) (40) (42) Young and the Restless--now a top-ten favorite
[4] (9) (13) (15) (31) Magnificent Marble Machine--"PINBALL on TV? You're out of your $*%&#($
% MIND!!!" (and that's what a lot of viewers thought, too)
11:30
[2] (6) (48) All My Children--swapped out from the Noon slot a week earlier in order to give
Ryan's Hope (see below) a fighting chance in the Nielsens
(4) [5] (19) (33) (40) (42) Search for Tomorrow--"Well, why don't you look in your tote bag?"--!!!
[4] Noon Show--local; hosted by Teddy Bart (a longtime Nashville broadcaster) and Elaine Ganick,
his "girl Friday"
(9) (13) (15) (31) Jackpot!--a week earlier, NBC and packager Bob Stewart dropped the riddles in
favor of straight Q&A; that pretty much sealed the deal for this once-fashionable half-hour,
which would limp along until September
11:55
(9) (13) (15) (31) NBC News--Edwin Newman
AFTERNOON
12:00
[2] (48) Ryan's Hope
(4) WCBI News

(9) Noon--local
(13) WAPI News
(15) WOWL News
(19) WHNT News
(31) Celebrity Sweepstakes--tape-delayed from NBC earlier in the day
(33) Galloping Gourmet--ah, who can forget?
(40) WHMA News
(42) Beat the Clock--rerun; show had actually gone out of production the previous season up in
Canada, due to a dispute with Goodson-Todman and the TV network there
12:05
(40) By the Way--unknown if local women's or public affairs show (probably the former)
12:15
(15) Bible Televisit--local
(19) Woman's Page/WHNT Weather
12:20
[5] WLAC Weather
12:25
[5] WLAC News

12:30
[2] (6) (48) Let's Make a Deal
(4) [5] (19) (33) (40) (42) As the World Turns--about to become the latest daytime TV casualty on
September 17, 2010; nobody could have imagined that possibility, though, in 1975 when it was
on the top of the sudser heap
[4] (9) (13) (15) (31) Days of Our Lives--recently expanded to 60 minutes and doing well
1:00
[2] (6) (48) $10,000 Pyramid--six months later, the top award would double
(4) [5] (19) (33) (40) (42) Guiding Light--in 2009, this venerable warhorse bit the dust, another
remnant from the "golden age" of the 1950s
1:30
[2] (48) Rhyme and Reason--cheap but cute rip-off of Match Game, using poetry instead of
double entendres
(4) [5] (19) (33) (40) (42) Edge of Night--about at the end of its road on CBS by this point; ABC
picked it up before Christmas
[4] (9) (13) (15) (31) Doctors
(6) I Dream of Jeannie--WBRC had long pre-empted the 1:30 ABC show, for some reason
2:00
[2] (6) (48) General Hospital
(4) [5] (19) (33) (40) (42) Price is Right--still on half-hour format (most people today can't
remember when the show wasn't a full 60 minutes)
[4] (9) (13) (15) (31) Another World--first-ever hour-long soap; expansion occurred six months

9:30 2 Bits
1 AM 2 Bits
8 PM Georgia At The Republican Convention
Here I come with my questions as per usual, bp ...
"2 Bits"?--Wonder what that was all about? "Today in Georgia" was obviously WSB's de facto
women's show, so maybe this could have been a daily variety half-hour, perhaps? Local music
and chat was still the norm on TV back in '64, as we know.
"Georgia At The Republican Convention"--Although Georgia went for Goldwater strongly (as did
its Southern neighbors) in '64 due to LBJ's support of Civil Rights, we must remember that, in
most of the South, the GOP had not really become a truly viable political force, as even
segregationists remained true to their ancestors' support for the Democrats. So it should not
surprise anyone that the ETV special lasted only 15 minutes, as Georgia surely did not bring a
large delegation to Frisco--in all likelihood, most of them were Atlanta-area businessmen, some
of whom were Northern-born.
"Today In Georgia" was actually a local version of NBC's "Today" show; many NBC affiliates had
their own "Today In..." programs that followed the network show at 9 AM. On this particular day
the guest was Cherokee chief Richard Crow, who at the time played Tecumseh in the outdoor
drama "Unto These Hills," staged in Cherokee, NC. I never saw "2 Bits," since it was long gone
before I attended the University of Georgia, but I, too, would assume it was some sort of variety
show.
The GOP was making inroads into the formerly Democratic "Solid South," especially on the heels
of this convention, but Ch. 8's program was simply an update on the Georgia delegation's
activities; it aired every night during the convention.

And what was in his IV? That stuff that turns his skin orange, I assume?
Very funny. No, this was the country singer (or, as The New York Times back in the day would
have called him, George Hamilton 4th) of "A Rose and a Baby Ruth" and "Abilene" fame.
(Ironically, the former song became a hit in 1957 on ABC-Paramount - where the perenially
tanned actor without any appellations briefly recorded in the mid-1960's, as the IV was on RCA
Victor.)

Re: RETRO: Albuquerque, Tuesday, Sept. 21, 1982
What ?. No syndicated game shows at night in Albuquerque then?. Did anyone before and after
this date carry Family Feud PM, The Joker's Wild and Tic Tac Dough in Albuquerque. What did
Albuquerque outlets have against syndicated game shows then?. This is as bad as Fort Wayne
and toledo not having TJW and TTD then. But nighttime WOF in 1983 and Jeopardy's return in
1984 changed all TV stations' thoughts about syndie game shows.

Look at Merv Griffin on an indie station.
What a weird market.

Look at Merv Griffin on an indie station.
What a weird market.
Weird indeed!. In Sacramento, Merv's syndie show was on KOVR-TV, then KXTV,then KTXL and at
the end KQCA-TV (then KSCH -TV) when Merv ended his show in 1986, the same year 58 signed
on.
During Merv Griffin's last or last two years, he was also on WOR-TV 9 NYC (now WWOR TV My
9).
If had KOAT-TV had dropped movies by the time 14 and 23 signed on, then there would have
been room on Channel 7 for TTD,TJW and maybe nighttime Family Feud and another game show.

Kind of unusual, considering that Merv was synonymous with WNEW ch.5's prime time during
his Metromedia years.

Yes. And WOR in 1986 was owned by RKO before they sold all their TV holdings.

However, when Merv's first syndicated show (by Westinghouse) began in 1965, WPIX-11 ran the
program in its first year before it went on to WNEW. So Merv was seen, at one time or another,
on all three NYC indies, plus two of the networks (his 1962-63 NBC daytime show and, of course,
his 1969-72 late night CBS endeavor).

Although, when he was on CBS , he was right up there with NBC's Johnny Carson , he just
couldn't make a dent in his ratings. And CBS destroyed every Merv Griffin show The Big Eye did.

I never cared for Albequerque anyways Bob I guess ppl in Albequerque are not into game shows.
Jame, when you can , study the scheds listed and pick which damn station should've have syndie
games in 1982, and what you would've have done to put Pyramid and CHild's Play on in AlBQ.

OOPS, In the words of Britney Spears, I did it again, I goofed I guess that day above was the last
week for ALice and One Day At A Time reruns, so I guess KRQE DID air Pyramid and Child's Play. I
was thinking of Tattletales 1982-84 which 13 did not air, also the CBS soap Capitol.
KOB should've put WOF on instead of The Doctors which was on life support then, but it died
opposite Family Feud and Y&R or local and CNN Headline News.

I placed the parenthetical "news" on the wrong line here. Ushuaia was a travel/adventure

Noting the two-hour run time, it could also be Fatal Vision, a 1984 NBC miniseries about a
military doctor convicted of murder, based on the book of the same name.

KTHI (KVLY) - Channel 11 - Fargo, North Dakota (ABC)
3:30 PM - Telethon
If this is Jerry Lewis' Telethon, why is it only 90 minutes when it should have been all day at
least? I could hardly think that it was on the local station airing their local version of the telethon
that it lasted 90 minutes which would hardly have any time for national performances from Jerry
Lewis' Telethon.

I found an additional error, this one regarding WDAZ. I incorrectly listed The Today Show as

That's a nice cable line-up. A good many stations available and some of them from what appear
to be distant points.
By the 1990's, it seems some cable companies were not carrying stations that duplicated shows
(such as two NBC Network affiliates that had the same show on at the same time) and would
only carry the one for that specific market.

The year must be incorrect.
"Eye Guess", "Personality," "You Don't Say" & "Snap Judgment" (NBC daytime) were gone by
then.

I take it that "TV Screen Day by Day" was one of those freebie TV magazines that practically only
care on what played in prime-time -- a probable reason why some of the channels only had
nighttime listings.
Does anyone have any TVG listings, or TV listings from the Ocala Star-Banner, to compare?

I noticed: "Where's Huddles" (shown as "Here's Huddles" above) was indeed a 1970 show.
Seems as if the daytime listings are wrong, but the nighttime ones are correct.
Also on ABC daytime, "Funny You Should Ask" was only late '68 to mid 69. I do not have my
reference book handy at this time.

That is thanks to something called syndex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndication_exclusivity).

Ch. 10 carried ABC News at 6, except for a brief time
early in 1973 when it aired at 6:30, through most of
the '70s; I think there was one period in 1977 when it
aired at either 6:30 or 7.
ABC had two unsuccessful soaps in the noon-1 PM slot:
"The Best Of Everything" and "A World Apart" (the latter
being Irna Phillips' last creation, about the estrangement
between herself and her adopted daughter--and with the
end of "As The World Turns" there will no longer be any
Irna Phillips shows unless you count "Days Of Our Lives,"
since she sat in on some of the early bouncing-ideas-back-
and-forth meetings).
NBC's daytime schedule at this point:
10 AM It Takes Two (replaced by "Dinah's Place" on Aug. 3)
10:25 NBC News

10:30 Concentration
12 N Jeopardy!
12:55 NBC News
1 PM (Local)
1:30 Life With Linkletter (replaced by "Words And Music" on Sept. 28)
2:30 The Doctors
3 PM Another World (then being called "Another World/Bay City")
3:30 Bright Promise
4 PM Somerset (then being called "Another World/Somerset")
"Another World" and "Somerset" reverted to their more familiar titles
sometime in 1971.

"Syndex" meant also that the "Superstations" (WTBS, WWOR, WGN + a few others) would have
part of their schedule blacked out, or replaced, because the local station who carried the same
show that the superstation did, wanted THEIR sponsors to be viewed.
WWOR in the early 90s had something called the EMI service, which was at the ready when
certain shows would be blocked out. WWOR's service I recall had something called "Comedy
Wheel", which were reruns of short-lived TV sitcoms which, I suppose, were never out there for
other syndicators to grab, due to so few episodes. The Alan Young/Phyllis Newman sitcom
"Coming of Age" was one of them.

original programming, such as programs from The Christian Science Monitor like "The Children's
Room" (which would make typical E/I programming today) and "Fifty Years Ago Today" (World
War II headlines from the Monitor); they also showed truly throwaway originals such as
"Cinemattractions" (movie trailers) and "Newsworthy" (video press releases).
As for WTBS -- the only blackouts I have seen were for any games involving the Rays and Braves
in St. Pete (I live in the Tampa Bay area). Apparently, when there was talk about Syndex being
developed, TBS would buy only older programming and make sure their originals (such as
Captain Planet) never get Syndexed. This way, all TBS programming would be cleared nationwide
(except for the prerequisite public affairs programming in Atlanta).
There are errors in the CBS daytime schedule as well.
"Love Of Life" was no longer at noon, and Art Linkletter
was at NBC. The CBS schedule:
10 AM The Lucy Show
11 AM Andy Griffith Show
11:30 Love Of Life
12 N Where The Heart Is
1 PM (Local)
2 PM Love Is A Many Splendored Thing
2:30 Guiding Light
3 PM Secret Storm
3:30 Edge Of Night
4 PM Gomer Pyle, USMC
And, so I don't have to add another posting, here's ABC's:
11 AM Bewitched
11:30 That Girl

12 N The Best Of Everything
12:30 A World Apart

WGN had the same issue. Prior to Syndex, they ran "Cheers" and "Night Court" back to back at
6p CT/7pET. They had national rights to "Cheers" but only local rights to "Night Court". So after
Syndex "Cheers" would clear nationally and "Night Court" was pulled for either "Abbot and
Costello" or "Captain Nice".
A victim of Syndex were local ads; part of the charm of the superstations. They were replaced
with PSA's and Per Inquiry.

I think it was the other way around -- "Night Court" was seen nationally; "Cheers" was syndexed.
As for "Captain Nice" -- it, along with "My World and Welcome To It", "Good Morning World"
and "Theater of the Stars" (among a few others) was part of the WGN national schedule for the
first week or two, until they were pulled and replaced with something else.

The local ads did continue during shows that were cleared locally and nationally. WWOR did this
until the national feed ended in 1996; WGN would eventually replace all local ads with PSAs and
per inquiry, and eventually regular national commercials, on the national feed.
You're right about the Cheers/Night Court distribution. Twenty years causes brain fade.

WGN later in the summer of 1990 got I Dream of Jeannie and Bewitched ,they also got Abbott &
Costello. In the fall of 1990, in place of a Disney Toon (can't think of which one) they got an
assortment of 'toons from The Program Exchange , including Space Kiddettes, Tennessee Tuxedo,
Go Go Gophers, and segments of Bullwinkle. They later traded them in for The Flintstones.
I am glad to see Bewitched and Jeannie back on WGN.

Re: CBS Schedule Wednesday, October 23, 1985
That's a pretty good snapshot of CBS programming in the 80's. However, local affiliates across
the country were quite varied when they ran the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather. Many ran it
at 6:30, but many also ran it at 5:30, or 6, depending on their local news grid. In the 70's, many
network owned stations ran the network news at 7pm, but soon realized they could make more
money with syndication during that hour. Of course, in Central and Mountain, everything is
moved up an hour.

7:30 PM Saturday Morning Preview (the right time here) (pre-empts Chico And The Man)
8:00 PM NFL Football: Oakland Raiders @ Dallas Cowboys (right time here as well) (was this
NBC's game or syndicated?) (but appears as a two hour long program which could have meant
that it was either tape-delayed or the newspaper made a mistake on how long the game lasted
which would have meant local news, The Tonight Show and Tomorrow appeared an hour later or
after the game) (pre-empts Rockford Files and Police Woman)
And yet another station that didn't clear Sanford and Son.
That would be an NBC Preseason football telecast. In 1975, the NFL still played only 14 regular
season games, so the preseason usually extended a week or two after Labor Day. The NFL
upgraded to 16 games in 1978, by taking back 2 preseason games.

Interesting that "You Asked For It" ran Sundays at 7. At that
point it indeed aired on DuMont Fridays at 8:30. But when it
moved to ABC in April 1952, Sundays at 7 would be its timeslot
for all but a few weeks in 1958 when it aired at 9:30 (about the
time Smilin' Jack Smith replaced Art Baker as host).

That is interesting..I have the whole week schedule..Show times were all over the place network
wise-They even had a good number of CBS shows, surprisingly enough, as WEWS was considered
the CBS affil in Cleveland

It was this time that Alan Freed, best known as a pioneer of rock and roll radio (and night jock at
Cleveland's WJW from about 1950 to 1954, when he went to WINS/1010 in NYC) would head
across town to the WXEL studios after his radio show ended at 11, to host the Nite-Owl Theater
movies.

I wasnt sure he hosted the late movies, but Freed, by 1952 was hosting an afternoon 1PM movie
with Grant Wilson..

Re: ABC Schedule Wednesday, May 31, 1978
ABC Evening News was still anchored by Harry Reasoner and Barbara Walters, World News
Tonight came in July, and Harry Reasoner went home to CBS and 60 Minutes, and Barbara was
the holdover for WNT, where she was joined by Peter Jennings, Max Robinson and Frank
Reynolds.

I remember seeing this same movie broadcast by ABC on October 21, 1977 (the date sticks in my
head
due to personal reasons). Just curious how quickly movie rights used to flip from network to

back in those days?

"The Journal" ended back in 1992, after Barbara Frum's death, and was replaced with the failed
"Prime Time News" experiment, before reverting to "The National". Around this time, the
documentary segment of "The National" was known as "The Magazine". ("The Journal" was
originally a program separate from "The National".)

I wonder how NBC (and any other station that showed the film) gave the title? Probably up there
with Prince during the period when he was "the artist formerly known as...".
Makes it evident that Global was able to provide an alternate feed to its transmitters closest to
Michigan -- according to Global Ontario's Wikipedia article, channel 22 in Cottam would show a
blank screen during American programming that the American networks had.

Baseball went way past its alotted time that day, completely eliminating The Bugs Bunny/Road
Runner Hour. At least in my part of the country, and from the look of things in Ontario, too.

This is considered Western Ontario? I thought the western part of the province was the area
north and west of Lake Superior (Thunder Bay, for example).

That area's more like "Northwestern Ontario" -- the Windsor / London area is commonly called
"Southwestern Ontario", though some also use "Western Ontario" as well (there is a "University
of Western Ontario" in London).
I think the terminology might've stemmed from the early days of Confederation.

And a quick check of the listings that week indicate that there were only 2 regional opt-outs that
week for 22/29...Thursday 8:30pm-9:30pm 22/29 aired New Scotland Yard, with most of the
Global tx running Doc Elliot in the timeslot.

I can only presume that whichever West Coast NBC staff announcer was on duty that night, or at
least on the night this film was prepared for airing (Don Stanley, Donald Rickles, Eddie King,
Frank Barton or Peggy Taylor), would've referred to the title as "Dollars."

Not necessarily..WJW-TV 8 was the local Indians Broadcaster..WKYC-3 had the NBC game of the
week.Not sure how the blackout rules worked then, but It was probable that 3 might have had
the alternate game that day..
Another note:Just the evening before, Journeyman pitcher Dick Bosman pitched a no-hit game
for the Indians against the A's..

I gotta ask, what was this show?
In 1974 you could not likely have listed a show with this title in the listings,
let alone run it in the States.

Since the game was locally televised in Cleveland on channel 8, channel 3 would have been
required to show the alternate game. It wasn't until about a decade later that 'GOTW'
broadcasts were allowed to air in the participating teams' markets(the local team's affiliates
usually carried those games instead.)

I recall some local and TV GUIDE listings used to list the title as MOVIE: "$(Dollars)" This was one
of the three strange film titles of the '70s that used to look/sound strange when they turned up
on TV. Another was that Strother Martin horror movie "Sssssssssssss"(sp?), and the other was
something that was titled either 'Movie' or 'Movie Movie'(no two program guides ever listed it
the same way). I've seen the snake flick, but I still have no idea what "$" or "Movie Movie" were
about!

"$", which indeed carried the subtitle "Dollars", starred Goldie Hawn and Warren Beatty about a
bank heist:

(cut and paste into browser)
"Movie Movie" is a simulation of an old time double feature, featuring two movies and a trailer,
all starring George C. Scott:

I assume Detroit was safe to air the Indians net game, but how did it work in Erie- were they
considered Pirates or Indians territory?

I remember in Pittsburgh when the Pirates were on the NBC Game of the Week it was blacked
out locally, as well as on Channel 7 in Wheeling, then an NBC affiliate. But I lived up on a hilltop
and could watch it on WFMJ in Youngstown. It would appear then that the blackout zone at that
time was a sixty mile radius.

12:15 Dizzy Dean (Dazzy Vance joins Dizzy to honor the new members of the Baseball Hall of
Fame: Joe DiMaggio, Ted Lyons, Gabby Hartnett, Roy Schalk, Homerun Baker, and Dazzy himself)
That must be a typo. Ray Schalk is in the Hall of Fame, not Roy Schalk. Ray and Frank "Home
Run" Baker were elected by the Veterans Committee in 1955.
Ray "Cracker" Schalk was a catcher with the White Sox between 1912 and 1928 (one of the
"clean" players on the infamous 1919 team), and the NY Baseball Giants in '29. Roy Schalk, a
second baseman, had a cup of coffee with the Yankees in 1932, and spent two seasons with the
White Sox in 1944 & '45. Not exactly HOF material. As far as I know, they were not related.
And, Joe DiMaggio & Ted Lyons were last players elected to the HOF under the old one-year
eligibility rule (which also allowed Babe Ruth to be among the original 1936 inductees, having
retired in the middle of the '35 season).

7:00 Musical Chairs (panelists: Johnny Mercer, Mel Blanc, Bobby Troup, and June Christy; Mel
sings "April Showers" on this episode, with Johnny and Bobby teaming up for "I'm Such a Hungry
Man")
Mel Blanc was no musical slouch (after all, he sang quite credibly in his character's voices,
everything from hillbilly to opera!), but I've never heard of him having the opportunity to do a
straight song. Unless this wasn't "straight" at all, and he used a character voice to do a comic
turn here. (I can imagine Porky Pig singing "April Showers...")

Isn't there a Bugs Bunny cartoon where he's using a waterfall
for a shower; Black Jack Shellaque is trying to dam it up, but
in that cartoon Bugs sings "April Showers" in a credible imitation
of Al Jolson? And we all know Mel was Bugs' voice.

If my Strat-o-Matic Hall of Fame playing cards are correct, Ray Schalk was one of the vey few HOF
position players to hit well under .300 (.279 according to the card).
He caught *4* no-hitters, which may have vaulted him into the Hall.

Yeah. Wet Hare (1962). A staple for years of the network Bugs Bunny presentations.

Chase Broadcasting which owned WTIC TV Fox 61 was being sold to Renaissance which owned
WTXX. As a result Renaissance had to put 20 WTXX up for sale. They wanted to keep the
stronger shows WTXX owned to add to WTIC TV's schedule while selling WTXX with some
weaker shows. Another option would be to sell the station excluding programming to a non
profit group which would run the station as a non commercial outlet. Renaissance could then
combine assets on WTIC TV to make a stronger station. Another option would to be to sell WTXX
to a small ownership that would sell the broadcast day back to Renaiassance. Then WTXX would
be managed by Renaissance. So there were lots of options for WTXX. The big rumor would be
the station would be sold to a non commercial broadaster like TBN or a Shopping outfit like HSN.
More on next post as sale would occur Spring of 1993.

Whoops! And there they are! So sorry for that!
Retro: St. Louis-Saturday/Sunday February 29-March 1, 1964

This is the oldest schedule I have right now; I happened to find this in a commemorative edition
of the old Globe-Democrat featuring the city of St. Louis' bicentennial anniversary. One other
thing to note is that at the time, their TV suppliment had listings for Saturday-Friday, in contrast
to the regular practice of Sunday-Saturday. So here's the Saturday-Sunday listings from back in
the day.

I think you might be right with regard to the movie umbrella titles used on Channel 4 in the early
1960s. I'm not yet well versed into the history of local movie shows on St. Louis television during
the early days. I do, however, know that KMOX-TV did use "The Bijou Picture Show" for its late
movies during the 1970s and 1980s, much like CBS's Chicago O&O WBBM-TV when it used "The
All-Electric Magik Lantern Moving Picture Show". As a matter of fact, they reportedly used it
after KMOX-TV became KMOV-TV in 1986.
The only other umbrella titles I could come up with were Channel 2's "Spectacular Movie" and
"Chiller Theater", the latter of which aired on Friday nights after their late night newscast at
10:15pm around that time. As a matter of fact, Channel 2 was the only station to advertise its
shows, and in this case their movie umbrella titles, in the Globe's TV Digest that I have right now
(owing to the fact that Channel 2 at the time was owned by Newhouse Broadcasting, which also
owned and operated the Globe-Democrat).
As for local colorcasting it seems that of the market's five TV stations on air at that time, only
KTVI Channel 2 and KSD Channel 5 were equipped to transmit network color programs. However,
it would seem unlikely that both Channels 2 and 5 had begun local telecasts in color around
1963-64. I do know that the latter, Channel 5, was the first in the St. Louis market to air a locally-
produced color program in 1954, two years before the NBC network introduced their full-color
peacock logo. But, according to the Globe's TV suppliment, virtually all of the shows indicated as
broadcasting in color were network-produced. In contrast Channels 4, 9 and 11 were only
broadcasting in black and white. One fact that is undisputable is that by the end of the decade,
all local programs produced by KSD-TV were produced in color from that point on. And not only
that, every other station in the market (including then-new KDNL-TV Channel 30 in 1969) was
now doing local colorcasting as well.

1:30pm Challenge Golf [color]
This is curious -- a live show, in color, in early 1964 on ABC....I thought their first live color shows
were Lawrence Welk and The Hollywood Palace. And here they are doing golf, in color? Or, was
this a local show?

ABC had no fixed live color studio facilities in '64, but perhaps they had the ability to originate a
live color remote? Or maybe this wasn't an ABC broadcast, but was distributed via one of those
ad hoc pick-up "networks" that were sometimes used for golf events? Or (most likely of all),
maybe it's just a typo.

No typo. "Challenge Golf" was an ABC show, but filmed.
ABC had several filmed series in color in the early '60s
("The Flintstones," "The Jetsons," "Wagon Train" after
it moved to ABC in 1962, "The Greatest Show
On Earth," to name four), but no live or taped studio
shows such as Lawrence Welk or "Hollywood Palace" until
1965.
Also, "Camera Three" was not a religious program, even though
it aired on CBS in a block with "Lamp Unto My Feet" and "Look
Up And Live." It was a cultural program, offering drama, music,
and even once in the '70s, "The Boys Of Termite Terrace," about
Warner Brothers animation. The show actually started in New York
in 1953 under the title "It's Worth Knowing."

Interesting to me that CBS would use that title..While WEWS-TV 5 Cleveland was still a CBS
affiliate, They had a local program called "It's Worth Knowing". This and two other 15 minute
shows (Meet Your Schools, Inside Catholic Schools) served as fill in shows from at least 1952 well
into the mid 1960's. A combination of two out of the three would fill a half hour..Usually one day
a week during M-F from 7-7:30 PM or midafternoon weekends..

I recall reading that ABC El Lay's first live/tape color facility was a remote truck parked
outside of the El Capitan Theater at 1735 North Vine Street in Hollywood, from where
Welk and Palace were taped.
Probably some TK-41 cameras; I don't recall if VTRs were in the truck or if the shows
were microwaved or 15 kHz local-looped back to Prospect for recording.
Later on a young Ted Turner colorized the studios at the Prospect facility and ABC
joined the other two nets in the "big time." (OK, so I lied about Turner. ;D)

ABC's first color cameras were actually the TK-41C, made in 1964-65 before production of that
iconic camera finally ceased upon introduction of the TK-42. Welk was at ABC's Palace Theatre
until 1966 when his show moved to Prospect after one of their studios was converted to color
with Norelco PC-60/70 cameras. (I read Prospect had a few other RCA TK-26 film chains besides
the one they had upon their entree into color in 1962; they also for a time had TK-27's but their
performance, according to Ed Reitan's website, was somewhat less than satisfactory; and New
York, from what I read, had General Electric PE-24 [and probably some PE-240] film chains.)

Regarding that one initial TK-26 film chain in 1962: wasn't it the only color film chain
ABC had--i.e., none in New York at the time--meaning that Prospect originated broadcast
of The Flintstones to the entire ABC-TV network, not just the left coast? As in backhaul
to New York at 5:30 PT (for 8:30/7:30 air), then again at 8:30 PT for the coast.

I could imagine the complexities of transmitting not only The Flintstones, but also The Jetsons
and the first run of The (ABC) Sunday Night Movie, this way. But indeed they only had one single
solitary color film chain for two years, before New York was equipped with color film chains in
'64. (One measure of that fact was that WABC-TV in New York didn't air films in color on their
own local movie shows on a regular basis until fall 1964.)
7:00pm The Ed Sullivan Show (Anita Bryant, Jack Carter, Alan Gale among guest headliners)
This must have been the first Beatle-free Sullivan show after they made their first 3 appearances
on February 9, 16 and 23.
Yes it was, but not to worry...the next week The Dave Clark Five made their U.S. debut on "Ed
Sullivan".

If it did air elsewhere, it would had to be WGPR 62, or maybe WXON 20 or WIHT 31 -- WADL ch.
38 did not sign on until 1989.

This was typical of daily programs on W2XAB, which began each day in mid-afternoon with a
movie (invariably a British, Australian or grade-B American theatrical release), a 90 minute pause
with no programming, then a newscast, another lengthy pause, and for the concluding program
of the day, a 9 PM variety show with different host and guests each evening.
No other stations shown operating on this day.
W2XAB was officially an experimental station, but was the direct predecessor of WNBT (which
began licensed commercial operation July 1, 1941 and still operates today as WNBC, channel 4).
There are no television program listings for New York between July 31 of 1940 and February 12
of 1941. During that time the FCC was re-drawing the allocation of the VHF band, finalizing the
"standard definition" video signal standards and moving 'Channel 1' to 50-56 mHz. CBS may have
been testing its New York transmitter on 60-66 mHz (then designated 'Channel 2'), but according
to the Times listings, seems to have offered no programming to the public until it began
operating as commercially licensed station WCBW (later renamed WCBS-TV) on the afternoon of
July 1, 1941.

I seem to recall that W2XBS was the direct predecessor of WNBT/WRCA-TV/WNBC-TV, while
W2XAB was the ancestor of WCBW/WCBS-TV.

That is true. W2XBS became WNBT eventually. It may've been a typo on Bob's part. It's easy to
remember that W2XBS was NBC's station, because the experimental calls were similar to "CBS",
so I use that as a mnemonic to remember that the NBC station had calls that belonged better to
"the competition". Goofy, but it works for me.
And this is about the time that the FCC allowed limited advertising, as an experiment -- because
Lowell Thomas did the TV newscast w/ a pile of (I think) Sunoco oil cans behind him. So that ol'
milestone of July 1, 1941 needs to be deflated a bit -- there were commercials on TV before that
date, but just as an experiment.

Oldschooler1 is correct, the second citiing of the callsign in my original post was a typo. W2XBS
was not only the direct ancestor of WNBC, but it was the only NYC station I've been able to find
in NY Times listings (which were among the most thorough local broadcast listings in the
country) until 7/1/41. That's the day WNBT and WCBW (which was indeed nominally W2XAB
before that date but never announced published program schedules--maybe because it had
nothing but tests going on) checked in commercially for the first time. It's also the same day
Allen DuMont's station (then W2XWV and later WABD, WNEW-TV and now Fox5/WNYW) started
showing up with tests and untitled films in the listing--though I can find no actual program titles
listed until 1944, when they got their full commercial license and became WABD.
The gist of it all was to show how impromptu and small-scale TV was from before World War II
until the late 1940s.
No wonder it was small scale. It would be the middle of 1946 before the total installed receiver
base in the COUNTRY topped 100,000. More than half were served by three stations in the
greater NYC area. The rest were spread out among the Capital District, Philly, and Chicago, each
of which had one fully licensed commercial station on the air, and LA, which had a couple of
experimental stations which would go commercial the following year. A couple of years later at
the end of 1948 there were a lot more stations serving more cities and finally over a million TV
homes nationally, including a half million in the NYC area and substantial numbers in places
including Philly, Albany, Boston, DC, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Cincinatti, Chicago, LA, San
Francisco, St. Louis and more. That's when you start to see stars like Sullivan, Berle and Godfrey
emerge on the tube, and stations and networks really filling their evening schedules and starting
to put on some midday and early afternoon programming (aimed at stay-at-home moms and
kids) as well.
1949 and 1950 were the years when it really exploded and became a mass medium, and stations
started putting out 15 to 19 hours of programming a day and looking more like the news and
entertainment platform we all know...but that's another story...

I find it interesting that a couple of CBS stations scaled "Pee-Wee's Playhouse" back to 7:30 AM;
if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Herman would have had his infamous "outing" by now... and it wouldn't
surprise me if folks in this particular part of the country have had enough of him by then...

It was the night before this schedule, IIRC, that Pee-Wee had his "big misadventure"--but I think
it occurred too late that Friday, July 26 to where it was not in the news until that Sunday.

I think the real reason is the 11:30 AM timeslot on CBS;
both WFMY and WRAL had already decided to do their
own thing after 11 AM (and maybe with good reason, since
"The Bugs Bunny & Tweety Show" was on ABC and "Saved
By The Bell" on NBC from 11 to 12), and chose to air "Pee-
Wee's Playhouse" out of pattern. I don't think Pee-Wee's
"misadventure" had anything to do with it.

Re the listing for Merv Griffin that has "Mickey Finn and his
ragtime band": Mickie Finn is a woman; she and husband Fred
hosted a summer show on NBC in 1966, where they performed
Gay Nineties (1890s)-style music. IIRC, he played piano and
she played banjo.
In which case whoever did up the listings doesn't listen to that type of music -that was what was
listed...

I couldn't help but notice the late sign-on times for the
Bangor stations. Any reason?
Also, today WLBZ and WCSH are sister stations, both
being owned by Gannett; don't know if they were sister
stations in '68.
My guess on the late sign-ons in Bangor is because it was Sunday...WLBZ signed-on at 8 Sat/6:55
weekdays, WABI at 8 Sat/7 weekdays, and WEMT at 8 Sat/9 weekdays. Gannett purchased
WLBZ/WCSH in 1997/98, and at one time Maine Broadcasting System (WLBZ/WCSH's pre-
Gannett parent) also owned a station in Mason City, IA (KMEG, I believe but not 100% sure on; I
saw a letter from MBS in a Stop 'n Shop in Bangor while visiting there in 1996), can't find any info
as to when the two stations became siblings at the moment...
I don't have written info in front of me, I'm just relying on my memory and it may be faulty.
WLBZ and WCSH have been sister stations for a long time. It may go back as far as the early 60's
or even earlier. I believe the Rines family sold out to the owners of MBS during that decade.
The late sign-ons were standard in those days. I remember in the 70's when WLBZ added a
movie and signed on at 10 a.m.! I also recall WEMT for a time after running "Topper" and old
English movies at 9 a.m. dumped them and signed on when ABC started their programming at
11:30 a.m. weekdays.
Personally, I miss sign-ons/sign-offs and the test pattern, technical information and "The Star
Spangled Banner". Sometimes white noise is better than the infomercials.

WLBZ/WCSH on schedules in the 1980's both ran Donahue at 12:30pm followed by Search for
Tomorrow at 1:30pm, Days aired out of pattern at 9am. I guess there were sister stations back
then too.

This was the last day of listed, announced programming for NBC's New York station W2XBS
before TV programming for the public was put on hold as the FCC redefined channel
assignments and technical standards during the fall and winter of 1940-41. Tests continued until
programs for the general public resumed on W2XBS on March 19, 1941, on the new Channel 1,
50-56 mHz (picture 51.25 mHz, sound 55.75 mHz). It stayed on that channel when it began full
commercial operation under FCC license as WNBT on July 1, 1941.
CBS station W2XAB was also testing, on 60- 66 mHz, but offered no programs for public
consumption until it got its own full commercial license as WCBW, also on July 1, 1941.

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 would have ended their broadcast day by roughly 11 PM.

All stations in New York would have ended their broadcast day by roughly 11 PM.
It wasn't until a year after this schedule that WPIX would be one of the first to push the
broadcast day envelope with Night Owl Theatre, the first of several late-night movie shows that
aired on Channel 11 over the years (others: All-Star Movie, Tonight at the Movies, Movie
Favorites and The Channel 11 Film Festival). Wonder if this, in turn, led to WCBS-TV, in 1951,
launching their own late-night movie series, that went on to become a New York City institution:
The Late Show.
The station transmitters were also scattered in those days: WJZ's stick was at the Hotel Pierre,
and WPIX's antenna was situated at the Daily News Building; I think WCBS in those early years
had their xmtr at the Chrysler Building, WOR in its early years on the air transmitted from North
Bergen, NJ - and I.I.N.M., only WNBT was at the Empire State Building; it wasn't until 1951-52
that most of the other stations moved to ESB (except for WOR-TV which didn't move there until
1953).

crainbebo asks about WJZ-TV's listings, "A six-hour newscast?? LOL"

Can't prove it but I'd be willing to bet they had a short newscast at the top of each hour, possibly
a simulcast with WJZ-AM 770, and filled the rest of the time until 6 with a test pattern and music.
Lots of stations would sign on that way and start serious programming only several hours later,
back in the late 1940s...others would run a midday schedule but take an hour or two off in the
afternoon, like WABD. In a lot of European countries they did that a lot more recently. I was in
Russia for a few weeks in the late 80s and saw all three main channels take a break in mid-
afternoon and went to test pattern even in Moscow and St. Petersburg. (In France and Britain,
though, all the principal channels were 24/7.)
wbhist is right about TV transmitters in NYC being all over the place in 1949 and correctly placed
all the stations he mentioned. In addition. WABD (predecessor of WNYW Fox5) was atop the
DuMont building at 515 Madison Avenue in Manhattan, and WATV had its tower in Jersey not far
from the Armstrong FM tower. The WATV tower is long gone, dismantled in the 50s--so is the old
WOR-TV tower, which was taken down by a plane crashing into it a few months after Channel 9
moved to Empire in 1956 (the last of the New York V's to make the move). 515 Madison,
however still has the old WABD tower and Channel 5 antenna atop it, although it's been about
58 years since any signals went out from it. 5 out of the 7 VHF TV signals in NYC moved to Empire
in 1951, with 13 moving there shortly after and 9 making the move by 1956.

Again, as I said, WOR moved to Empire in 1953 - from then until the 1956 plane crash, North
Bergen served as a backup transmitter. But it was the last New York V to move to Empire, still.

Re: Retro: Western Washington, Tuesday, September 6th, 1960 8:00PM-11:30PM
Bart Andrews, in his book "Lucy & Ricky & Fred & Ethel," mentions
that "Adventures Of A Model" was considered as a replacement for
"I Love Lucy" on Monday nights in 1957. Instead, "The Danny Thomas
Show" got the timeslot and held onto 80% of Lucy's audience. I would
assume that "AOAM" was produced by Desilu.

"Saturday Prom" lasted from October 15, 1960 to April 1, 1961.
One of its gimmicks was a "band of the month," and to show you
how the producers hadn't really tapped into rock 'n' roll at first,
the first such band was the jazz-oriented Si Zentner (sp?) Orchestra.
I was a little surprised that Wesley Hyatt threw in Tony Bennett, since
he was never a rocker, even though he had many charted hits (most notably,
"I Left My Heart In San Francisco") of the MOR variety.

TV, local or network, never did get rock and roll. I mean, Helen Reddy hosting The Midnight
Special, or people like Jerry Lewis or Sammy Davis Jr. hosting Hullabaloo. Puh-leeze!
MTV in the 80s came the closest, but even they had their faults. Bless 'em for trying, though.

The "in pattern" network shows air one hour earlier than the left coast feeds
as Washington was not on DST in summer 1960. It was noted in a thread a

few months ago that, while the nets had a delayed feed for the EST and CST
stations (started during DST in 1958), there was no such alternate feed for
PST areas, which typically was WA and/or OR.
CBS daytime had an oddity then...while the morning schedule followed Central
clock time, instead of the usual local half hour at 1/12 Central & Pacific, the
left coast feed appears to have a ninety-minute hole--picking up again 1:30-5
PDT, or in Seattle's case, 12:30-4 PST.

It says in the listing "All times are Pacific Standard. For Daylight Time add one hour." That's weird
that WA was on Pacific Standard in 1960.

Yes, it was very weird. In the 70's my family would go across the border from BC to Washington
and lose an hour, then get it back once we crossed back. :

Looks like KOMO (ABC) had local color capabilities, but probably only because it had been an
NBC affiliate before.
Here's what will likely be a short list:
How many ABC primary affiliates had local color, before even the ABC network ran color shows?
This would have to be before Fall 1962, when ABC started running The Jetsons and Flintstones in
color.

By "local color" are you restricting this to live color or can it also mean color film/slides?
If you peruse the Old Gringo's yearbook stash, you'll probably find a number of ABC affils
with a color film chain (1960: KTVK Phoenix and KGUN-TV Tucson for example).
OTOH, those having even one TK-41 on site would probably be very few.

I knew you'd ask that question! How about either/or. I know when WNYS/9 signed on in
Syracuse on 9/9/62, they called themselves "Colorful channel 9", though their studio cameras
were B & W.

As of the summer of 1941, New York is the first city in the US with more than one regularly
operating channel (two fully licensed stations operating commercially with a daily schedule and
a third operating experimentally).
TV stations in America were few and far between. Philadelphia had one fully licensed
commercial station (WPTZ on Channel 3, now KYW-TV), New York's Capital District had one
which was about to obtain its commercial license (WRGB on Channel 3) and experimental
stations were operating in Chicago (the future WBBM-TV) and Los Angeles (the future KCBS-TV
and KTLA).

Here's a Monday schedule from St. Louis from the spring of 1964. At the time, the region's only

2. As a matter of fact, Channel 4 used "The Big News" for its weekend newscasts, so it wouldn't
be a stretch for that station to use the title for their weekday newscasts.

This was just four weeks before "Missing Links" moved from

Its replacement on NBC was a little thing I'm sure you've all

Also during that time, neighboring CBS affiliate KHQA-7 Hannibal/Quincy was also using "The Big

1962-67).

Re: Retro: Vancouver/Victoria Sat, June 21, 1986
I believe the cartoons at 8-10 AM and 12-1 PM on
Channel 12 were from CBS' Saturday Morning
schedule.

I believe CKVU had moved to Channel 10 by this point, although published listings may not yet
have reflected that.

According to the converter guide, they were on Cable 10 pretty well across the region. According
to the Canadian Communications Foundation website, CKVU was given to go-ahead to switch to
10 on February 13, 1985. This was actually CKVU's 3rd channel, as they were originally licensed
to operate on ch 26, but was authorized to switch to 21 seven months prior to signing-on. More
on CKVU here:

and how did you know that the tigers-brewers was the backup game of the week that day? I
heard it was not, it wasn't mentioned in the newspapers so how did you know that?

That's what TVG had listed...if it wasn't, the network must have made a late change after it went
to press...

Re: Retro: Kentucky Monday, August 3, 1964
I need to make an addition to WLKY's schedule:
"Science Fiction Theater" aired from 6:25-6:55 PM.

"Men Into Space" was a half-hour show, and when
I didn't see a listing on Ch. 32 at 6:30 I somehow
assumed it was an hour (I should know better; the
show originally aired on CBS Wednesdays at 8:30,
just before "The Millionaire" at 9), so I bypassed 6:25.
With this posting, the listing is now complete.

9C Movie: "Tammy and the Bachelor"
Does this mean there were a total of FOUR different episodes (with different topics) of Donahue
airing the same day and time on a total of five different Iowa stations? If so, what were the day's
topics on each station's airing of Donahue?
Also, out of curiousity, does anyone have listings from the neighboring Western Illinois edition of
TV Guide from the same date or thereabouts? (which would also include the QC stations and
KTVO as well as those from Peoria, Quincy and Springfield--in fact, other than KTVO and barely
B-grade or cable signals of Quad Cities stations, none of the stations serving Lee County, IA were
listed in this edition as it is and was part of the Quincy/Hannibal market).
Does anyone know, also out of curiousity, if Lee County, Iowa (which includes Keokuk and Fort
Madison) still received the Iowa edition sans Quincy channels or could they have actually
received the Western Illinois edition with Quincy (I have actually seen, in the late '80s, the
Western Illinois edition on sale in parts of northeastern Missouri, particularly in the Alexandria
area just across the Des Moines River from Keokuk)?

9C Baseball: Montreal at Chicago Cubs
Per Baseball-REference.com, the Cubs lost, 4-3 in a nifty 2:23 game (falling to 40-61 en route to a
5th place, 73-89 record in the old NL East, 19 games behind archrivals and eventual '82 World
Series champions St. Louis Cardinals).
1982 was the first season WGN and the Cubs had Harry Caray at the mike (after 11 seasons with
the White Sox, 1 with the A's, and 25 with the Cardinals), replacing the legendary Jack
Brickhouse.

There was nothing nifty about the Cubs then, and some things never change. I suppose if the
price was right old Harry could switch allegiances like he was switching deodorants. Bless his
soul.

I'm surprised that WSOC would favor more ABC shows, but at the same would pick up CBS' "Love
Of Life." I get the feeling that they wanted to become a ABC affiliate way before that 1978
switch.

7 PM Flintstones
It is weird to see this show listed at such a prime timeslot. I realize the show was not originally
intended to be geared toward kids... but it just happened to end up being show in mornings or
afternoons on many independent stations in the ensuing two or three decades.

"Action 69"? On Pat Robertson's channel?
Sounds like something you'd find on Cinemax along around 3AM. ;D

"Action 69"? On Pat Robertson's channel?
Sounds like something you'd find on Cinemax along around 3AM. ;D

Or M-XS in Eastern Canada

KOOL-TV ran the ticking stopwatch at 5 PM MST for years (live feed/winter, one hour delay/
summer), probably starting when the show moved to the 7/6 slot in December 1975. I can't
remember if it was KOOL-TV, KOLD-TV Tucson, or both, but there were some summer periods
when it aired live at 4 PM.
It was probably well into the 1980s before KOOL moved it in pattern at 6. IIRC, the excuse
was to have a 6 PM news seven nights a week.
So in Kingman you could watch either Las Vegas or Phoenix CBS affiliates? Was there any local
news in Kingman?

70 K70AC (KTAR-12) NBC
72 K72AV (KLAS-8) CBS
78 K78AC (KTVK-3) ABC
Channel 66 was K66AK; channel 68 was K68AK. Yes, they did have the same last 2 letters.
K70AC is now K50CY; K72AV is now K31BI; K78AC is now KSAZ translator K48AY; so K82AA must
have become KTVK translator K60AX and is now K23FV
While vacationing in Flagstaff back in 80's, I noticed that practically all of the Phoenix stations
were available via the UHF translators located high atop one of the local peaks. The signals were
quite adequate, all were City Grade throughout downtown. All of them were up on the high UHF
channels (50's and 60's). I remember KPHO-5 Phoenix (back then a great Indie) had an ID slate
listing all of the translators in the state. I believe the one in Flag was licensed as K64BI (Channel
64). The Flag x-lators were basically acting like a wireless cable system, all in the clear. At that
time, Flagstaff had enough trouble trying to support local NBC affiliate KNAZ-2, never mind any
other full-powered stations that came in later. I wonder how many of the Flag translators are still
on the air today? Any takers?

They were/are all translators, so they can't originate programming. Per Wikipedia, KMOH-TV 6,
Kingman's lone full-powered station, had local news during its days as an independent (1988-
96).

They're all still there, plus more. All full-service Phoenix stations except Telemundo, ION and CW
have Flagstaff translators - even the Univision and TBN stations do. K64BI became K50HU a few
years ago and has a CP to flash cut to digital on 50. Almost all of the stations have moved below
channel 51, and the only two still out-of-core have plans on moving in-core.
KNAZ is now a full satellite of KPNX - the area is just too small to support independent full-
service network affiliates. Only one station exists there without a Phoenix signal - KCFG - and
they've been dark for some time.
Ch 14 (KAET - PBS) used to be ch 66.
Ch 35 (KPAZ - TBN) used to be ch 62.
Ch 39 (KSAZ - Fox) used to be ch 68.
Ch 54 (KNXV - ABC) used to be ch 60 and has an app to flash cut to digital on ch 24.
Ch 52 (KTVK - Ind) has a CP to move to ch 17, still broadcasting in analog.

Re: Retro; New York City, Wednesday, Oct. 27, 1948
This would have been eighteen days after the third of ABC's original O&O's, Detroit's WXYZ-TV
(now owned by the Scripps media empire), first took to the air on Oct. 9, 1948. (The second, in
Chicago, which went on as WENR-TV on Sept. 17, 1948 - one month and ten days prior to this
schedule - later became WBKB (TV), and is today WLS-TV.)

"Village Barn" was an actual nightclub in Greenwich Village that
specialized in country music; it had been founded in the late 1930s
and had proven quite successful. In his book "I Looked And I Listened,"
New York Daily News TV critic Ben Gross asked the founder how such
a place could thrive in supposedly-sophisticated New York. The man
laughed, "Don't you know? This is the biggest hick town in the world!"

How about seeing Christmas themed shows after the New Years Holiday? Yep that is what life
was like when watching shows on Hawaii television during the 50's thru mid 80s....

One thing I'm also curious about is syndicated event programming that would be broadcast live
on the mainland, but taped for later in Hawaii. When did Hawaii get the annual Jerry Lewis MDA
Telethon? If it was before satellite, did they end up getting a tape of it and showing it later on in
the year?

I think the telethons were produced locally if they could not get same day feeds. Also I am not
sure if they are allowed to raise funds after the fact? Granted you can mail in a check anytime to
a given charity but if they are raising money for something specific over FCC airwaves...and you
air it later, not sure how this would work because you would have to have people locally and
nationally answering the telephones and this might not work because of the time zone
difference...

Re: Hawaii, September 25, 1976
I'm not familiar with the 1976 version of Today in Hawaii, this could be a community affairs
program hoste by Roger Coryell. The original Today in Hawaii was a talk/variety show first hosted
by ron cooper and later linda ryan, airing weekday mornings 1966-1969.
Roundabout was a locally produced show for teens that aired on both kgmb and khet hosted by
former hawaii romper room host robin mann.

I don't know how American programming was distributed in Europe at this time -- I suspect it
was still done by film rather than by tape. Each national broadcaster purchased the rights
separately from various American distributors. However, the German-language dubbing for
Germany, Austria, and Switzerland was all done in Germany and that German-dubbed version
is what Austrian viewers would have seen at 7PM.
Here is a clip of the German version of the Flintstones (note that the opening theme, instead of
being translated, was just turned into an instrumental):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZluNBjlVYM
European broadcasters were connected via microwave links at the time. However, the Eurovision
Broadcasting Union (EBU) exchange was used primarily for news feeds, sports coverage, and
European-made shows such as that multinational game show listed on this day. American-
bought shows were not distributed via these microwave links and were shown at vastly different
times across Europe. Even today, viewers in one European country might be watching season 1
of some American show, while viewers in a neighboring country may already be enjoying season
3. (Of course, this doesnt apply to pan-European cable and satellite TV.)
Im glad you enjoyed the listing, BTW!
Retro: North Carolina and Norfolk Saturday, August 7, 1976
Some of you have wondered why Norfolk was not included
in the North Carolina edition of TV Guide. The dividing line
was Albemarle Sound; NC counties north of that body of
water got the Eastern Virginia edition since they were and
are part of the Norfolk DMA. But I'm going to include Norfolk
here; I don't know of any source other than the Raleigh News
& Observer that ever included Norfolk stations (and then only
Chs. 3, 10, and 13) with North Carolina ones. Sources:

Re: Retro: North Carolina and Norfolk Saturday, August 7, 1976
The ABC Saturday night late news was probably anchored by Bill Beutel from New York. He
would have been back at the WABC-TV Eyewitness News desk by this time, as it was nearly a
year after the demise of AM America.
And what is with the lack of late news on the Raleigh-Durham stations? Was it because it was a
Saturday?

WRAL and WTVD did late newscasts on Saturdays, ordinarily.
But on this night both stations had programming running past
11 PM; WRAL may have wanted to get right to wrestling, one
of its most popular shows, while WTVD had a football game from
CBS that didn't start until 10 PM. (Note: by the end of the '70s
WRAL had an early local newscast at 6:30 PM.)
Bill Beutel could have anchored ABC's late newscast that night;
other possibilites could have been Joel Daly or Fahey Flynn (WLS),
or Van Amberg (KGO, I believe).

I hope the Cowboys/Rams NFL exhibition game CBS carried at 10 PM was live... then again, this is
the same network infamous for airing the NBA Finals on tape delay in late night...

The Cowboys-Rams game was indeed live, played in Los Angeles
at 7 PM (PT). What I find odd is that WFMY did not carry the game.
I've never known them to pre-empt a football game; in fact, they
carry the Carolina Panthers exhibition games (most of the regular-season
games are on WGHP/FOX8). But at the time Ch. 2's g.m. was its former
news director, and it's my unprovable theory that he was going to get
his 11 PM news on, regardless.

Re: Raleigh/Durham Monday, August 5, 1985
Some of these people are still on in the Triangle. Larry Stogner
still co-anchors WTVD's "Eyewitness News", while Greg Fishel
has become WRAL's chief meteorologist (and a lot of people in

the area swear by him). Bill Reh now does weather at WNCN;
my strongest memory of him at WTVD was when the local animal
shelter would bring in animals for adoption; his rapport with cats
and dogs was unbelievable.
Jeanne Meserve went to CNN, IIRC. I usually associate her
with WTVR Richmond; don't know which came first, Richmond
or the Triangle.

What service did WATL have? I knew Atlanta had "VEU", which was on WVEU later on, but what
did WATL carry? Also, did TVG have separate listings for the service at the time?

I had left Georgia by that time so I don't know which STV
service Ch. 36 carried. TV Guide did not post the listings,
at least at that point, but I would have included them if
they had been in that issue.

Surprised that WGN ran the Squares & Pyramid in the morning or anytime for that matter. They
were never big on the syndicated game shows with very few exceptions (e.g. Millionaire and
Liar's Club, and I'm not even 100% sure about that last one). I had no idea they ever carried
those other two.

WOR-Tv had The Joker's Wild, Tic Tac Dough, Play The Percentages, Face The Music, Bullseye,
Treasure Hunt, Match Game, Let's Make A Deal, The Newlywed Game, The Dating Game, $ale Of
The Century and Family Feud among others in the 1970's and 80's.

Yeah, WGN thrughout has never really been huge on syndicated game shows other than carrying
Millionaire since 2003 after a year on WBBM 2. The only other ones they really had were the
Pyramid-Squares hour that year, 70S Liars Club for a while and in the early 70s they had the
syndicated What's My Line and Beat The Clock.

CKVR 3-NewNet Barrie
6:30 BreakfastTelevision (not sure if this was local or a simulcast with CITY)
It was, in part -- local news segments from CKVR were inserted, generally when CITY has their
local news.
CBLT 5-CBC Toronto

8:30 Arthur (CBC's version edits out the mid-show kids segment)
I believe that the special mid-show segment was exclusive to PBS -- international copies,
including those used by the CBC, had no special inserts. I think the closing credits on the CBC
version was also different from PBS's.
Radio-Canada's version of Arthur was the same way -- two stories, no inserts.
Weren't they on 26? I don't think they could be on 21, due to WXXI Rochester and WFMJ
Youngstown. Maybe it was the Buffalo repeater at the time, though I have doubts, due to WXXI
(WNYB's repeater in Buffalo is currently on channel 15).

This sounds exactly like the lineup the hotel we stayed at had back in 1996! And I remember
when I went to watch Price is Right on WIVB, the feed switched to that of CHCH, and then
changed back once it was over and the noon news started.

Now that I think about it, I think it was on 26...not sure what WNYB's Buffalo relay was on at the
time, the Review listed it as 21 for some reason
Retro: Cincinnati/Columbus/Dayton Sun, Aug 10, 1958
from TV Guide-Southern Ohio edition
Educational channels WOSU 34-Columbus and WCET 48-Cincinnati had no programs that day,
with WOSU airing weeknights only and WCET having no programs that week
TVG listed ch 7 & 9 as secondary DuMont, but that network was pretty well extinct at that
point...

Re: Retro:Orlando-Daytona Beach-Melbourne, Florida, Tuesday, 11/5/85
Lucille Ball was surprisingly good playing a relatively straight
role in "Stone Pillow," although she had appeared in some dramas
in the '30s and '40s ("Five Came Back" from '39 comes to mind).
In fact, critics and viewers alike wondered why she'd go back
to her Lucy character for the short-lived "Life With Lucy" in
1986, rather than try something different, or at least something
more befitting her age (75), having seen how well "Stone Pillow"
did.
"America," you will not be surprised to learn, is not Alistair Cooke's
first-rate series about American history, but a disastrous talk show
with McLean Stevenson, Sarah Purcell, and Stuart Damon; the show
was savaged by critics, Damon went back to "General Hospital" almost
immediately, and Stevenson was fired--after Paramount announced the
show's cancellation effective in December after 13 weeks.

lived "Life With Lucy" in 1986, rather than try something different, or at least something more
befitting her age (75), having seen how well "Stone Pillow" did.
Alas, the making of Stone Pillow permanently damaged Lucy's health and made her more frail in
her final years, in no small part due to the weather being especially hot when it was filmed (it
was supposed to take place in the winter, and she had to wear several layers of clothing) - this,
from what I read in one of her bios (I think the Desilu book). But it was not the only time Miss
Ball put her health at risk in the name of her art - another was when appearing in her only
Broadway musical, Wildcat!, in 1960-61, when she was hampered by a string of illnesses that led
to many cancellations - and only 171 performances.

I actually saw that show when it was on. Seemed to go over like a lead balloon.

"America"... [was] a disastrous talk show with McLean Stevenson, Sarah Purcell, and Stuart
Damon; the show was savaged by critics, Damon went back to "General Hospital" almost
immediately, and Stevenson was fired--after Paramount announced the show's cancellation
effective in December after 13 weeks.
I wonder if McLean is related to Cynthia ("My Talk Show") Stevenson. :
Purcell, by the way, would eventually host her own syndicated newsmagazine program a few
years later titled "Public People, Private Lives."

McLean Stevenson was a distant relative of Adlai Stevenson,
who ran for President against Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956 and
was defeated both times; he later became our ambassador to
the UN and is remembered for his confrontation with the Russian
Valerian Zorin after the Cuban Missile Crisis when he forced Zorin
to admit that the Soviets had had missiles in Cuba for several months.
BTW, if you can find it, there's a whole chapter in Kevin Allman's book
"TV Turkeys" about McLean Stevenson's post-"M*A*S*H" career, and
it's not pretty; his flops include "The McLean Stevenson Show" (1976-77),
"Celebrity Challenge Of The Sexes" (1978), "In The Beginning" (1978),
"Hello, Larry" (1979-80), "Condo" (1983), and "America."

And I think he showed up on "Hollywood Squares" as well, but
he was not a regular on either show.

On Channel 43, Batman should be 6 AM, not 7 AM

I have to presume that KMOX's afternoon movie skein, like those of the other CBS O&O's (WCBS,
WBBM, WCAU and KNXT), were called The Early Show in those days.

I will post the Independents and FOX affiliates later!
Given that these listings were from a newspaper, I am curious as to whether this listing...
WCPX Channel 6(CBS)
4:00 Star Trek
... is either the original series or "Star Trek: The Next Generation." I am sure the latter was airing
in daily syndication by this time.
It had to be the Original Series, as the Next Generation was still running in weekly syndication.
Soon after the original run of The Next Generation ended in '94, most stations still carrying it did
indeed run it daily.
It was the original series. The Next Generation would have had that title in
this newspaper's listings. And yes, The Next Generation was in Daily Syndication
by this time. It entered Daily Syndcation in the Fall of 1991. It was usually seen
at either 7:00 or 10:00 PM Weeknights in addition to the first run episodes still
airing on Weekends.

Re: RETRO: MARITIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1978
The day of the only TV broadcast ever of The Star Wars Holiday Special. Interesting that WAGM
declined to show it. Possibly because WAGM had already shown the first and second parts of the
ABC miniseries, Pearl, and didn't want to not show the third and final part.

Network premiere was Wednesday 09/24 at 9/8.
I remember Good Times first-run episodes airing on weekend afternoons like around 2 or 4pm,
or hawaii 5-0 reruns on weekdays in primetime after the show had left the air. That was mid to
late 80s...

I noticed that the NBC station in Hawaii wasn't showing the 1969 NLCS live. I'm wondering if
anyone knows what year Hawaii gained the capability through satellite to receive live tv from the
Mainland USA?

Exceptions would be of course sporting events like Monday Night Football, which to this day airs
on tape delay so it can be watched in prime time.

Wouldn't that now be 'Sunday Night Football' on NBC airing on tape delay, since 'MNF' moved to
ESPN a few years ago? (As Chris Berman would say, '8 Eastern, 5 Pacific, 2 o'clock in Waikiki!...'

in that same period, would certain live news events be shown live in Hawaii (things like Apollo 11
and 13, election night, etc).

Yes I forgot about "Sunday Night Football", I have not watched it since basicially MNF moved to
Sundays on NBC.....
Things I remember just within the past 10 years, NCAA Mens title game airing live and then
replayed in primetime, World Series games airing only in prime time and not live...remember if
you rebroadcast the game in primetime you can ad as many commercials as you want. Our local
news often did not start until 10:05-10:15pm because of all the commercials added into the
broadcast to help pay for satellite costs. I think the news finally went on standard clock time for
10:00pm circa 2001 or so....

I know when JFK was assassinated in 1963, they local stations had no video images to use, so
they simply showed photos of the president and played somber music, adlibbing the info they
were getting from the wire reports to stay on air in great length. Believe they also did this for RFK
in 1968 too....remember the network newscasts were flown in from LA (west coast feed) and just
arrived before the 10pm news came on.....before that the network newscasts were a day to 3
days old. Can you imagine watching old news? But you had no choice and it also aired late at
night too like around 1am in the morning...

Re: Retro: North Carolina Wednesday, August 14, 1963
I believe the "On the Mall" show from WSOC-TV was produced live from the then-new
Charlottetown Mall, which was just southeast of Uptown Charlotte. Jack Knight was the host of
the show, one of the few TV things he did. Knight was a phenomenal radio host, just didn't
translate well to television.
Later . . . .

Re: Retro: North Carolina Wednesday, August 14, 1963
I worked with Jack Knight at WTOB Winston-Salem when
he was morning man in the early '80s; I think he was
coming down to the end of his career by that time.
I'll never forget his dead-on impression of Arthur Smith.
RETRO: Providence/Boston/Hartford Thursday, September 11, 1986 (1 of 2)
Channels Listed In The Providence Edition Of TV Guide:
Providence, R.I.
6 WLNE (CBS)
10 WJAR (NBC)
12 WPRI (ABC)
36 WSBE (PBS) (Temporarily off the air)
64 WSTG (Ind.)
Vineyard Haven, Mass.
58 WCVX (Ind.)
Boston
2 WGBH (PBS)
4 WBZ (NBC)
5 WCVB (ABC)
7 WNEV (CBS)
25 WXNE (Ind.)
38 WSBK (Ind.)
56 WLVI (Ind.)
68 WQTV (Ind.)
Worcester
27 WHLL (Ind.)
Marlborough
66 WVJV (Ind.)
Hartford, Conn.
3 WFSB (CBS)
24 WEDH (PBS)
61 WTIC (Ind.)
Waterbury
20 WTXX (Ind.)
New Britain
30 WVIT (NBC)
New Haven
8 WTNH (ABC)
Norwich
53 WEDN (PBS)
In addition to the listings herein, WVJV, Ch. 66 in Marlborough, Mass. airs music videos. (I
checked, and these are the only programs listed on Channel 66 a.k.a. V-66 - for the week that
I could find: American Bandstand, Saturday at 12:30 PM, Soul Train, Saturday at 6 PM; A.M.
Sunday, an hour-long discussion program, Sunday at 7 AM; and a four-hour program titled
Bob & Zip, listed as a comedy show, Sunday at 4 PM, followed by an hour-long episode of
Comedy Break at 8 PM.)
To give you an idea of what channels had black bullets in the listings, all Rhode Island stations, all
Connecticut stations except WTNH and WEDH, and only WCVX from Massachusetts have black
bullets.
Also, regarding WSBE, here is the blurb about their absence from the air, as listed on the Sports
Calendar page on page A-13:
Off the air: WSBE, Ch. 36, plans to interrupt service until mid-September while a new
transmitter is installed.
Also, in select pages within the entire issue, on the top, there would be a disclaimer reading,
WSBE is off the air: See the note on page A-13.
Anyway, without any further ado, here are the program listings for 9.11.86. I will also include
listings for WPIX (New York City; Ind.) and WOR (New Jersey; Ind.), which are both included in
the cable portion of the listings. And an added bonus, not only have I included the designation of
shows that were black-and-white and closed captioned (of which there were literally a mere
handful back around this time), but I have also listed the description of most of the programs,
where applicable. I hope you enjoy the listings and the memories, as well as my pointed
commentary, as much as I have putting it together it helped me pass the time while my
Internet connection was down. Have fun!

Boston, even back then. And by the way, on this particular weekend, Fred Rogers actually signed
WGBH on Sunday morning, just as he shut it down on Saturday night, as on September 6, the
final program listed on WGBHs schedule was Mister Rogers Talks About School, a program

Mister Rogers on at 11:30 PM Saturday night? What's up with that? (unless they just figured the
parents would record it for their kids). I guess it was a "Beautiful Night in the Neighborhood."
;D ;D Or could it have been a HUGE TV listing mistake and it actually aired at 11:30AM earlier
that Saturday (which would have been more sensible, particularly with many PBS stations airing
repeats of the previous week's Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers and the ilk on weekends).
Then again, I do recall seeing, via Iowa Public Television some late Friday or Saturday nights in
the late '90s (possibly even after midnight), reruns of the 1995-96 short-lived "Square One TV
Math Talk" teacher instruction program (a "revival" in a sense of the old Square One TV series).

It might've been a special for parents that preceded a week of episodes dealing with that
subject. During the post-1979 run of Mister Rogers, the series would occasionally run nighttime
specials as a preview for the coming week and how parents could use them to talk to their kids
about them. These prime-time specials are often hosted by others, and features Mister Rogers
talking about the subject and answering questions that others might ask of it.

30 Facts Of Life (CC) (WVIT pre-empted this NBC network show on Saturday so that it can
present 1985 New England Patriots Highlights, which documents the 11-5 teams winning of
the conference title and trip to the Super Bowl. And yet, there was a possible blackout on their
home opener earlier today go figure. Anyway, the Facts episode is the first of a two-parter, in
which Tootie plans to join a road show after graduation despite her parents objections, while
Natalie plans to find an apartment where she can write in peace. Not sure why this needed two
episodes to hash things out.)
Could the possible reason for the two part episode be that it was considered a "very special
episode?"

Per The Ted Knight Show: These would have been repeats of the 1985-1986 shows when they
changed over from Too Close For Comfort to Ted Knight Show and when Ted Knight died from
colon cancer in August 1986 and his death was the cancellation of the show and the premiere of
The Ted Knight Show started in 1985 not 1986.

Thanks for the clarification, Braves. I should have knew something was up when WCVB aired a
completely different episode the weekend that another station aired the pilot - so it appears the
pilot was actually a rerun.

The show was supposed to premeire in the fall of '85, but was delayed due to Knight's health,
and didn't premiere til early '86.

Why couldn't both 8 and 13 carry "A Current Affair" and "Nightline" at the same time? And
what's up with "This Morning's Business" airing only on 13? Though, I see 8 makes up the half-
hour broadcast day difference with an infomercial...

What did KPIX do?
KPIX ran their April Fool's trick in TVG back in 1960, running ads promising free bunnies to
anyone viewing KPIX on April 1st (which just happened to fall on Easter weekend), with "April
Fool" in small type at the bottom of the ad ;D

What did they do, take 5 minutes out of Sesame Street to do a local school news report? I
wonder how this worked. By the way, the SS episode that aired that day was episode #3109.
Here's the guide for it:

1AM
8 Late Night with David Letterman (half-hour ?)
I wouldn't think NBC would allow that...
If I remember correctly, the show "Comedy Tonight" that followed Carson was a Media General
(WXFL/WFLA's owner) production that was syndicated across the country. I believe it only lasted
a season.
I wonder if WXFL started airing Letterman in full after that?
As Media General was co-producer (at least) of that series, its stations (at the time being only
WXFL, plus then-ABC affiliates WJKS (WCWJ) Jacksonville and WCBD Charleston) were
contractually obligated to show the series at the time prescrived to them. Media General
apparently chosen 12:30AM, which would be (normally) out of the way for ABC programming,
but forcing WXFL to delay Dave a half-hour. After Comedy Tonight left the air, WXFL returned
Dave to its proper timeslot at 12:30 AM.
As for stations pre-empting or delaying Letterman, I recall KPRC in Houston delaying him until
1AM when the show first debuted.
Along the same token, I did not see "Comedy Tonight" until the early-1990s, when the WWOR
EMI Service carried the repeats (MCA-TV, which was WWOR's programming partner at the time,
syndicated the program on Media General's behalf). Though it was kind of interesting that
WWOR, though on its EMI Service only, carried a program that was taped in New York City at its
then-competitor, WNYW (its logo was seen in the closing credits).
...in the same listing, you put "Dynasty" on Channel 44 and 7 PM - followed at 7:30 PM by "The
People's Court". Maybe Tampa folk liked their shows in halves?
At the time, the show's then-syndicator, 20th Century Fox, offered "Dynasty" in one-hour or half-
hour versions. Of course, "Dynasty" did not last very long in reruns.
In the past, some hour series, such as "The Rookies", "Knight Rider" and the "BJ / Lobo" combo
were also offered as half-hours, as well as the usual hour format.

As for stations pre-empting or delaying Letterman, I recall KPRC in Houston delaying him until
1AM when the show first debuted.
KPRC also used to delay "Late Night" when it was hosted by Conan O'Brien, until as late as 2 AM.
He even made a bit out of it, and traveled to a bar or somewhere in Houston to watch his own
show at 2 AM.

I was wondering why WHLL/WUNI Channel 27, WGBX Channel 44 and WABU Channel 68 were
not included. Coincidentally, this evening I was actually watching reruns of "The Wild, Wild
West" recorded off of WABU during that time period around 1994. What a nifty TV station it was
at the time. It was a shame that BU sold the station to PAX back in '99. It was on its' way to
becoming a Sports Powerhouse at the time. As soon as PAX bought it and disassembled the
station, it was downhill all the way ever since. :/

Well I wanted to do the top boston stations first, (chs 2,4,5,7,25,38,56,) because it would be
much easier to do first. I try to come up with the rest as soon as I can!

It's curious why you didn't include the prime time schedule for ANY station. I know they change
each evening, but it's customary to name the DAY, then just input whatever aired on THAT
particular day.
Also...... I was living there at the time and have no recollection of ch. 25 waiting until 11:30 am to
start the day! That seems odd.
If you're only as young as you feel -- why does reminiscing make me feel old!

Well Doing Primetime Was Just Difficult Too Do, So I did it by 5 day instead, and about ch 25 i
don't know about that

... about ch 25 i don't know about that
I question Channel 25, let alone any station, running back-to-back episodes of "Rush Limbaugh",
given only one episode per day was produced.
Well I just checked and found out they aired just only one episode per day, so i might have to fix
some things, all right?

Re: Retro: Southern California Wed, Aug 17, 1960
As to Channel 4's afternoon-movie skein Frandsen's Feature: From what I could tell, it lasted up
to 1966 when that show's host, Tom Frandsen, moved on to his own afternoon program
(originally 30 minutes, later expanded to an hour) called Tom Frandsen F.Y.I. The movie show,
now following this new series, carried on for another two years, albeit without a host - and re-
titled as Movie 4 which was already in use at WNBC-TV in New York and WRC-TV in Washington,
DC.
I presume KNXT's Early Show, Late Show and Late Late Show all premiered around late
1951/early 1952, after these call letters took effect.

Odd that CBS (Chs. 2 and 8) follows Central time in the
morning but Eastern time in the afternoon (note that
"ATWT" airs at 1:30, same as in the East). I was under
the impression that CBS daytime also followed the same
schedule for Central and Pacific time. Anyone know when
the change came, because I know it was in place by November
22, 1963.
Also, I note that NBC stations (Chs. 4 and 10) don't get the midday
break (1-2 PM ET/12 N-1 PM CT), but go straight to "Queen
For A Day" at noon; it aired at 2 PM (ET) in those last months
on NBC, but airs at noon on the West Coast. So network daytime
ends, at least on Ch. 4 (o&o) at 3 PM rather than 5. I assume the
concept of airing the 1:30 (ET) show at noon (PT) started when
"Let's Make A Deal" moved to 1:30 in 1964.
ABC followed Eastern time, mostly so that "American Bandstand" could
air at the convenient time of 4 PM (local) and did so until around 1974,
when KABC and KGO began expanding their newscasts and moving their
afternoon movies from 4:30 to 3:30.
Boxing aired live at 10 PM (ET)/7 PM (PT) on ABC; a policy that would
wreak havoc with ABC's Saturday-night programming to the left coast

in the next couple of years; does this schedule from the fall of 1961
sound familiar:
6 PM Lawrence Welk (live)
7 PM Fight Of The Week (live)
7:45 Make That Spare (time approximate, live)
8 PM Matty's Funnies
9 PM The Roaring Twenties
10 PM (Local)

It's quite notable how tiny the comittment was to news in those days. The longest news
broadcast I could find was 30 minutes at 11:00 PM on KTLA. The other channels were almost
entirely 15 minute newscasts. Does anybody remember what year KNXT went to the 60 minute
Big News with Jerry Dunphy at 6:00? It must have been 62 or 63, and I believe it was the first
hour long news program on the west coast, possibly in the nation.
Of note: Jack Paar's guest that night was George Murphy, the "song and dance" man who was in
the twilight of his show biz careeer by the 60s. Murphy ran for the US Senate in California in
1964, and won, though he wasn't much of a Senator, and served only one term. But Murphy had
the distinction of being the first successful actor turned politician - not Ronald Reagan, who ran
for Governor in '66.

I believe KNXT premiered "The Big News" later that year (in fact, about two months after these
listings).

I think that's a typo. Should be the International Ampitheatre.
It was an arena near the stockyards where they used to hold livestock shows.
(I suppose so the politicians wouldn't be the only ones creating a stench in there?)
That was one of my least happy TV memories growing up in the pre-cable era.
Every fourth summer when all the channels would be filled with politicians blathering away
every night.

the International Ampitheatre.
The site of the '68 Democratic convention as well. Weren't the '56 conventions the first time
Huntley & Brinkley were together on air? As far as the other 2 networks, I'm guessing Douglas
Edwards anchored CBS, and John Daly anchored ABC.

Sure was. In fact that was what brought the impetus for NBC, by October, to have them replace
John Cameron Swayze in what was originally called NBC News (some distinct title, eh?) before
adopting The Huntley-Brinkley Report title around 1958.

All told, Chicago's International Ampitheatre hosted five major political conventions over the
years: the 1952 Republican & Democratic conventions, the 1956 Democratic Convention (as has
been noted), the 1960 Republican Convention and the 1968 Democratic Convention.

You're correct...should read International Ampitheatre.

The listing for CKLW-TV includes,
"9:00 St. Nicholas Boxing: 10-round middleweight action between Willie Troy (DC/33-5-1, 23 KO)
and Jerry Luedee (New Haven CT/20-3, 11 KO; Chris Schenkel is ringside with the call)"t
CKLW-TV had DuMont affiliation from the time it signed on in 1954 but DuMont was already a
dying network--it stopped feeding regular entertainment series in the spring of 1955, limiting
itself to a few remaining boxing and football feed commitments through the summer of 1956
before totally shutting down. This may have been the last, or nearly the last, program ever fed
under the DuMont Network banner, after ten years of effort to build a network to rival CBS and
NBC. Why they failed while ABC and later Fox succeeded has been the subject of books, lectures
andwebsites and would take too much time and space to discuss here. Pittsburgh broadcast
historian Clarke Ingram says the core of DuMont, stations WABD (later WNEW-TV and now
WNYW) in New York, WTTG in Washington and KTTV in Los Angeles, later became first the
Metromedia company under John Kluge, and later the core of Rupert Murdoch's Fox Network--
so in a way DuMont lives as the Fox TV Network and all its O&Os today.

True, Chet and David emerged as the new news stars
at the '56 conventions, thanks to their more informal
approach (as opposed to CBS). However, CBS won the
ratings with its team of Cronkite, Murrow, and Sevareid.
ABC had John Daly and radio veteran Quincy Howe.
Interestingly, on the August 12, 1956, broadcast of
"What's My Line?" the Mystery Guests were Cronkite,
Sevareid, Edwards, Robert Trout, and Charles Collingwood,
there to promote CBS's coverage of the Democratic Convention.
Gil Fates has pointed out that CBS refused permission for ABC
to air this spot on the 25th-anniversary "Line" special in 1975;
CBS's explanation was that its newspeople weren't allowed to
appear on entertainment shows (this is before Dan Rather started

showing up on Letterman); also, the '56 conventions were long over,
"What's My Line?" was no longer on CBS, so what was the point?
(Would have been nice, to see one more time, five news legends
together.)

Walter Cronkite anchored CBS's coverage.
True. Murrow and Sevareid provided commentary from
a separate booth. As for Daly and Howe, I've seen a
picture of them side-by-side in Barbara Matusow's history
of network news to the early '80s, "The Evening Stars."
Re the appearance of the CBS News team on "What's My
Line?": I wonder what went through Daly's mind, knowing he'd
be up against them?

Re: Retro: North Alabama (Birmingham and Huntsville), Monday 11/20/95
Don't you mean "One Life To Live" at 1 PM on 6 and 31?
"All My Children" airs at 1 PM (ET)/12 N (CT).
BTW, Ch. 6 was the last of the 12 stations Fox bought in
the New World deal of '94 to actually make the network
switch. 6 still had an affiliation contract with ABC that
didn't expire until 1996, so it wasn't until then that the
change was made; 6 went to Fox and ABC33/40 was
created.

Did any other stations delay Leno a half-hour or more for syndicated programming? This is
probably the first market I've ever seen that happen in.

Actually, Channel 13 delayed the Tonight Show until 11:30/11:35 from the time they picked it up
from Channel 42 (and by default, 33) in '68 or '69 until '93 or '94. They did it in the beginning
because they were dually affiliated with CBS and NBC until '70, and would carry network
programming until 11:00, followed by the late news. After the affiliation switch, they carried off-
network reruns at 10:00. It wasn't until '76 or '77 that they moved their late news to 10:00. Even
then, they carried reruns after the news.

I don't know if KARE/11 Minneapolis/St. Paul ever delayed
Leno; I know they delayed Carson until 11 or 11:05, IIRC.
Somebody from the Twin Cities can probably answer this
better than I can.

Did Channel 26 carry any program at 3 PM? Or was it an hour of "Campbells" power starting at
2:30 PM?

Re: ABC Schedule Monday, October 2, 1978
ABC pre-empted some of its daytime schedule to air the famous(infamous in New England)
playoff game between the Yankees and Red Sox. The telecast began at 2:30 ET, and, depending
on how much postgame coverage they did, would have ended by 6 ET. 'General Hospital' and
'Edge of Night' were bumped that day, and 'One Life to Live' would have had only half an hour, so
it must have been pre-empted, too.

Re: Retro: Oklahoma City/Ada Tues, Aug 18, 1970
Does anyone have an Oklahoma City schedule from 1977, '78, or '79?
I'm particularly interested because KOCO was owned by Combined
Communications at the time and was calling itself "5 Alive" (it was a
sister station to WXIA and WLKY, which also explains my interest).
Also, does anyone know where I can find an issue of TV Guide from
that period? I have yet to locate one on ebay.

BlueNoser, what episode of I Dream of Jeannie aired that night?. It was of course the last season
for the NBC sitcom as the Peacock cancelled the show after 5 years. This was the season Jeannie
and Major Nelson marry.

Now, that is a show I would love to watch. What did they do, have Cheech and Chong roll joints
for kids, while teaching them the two -fisted over the shoulder technique?

Based on cross-referencing what TVG said and an episode guide website

(http://www.larryhagman.com/jeannieep...m#Season Five:) says, it was The Solid Gold Jeannie
(ep 130, first shown 1/20/70).

Wasn't this the week WBZ and WHDH switched their network affiliations with each other?
Yes It Was!
4 WBZ (CBS) Boston
Are you sure? CBS did not have a morning news feed this early in 1995. It's likely that Up to the
Minute continued until 5am.
Well WABU carried CBS Morning News At 6:30am back in 1994, So I'm Pretty Sure WBZ was
Carrying It Since They No Longer Do Preemptions
It was pre-empted for local news on WBZ. CBS wasn't about to insist stations truncate their
successful morning newscasts.
Well WBZ is Supposed To Be A CBS O&O What Did They Expect?
Well WBZ is Supposed To Be A CBS O&O What Did They Expect?
WBZ did not become a CBS O&O until 1996. CBS Morning News was not aired on the station
until 1998 at the earliest.
What's your source??
Well My Source Is That They Should've Put CBS Morning News In There Right After WBZ
Switched From NBC To CBS. And one other thing, I'm only doing weekday schedules because
weekend schedules are too hard to do.
RETRO: BOSTON TV: DECEMBER 26-30, 1994

This Is The Boston TV Schedule From December 26-30, 1994, Which It was the last week for WBZ
and WHDH on their old affiliates, The following week WBZ switched from NBC to CBS, and
WHDH switched from CBS to NBC.

Re: Retro: Tri-Cities TN/VA Sat, Aug 19, 1995
At my grandmother's house in the late 60's in eastern Kentucky, there are lots of mountains and
most people lived on the flater bottom lands. You had to put an antenna on top of the mountain
and run a long wire down to your tv. Even with that, she could only get WCYB 5 and it was snowy
at times. Considering Bristol was about 100 miles away, it's a wonder she even got that.
My uncle had a taller mountain and he could get channel 11 also. Some folks attached a booster
to their line and their reception was almost normal......but the line was electrified and if you
touched it you'd get a really big shock.
Then came cable (with about 10 stations) which included a couple from Knoxville. We finally got
a local channel when WYMT 57 Hazard came on in the early 70's.
USA Dance Mix Atlanta's 24/7 streaming Dance station. (Dance-Disco-House 1977 to today)
iTUNES (Electronica section), Tunein, Streema, Nobex, Ootunes, etc.

and run a long wire down to your tv. Even with that, she could only get WCYB 5 and it was snowy
at times. Considering Bristol was about 100 miles away, it's a wonder she even got that.
My uncle had a taller mountain and he could get channel 11 also. Some folks attached a booster
to their line and their reception was almost normal......but the line was electrified and if you
touched it you'd get a really big shock.
Then came cable (with about 10 stations) which included a couple from Knoxville. We finally got
a local channel when WYMT 57 Hazard came on in the early 70's.
WYMT's predecessor WKYH signed on in 1968. It was low budget television but it was all
Southeastern Kentucky had for the very reason stated above. The closest Kentucky city with
television service was Lexington. It was a UHF market and the billions* of cable systems across
that part of the state focused on VHF signals from Huntington/Charleston, Tri-cities, Knoxville,
Bluefield, and Asheville. WKYH did news focused on the mountains. Kentucky Central Television
purchased WKYH and changed the call letters to WYMT. It became a satellite station of WKYT
Lexington.
As mentioned, there is little over the air reception in Southeastern Kentucky, unless you're atop
a mountain.
* Billions is an exaggeration but each county had dozens of cable systems back then.

I had forgotten WYMT's old WKYH call name. They had a local music show featuring mountain
music and we often enjoyed watching that. Folks always thought they were channel 57 because
of the big flood of '57.
I was wrong about the cable......we only got 1 station from Knoxville WBIR 10 NBC. For ABC they
gave us WLOS Asheville, N.C. (which was a really long way off). Seems like ABC in Knoxville would
have been more logical.
Hazard had one of the first FM radio stations in KY (WSGS) which could be heard in a large area
of Kentucky, Tennesse and Virginia, but TV was much slower to arrive. WSGS played country
when it was a new radio format.
Odd they even have WYMT today. The city limit population is only about 5,000 and Perry County
only has about 30,000.

One of the groups featured on WKYH for years was The Goins Brothers. Ray Goins passed away
three years ago. His brother Melvin still performs leading the bluegrass band "Windy Mountain".
It was long time Hazard mayor Bill Gorman who signed on WKYH. He wanted to give that part of
the country TV instead of relying on far away markets. Gorman also ran Hazard's cable TV
system.
WTVK, as well as WKPT Kingsport, didn't have much cable coverage due to the UHF issue. Many
cable systems back then focused on VHF. My background is Whitesburg, KY where for years ABC
on cable was WOWK (then WHTN) Huntington and occasionally WLOS even though WKPT was
much closer. Yes, both were channel 13 and both clobbered each other with co-channel
interference. It wasn't until the eighties that they finally settled on WKPT.
WTVK (while ABC) and WKPT competed with WLOS for viewers in East Tennessee due to Channel
13's antenna location atop Mt. Pisgah. The antenna elevation was over a mile above and
provided usable coverage just east of Knoxville and over most of the Tri-cities market.
If you do a You Tube search for "WKYH" you'll find several videos from the last days of Channel
57 prior to the switch to WYMT.

No, actually; by this point, TVG's NY Metro edition was already carrying WATR's entire daily
schedule. And oddly enough, the Sunday Herald didn't even carry Channel 20 - not even what
was then WHNB Channel 30, either.
It was from the Sunday Herald (and the Register), however, that I was able to flesh out the movie
show titles of the various local stations.

7:00 WNVT Great TV Auction (honorary chairman Sonny Jurgenson, celeb auctioneer chairman
Willard Scott (who was with WRC in those days))
I was present for those Great TV Auctions and was there that night. Although an auctioneer, I
was not quite the celeb that Willard was! For those who don't know, this was an excellent way
for public stations to fund their broadcasting. The FCC allowed it especially because the public
never seemed to object.
The station asked businesses to donate items to the station. It went on the air for 10 days and
auctioned these items to the highest bidder. The bidder generally paid less than retail, although
some people paid more than the item was worth to help the station. Items auctioned off ranged
from normal items such as TV's, drsses, trip and autographed scripts. Strange or novel items
included 1 day's interest on a million dollars (you had to determine which bank rate they were
using), a car, dinner with a celeb and even Liz Ray's hot pants (she was found in the Capitol
reflecting pool with her boss as I remember).
One year a guy showed up and asked if we could use a donation of those compressed wood
fireplace logs. When we said yes, he ponted to a tractor trailer of them in the parking lot!
Another product we had donated were small bowls with fake flowers and a small bulb of
fragrance in there. We tried to sell them but had no luck until one worker refered to them as
"smelly jars" and we sold out.
We often had Redskins footballs and jerseys to auction off. Politicians also were in great supply.
Once we had one of the airlines who donated fresh pineapples from Hawaii, flown in fresh and
delivered from the airport. A congressman was there that night hawking them when a bid for
something like $100 came in. It was a fraternatity who said they would pay the high price if the
politician would come to their party and mix drinks!
As you can see, it was 10 nights of commercials and fun all while raising perhaps tens to a
hundred thousand dollars each year.
Each night many volunteers were needed to man phones, dress tables and so on. When we took
over an empty storefront in a mall, I was tasked to find volunteers. I walked into the mall and
asked people if they would like to be on TV that night! believe it or not, it worked and we filled
the studio with people willing to be on TV and help out Public TV.
There was one night that for an hour or two, every commercial TV station in Washington and
Baltimore simulcasted the show. The stations found that carrying the TV auction for an hour
could count an hour of public service time they would not have to transmit. The public really
loved the show each year and this was done for at least 8 to 10 years in DC.
The last year they held it, the GM thought it wa sjust too much work each year. I suggested they
only get a few items each night. Just take a half hour, have someone sit on a stool and do the
one table of items. The GM said "Noby will tune in every night to watch us sell things!" This was
a few months before the Home Shopping Network debuted. I still snicker about his comments!
For those who watched WNVT/WNCV during these years, I hope this brings back some
memories.

Sidebars;
The Easter Mass celebrant on March 24, Msgr. Fulton Sheen, becarme one of America's most
famous and most admired religious broadcasters after World War II. He was host of the weekly
series "Life is Worth Living" on the DuMont and ABC networks between 1951 and 1956, and its
revival, "The Bishop Sheen Program," taped at WPIX New York and WOKR in Rochester, NY and
seen in over 100 markets weekly in syndication between 1961 and 1970. (The later syndicated
program, many episodes of which were taped in color, is still seen in re-runs on the EWTN
Catholic cable/satellite network.)
CBS in 1940 also had a New York experimentally licensed TV station, W2XAB (predecessor of
WCBS-TV), on what was then Channel 2 (60-66 mHz, now designated channel 3). Unlike NBC,
CBS issued little in the way of a published schedule and offered few programs intended for the
public on its New York television facility before the start of full commercial operation the next
year. It appears to have had no programs announced in advance for Easter Week of 1940. CBS
transmissions on W2XAB were more strictly experimental and designed to give CBS technicians
and producers experience in preparation for full commercial operation--which came on July 1 of
1941 for both CBS and NBC.
Allen B. DuMont Laboratories, which were already making and selling TV receivers for home use,
were also doing experiments and building facilities which would later become experimental
W2XWV and eventually commercial WABD on Channel 4 (ultimately Fox flagship WNYW on
channel 5). DuMont experimental programming would begin in 1941.

Awesome stuff, Bob -- thanks for sharing this. Too bad there weren't any kinescopes or
videotape around in those days to capture the truly early days of TV.

Mrs. Carveth Wells was a fixture on W2XBS/WNBC for years
in the '40s, but I think she finally ran out of films. At any rate,
as Castleman and Podrazik point out in "Watching TV," she was
not the future of television even in the '40s; the short-lived 1946
variety show "Hour Glass" proved to be the way television was
heading--at least for the next couple of decades. In fact, someone
once found a picture of Ed Sullivan hanging around backstage--no
doubt envisioning a something-for-everyone-type show like 'Hour
Glass."
It is indeed too bad that no record of these early shows exists,
but there are some stills; there's a book (I think it's called "Please
Stand By") that's all about pre-1948 television, and there are pictures
of--among other things--a young Hugh Downs, then in Chicago, with
a mustache, yet--and a drama produced at WRGB and set in the passenger
section of an airliner. But even that book's author concedes that by 1948,
the immediate future of television lay with the likes of Sullivan, Berle, and
Ted Mack.

Actually....There is.
The book Please Stand By mentions a film someone made at their home, of a 1939 W2XBS
broadcast - no sound. It is stored in the Paley Center in NYC. I've seen it.
However, on Youtube, you can watch a brief clip of TV film that predates that relic....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uC-g-eB6Rjs
It's a 1949 presentation by NBC to The Society of Motion Picture Engineers, describing the
kinescope process (although the narration doesn't look like a kinescope, though he claims it is).
In it, is a clip from the NBC vaults of a 1938 W2XBS show!!!! Ya gotta see this. It's way cool!
It also contains a kinescope clip from 1946, of a prize fight. By then, the I-O cameras were in use.
The kinescope process -- the actual machinery to faithfully record TV broadcasts on film -- wasn't
invented until 1947, by Du Mont. So anything before that was an ad-hoc film recording.
There's also this stuff, from 1949 -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wswTT...eature=related --
it has clips of the democratic convention from the summer of 1948.
And, this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ1gamhoH6k -- which is ABC simulcasting Don

McNeil's Breakfast club, on WABD/Du Mont -- because WJZ, ABC's flagship station, wasn't on the
air yet in NYC...And they're live in Philly, talking about the conventions, which would date it to
the summer of 1948, which makes it pretty ancient stuff.
It's also cool because you can hear the top of the hour ID done by WABD's voice-over announcer.

Oh, it was network all right - if you see the second part dealing with UHF's and Connecticut

Wouldnt it be possible that WNBC was the local Giants Preseason home and WATR was an

WCGV was running "You Bet Your Life" 11pm weeknights, at least during the summer of '88. Not
surprising that WDJT was running this, and looking at their schedule (at this point, they were
only on the air for a few years) they picked up old shows the other established stations in town
dropped long before (The Love Boat, if I remember correctly, aired on WVTV when it entered off-
net syndication in the early-to-mid 80s). Of course, they were two years away from becoming the
Brew City's CBS affiliate.

Re: Retro: Central Florida Saturday, August 26, 1972
So, this answers the questions others have had on my post of New York schedules of this date:
That Jets/Cowboys exhibition game was an NBC national broadcast.
And would anyone know what the title of the Arnie episode was where Vito Scotti guested? I
suppose one would have to look at original TVG's from earlier in the season to find out, and
therefore extrapolate from IMDb?

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Saturday, August 24, 1968

Looking at this I'd say WTCG 17 owes much of it's early success to "Roller Derby." It was very
popular at the time and had to be their top rated show.
At what point did 17 go super-station/national? Didn't they have a full lineup by about 1972?
That's when the good times really started. Wasn't it already on many Georgia cable systems
before going national? Did TV 46 debut before channel 36 got their act together? I know we had
46 on cable instead of 36.

Ch. 17 became a "superstation" in December 1976. Prior to
that it was on cable systems all over the Southeast.
Roller derby was popular, but two things really helped, and
they came at Ch. 11's expense. The first was Ted Turner's
grabbing off wrestling in late 1971. The promoters had not been
happy with 11's moving wrestling from its traditional 6 or 6:30 PM slot
to 10:30 PM in the fall of 1968. When Turner could offer wrestling at
the earlier time, the promoters were more than happy to grab the slot.
Secondly, ABC forced 11 to pick up the network news, which it did in
December 1971. Suddenly, Turner was able to counterprogram from 6
to 7; he put "Star Trek" on and found himself competitive against news
on 2, 5, and 11.
Ch. 46 came on the air at about the time 36 was folding in 1971. 36 would
return to the air in 1976, built slowly, but became a permanent fixture, now
part of a Gannett-owned duopoly with 11.
Hope that answers your questions.

Interesting that the swinging hips of ABC's "American Bandstand" were too hot to carry for
Chattanooga and Macon, but not for Atlanta. Old fuddy-dud station managers (who probably
enjoyed watching "Lawrence Welk") deprived viewers of Steppenwolf & the Smiths!!! A.B. was in
top form back in 1969. WTVM in Columbus also aired "Bandstand" which was probably the
cheapest route for them.
WRCB & WXIA appear to be bogged down in Country music. I doubt you'd find a station willing
to devote as much time to such a narrow audience segment today.

By around 1972 Ch. 11 would be out of the country-music
business, and Ted Turner would be airing an entire block of
country shows on Saturday nights. I remember, during my time
at UGA, only three syndicated country shows on 11 Alive: with
Jimmy Dean, Mel Tillis, and Dolly Parton.
Eventually, by about the mid-'70s, "Bandstand" would be on
WTVC; they dropped Welk in 1973, BTW, a year after WXIA did;
in both markets the Music Maker wound up on the NBC station
(I'm referring, of course, to WSB at this particular time).
Remember, this is the South, and syndicated country-music shows
were a staple of weekend television in those days. Eventually "Hee
Haw" drove most of them (with the exception of Porter Wagoner) off
the air.
Later, I'm going to post a schedule for Ch. 11 from 1968 in which "Wide
World Of Sports" aired on delay to accommodate some country shows.

Some comments, bp, solicited or no ...
WRCB, 7 p.m.--"Who?" is exactly what most viewers were thinking. Nashville was full of aspirants
to become country music stars back in the good old days like these, and Ms. Wallace did better
than most. Unlike the major portion of them who wound up working menial jobs and getting
performing gigs at honkey-tonks to pitch songs to any Music Row type who might be listening,
Ms. Wallace got farther than she probably expected. She actually got television airtime. In all
likelihood, that may have been parlayed into (or accompanied) a short-term record deal, but she
obviously never caught the ear of radio DJs, and likely went back to Kentucky or Arkansas or
wherever she hailed from within several years or so, having to console herself for a failed dream
that almost made it. Especially prior to the corporate domination of the country business in
recent times, you could fill a whole small town with people like that. These days, if you don't
come pre-packaged for the "reality" talent shows, forget about it.
WATL and WCWB--What think you of the new kids on the block? Was it too much to expect
Atlanta to support five commercial stations in 1969? And did channel 41 have even a snowball's
chance in you-know-where to topple the monopoly WMAZ had held since antiquity? (!) Take
yourself back forty-some years and be a media critic for us. Pretty please?

At that point I would say that Atlanta could not support five
commercial stations, although it was Ch. 36 that appeared at
first to be the fourth station. However, when its owner, U.S.
Communications, went under, Ch. 17 went from fifth of five to
fourth of four in one stroke, and with Ted Turner at the helm by
that time the rest is history.
Ch. 41 took a mighty gamble, but let's look at why there's only
one analog VHF in Macon:
Atlanta 2, 5, 11 (8 in Athens)
Columbus 3, 9
Jacksonville 4, 7, 12 (8 in Waycross)
Augusta 6, 12
Albany 10
So only 13 was left for Macon and, as you say, it was
a monster from the '50s. The odds would have been

about as shaky as Ch. 28 in Raleigh/Durham, except that
Ch. 41 had to face one VHF instead of two. But 41 persevered;
I suspect its ability to get the local cable company to blank out
NBC programs first on WSB, then on WXIA, didn't hurt.

Actually, the late Freda Wallace was from Birmingham. She made a name for herself playing at
various nightclubs in the Birmingham area during the '70's, and was a regular on WBRC-6's
annual Cerebral Palsy Telethon. I think she passed away in the mid-'80's due to complications
from diabetes.

I remember those Cerebral Palsy Telethons on WBRC, and I

remember that Dennis James used to come to Birmingham to
emcee them. But even though I lived there from 1969 to
1973, I don't remember Ms. Wallace, and I somehow doubt
she ever became a major name in country music. Thanks for
the info on her just the same.

Wow... One of the few examples of a station carrying "Jeopardy!" in the "prime access" hour and

today!
Oh, and the Pittsburgh indies really know how to get into the holiday spirit with their movie

ahh....that late afternoon sitcom block on WTAE. Always used to enjoy it.
Wish they would go back to that as opposed to the endless stream of judge
shows and trailer-talk.
Jem? As I recall, she was truly outrageous. Truly, truly, truly outrageous.
(I don't remember why exactly...)
WNEU-63 would have just signed on around that time. Their schedule consisted of
infomercials, public domain cartoons, and a mix of very old and foreign films. They
went dark a couple of years before the digital switch (was all home shopping at the
time) and so far as I know they did not file to make the transition.
And how soon they forget Teddy Ruxpin! At the time you could not get away from
him. Our family still likes to laugh about the impassioned Christmas sermon given by
our then-Pastor using poor Teddy as the whipping boy for all of the evils of Materialism
that surround the Christmas season. ("CHRISTMAS is NOT a TALKING BEAR!!!!!)

Did WPXI-TV ever air Classic Concentration?. I saw Sale of The Century at 10:30 on 11. I know
Sale aired @ 10 am ET/9am CT and PT on NBC, but did WPXI-TV carry Sale on a tape delay?.

Ditto. And I wish the independent stations would go back to being independent.
Jem? As I recall, she was truly outrageous. Truly, truly, truly outrageous.
(I don't remember why exactly...)
Then in the 90's, you had "The Anna Nicole Smith Show" on E!, whose theme song instructed
viewers that Smith was "so outrageous." I wonder if she was ever sued by Jem for infringement. :
Anna Nicole was such a Misfit, she would've fit right in with Jem & the Holograms' rival group!
I think Anna Nicole's life was even more of a "cartoon" than Jem's.....

I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised. WGN America is presently showing
Dick York's last season, which is where I saw the episode I mentioned, and
where Darrin did get fired. I think by 1969 the show was recycling old plots;
yesterday they had a two-parter where Serena turned one of Darrin's female
clients into a monkey. Samantha had done the same thing to a male client
about two years earlier.
And yes, it seems Larry fired "Dustbin" (to use another of Endora's names
for him) about every third week. Larry would do anything--and I mean
anything--to keep a client happy.
I still say Samantha and company should have flown off into the sunset
when Dick York quit. The Dick Sargent episodes are a bit too childish for
my taste; neither does he play off Agnes Moorehead as well.

No ch. 31/WUHF yet, eh? I thought they were on the air by then.
And why did ch. 8 carry The Midnight Special on Saturday night? What did they do on Friday
nights in that time slot?

According to the Wikipedia article, WUHF didn't sign on until the following January. Midnight
Special aired in the regular Friday slot in Buffalo and Syracuse, TV8 delayed it by one day as they
carried a late movie on Friday nights.

Correct - WUHF came on in late January 1980. (I was watching!)
The station's offices were already open in the summer of 1979. I know this because my aunt,
who'd been an account executive at WHEC, went down the street to work at WUHF, though she
left before the station even made it on the air.
I think WUHF had intended to get on the air sooner, but was delayed by the wait for a new tower
to go up on Pinnacle Hill. (Ironically, the "goalpost" tower that went up late in 1979 for WUHF
and WXXI-TV/FM is about to get a major overhaul; after 30 years, the crossbar and the analog 21
and 31 antennas will be removed soon to be replaced with a top-mounted antenna for WXXI-
TV's digital signal.)

If the Giants are hosting the Jets, then this game was played at Giants Stadium in New Jersey.
If it had been a few years earlier, when the Giants were still at Yankee Stadium, then it would
have qualified as the "Subway Bowl" (the Jets called Shea Stadium home then and didn't move
to East Rutherford until 1984).

In the summer of 1947 stations did little or no morning telecasting and limited afternoon
programming, although this would change during 1948.
Most stations took a day off during a typical broadcast week, as WCBS-TV did on this day.
New York had only three operating stations between 1941 and the spring of 1948. Four aditional
stations were under construction at this time. WATV (Channel 13, Newark, later WNET, PBS in
New York) signed on early in the spring of 1948. WPIX (Channel 11) was next in the late spring,
followed by WJZ-TV Channel 7 (ABC, later WABC-TV) in August of 1948. WOR-TV (Channel 9) was
the last of the original group of NYC stations to sign on, in the fall of 1949.

Channel 2 had only been known as WCBS-TV since November of 1946 - the same time that their
880 AM radio outlet (formerly WABC) adopted the same calls.
As for WNBT's test pattern from this very year, which has been circulated around the Web - I
don't know whether that particular variation (with the specifications of what each of the wedge
calibration dots signified [and their "horizontal resolution" and "freq. in megacycles"
designations]) was actually used on air; there was another variation with the exact same
typesetting of "NBC" and "WNBT New York," only the grey background was darker (closer to the
25% grey in the five-step "bullseye" at center), and a white "4" filled the black dot in center, as
seen in the RCA Pict-O-Guide - Vol. II by John R. Meagher (published 1949).

Re: Retro: New York City Sun, Aug 26, 1956
The Herald Tribune may've referred to WCBS's 1 P.M. movie as Sunday Picture (and believe me,
I've seen these listings at the NYPL's main branch) - but its actual title was Picture for a Sunday
Afternoon.

And I recall that the "Picture For A Sunday Afternoon" intro had the same flash and pizzazz as
their "Late Show" and "Late Late Show" - at least when it ran in the 80's... I don't think they had
color back in 1956...

Up to about 1957, WCBS very occasionally ran a color film in color (such as the time in late 1957
when the New York TV premiere of Moulin Rouge on The Late Show was in color) - but their
attitude towards color was very much mirroring that of the CBS network as a whole. It wasn't
until 1965 that WCBS started running films in color on a regular basis. However, from 1973 to
about 1988 all WCBS's movie shows had the same opening sequence - even what was left of The
Early Show (the "Lite Brite" graphics and player piano music), the only difference being the series
title.

Interesting that only 3 in Columbus and 11 in Savannah were showing "Soul Train" at this time.
The show had gotten rotten and was just about toast by 1995. Channel 11 had even moved it to
midnight.
Had this been about 1980, probably 5 stations would have been on board.

Did any UHF stations in the South Georgia region show "Soul Train"? Bpatrick so far listed only
the VHFs from this edition, due to its size.

I've just put up the UHFs, but Ch. 31 in Albany, Ch. 46
in Atlanta, and Ch. 49 in Bainbridge/Tallahassee ran
"Soul Train"; also Ch. 24 in Macon.

I remember the first time I saw this edition of TV Guide. I thought I was going to get a migraine
trying to figure out the different 11's, 17's, etc.

Ok, I did not notice the UHF stations were not up.
TV Guide seemed to have some odd city combinations......and changed them often. But the old
guides were 10X better than the current one. I think they just became too costly to
produce......and maybe too big. 250 pages seems a lot. New York City must have had a 350 page
guide. As much as I enjoyed the old ones................ they'd probably cost $4.99 or more in today's
world.
We had a decent guide in the newspaper, but even that went away. Then they tried to sell them
for about $1.99.......I don't think so. Now the whole week is on about 6 pages. I wish the local
guide would list the local sub channels, then I might use it.

The show had gotten rotten and was just about toast by 1995. Channel 11 had even moved it to
midnight.
Soul Train, by this particular time frame, really lost its luster...factor in Don Cornelius' retirement
as host two years earlier (he still worked behind the scenes running the show and all other
things Soul Train), the growth of channels like BET, MTV, VH1 (back when the latter two still
showed plenty of music videos), and the introduction of the Video Jukebox (AKA The Box), the
show became less relevant especially when the artists prominently featured on Soul Train
through the years now had other avenues to feature their work.
This is around the same time period that Soul Train were using special guest hosts before they
settled on permanent hosts (three in the show's final nine years of original episodes).

Re: Retro: South Georgia UHFs Saturday, August 26, 1995
I think we once concluded it was either this one or the Montana edition.
I know there were 32 channels (33 if you count GPT as one channel) in
this particular issue. The problem was that Columbus, Macon, Albany, and
Tallahassee are fairly close together, and the spillover markets (Atlanta,
Savannah, Jacksonville, Dothan, Panama City) are close to the edition's
main marketing area, enough to have at least some of their stations included.
The rule was that if a station covered at least 15% of an edition's region it
was included.
Of course, that could go the other way with cable and "must-carry" rules;
it helped knock the Nashville ABC, NBC, and CBS affiliates out of the Northern
Alabama edition.

Hawaii Five-O was a late night staple almost everywhere, it seems.
I wonder if anyone will be bringing it back to complement the new
series premiering on CBS?

Hawaii Five-O was a late night staple almost everywhere, it seems.
In this case, it was part of "The CBS Late Movie" -- syndication did not begin until around 1981.
Shortly before that, however, CBS ran late night repeats of the series' final season, but under the
title "MacGarrett", to avoid confusion with the syndicated reruns.

my bad....it was part of that CBS Late Night (and I use the term loosely) Movie package.
Later it was a late-night staple for many years on KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh.

Notice the local stations "burying" their local one-shot public affairs programming on a friday
night of a holiday weekend? An old trick -- to satisfy the news department/public affairs director
with their desires for prime-time public affairs/documentary programming -- sure, we'll run it!
When no one's got the TV on... ;D
Then of course, later that Labor Day weekend as Sunday night/Monday morning rolled along
you'll have the Jerry Lewis/MDA telethon preempting more network programming. Did some of
those same stations listed above as preempting their regularly scheduled Friday night
programming (even if it was syndicated) also carry Jerry's telethon that year (back in the days
where it seemed like everyone on the Love Network carried the telethon in its entirety, as
opposed to many stations waiting until Labor Day morning to start their local coverage)?

The public TV skeds for the three states here are quite curious. WSJK (now branded "East
Tennessee PBS") was then licensed to the Tennessee state school board, and quite obviously,
didn't have enough money to run seven days a week. Ditto for North Carolina ETV (WUNE,
WUNF). But in South Carolina, we have a six-hour sked on Saturday of programs.
While all of this seems odd in this day of 24/7 even on PBS, we have to remember that
governments usually established public TV primarily as a means of transmitting educational
programming for classrooms, beginning in the 1950s. That meant that, for the most part, adult
programming was dependent on leftovers in a station's or network's budget allocation and thus
was largely centered around early prime time on weeknights, not on weekends when potential
viewers (typically better-educated, affluent Euro-Americans) were not at home. Well into the
early 1970s, some stations went off the air for the summer, at least in the daytime, as there was
no need to telecast in-school programming.
In fact, it was not unheard of for a station to sign off the air at, say, 2:30 p.m., after the ETV sked
had finished for the school day, and sign on again at perhaps 5 or 6 for a three-hour or so adult
lineup. It was only when Sesame Street and Mister Rogers took off in popularity among little kids
that NET/PBS affils and networks began filling in the late afternoon gap, perhaps out of concern
for the increasingly violent tone of cartoons and adult orientation of talk shows on commercial
outlets.
Some points to remember:
1) South Carolina apparently allocated a lot more money than North Carolina or Tennessee
toward ETV. Had that not been the case, SCETV would have gone dark on Saturday also.
2) North Carolina, according to Wikipedia, began its expansion rollout in 1965 and had five
stations up to that point. Interestingly, South Carolina had the exact same number of
transmitters for that state. It had reached half of the number of stations it would eventually start
up (through 1984). North Carolina had a somewhat longer way to go, with seven needed to
reach its current complement of 12. South Carolina had done a lot of its work already, and thus
likely had a little more money to spare. That, of course, depended on several other factors, of
course, but it didn't hurt. (This, of course, excepts the stand-alone WTVI in Charlotte, founded
shortly before the NC launch.)
3) In Tennessee, meanwhile, only one other state-operated ETV outlet was already on the air
(WLJT in western Tennessee; however, it duplicated the programs of WKNO in Memphis, which
aired a full seven days a week, surely). Tennessee was a patchwork case due to the fact that
Memphis and Nashville had developed their own stations without state assistance, years earlier.
The rest of the state had to catch up, and would not do so entirely until 1978, when WCTE began
for the Upper Cumberland area between Nashville and Knoxville. Unlike the Carolinas,
Tennessee chose not to build a statewide network, since it would have been impossible to get
the Memphis and Nashville stations (WKNO and WDCN, respectively) to abandon their
independence and local programming.
One question for bp: what were the skeds like for the weekdays and Sunday? What
stations/networks did the most (or least) for adults?

Many of us (at least, those who are game show geeks) know Blake best as the first host of the
USA Network's "Chain Reaction", which was taped in Canada, where Blake came from.

In addition, SCETV was also one of the most-ambitious educational networks in the country,
using a closed-circuit television network to broadcast additional educational channels to its
schools and universities.

They could've went on the air anyway on their own channels, to compete against WKNO and
WDCN (like what UNC-TV did in the Charlotte area, competing with WTVI), but they, for some
reason, opted not to do so.

Re: REtro: North Alabama (Birmingham and Huntsville) Sunday 9/1/96
WTTO/WDBB would eventually become the WB(later
CW) affiliate for the Birmingham Market.
8:00
10:35
I noticed no Birmingham stations had the telethon listed -- did they show it on Labor Day only?
According to the ad in the magazine, it was shown on ACN-the Alabama Cable Network, which
also included WOTM-LP in Birmingham.

Kind of funny that WBRC ch.6 would kiss off ABC after football instead of after The Beatles, then
later, show Mad TV as its first Fox program, while WTTO ch.21 still had the affiliation, showing
that same episode of Mad TV as its LAST Fox program 30 minutes after ch.6.
IIRC, channel 6 started calling themselves Fox 6 at the beginning of the 9:00 news.

Would MacGyver have counted towards the "Canadian Content" requirement for CFRN? The
show was shot in Vancouver for most of it's run.
Maybe if MacGyver wore a tuque and flannels, drank a lot of Labatt's, and incorporated a hockey
stick into every one of his improvised contraptions....

MacGyver did play hockey in a couple of episodes. Richard Dean Anderson headlined a
Hollywood celebrity all-star team that would play games for charity in various cities.
Alan Thicke and Michael J. Fox also played on that team at one time.

Re: Youngstown-Erie - Wednesday, June 1, 1977
Amazing that WKBN didn't carry either Search For
Tomorrow or As The World Turns. I keep wondering
how popular ATWT was/is in that part of the country;

KDKA used to pre-empt it in the '80s for its local
Pittsburgh 2Day, although as a CBS o&o they carry
it now.
5:00
5 AFTERSCHOOL SPECIAL
What normally aired in this slot?
Quite possibly The Afternoon Exchange..Afternoon News and Talk show that was companion to
"The Morning Exchange..I know Afternoon Exchange started in 1977 but not sure what date..

Yes, WKBN was a bit unique in that they ran TWO afternoon movies in lieu of the CBS soap
schedule
(one right after the noon news, the other was the very entertaining Money Movie that I've
written about
on various threads).
Interesting that KDKA is the only Pittsburgh station listed. WIIC/WPXI 11 had it's transmitter
north
of town, and I had been able to pick up their analog signal as far north as Crawford County, PA.
Coming the other way, 27 came in quite well at our house in Pittsburgh, and 21 passably so (at
least
until WPTT 22 went on-air locally and caused some interference issues). Could get minimal
reception of
33 and 45 with great difficulty.

8 WJW-TV (CBS)
This station's call letters changed to WJKW on April 22, 1977 because its now-former sister radio
station was sold sometime beforehand, so those call letters listed are incorrect. (The station
became WJW once again in 1985.)

Re: Retro: Carolina-Tennessee Sunday, August 31, 1969
Continuing the thread on the PBS stations in the market that I began when I commented on the
Saturday lineup, the question that sticks out in my mind is: why did WSJK even bother to sign on
the air at all on Sunday, just for two--well, not really lousy, since it featured the Boston
Symphony--hours??? Was it because the control room crew were union workers? Was it due to
the FCC requiring the station to operate a certain number of hours within, say, a 48-hour period?
At least in the Carolinas, the state network there knew people stayed home after church and
likely desired Sunday as a day of "improvement" in their lives--ETV might be viewed by some as a
means of penance for watching all that "sinful trash" the rest of the week.

UNC-TV affilate, WUNG-TV 58 Concord/Charlotte would also be broadcasting the UNC/PBS line-
up this night, wouldn't they? I think they took to the air in 1968. I suppose WTVI/42 still was not
broadcasting on Sundays in 1969, though I'm sure they were by 1970...

WUNG would have been broadcasting that night; all UNC-TV
stations, in fact, would have been on. I can't answer your
question about WTVI, since both stations were listed in the
North Carolina edition, not the Carolina-Tennessee one, and

I don't have a North Carolina one for this date. Also note the
absence of WNSC Rock Hill; it would be added to the Carolina-
Tennessee edition in the late '70s.

Continuing on my NET/PBS analysis in the Appalachian region, we have to remember that this
was the first Monday in September, and therefore Labor Day. That might explain why WSJK, for
the third straight day, cannot get out more than two hours of programming on the airwaves, and
from here, it looks like it might have been a mere 15 minutes. That is more than difficult for me
to comprehend--I suspect there is some other explanation, namely that the station didn't
provide TV Guide a full sked for the day because it didn't know exactly what it was going to have
on hand at publication time.
North Carolina had a split-day sked, with two hours around lunchtime and five hours in the early
evening. South Carolina had a solid seven-hour block. Since school was certainly not in session
on this day anywhere in the U.S., I find UNC-TV's practices on this day puzzling, since those
midday shows are obviously for adults, not children like one might expect.
I'm thinking most seriously, threatening even, to start a thread about NET/PBS scheduling in the
1960s and 1970s, and what was done in different parts of the country. That would be highly
interesting to me, so watch out.

Are we supposed to be scared? : Seriously, given
the wide range of differences in scheduling on individual
stations or statewide networks that would be interesting.
And you might start with what is now Alabama Public
Television, which got into trouble in the early '70s with
its anti-black program attitudes.

WKPT Kingsport had signed on the air on August 20th. I guess TV Guide waited to add them to
the line up.

Hard to believe Independent WCTU 36 Charlotte was even a station, with such a weak lineup.
Something tells me the station must have been run by 11 people with each doing 3 different
jobs......and the station manager cleaning the restrooms on Saturdays.
So Turner bought the station? Must have been a fire sale. Today, a low power college station
would have more people watching.

WTCG's predecessor was also pale before Turner purchased the station. The man knew what he
was doing.

So, does anybody know if Bill Norwood on the news is the same guy with the cartoon show?
That must have been so cheesy.

It's the same Bill Norwood. "Mr. Bill's Cartoons" included
news and community events with the cartoons and "Our
Gang" comedies; as I once said, it was the best place for
kids in the western Carolinas to go to find out if school was
closed because of snow.
As for WKPT, TV Guide was carrying its listings by October
1969, IIRC.

"Laurel and Hardy" was in color? I thought everything the duo did was only in black and white?
And especially since the film in question is from the 30s I just relay what TVG put in their listings,
must have been some intro in color maybe?
I'm suprised there weren't any CFL games on the schedule,I figured the Roughriders would have
been playing.
There were TV games on Labor Day...CTV (CKY, but not CKCK according to TVG) carried a Labor
Day doubleheader at 4:30 CDT between Toronto and Ottawa with the Battle of Alberta
(Edmonton-Calgary) following at 7 CST.
That second time reference should read CDT

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Tuesday, September 2, 1975
Chattanooga TV was full of pre-emptions on that Tuesday after Labor Day in 1975, with both the
NBC and CBS affiliates bumping the network that night for either a ball game or Billy Graham.
AM America had clearance trouble in many cities during its run, as witnessed by the ABC
affiliates in Chattanooga and Atlanta cutting the latter 30-60 minutes of it for some sort of local
program. In Channel 9 Chattanooga's case, it was a truncated version of what was, prior to 1975,
a 1-hr. local kiddie show that mixed cartoons with Romper Room-ish elements, because Marcia
Kling [Miss Marcia] and Funtime started out as a franchised Romper Room on WTVC in the early
'60s.
PBS affiliates that signed on at 4 pm back then were no surprise, although "instructional TV"
programming, which necessitated an earlier sign-on, wasn't ready to start until a week or two
later.
It was also no surprise that WRIP-61 had an afternoon sign-on, since they operated rather
cheaply and stocked their schedule back then with lots of cartoons and comedy shorts.

What this schedule does not show is an 11:30PM U.S. Open update on CBS. I think it ran 15
minutes. I know, because I have an 11PM newscast from that date, and the tape stops about
about two minutes into the U.S. Open update show.
This was also the night after the last episode of Gunsmoke ran.
Thanks for posting this, bpatrick!

Strange that TV Guide missed the U.S. Open highlights listings,
and I didn't even think about it. In fact, CBS didn't even have
all-afternoon coverage on Labor Day; Chs. 5 and 12 were carrying
the Jerry Lewis Telethon, while Ch. 13 had the regular CBS lineup.
As for the pre-emptions, it wasn't so uncommon for stations to
do that for Billy Graham or other specials; it's coming down to the
end of rerun season, people are enjoying the last few weeks of
being outdoors after coming home from work, and the new season
is still a week or two away. So with network viewing generally down,
it's as good a time as any to work in some pre-emptions. To put
this in perspective, in September 1970, in several cities whose baseball
teams were still in pennant races, the stations carrying those teams
(such as WGN) actually beat the networks.

I certainly remember this Saturday listing.
You'll note that the Reds at Phillies game was shown on Channels: 2, 5, and 4 who were the
Crosley stations in Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus, respectively. The Reds pounded
Philadelphia, 10-2 that afternoon.

I'm guessing that's "The Lawrence Welk Show" (still officially known as "The Dodge Dancing

Also, wasn't "Gunsmoke" on Saturday nights at that time?

Urban and Suburban and Good Ship Zion on WHIO lasted well into the 70s, as did the Reds
pregame show, Dugout Dope.

The "Midwestern Hayride" show that aired on WCPO-TV at 10:00 - 10:30 on Saturday night on
WCPO-TV, Channel 9, was a summer replacement program on the ABC-TV Network. I understand
it was on in the summers of 1958 and 1959.

It is "The Lawrence Welk Show"; at the time TV Guide listed it as DANCING PARTY--Welk
The Miss America Pageant was on CBS, pre-empting "Gunsmoke" that night.

With regards to the Miss America contest coverage. Unlike some news events which were live
across the country, this was only shown live to the eastern cities who were on Daylight Savings
Time and delayed video tape to the midwestern section of the country one hour later. As a
result, viewers who got the delayed coverage could tune to their 11 P.M. news to find out who
had won even though the coverage was still taking place in their area. In this specific case, it was
Mary Ann Mobley. Although selected in September, Miss America used the following calendar
year as the year of their rein.
Interesting to note that in these listings, WKRC-TV, Channel 12, the CBS affiliate in Cincinnati is
not listed as carrying the Miss America contest.

Also aired live in CDT markets (e.g.: Chicago, St. Louis). Summer 1958 was the first
DST season in which the nets provided the one-hour delayed feed to EST/CST areas.

Interesting that they were giving Canadian Football a shot. Picking up the CBC feed I presume.
I personally enjoy the CFL but they have never drawn flies on TV here in the States.

Early commercial television programs were simply staged, and the stations were experimenting
with programs of varying length from 5 minutes to 1 hour. Only a handful of stations were
licensed and operating with anything approaching a regular schedule; two fully licensed
commercial stations in New York and one (WPTZ channel 3) in Philadelphia, and experimental
stations in New York (DuMont's W2XWV on Channel 4), the Capital District (GE's WRGB channel
3), Chicago, and Los Angeles.

Re: Retro; New York City, Thursday, September 4, 1941
This day in history Sept. 4, 1941. For the first time, a New York City television owner complains to
his wife: "We get THREE channels and there's nothing on."

I see why it took TV awhile to take off.............with shows like that to choose from I'D RATHER
LISTEN TO RADIO.
looks like test patterns drew a 73 share in the pre-war era
Are you possibly referring to this early version of the famous NBC test pattern whose wedge
calibration dot positions would be modified in 1947:

or what was then called WCBW was using as of '41:

I see why it took TV awhile to take off.............with shows like that to choose from I'D RATHER
LISTEN TO RADIO.
I suspect the appliance stores weren't selling many TV sets.
Sales increased after newsman Mordecai Anastos told a weather bureau forecaster to, "...keep
fornicating the poultry!"

Re: Retro: DC/Baltimore/Delmarva Tues, Sept 8, 1987
Did WMAR typically pre-empt 'The Tonight Show' back then? Was it simplybecause Johnny
wasn't there that night?

Re: Retro: South Texas Thursday, September 8, 1977
7 PM Wacko Saturday Preview (CBS Saturday-morning preview with Soupy Sales, the
Sylvers, the Dwight Twilly Band, Darth Vader, Carol Burnett)

The art card slide promo for this program (full title: The Wacko Saturday Preview and Other
Good Stuff Special) is on the Television Production Music Museum website, thus:
http://tvmusicmuseum.com/documents/553.html
Apart from Marty Allen, Soupy Sales and Jim Backus (not to mention Lord Vader), can anyone
identify the others in that slide, and in what position?

WXIA and WEWS Cleveland got in hot water with the
FCC about airing More Real People in access time, since
Real People was still airing on NBC. The FCC decided this
qualified as off-network reruns, prohibited on top-50
market affiliates from 7 to 8 at the time, and forced them to
come up with replacements. (F. Lee Bailey's Lie Detector
was WXIA's choice; I don't know what was on WEWS.)

Was this a simulcast of CNN News and was also People Now a simulcast as well? I remember a
show called Freeman Reports which aired on TBS before I got cable.

No, Tic Tac Dough or Joker's Wild in Atlanta at the time? Did the two shows air in nearby
Chattanooga or Macon?
Did WSB bring them back the next season? I think they did.

And I saw where WXIA did not air the NBC Daytime WOF at the time. When did WXIA bring back
WOF from NBC?.
WXIA should've made room for WOF instead of that crappy Dr. Tom Cottle.
If we had the internet then, we could've saved many game shows from being missing from many
markets.

I am sorry, but I did not know that WATL had daytime WOF until I saw the listings. I think WXIA
did start to carry it later on.

I don't think Joker's Wild or Tic Tac Dough aired in
either Chattanooga or Macon at the time, but I've
forgotten. WSB did bring them back, airing them
from 10 to 11 in the morning.
About a year or so after this, Channel 11 did
put Wheel Of Fortune back on; it might have
been sooner. They moved Search For Tomorrow
to 10:30 AM and inserted an hour-long local show,
Noonday, from 12 to 1. They also carried Dream
House at 11:30 in 1983, by which time Wheel had
moved to 11 AM. So I know Wheel was back on
11 sometime in '83. 11 was also first to carry the
syndicated version; it's gone back and forth between
there and WAGA, but 11's had it since around 1996.

WSB Ch. 2 (ABC)
3 PM Baseball playoffs are scheduled Wed, Thu, Fri
Otherwise:
4 PM Eight Is Enough
5 PM M*A*S*H (2 episodes)
6 PM News
7 PM ABC News
Wednesday's scheduled game(Atlanta at St. Louis) was called off after 4 innings, and rescheduled
in prime time the next night. The rest of that series was eventually played at night, so
Wednesday was the only day when the afternoon schedule was pre-empted.(ABC had to do a bit
of schedule-juggling that week, as there were two postponed games in that playoff series.)

What was "So You Think You Got Troubles" besides ungrammatical? I think Dr Joyce Brothers was
involved? For that matter, what was "Romance Theatre" about? I don't really recall that one
either. Neither one lasted long, so can anyone fill us in? Anyone?
I don't remember much about either one but, IIRC, "So You Think
You've Got Troubles" had Jay Johnson and his puppet Squeaky dealing
with people's problems; I think "Romance Theatre" was one of those
five-part stories each week formats, similar to radio's "Aunt Jenny's True-Life
Stories," the '50s NBC show "Modern Romances," or the first year of
the soap "The Doctors" (1963-64).

I was glad to see that period where WTBS started shows at 5 minutes past the hour go away. Can
you imagine if it had caught on and half the stations today were doing it......what a mess? Then
another station would say let's start our shows at 10 minutes after, etc......or how about 3
minutes after?
What Bozo on Vodka came up with that bright idea?
Ted Turner, of course -- he did that so not only would its listings stick out in TV Guide, but also so
viewers could stay tuned to the station instead of changing the dial. Also, viewers tuning in to
WTBS wouldn't have to miss the start of the next program.

Re: Retro: West Virginia Sun, Sept 9, 1979
hmm.....why is WTRF-7 in Wheeling listed (whose transmitter I believe is actually located on the
Ohio
side of the river), but not WTOV-9 in Steubenville, OH, from where one can literally throw a rock
into
West Virginia?

WTRF (as well as WBOY and all the Ohio stations) was listed with the "cable" bullet ((|7|) in
WTRF's case), so they must have been cablecast in some areas covered by the edition (IIRC
Wheeling's home edition was Pittsburgh Metro?).

Eventually the cable bullet was dropped for WBOY, and WTRF
was taken out of that edition; it could be found in the Pittsburgh
and Wheeling/Steubenville editions, and maybe one or two others
(I'm thinking Youngstown/Erie). WTOV, AFAIK, was never listed in
the West Virginia edition.
Also, IIRC, it wasn't long after this that WTRF switched affiliation
to CBS, with WTOV getting NBC (early '80, I believe).
It may be interesting to note the changes that took place in that

edition over the years:
CHARLESTON/HUNTINGTON
WCHS: CBS to ABC
WVAH: Fox, started on Ch. 23, moved to Ch. 11
WOWK: ABC to CBS
BLUEFIELD/BECKLEY/OAK HILL
WVNS: Ch. 59, moved from Fox to CBS
WESTON/CLARKSBURG
WBOY eventually went back to being an NBC primary
COLUMBUS
WTVN is now WSYX
HAZARD
WKYH became WYMT and a CBS affiliate

Did a lot of West Coast ABC affiliates tape-delay Monday Night Baseball?

I was in Los Angeles on Monday night, July 25, 1977,
and the ABC Monday Night Baseball game was carried
on tape-delay on KABC. I don't remember who was
playing; I think the Yankees might have been one of
the teams.

A minor correction on the channel list: the channel 12 listed here was KHSL in Chico, (Northern
CA), not KCOY in Santa Maria(Southern CA), although both were(and maybe still are?) CBS
affiliates.
Re: Monday Night Baseball, I read on another board that some West Coast ABC affiliates did in
fact delay it in the '70s and '80s. In fact, by 1985, all of the West Coast affiliates aired the games
on a delay of at least one hour(starting at 6 PM Pacific), and sometimes 3 hours. ABC finally
dropped the tape delays for the 1986 season.

KEMO-20 ran Villa Allegre at 10a but that was only a half-hour show. There are no listings from
10:30 to noon. Did they go dark for 90 minutes?

Nope. June 27 was a Monday; fast forward to
the following Mondays: July 4, 11, 18, 25; August
1, 8, 15 (Elvis died on Tuesday the 16th, which is
the point from which I worked back to get the date
of Monday, July 25). But by coincidence, I was in
San Francisco on Wednesday, July 27, although I
didn't get to watch anything; had to catch a plane
to Dallas late that day.

My bad - once I saw your post and the thread title, I thought there might have been an error -
turns out, I didn't look at the months close enough...

I guess KQEC 32 was Dark for most of the day,that must have been why the FCC took it away
from KQED.Good to see, ill post it on the Cal Tv board
I guess KQEC 32 was Dark for most of the day,that must have been why the FCC took it away
from KQED.
...not necessarily. KTCI/17 Minneapolis-St. Paul was mainly used to transmit weather reports
when I lived in the market in '86; I suspect KQEC could have been used for the same thing (using
the same graphics system that WSNS/44 Chicago had when they signed on as an all-news TV
station in 1970) when not airing standard-formatted programming...
That was for taking the station dark for months and years on end without an acceptable reason.
There was also question to the reason given. KQED fought to keep the license of KQEC until 1991
when they gave up.
Being off the air for during the daytime was common for many PBS stations prior to 1980
especially. In fact prior to 1955, most TV stations didn't sign on until 3-4 PM.
They didn't lose their license for being off the air during the day.

I recall as late as 1988 ABC monday Night baseball was delayed ,even for the SF Giants, KFSN 30
in Fresno started at 8 PM a one hour delay, but KBAK Bakersfield carried at 7 PM. I live in Fresno
and could get KBAK 29, even today. i had and still have a good antenna, I m sure KGO 7, KOVR 13
and KNTV 11 ran the Giants live back then. KFSN thought Jeopardy and Wheel were more
important.

As long as they meet the 90 minutes a day minimum, their license was still good.
Prior to the 1980s, many PBS stations had daytime service during the week for in-school
instructional programming -- when school is not in session, they would often not begin
broadcast until later in the afternoon. In fact, some stations would remain off the air when
school is not in session, such as on weekends or even during winter and summer breaks, for
weeks on end. Tampa Bay's WUSF was one of these channels -- they would not broadcast on
weekends, holidays or during the summer until around 1974 or 1975, when they began a year-
round, 7-day schedule. It's competitor, WEDU, started seven-day programming in the early-
1970s, though it wasn't until around 1979 when that station began all-day programming on
weekdays when there was no school.

According to Wikipedia KQEC was taken away because it was almost completely dark from 1972
to 1977 and again in 1980

I remember that after Jim Gabbert acquired TV 20, Villa Allegre continued to air for about a year
at 6:30am. Maybe the station was obligated to continue airing it regardless of ownership? I
always thought that Villa Allegre didn't blend in with the old tv programming that Gabbert was
showing?

What happened on ch. 44 at 1:30? The "Hillbillies" can't have been 1 hour?
Unless they showed two episodes? But then, maybe it was a TV Guide typo?
BTW, What do you know? KPIX actually cleared the daytime TPIR.
Not for long. in '78, Kathyrn Crosby's 30 minute show was replaced by local talk show People Are
Talking, which was 60 minutes long, and ran until 1990 or so. TPIR was shifted to either KBHK 44
or maybe TV20 (KEMO, KTZO, KOFY)...can't remember.
At the time, KPIX was owned by Westinghouse (this is way before Westinghouse bought CBS),
and seemed to delight in making CBS angry. KPIX was also famous for preempting network
movies they found to be to have objectionable content, usually violence. The network TV
premiere of Death Wish (Charles Bronson) was one of the films KPIX refused to run.
I t was KTZO/KOFY that aired The Price Is Right when KPIX had no room for it. 20 also carried
$25K Pyramid ,Press Your Luck and Card Sharks-Eubanks from CBS and also Classic Concentration
from NBC when KRON-TV did not clear it. I had to watch CC on 20 because in Sacramento KQCA
MY 58 when it was KSCH-TV ,had it at 5:30 after Wordplay from NBC when KCRA had no room
for the two or the Bill Rafferty Blockbusters. Then when 58 added Gilligan and Jeannie to the
lineup, the NBC games moved to midday opposite newscasts on network outlets and reruns on
KTXL and KMAX-TV (then KRBK-TV).
THen when Wordplay was canned 58 dropped CC and I still had to watch 20 for the show. In
March 1989 KCRA aired the show ,and I thought they were going to add it then, but no they
went for the ill-fated soap Generations the next day. I raised hell at KCRA for not carrying CC and
finally they caved in and carried it starting the day after Labor day 1989.
NBC ...and CBS and ABC too should have penalized the hell out of affiliates for not carrying
intelligent game shows. But , for NBC, many affiliates have had to put up with the ups and downs
of NBC Daytime thru the years. The loss of the original Let's Make A Deal to ABC at Christmas
1968, cancellations of the original versions of Concentration, $ale Of The Century and Jeopardy!
by daytime head Lin Bolin (some good things came out of her reign, Alex Trebek, Chuck Woolery
and Wheel Of Fortune), persistent third palce ratings for years, including during Fred Silverman's
reign, and now all that's left of NBC Daytime is a Supersized Today Show and Days Of Our Lives,
CBS will have just TPIR, The Young & The Restless and The Bold & The Beautiful plus The Early
Show after as The World Turns leaves the air, ABC will have GMA and all it's soaps.
I wish NBC would revive Concentration.

ABC will still have "The View," and CBS (AFAIK) will still have
"Let's Make A Deal" and whatever replaces "As The World Turns."

It's hard to believe a big-city station would block Death Wish. It's not as though SF is in the Corn
Belt or Bible Belt. If they'd taken a moral stand on all the shows with violence or salty language,
what would they have shown during prime time? Romper Room? (BTW, 44 carried a few shows
from NBC & CBS in the '70s & '80s, but TPIR wasn't one of them.)

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Saturday, September 9, 1972
I was never a MISSION IMPOSSIBLE fan (CBS 10PM). Oh happy day, the night CAROL BURNETTE
took over that time slot. Finally something entertaining to watch.
Her shows are looking better and better with each passing year. Someday variety shows like hers
will make a comeback. They were almost as abundant in the 70's as reality shows are today.

It should also be noted, since you mentioned Carol Burnett, that the 1972-73 season of The
Carol Burnett Show - its sixth - was the first to owned totally by her outright. (The first five
seasons of The Carol Burnett Show were and are co-owned by her and producer/packager Bob
Banner, per the terms of her ten-year CBS contract signed in 1962 and running through '72. The
original production companies for TCBS were Burngood Inc. and Bob Banner Associates; this and
the next three seasons were produced by Punkin Inc.; and the last two seasons [1976-78] were
by Whacko Inc. The rights issues relating to those first five seasons are why the earliest sketches
as seen on the half-hour syndicated Carol Burnett and Friends came from the 1972-73 season -
and from my memory, its being first made available to local TV stations in 1977-78 explains why
the final season which saw Dick Van Dyke as an unsuccessful replacement for Harvey Korman
was not included in the package.)
As for Mission: Impossible - I think it is generally agreed on amongst most M:I fans that the show
officially "jumped the shark" once Martin Landau and Barbara Bain left the show, and Paramount
Television all but usurped show creator Bruce Geller (and, by 1970, effectively forced him out).

I guess he was running around the set like an idiot. WOW, 30 minutes of total insanity. Who
should we get for the debut show? How about the wacky and talented Danny Bonaduce?

"10 AM Roman Holidays (DEBUT, "All In The Family" set in
Tuesday at 7:30.)
10:30 The Barkleys (DEBUT, a family of middle-class dogs)"
Actually it was "The Barkleys" that was the "All in the Family" ripoff. "Roman Holidays" was done
in the manner of "The Flintstones" as a matter of changing a setting----in this case, Ancient
Rome, with sundial watches & Roman numerals everywhere.

to look at what Danny's doing...

I believe you're right. I was thinking about a time when I was a senior in high school in
Birmingham, where "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home" wasn't aired; I'd been to Athens, GA and
seen "Wait Till...", which aired on a station from Greenville, SC on cable just before "All In The
Family," mentioned it to some friends, and they thought I was talking about "Roman Holidays."
The main character on "The Barkleys" was named Arnie Barkley, an obvious play on Archie
Bunker. Thanks for the correction.

To be exact, the Newscast was called "CBS Television News" according to an early Cleveland area
TV/Entertainment Magazine called "Televue"..I have a cover to an March 19, 1949 issue of
Douglas Edwards in the CBS Newsroom..WEWS-TV 5 carried CBS News Mon-Fri at 7:30

This is much better than the 1941 offerings were. What a difference 7 years made in NYC. I'm
going out to buy my 13" black and white Philco TV right now!!!

Re: Retro: WRFT January 16-22, 1971
Since at the time of these listings Roanoke had their own ABC, could this mean that Roanoke at
the time had the "honor" of being the smallest city in the US with THREE network affiliate
stations all within the same city?
In 1971 Roanoke had a city population of around 92,000 ( Wikipedia ), not exactly a "small town"
but still for a city of that size at the time to sport three network affiliates of their own..that was
unusual. Today its hardly a big deal.

Binghamton had 64,123 people in 1970 and had three affiliates (WNBF-12-CBS, WBJA-34-ABC,
WINR-40-NBC). Yes, it was part of a somewhat larger metro area (Vestal, Endicott, Johnson City,
etc.), but so was Roanoke.
Better yet - Bangor, Maine, with 33,168 people in 1970 and three affils (WLBZ-2-NBC, WABI-5-
CBS, WEMT-7-ABC).
Terre Haute (~60,000) got its third network affiliate in 1973.
Yuma would certainly count (it had all three affiliates very briefly, from 1967-71), except that one
of those affiliates was actually in El Centro.
Sioux City's in the running there, too...

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Monday, September 13, 1971
Wasn't this about the time VIDEO TAPE MACHINES were invented? I remember when WRBL TV 3
in Columbus Georgia got their first one. It was a big thing. They even had a local "special"
showing off their machine.
They didn't want the FCC telling a big ole southrn' station what it had to do (they were rebels -
RBL) so they began taping shows like "Mary Tyler Moore" and "Newhart" and showing them at
7:30 Monday thru Friday........they must have filled the network time with syndicated shows such
as "Lawrence Welk" or something similar.
Around that same time they left CBS (on Friday nights I think) to show a movie. They had a cool
opening for their movies. It featured a night view from the cockpit window of a small plane
landing at the airport (with all the colorful runway lights blinking and such). Sometimes it took
that plane two minutes to land.

Wasn't this about the time VIDEO TAPE MACHINES were invented?
More like 1956, when VTRs started to be used by networks and stations. 11/30/56 is a
benchmark date, as that is when CBS TV City first used tape (instead of a kinnie) to
delay Douglas Edwards' newscast for the left coast.

They didn't want the FCC telling a big ole southrn' station what it had to do...so they began
taping shows like "Mary Tyler Moore" and "Newhart" and showing them at 7:30 Monday thru
Friday........they must have filled the network time with syndicated shows such as "Lawrence
Welk" or something similar.
The FCC had--and has--no say in when an affil clears a network show. It's between the
station and its network as to approval of the delayed clearance. But Florence Welk was
a conspirator in some Saturday night shows airing out of pattern. KOLD-TV Tucson (CBS)
was one such perp in the '70s.

I think I meant VIDEO TAPE RECORDERS. It's hard to remember 40 years ago I was only a tween
then.
But, as I recall WRBL was upset that the networks were forced to give up their 7:30 PM shows
and start at 8:00.

Certainly. WAGA had the Bud Carson show on Mondays;
"I Dream Of Jeannie" Wednesday-Saturday; "TV5 Reports"
Tuesdays at 10:30; "Police Surgeon" Sundays at 10:30;
news every night at 7.
WXIA ran "To Tell The Truth" Mondays, then Wednesday-
Saturday at 7:30; Lawrence Welk Saturdays 6:30-7:30;
movies Sundays 6-8; and (IIRC) "This Is Your Life" Mondays
at 8:30. "What's My Line?" was on Monday-Friday at 7.
WSB was the only one to "checkerboard" (a different show
every night) 7:30: "Let's Make A Deal" Mondays, "Primus"
Wednesdays, "Truth Or Consequences" Thursdays, "High
Chaparral" Fridays; "Hee Haw" (7-8 PM) Saturdays, and
"Big Valley" (6:30-7:30) Sundays. They ran "The Golddiggers"
Tuesdays at 10:30, "The D.A." Fridays at 10:30 (delay from
8 PM), and "Young Dr. Kildare" Sundays at 10:30. NBC News
aired Monday-Friday at 7.
I should also clarify a point: ABC ran "Nanny And The Professor"
Mondays at 8; 8:30 was given to the affiliates (many in NFL cities
ran coaches' shows; I remember one in New Orleans called "From

The Pressbox"), then "Monday Night Football" was on at 9.
Also, IIRC, WTVR Richmond spread out CBS's Saturday-night lineup
over the week at 7:30.

This was the day, BTW, that "The Lone Ranger" made its TV

Except for one season when John Hart (father of Buddy Hart,
who played one of the kids on "Leave It To Beaver") replaced
Clayton Moore in a contract dispute, Moore played the role all
the way; Jay Silverheels was Tonto all the way.

According to Wikipedia, the Canadian Communications Foundation, and this earlier Radio-Info
retro thread from July, CKND went on the air August 31, starting with Jerry Lewis' telethon.
You're right...that should have read 31st
Ahhh, Shamrock Television... fond memories from when CKOS was carried on Cable Regina
channel 11.
It's interesting to compare CFQC and CKCK... the Saskatoon station has local news and a couple
of other local programs, not bad for a Sunday. There is nothing local on CKCK's schedule that
day... I believe it was a year later, in 1976, when TelePulse News was rebranded as Channel 2
Newservice and expanded to seven days a week.
After STV launched in the Queen City, CKOS would move to Cable Regina channel 18- when was
it finally dropped from cable in Regina??

Re: Retro: New York City, Thursday, September 15, 1949 (Complete)
Just noting there was no Channel 9 - WOR - back then.

I wonder if the Bob Murphy shown on "RFD America" at 8 P.M. on Channel 4 is the same person
who later did the Mets games on TV and radio?

"I wonder if the Bob Murphy shown on "RFD America" at 8 P.M. on Channel 4 is the same person

I wondered that too...but it doesn't appear so. The long-time voice of the Mets we all fondly
remember was just getting his start in calling minor league games in the Southwest in the late
1940s, working his way up to the big leagues by 1962, when the Mets played their first game.
The Bob Murphy of RFD America (which according to imdb.com was an instructional show about
farming) seems to be a different man. The Bob Murphy who called the first 40 years of Mets
games was a lifetime sportscaster...

It should be noted that Eve Young who was a guest on The Morey Amsterdam Show on Channel
5 that evening in 1949 later became known as Karen Chandler - and as such, had a hit in 1952
with "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me" (the same number that became a hit for Mel Carter in 1965).
Two of the main people involved with Stop the Music - host Bert Parks and musical director
Harry Salter - were later involved in those same respective capacities on the early 1960's ABC
game show Yours for a Song. And I presume Jim Fleming who anchored the 10:35 P.M. news on
Channel 4 was one and the same as the original news anchor on the Today show when it was
first launched in 1952. (And wouldn't a certain Mr. Tex Antoine have already done the weather
that preceded same, at this point?)
It also would have been around this period that WPIX premiered a test pattern (click here for a
recreation) that would be in use through the late 1970's - and also in use everywhere from Cuba
(pre-Castro) to Billings, MT (KGHL-TV before it became KULR), Florence, SC (WWBT), and, by the
mid-'50's, even WATV across the river.

5-Morey Amsterdam Show; Jerry Bergen, Mavis Mims, Eve Young, guests
Just 3 months later, Morey Amsterdam would play a large part in the opening and dedication of
major DuMont affiliate WXEL-9, Cleveland..as evidenced in this set of photographs from
December, 1949, which I made into a limited edition blog..Interesting how a new TV station
cultivated relationships with employees, Networks and sponsors in that era..

WBRC carried only the first hour of GMA throughout most of the '80's. It wasn't until the late
70's or early 80's that they carried even the first hour.

He's correct; ABC's "World News This Morning" aired
at 6:30, followed by "GMA" at 7 (Ch. 6 wasn't about
to cut "Country Boy Eddy"). And there is a lot of
out-of-pattern scheduling here; Ch. 6 pre-empted
whatever ABC ran from 10 to 11 (CT), and I don't
remember what it was, so many shows came and
went before "The View" came along; they also pre-empted
"Loving" (11:30 CT), and they always ran "All My Children"
(12 CT) on delay; in fact, the current ABC outlet, WCFT/

WJSU, is the one that finally put "AMC" in pattern in
Birmingham; nowadays the whole ABC daytime lineup airs
in pattern there.
And just for the record, Birmingham is a morning market
for "Let's Make A Deal" (9 AM); WIAT runs Wendy Williams
at 2 (CT).

321 was indeed a half-hour show. Theiy either had double episodes, or 321 was followed by
unlisted ITV programming.

It was, though I have no idea what followed, as ITV was likely over for the day at that point.Edited by rugrats1 on 09/11/05 10:26 PM.

...WFRV-TV/5 and satellite WJMN-TV/3 Escanaba had been using the "Eyewitness News" title
since around 1973. Prior to that, they had used the somewhat cumbersome "Report to
Wisconsin & Upper Michigan"...______________

case of long movies, it ran over two days. And "Dialing for Dollars" was included

11 had tried to get a noon show going; it hired Chicago DJ Larry The Legend Johnson, then a local

In that year, 11 was just "11 News" and was calling itself "The News Station." It had opened

Also noteable that they delayed (the future) Nightline for a half-hour. Green Bay stations always
have. With one exception - when ABC started the 20-minute Nightlne, 11 did a half-hour of news
at 10, Koppel at 10:30 and came back with a 10 minute wrapup (mostly biz news and late sports
scores) at 10:50.

...as I recall, WFRV was a late comer to the Snyder show; as late as '75, I can recall watching "Rod
Serling's Night Gallery" and "Star Trek" after Carson's sign-off on Channel 5. And I don't think
they ever carried David Letterman's NBC late night show; it cranked up around the time WFRV
was going to trade networks with WLUK again (ABC was on 5 and NBC on 11 when both stations
started up in the '50s), and WFRV probably looked at the ratings for Letterman's morning show
and said the hell with it, plugging in "Star Trek" reruns again...

...no way; Johnson had quit for WZUU Radio in Milwaukee by the end of '75, and I think Wandtke
had quit to raise her kids a couple of years after that...

WFRV-5 & WLUK-11 switched in the Spring of 1983. Both were preempting quite a bit of network
stuff during the two years prior. Ch. 5 ran a movie each week in place of SNL and passed on Late
Night. Plus FRV didn't clear 2-3 hours worth of daytime shows, but they were picked up by
WLRE-26. In fact if 26 hadn't carried SNL during '82-'83, northeastern WI would have missed the
entire Eddie Murphy-Joe Piscopo era when it was funny. (They would have needed a good
antenna to pull in WTMJ in Milwaukee because, unfortunately for them, LRE passed on
Letterman as well.) I can also recall LUK preempting Fridays & AB, but 26 snapped up neither.
When 5 became ABC they cleared Bandstand, and as NBC 11 ran SNL but not Letterman right
away. As if living in Green Bay back then wasn't sucky enough because of the lowly Packers. Oh,
and the weather.

This especially goes double for the Central UP, which was served by WJMN channel 3; when
WFRV / WJMN was an NBC affiliate in that same era, it meant no SNL OR Letterman -- and it's a
long way from Marquettte to the other nearest NBC affiliates in Traverse City, Rhinelander and
Duluth.
I know then-WAEO12 in Rhinelander didn't clear Letterman for the first couple of years. I think
that station is run by a hamster in a wheel.

Where were all the asinine "court" shows and the bloated, idiotic "news" shows during the day?
Where was "I banged everyone within five trailer parks, who my babydaddy?" Where did it all go
so horribly, horribly wrong? (BTW. Small claims court is NOTHING LIKE THAT!)

Don't you know that the court and "trash talk" shows
didn't start taking over daytime until the '80s? In
the '70s it was still soaps, games, and (with the exception
of Phil Donahue), celebrity-oriented talk shows. I miss those
days.
BTW, I noticed the Lee Phillip show on WBBM. For those who
don't know, she was married to Bill Bell; the two of them created
what--come this Friday--will be the last two soaps left on CBS:
"The Young And The Restless" and "The Bold And The Beautiful".

I think the James Garner show on ABC late night was part of the "Wide World Of Entertainment"
series that included "In Concert", "Goodnight America" with Geraldo Rivera, and lots of specials
like the Garner special and retrospectives on "What's My Line?" and "Candid Camera".
Also, this must have been near the end of the line for "The Ann Colone Show" on Channel 15 in
Fort Wayne. It was similar to shows like Bob Braun's in Cincinnati, with lots of audience
participation, and some occasional visits from CBS stars.

The Garner special did air on "Wide World" (notice the time).
IIRC, at the time ABC was still airing Dick Cavett one week
out of the month, Jack Paar one week, and the other two
devoted to "Wide World Specials," "Wide World Mysteries,"
and "In Concert."

IIRC, the first Monday-night football game of the season
aired the following Monday; September 17 was my first
night living in a college dorm and I could hear the game
from the TV room down the hall. Remember that at the
time the season was only 14 games.

I'm pretty sure the 10 PM Saturday airtime for Lawrence
Welk on WGHP was a one-shot; his usual airtime was 7 PM
Saturdays, and "Fantasy Island" was on at 10.
WDBJ would move Welk to Saturdays at 5 the next year,
stripping "PM Magazine" at 7 and "M*A*S*H" at 7:30 (they
ran "Hee Haw" Saturdays at 7).

There was a college football game at 6 on the previous Sat, which should explain Welk airing at
10 on WGHP...was 3pm the usual airtime in Raleigh or was the football game affecting that
airtime as well?

It's close enough, as Welk usually aired around 3:30 or 4
in Raleigh.

A few years ago some poster on the DCRTV website made a claim about being on WDBJ's PM
Magazine only to get a number of rather nasty replies from current WDBJ staff ( and a few from
WSLS ) claiming that WDBJ had NEVER aired PM Magazine. One went as far as saying "..WDBJ
had always aired such programming as Mornin...but never PM Magazine as our market was too
small for that kind of programming..". Kinda reminds me of that post from a "former employee"
of Richmond's WXEX claiming that WXEX/WRIC had never used the "Eyewitness News" brand
even though there are clips on You Tube that prove otherwise.
One would think that employees of TV stations would know at least some history of their
employer.

In Virginia, PM Magazine was carried on WTAR (WTKR) Norfolk,
WDBJ, and WXEX (WRIC). You can check the Central Virginia
edition of TV Guide from September 1979 on, or you can check
either the Roanoke or Greensboro newspapers from the same period
to see that PM Magazine did indeed air on WDBJ.
Kind of reminds me of an employee at WGHP who insisted that the
station carried "To Tell The Truth" for years, when actually it was
only one year (1971-72) before it settled in for a six-year run on
WXII. The long-running show on WGHP was "Truth Or Consequences"
(1969-76).

The Richmond/WXEX version of PM Magazine is actually quite famous as back in the early 80's
one of their hosts was none other than future Today show host Matt Laurer. But like so much
"history" true as it was, post this online and chances are somebody from WRIC would reply back
with "..that's BS my friend..pure BS !!" Even if one attaches and old WXEX PM Magazine ad with
Matt Laurer.
I think what it is, is well the Roanoke, Lynchburg, Charlottesville, Richmond stations ( somewhat
true with Hampton Roads )is that they hire so many young people to work there whether its
behind the scenes or in front of the camera so therefor they have different "visions and
opinions" of their stations and markets than us who are in the "older" generation who DO
remember.
And its not just Virginia but West Virginia too. Wanna see some "interesting" replies?...mention
the long defunct WOWK's "Chopper 13" on a site like TV Newstalk and wait for WOWK's
reaction.

If tangible proof that something did happen exists and we actually show the proof to the
naysayers, why are they still so stubborn not to believe it?
These days, thanks to Google, images from original newspapers and magazines are more widely
available than ever -- yet, there are some who would rather rewrite history than taking it as it is.
Yesterday, when you tell someone an amazing fact that they refused to believe, you show them
the proof, and it'll shut them up and make them believers. Today, show the same proof and
they'll still refuse to believe.
I guess in the modern era of Photoshop and digital printing, just about anything can be faked,
leading to more and more people being die-hard skeptics, unable to discern a fake TV Guide ad
from the real McCoy; therefore, some refusing to believe that Matt Lauer hosted PM Magazine.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Monday, October 16, 1972
I lived in Chattanooga during Oct 1972, so I might have some recollection of who did the news
back then.
Roy Morris and Don Wick anchored the 6:00 news on Channel 3, while Tom Willette and Bill
McAfee [who went on to become a Tennessee state legislator] worked on Channel 9.
Also, Channel 11 in Atlanta was showing the Wally Bruner-hosted What's My Line? syndicated
episodes instead of the ones w. Larry Blyden because that station, along with a few others, was a
year behind, due to the "bicycling" of the tapes [because they didn't have day-and-date satellite
distribution back then].
I'm not sure about the high school football show Ch. 61 in Chattanooga presented. I'm thinking
that it could have either been a highlight reel, a studio-based discussion show with coaches, or a
combination thereof.
The half-hour country music shows that Ch. 9 in Chattanooga aired weekday mornings at 7 am--
less than 3 years before ABC began programming that hour--were a "checkerboard" of weekly,
yet regionally-syndicated, shows that were several years old, going back to about the late 1960's.
The CMA Awards a 1-hr. show at 10 pm back then? I guess they weren't yet ready for 8 pm,
much less the full 3-hr. treatment they'd get a decade or so later, but if I recall, Kraft, whose
commercials featured their famed spokesman Ed Herlihy giving viewers some of Kraft's "good
food ideas", was the CMA Awards' sole sponsor.

Just as memorable for any Kraft-sponsored special was three pages of recipes in that week's TV
Guide, which Ed would proudly mention in Kraft's commercials.

I find it hard to believe (unless there were other Atlanta channels not listed in this post) that
Jeopardy! didn't air in the Atlanta market. I'd have thought WSB would have found room for it
SOMEWHERE..

As I recall from previous posts, WTCG carried the Art Fleming Jeopardy! for several years around
the turn of the decade, along with a few other shows off the NBC feed that WSB pre-empted.
WSB had for years pre-empted the Noon-2 p.m. time slots, running 90-minute (or longer) movies
after the Noon news, back in the 1960s.
Make no mistake, Jeopardy! was daytime's second-highest-rated game in the early 1970s
(behind Hollywood Squares), but its popularity apparently wasn't even throughout the country. I
would suspect it was most popular in the largest markets, especially along the East Coast (that
fact alone drove its ratings high). By contrast, Southern and Midwestern markets probably only
saw it draw average ratings, because of the lower educational achievements of many of its
residents. The show was distinguished then, much as now, by its difficulty to play along with at
home, particularly "answers" about subjects removed from everyday common experience. This
trait, while earning it the affection of the college and professional crowd who watched it on bar
and restaurant sets on their lunch breaks, did not endear it to housewives looking for an escape
from the drudgery of their chores.
Atlanta is a strange case, however, since it had then, much as now, an unusually high number of
professionals and educated types. WTCG certainly saw what WSB had been missing in its reading
of the situation, and decided to step in. But Ted Turner had greater ambitions for his station, of
course, than to serve as an alternate station for pre-empted network shows, and he opted to
emphasize syndie offerings in daytime by 1972 and would never return (except on occasion, and
that in primetime) to network feeds again.
One has to remember that, compared to other daytime games running at the time, Jeopardy!
was among TV's lowest-paying games ($10-50 in the first round, $20-100 in Double Jeopardy!),
its set was very 1960-ish compared to the likes of The Joker's Wild and Password, and Art
Fleming wasn't exactly considered a matinee idol. So its appeal was not so obvious to some
(mainly younger) station managers, and these things motivated NBC daytime head Lin Bolen to
begin wearing the game down in 1973.
WSB would bring Jeopardy! back briefly in 1974, when the show spent six months at 10:30 a.m.
But upon its move to the "graveyard" slot of 1:30, it ended for good. I have no idea if WSB
carried the 1978-79 revival (maybe bpatrick can post some late 1978 listings in the future).

WSB carried the 1978 version of "Jeopardy!" when it aired
at 10:30 AM. When it tanked, and NBC moved it to its old
noon slot, it was off WSB's schedule again. WSB has never
carried the Trebek "Jeopardy!"; it has moved around among
WAGA, WXIA, and WATL. When I was at UGA, we could get
"Jeopardy!" at noon on WFBC (now WYFF) Greenville, SC
(they pre-empted "Who, What Or Where," however), but I
don't recall a large viewership. However, WSPA carried "Young
And The Restless" when WAGA didn't, and did quite well in
Athens with it.
I also suspect Ch. 61's high-school football show was an
edited replay; I'm not sure it was a coaches' show.
As for "What's My Line?" Ch. 11 dropped it in January 1974 and
replaced it with the Jack Narz version of "Concentration. WAGA
picked up the last year of "WML" at 1 PM. It was always a bit
strange in the days of bicycling; you could watch a game show
with two different hosts; in Birmingham, we were getting Bruner's
shows, but when we moved to Tampa in the summer of '73 we
got Blyden's.

Of course, when WTCG carried other networks' programming passed on by the other stations,
they would often toot their horn. In the book "Citizen Turner", it mentioned that Ted Turner
would announce on his billboards that WTCG had "joined the NBC Television Network", after
picking up five NBC shows that WSB passed over, including "Jeopardy". The folks at WSB and
NBC weren't pleased with those billboards, however.

In an old Michigan State "TV Guide", I noticed the same thing with "It's Your Bet" on Lansing's
WILX -- a TVG ad from WILX in late 1972 (after the opening of WKAR on its own channel) proudly
said that Lyle Waggoner was host of the show, though the TVG descriptions for that week all
featured episodes hosted by Hal March -- who died in 1970.

Those billboards announcing that Channel 17 had
moved to NBC had to come down; either WSB or
NBC or both threatened a lawsuit. Later, though,
Turner tried to get the ABC affiliation away from
WXIA, but ABC wasn't interested in moving to a
UHF. ABC ended up finding a willing station in
WSB.

That Ted Turner, what a slick one he was....One of my favorite stunts he did was nicknaming
Andy Messersmith "Channel" and giving him the jersey # of 17....Hey, free advertising!

I read that one time, Turner tried replacing Messersmith's last name on the back of his uniform
with either "Superstation" or "Channel" (don't know which) -- Major League Baseball told Ted to
knock it off.
Yep, he replaced "Messersmith" with "Channel" and slapped the #17 on his jersey, so it read
"Channel 17" on the back. Yeah, like you said, MLB nixed that one fairly quickly.

Re the CMA awards show: it was first carried on ABC
in the 1960s as an annual event on Jimmy Dean's
1963-66 show, so it got only one hour even then.
Maybe somebody else knows when it began to get
evening-long coverage; certainly it reflected the growing
popularity of country music in the '70s and beyond.
And not only were those Kraft features in TV Guide
taste-tempting, but Ed Herlihy could make you salivate
with hunger. Only two other people have been able to
do that to me: Justin Wilson with his Cajun-cooking shows
on PBS, and Andy Griffith when he did commercials for
Ritz Crackers ("good cracker...goooood cracker").
Off-topic but on, too: When we lived in Dallas, my dad
attended some sort of food brokers' convention in Fort
Worth, and Ed McMahon was there. Big Ed was chewing
the Kraft people out for not including his picture in their
display, launching into a tirade about how much he'd done
for Kraft. Well, it's true that he emceed many episodes of

"Kraft Music Hall" (along with Eddy Arnold and Alan King)
in the 1967-71 period, but for some of us with long memories,
Ed Herlihy will always be associated with Kraft; Ed McMahon,
with Budweiser.

I should make a correction concerning the 1971 listings; I believe
WAGA's Sunday 10:30 show was "Monty Nash," a short-lived cop
show with Harry Guardino. "Police Surgeon" was then known as
"Dr. Simon Locke" and aired Saturday afternoons on Ch. 11. However,
Ch. 5 did some major rearranging of its schedule in the course of the
1972-73 season: "Police Surgeon" was picked up for Sun 10:30, "TV5
Reports" moved to Monday 7:30, "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home" to
Saturday 7:30, "The Price Is Right" to Thursday 7:30, "Circus!" to Friday
7:30, "Hollywood Squares" to Tuesday 7:30, and "Superstars Of Rock"
was added Wednesday at 7:30. Got all that? No? Here it is:

Re: Retro:Miami, Monday, December 2, 1985-Commercial Stations
As one who has lived near Miami, it was odd that in the case of both 4 (CBS) & 7 (NBC), they
carried a network game show at 10am, broke for a syndie program at 10:30, and returned to the
network at 11!
Can't recall what the 10:30 NBC show was, but possibly the CBS one was "Press Your Luck,"
which 4 never aired....ironically, when PYL went into reruns, 7 ran it! Possibly at that same time
of day, too!

I believe it was December of '88 when WTVK moved to 8 and became WKXT with the

channel for WATE-TV.

Re: Retro: Maine Fri, Sept 20, 1985
I remember this lineup like it was yesterday, since I lived in Old Orchard Beach, ME from 1985 to
1987. We used to get the New Hampshire Edition of TV Guide, since we were in York County. I
used to watch WCSH's NewsCenter 6 all the time. I found it odd that WCSH would frequently
preempt the NBC SportsWorld package nearly every weekend. My programming choices back
then were limited since I didn't have cable and it would be another year before WPXT-TV
channel 51 would sign on (as an independent, then FOX, then WB and now CW). I should also
mention that the following Friday evening is when the remnants of Hurricane Gloria came
through the area, knocking out my power. I was ticked because I wanted to see the season
premiere of Miami Vice that night.

Now the Whistler theme is running through my head! As far as "Silent Service", I think that's the
show Bob Newhart references in his bit about the submarine USS Codfish, where the skipper is
addressing the crew as they are about to hit port..."Come on, men, let's let bygones be bygones
and hear it for the cooks!"

A big part of the reason why Ch. 5 in Cincinnati showed the Pirates-at-Reds, which the station
originated, while the NBC affiliates in Evansville and Louisville showed the Giants-at-Cardinals
was because baseball's TV rules of the day, until at least 1966, prohibited the showing of
nationally-televised regular season games in cities with MLB franchises.

A couple of thoughts on the last post:
The ABC-TV Network starting airing a Saturday game of the week in 1965. Those games were
seen here so that may have been the first season that network games could be seen in major
league cities.
Starting in 1956 and continuing for many years, WLW-T in Cincinnati originated the Reds
telecasts. As WLW-T was (and is) the NBC-TV affiliate in Cincinnati, that would have also
precluded any NBC-TV games from being seen here even if they would have been permitted.

So Louisville only had a CBS and NBC in 1960. What station did they use for ABC, Channel 7 in
Evansville, or none at all? Louisville is much larger than Evansville, you'd think it would have
been just the opposite.
Lexington was almost in the same boat. When did they get their 3rd network affiliate?
ABC seems to have been the "also ran" network until they got more stations........I'd guess
probably around 1974??????

Others with more knowledge can answer the Louisville and Lexington situations..A lot of the mid
size cities got ABC affiliates probably between 1965-1970..

Evansville was a little too far for casual viewing in Louisville. WAVE and WHAS aired some ABC
programming until WLKY signed on the air a year later.
The Evansville situation with all three networks was sort of at the expense of Louisville. The
Channel 7 allocation was originally non-commercial for Louisville. But a realignment and help
from a senator moved Channel 7 to Evansville and its designation to commercial. WEHT was
originally licensed to Henderson but eventually became a Evansville station for commerce
reasons.
Lexington received full time ABC when WBLG-TV Channel 62 (now WTVQ Channel 36) signed on
the air. Before that CBS was secondary for WLEX and WKYT. Lexington was close enough to
Louisville and Cincinnati for homes to have antennas able to receive those markets.

Right. WLKY signed on in 1961 and was the ABC
affiliate for Louisville until the network moved to
WHAS in 1990. Ironically, WLKY has done far
better with CBS than it ever did with ABC.
WBLG/WTVQ signed on in 1968, at which point
WKYT became fulltime CBS. There hasn't been

a switch in Lexington.

In many cities in the 1950's and even up into the 1960's, ABC-TV programs were seen on the
same stations that offered CBS or NBC. Since the CBS/NBC programs probably had the higher
ratings (probably because of ABC not being able to be seen as much), the stations would air
shows from those networks rather than ABC. In some cities, the ABC affiliate might be a UHF
station. Back then, many sets did not have UHF receivers or, if they did, signals may not have
been the best due to an improper or minimal-ability antenna.
I remember in the 1950's seeing large antennas on homes right in Lexington. When I inquired as
to why such powerful antennas were being used in the close-in suburbs, I was told that the only
TV outlets in the city were on UHF and residents were tuning to stations in Cincinnati and
Louisville to watch shows on their VHF channels.

Getting back to what Cincinnati said, maybe 50% of the people in Lexington were getting their TV
from Louisville or Cincinnati????? I think I'd put up a big antenna if it would give me 5 or 6 more
stations. I know some UHF's were not that clear back then and probably had limited viewing
areas.

I've wondered about that myself..The Guide actually had Sports at 11:10. I believe Chuck
Schodowski said in his book, "Big Chuck" that channel 8 only had one color camera and they
could only do shows with "stationary" shots..Basically, at this point..WJW was B@W from 11-
11:15, Color 11:15-11:20 and 11:20 on back to B@W for Ghoulardi..
The only other local color shows on this day's WJW Schedule were Franz at 9AM and TV Editorial

That would make sense, then. I think I have Big Chuck's book, and will look it up there.
It would be roughly analogous to news shows being in mixed HD (studio) and SD (outside tape,
live shots, etc.) today, though that distinction is going away in the local market...and they mark
the whole show in HD even if the studio cameras are the only HD content.

Darn. I was having fun imagining the other "Mr. T" hosting a kiddie show. Then again, he'd have
been about 13 himself in 1965...
he was already doing The A Team when I moved to Toledo

I should add that on Sundays at 7, Ch. 2 had "Secrets
Of The Deep" unless NBC had a football doubleheader,
in which case local news aired at that time. Ch. 5 had
local news; Ch. 11, Jimmy Dean's syndicated show.
Prime time on Sundays was 7:30-10:30 on all the networks,
so at 10:30 Ch. 2 had locally-produced news specials, Ch. 5
had "Police Surgeon," and Ch. 11 had its late local news,
followed by "Mission: Impossible" at 11.
Also, Saturdays at 7, Ch. 5 had the National Geographic
specials; Ch. 11 had "The Reasoner Report" unless college
football pre-empted it at its in-pattern time of 6:30, in which
case 11 would have local news at 7 (normal time was 6:30).

Re: Retro:Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto, Thursday, January 14, 1988
KCRA-Tv did not air the last 18 months of $ale Of the Century, and would not carry Classic
Concentration until 9/1989, after the Vicki Lawrence version of Win, Lose Or Draw ended it's two
year run on NBC.
In March,1989, KCRA did air CC for one day, I thought it was finally coming to 3 at 10 am, but no
they went with the NBC soap Generations, which had a two-year run from 3/1989-1/1991. I
raised hell at KCRA in The Sacramento Bee and in letters to the station, for not carrying CC, and
they finally gave in to viewer's request. For a time, KSCH-TV (now KQCA My 58 TV) had CC and
also Wordplay but were dropped for other prgramming. I think 58 had CC and then Wordplay
from5-6 but moved them to the noon slot ironically, opposite, now sister station KCRA's news at
noon (and also 10 and 13's,too), so 58 could air Gilligan and Jeannie from 5-6pm ,like WGN did in
the late 1970's and in 1980.
I wish NBC would let GSN air Concentration reruns, all versions, but NBC is hoarding it like a
squirrel hoarding its nuts. NBC needs to get the anchors out of its pants and either let GSN air
reruns, make a new version or both.

As far as I know, Cathay and Chinavision were separately owned until Fairchild purchased both in
1993, and the Cathay name was used right up until the Fairchild purchase. As an aside, TV Week
continued to list Fairchild Vancouver as Cathay (or at least had both names side-by-side) as late
as 1998, possibly even into the 2000s.

Considering the format, I take it these aren't the same shows as the American series of the same

Ha! How ironic that another independent station in the U.S. broadcasting on Channel 11 would
be airing the antics of The Three Stooges on weekends. As a matter of fact, KPLR-TV Channel 11
in my home city of St. Louis was also airing the Stooges on weekends too-in my case on
Saturdays late night at either 11:30pm or 12 midnight. Infact, IMHO The Three Stooges were,
and still are, practically synomous with KPLR-TV. In other words, a St. Louis tradition.
By the way, honorable mention does go out to two other indies broadcasting on Channel 11 that
also aired the stooges: WPIX-New York and KTVT-Dallas/Fort Worth.

Re: Retro: St. Louis Wed, Sept 22, 1976
It's "Lorenzo and Henrietta Music". Lorenzo Music was
the voice of Carlton the Doorman on "Rhoda" and did the
voice-overs of Garfield's thoughts on that animated series
and specials. Their talk show, however, was an immediate
flop, lasting just five weeks.
I do, however, have to put in one personal memory of that
show: we moved to Dallas about that time; the show aired
there on KTVT at 9 AM. Well, we had had a Chihuahua
puppy take up at our house in Florida just before the move,
we had nowhere to keep him except in my parents' hotel room, and
while we were waiting for the furniture to arrive from Florida
we had to stay at the hotel. My parents' room had a king-size
bed and Mikey (the dog) would stretch out on it and watch
Lorenzo and Henrietta. You could hardly see him, he was that
small.

Anybody from the St. Louis area recall what this show was about? It sounds like a local talent
competition, but it aired five nights a week (from skeds I have from 1974 and 1975), so I suspect
it wasn't that. Perhaps local choirs might have been profiled, or even other musical acts?

I think the two independent channels provided that missing piece of the puzzle. Both were
programmed well and made for a better overall viewing experience. Why can't that happen
today?
Oh yeah, I forgot, most independents are now CW, MY NETWORK TV or UPN.......offering a viable
choice or alternative program has become secondary to promoting lousy C- programs from third
rate networks.

Obviously, KPLR aired "Somerset," which was pre-empted by KSD. I believe "Somerset"'s network
time was 3PM. It's interesting that NBC allowed KPLR to air "Somerset" at 10:30, opposite
another NBC show on KSD ("Hollywood Squares"). Generally, networks would not allow a
secondary affiliate to air a network show opposite a show from the same network on the
primary affiliate. I'm not saying it never happened (it obviously did here), but it is rare.

Some time ago I posted a St. Louis schedule from 1975, and I noticed this program there. Does
anyone know what it was about? Was it some local, Sunrise Semester-type show?

I would imagine the "PS" in "PS 4" stood for "public school." Certainly, it wasn't about a video
game system that wouldn't be released for about forty years.

September 24: This Day in TV History
Just a few random TV related events that happened on September 24. Discuss or comment as
you please
1921: Legendary (and recently departed, R.I.P.) sportscaster Jim McKay is born (as James
Kenneth McManus) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
1945: CNN pundit Lou Dobbs is born in Childress, Texas.

1951: Love of Life debuts on CBS, the first of about 7500 episodes.
1958: Actor Kevin Sorbo (Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Andromeda) is born in Mound.

1960: Howdy Doody airs its final show, ending with the now iconic image of Clarabell the Clown
breaking his silence for the first and only time, uttering a tearful Goodbye, kids.
1963: Petticoat Junction premieres on CBS. [To this day, I am still grossed out by the girls (and the
dog!!) bathing in the towns drinking water supply. Bring bottled if you stay at the Shady Rest.....]
1964: Daniel Boone premieres on NBC; The Munsters on CBS.
1968: 60 Minutes debuts on CBS.
1968: Qu Ser, Ser: Doris Day comes to the small screen in her eponymous TV series on CBS.
DYK: Day claimed in her autobiography that her husband, Martin Melcher, had signed her to do
the TV series without her knowledge, a fact she only discovered when Melcher died in April of
1968.
1969: Medical Center debuts on CBS.
1970: Can two divorced men share an apartment.....without driving each other crazy? The Odd
Couple premieres on ABC.
1977: Its welfare for out-of-work actors: The Love Boat premieres on ABC.

during reconstruction work to strengthen the mast for the added weight of DTV antennas. 2
workers on the tower are killed, 3 on the ground injured. A subsequent investigation would find
that contractors neglected to stabilize the tower while original structural components were
being replaced with stronger ones.
(Just a little featurette I hope to do as time permits. Its an entirely random selection based on a
quick Net search, and is not meant to be comprehensive. So, dont post nasty messages about
you forgot THIS or how could you not mention THAT? Do so, and Ill just take my keyboard
and go home..)

Stanislav--
That far out in the country the Shady Rest probably had a deep well so you have nothing to
worry about though there is a punch line from an old joke about drinking seombody's bath
water.

That clip with the water tower had to be re-filmed a few times because of the various casting
changes to the Bradley girls over the early seasons. Plus the switch from B&W to color, plus
changing the opening after Bea Benaderet died, PLUS when June Lockhart joined the cast. There
must have been about a dozen variations of the opening montage altogether. There are also, if
memory serves, THREE (not two) distinct versions of the theme song lyrics -- one little-
remembered version bridged the gap between Benaderet's passing and the arrival of Lockhart
(the final lyrics including "Here's a lady M.D.....etc.). I don't recall the exact wording of the
"interim" lyrics, but I believe they are posted at PJ fan sites.
There's a topic for a new thread: how many TV shows have had to change theme song lyrics
because of cast changes?

Talk about the babes and the bathwater! ;D
Now that's three peas in a pod!

As I recall the lyric changes on the PJ theme were:
"It [The Hotel] is run by Joe come and be his guest at the Junction.."
"Here's a Lady MD she's as pretty as can be at the Junction.."
1968.
Another story I have heard over the years about this was that Melcher more/less stole all of
Day's money and if only after his death when Doris Day found out. Because she was broke she
had no choice but do that sitcom. I have always found it to be odd that Melcher was allowed to
agree on behalf of his wife that she would do a sitcom without her knowledge. How would that
have been legal? Wouldn't Doris' signature had been required on that contract? I really believe
Doris Day could have fought this in court to get out of doing the show and chances are she
would have won but then again...she needed that money.
...an additional aspect of the situation is that Doris had long been a recording star for Columbia
Records, and the sitcom was to be aired on the Columbia Broadcasting System. Plus, Doris' son,
Terry Melcher, was a staff producer for Columbia Records, producing major hits for The Byrds
and Paul Revere & The Raiders. William Paley was chairman of the board of both companies.
And Paley was a good friend of Doris'. Had the commitment been made with another network, I
suspect she would have fought it, but the family connections to CBS/Columbia were a lot
stronger...
The irony is that at the time The Doris Day Show was begun, Miss Day's association with
Columbia Records had all but ended (her last single for them was released in 1967, and she had
recorded an album for an independent concern that didn't see release until 1994), and ditto for
Mr. Melcher (by this time, Paul Revere & The Raiders' records were being produced by lead
singer Mark Lindsay). So the CBS connection for both, up to that point, had been in the past
tense. It's instructive, however, that while TDDS had decent but not spectacular ratings in its five
years on the air (and several different premises), once the contract ended in 1973 (a five-year
length), so did the series.
For the final version of the lyrics, yes. However, when Bea Benaderet died (and before June
Lockhart came aboard), they changed the lyrics to eliminate the reference to Kate, but had not
yet added the "Lady M.D" line. The 2nd version was only used for a few episodes. I forget exactly
what the words were (and I can't find the website that documented them at the moment) but
they differed from both the original and final versions. I first learned of this some years back
when I saw a rerun of one of that handful of episodes, and was shocked to hear lyrics I didn't
remember!
1969: The Courtship Of Eddie's Father
and Room 222 debuted on ABC. That was
on a Wednesday; two nights later The Brady
Bunch would make its debut.

1968: 60 Minutes debuts on CBS.
1968.
In the fall 1968 CBS Tuesday night schedule, "60 Minutes" (originally alternating with "CBS News
Hour"), followed Doris Day at 10/9 Central. Hard to imagine (in today's eyes) "60 Minutes" on
any night other than Sunday evenings at 7/6 (although that didn't happen until 1975--but not
counting the 1999-2005 "60 Minutes II," which originally aired on Wednesday evenings and later
on Fridays).
CBSNews.com has a clip of the first 4:13 of the first night of "60 Minutes" 41 years ago tomorrow
night:
http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4462049n
Somebody will no doubt correct me if I'm wrong...As I remember it, 60 Minutes did not get good
ratings in the Tuesday 10:00 time-slot. Moving it to 7:00 Sunday was a brilliant move. It anchored
CBS's Sunday night programming, exposed the show to a huge audience, became the nation's #1
most watched program for a number of years, and a Top 5 shows for quite a few years after that.

A quick check of Brooks and Marsh shows '60 Minutes' didn't crack the top 30 until the 1976-77
seaon(its first full season in the Sunday at 7 slot).
Worth noting that, after those first 3 years on Tuesdays, it didn't air at all in the fall from 1972
through 75, and aired in prime time only during the summers(Fridays at 8 ET in '73; Sundays at
9:30 ET the next two years.)
During the first 6 months of the year in the mid-70s, it aired in the 'pre-prime time' 6 PM ET slot
on Sundays, so it was completely pre-empted during football season...imagine that today! In
1974, it aired in the autumn, for the first time in four years, but still at 6 PM ET; when its
customary Friday prime-time run ended in the summer of '75, it was dormant until moving to
Sundays at 7 that December...and, barring only occaisional, usually NFL-related,
interruptions(plus twice for 'The Wizard of Oz' in its first showings on network TV since the '50s),
it's been there ever since.
(Anyone remember the show that previously held that time slot...'Three for the Road'?)

8:30 Presidential Debate (from Philly's Walnut Street Theater, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter
square off in the first televised Presidential debate in 16 years, made possible by a new FCC
interpretation of the Fairness Doctrine)
Was this the debate where technical problems resulted in no sound during part of it?
Yup...and there's a clip of it on YouTube. ABC was providing the pool feed and, after the sound
failed, ABC's Harry Reasoner was briefly heard on NBC (and possibly CBS as well) until they faded
the audio and cut to David Brinkley in studio.
I seem to recall at one point during the outage, Ford and Carter (still standing at their podiums,
waiting patiently) happened to glance at each other and exchanged a brief smile/chuckle over
the absurdity of it all.

Re: 1956 ABC, CBS, NBC FALL SCHEDULES (SUN-TUE)
Polka Music was "hot" in 1956. Really.
That show originated att WBKB in Chicago, with Stan Wolowic and the Polka Chips. (I have a
couple of albums).
Life is Worth Living w/Bishop Sheen was Mondays on your sched. I think they put it against
Milton Berle. too, and was quite successful.

You have question marks accopanying NOAH'S ARK.
This was a comedy-drama series about an elderly veterinarian, his young assistant and a pretty
nurse. It was filmed in color--and produced by Jack Webb!

Bishop Sheen was on against Berle when DuMont carried

"Life Is Worth Living." On Tuesday nights in the fall of 1956,
ABC was alternating "Cheyenne" and an anthology series called
"Conflict" from 7:30-8:30, and Berle was nowhere to be seen.
I'm sure you've all heard Berle's mischievous references to the
good bishop, calling him "Uncle Fultie" and saying things like,
"We both work for the same boss--Sky Chief" (a reference to
God in Sheen's case, a brand of Texaco gasoline in Berle's).
And even Sheen once said, when he found out he was going to
be on against Berle, "Now I can't watch my favorite show."

********It appears westerns were just starting to appear. The sitcom was earning it's stripes for
future dominance. Lots of drama plays were presented instead of all the drama shows we are
used to today. Music was also a big part of this era as were game shows (even though we later
learned
some weren't legit). I doubt anyone ever won $250,000 on Break The Bank (don't tell Regis).

Re: 1956 ABC, CBS, NBC FALL SCHEDULES (WED-SAT)
I've looked over this weekly schedule and determined that Wednesday night, seems to be my
favorite.
I'd probably have gone GIANT STEP/cbs, HIRAM HOLLIDAY/nbc, FATHER KNOWS BEST/nbc, OZZIE
& HARRIET/abc, I'VE GOT A SECRET/cbs, THIS IS YOUR LIFE/nbc and TWENTY ONE/nbc.
It looks like Sunday may have been the highest ratings night though (with the #2, 3, 6, 10, 22, 24
and 26 shows on that night). Sunday would have been my close second.

"Crossroads" was a drama anthology about the work of
various ministers; all the stories were true, and a different
minister was the subject each week. Surprisingly, the show
lasted two seasons and had a fairly decent clearance rate
for ABC at the time, especially in the South, where religious
programming tends to do best anyway.
And no, no one ever won $250,000 on "Break The $250,000
Bank"; most of the winners were in the $10-50,000 range.
Come to think of it, I don't think anyone has won a million on
Meredith's version of "Millionaire" since 2003.

A few other tidbits:
"Giant Step" was a big-money quiz show for kids ages
roughly 10-14, from the producers of "The $64,000 Question."
One contestant, math and science whiz Robert Strom, parlayed
his appearance on "Giant Step" into one on "Question" during a
period when, to compete with "Twenty-One," it added three more
$64,000 questions for a potential top prize of $256,000. Strom
stopped with $192,000; his parents felt the pressure was getting
to him.
Walter Winchell's show was not his news-and-gossip radio show,
but an Ed Sullivan-type variety show. Well, we all know who mastered
that format; Winchell tried again on ABC in 1960 with no better luck.
Lawrence Welk was, as noted, on two nights a week: his familiar
Saturday-night show and a talent show on Mondays. At the time,
ABC had visions of doing the same thing with Ted Mack, since he
had once been a bandleader; "Amateur Hour" would air one night a
week, and "The Ted Mack Show" (like Welk's Saturday hour) on another
night. One night in January 1957 ABC gave "The Ted Mack Show" a
special airing in "Amateur Hour"'s slot; the critics were universally kind,
saying it was better than Welk's show, but it happened to be the night
of Elvis' third appearance on Sullivan, the "shoot him from the waist up"
appearance, and hardly anyone was watching Mack. "The Ted Mack Show"
never came to fruition; by the summer of '57 he was back on NBC, where
he'd been last seen in a 1955 daytime show. Then from 1958 on, except
for six months on ABC in 1960, he'd be on CBS, mostly on Sunday afternoons.

"High Finance" was a game show created and hosted by Dennis James.
Contestants answered questions about current events; they were given
an initial stake and could "invest" (wager) any part of it unless and until
they went broke. The end game was similar to that of "Sale Of The Century":
winners could buy a prize or come back the next week and try to earn more
for something even bigger (if they came back and lost, they won no prizes).
You also have a question mark surrounding "Masquerade Party". The idea for
the show is actually rooted in an idea that was tossed around, then abandoned,
for the Mystery Guest segment of "What's My Line?"--to have the guest wear
a disguise. Celebrity guests on "Masquerade Party" appeared in costumes that
suggested a clue to their identities; each of the four panelists could ask up to
five questions (twenty questions, get it?), and the celebrity could win up to
$300 for his or her favorite charity. The show was noted for two particularly
quick identifications: Gloria Swanson, who came dressed as a Keystone Kop
(the clue: her career had started in a Keystone Kops picture); livid at the
ease with which she'd been unmasked, she unwittingly got the producers to
place a minimum of one minute on the game. The second was the Three Stooges,
who came on disguised as the Gabor sisters, but Moe, Larry, and Curly Joe were
hard to disguise.
"Masquerade Party" is remembered for its turnover of panel (nineteen during its
1952-60 network run) and emcees (six: Bud Collyer, Douglas Edwards--the same,
Peter Donald, Eddie Bracken, Robert Q. Lewis, and Bert Parks). Stefan Hatos and
Monty Hall bought the rights to the show for syndication in 1974; Richard Dawson
was host; Bill Bixby, Lee Meriwether, and Nipsey Russell were the panelists. A new
feature allowed two members of the studio audience to try to identify one of the
guests after the panelists finished questioning. That version lasted only one season,
and it wouldn't be long afterwards that Dawson would be hosting the show that will
always be identified with him: "Family Feud".

********It looks like ABC was concentrating on prime-time shows at this time. In 1957 American
Bandstand began at 3PM (30/60/90 minutes). ABC started at various times from 10:30 to 12:00
(1958-1975). The 90 minute AM AMERICA at 7:00 began in 1975. It seems ABC didn't get hold of
the ball until the 4th quarter!

Re: 1956 NETWORK DAYTIME FALL TV SCHEDULE
Ive never paid attention to who Justin Bieber is, but I'm sure he doesnt have half the talent as
Tennessee Ernie Ford did...
I'd also never heard of the daytime NBC "Bandstand" but by December 3, 1956..(Premiere was
actually November 26) Bandstand had been replaced by a show we're all familar with..Bill

ABC was all local until 3PM.

********It looks like ABC was concentrating on prime-time shows at this time. In 1957 American
Bandstand began at 3PM (30/60/90 minutes). ABC started at various times from 10:30 to 12:00
(1958-1975). The 90 minute AM AMERICA at 7:00 began in 1975. It seems ABC didn't get hold of
the ball until the 4th quarter!
ABC didn't begin in late mornings until fall 1958 with "Operation Daybreak" (with the longest-
lasting of the original lineup being Day in Court which ran through 1965). In New York, that
brought an end to the first of WABC-TV's many ayem movie showcases*, Morning Feature; plus
The Afternoon Show which aired around 1 P.M. The film packages WABC had at the time were
run, two a week (Mon-Wed and Thu-Sun rotation), on all their movie shows (also including The
Night Show which debuted in February 1956 and expanded WABC's broadcast day past their
prior 11:30 P.M. sign-off).
* Later ones included: Movie of the Day (1963-67); Prize Movie with Gloria DeHaven (1969-71);
The Morning Movie (1969-77); The Movie in the Morning (1977-83); and Spring Cinema (1983).
Over at NBC, Howdy Doody's run as a daytime afternoon show (start time 5:30 P.M.) ended on
June 1, 1956; after the network gave back the time to local affiliates, New York's WRCA-TV (later
WNBC-TV) launched a P.M. movie show called Evening Theatre that, by February 1957, evolved
into Movie 4 which ran on weekday afternoons until 1974 (and at various times on weekends, on
and off, through 1976-77). As for Howdy Doody, after June 16, 1956 it was part of NBC's Saturday
morning lineup, up to the end of its run in 1960.

My sources differ. I think you are talking about WABC. I am talking about the network.
Maybe WABC was off the air in the morning, that's a possibility.

The NBC Bandstand show was a big band music show hosted by Bert Parks, according to an old
NY Journal American Television-Radio Guide I have from 1956. Bert Parks also hosted the Miss
America Pagent each year. He'd be the one to sing "Here She Is, Miss America" after the
contestant was crowned. Parks also hosted a game show or two after Bandstand was cancelled.
And Dough-Re-Mi was hosted by Gene Rayburn, who later went on to host The Match Game for
many years.
There were various daytime music and variety shows in those days, some network, some
syndicated, some local. Tennessee Ernie Ford was a country singer who hosted a daytime show
for many years, who also did a bit of comedy and concluded each day's show with a hymm.
Arthur Godfrey, Johnny Carson, Jack Paar, Bob Newhart, Dinah Shore, Julius LaRosa and others
had daytime variety/music/comedy shows. Patti Page, Perry Como, Eddie Fisher, Liberace, Les
Paul & Mary Ford all had 15 min. or 30 min. syndicated mostly music shows. When local news
ran only 15 min. stations would often use these 15 min. music shows to complete the half hour.

Back in my COMIC DAYS if I was on the streets or in a bar with friends and an ugly girl walked by,
I'd start singing "There She Is, Miss Bulgaria" and they would die laughing.
Then one day I talked to one of the prettiest girls I'd ever seen in my life. I asked her where she
was from, you got it Bulgaria!!!! I found a different song after that.

No, by 1956 WABC's sign-on was in the morning (either 7 or 8 A.M., I can't tell which). Among
the local-based shows Channel 7 had, besides the aforementioned movie umbrellas, was a
children's series called Tommy Seven and a program (Memory Lane) hosted by one Joe Franklin
who would later become better known at WOR/WWOR-TV where he would hold court from
1962 to 1993. The point was, WABC had plenty of time to fill with local programming in those
days, since the ABC network's programming at that point, as you said, didn't start till 3 P.M.; and
except for Franklin, much of the daytime programming WABC had fell by the wayside once
"Operation Daybreak" was launched in '58.

Steve Allen was talking on one occasion about a show
on WABC called "Entertainment," which, he said, aired
from 12:30-3 PM; Tom Poston was on that show (it's
apparently where Allen first saw him), along with Gene
Wood, before he got into game shows. Anybody ever
see or hear of this show?

OK, from my NY Journal-American Television Radio Guide, here's Channel 7 WABC-TV for Tues.,
Aug. 28, 1956...
7:40 -- Morning Prayer
7:45 -- News--George H. Combs
8:00 -- Tinker's Work Shop -- Kids
Cartoons today are "Goofy Goat Antics" and "Where's Smithy?" A farm animal visits.
9:00 -- Romper Room -- Miss Jane (years later moves to Channel 9)
10:00 -- The Drama of Life
"The Bean Farm" The life of a quiet family of bean farmers is distrupted when oil is discovered on
their property.
10:30 -- Road of Romance -- Drama
"Wedding March" A solid businessman and a "rolling stone" vie for the hand and heart of a
lovely girl.
11:00 -- Movie -- Western
"Bar 20 Rides Again" A dangerous outlaw woos a girl to get control of her father's land. William
Boyd
12:00 -- Time for Fun -- Kids
Cartoons include "Merry Kitten" and "Two Trappers"
12:30 -- Memory Lane -- Joe Franklin (Years later moves to Channel 9)
1:30 -- Movie -- Drama
"Letter from An Unknown Woman" (1948) A girl of 15 becomes infatuated with a 25 year old
pianist. Joan Fontaine
Then at 3pm, Channel 8 in New Haven CT joins Channel 7 for another movie, followed by The
Mickey Mouse Club from 5 to 6pm, so I assume those are ABC Network presentations. To fill up
the time before the network signs on, WABC runs two movies, three children's shows, Joe
Franklin (who still is heard on WBBR 1130 to this day doing features for the Bloomberg Business
News) and two 30 minute dramas. I wonder where those dramas came from? Were those prime
time shows from years past? TV and video recording was so new then, I don't think they had
many off-network repeats to show then.

Re: Retro: Kentucky Thursday, September 23, 1971
You would have thought that Nichols would have been a hit since it was sandwiched in between
Flip Wilson (the #2 show at the time) and Dean Martin (still very popular) and the competition
on both ABC and CBS wasn't too much with Longstreet and CBS Thursday Night Movie being on
at the same time.
Much later on, I read something about James Garner's Nichols in that it was like Maverick only
that he was on a motorcycle and that Stuart Margolin (later Angel on James' The Rockford Files)
was on it. That's one show that I would like to see on DVD.

Flip Wilson was great, and funny. Dean Martin was bland and tasteless, but I still watched it. Flip
did his show in the round and you could actually see the audience laughing............unlike other
shows where only 10 people laughed and they'd dub in 50 others. Flip actually brought the races
together which was a big accomplishment for the time. Geraldine was my favorite character.

8 PM Bearcats!...believe it or not, this show was replaced in January 1972 by "Me And The
Chimp"
What did CBS follow the Chimpster with at 8:30/7:30 in the '71-'72 "second season"?
(I'm drawing a blank.)

My Three Sons moved to Thursdays in January 1972 at 8:30/7:30 from Mondays at 10:00/9:00.
The Monday comedies at 10:00/9:00 to 11:00/10:00 on CBS with MTS and Arnie didn't work all
that well and Arnie moved back to Saturday night that January. And we all know what replaced
both Me And The Chimp and My Three Sons that fall.

Thanks, I've now put most of the other midseason pieces together: Arnie to Sat 9:30/8:30
which shifted MTM back an hour to 8:30/7:30 as Miss Wheat Thins #1 was cancelled. But
what did CBS then put on Mondays at 10/9?

And we all know what replaced both Me And The Chimp and My Three Sons that fall.

at the same time.
Several years ago this show was mentioned on one of those retail sites, I am thinking it was
deadmalls.com but we are talking a good 5 years. Anyway back in 1971 "Nichols" was a very
popular retail chain in the midwest and along the east coast ( "Nichols...a saven haven !!" ) and
they weren't happy that NBC had titled a show using the exact same name as the chain as they
would sue NBC over it. Don't remember the settlement but while I am sure it ratings of lack
thereof as to why the TV "Nichols" didn't last...but I would also bet money that the retail
"Nichols" had a hand in it as well.
This would be like today naming a sitcom "Target", and while the sitcom may not have anything
to do with the stores that bear its name...chances are you would still hear from the lawyers from
the retail chain Target.

Sonny and Cher got the 10/9 slot on Mondays. BTW, CBS's midseason Saturday-night lineup
was:
8:00/7:00 All In The Family

Flip Wilson was great, and funny. Dean Martin was bland and tasteless, but I still watched it. Flip
did his show in the round and you could actually see the audience laughing............unlike other
shows where only 10 people laughed and they'd dub in 50 others. Flip actually brought the races
together which was a big accomplishment for the time. Geraldine was my favorite character.
I think Geraldine was just about everybody's favorite. Few comics can pull off drag without being
grotesque (think Milton Berle here), but Wilson created a believable, funny, fully fleshed-out
character.
And you're right about the racial aspect. Just a few short years after the Civil Rights battles of the
60's, you saw a thoroughly integrated audience sharing the joy of Wilson's humor. Yes, most of
those people probably retreated to their separate spheres after the show, but coming together
on common ground was a step in the right direction, even for something as seemingly trivial as a
TV show.

1. What were the regular prime-access schedules for the Cincinnati stations (if you have them)?
2.
It seems WKRC, like WRAL, ran a checkerboard of ABC's weekend kids show. What were the
others?
1. 7:00 WLWT I Dream Of Jeannie
WCPO Truth Or Consequences

WKRC To Tell The Truth
SAT WLWT Midwestern Hayride (to 8)
WCPO Hee Haw (to 8)
I don't have WKRC's; ABC had a college football
game the week of this issue. I do know that
Lawrence Welk aired at 6 PM on WXIX; he would
later air at 7 on WLWT.
SUN WLWT This Is Your Life
WCPO Impact (local)
WKRC again, I don't know; on Sunday 9/19 ABC
had a special, "Goin' Back To Indiana," with
the Jackson 5
7:30 MON WLWT Juvenile Jury (revival of Jack Barry's first hit)
WCPO Doctor In The House
WKRC What's My Line? (airs nightly except Tuesday)
TUE The networks had 7:30 that season: ABC had Mod Squad,
CBS had The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, NBC had Ironside.
CBS and NBC gave back 10:30; WLWT had Peyton Place, while
WCPO had Monty Nash. ABC made it up by giving back Mon 8:30,
where WKRC had Sports Challenge.

WED WLWT Adam-12 (week delay, like WSB)
WCPO All About Faces (game show)
THU WLWT Primus
WCPO Let's Make A Deal
FRI WLWT Quarterback Club
WCPO What Would You Say? (game show, sounds local,
since I never heard of it)
SUN ABC did not program 7:30; CBS and NBC did, but I don't
know what was on WKRC.
NBC also gave back Friday 10:30; WLWT carried Tom Smothers' Organic
Space Ride; CBS gave back Sunday 10:30, where WCPO had The David
Frost Revue.
2. WKRC's kids' shows at 10:30 AM
MON Reluctant Dragon And Mr. Toad (delay from Sun 10 AM)
TUE Here Come The Doubledeckers (delay from Sun 10:30 AM)
WED Bullwinkle (delay from Sun 11 AM)
THU Make A Wish (delay from Sun 11:30 AM)
FRI Cartoons (probably from a library purchased by the station)

I may have to redo this, since the first year of the
access rule was complicated; it went like this:
MON CBS and NBC programmed 8-11; ABC, 8-8:30, 9-
conclusion of football
TUE ABC programmed 7:30-11; CBS and NBC, 7:30-10:30
WED, THU, SAT all networks programmed 8-11
FRI ABC and CBS programmed 8-11; NBC, 8-10:30
SUN NBC programmed 7:30-11; CBS, 7:30-10:30; ABC, 8-11
NBC had asked for a waiver because Disney aired at 7:30; ABC
wanted one because Tuesday was its strongest night. These
expired in September 1972; NBC programmed 8-11 Mon-Sat and

7:30-10:30 Sun, while ABC programmed 8-11 every night. Also,
top-50 market affiliates (and Cincinnati was one) were prohibited
from showing off-network reruns beginning in the fall of '72; WLWT
replaced "I Dream Of Jeannie" with "Beat The Clock".

Movies. The NBC "Wednesday Mystery Movie" at 8:30
was picked up by WKRC (ABC) and aired late night Saturdays.
"Mystery Movie," BTW, was one of the NBC shows that Ted
Turner included on his infamous "The NBC Network Moves To
Channel 17" billboards in Atlanta.

at the same time.
"Longstreet" and "Owen Marshall" got a boost on the night of October 21 when CBS aired three
news specials in a row; the "Owen Marshall" episode was the conclusion of a two-parter that
had started on "Marcus Welby, M.D." two nights earlier: Marshall is defending Steven Kiley
(James Brolin) on a malpractice charge after a patient dies. That week, "Marshall" finished third
in the ratings; "Longstreet," fifth. Those were unusually high ratings for both shows, but not long
after that, NBC put "Ironside" back on Thursday, where it made short work of "Longstreet," while
"Nichols" was placed against "Welby" and CBS's "Cannon" on Tuesday ("Marshall" hung on for
three seasons, the last on Wednesday, then Saturday). It would appear that NBC had little faith
in "Nichols" to move him to a slot opposite even stronger competition than he'd had.

So Indianapolis didn't have an independent station in 1982? When did they get one? What
independents and CW, MY NETWORK TV's do they have today?

WTTV, though COLed to Bloomington, served Indianapolis- they've been on-air since November
11/49, some 5-1/2 months after WFBM-TV (now WRTV) launched, making 4 the second-oldest
channel in the state. More info on WTTV at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTTV

Did the Indianapolis market still go by Eastern Standard Time? The schedules for that market's
network affiliates don't seem right....

As Bluenoser mentioned, WTTV is licensed to Bloomington. Its studio is in Indy (on the south
side in 1982, but I think they're now co-located with WXIN Fox 59) and the transmitter is in
Trafalgar, 25 miles south of Indy and 25 miles NE of Bloomington. This allows the required city-
grade coverage of Bloomington but gives a poorer signal on the north side of Indy (did this
improve with digital?). Because of this, they started satellite-station WTTK Ch. 29, licensed to
Kokomo, in 1987. They were the market's independent station from 1957 to 1995, when they
signed with UPN. Before that, they were primary NBC (1949-56) and ABC (1956-57).
WTTV is currently the CW affiliate for the Indy market, while MyNetworkTV is WNDY Channel 23,
licensed to Marion and co-owned with WISH-TV. I don't believe there are any "true"
independents in the area right now.
Did the Indianapolis market still go by Eastern Standard Time? The schedules for that market's
network affiliates don't seem right....
Indianapolis was still on Eastern Standard Time in the summer; it wasn't until later that their
stations began delaying everything an hour to keep them on an 8-11 primetime the year 'round
(I think, and I may be wrong, that WTHR started it so it could air "Wheel Of Fortune" at 7:30 the
year 'round.). Of course, it's a moot point now, since Indianapolis is on EDT.
From what I remember from the late '60s and early '70s when I lived in Bloomington, the Indy,
South Bend, and Ft. Wayne stations delayed their programming by an hour in the summer. The
Terre Haute stations did not since they had Illinois viewers as well. All those cities were on EST
(nobody dared call it "Central Daylight Time" if you lived in most of Indiana! ;D ) in the summer.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Sunday, September 29, 1974
Quite a lot of CHURCHY morning shows going on. Channel 3, 9 and 12 in Chattanooga had about
5 hours each. Nobody ever heard of counter programming? So many religious choices, must
have been a lot of channel switching back and forth to tune in the best ones.
Several others were pushing 3 and 4 hours worth. Aren't most down to about 2 hours or less
these days (if any at all)?

Re: Retro: Central Florida Saturday, September 29, 1973
The guest on this evening's Carol Burnett Show was the legendary Gloria Swanson - whose
appearance came about due to her having written a fan letter over Ms. Burnett's original 1971
parody of Sunset Blvd. (Ironically, there was no Nora Desmond sketch this evening - but there
was a sketch where Carol's Charwoman character watched an old Chaplin film [with Ms.
Swanson appearing as "The Little Tramp"].)

Interesting that Austrailia goes a long way in original programming instead of just "borrowing"
from the USA as Canada does. Canada is probably 70% USA TV, whereas Austrailia is probably
about 40%.
I wonder how much USA TV is on in England?

That's the TV Hat story - but as I found out from a government broadcasting station listing from
1967, it was still officially CJSS-TV, rebroadcasting CJOH-TV, through at least 1967. Furthermore
the Ottawa Citizen still listed Channel 8 as CJSS as late as 1972; my bet is that it was changed to
CJOH-TV-8 at the same time the Deseronto Channel 6 repeater was added, which was in 1972.

As late as 1960, the second largest city in Canada only had two TV stations, both government-
owned? I would have guessed that privately-owned French CFTM 10 and English CFCF-TV 12
would have been on the air by this point. NYC and LA had seven TV stations by the mid 1950s.
I know by the mid 70s, when my family visited Montreal on vacation, they were all on the air.

Both stations signed on in 1961. Canadian regulations didn't allow more than one station in each
of English and French in a single city prior to 1960 - and all stations up to that point were either
owned by the CBC or affiliated with the CBC English or French network. The first of these
"second" stations was CFCN in Calgary, which signed on in September 1960; by the end of 1961,
there were the charter CTV affiliates (CHAN Vancouver, CFCN Calgary, CFRN Edmonton, CJAY
Winnipeg, CFTO Toronto, CJOH Ottawa, CFCF Montreal, and CJCH Halifax), the French station
CFTM in Montreal, and independent CHCH in Hamilton. Some of these stations, namely CFRN
and CHCH, were previously CBC affiliates.

During that time period (pre-1960), I guess the people of Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver
were lucky enough to have the possibility of receiving CBS/ABC/NBC affiliates from Burlington,
Buffalo, and Seattle, respectively.

Especially after the American stations began broadcasting in color -- the Canadian government
did not green-light colorcasts for its stations until 1966.

That really is an amazing fact, that Canada didn't permit privately-owned/privately-run stations
till after 1960. I'm sure most Canadian homes had TV by the 1950s, just like in the U.S. But if they
didn't have an elaborate antenna on their roof to pick up U.S. signals, they had to be content
with only ONE TV station in their language? And how many places had both CBC and SRC
stations? Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, maybe New Brunswick? So if you were somewhat bi-
lingual at least those communities had two stations. Major cities like Toronto and Vancouver
didn't have French stations till decades later.
When it was still on the air, AM 600 CFCF Montreal used to say each hour in its I.D. that it was
Canada's first station. It signed on in 1919, well before KDKA, the first commercial station in the
U.S. Yet even they couldn't get a CFCF-TV station on the air till 1961, well after NYC and LA
viewers had seven stations to choose from.
I remember when my family visited Montreal in the early 70s and we stayed in a motel in
Longueuil. With only four local TV stations, 2, 6, 10 and 12, they also had a big antenna on the
roof (as did most motels and hotels in the area) to pick up NBC 5 from Plattsburgh, CBS 3 and
ABC 22 from Burlington and TVA 7 from Sherbrooke. (22 was seen on Channel 4 in the motel.)
There was no cable then, so everyone had to fend for theimselves in picking up U.S. signals.
Even today, Montreal has only 7 TV stations, which is what NYC and LA had in the 50s, even
though the Montreal market would be about the size of Washington if it were in the U.S., a top
10 market.

Actually, they always did allow private stations. It was that, until 1960, it must be affiliated with
the CBC.

I should have made that clear. In smaller markets they allowed a private owner to opeate a
station before 1960 but as you said, it still had to air CBC programs. Since CBC had O&O stations
in all but the smallest markets, there were no opportunities for private broadcasters in large
markets to put a station on the air.
And I miscounted the number of TV stations in Montreal today. It's nine. CBC, SRC, TVA, V
(formerly TQS), Tele-Quebec, CTV, Global, an educational station and an ethnic station. But it's
still fewer than you'd find in Washington, a similar sized U.S. city. Just over the border, the
Burlington-Plattsburgh market has nearly the same number of stations as Montreal, even though
it has a tenth of the population.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Tuesday, October 1, 1974
WTCG - Channel 17 (Ind.)
6:00 AM - Wilburn Brothers (Jeanne Pruett and Ronny Robbins - don't know who he is)
Ronny Robbins is the son of Marty Robbins who didn't quite follow in the footsteps of his dad
Marty in that Ronny recorded several songs (I don't recall Ronny recording an album) and
charted with a few of them but they weren't hits.

Interesting that most of the syndicated comedy programs back then are still going strong today
"Bewitched" "Andy" "Beverly Hillbillies" "Lucy"..........who would have thought.......35 years later?

12 N Password (Patty Duke Astin and John Astin
vs. Ed and Nancy Asner)

10 AM Password (day-behind, Bert and Anne Convy vs.
Ed and Nancy Asner)
Was this the ill-fated "Password All-Stars" tournament format? If so, Atlanta viewers would
probably know who won at 10 AM just by looking at channel 9's description at 12 Noon.

"Password All-Stars" didn't start until Nov. 18. This
does appear to have been some sort of celebrity-couple
competition (I'm not sure if it was a tournament); as it
turned out, John and Patty Duke Astin were on most of the
week (three days), but on Friday's show on Ch. 9 (Monday,
Oct. 7 on Ch. 11) the couples were Orson and Carolyn Bean
vs. Dionne Warwick and Bill Elliott, neither of whom had faced
the Astins. I don't have a TV Guide for the next week so I
don't know if this competition continued.

Neither Chattanooga or Atlanta's CBS stations cleared Young & The Restless in 1974.
By the 1975-76 season, Y & R was the 3rd highest rated soap, so I wonder when WDEF and
WAGA started carrying the show.

think WDEF began soon afterward, no later than 1978.

10 AM Name That Tune (Dennis James hosts thedaytime version; Tom Kennedy, the syndicated
access-time version.)
Meanwhile, Mr. James hosted the syndicated access-time version of The Price Is Right - the
daytime version of which was hosted by Bob Barker who was also still presiding over the
syndicated Truth or Consequences (as aired at 2:30 P.M. on WAGA and at 7 P.M. on both WMAZ
and WRCB) at this time.

"T or C" aired on WXIA, not WAGA (they had "Edge Of Night"
at 2:30). Barker quit "T or C" when "Price" expanded to an
hour; his agent felt he would be overexposed being on 90 minutes
a day in most markets. Then in 1977 he took over nighttime "Price"
from Dennis James.
BTW, James once said he was quite unhappy with the cosmetic
changes the mad programmer Lin Bolen imposed on him--longer
hair and sideburns, wide-lapel jackets, wide ties, etc. He said
he would wince when he looked at himself. It's also my understanding
that Ms. Bolen wanted her emcees to play certain roles: Alex Trebek
was supposed to be a brooding, slightly-threatening type; Chuck Woolery,
a country boy; Geoff Edwards, a playboy type with his permed hair and
leisure suits; Jim McKrell, a nice guy with a hint of the mischievous--he
was told never to wear any but plaid sports jackets.
Makes me wonder what she would have done to Drew Carey.

Cool! I remember picking up AF's final issue in 1972, but cannot remember which paper.
BTW WJXT if it was CBS/ABC, Hitchcock @ 10pm? Wasn't that an NBC show? (WFGA had Jack
Paar @ that time)

At the time Hitchcock was on CBS. His half-hour show
had started there in 1955, moved to NBC in 1960, and then,
when it expanded to an hour in 1962, returned to CBS. He
would have one last season (1964-65) on NBC.

Imagine... in 1963 Jacksonville was so small that it had only two commercial VHF stations. ABC
had to accept secondary carriage between the NBC and CBS stations.
Today Jacksonville is so big that it has its own NFL team. Eventually Jacksonville got an ABC
station on UHF, as well as other UHF stations. And Channel 4, WJXT, switched to independent, so
CBS joined ABC on the UHF dial.
So that's another quirk for Jacksonville TV, that a VHF stations, WJXT 4, voluntarily gave up
network affiliation to go independent.

Jax has an NFL team, but I think that even *that* is on the bubble. They are still market #52 or
so. The Jags AFAIK started out strong in attendance, but I think even the NFL is not sure that it
wants to keep the team there. Sad, because I'm a fan of them somewhat.

IIRC, WJKS/17 came on the air in 1967, giving Jacksonville its first ABC station, and the Alphabet
network has been all over the place; you may recall that WTLV switched from NBC to ABC in
1980, back to NBC in '88 (putting ABC back on WJKS), and then, with the coming of the WB, 17
took the WB and ABC moved to Ch. 25.
Does anyone besides me think that WJXT's dropping CBS and becoming independent was a
mistake? I've heard rumors to the effect that Ch. 4 no longer dominates the market, that it has
suffered some of the same problems re loss of audience as San Francisco's KRON, formerly an
NBC affiliate. I've also heard, but can't confirm, that ABC has tried to get 4 to affiliate with them
and that 4 won't do it.

No idea, but it would not surprise me.
BTW---it just hit me---isn't WGFL High Springs the "default" Jax CBS station now? If so, Jax must
be 99.5% cable by now....WGFL is a bit away!

I think WGFL is CBS for the Gainesville area.
Speaking of Gainesville, they sure have come a long way since 1963 also. From one college
station
to 5 now (if you include Ocalla). Since their 2009 population was only 114,000 that's very
impressive.
And during the summer that probably goes down to around 85,000.......bet there's a lot of
infomercials there. GO GATORS.
As did Raleigh/Durham, which went without a third network
affiliate from the demise of WNAO in the late '50s to the
arrival of WRDU/WPTF/WRDC in 1968, and even then, WTVD
continued to shoehorn CBS and NBC and leave Ch. 28 with
the crumbs until 28 complained and WTVD was forced to choose
between CBS (the one it took) and NBC in 1971. What was even
more jarring was the fact that little Greenville/New Bern/Washington
had three network affiliates by the end of 1963, as ABC affiliate WNBE
(WCTI)/12 signed on on Sept. 7.

Wikipedia says Jacksonville got their ABC network in February 1966 (WJKS 17). "Jacksonville had
to wait longer for full network service than other cities of its size." All because there were no
suburbs around Jacksonville, wikipedia states (mostly swamps and ocean, I'd assume).
Over the years 17 switched to NBC and then back to ABC again. Then a move to the WB and
finally the CW today. If I'm not mistaken, TV 17 was among the first stations in the 70's to show
late late movies on the weekends, instead of just signing off at 1AM.

No -- WTEV channel 47, a former indy in Jax, is.

Gainesville-Ocala for a while had only CBS, ABC and Fox affiliates, as well as a long-time PBS
station connected with the University of Florida. Since Daytona Beach was so close, WESH 2, the
Orlando NBC affiliate, also served as the NBC station for Gainesville-Ocala. That recently changed
when WNBW signed on as Gainesville-Ocala's NBC affiliate.
According to what I've read, Cox Cable is keeping WESH on its line up, as well as WNBW.

Actually, Cox carries WGFL (CBS) and WNBW (NBC) on its Gainesville system only -- viewers in
Ocala, part of the Orlando market, get WKMG for CBS, and only WESH for NBC.

Re: retro: NYC Tuesday, Dec. 29, 1931
When I first saw the use of "W2XAB and W2XE", I thought it was two television stations
simulcasting the same video and audio - a search corrected that. W2XAB was the callsign for the
video portion of the broadcast; W2XE was the callsign for the audio. Good thing they got away
from that precedent...

It's crazy how sometimes less is more. There is probably more variety and good shows to watch
in this 4 station schedule than 40 cable channels can deliver today.......and with less commercials
too.

Gregg:
Many a time I have said pretty much the same thing! Of note here is the lack of daytime
schedule preemptions. All in pattern except for the requisite AMC delay on Channel 6.
I don't know why this joke of a website wastes such precious space for this kind of trivial fluff. I'd
talk to the webmaster about it, but .... oh .... never mind ....

So it's a rerun on KTWO?
Not sure...listings didn't indicate, but given that it was a premiere on 2/6/35, I wouldn't be
surprised if it was a premiere on K2 as well...listings for syndied show were somewhat of a
crapshoot in those days ;D
As the NBC listings reflect, this was their final year (until the second-run arrangements with
Discovery Kids, and later with Qubo) of airing cartoons on Saturday mornings. The Saturday
edition of the Today Show premiered the following fall.

with KUTV, moving to NBC. KSL is one of just a few NBC affiliates that do not carry Saturday Night
Live, due to what they consider "family standards". SNL can be seen on KUCW, the CW station in
the market.

Was WOR's coverage of the World Series on this particular date a test run before they formally
signed on a few days later?

I wonder: Was the Bob Howard who hosted a variety show bearing his name on WCBS-TV at 6:45
the same as a longtime broadcast veteran who worked at WNEW 1130 from the late 1950's to
the mid-'60's, then on to a long career with 1010 WINS as one of their key anchormen (as well as
a voiceover for many radio and TV ads) and finally (as Robert M. Howard) at KFWB News 98 in
Los Angeles in the '80's and into the '90's - or someone completely different?

I somehow doubt it. The Bob Howard listed here was an
African-American singer-pianist nicknamed "The Jive Bomber."
He was also a regular on CBS's Saturday-night radio-TV game
show "Sing It Again". There's a story that one night his bench
collapsed (he weighed about 300 pounds); he picked himself up
off the floor, laughing and joking, "That's a first." From offstage,
somebody said, "And that's a last. Get him a double-duty bench."

In other words, something completely different. Thanks for advising.

Re: Retro: Pittsburgh/Ohio Valley Tues, Oct 7, 1958
90 minutes of "American Bandstand" two hours on 4 Pittsburgh. That had to be a money maker
for ABC........play some records, watch people dance. That's almost as cheap to produce as a talk
show.

There were 2 Major League Baseball playoff games that day: Orioles At A's ALCS Game 3 (O's
ended the series sweeping 3 games to none winning 5-3) and Giants At Pirates NLCS Game 3
(Pirates take a 2-1 lead by beating the Giants 2-1).
Wouldn't NBC & the Canadian CBC carry at least 1 if not both of those contests?

On Tues, they apparently ran the network 10pm shows based on the listings...on Fri, WGR aired
One Night Stand, WROC showed NFL Game of the Week, and WBEN/WHEC ran movies 9:30-11.
Perhaps the paper did a real "cut & paste" from their weekend edition!
Or posted updated listings in the Entertainment section itself, I presume the supplement was
prepared a few days in advance...

So WKFT still aired its own programming against WRAL, which I assume could be seen on cable
during the tower structure? What other programs during that week did WKFT, as it were, go
rogue with?

mid. Tiny Toon Adventures (and no, I don't know what WFXI's schedulers were smoking )
Kinda surprised that FOX had even allowed this. Reason I say that is that some years back I can
recall reading in Broadcasting & Cable about some local station who had wanted to air The
Simpsons & The Family Guy in the morning right after Regis & Kelly only to get a "..oh no you
don't" from FOX". I don't remember exactly why FOX was so against the idea of it though.
Even though there is no shortage of 24/7 networks who do the round-the-clock cartoon thing,
for some reason when it comes to showing such things in offbeat hours like overnights or mid-
mornings on local TV..it tends to be looked down by many ( Family Guy and the like is an
exception ). I can recall when Baltimore's WBFF channel 45 back in the late 70's for a very brief
time aired The Flintstones at 11pm but viewers complained, saying that the idea was "dumb" so
after just one week the station went to airing reruns of I Love Lucy in that slot.
Retro: Eastern Virginia Monday, October 9, 1967
NOTES: At the time the NABET strike against ABC affected
some of that network's programming. If the strike
is settled, regular programming will air.
Game 5 of the World Series between the Cardinals
and Red Sox will air on NBC at 1:30, pre-empting
"Let's Make A Deal," "Days Of Our Lives," "The Doctors,"
Another World," "You Don't Say!" and "Match Game"
on Ch. 10, all except "Match Game" on Ch. 12 (Merv
Griffin will be pre-empted in Richmond). Ch. 3 in Harrisonburg
will pre-empt "As The World Turns," "Days Of Our Lives," "The
Doctors," "General Hospital," "Edge Of Night," and "Secret Storm."

Re: Retro: Eastern Virginia Monday, October 9, 1967
Who was the first Virginia station to go all local color? For years I believed that honor had went
to WAVY but recently I was told by family in Roanoke that WDBJ had went color as early as 1964.
Of course I wasn't around back in those days so I don't know.
Richmond's WTVR....recently they expanded their viewing area by appearing on cable as far
north as Winchester..all the way to the West Virginia state line. Dittos with Charlottesville's WVIR
NBC 29. I was shocked to see both stations on cable at my sister's house which is only a few feet
away from the West Virginia state line. Four NBC affiliates..one cable system..WHAG, WVIR,
WBAL and of course WRC and for CBS..WUSA, WJZ and now WTVR. Not too many of those
around anymore.

Re: Retro: Missouri Sat, Oct 20, 1962
I thought "American Bandstand" was still on Monday-Friday
in 1962, and didn't cut back to Saturdays only until the fall
of 1963.
Also, re KRCG's telecast of "The Roy Rogers And Dale Evans
Show" (a delay, since the show aired on ABC at 6:30 CT):

is that Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez where you have Jose Gonzalez
Gonzalez? I would think it was Pedro, since he parlayed his
appearance on Groucho's "You Bet Your Life" into a reasonably-
successful show business career.

TVG had it listed as Jose, he was listed as a comedian and he also sang Beer Barrel Polka with
Roy. Other than that, you know as much about it as I do

I did some checking; Jose was Pedro's brother and was
quite visible in various guest appearances on sitcoms,
Westerns, and dramas from the '50s to the '70s. He
died in 2000, age 78.

Re: Retro: Central Virginia Mon, Sept 16, 1985
Re: WTTG/WDCA..I don't recall if they did this in the summer of 1985 but for a time in the early
80s both stations would offer "Youth Watch". "Youth Watch" was nothing more than WDCA and
WTTG's way for them to stop airing certain shows for the summer in favor of shows they felt
would attract the children such as The Six Million Dollar Man, Star Trek and the Bionic Woman.
While Star Trek does appear on these listings on WTTG, I just don't remember if that was still
part of "Youth Watch on Metromedia 5" but I do have on tape ( though I havent seen it for
several years ) of The Six Million Dollar Man tape off of WTTG from 1983 that opened up with
the Youth Watch logo. The same logo FWIW that was used on WDCA as well.
I assume that Youth Watch was strictly a "DC thing" since in the past I had chatted with people in
New York who don't remember ever seeing WTTG's sister station in DC WNEW channel 5 ever
doing this.

Then wouldn't the program have been called "Entertainment This Week"? ;D It has to be that
day's "Entertainment Tonight" in that timeslot.
By the way, no listings for Channel 28 in Raleigh in this edition? I guess they really were that bad.

If it was, they ran it twice in a row as TVG listed it for an hour ;D As for the lack of the Triangle's
28 in the edition, my guess is it wasn't cablecast in the edition area...

The weekend version is on for an hour (WXII has it Saturdays 7-8),
and TV Guide nearly always listed it as "Entertainment Tonight," even
though--at least at first--it was called "Entertainment This Week."
BTW, "ET" is now in its 30th season, having debuted in 1981.

Did any CBS station that delayed their late show had to carry it a week later instead of a half
hour later?

I didn't live there then, but my electronics instructor in Raleigh related doing a custom indoor
attic antenna installation in Norlina, NC, specifically to receive WPTF-TV 28. He said that that had
a very difficult time obtaining a noise free signal, so I'm guessing 28 didn't have much punch
OTA. The other Triangle and Triad stations probably could be viewed OTA in southside and
central Virginia, subject to terrain issues, of course.

I know that WRAL and WTVD get into Mecklenburg County, VA,
on the North Carolina line; the Triad stations get into Virginia, since
WFMY regularly gives weather information for Patrick, Henry, and
Carroll Counties, as well as the independent cities of Danville and
Martinsville, while WXII gives weather information for Galax.

Sorry to go off topic with this but it has to be asked..but exactly why are Virginia's cities
"independent"? Baltimore and St. Louis are both independent as well but over the years its not
hard to find out but with Virginia its usually "..why silly Virginia is a commomwealth..not a
state?" But if thats the case shoudln't Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Boston, Erie, Louisville and
Lexington be independent cities as well since Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Kentucky, like
Virginia are "commonwealth"...in other words nobody it seems really knows why Virginia's cities
are independent other than "..well thats just the way it is...". ? ? ? ?
It's something peculiar to Virginia: any municipality with
a population over 5000 can split away from its county and
become an independent city, not located in any county.
Sometimes entire counties have become independent cities:
Virginia Beach was once Princess Anne County, Chesapeake

was once Norfolk County, and what is now the independent
city of Suffolk encompasses all of what used to be Nansemond
County (Nansemond County existed when I lived in Virginia Beach
in the late '60s and there were 96 counties in Virginia; now there
are 95). The idea has been in effect since the 1871 state constitution;
for reasons not clear to me, it was a result of the splitting away
of the 58 western counties that now comprise West Virginia (with virtually
no slavery in those counties, they had nothing in common with the rest
of the state and thus formed their own).
It's not the same as localities where the city and county governments
are essentially one, such as Miami-Dade, Nashville-Davidson, Louisville-
Jefferson, Lexington-Fayette. An independent city can be surrounded
by the county from which it separated or, as noted above, the county
can cease to exist altogether.
I suppose there are advantages to not having to pay both city
and county taxes.

Actually Virginia no longer allows towns to become independent cities. Not sure when the cut
off date was but today there are some rather big 'towns" in Virginia that are bigger than many of
those so-called "independent cities". Blacksburg comes to mind as does Leesburg. Front Royal is
getting up there and considering all those lawsuits and fighting between them and Warren
County, I am sure Front Royal would love to become independent..but Virginia won't allow it.
Also despite being independent many cities in Virginia are still considered "county seats" and
they still continue to get at least some county funds even if the city isn't part of the county.
Example..Harrisonburg and Rockingham County.
You are right it is very peculiar. However something tells me back in 1871 ( though I had thought
it was much later than that )..race was the reason why in Virginia cities and counties are
seperated.

It is true that independent cities can be county seats,
although they are not part of the county when it comes
to government services, etc.

West Virginia became a state in 1863, so those western
counties seceded from Virginia (again, remember, little or
no slavery) during the Civil War. How that impacted the
decision to create independent cities, I have no idea.
I also didn't know that Virginia no longer allows the creation
of new ones. Thanks for that bit of info.

There are a few exceptions though such as fire, police and rescue. Wasn't always that way
though. Back in 1991 a man had a heart attack in a parking lot of a Holiday Inn in Frederick
County, VA. Not only was the Holiday Inn was only a few feet from the Winchester city limits, but
within site of the Winchester City rescue squad. Because the vicitim was in the "county" the
rescue squad in the "city" wasnt allowed under Virginia law to help. To may a long story short it
took the county rescue squad THIRTY MINUTES to reach the vicitm so as a result he had died.
Had the city was allowed to help chances are he would had lived since they were, well just down
the street not several miles away. Anyway the victim's family filed suit against the
commonwealth of Virginia, city of Winchester and county of Frederick and not only did they win
but changed policy too.
Today regardless of location ( city or county ), in most parts of Virginia its a question who can get
there first not where they are based out and hope for the best.
2:00 Love Songs
Was this an infomercial for the old "Secret Love" music compilation from Time-Life or whoever
released that set? Given how it's scheduled between Merv and kiddie fare, I'd imagine it was not
a half-hour of music videos, per se.
If my memory serves me right, "Love Songs" was a syndicated music show from the producers
behind USA Network's "Night Flight" and "Radio 1990." They had a couple other syndicated
music shows on the air, if I recall correctly.

10:30 Good Company (delay from Thu, Oct. 5, 10 PM)
Now that's a strange! Any idea why the WXEX delay was nine days, while WVEC did
only a two-day delay? Was WXEX a "bargain-basement" ABC affil, and perhaps had
to get the tape from WVEC? Or worse...had to get a kinnie from the network?
BTW, the WXEX (WRIC) COL was Petersburg. Did they pull a "KTAR-TV Phoenix/Mesa"
(COL Mesa, now KPNX Mesa) legal ID type scam too?

More and less yes.
From the many of times I had visted Richmond back in the 70's and 80's it was "WXEX-TV 8
Petersburg-Richmond" though I don't recall ever seeing anything on air or in their listings doing
anything strictly for Petersburg other than news stories on "TV-8 Eyewitness News"..actually
until the mid 80's I had no idea WXEX wasn't licensed to Richmond and to this day I wouldn't be
surprised if the locals don't know it either unless the pay attention to the legal ID. I can see why,
the call letters stand for RIChmond and their studios are in Richmond too. Even back in the 70's
and 80's WXEX sure promoted themselves as being Richmond, I can still recall that old promo
showing the WXEX chopper "TV8 Eye in the Sky" zig zagging around the skycrapers of downtown
Richmond.
Even though WXEX back in the 60s & 70's ( some say even today ) was a third rate station..WXEX
had more than made up for it in radio. While WRVA ( WWBT ) and WTVR of course both had
successful radio outlets in their own right, however WXEX 's radio sister back then was the
famous WLEE-AM, Richmond's version of New York's "music radio" WABC-AM and until the mid
70's I am pretty sure ( so I had been told ) that WLEE was number one in that market. Oddly
enough it was WRVA launching "Q94" that killed WLEE but by then ABC was doing better in the
ratings so it balanced it out for WXEX. By then WXEX really didn't need WLEE.

WXEX was listed in TV Guide as "Richmond-Petersburg" at the time. I'm not sure
why "Good Company" was delayed a week there (possibly they couldn't tape the
show and air it two nights later), but I do know that it aired in
black and white on WXEX; in color on WVEC, and the show itself was in color.
Then again, I have a 1972 listing from Atlanta, wherein Ch. 11 shows daytime
"Love, American Style" on a week delay, but "Password" on a day-behind. Go figure.
I really wonder about WXEX's capability of taping and delaying shows in those days;
"Good Company" was the only ABC show that aired on delay there, and I think the
religious program "Directions" was pre-empted, but IIRC, everything else aired in pattern.
WNBE (now WCTI) New Bern, NC, was another example; the only time I remember an ABC
show being delayed there in the '60s was "Supermarket Sweep" in the summer months when
Ch. 12 carried everything an hour earlier. "Sweep" should have aired at 10 AM, but Ch. 12
had a movie from 9-10:30, so "Sweep" aired at 4 PM...on kine. Maybe that's what happened
with Ch. 8 and "Good Company". If anybody knows if WVEC was feeding both stations I'd
like to know about it myself.

We lived in the area during the early-mid 70's and yes, WXEX used to ID as "WXEX Petersburg-
Richmond" just as they were supposed to per being licensed to 'serve' Petersburg. Given that
their transmitter was located well south of Richmond (towards Petersburg, Hopewell and
Chester), their over the air signal in most of the Richmond area was inferior to that of WWBT
(NBC) and WTVR (CBS) which both blanketed Richmond and its immediate suburbs. Of which
there were fewer than today; for example, Hanover County was generally farms and woods and
was thought of as being 'out there'. Now, that area is quite suburban and isn't even thought of
being far out at all.
As nobody had cable back then, only about 20-25% of the market got a signal from WXEX that
was the equivalent of what the other 2 offered. Furthermore, during the early 70s, ABC's color
system was still not as good as that of NBC or CBS. I distinctly recall the color appearing to be a
bit washed out on ABC programs and not just at WXEX but on other ABC stations as well. This
was something that the adults around me commented on - how (in their minds) NBC had "the
best color" while ABC was the "worst".
One last thing about WXEX, it was a lower budget operation than channels 6 and 12, but they
still offered a full slate of newscasts that were roughly of the same calibre as their competition.
Famously, their weathercaster (Spencer Christian) even went on to Good Morning America and
acted as their weather guy for a number of years. Their newscasts (were they Eyewitness News?)
had a couple more stories from Petersburg/Hopewell/Chester than the others but never
neglected Richmond in the way that WTNH New Haven long ignored Hartford.
As an aside, I always loved the name of WWBT-12's newscasts of that era: "The Scene Tonight"
along with equally cheesy intro music. But, then again, they were #1.....

Did the B&W airing on WXEX look like tape or a kinnie? Since both stations ran the (delayed)
show at the same time, if WVEC fed WXEX you'd think Petersburg would see the same show,
and in color. Otherwise, WXEX may have been using an Ampex 1000 or 1100 that hadn't been
modified to play back (low-band) color, but why they delayed it nine days...?
WNBE (now WCTI) New Bern, NC, was another example......in the summer months when Ch. 12

If anybody knows if WVEC was feeding both stations I'd like to know about it myself.
We've discussed before the WNBE "early prime" during pre-1967 summers (VA=EDT, NC=EST);
this gives more to the theory that WNBE had a microwave link from WVEC for ABC rather than
its own Telco line.

like to know about it myself.
We could often pick up a snowy WVEC and it did not seem to be feeding WXEX or vice versa - the
local programming blocks were quite different (at least in the 1970s).
Even though WXEX back in the 60s & 70's ( some say even today ) was a third rate station..WXEX
had more than made up for it in radio. While WRVA ( WWBT ) and WTVR of course both had
successful radio outlets in their own right, however WXEX 's radio sister back then was the
famous WLEE-AM, Richmond's version of New York's "music radio" WABC-AM and until the mid
70's I am pretty sure ( so I had been told ) that WLEE was number one in that market. Oddly
enough it was WRVA launching "Q94" that killed WLEE but by then ABC was doing better in the
ratings so it balanced it out for WXEX. By then WXEX really didn't need WLEE.
By the 1970s, WLEE wasn't doing much for WXEX - there wasn't all that much cross promotion as
I recall. WLEE still had more listeners than WRVQ (which was already more of a rock-40) prior to
1976, but they were dropping fast by then. Unlike WABC, WLEE didn't have a strong full-market
day and night signal and that hastened its decline.
ABC started to really take off with the advent of Happy Days, Barney Miller, Starsky and Hutch,
The Streets of San Francisco, Mork and Mindy and a number of other popular shows during the
mid and late 1970s and they quickly ascended to the number 1 slot - particularly with younger
demos. By then, content would overrule those signal issues for WXEX.

WXEX/WRIC had used the Eyewitness News name for over 20 years ( 1972-1993 ) give or take a
year or two though.
I do believe however that Norfolk's WTKR and Richmond's WRIC did drop the name "Eyewitness
News" at around the same time though ( 1993, maybe early 94 ). Years ago on tvnewstalk.net
somebody had posted that the decision for both stations to mae the change was that
Washington DC's WUSA had "exclusive rights" tho the name Eyewitness News in Virginia so both
stations were forced to drop it or be sued.
No I don't buy it for a second. After 20 years of using the same news title I am sure WRIC felt it
was time for a change. Now for WTKR considering they only used the name for two years and
they ratings improved a bit during the time...I guess there could be a story there...someplace.

I lived in Norfolk, not Richmond, and never had any luck picking up WXEX, so I can't say whether
the "Good Company" telecast was tape or kine. It would seem that WXEX should have been able
to tape and play back the show on a two-night delay, which makes me wonder if they had to
wait for a kine from ABC.

Back in the 80's ( 1984 to be exact ) I can remember staying at the long defunct Emperis Motel
on the oceanfront in Virginia Beach just down the street from the old Seaside Amusement Park.
At the time the TV in the room was straight out of the 60's..black and white and only offered
WTKR, WAVY and WVEC and nothing else. However on my battery operated color set I was able
to get of course the other Hampton Roads channels ( WYAH, WHRO and WTVZ ) and the
Richmond stations too ( WTVR, WWBT and WXEX..maybe WRLH but I don't remember about
that one ). However more interesting and oddly enough Salsbury, MD's WBOC and WMDT not
only did they come in clear as a bell but even better than Richmond stations. My cousin who had
a condo in Norfolk back in the late 80s I can remember telling me that she could pick up
"everything" from Richmond as well as Norfolk and the eastern North Carolina stations..and
Durham's WTVD but nothing out of Maryland including Salisbury..though once I think she did
managed to pick up WMAR for a bit. She passed away some years back so of course I can't ask
her now..just recalling what she had told me 20 years back.
Retro: Melbourne/Gippsland, Australia Wed, Oct 16, 1974
from TV Week-Victoria edition
Australia was still in the lead-in to "C-Day" on May 1, 1975 with most programs still in B&W,
Australia's participation in the Vietnam War was the major reason for it taking so long for full
color service as the then-Prime Minister felt the war effort took priority to color TV

Re: Retro: Melbourne/Gippsland, Australia Wed, Oct 16, 1974
ahh.....Channel 0, the most engaging thing about classic Aussie television!
What a great show, that "Test Pattern". They should have exported that show.
They already did -- many stations opt to show it unscheduled, before and after the broadcast
day. ;D

Re: Retro: Southern Quebec Sat, Oct 16, 1993
As always, thanks again for the opportunity to give my high school French a workout!
What sort of ratings did those Battle of Quebec games between the Canadiens and Nordiques
draw?
Bet it had to be huge! I am hopeful that someday after they get their new arena the NHL will
return
to Quebec City. Those games were so much fun to watch, even for those of us located far south
of the
49th. parallel.
8:00 World Series-Game 1: Philadelphia v Toronto, the Jays won 8-4 and would take the Series in
6 games (FYI, RDS held the French rights in Canada)
Wow. The World Series back when it didn't fall into November (a.k.a. a Sweeps month). Thanks
for the memories!
And even better...the Series was done in 7 days, they only took the 18th and 22nd off. Toronto
hosted the first 2 games, then to Philly for 3, and finally back to SkyDome for Game 6.

What a convenient time to schedule the double entendre comedy, right in the middle of the day
- and an hour before cartoons, no less! :
Funny, I was thinking the same thing when I saw that ;D
Given that Benny Hill's show was something of a live-action cartoon at times (with some gags
lifted wholesale from Tex Avery cartoons* and the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts of
Warner Bros. - not to mention the Marx Brothers' Duck Soup), in a way it fit.
* Like the hospital chase sequence where Benny removed a hair from a projection gate - stolen
directly from the scene in Avery's 1952 MGM 'toon Magical Maestro.

Now, whose bright idea was it to schedule "Love Boat" and "Divorce Court" back-to-back?
The only thing worse would be to sandwich The Newlywed Game in the middle. <LOL>
Or how about Pittsburgh's KDKA airing a talk show where the topic was VD just after Captain
Kangaroo? That was in the 1968 Pittsburgh listings I had posted over the weekend.

4:35 Special Squad
Unless I'm mistaken, the "Special Squad" mentioned refers to an Australian cop show that aired
on Australia's Ten Network fron 1983-1985. If I recall, the show was an Aussie version of the
British action drama The Professionals, was set in Melbourne and starred John Diedrich, Alan
Cassell, and Anthony Hawkins. And one other thing, it was produced by Crawford Productions, a
company whose biggest claim to fame is having produced the first truly great Aussie TV show,
Homicide (no relation to the 1993-1999 NBC crime drama that was similarly titled Homicide: Life
on the Street which featured, among its ensemble cast, Andre Braugher, Yaphet Kotto and
Richard Belzer to name a few).
I just noticed something else:

8:00 Double Dare
8:00 Double Dare
Was this in the very early days of CBS synergy? ;D
This was, in fact, a crime drama set in San Francisco about a thief who was later recruited as an
undercover cop, a la "It Takes a Thief":
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088508/
It doesn;t help that this short-lived series debuted a year before the well-known Nickelodeon
show.
Call it a case of very bad timing.

I met the "Star" of the show, Mary Bellows, at a promo event for her book. She was a very lovely
lady, too bad I was a star struck stammering fool when it was time to get an autograph, I was 20
years old back then and unfortunately I haven't changed that much over the years.

Re: Retro: Netherlands Sat, Oct 21, 1989
That's quite a variety and number of stations. I take it some are commercial free as their
running times are odd (25 minutes, 22 minutes). Must be a lot of channel surfing over
there (and confusion)........Does my show start at 7:06 or 7:11, I can't remember?

Re: Retro: Western Massachusetts Wed, Oct 5, 1988
3:00 Baseball Playoffs: NLCS-Game 2: LA vs Mets; the Dodgers would take the pennant in 7
games
Normal: 3pm General Hospital, 4:00 Donahue, 5:00 Oprah, 6:00 News
8:00 Baseball Playoffs: ALCS-Game 1: Oakland-Boston, the Sox got swept in 4
Actually, the Oakland-Boston ALCS Game 1 was played at 3PM. I was at Fenway for this game,
and the image of Wade Boggs taking 3 strikes down the middle from Dennis Eckersley in the last
of the 9th remains with me, not to mention chanting "Steroids!" at Jose Canseco, who
responded with a home run, and some well-timed muscle flexes at the crowd.
Also, the Mets-Dodgers Game 2 starting time was delayed on ABC until 10 PM, after the Vice
Presidential debate, and was the 1st time a MLB west coast playoff game was started at night, as
opposed to the 5:15PM-5:30PM PDT start times. Met pitcher David Cone got knocked around by
the Dodgers after he made disparaging remarks to a NY newspaper about the Dodgers' chances
in the series.

9:00 Vice-Presidential Debate (Texas Democrat Sen. Lloyd Bentsen and Indiana Republican Dan
Quayle square off in Omaha; this was also cablecast by CNN and C-SPAN)
This would be the famous one where Bentsen glared at Quayle and shouted "You're no John

Interesting that even in 1948, you could see CBS News with Douglas Edwards, Buffalo Bob Smith
(both doing his children's show and apparently a nighttime variety show) and Paul Wintchell and
his puppets.
I notice Mary Wickes was a guest on a variety show. She was in a million TV shows and movies
playing a supporting role as a not-so-nice neighbor or secretary. She also played the nun in
charge of the choir in Sister Act with Whoopi Goldberg. And she was sometimes on the panel on
Match Game.
I wonder what TV penetration was in 1948? 15%, maybe? My dad says before he had TV, it was
popular in bars and taverns so guys could watch sports while ordering beer or drinks. But only
the wealthy and maybe a few technophiles actually had TV in their homes before the 50s.

As a sidebar, one of the co-stars of one of the films shown by WCBS-TV that night, Marsha Hunt
(who was co-star of the 1939 film Long Shot), is still alive and well at the age of 93.
Mary Wickes, who was mentioned above, was active in TV and film right up to the time she
passed in 1995 at the age of 85.
Talk show host Jack Eigen, who hosted a 15 minute program weeknights on Channel 5, also had a
two hour late night radio show on WINS in New York, moving to WMAQ in Chicago in 1951 and
later to Miami, where he died in 1983 while still carrying a nightly radio show. Mike Nichols
made Eigen one of his favorite early satirical targets, doing an impression of him as "Jack Ego."

4-Paul Winchell and Dunninger (variety); Alfred Andriola, Gene Autry Rodeo Girls, guests
...now this is an odd combination, a ventriloquist and a mentalist. Dunninger's act was
mercilessly satirised by Johnny Carson on The Johnny Carson Show as "Dillinger," and IIRC
Dunninger threatened legal action, leading Carson to change the character's name to El Moldo
by the time he took over The Tonight Show (a Time magazine article claimed the character was
Ed McMahon's personal favourite)...

...at the time of this schedule, he was also frequently mentioned nationally on NBC Radio as a
result of Fred Allen's fascination with unusual-sounding names, and in fact Eigen had been the
guest on http://www.archive.org/download/Fred...tJackEigen.mp3 the June 6, 1948 broadcast of
The Fred Allen Show...

Re: Retro: EASTERN WASHINGTON, Friday August 9th, 1968
"Treasure Isle" aired on ABC from Dec. 18, 1967-Dec. 27, 1968.
It was billed as "television's first outdoor game show," originating
at the Colonnades Beach Hotel in Palm Beach Shores, FL. John
Bartholomew Tucker was host. The format was fairly complicated:
two couples, the men in rafts and the women on-shore directing them,
tried to pick up as many pieces of a jigsaw puzzle floating in a lagoon
as possible within a brief time limit. In round two, they returned to land
to piece the puzzle together; it formed a riddle which suggested a person,
place, or thing. In round three, they went back into the
water to find the answer (placed on a buoy); first one to ring a ship's
bell and give Tucker the answer won, then the winning couple went on
a three-minute treasure hunt, with clues to the location of prizes hidden
around "Treasure Isle." Got all that? Apparently a lot of people didn't.
You can find out more in "The Encyclopedia of TV Game Shows" by Schwartz,
Ryan, and Wostbrock.
After this series ended, Tucker co-hosted "The New Candid Camera" for about
a year (1974-75); he's probably best remembered as the voice of Dirt Devil and
Owens-Corning (with the Pink Panther).

he's probably best remembered as the voice of Dirt Devil and Owens-Corning (with the Pink

Besides what was mentioned, Tucker was also an early member of the Eyewitness News team on
WABC-TV in New York (c.1969-70); as well as the first host of a morning series called A.M. New
York from its 1970 debut until 1972 when he jumped ship to WCBS-TV to host his own show
there. A.M. New York is seen not only as a forerunner to Good Morning America, but also one of
many ancestors to today's Live with Regis & Kelly. (Tucker was not the only A.M. New York host
to go to another network O&O, albeit the same one; so did Stanley Siegel who hosted WABC's
show from 1976 to 1978, towards the end of his stint with the program as The Stanley Siegel
Show which was also the title of a show he hosted after likewise going to WCBS-TV.)

No, but its parent station at the time, KTVB Boise, was (and, of course, still is).
KTVR today is one of many stations that are part of the Oregon Public Broadcasting network,
which acquired the station in 1975.

Re: Retro: Western Washington, Tuesday May 31, 1955
Thanks for sharing that. Interesting that local kids shows outnumbered local newscasts. Channel
11 (KTNT) 9:30 news with Sam Rinaker...I assume that was local. "Sports Screen" on KING with
O'Mara, (Bill O'Mara). Five minute program! A different world back then. KIRO had yet to sign-
on, historians will note there was a time when KIRO and KTNT were BOTH CBS in the late 50's.

When did KIRO sign on?
Also, I noticed that this night's episode of "Danger"
was the show's last. Anyone know what replaced it
the following week? That's right; it was "The $64,000
Question."
I also noticed one contestant on Ch. 2's "Pick The Stars"
who did achieve some fame: the Amazing Randi. IIRC, he's
the one who offered a fantastic sum of money to anyone who
could prove his mind-reading act was a fake. No one ever
collected.

I believe KIRO signed on in 1958. This brought two CBS affiliates to the market from 1958 to 1964
or so, when Bonneville bought KIRO. I wasn't around back then, so I'm not sure whether CBS had
a "difficult" signal in Seattle, with Tacoma being the nearest affiliate. Nonetheless, when KIRO
came on, KTNT suffered. Later, it went indie, but in a weird coincidence, became the CBS affiliate
in the 90's as KSTW. That only lasted a year or two, and KIRO got the CBS affiliation back.

That's right, that's when J.P. Patches ruled the airwaves, on twice a day, and children
programming was never the same.

Re: Retro: North Texas--Tue, Mar 16, 1971
Two possible reasons for the low clearances on
"Hee Haw": (1) the Grammy Awards, (2) ABC's
"Movie Of The Week" usually aired at 7:30 (CT)
and was a monster hit for the then-third-place
network. (Don't forget that Tuesday's block of
"Mod Squad," "Movie Of The Week," and "Marcus
Welby, M.D." was ABC's strongest in those days.)
However, when "Hee Haw" went into
syndication there were few if any Texas markets that
didn't carry it Saturdays at 6 (CT), which was not true
of Lawrence Welk.
"Hillbillies" is not the name for CBS's daytime reruns of
"The Beverly Hillbillies"; I suspect some editor was trying
to save some space; likewise, with "Make A Deal" instead
of "Let's Make A Deal." I remember the Northern Alabama
edition listing "Marcus Welby" instead of "Marcus Welby, M.D."
I also noticed the name Ed Brandon. Is this the
same as the KTRK anchor?

You mean KTRK in Houston? I sure don't know. Any of you long, tall Texans have any idea inside
those ten-gallons of yours?

CORRECTION: At 12 Noon, KXII's "Twelve Acres" did NOT broadcast in color. The station
apparently did not yet have local color capability, as none of its newscasts or other local
originations were all in B&W. Apologies.

Was Dark Shadows in color at that point? My memory, which may be failing me now, seems to
indicate that it was one of the very last black and white shows - and was shown in glorious black
and white into the early 1970s.

...exaberated by the fact that this combination of programs aired five times that day --
apparently, KLRN had a rather thin in-school schedule back then. That, or they really want to
hammer the anti-drug message into viewers' heads (with "Earth Science" and "Uncommen Men"
being filler).

As I understand it, pretty much all of the Big Three's daytime output was in color by no later than
1968. What you remember were either the first two years or so of "DS", or watching the later
years (or even the episodes in syndication) on a B&W set. The networks then proudly brandished
their color capabilities in program intro bumpers (e.g., the NBC peacock), so I seriously doubt
that any first-run (as opposed to some sitcom reruns) daytime shows still shot in B&W, and
certainly not by 1971.
Any and all B&W shows from this listings were old movies, old sitcoms, most public TV
broadcasts (they were, of course, usually several steps behind their commercial brethren
technically), and small-market stations like KXII in Ardmore/Sherman/Denison. Of course, a
majority of Americans still had B&W sets, but the networks knew the future.

Both issues you raise, about the anti-drug propaganda and a seeming loop of in-school
segments, can likely be blamed on the Texas Board of Education. I suspect Texas' conservative
(i.e., Southern) state government at the time really put down the hammer on superintendents,
principals, and teachers to lecture kids about the dangers of marijuana and LSD. This was a time,
remember, of great animosity toward the "counter-culture" and hysterical fears emerged among
parents and authority figures about drugs supposedly bombing teenagers' brains out--long
before Nancy Reagan made "just say no" a catchword. Also note the special at 6:30 p.m. on
Austin's KHFI about the very same thing. One wonders if showing a 1960s episode of "Dragnet"
might not have done more good (!)
As I remember things from elementary school in Alabama, ETV lessons were broadcast to
accommodate varying classroom schedules. If, say, science was first period in some districts, a
lesson would run at 9:15 a.m. or so. For those schools holding those classes after lunch, the ETV
station would run the same lesson at 12:45 p.m., or so on. Now, with DVD and Tivo, PBS stations
no longer, of course, need to run in-school broadcasts OTA, and, in fact, from the 1990s until
very recently, stations began scheduling them in the overnight hours for teachers to record on
their VCRs at broadcast at their discretion, instead of having to schedule lectures and schoolwork
around airtimes, as was the case from the 1950s to the 1980s.

Those heavy-handed, unintentionally campy anti-drug episodes of Dragnet would probably have
as much of a deterrent effect on young people as the classic movie "Reefer Madness" -- i.e., little
to none. :

You're right about the post 1968 episodes being in color, but I specifically recall seeing some in
black and white in 1970 or so. This (http://www.darkshadows.com/main.html) website explains
that some episodes were also kinescoped in black and white, which may explain what I saw. We
had a color TV; my folks had one for as long as I can recall. I even remember that bright lights
(like the flickering flame of a candle) overwhelmed the black and white camera and showed up
with a black shadow. That plus the organ made for a really creepy show!

The apostrophe beside my comment is a snark, a way of expressing my sarcastic sense of humor.
I intended for people to read it just like you did. Of course kids thought Jack Webb was the
consummate square, a fuddy-duddy through and through--and so did his admirers.
You can also tell from these postings that I am one of that rare breed, a Webb fan, mainly of his
shows from Dragnet 1967-70 onward. Don't ask me why, I just am--chalk it up to a guilty
pleasure, I guess.

It's weird to see (7) KLTV without listings for their long-running ag show, Farm & Ranch News;
much less their afternoon syndie blocks of either Star Trek, Bonanza, or The Big Valley (they'd
plow through all the eps of one show, then start 1 of the others); or their 6:30 long-running
airings of Truth or Consequences. I do remember their years of trying to cram as much ABC and
NBC daytime they could in during the day...all that would end when soaps started going to an
hour long, and by the end of the 1970s, KLTV would finally decide on mainly ABC lineups among
their dayparts. Even though the channel list showed (7) to include CBS, KLTV usually only made
use of the Eye to show Dallas Cowboys games (they were one of the closest stations to Dallas to
show a Cowboys game, which proved valuable for those in the DFW area trying to find an
alternate if a Cowboys game were to be blacked out).
"Hillbillies" is not the name for CBS's daytime reruns of
"The Beverly Hillbillies"; I suspect some editor was trying
to save some space; likewise, with "Make A Deal" instead
of "Let's Make A Deal." I remember the Northern Alabama
edition listing "Marcus Welby" instead of "Marcus Welby, M.D."
I remember many TV Guides with title listings that seemed like the publishers/printers were in a
hurry. Any title starting with 'The...' usually excluded the 'The'. Example --listings for The Doctors
would list as 'Doctors--serial'. Sometimes the description of the show (movie, comedy, serial,
news, etc) was excluded. I don't remember specifically about the treatment of The Beverly
Hillbillies, but a shortening to just 'Hillbillies' (or the other example about Let's Make a Deal)
wouldn't surprise me.

AFAIK, all DS episodes were produced and broadcast by the network in color -- however, some of
the episodes only survive today as B&W kines (that would have been bicycled to small-market
stations with no AT&T hook-up). DS actually has a remarkably good preservation rate for soaps of
the era -- the color tapes still survive for most eps, most of the remaining shows survived as
kines, and just ONE show is technically "lost," although an audio recording survives and was
mated with publicity/production stills for syndication.

I read somewhere that the first few months of "Dark Shadows" were broadcasted in black and
white, with color coming later on. The first color episode featured the announcer proudly saying
that Dark Shadows was now in color. (Of course, the only surviving copy of the first color episode
was a B&W kinnie.)

(7) [7] <7> (8) (10) (12) Grammy Awards--13th annual presentation with Andy Williams hosting
and Duke Ellington and John Wayne (?) presenting; for first time, winners were kept secret
before air time {COLOR}
These were also the first ever live Grammys to be telecast.
ABC had them at first, then they dropped them in 1973 when they learned that that year's show
would take place in Nashville. That led to the American Music Awards (created by Dick Clark) in
the Grammys' place.
NBC didn't want them (they had the Academy Awards at that time), so producer Pierre Cosette
some sort of bedroom meeting with CBS president Bob Wood convincing his network to pick up
the rights to the Grammycast; the rest was history.
On an ironic note: Some 30-odd years later, the CMA Awards would be moved from CBS to ABC!

And yet WEZF had no problem clearing two hours of "The PTL Club" every day... Oh, and I love
the lead-in to the network program "Good Morning America" - "Good Morning Jesus"... Was
that a local show?

Unbelievable that Channel 2, then the NBC affiliate in Atlanta, bumped Jack Paar for a local
movie, thus allowing then-ABC affiliate Channel 11 to pick it up.
And to rub more salt in the would, apparently the WLWA channel 11 transmitter could not yet
pass color, even from a network.
My guess is that, after the disaster of "Tonight: America
After Dark" in 1957, Ch. 2 and a lot of other NBC affiliates
decided to do their own thing and shied away from Paar.
You'd think, given Paar's success, that Ch. 2 would eventually
have picked him up, but it didn't happen. Ch. 2 did carry
Johnny Carson from 1962 until the affiliation change in 1980,
when he moved to Ch. 11.

Macon sure was late getting on the TV train. Chattanooga had all 3 networks, Macon had one.
Looked up their populations in 1960..........metro Chattanooga had 279,000 and metro Macon
had 178,000. Guess that 100K really made the difference.
I think metro Chattanooga is still about 100K above Macon today, but not sure.

Something's off with KTVU. The list shows Creature Features at 9:00 with sign-off at 11:00.
Unless it was some unusual situation requiring a special early sign off, no major market station in
1973 would have signed off at 11:00.
I believe Creature Features always started at 11:00, so sign off would have followed that at
1:00ish.

TVG had it listed at 9 (and KTVU had an ad for the movie in TVG that week), so I have no idea
what the story is there...the movie was the last program listed ???

As a longtime Bay Area resident, I find those listings fascinating, especially KRON having Dick Van
Dyke and Petticoat Junction....not to mention Doctor Who! I was ubder the impression that
tshow didn't air in the US til about 1978 on commercial channels, with PBS getting it around
1980.

October 30: This Day in TV History (DIY edition)
I couldn't find a Stanislav Oct. 30 TDITVH when searching all the past year's threads, so
apparently another DIY post is in order. I'll start off with a few birthdays, as my time is limited (I'll
add more in the future--feel free to comment/add more events):
1945: Actor/director Henry Winkler (best known as the "Fonz" on "Happy Days" from 1974-84) is
born in Manhattan, NY.
1963: Actress Kristina Wagner (best known in the role of Felicia Scorpio-Jones on "General
Hospital" from 1984-2003) is born in Indianapolis, IN.
1970: Filmmaker, model maker and Discovery Channel's "MythBusters" host Tony Belleci is born
Salvatore Paul Belleci in Monterey, CA.

Re: October 30: This Day in TV History (DIY edition)
...of course, this was also the date in 1938 when Orson Welles produced his adaptation of the
H.G. Wells novella The War of the Worlds on CBS Radio's Mercury Theatre On-The-Air and
dramatised it so vividly that many listeners believed it was the real magilla. Many of the folks
who hook-line-and-sinkered it had tuned over from NBC's Chase & Sanborn Hour. A few years
back, I produced an installment of my own Wisconsin Public Radio series Echoes of a Century
that contained an edited version of what most of the cross-tuners are likely to have heard that
night; an mp3 of that program is downloadable from
http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/program/13189. The panic inspired two notable television
programs, http://www.archive.org/details/Studi...erica_Trembled the 9 September 1957
Westinghouse Studio One drama The Night America Trembled, hosted by Edward R. Murrow
(and, curiously, devoid of any mention whatsoever of Orson Welles), and the 31 October 1975
ABC TV-movie The Night that Panicked America, with Paul Shenar portraying Welles...

I haven't seen The Night That Panicked America
in years and wonder why The History Channel or one
of the Encore channels doesn't show it on Halloween.
It's not the greatest movie, but it does give a sense of
how many people must have reacted to the broadcast.
In the meantime, Woody Allen's "Radio Days" has a
great satire of it; his Aunt Bea's boyfriend (for that night)
has taken her out for skating, oysters, and beer. On the way
home, his car runs out of gas (conveniently?), they turn on
the radio and hear about a Martian invasion, he leaves in a
panic, and she walks six miles back home to Rockaway. When
he calls the next week for another date, she tells the family
to tell him she's married a Martian. Great bit.

Re: Retro: Philadelphia Mon, Oct 31, 1966
On most of the posts like this the network stations are pretty much NETWORK. I tend to look
more at the independents to see what "they" were doing.
Indendent TV 17 and 29 seem to be taking on the network show the locals didn't want.
Independent 48 looks like a kids/cartoon type station for most of the day. Which bring the
questions, what is "Our Miss Brooks" doing on there??? She is following an afternoon grown-up
movie................ I guess this gives the kids a chance to take a nap from 1-3:30 or go with mom to
get their older siblings from school. Bet she rarely saw the ending of those movies!
Are 17, 29, 48 around today? If so, are they independents?

17 and 29 are still around, but they are now MyNetworkTv (17) and a Fox O&O (29).
48 went dark in 1982, as a result of the Field family unable to sell off the station following a feud.
A new channel 48, WGTW, went on the air in 1992 as a cheapie independent; TBN bought the
station few years back and is now their O&O in Philly.

CBS, as I recall, had a few primetime games before ABC
made Monday Night Football into a regular series; I think
some aired in 1967 and '68.
Looking at these schedules, particularly KYW's, I'm reminded
of my high-school days; one of my best friends had moved to
Birmingham from Pottstown, PA, and--knowing my interest in
schedules from different parts of the country--brought me a
Sunday TV insert from the Philadelphia Inquirer. The resemblance
between KYW's daytime schedule and WSB's was amazing (this was
around 1969 or '70), and the fact that some of NBC's games, particularly
"Jeopardy!" and "Who, What Or Where", were airing on independents in
both markets (both affiliates were running news at noon and Mike
Douglas at 12:30 at the time) also struck me. And the thing about it is:
WSB and KYW were not, and are not, sister stations. (In fact, Westinghouse's
other talker at that time, David Frost, aired on WAGA in Atlanta.)

Actually WKBS went dark on August 30, 1983. I am still a bit surprised someone didn't roll tape
that night considering that VCRs at the time were commonplace and also just about everyone in
the area more/less knew when the end of WKBS would take place since it was common
knowledge even among those outside the biz ( KYW Newsradio even announced the time during
their newscast when WKBS would do their final sign-off ). If someone had recorded on their VCR
the night WKBS had said goodbye...I had never seen it.

And earlier in 1966 as well as this October 31 game.
On Saturday night September 10, 1966, CBS had a prime time game. This was just before
the new season began the following Monday, September 12--besides some "advance premiere"
shows on ABC the previous week, and I think Star Blecch began on NBC September 8.
As far as who the teams were, whether it was exhibition or regular season, and the start time,
I can't recall...at least not until I can find my '66-'67 Fall Preview TV Guide.

Thanks ..but I have heard it many times before. I just find it very very strange that, well here is a
very well known television station ( WKBS ) in a major TV market..everyone knew the exact time
they would go off the air for good..yet nobody ( to my knowledge ) had recorded it on video
tape. Hell even that infamous Jessica Savitch on-air meltdown which would take place some
weeks later, even that was captured on tape by a third party even though for the longest time it
was believed to had been lost.
I wonder if WKBS themselves had recorded their goodbye and whoever has the tape now for
one reason or another won't allow it to be shown?

The story I always heard was that CBS was the first network to whom the NFL pitched "Monday
Night Football"; They did indeed try it a few times, but (as the story goes) since Mrs. Paley
complained that it would shove "Gunsmoke" to the side, it didn't happen. Also, from the way the
listings look, the game on this night was in black and white. I thought all network sports by this
time were in color.

Re: Retro: New York City, Wednesday. October 27, 1948

Funny thing is, it looks like a cross between a high speed fax and a Web page...like what you see
when you boot up your browser and log on to a newspaper website. I guess people were even
thinking in 1948 about something like the Web, although back then they used a broadcast
delivery system rather than either dial-up or cable delivery, so interactivity wasn't yet part of the
plan.
Maybe like a one-way WiFi?

With the second season of Doc getting the ax after two months (or less), what replaced it
at 8:30/7:30 on Saturdays--or perhaps I should ask it as "how did all the programming

The changes took place on Nov. 6:
8:30 Bob Newhart
9:30 Alice
10 PM Carol Burnett
On Nov. 10 "The Jeffersons" moved to Wednesday
following "Good Times"; movies filled the 9-11 slot
on Wednesday nights.
Also headed for the scrap heap were ABC's "Holmes
& Yoyo" and "Mr. T & Tina," with their last episodes
airing Dec. 11. ABC tried several sitcoms in the 8-9
slot through the winter and spring of '77 without success.

Hour Glass, with Helen Parrish, on WNBT was the first big-budget hour-long variety show on
network TV, sponsored by Chase and Sanborn Coffee. Television historians now count it as a
prototype for successful variety shows from Milton Berle through Red Skelton to Dean Martin
and Carol Burnett, and its influence is even felt in the formats of contemporary TV talk/variety
shows like The Late Show With David Letterman. It was the first show to be seen by a sizable
multi-city audience, live in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, and Albany, and possibly by
kinescope in Chicago. It only aired for one season (1946-47), not because it failed to draw an
audience--quite the contrary. It was TV's first hit series, visited by major radio stars like Edgar
Bergen and Charlie McCarthy doing their first TV guest shots. And host Helen Parrish was
regarded as television's breakout star, someone who was beginning to draw attention to the
medium and sell TV sets just the way Milton Berle did two years later. But she left the program
to have a baby, and neither she nor Hour Glass returned to the NBC schedule afterward. While
Parrish made occasional appearances after Hour Glass in film and on TV, she never again hosted
a program. She passed away from cancer in 1959 at the age of just 35, survived by her husband,
TV producer John Guedel (best known as Art Linkletter's producer on House Party and People
Are Funny) and two children. TV historians sometimes speculate on what might have been, had
she remained with the show or returned to network series television for the 1947-48 season.

It took awhile (years) for TV to move into the morning hours. Was the move a gradual thing or
did one station suddenly decide to make a big leap (hours) into morning TV? Does anybody
know?
I can just think how thrilled NYC people would be to finally see something/anything on in the
mornings, be it cartoons, news or entertainment.

DuMont's WABD pioneered morning TV way back in 1949, with a lineup of shows aimed at the
homemaker audience that was far ahead of its time, anticipating the sort of thing the big
networks wouldn't get around to doing for at least three more years (NBC's "Today" and "Home"
shows.)
It didn't hurt that WABD's studio was in Wanamaker's department store, providing a steady
stream of product demonstrations and audience participation for that early form of daytime TV.

I noticed that all these stations did not sign on until 12 Noon, in addition to the aforementioned

Stations weren't supposed to broadcast outside those time slots because of the energy crisis

You'd think the station would call the show "Camera Thirteen"...
"Camera Three" was a CBS networked program, which apparently not all affiliates cleared by the
end of the 1970s.

Re: Retro: Maine Sun, Oct 8, 1978
"Camera Three," "Look Up and Live," and "Lamp unto My Feet" were three, 30-minute Sunday
morning programs on CBS. By the late 1970s, very few affiliates cleared the shows, choosing
instead to air paid religious programs. "CBS News Sunday Morning" replaced these three shows
in 1979.

In effect, yes, however "back in the day" CBS aired two cartoons 9-10 AM ET, followed by
Lamp at 10, Look at 10:30 and Camera at 11, followed by Face The Nation live at 11:30/
re-feed at 12:30. Not sure of network service at 12 PM, or how the re-feed went down
during NFL season (assuming NFL pre-game 12:30-1 PM ET).
I believe Sunday Morning has always been fed (live) 9-10:30 AM ET. Not sure when
Face moved up to 10:30 live.

Check me if I'm wrong, but I believe the hour-long block of cartoons got bumped back to 8-9AM
ET when "Sunday Morning" came along. Reruns of "Captain Kangaroo" aired briefly on Sunday
mornings around '84 or so, but I'm not sure if the Captain was fed at 7 or 8AM ET. I think the live
feed of "Face the Nation" moved to 10:30 ET at some point in the early '80s...not sure when. For
a few years in the '80s, CBS aired a public service/religious show at 11AM ET called "For Our
Times."

3:30 Match Game '76 (Richard Dawson, Roz Kelly, Brett Somers,
Charles Nelson Reilly, Jimmie Walker, Betty White)
We should get the panelists in introductory order. I'm going to guess Johnny said...
"Get ready to match the stars......Jimmie Walker...Brett Somers...Charles Nelson Reilly...
Roz Kelly...Richard Dawson...and Betty White......as we play the star-studded, big money
Match Game 76!"

1:30 As The World Turns (Ch. 3 picked it up when
"Days Of Our Lives" went to an hour and WECT
had no choice, as an NBC affiliate, but to carry
"Days".)
So, then, shouldn't the station be listed as (ABC/CBS)? :

WWAY carried only one other thing from CBS: NFL football.
Technically, you may be right, but I've never seen an independent
that picked up a few network castoffs listed as Ind./(fill in network),
and I suppose WWAY didn't consider itself a CBS secondary.
In fact, to compare apples to apples, WMAZ Macon, GA, listed itself
as CBS/ABC for years, but when they got down to only one ABC
program, college football, they began listing themselves as CBS only.

Replaced on the CANCOM network with Toledo's WTOL at the end of 1994, following the big
affiliation switch. CBS shifted back to Detroit in 2001 (I think) when CANCOM moved CBS to WWJ
ch.62. However, to this day, TV Hebdo still lists WTOL for CBS instead of WWJ.

Not at that time. The only US nets listed were ABC/CBS/NBC/PBS. IIRC it was the mid-90s before
Fox became widely available across Canada via Cancom.

Easy to see why WTCG 17 was going so strong at this time......re-run afternoons everybody could
enjoy. And they were all just 30 minutes. No marathons or 2 episodes in a row back then.

Regarding WTVC, I might add that their news operation was known at the time, coincidentally, as
Action News and that the 6pm and 11pm newscasts were anchored by Bob Johnson, Don Welch
and Darrell Patterson. Johnson, who was the primary weeknight anchor, and Welch, who did
weather forecasts around that time, have retired while sportscaster Darrell Patterson is still at
Channel 9 holding down the sports fort every weeknight.
And by the way, I was in Chattanooga a few months back during the summer and watched
Channel 9's 11pm newscast and got to see Darrell in action. As to how I learned about WTVC's
anchor lineup in '76, I learned about it from some clips dating to November of 1976 that I came
across on YouTube.
As a matter of fact, if one types in "wtvc 1976" in the search box on YouTube's website, you can
find video of an almost complete newscast from around that time. I might add that wtih the
advent of YouTube, anything's possible.
Retro: Peoria, IL/Quad Cities, IA-IL--February 8, 1980

affiliate slate for both the Peoria and Quad Cities markets. Listings for HBO, Galesburg Public
Access channel 7, and Chicago stations WGN-9, WTTW-11, WFLD-32, and WSNS-44 were also
listed, the latter three then also carried on cable in the 'Burg):

Re: Retro: Peoria, IL/Quad Cities, IA-IL--February 8, 1980
7AM
4-Morning (likely "CBS This Morning")
No, it was just "Morning" (or, technically, "CBS News Morning"). When "Sunday Morning" began
in 1979, CBS took the concept weekdays as well, with show called by the particular day of the
week ("Monday Morning", "Tuesday Morning", etc.). The weekday editions would soon be called
just "Morning".
11AM
47-(off-air until 3PM--until June 1987 WTVP had no midday programming until 3PM-not even
instructional programs)
Kind of odd for a station to close midday, everyday, no matter what, unlike other PBS stations, in
which, during this period, would have a midday closedown (or start up later) only if school was
not in session. I take it WTVP was hard up on money.
1:30PM
As mentioned in the Corpus Christi thread earlier, AW was 90 minutes through 8/1/1980.

Kind of wondering what this special was all about, since Lucy did not have another series
between the end of "Here's Lucy" (1974) and the start of "Life With Lucy" (1986). In fact, I don't
think Lucy did anything for NBC, other than this special.

For this schedule, I took notes instead of printing out the schedule from microfilm, and I was
only interested in the over-the-air stations, so I don't have this day's listings for the
aforementioned Chicago stations with me. Sorry!

31-Incredible Hulk
Bumped as I just found on Hulu that evening's (2/8/80) episode of "The Incredible Hulk," titled
"Falling Angels" that aired on CBS (well, at least on only one of the two western Illinois CBS
affiliates receivable in the Galesburg area, WMBD in Peoria).

I was always puzzled by WHBF's pre-emption of "The Incredible Hulk." Interestingly (and I think
Tim is aware), both WMBD in Peoria and WCIA in Champaign (sister stations then and now) pre-
empted part or all of the Hulk's first short season beginning in March of 1978. I think WHBF pre-
empted the Hulk for a season or so before bringing it back. If they needed a prime-time spot for
"Hee Haw," seems like they could have found a weaker CBS show to bump. Almost sounds like
the station manager had a personal beef with the green guy.

"Hee Haw," seems like they could have found a weaker CBS show to bump. Almost sounds like

IIRC when I researched this listing I came across a possible (but likely crucial) reason why WHBF
completely bumped the "Hulk" for "Hee Haw" on Friday nights during 1979-80, other than
maybe WHBF management thinking that HH would be a better lead-in to the remaining CBS
Friday night sked of "Dukes of Hazzard" at 8PM and "Dallas" at 9PM: Channel 4 also had the
Quad Cities market's rights to "Lawrence Welk" at the time of this schedule, and they aired it on
Saturday evenings at 6PM (instead of a newscast). (It is virtually common knowledge in the
Midwest that "Hee Haw" and "Lawrence Welk" attracted the same older audience demo). IMO
had ABC affiliate WQAD-8 (while WOC-6 around 1978-80 spent the Saturday 6PM slot airing NBC
Friday 7PM shows they bumped for the likes of Kathie Lee's "Name that Tune," "Bob Newhart
Show" reruns, and "Grizzly Adams") had the QC rights to Welk instead, and they, like WHBF,
chose to air the program at 6PM Saturdays, I could see the Hulk bumped to Saturday evenings
against Lawrence Welk rather than bumped completely. Just my 2 cents worth . . .
"Hee Haw" in the Quad Cities later moved for a time to WOC, and then by the mid-'80s to WQAD
until about the end of its run in 1993 (but I don't remember if the infamous "update" of the
show during 1991-92 and the "Hee Haw Silver" episodes--introduced by Roy Clark--during 1992-
93 aired in the Quad Cities, at least on WQAD).

"Lucy Moves To NBC" came about halfway between the end
of "Here's Lucy" (CBS) and the start of "Life With Lucy" (ABC).
NBC seemed interested in getting her, but the only thing I
remember about this show was a pilot for a sitcom starring
Donald O'Connor, "The Music Mart," where he played the owner
of a music store. The thing was so '50s-ish it's no wonder it
never became a series. And that was the end of Lucy's relationship
with the Peacock Network.
I think a few years earlier Jackie Gleason had made some overtures
to NBC after CBS canceled his Saturday-night show, but nothing ever
came of that. He did a few "Honeymooners" reunion specials (although
with Jane Kean instead of Joyce Randolph) for ABC in the late '70s,
and that was the end of that as well.
It's tough to bring the legends back for one more try.

31-Your World
When did Neil Cavuto start doing local TV in Peoria?
I'm not sure what the "Your World" program listed above was (I tried checking to see if this could
have been a CBS overnight news program that was the predecessor to "Nightwatch," but I
couldn't find any info on it).
I never saw it, but I believe "Your World" was a five-minute vignette aired by WMBD before
signing off. I'm thinking it was a local thing because I don't ever recall seeing it listed on another
station anywhere. They may have aired it at sign-on, as well, but I may be confusing it with
"Inspirations" on WQAD.
CBS had no overnight programming (following "The CBS Late Movie") prior to "Nightwatch," and
WMBD didn't carry that until shortly after the start of the Gulf War in 1991. WHBF has never
carried "Nightwatch" or "Up to the Minute." KHQA in Quincy carried "Nightwatch" from the time
it premiered in October of 1982 until September or so of 1986 (they resumed signing off). They
started carrying "Up to the Minute" back in the '90s at some point, at first signing on with it at
4AM, and then later resuming 24-hour broadcasting.

Just noticed a promo on YouTube for the Feb. 8, 1980 NBC lineup--the subject of this western
Illinois listing--including "Lucy Moves to NBC." The promo comes in the last 20 seconds of this
NBC News Update clip from Sunday, Feb. 3, 1980.

Re: Retro:Cincinnati, Ohio Monday, December 5, 1949 (Evening)
I wonder how many people actually had TV sets there in 1949. Surprisingly, Cincinnati was the
18th largest city in 1950 with a population of 503,998.
I'd guess that maybe 25,000 households had a TV (so maybe 100,000 people????).
TID BIT: In 1860 Cincinnati was the 7th largest city, with a population of 161,044.

Cleveland in 1950 was 7th largest city in population in the US with 914, 808 residents..When
WEWS came on the air in December 1947 there were about 300 TV sets in the whole state of
Ohio..By the end of 1948 there were over 10,000 sets in Cleveland alone..

Was Cincinnati hooked into the coaxial cable? I
noticed several shows (notably "The Goldbergs"
and "Studio One") that aired in pattern.

I think the "Cable" was as far as Chicago at this point..with a Midwest connection that covered
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Toledo and St. Louis..

I noted "The Al Morgan Show" on WCPO-TV - Channel 7 - at 8:30 P.M. His program was seen on
TV here up into the mid-1950's and came, I believe, out of Chicago. He sang and played the
piano while raising his hands high into the air. I once saw him perform on General Electric Day at
the Cincinnati Gardens about 1954. Perhaps his most well-known recording was "Jealous Heart".
Persons from that era still remain fans of Morgan.

Yep. In fact, Pittsburgh and Cleveland were the two cities that bridged the east coast-midwest
groups on January 11, 1949. It also hooked Buffalo up to the network feeds....Which just made
me wonder: For Utica, Syracuse and Rochester, when did THEY get on the network live feed? Did
it come from the east/NYC, or from Buffalo/west, when the midwest hookup was made?

Because it was the home of Procter & Gamble, and because it was one of the few midwestern
cities with three channels as early as 1949, Cincinnati was treated as a major market.
It was fairly strong for DuMont until WCPO agreed to be ABC-primary in 1954. This only came
about because ABC agreed to networkcast a local musical show featuring Dotty Mack, who was a
"special friend" of WCPO station manager Mort Watters.
Cincinnati's Paul Dixon Show was previously carried by the entire DuMont Network, while Ruth
Lyons' 50-50 Club on WLWT was briefly seen on the whole NBC network (it was later carried by a
mini-network of Crosley stations in Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus and Indianapolis).

The line went as far west as Syracuse by the holiday season of 1948, when Syracuse got its first
TV station (WHEN-TV, then on Channel 8). Rochester's first station (the original WHAM-TV on Ch.
6, not to be confused with the current ABC affiliate on ch. 13) didn't sign on until June of 1949
and Utica got WKTV up and running later in '49 as well. They both got their net feed from NYC
most of the time.
Rochester got its second channel (WHEC-TV) late in 1953, Buffalo got a short-lived UHF second
station earlier that same year (WBES) which died within months, another one (WBUF) stayed on
longer and was even an NBC O&O from 1955 to 1958...WGR-TV checked in the following year.
They all got whatever net feeds they had from New York from the get-go.

The stations signed on at 5 PM. I wonder if the schedule gradually got earlier or
did one station suddenly sign on at 2PM and beat the others to the punch?
That would have been a big power play to beat the others into expansion territory.

I take it the "Muppet" in question was not the one created by Jim Henson a few years later.
I'm surprised the creator of these "Muppets" did not sue Henson over the name.
Actually, I misread the listing-It's called, "Moppet Matinee"

Programming was still sparse in the weeks following V-J day--with TV schedules briefer than they
had been in the fall of 1941 at the dawn of commercial TV. First, there were still only a few
thousand operating sets in New York and a few thousand more in a handful of cities with
operating stations across the U.S. at the end of 1945, as manufacture and sale of sets came to a
halt because of the war almost before they began. Second, a significant re-allocation of the VHF
television and FM band was in progress at the FCC which would force suspension of TV
broadcasts for several weeks in the late winter of 1945-46 while the few operating TV stations in
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Albany/Schenectady and Los Angeles retuned their transmitters
to fit their new channels, and set owners prepared to book service calls to adjust their sets to
receive them. It was inevitable that program development would be slowed until the situation
settled, old sets re-adjusted and new sets able to pick up the newly assigned channels were
available. All three New York stations would move. WNBT was moved from Channel 1 to the new
Channel 4 (66-72 mHz, the pre-war channel 3); WCBW from the old Channel 2 (60-66 mHz,
which would be renumbered Channel 3) to a new Channel 2 on the 54-60 mHz band; and WABD
from the old prewar Channel 4 (78-84 mHz) down 2 mHz to the new Channel 5 (76-82 mHz).
When WCBW moved to the new channel 2 early in 1946 it also changed callsign to WCBS-TV. The
other stations changed calls later. Once the re-allocation of the band was complete stations
began to increase their schedules gradually over the next few years, first filling up the evening
hours, then into the afternoons, then mornings, finally late nights, as more sets were installed--
and at the same time, more stations in more cities signed on (including four more stations in
New York, channels 7, 9, 11, and 13, making their debuts in 1948 and 1949).

Re: Retro; New York City, Wednesday, October 31, 1945
Those were the days, weren't they? As a little kid one of the things that I was so curious about,
but never got an answer to, was why there was no channel 1. And, at the other end of the dial, I
was frustrated about not knowing why UHF stopped at 83 (as it did prior to the 1990s).
Nowadays, the kids look at you with amazement when you tell them that there was a time when
most people only got four channels, instead of the 500-750 we have these days.

"As a little kid one of the things that I was so curious about, but never got an answer to, was why
there was no channel 1."
In the first (1946) rewrite of the VHF band, there was a Channel 1, at 44-50 mHz. It was
supposed to be for lower powered small-town "local" stations with 1/5 the authorized power of
the "metropolitan" class stations licensed to larger cities and surrounding suburbs. Some "local"
stations were also allocated on other channels 2-13 as well, and they actually got on the air and
later became full-power stations--but no one ever signed on using the new Channel 1. All the
FMs that started in 1940 and 1941 on the 42-50 mHz band had to be moved up to 88-108 mHz
first, and that wasn't fully accomplished until the end of 1948. By then, TV construction had
been frozen as part of the same second-stage realignment of the VHF band that produced a four
year freeze on new TV stations, an eventual re-assignment of operating stations to different
channels between 2 and 13, and creation of hundreds of new VHF and UHF stations after 1952.
The FCC rethought things, determined that 44-50 was no good for TV (too much skip and
tropospheric ducting) and better suited to lower-power police and fire emergency calls) and
killed Channel 1 for good...meanwhile also deciding that all TV stations should be high power
stations, a policy they wouldn't reverse until LPTV came along in the '80s.
"And, at the other end of the dial, I was frustrated about not knowing why UHF stopped at 83 (as
it did prior to the 1990 s)."
The feds were stretching it by extending things to near 900 mHz back in 1952 and they knew it.
Receiver and transmitter technology was borderline that high up the UHF band; both sensitvity
and stability were iffy then, and UHF in 1952, especially above 600 mHz (approximately channel
36) was a gamble that technology would improve beyond the 1952 state of the art.

No idea about either, but I would suspect that if the show

I can only guess. Channel 2 may have decided to do its
own thing after the "Tonight: America After Dark" disaster
earlier in 1957 (a number of NBC affiliates did); Channel 11,
which would be showing Paar starting around 1958, may have
been locked into movies. Although I think Paar's ratings were
pretty strong from the start (July 1957), previous commitments
had to have played a role in his not airing in Atlanta from the
outset. Channel 2, as I've said before, did run Johnny Carson
from his debut on October 1, 1962 to August 29, 1980; on September
1, 1980, Channel 11 became the NBC affiliate and acquired Carson.

Re: Retro: Vancouver/Victoria Sun, Nov 6, 1977
Thank you for this posting. I would like to read more Vancouver listings please.
I used to watch this show regular along with repeats of The Prisoner (I was 13, at the time of this
listing), I eventually forgot the title of the show, and for years I thought it was just a dream that I
watched it, then I stumbled upon the title on the Internet, went to Youtube, and sure enough it
was not a dream, but a reality!

How much CBS programming was KVOS carrying at this point?
The schedule shows them running "60 Minutes" at 7, but veering off into their own movie for
the rest of prime-time..

If WHAE in Atlanta was "Heaven And Earth", was WHAS 11 in Louisville "Hell And Satan"?

The apparent time discrepancies on WCPO-TV may have been due to the
EasternDaylight/Eastern Standard timeshift. Live programs were telecast at the same time in CDT
and EDT markets, forcing the stations to time-shift the filmed shows. After the switchover to
Eastern Standard in late Oct-early November, the live shows were seen an hour later in EST
markets.

I know that in those days ABC would time-shift its
Saturday-night lineup because of three live shows:
Lawrence Welk, boxing, and "Make That Spare" during
daylight-saving time. But by November Ohio should have
been on EST, with "Beaver" on at 8:30 and Welk at 9
on WCPO. An error on the part of TV Guide, perhaps,
because WCPO didn't get the correct information to them
in time?

WCPO-TV, Channel 9, may have had to some some re-arranging so it could carry the Illinois-
Michigan college football game from the ABC-TV Network and its locally-produced programs
such as TV Dance Party and The Outdoor Rambler. 1960 was the first year that ABC-TV had the
college football game of the week.
I should note that the Cincinnati area did not go on Daylight Savings Time until 1967.

I meant to put it in but for some reason forgot:
the announcers for the Illinois-Michigan game on
ABC (7, 9, 18) were Bill Flemming and Ray Eliot.
There was also a cornucopia of NFL games on Sunday:
2 PM/1 PM Giants-Browns (3, 9, 18)
Packers-(Baltimore) Colts (5, 11, 14, 27--Frankie Albert
and Lindsey Nelson did the game on 5, 14, 27;
Red Grange and George Connor on 11)
(Dallas) Texans-Bills (7)
Redskins-(St. Louis) Cardinals (50)
5 PM/4 PM Oilers-Broncos (9) (I wonder if this game was
joined in progress since Walt Disney is listed
at 6:30 on 9, which would have been in pattern.)

NOW HERE'S A SHOCKER........
Nobody answered my question so I looked it up on Wikipedia. WHAS "unofficially"
stands for "we have a signal".
Now that's original!!!! It was the 2nd TV station in Kentucky. I'm not sure where the
first was, but probably in Louisville also, I'd think.

1948..Interestingly enough the third station in Kentucky didnt sign on till March 15, 1955..WLEX-
18 Lexington..
Actually, WEHT was originally licensed to Henderson and signed on September 27, 1953. The FCC
later allowed WEHT to identify as Evansville for commerce reasons. WKLO-TV 21 Louisville signed
on a month later only to leave the air less than a year later.
As far as the meaning of WHAS, it really never had one from the start. The call letters were
sequentially issued. The convention at the time was the first and third letters were consistent
while the fourth letter advanced. Once the twenty-sixth letter was assigned the second letter
would advance. It's a quick way to know the order of a station that signed on circa 1922-23. For
instance, WBAP, WCAU and WDAF received their call letters before WHAS while WLAP received
their letters after. A few years later you could request a set a call letters if they were not
assigned.

The announcers for the Giants-Browns were: Ken Coleman and Jimmy Dudley. Channels 3, 8, 18
were on the Browns TV Network.
I might want to correct you. Channel 8 should be Channel 9. The nearest Channel 8 lies in
Indianapolis.
Totally correct. I meant Channel 9; just hit the wrong key. WCPO-TV, Channel 9 in Cincinnati, was
on the Browns TV Network for many seasons.
Which originated at WJW-TV 8 Cleveland..Ken Coleman was with the Browns from 1953-65 and
did Indians TV from 1954-63.. as well as nightly sports reports on WNBK and WJW-TV at various
times..Possibly WEWS as well..He also hosted the longtime Browns Highlight Show, "Quarterback
Club" in the 1950's and early 60's..
Jimmy Dudley did Cleveland Indians Radio from 1948-67 and TV at various times during the
same period..He also was a sportscaster at times on WXEL/WJW and WEWS..

Re: Retro: Wisconsin/Western U.P. Michigan Tues, Nov 15, 1966
3:30 pm, WMVS-10: Let's Lip Read. Wow, that one must have been a blockbuster of a show!! I'm
shocked that it didn't go into syndication and reruns! ;D
Fascinating to read through these schedules and to be reminded of how television has changed
over the years. The educational channels, without a PBS, were left to program a relatively
primitive and straight forward slate of purely educational programs that must have been drier
than the Sahara. On the other hand, the network affiliates had programming to cater to every
taste - depending on daypart.
Mass appeal television, which is why it often seems to many of us that there was more to watch
on 3 channels in 1969 than there is on 300 channels in 2010!

Although not listed as such in TV GUIDE, "Marvel Super Heroes" was shown in color on
Milwaukee's WVTV-Channel 18. In fact it was the first locally-originated color program for that
station (which had previously run a few color NBC and CBS shows that hadn't been cleared by
the affiliates).

Re: Retro: Eastern Virginia Friday, November 6, 1970
Kinda surprised the Harrisonburg-Staunton's WVPT isn't listed here since according to WVPT
they had went on the air in 1968.
WSVA's news being in color could be a misprint since according to WHSV when they celebrited
their 50th several years ago, they had went color in 1971. However....memories fade and as I can
recall WHSV had one hell of time finding people who were with that station back in its WSVA
days to be a part of that special broadcast so they had to go by using old photos for the histry of
WSVA-TV/WHSV. I think the only one they had managed to get from "back in the day" was
Suzanne LaValle and she was with WHSV doing the weather in the late 70's.

I think WVPT was listed in the Central Virginia Edition;

TV Guide had a rule that a station had to reach at least
15% of an edition's circulation area before being included,
so it was a few years later that WVPT was added to Eastern
Virginia. BTW, during the time I lived in Virginia Beach (1966-68),
WYAH wasn't listed either.

I noticed "Playschool" listed on PBS before Misterogers. Shouldn't that be Sesame Street?

"Sesame Street" was pre-empted that entire week,

and returned on Monday, November 9. "Playschool"
was an Australian kids' show that had been on there
since 1960, and PBS was obviously giving it some exposure
in the U.S.

2 PM Rollin' (Helen Reddy joins Kenny Rogers and

...considering that "I Am Woman" cracked the Top 10 on Cash Box's singles chart that very
weekend http://cashboxmagazine.com/archives/.../19721111.html it's safe to assume that was
the very reason Reddy was on the show in the first place...

Movies from 7 to 9. I should add that at that point

"The Waltons" was getting clobbered by Flip Wilson,
and that around Christmas an ad ran in The New York
Times, the major newsmagazines, and perhaps other
big-city papers, urging viewers to "Save the Waltons".
No one will ever know if that ad campaign did the trick,
but by the summer of '73 "The Waltons" cracked the
top 20; it was the number-two-rated primetime show for
1973-74, and it knocked Geraldine, Rev. Leroy, et. al., off
the air.
I also didn't realize that "I Am Woman" became the number-
one song that weekend; I knew it was popular at the time,
but that was news to me.

...as far as Cash Box's chart goes, it only cracked the Top 10 that weekend; it didn't hit #1 until
http://cashboxmagazine.com/archives/.../19721216.html December 16, five weeks later. Dunno
what the situation was on the Billboard Hot 100, but I suspect it wasn't radically different...

My mistake; I misread what you put up. Interestingly,
Helen Reddy became so identified with that song that
many people thought she was some sort of radical
feminist; she spent years denying it.

I would imagine that the natives leave the island to visit other places like Japan, Austraila and of
course the mainland.
I know some years back Six Flags and Cedar Fair for a time offered some sort of charterd plane
service from Hawaii to the mainland ( mainly California for Magic Mountain and Knotts Berry
Farm ) for those natives who wanted to get that roller coaster fix since Hawaii despite being a
major tourist attraction..doesn't have any amusement parks.

This may actually be its animated spinoff, "Partridge Family: 2200 AD", which featured the family
about 230 years into the future.

Given the time slot, you're probably right...the Herald's listings weren't what could be called
overly detailed

Wasn't there a law at the time where Canadian cable systems were limited to two US network
affiliates (excluding PBS)? This may explain why there was no NBC.

There never was such a law. Most cities carried at least one, if not two or even three each of the
NBC, CBS, and ABC affiliates. London, Ont. carried three NBC affiliates (WKYC, WDIV, WICU)
originally.
There were, however, some cities located far enough away from the border that only carried a
couple American stations back then; perhaps this was due to the cost of relaying the stations
long distances to areas like St. John's.
From what I've read about Calgary, prior to 1975 both CFAC and CFCN aired very limited local
news, and CBRT aired the market's first hour-long newscast.

The Santa Claus Parade may be Eaton's department store-
sponsored parade in Toronto. CBS used to show highlights
of it on its Thanksgiving Parade Jubilee.
Also, I see International Badminton. Bet that was exciting. :

I can see that Canada was way, way more sexually liberated than Western Pennsylvania
in 1974! Could not have imagined that running here without howls of protest from the PTA
and Knights of Columbus.

Of course, I am curious about what "I, Being a Girl" is about.

Re: Retro: Montreal/Southern Quebec/Ottawa Sun, Nov 16, 1969
I did not realize that the CFL used to run their playoffs on a total point system.
That must have made for some interesting games!
"Well, Gord, today the Roughriders have to beat the Alouettes by at least 75 points
in order to advance to the Grey Cup"....
Who won the game, the Roughriders of Ottawa or the Argonauts?
In game 1 in Toronto: Argos 22-Riders 14
In game 2, Ottawa (6 days later): Riders 32-Argos 3 (Riders won total points 46-25)
The Riders would then beat Saskatchewan 29-11 at the Grey Cup at Montreal's Autostade on the
30th.

What, no WDCA/WETA? I'm sure Winchester cable had them by then, not to mention the big 3
from Baltimore. I guess the Winchester paper's listing was a little scimpy.
At the time of these listings WETA and the Shenandoah Valley's WVPT shared cable channel 12
though more often than not it was WVPT who was seen the most on that channel, not so much
WETA. Actually it wouldn't be until 1983 when WETA finally had their own full-time channel on
the local cable and then it was only due to a request by the local school boards to have another
PBS station available other than just WVPT. Still nonetheless the Star didn't provide listings for
either station until many years later.
WDCA was indeed available on the cable at the time of thse listings as was Baltimore's
WMAR,WBAL,WJZ and WBFF but the paper was, as you say "scimpy" in their TV listings so as a
result the Star didn't provide listings for those channels either.

Re: Retro: Northern Virginia Wednesday, Januaury 31, 1973
I am curious as to what the ABC network aired on this night, as it appears both affiliates resorted
to airing different half-hour shows in the 8 PM hour prior to the ACC basketball game. I would
imagine whatever was scheduled to air on ABC that night was quite long.

No Ed Sullivan at 6? Ah, no Telco line yet.
The transcontinental link wasn't in place until September 1951, although I think the
left coast itself was Telco-connected a bit earlier than that.

Re: Retro: Kentucky Sunday, November 12, 1972
I wonder if WLKY's decision to had picked this movie to air had anything to do with the then-
recent and tragic death of one of the main stars of the movie "Shane", Brandon De Wilde?
Brandon was only 30 and had recently got married only to die in a Denver area motorcycle crash.
Even though Brandon had died in July, I would imagine many were still shocked by the time of
these listings.

John Ray was the football coach at UK, so I think it's safe to assume that Channel 18 was showing
the UK coach's show. Not sure about the show on Channel 27.

1972 was the last year WLEX was the UK station. The coaches show and games moved to WKYT
the following season.
The church service is from Immanuel Baptist Church. This is from the WLEX Wikipedia entry:
First station to air regularly-scheduled church service telecast in Kentucky (Immanuel Baptist)
They don't give a year but the relationship might still exist today.

WKYT has been the UK station as long as I've been following
Kentucky television, so I wasn't aware that WLEX had UK sports
at the time. The coaches' show on 27 may have been EKU or
possibly Kentucky State (I think it's called), a predominantly-
black school in Frankfort.
Immanuel Baptist Church does sound right re WLEX's Sunday
church service.

WLEX was dominant over WKYT until the very early seventies in may ways including UK
coverage. It was only when WKYT was purchased Garvis Kincaid (Kentucky Central/WVLK) that
they challenged Channel 18 and won. Kentucky Central Television poured money into the facility
replacing and upgrading about everything. The story goes that after the sale Kincaid asked what
was needed to compete. Someone answered, "You see that red light atop the tower? Everything
below that needs to be replaced or upgraded." The thing that helped WKYT with UK coverage is
when they commissioned the construction of "The Million Dollar Baby". It was a tractor trailer
converted into a mobile television production facility. It was used and leased extensively for
sports broadcasting. I'm not sure if it is still in use today or was replaced or retired.
Lexington television was basically WLEX and WKYT while WTVQ (formally WBLG) was a distant
third and would remain that way until the late eighties when their owners decided to compete.

In WBLG/WTVQ's case, it's litteral as well, until 1980, when the station moved from 62 to 36.

The move to 36 was a band aid as everything else remained the same. Their news ratings were
always distant third compared to WKYT and WLEX. It wasn't until about 1987 the owner invested
in their news presence. A couple of years later they hired long time weatherman Brad James
from WKYT and later reunited him with long time anchor John Lindgren formally of WKYT.
Lindgren had left the market for a quick stint in Nashville. Through the nineties WTVQ finally
made news a three station race often on the heels of WKYT.

...was KPHO-TV even viewable in Tucson then? Nogales is closer, and the Mexican stations there
put absolutely no signal into Tucson nowadays...

The only Tucson houses that would have been able to receive KPHO in '49 would have been in
the low mountains on the NW side of the metro area and there weren't very many of those back
then. Everything else would have been blocked by the Santa Catalina mountains.
KPHO's signal was strong enough to reach Tucson though and those small communities on the
NE face of the Catalina's (Oracle, Winkleman, Ray, etc.) were able to receive it.

Actually, according to the Tucson paper, KPHO was viewable in most of Tucson. Engineers
predicted Tucson would get a signal 365 days a year, Flagstaff 200, and even Yuma 100. I suppose
it helped that the airwaves were not nearly as full as they are now.
The station changed calls from KTLX to KPHO prior to going on air. A July 30, 1949 article from
the Yuma Sun about the start of construction of the tower atop the Westward Ho Hotel refers to
the station as KTLX, but by October, the Tucson Daily Citizen was referring to the station as
KPHO-TV. It began testing sometime in November and went on air with regular programming
December 4 as KPHO-TV.

I'm going to have to send that statement to my fellow Tucsonans and see if anyone remembers
watching Phoenix TV during that time. Most of the city then, like now, was on the eastern edge
and is about 6,000 feet below the summit of the Catalina mountains (which lie between Phoenix
and Tucson). I really doubt any but a select few locations could receive KPHO.
One question though.....in 1949, where was KPHO's transmitting antenna? It wasn't on top of
South Mountain as it is today so I'm assuming it was at median ground level (which is about
1,300 feet ASL for most of what was then metro Phoenix).
In 1949 Tucson basically stopped west of what is now I-10 and north of Grant Road. There was
practically nothing outside these boundaries except ranches and farms. The massive growth
began about this time but spread eastward, not west or north, and these houses would have
been in the shadow of the Catalina mountains. I lived in Tucson from '48 through '60 and never
remember anyone being able to watch KPHO from anywhere in the metro area. My uncle, who
lived in San Manuel, could receive all the Phoenix stations just fine but San Manuel is on the
northwest face of the Catalina's at 5,000 feet ASL.

I'd love to hear what they say - either confirmation or denial. Your directions are a little off in
Tucson though; the Catalina Mountains are not between Tucson and Phoenix. The line between
the two cities follows what used to be AZ-84 and is now I-10, so Tucson-Phoenix is actually a
break between the Catalna and Tucson mountain ranges. I had been able to receive the analog
Phoenix stations around I-10 and Cortaro Rd., near the current KOLD-TV studios.
At that time, KPHO broadcast from the tower atop the Westward Ho Hotel. It was that tower
that they were beginning to build in the 7/30/1949 Yuma Sun article. Again, the line between
Phoenix and Tucson avoids South Mountain, so there's little or no interference there.

I have received 7 responses so far and no one remembers being able to watch KPHO. Bear in
mind that Tucson didn't have local TV until 1953 so perhaps there were too few receivers in the
'49-'53 time frame to matter.
On the mountains.....yes, the Catalina's are not in the direct path between metro Phoenix and
metro Tucson but rather somewhat to the NE however most of Tucson in '49, as now, is located
in the SW "shadow" of the Catalina's and prevents line of sight to Phoenix. Additionally, the
South Mountains lie in a direct path between downtown Phoenix and Tucson and although they
are not quite as high as Tucson I'm sure they presented an obstacle as well. The only area of
Tucson that would have had any sort of line of sight to Phoenix would have been the near-west
side roughly paralleling The Santa Cruz River and what is I-10 today. As that area is the old Barrio
and industrial district I doubt there were many TV receivers in use back then.
There may have been certain west-side locations able to receive KPHO but it doesn't seem
reasonable that the signal would have covered the metro area (even though it was much smaller
in '49 than today).
I last lived in Tucson in the late 70's and had a very tall rotor-driven antenna and was not able to
bring in a watchable signal from the Phoenix stations. My guess is that if that same setup were
to be used on a house perched up in the Tucson Mountains it might work - at least in the analog
days.

Maybe the Tucson Daily Citizen had statewide distribution in those days? So even if it might be
hard to pick up KPHO in Tucson, other readers of the newspaper, even some in the Phoenix area,
could get the signal.
The Newark Star-Ledger includes the Philadelphia TV channels in its television section, even
though almost no one in or near Newark can pick up those stations. Since the paper gets
distributed around New Jersey, some of its readers watch Philadelphia TV instead of stations
from NYC.

That's a good point. The Citizen has never been a state-wide newspaper to my knowledge but it
probably did have decent circulation in the Casa Grande-Eloy areas and those areas could have
received KPHO. My cousins lived in Eloy in the early 50's and I remember them watching the
Phoenix stations. I don't think they could receive Tucson TV until the transmitters were moved to
Mt. Bigelow.
Both Casa Grande and Eloy were small farming towns in those days but they were about the only
population centers between Phoenix and Tucson then and were marginally closer to Tucson than
Phoenix.
OK - I got a chance to look at the Tucson Daily Citizen articles again, from 12/3/1949 and
12/5/1949, and reception varied throughout the city, but radio shops surveyed in the downtown
area did report good reception. Here are excerpts from articles from those two days - they are so
long ago that copyright issues should not apply:
Clear Pictures Mark Television Reception In City (12/5/1949)
You could spot television last night by the antenna on the roof and the crowd on the sidewalk.
Tucson radio stores which remained open for the opening program of Phoenix station KPHO-TV
drew near-capacity audiences from 5:30 to 10 p.m. And almost everyone agreed that the
reception was fine.
None of the stores which had advertised open house for the television broadcast was equipped
to handle the curious Tucsonians who surged in and out, standing or squatting before the glass

Reception Varies
Aside from momentary blurrings and constant "snow" (flickerings possibly caused by passing
automobiles in the downtown area), the television images were clear all evening--better on
some sets than on others.
Tucson Awaiting First Television Program In State (12/3/1949)
Phoenix Station To Go On Air Late Sunday
Roh's Radio Co., 519 N. Sixth Ave.; Tucson Radio Co., 420 E. Sixth St.; and Balentine Service Co.,
2332 S. Fourth Ave., will hold open evenings so the public can enjoy TV--probably well until
Christmas.
Other stores contacted in a spot survey said that either their location was not favorable for TV or
expressed doubt that a clear image could be obtained. From experience of TV set owners during
the past two weeks, reception should be adequate in Tucson. Although the Old Pueblo is
classified as a "fringe area" for reception, good images of test patterns broadcast during the past
two weeks from the lone Arizona station.
When plans were drawn, engineers calculated that the station's signal would extend clearly for a
radius of 53 miles. However, the tests which have been carried on for nearly a month, show
much greater reception. The reception in Wickenburg--which was believed to have been at the
limit of clear reception--has been proven to be twice the original calculation.
Such good reception has been recorded in Tucson that station engineers now figure that city will
have 365 days in the year for receiving television broadcasts.
Reception has been such at Prescott and Flagstaff that they will probably be able to receive good
images 200 days in the year.
It is now estimated that Tombstone and Yuma will be able to receive good broadcast results 100
days in the year.
The 12/3 article also had the opening night schedule, which I have published in a separate
thread.

Thanks, Dhett, for that posting.

Can you imagine the curiosity factor in those days of having a device on which you can see
moving pictures of programs? And they were broadcast on a regular basis! Till then, it was either
radio with no pictures or going to the movies where you had to sit in a theater to see the
program.
My dad remembers growing up having only radio in the home. But in bars, they were just
starting to get television so people would buy beers or other drinks while watching sports on the
TV. Eventually the price dropped enough that his family bought a TV, but only years after TV was
available in bars or a few technophiles he knew might pay the high price and get a television set
for the home.
So the question is, why could radio stores in Tuscon pick up a Phoenix TV signal fairly easily in
1949, according to the newspaper account? Were TV sets or antennas built better to pick up
weaker signals in those days? Do more stations on the dial decrease reception for distant
siganls? Does more electrical equipment in our neighborhoods hurt TV reception to the point
you can't see Phoenix TV in Tuscon anymore... or at least before the switch to digitial TV?

I'm going to go with the latter. From 1949 to 1953, KPHO-TV was the only TV station in the entire
state, and relatively few stations existed before the FCC lifted its freeze in 1952. In 2009, prior to
analog shutoff, KPHO received interference from a Tucson station on channel 6 (not sure about
ch 4, due to the 4 MHz gap between chs 4 and 5) and co-channel interference, slight as it may
be, from stations in Las Vegas and Mexicali. The airwaves are full of RF signals today, which was
not the case in 1949.

...prior to analog shutoff...not sure about (interference from) ch 4, due to the 4 MHz gap
between chs 4 and 5...
Shouldn't have been, since there were analog channels 4 and 5 in the same market
(NYC and El Lay, for example).

Very cool dhett. I was a bit too young to have witnessed those initial displays myself but I
remember my dad coming home all excited one night after he apparently stopped off after work
to look at the TV. It would be great to ask the old man if he remembered this event but sadly he
isn't with us any longer.
The addresses given in the article are all within the narrow window we spoke about yesterday so
it does make sense that reception would have been possible in what was the downtown area
back then.
My folks didn't spring for a TV (table-top Magnavox, 19" I think) until 1954 when both KOPO and
KVOA were on the air in Tucson. I remember my dad fuming that the picture tube blew one day
after the one-year warranty ended. But they got a lot of life out of the second one. It lasted until
well into the 80's.
One question though.....in 1949, where was KPHO's transmitting antenna? It wasn't on top of
South Mountain as it is today so I'm assuming it was at median ground level (which is about
1,300 feet ASL for most of what was then metro Phoenix).
...I believe they started out using KOY's original tower site atop the Westward Ho in downtown
Phoenix. In fact, I think it's mentioned somewhere on a recent thread on this site that the
Westward Ho was part owner of KPHO-TV in its earliest years...
Actually, the Westward Ho tower was constructed for KPHO-TV. It rises 500' above street level.
And yes, the owner of the Westward Ho was one of the original partners in KPHO-TV.
...then did KOY have its own Central Avenue tower site? A book I have on Burridge Butler and his
ownership of WLS Chicago, the Prairie Farmer and Arizona Farmer newspapers and KOY claims
that when he came to Phoenix to look KOY over for potential purchase, circa 1938, its tower was
in its second week of laying across Central Avenue after a wind storm had toppled it...
Until vertical antennas became the norm, many if not most stations used two towers on top of
buildings with a multi-wire flat-top antenna stretched between them. When one of the KOY
towers collapsed in 1936, the transmitter was moved to 12th St. & Camelback Rd. near what was
then the northern city limits of Phoenix.
And, no, they didn't put the tower...on the ROOF! (which is paraphrasing the ad slogan for the
current owner of the ex-KOY transmitter site, a car dealer). ;D

Wasn't independent WTOG 44 a superstation at this time? I think they were big in Florida, but
never reached the status of Turner's WTCG. I wonder why? What made WTOG so popular?

The 8AM show on CBS was a new series, "The Flintstones Comedy Show". The 7AM program was
likely the original series.

Kind of unusual for the same school to appear on two different quiz shows the same day.

They were kind of a superstation at the time, but I do not know the extent of it -- they were seen
on cable systems at least in the central and southwestern parts of the state.
In the 1980s I came across an article in the Tallahassee Democrat, about the local cable system in
that city -- the article did mention them contemplating adding WTOG in the lineup, though I
don;t think they ever did.

Right about "The Flintstones" on Ch. 6. Believe it or not,
at the time Ch. 6 pre-empted "Match Game" at 3:30 to
show the original episodes of Fred and company.
It struck me as strange, too, that Dunedin High appeared
on both high-school quiz bowls on the same day. I was
at the University of Georgia at the time and have no idea
how they made out.
I don't recall WTOG ever being carried on cable outside
Florida. In Brevard County, on the East Coast (where Cocoa
Beach is, "I Dream Of Jeannie" fans), it was carried along with
WFLA and WTVT on cable, and I'm sure it was in other parts
of Florida (at that point, Miami had the only other independent;
Orlando would get one in '74) as well. But a superstation of
WTCG proportions? Never happened.

I came to Orlando in 1970, and at the time, as you point out, WTOG and Miami's WCIX were
about the only classic, non-religious, non-Spanish indies in the state. A lot of fairly distant cable
systems would pick up WTOG (with varying results, depending on how much effort they put into
it) to offer an extra choice on those primitive 12-channel systems. Later on, the system we
subscribed to picked up WCIX and Ft. Lauderdale's WKID via microwave, dropping WTOG (but
WSWB in Orlando had signed on by then, so for a time we had the luxury of three independents
-- ooooo! That is, until WSWB went belly-up and U.S. Marshals pulled the plug and seized their
equipment...) . :

Many cable systems in the state, at least as far north as Tampa Bay and Orlando, carried WCIX
during the day, and WKID at night after WCIX signed off. Of course, these stations would start
fading from distant cable systems by the early-1980s -- WCIX and WKID were gone from then-
Group W Cable in Pinellas by the time our family first got cable in 1983, though by then we also
had WFTS to go along with our WTOG (plus WTBS and WGN).

"Past Prime Playhouse" with Bob Shreve on WKRC-TV, Channel 12 was one show where it can
definitely be said viewers tuned in to see him and not the movies. Shreve previously did this
show on other Cincinnati TV stations as well as Channel 7 in Dayton. Some may not be aware of
it, but Shreve actually had a good singing voice. He sang on early TV programs and also once
sang the National Anthem before a Reds game.

Bob Shreve got some national exposure as a singer on Dotty
Mack's ABC shows in the '50s (if you can call anything on ABC
in those days "national"); another regular singer on her shows
was Colin Male, who was host of "Divorce Court" in the late '60s/
early '70s, when Voltaire Perkins was still the judge.

I find it interesting that both NBC affiliates aired "Little Rascals"/"Our Gang" not only at the same
time (1:30 PM), but in fifteen-minute intervals, to boot. Kinda reminds me of that mean battle
between two indies in Houston airing "Popeye" at the same time... ;D

I think it's more coincidence than competition, since
Louisville and Cincinnati are separate markets. Each
"Our Gang" or "Little Rascals" episode runs about 15
minutes anyway, since they were originally made as
movie shorts. BTW, you can tell the difference two
ways: in the '70s MGM held the rights to the "Our Gang"
title, and King World syndicated the older ones under the
"Little Rascals" title. The "Our Gang"s, produced mostly
in the early '40s, show Spanky and Alfalfa moving into their
teen years, and there's a new character: Mickey Gubitosi,
real name of an actor you know better as Robert Blake.

May I note that Bob Shreve could actually sing. Both Dotty Mack and Colin Male lip synced or
pantomined records on the shows they were on. After going to California, Male also became the
voice-over announcer for the opening of "The Andy Griffith Show". He even appeared in one of
the episodes.

Looks like WKBD 50 was an independent sports channel. I don't think I've ever seen an
independent that was 100% sports. What are they today if still around?

WKBD was just wall-to-wall sports on the weekends...weekday programming was more of what
you'd expect from an indie. WKBD is still around today and has been the Detroit CW affiliate
since 2006 (it was also Fox 1996-1994, joining UPN in early 1995 after a month as an indie when
WJBK picked up Fox as part of the New World deal)

From what I saw on Google News Archives in a September, 1966 Toledo Blade, WTOL-TV carried I
Dream of Jeannie from NBC in it's first color season after Gilligan's Island and before The Lucy
Show, both from CBS. Did WTOL-TV air Jeannie in it's first season or did viewers in the Toledo
market in areas bordering Michigan have to rely on WWJ-TV Detroit or WILX-TV Lansing for
Jeannie?. I know WDHO-TV (now WNWO-TV) had Jeannie plus other rejects from 11 and 13 in
1967-68 but Jeannie blinked over to WSPD-TV (now ABC O&O WTVG) in the fourth season when
it was on before Laugh-In.

Based on a quick check of the listings, Toledo viewers would have to rely on Detroit or Lansing
for Jeannie...11 and 13 both ran secondary NBC at the time.

for Jeannie...
How easy was it at the time to pull in NBC O&O WKYC from Cleveland in Toledo? Don't know
why not -- I was able to watch that channel with some regularity from Clinton, Michigan
(southwest of Ann Arbor) back in the 1990s, while on vacation visiting my sister.

Actually if memory serves, WSPD TV-13 was Primary NBC at least I always remember it as such
during my childhood.

In Toledo, it would be easier to get channel 4 from Detroit, but I do remember trying to watch
Get Smart on channel 3 in Cleveland when they showed reruns on Sunday Mornings ('70s?
'80s?). It was very snowy if I could get it at all. I remember in the '60s channel 13 usually showed
ABC shows and some NBC shows including the Today Show. Channel 11 was mostly CBS and
some NBC. Many times NBC shows had to be watched on 4 (Detroit). In 1966 when channel 24
went on the air, they would usually get the leftovers that 11 and 13 did not show. Even then
some shows were delayed to Weekend afternoons (Smothers Brothers at 5PM Saturday, because
11 showed Bonanza (NBC) at 9PM Sunday after Ed Sullivan (CBS). In the early '70s the three
stations finally became affiliated with only one network: 11 with CBS, 13 with NBC and 24 with
ABC. That lasted until ABC bought channel 13 which then became the ABC station and 24
became the NBC station and by that time channel 36 was here as the Fox station. I think 13
showed ABC, CBS, NBC and Dumont shows when they were the only station in town (until '58).

I recall reading that WDHO-24 was technically an independent, as Toledo Eleven said, taking
leftovers from the Networks 11 and 13 didnt want, officially taking ABC full time in 1970.
One odd thing-Channel 13 from approximately 1962-65, didnt sign on till about 7:20AM, starting
The Today Show at 7:30 and running it only 90 minutes..

Re: Retro: Southeast Pennsylvania Sat, Nov 20, 1976
Funny that I don't see one mention of "Music Hall America,"
a variety show with a weekly guest host that was touted as
potentially-strong competition for "Hee Haw" and Welk (it wasn't,
it lasted only one season). But I remember that in Greenville, SC,
it was on against both on Saturdays at 7; in Atlanta it was on
against "Hee Haw" at 7 (Welk was on at 5); in Dallas KTVT ran it
in prime time on Saturday nights.

I am assuming that the Aussies have always had a more relaxed attitude towards
sex and frontal nudity on broadcast TV? I was quite surprised to learn that the
Underbelly series which DirecTV picked up for their 101 channel were originally made
for broadcast. They are certainly not shy about the R-rated content, and even
DirecTV would not run them until after 10PM.

Though along the same token, in this schedule, the much more tamer "Medical Center" was
classified as "Adults Only", while "Number 96" carried no rating.

Are we talking both female & male nudity or just female? I have heard in the past that female
nudity is actually way more accepted in a lot of places on TV and in films including down under
than male nudity is and that this "rule" even extends to nude beaches as a woman can go totally
nude but a man doing the same could still get arrested. Oddly when HBO was airing OZ years
ago, I can remember the complaints. Not about the very graphic violence that was seen on the
show but against Chris Meloni's full frontal nude shower scenes. I guess a lot of people are
scared of Mr. Penis ;D

The lead male character in Underbelly was subject to some very thorough onscreen nudity
that included everything except Mr. Winkie. Of course he was still badly outgunned by lots
and lots and lots of female nudity (which did not go unappreciated...) ;D

Number 96?
I presume that is the same as a "69", but in the Southern Hemisphere?

TV were taking CBS live East Coast feed of As the World Turns, they would have gotten
Cronkites initial bulletins live and, therefore, were likely to be the first TV stations in Phoenix and
Tucson to break the news. Only KGUN-TV appears to have taken a network feed from ABC, and
NBC wasnt offering a network program during this half hour.)

what those stations were doing; I suspect KPHO picked up one of the networks with the
permission of the Phoenix affiliate they had originally been an ABC affiliate, so Id tentatively go
in that direction and KAET, KUAT and KUAS may have had someone break into the instructional
programs with the initial bulletin, after which they may have picked up a networks coverage
with permission of the Tucson and Phoenix affiliates.)

The Arizona Daily Star of November 23rd carried a story indicating that the three commercial
television networks (and four national radio networks) were all cancelling entertainment
programs until after President Kennedys funeral on the 25th, and all of the local affiliates were
following their networks leads by doing the same on locally-originated and syndicated
programming. There was still a question as to whether Tucson radio station KCUB would carry
the Los Angeles Rams-Baltimore Colts NFL game from the West Coast circuit of the Mutual radio
network on Sunday, but the Notre Dame college football game that weekend was definitely
called off. However, ads for KOLD-TV and KOLD Radio appeared on the same page, promoting
Saturdays scheduled commercial programming; apparently, nobody at KOLD contacted the Star
by press time to get the ads pulled. The KOLD Radio ad promoted the New Mexico-Arizona NCAA
football game that had been scheduled for that night at 7:45; the schedule listed in the KOLD-TV
ads http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ItyDNJp-jj...OLD23nov63.jpg included the following:
6:50 Farm & Ranch Report
8:30 Mighty Mouse
9:00 Rin Tin Tin
9:30 Roy Rogers
10:00 Sky King
10:30 Do You Know? (local high school variation on College Bowl)

8:00 Gunsmoke
9:00 Adventures in Paradise
10:00 Wanted: Dead or Alive
10:30 Million Dollar Movie: The Outriders (starring Joel McCrea, Arlene Dahl and Barry Sullivan)
A second ad specifically promoted the showing of The Outriders at 10:30.
Theres also one additional item to add here, although unrelated to the TV schedules listed
above. In researching this post, I came across a rather startling two-line headline in the
November 17th edition of the Arizona Daily Star, the top of the two lines reading JFK SELECTS
COFFIN. The story was about Kennedy choosing diplomat Frank Coffin to become the U.S.
Ambassador to Panama, but I still cant quite get past the phrasing of that top line!

Re: Retro: Tucson and Phoenix, November 22 and 23, 1963
"Day In Court" aired at 2:30 (ET), and since KGUN
had a local talk show from 12-1 (MT), I would suspect
it aired on delay. Remember that both ABC and NBC
were down when Cronkite broke into "As The World Turns";
ABC, at the time, aired "General Hospital" at 1 PM (ET) (it
wouldn't move to 3 until Dec. 30), then went down from
1:30-2:30; NBC was down from 1 to 2.
"Do You Know?", unless you're talking about a different
show, aired on CBS from Oct. 12, 1963-Apr. 25, 1964 at
12:30 (ET). Two teams of kids aged 9-12 were assigned
a book to read, then quizzed about it; it probably did resemble
"College Bowl". Bob Maxwell, who used to be the voice of the
SFM holiday network, was host of this show. A similar program,
"Reading Room", had aired same time, same network, the previous
year, with children's-book author Ned Hoopes as host.

I would suspect it aired on delay.
The '64 Yearbook lists KGUN-TV as having one tape machine (same for KVOA and KOLD)
so it could have been a day behind, but what if the head loads up during recording? One
might say the same for KVOA with its daily one hour delay of Huntley-Brinkley.
Or...it could have been a kinnie on a one week (or more) delay. Or a third left-field idea:
KTVK tapes the feed at 12:30 while airing the show, and sends it to Tucson on Greyhound
for KGUN to play the next day. That scenario was used (early '70s?) where KOOL-TV ran
Merv Griffin (CBS late night) in pattern at 10:30 PM, then the next morning sent their
backup tape (90-min. reel) of Merv down to Tucson on the bus for KOLD's airing at 4 PM.

The Persol-Thomas fight at Madison Square Garden was postponed one week to Friday,
November 29. Persol won the ten-round bout by a unanimous decision.

KUAS-TV was not listed because it didn't exist yet, and wouldn't for another 25 years. The CP was
issued in 1985 and it went on the air in 1988. I've never seen any reference to KUAS prior to the
mid '80s. The FCC's database says the callsign was issued on 8/26/1985. Also, there were no UHF
allocations for Tucson (or Phoenix for that matter) in 1963.
I don't believe KUAS-TV has ever transmitted from Mt. Bigelow. IIRC, they've always been
transmitting from someplace near downtown Tucson. In fact, in 1963, KUAT-TV Channel 6 wasn't
on Mt. Bigelow either, per the 1963 Broadcasting Yearbook.

3/9 : Father Knows Best
Wasn't Father Knows Best one of the shows that was pre-empted by ABC at the time that the
news of Kennedy's assassination took place? This may be a one day delay from Thursday
meaning that Monday's episode (the Friday episode that was pre-empted by the ABC news
coverage) wasn't shown or was substituted for a rerun of another show that 3 and 9 had to offer.

Are there any TV listings for Chicago from 11/22/1963 on Radio-Info?. A friend of mine wants to
know what was on and would have been on later in the day on that fateful day.

By one of the ABC affiliates, apparently on a one-hour delay; New York's WABC-TV, as noted in
the New York TV listings for Nov. 22, 1963 (if you can find it here), had run the FKB episode in its
entirety (it ran at 12:30 P.M. EST); what ABC interrupted for bulletins on the JFK shooting on
WABC was a local rerun of a 1958 Ann Sothern Show episode. David von Pein's aircheck which
showed FKB being so interrupted clearly has 5 kHz telco, whereas WABC airings would have had
full 15 kHz audio.

Not that I could tell . . . however, the Fuzzy Memories website (which deals with classic Chicago
TV) has the would-be schedule:
http://www.fuzzymemories.tv/forums/i...?showtopic=179
Nothing I've been able to find had anything about KUAS being on the air that early. In fact, the
UHF non-comm allocation for Tucson didn't exist until 1965. It was originally Channel 28, and
was moved to 27 the next year. My sources were Broadcasting Yearbooks and Vane Jones station
guides from that era, courtesy of the Old Gringo's basement.
...okeh, another correction to be made. Thanx (and no thanx to the guys at APM! heh heh)...
When KPAZ 21 Phoenix went on air in 1967, it was touted as the first UHF station in Arizona.
However, there were UHF translators before that, mostly in the channel 70 - 83 range.
The U of A applied for the station that would become KUAS in Feb 1985. The CP was approved in
July 1985, and the station applied for its license in July 1988, which was granted in December. It
had an ERP of 30.2 kW. The original permit specified Tumamoc Hill, not Mt. Bigelow. Besides, it
was the Mt. Bigelow signals that couldn't reach the NW foothills, as they were blocked by Mt
Lemmon.
The U of A did operate a translator on ch 27, K27AT, also from Tumamoc Hill, but not in 1960.
The U of A applied for K27AT in Nov 1980, but it wasn't granted until Jun 1985. The same day
that the KUAS application was granted, the U of A requested to upgrade K27AT to 20 kW, which
the FCC approved in Sept 1985. K27AT went on air in Dec 1985 with 20 kW and was licensed the
following March.

You're probably right - I just assumed it was a typo. My mistake.

Tuesday not Thursday, I believe, as March 10, 1959 was a Tuesday and the prime time
live network feed shows were from the Tuesday schedule.
As to ABC News/John Daly on 3/9 at 9:30 PM...the guesstimate here is that since ABC
had video tape then and it's doubtful that either KTVK 3 (the network feed source) or
KGUN 9 did, the network must have fed the (15 min.?) 'cast multiple times starting at
11 ET/9 MT. But notice neither station aired the early evening ABC newscast here.
Unless...there was no late evening ABC News and this 9:30 PM airing is a kinnie of the
earlier 'cast. ??? KTVK could have had a kinnie recorder and either its own processing
lab or used an in-town lab.
As for what filled out the 9:30 half hour on KGUN-TV, one may just blame sloppiness at
the Arizona Republic. From '60s microfilms I've seen, their Tucson listings were kind of
an afterthought (running in the "bulldog" or state edition only) and often had errors.

Tuesday not Thursday, I believe, as March 10, 1959 was a Tuesday and the prime time
live network feed shows were from the Tuesday schedule.
Can you tell I posted at 11:30pm? Good grief, Charlie Brown!! :

Some might also notice that NBC network programs on KIVA 11 Yuma are one hour later than in
Phoenix or Tucson, yet they were actually in pattern. KIVA had its studios and transmitter about
10 mi W of Yuma at Pilot Knob (near the Calif. Inspection Station, for those of you familiar with
the area) and ran its schedule on California time, so when the nation was on Standard Time, as
would have been the case on Tuesday March 10th, air times in Arizona were an hour later. For
example, the Today Show, airing at 7 am in Phoenix and Tucson, aired at 8 am in Yuma. Once the
nation was on Daylight Saving Time, both sides of the market would have been synched up, as
Arizona didn't use daylight time (except for an ill-fated experiment in 1967).

Ill-fated?
Hmmm...you must have been brainwashed by the drive-in theater lobby.
I hear they were a real powerful bunch in AZ back around '67-'68.
Some of us, a minority apparently, liked DST in AZ but the majority did not. The drive-in lobby
didn't have much to do with it.
I hadn't moved here yet, and wouldn't for another 2 years.
"Ill-fated", as in, "short-lived", but highly unpopular. Or so I'm told - I didn't even know how to
tell time yet.

Re: Retro: Kentucky Sun, Nov 23, 1958
WFPK-TV, Channel 15 (ETV) had started operations September 1, 1958, but didn't begin its very
limited Sunday schedule until January of 1959. This was pre-NET, the predecesor of PBS, so most
educational stations went dark weekends.
By the way, I see a Chicago Cardinals game on WEHT's listings. I know they played at old
Comiskey Park until the NFL virtually ordered them out of Chicago to St. Louis in March, 1960 to
block any AFL inroads into St. Loo. What radio station in Chicago was their flagship?
"Well, Sherlock Holmes and Sam Spade ain't got nothing, chile on me...Sergeant
Friday, Charlie Chan or Boston Blackie..."-Jerry Leiber, 1956

Both WAVE and WHAS in Louisville carried a few ABC programs, especially the westerns.
There'd been an ABC affiliate on Channel 21, WKLO, but it went dark in the mid-1950s.
WLKY, the ABC affiliate on Channel 32, signed on in September 1961. It's been rumored that
both WAVE and WHAS had so much clout that they'd been preventing a third station from
cutting into their revenue for years before WLKY finally debuted.

WCFL.
1958 was their last year at Comiskey. They played at Soldier Field in 1959, then moved to St.
Louis.

Re: RETRO: New York City TV - Friday, Nov. 22, 1963 (Other Stations)
An amendment to the WNEW-TV schedule:
The 1:30 PM repeat of the film aired at 10 AM on The 10 O'Clock Movie, went by the umbrella of
the Late Lunch Movie.
From what I read, after 2 PM WNDT carried CBS News' coverage of the JFK assassination.

From what I read, after 2 PM WNDT carried CBS News' coverage of the JFK assassination.
This may have been asked before (but not answered definitively, IIRC), but what aired on 5, 9,
and 11 once the JFK story took over the network affiliates? Did any of them repeat any network
coverage, do any local coverage, did they even stay on the air, etc.?

I can only presume that the "indies" primarily repeated coverage from CBS and/or NBC - but I
doubt ABC, especially given their news operation's public access-style setup of the time and
uber-dead-last ratings when the dust settled. "Public access-style setup," come to think of it,
seems to have been the description of WOR-TV's facilities and production values in all the years
when RKO General ruled the roost. The only one of the indies who had any true commitment to
news (such as it was) in those days was WPIX, with the likes of local anchor/news director John
Tillman and national/world anchor Kevin Kennedy. 'PIX may well have juxtaposed the network(s)
feed with local reportage. This was less than 3.5 years before WNEW launched The 10 O'Clock
News, so their news operation pretty much didn't exist back then - and WOR-TV's news outfit
pretty much consisted those days of WOR Radio's John Wingate, they didn't really have anything
resembling an actual news operation until 1970.

A few other mods to this schedule:
- The 9:30 A.M. and 1:30 P.M. airings on Channel 9 were under the All-Star Movie banner.
- The 10 A.M. movie on Channel 11 was shown under the umbrella of The Morning Movie.

...of course, at the time WPIX-TV/11 and WPIX/101.9 (the FM station had been acquired a few
weeks prior to the assassination, IIRC) were co-owned with the New York Daily News ("New
York's Picture Newspaper," hence the call sign)...

To bring this back to life . . . a look at the Dec. 2, 1963 issue of Broadcasting magazine shows
that, besides WNDT, CBS News' coverage of the JFK assassination and subsequent funeral was
simulcast on WOR-TV and WPIX. WNEW-TV, on the other hand, went with ABC's.

Re: Retro: Philadelphia Sun, Nov 25, 1962
The World's Best Movies umbrella used as of 1962 by WFIL (which became WPVI-TV in 1971)
was also in use at New Haven, CT's WNHC-TV (now WTNH) - which, like Channel 6, was also
owned by Triangle at the time.
"The Jetsons": wasn't that computer called "Uniblab"?
According to http://www.bcdb.com/cartoons/Hanna-B...J/The_Jetsons/, both the computer and

the episode title was Uniblab; apparently someone in Radnor couldn't spell
...and it wouldn't be the last either. Back in the mid 80's I can remember TV Guide doing an
article on HBO's Michael J. Fuchs.
Unfortunately at least twice in the article the letter "H" became a "K" in the last name of
"Fuchs".

Re: Retro:Cleveland/Akron/Canton/Youngstown, Ohio Thursday, November 23, 1967
I saw so many NFL games and was going to ask why the Browns weren't on, until I realized this
was a Thanksgiving Day schedule I had no idea both the NFL and AFL had two T-Day games back
then.
17 had news at 6 and 11? 15 minutes, it would appear. Plus the 7 PM with Carl Day that you
note...

Actually, had the listings for Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 24, 1966 been shown, you
would have seen the Browns. On that date, they played Dallas in the Cotton Bowl in the first
game of what has become the Cowboys traditional Thanksgiving game. It was shown on the CBS
Television Network using announcers Frank Glieber (the Browns' TV announcer) and Jack Buck
(who was the Cowboys' TV announcer). Dallas won 26-14.

The hero of that 1966 Dallas-Cleveland game, IIRC, was Danny Villanueva,
who kicked four field goals. He later got into television as g.m. of KMEX
Los Angeles.
I recently posted a Kentucky schedule that showed "Mr. Magoo In The King's
Service" on WCPO. They were three episodes (either edited or shown in their
entirety) of "The Famous Adventures Of Mr. Magoo".

Glieber was also WJW-TV 8 weeknight sports anchor at this point, having replaced Boston-bound
Ken Coleman as Browns Play By Blay man in 1966..Glieber eventually moved to Dallas in 1968 to
work on Cowboys Broadcasts over KRLD Radio

Glieber also did sports on KXAS. He died fairly young
of a heart attack suffered while walking on a treadmill,
IIRC. One current sportscaster (and his competitor at

WFAA in the late '70s/early '80s), Verne Lundquist, cites
Glieber as his inspiration to become a sportscaster.

Late in 1946, by some estimates, there were perhaps a little over 100,000 television-equipped
homes in the entire U.S., over half of them in the greater New York City area. There were three
commercially licensed stations in NYC, still the only city with more than one fully licensed station
on the air. (Albany-Schenectady, Philadelphia, Washington, and Chicago had one each telecasting
a few hours a day, and Los Angeles had an experimental station programming a few days a week
and preparing to go fully commercial with a daily schedule in January of 1947). With only a
relatively few sets for programmers and advertisers to reach, programming remained sparse for
another year or so until national receiver population doubled during 1947, and then exploded in
1948-49 as dozens of cities got their first stations.

This version of the "Iron Bowl" between Alabama and Auburn was the game where Bear Bryant
won his 315th game as a head coach, breaking Amos Alonzo Stagg's record. It was also the last
time Bryant would defeat Auburn as a head coach. His record versus the Tigers was 19-6.
(Amazing that an Auburn fan would post these factoids, isn't it? :-[ )

The Thanksgiving 1983 episode of Sesame Street, "Farewell, Mr. Hooper," would be the one
where Big Bird is informed of Mr. Hooper's death. In real life, actor Will Lee passed away on Dec.
7, 1982--nearly a year earlier. (BTW, Will Lee was the first actor to play Grandpa Hughes on "As
the World Turns" when it premiered on Apr. 2, 1956).

I take it that Showtime only had one national feed at the time, which on the west coast, made its
adult programming available to a wider audience (i.e. kids during prime-time).
No doubt Showtime's "Bizarre" had nudity and profanity; and I take it that "Bare Touch of Magic"
had nudity and, maybe, sex.
You're probably right about both of them. Regarding the former, "Bizarre", when it was first
syndicated in the fall of 1984, it had to be edited considerably to make it suitable for broadcast
TV. If it had aired unedited on broadcast, it wouldn't have gone over well with the FCC and, to
some extent, the viewing public.

No doubt CTV and Bizarre's producer, CFTO Toronto, had similar fears about the CRTC -- they also
shown a sanitised version to its viewers. It was not known if the raunchier version was shown in
late night -- CRTC's standards for late-night programming was somewhat looser than the FCC's;
also, First Choice, Canada's first premium channel, did not start until the mid-1980s.
North of the border, Comedy Gold currently shows the censored reruns. From what I
understand, I'm aware that KTXL Sacramento ran the uncensored version, but I haven't heard of
anyone else brave enough to do it...

what it is, the tv guide got the listings from the networks and TV stations a couple of weeks
before 11-22-1963, and this issue was being printed for mailing and sale before the events in
Dallas. which is why you see the listings for the Army-Navy game for this date.

Even with the Army-Navy listing being incorrect, it might be noted that eventual telecast on
December 7, 1963 provided the first use of instant re-play for a televised sports event. CBS-TV
aired the game from Philadelphia Stadium (later re-named JFK Stadium) and the use of the
immediate re-plays prompted announcer Lindsey Nelson to continue to emphasize to viewers
when they were watching a tape. Navy, led by Heisman Trophy winner-to-be quarterback Roger
Staubach, held off Army in the contest, 21-15.

Even with the Army-Navy listing being incorrect, it might be noted that the eventual telecast on
December 7, 1963 provided the first use of instant re-play for a televised sports event. CBS-TV
aired the game from Philadelphia Stadium (later re-named JFK Stadium) and the use of the
immediate re-plays prompted announcer Lindsey Nelson to continue to emphasize to viewers
when they were watching a tape. Navy, led by Heisman Trophy winner-to-be quarterback Roger
Staubach, held off Army in the contest, 21-15.

WKRC 12 (ABC) - Cincinatti
9:00 AM American Bandstand (guests: Brian Hyland and Bobby Bare) (a possible one week delay)
Was this the episode that was to air on November 23, 1963 and possibly was pre-empted
because of the Kennedy assassination since the other ABC stations WKYT and WLKY were
carrying that week's American Bandstand with Chubby Checker and Donald Jenkins?

As the other stations are showing the episode with Chubby and Donald, maybe the delayed
episode on WKRC was two weeks old, as ABC did not provide a new episode on 11/23, due to
the assassination, and WKRC did not show the delayed 11/16 edition, for obvious reasons.

Seems that the only NBC Saturday morning show not carried by WAVE was "The Bullwinkle
Show", unless the station aired it in a Sunday slot.

WAVE did not carry "Bullwinkle".
As for "American Bandstand," remember that the Nov. 23
issue was already on the stands when JFK was killed, and
the Nov. 30 one would have been in preparation (some stores
would have had it as early as Nov. 25, theoretically). So
it sounds like one of two things: either the show airing on
Ch. 12 was the show TV Guide was told would air in pattern
on the 23rd, or Ch. 12 was on a two-week delay and this
show aired on ABC Nov. 16.
The Nov. 30 issue did carry a small note that the networks
turned over all their facilities to coverage of the aftermath
of the assassination. However, everything else appears to
be as planned (both the magazine content and the stations'

schedules) before the events of Nov. 22 shook things up.

These programs were also picked up from the networks at the time when KING and KIRO passed
them on -- "Diff'rent Strokes" was in daytime reruns on NBC at the time, while CBS ran the 1980s
"Tattle tales".

4 PM Magazine
Included: penguins at San Diego's Sea World; low and middle-income housing problems in

IIRC, the Seattle edition of PM Magazine aired on KIRO Channel 7 around this time at 6:30pm
weeknights following CBS Evening News at 6:00. If it's true, which it apparently is, then how
come it's airing on Channel 4 (an ABC affiliate) at 6:00am in the morning? Is there some kind of
mix-up with the listings?
Maybe KOMO's program should be the similar "PM Northwest"? The 6AM airing, no doubt, is a
repeat of the previous night's episode.
Now that you mentioned it, I think the listing for Channel 4 at 6:00am might've been a misprint.
It should've said "PM Northwest", not "PM Magazine".

he got the call from NBC that the show had been

gets the local franchise for that new thing called
the telephone; townspeople come in to pay their
bills, and in runs Garner's sidekick Luis Delgado, all
excited: "Jimbo! Jimbo!" "It's Bret, Bret Maverick,"
Garner replies. "Not anymore, Jimbo," says Delgado.

Re: Kentucky Tuesday, December 1, 1981
I noticed here that WAVE-TV Louisville carried The Joker's Wild, having moved from WLKY-TV,
when they were an ABC station. Did WAVE-TV ever air Tic Tac Dough or did WHAS-Tv have it
later?.
Also, WLWT got TTD and TJW from WCPO-TV when they with CBS in Cincy. Did Channel 5 carry
them for the rest of the run? Or did WCPO-TV or WKRC-Tv get them later?.
I know in 1980-81 Channel 5 had Bullseye which was not aired in Cincy in the last season except
for those with WOR-TV Channel 9 NYC on cable or CBN who would air reruns starting in Fall 1981
or early 1982, before the Celebrity Bullseye eps. came on the stations that did air the 1981-82
eps.
I don't have enough issues of the Kentucky edition from the '80s to answer your questions about
Joker's Wild and Tic Tac Dough. But I do know that "Celebrity Bullseye" was a hard show to find;
however, one station that carried was in that part of the country but in a different edition of TV
Guide: WRTV Indianapolis.
11:30 Tonight Show (David Letterman subs for Johnny...)
That was quite a long time ago - back when both of them were on good terms... :
Dave and Johnny were on good terms until Carson's death. In fact, Johnny was an occasional
monologue ghost writer for Dave. It was suggested that Carson told Dave that if it were him he'd
take the CBS offer.
TTD and TJW,bpatrick were also hard to find in most cities by Fall 1981. WILX-TV Lansing dropped
those two and Bullseye by Fall 1981, WJRT-Tv Flint would carry them, and TJW would be dropped
by WZZM-TV Grand Rapids as would Bullseye,but WKZO-TV still had TTD ,and would add TJW at
noon in the death slot against ABC's Family Feud on WOTV-41 (ZZM had Feud on a tape delay)in
1/1982, only to move to WOOD TV 8 in Fall 1982.

8 PM Father Murphy
9 PM Bret Maverick
The openings to both "Father Murphy" and "Bret Maverick" are actually shown back-to-back on
this YouTube montage linked below of various 1981 show openings someone has created
(starting at the 7:46 point with "Father Murphy"). This user has also created similar program
opening montages for roughly the 1979-96 era.

Re: Retro:Houston, Wednesday, September 17, 1986
I see some notable daytime game shows that were bumped in the Bayou City: Sale of the
Century and (daytime) Wheel of Fortune on KPRC; $25,000 Pyramid and Card Sharks on KHOU.
Not really surprising about the CBS game preemptions, but somewhat surprised about
NBC's...looking back at some of the other retro schedules here from around the same time
period, it was usually the Noon ET (11am CT/PT) on NBC that got bumped in a lot of markets.

Re: Retro: Kentucky Monday, November 25, 1968
I see Paul Harvey on Ch. 27 in Lexington during this time. Was this a TV version of his "Rest of the
Story" stories? Were they very popular?

I remember Paul Harvey being featured in the 1970's on WHIO-TV, Channel 7, in Dayton. It was
basically a commentary of sorts. It this case, it was used during the station's evening newscast.

Right. It was a commentary that aired usually before the
news (I remember Charlotte and Greenville, SC airing Harvey
at 5:55) or after (as in WKYT's case), and in some cases even
during the news (WGHP used to air him about midway through its
5:30 news). Other than that, Harvey's only other TV work that
I can recall were his Bible-stories program that some of you have
asked about, and a late-Sunday-night (11-11:15) news and comment
program on ABC which ran from November 1952 to August 1953.

No. The one I remember was not "The Rest of the Story", but more of a commentary on current
events. It had a brief opening, a comemrical (which was done by the local station) and then
Harvey's commentary. I'm only familar with "The Rest of the Story" from radio.
...a commentary on current events. It had a brief opening, a comemrical (which was done by the

WTVT in Tampa also ran Harvey's commentary during the evening newscast, which often began
with the anchor introducing the segment and describing what Paul will talk about, then Paul's
commentary, then the next segment.
When did Paul's TV commentaries end? I figure sometime in the mid-1980s.
...I recall seeing Paul Harvey's TV commentaries in WLRE/26 Green Bay as late as 1982...

IIRC, Paul Harvey's show was also carried on WBMG-42 in Birmingham during the late 60's or
early 70's. Of course, since I was probably the only person who watched Channel 42 back then (I
was a child, I didn't know any better), it probably can't be verified.

I can verify that Paul Harvey was on Ch. 42; I lived in
Birmingham from 1969 to 1973. I can also assure you
that you were not the only person who watched the
station; most of our favorite shows, particularly during
our last two years there, were on CBS: "All In The Family,"
Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, Carol Burnett, "Maude,"
and "The Waltons" (my mom's favorite). Also, we were

known to watch 42's local newscast (when they had one)
because my dad liked Tommy Charles. As for national news,
however, he preferred John Chancellor on NBC and I preferred
Howard K. Smith and Harry Reasoner on ABC.

19 is Cincy's Fox affiliate now, owned by Raycom.
43 is Cleveland, not Columbus, and is oddly enough now also owned by Raycom. It's Cleveland's
MyNetwork TV outlet, sister to WOIO/19 "CBS 19".

I wonder what these "cartoons" consisted of - Woody? Porky? Tom & Jerry? I'm sure if it was

At one time, WXIX - Channel 19 - in Cincinnati was on a number of cable systems. After it
became a Fox affiliate, that may have changed. I'm not sure where it might be on cable now.

There was an "ABC Afterschool Special" that day, disrupting

I give you the normal 4-6 PM lineups for the five ABC stations:

Re: Retro: North Carolina Wednesday, December 5, 1979
Correction for WCCB at 3:30 PM: should be "Batman";
"Spectreman" aired on Ch. 36 and I think I was looking
at the wrong thing (easy to do with this many stations).

NOTE - The newspaper did not publish a television schedule for KAET 8 (NET).
Two shows that seem out of place:

"Canadian Hockey" on KPAZ (did hockey have a Spanish language following?)
"Hockey Preview" on KTAR (since there were no hockey telecasts in AZ back then)
Saturday was definitely for kids back then.
I wonder if KTAR's program was a highlight of the old Phoenix Roadrunners. I saw some
Roadrunner ads in the newspaper. And being September, hockey season wouldn't have started
yet.
NOTE - The newspaper did not publish a television schedule for KAET 8 (NET).
I'd assume that the likeliest explination is that KAET didn't air programming on weekends around
that time. IIRC, KETC in St. Louis during the 1960s didn't air programming at all on weekends,
before it became affiliated with PBS.
No, there was programming, according to a KAET/NET advertisement on the next page, but the
newspaper didn't publish a schedule. The ad listed the shows airing that evening, but didn't give
any times for them.
Maybe tle local edition of TV Guide or another local Arizona paper (probably the Republic's then-
sister paper Gazette or the Arizona Daily Star out of Tucson or some other paper) might've had
listings for Channel 8's Saturday lineup.

Re: RETRO: Phoenix AZ, Saturday September 16, 1967

The programming on KPAZ-TV in Phoenix was not entirely Spanish when they went on the air. As
a matter of fact, even before its conversion to Religious Programming they were never totally
Spanish.
For awhile, during Monday through Friday daytime (6 am to 5 or 6 pm) they pointed a camera at
a UPI teletype machine and one could watch anything and everything that came over the
newswire.
They had a regular schedule of movies some of which seemed to be Italian movies dubbed into
English. The rest of the programming didn't measure up to the quality of the rest of the other
local programming, so they were never really successful. Add to that a UHF dial was not very
common on many TV sets. I bought a UHF converter one afternoon so I could watch a friend of
mine help a friend of his tape the opening bit prior to that night's scary movie.
Another person I knew had an evening weekend shift in the control room. Since I never worked
in TV I never kept up with the workings of most TV equipment, but it was on that night I
discovered that the station had prepared fill material on 2" videotape that ran at half the normal
speed of most videotaped material. The quality didn't seem to be that bad, but still I never knew
those machines had a second speed on them.
In short, channel 21 was never totally Spanish. Channel 33 (KTVW) was the first TV station in
Phoenix to be 100% Spanish language programming.
Retro: St. Louis Sunday September 16, 1984
For my 50th post, I submit this schedule from the early weeks of the 1984-85 fall season.

Re: Retro: St. Louis Sunday September 16, 1984
Looks like KSDK was skipping "Meet the Press" back in those days. Jimmy Swaggart was buying
time on both KSDK and KDNL, and Robert Schuller was on both KTVI and KDNL (although they
probably bought KDNL for a song!).
When did Mt. Vernon, IL's WCEE-13 (now IIRC WPXS) first become listed in the St. Louis edition
of TVG? IIRC, this unique small-town VHF indy signed on in 1983.
I don't know as of now when exactly the St. Louis edition started carrying WCEE's listings, but I
do know that it was included in the listings by the fall of 1984. My apologies for neglecting to
include WCEE-13 in my post. It was an oversight on my part, and I should be able to post an
updated schedule very soon.

Re: Retro: Kentucky Wednesday, December 4, 1963
A lot of game shows I've never heard of or recognize.............
Word For Word- Merv Griffin (probably some kind of memory game)
Missing Links- Ed McMahon (some kind of phrase game)
Your First Impression (sounds like a Candid Camera thing)
You Don't Say (must be a word you don't say)
People Will Talk (repeat this story 5 times)
Say When (we're gonna pour syrup on you for $$)
Dialing For Dollars (have heard of this, but for 30 minutes......that's a lot of dialing)

Re: Retro: Kentucky Wednesday, December 4, 1963

"Word For Word" required contestants to make as many
words of three or more letters as possible from a longer
base word. They earned time which the winner would
use in the bonus round to unscramble as many words as
possible.
"Say When" was similar to "The Price Is Right" (and both
shows were produced by Goodson-Todman); players were
shown items of merchandise and could choose to take them
or turn them down; the object was to accumulate as close
to $1000 in prizes in round one; $2000 in round two without
going over.
"Missing Links" had people with some unusual accomplishment
tell their stories, leaving certain words out, which the panel had
to guess.
"Your First Impression" asked a celebrity to fill in the blank to
a sentence about him- or herself; a celebrity panel was then
asked which of five celebrities gave that particular answer.
Richard Nixon was once asked: "I wish that I ________________,"
and his answer was, "had been a PT-boat captain."
"People Will Talk" brought together two contestants and fifteen
members of the studio audience; the audience members would

lock in a "yes" or "no" answer to a question like, "Is it OK to kiss
in public?" The two contestants then took turns picking from the
fifteen and trying to anticipate how they answered. This show
later became "Celebrity Game" (with nine celebrities instead of
fifteen average people), and was completely transformed into
"Hollywood Squares" in 1966.
"You Don't Say!" was similar to "Password": played by two celebrity-
contestant teams, one partner would give a sentence with the last
word left out; that last word was part of a famous name the other
partner had to come up with.
"Dialing For Dollars" was a franchised show that usually ran during
breaks on morning or afternoon movies. People at the station would
cut up phone books and place the pieces of paper in a barrel; the host
would establish the count (from the top of the page or from the bottom)
and the amount the home viewer could win if he or she gave both pieces
of information correctly. He (or she, if your name was Linda Faye Carson
on Atlanta's Ch. 11) would draw a slip from the barrel; if the count was,
say, 5 from the top, the fifth name from the top of the page would be called.
If they didn't get both the count and the amount correct, an amount of money
(usually the station's channel number in dollars) would be added and someone
else would get a chance later in the show.
Of the shows mentioned, "Dialing For Dollars" was the most successful, but
"You Don't Say!" ran on NBC for six years (1963-69) and was revived, briefly,
twice: on ABC in 1975 and in syndication in 1978.

Re: Retro: Eastern Illinois Sat, Nov 30, 1963

According to the Kentucky TVG listings for the same weekend, the NBC stations in that region
were showing an "Exploring" episode featuring an animated adaptation of Androcles and the
Lion.

Lion.
Comment?
Medicine was the theme tying the segments together...along with the Androcles segment
(narrated by Tom Bosley), the Ritts Puppets examine medical equipment, the Geoffrey Holder
dancers perform ancient witch-doctor rituals, and host Albert Hibbs offers a history of medical
practice and also speaks on Dr Waltyer Reed's fight against yellow fever.

Do you have the Western Illinois edition of TV Guide from that same date (which also had Peoria

Lion.
Comment?
Medicine was the theme tying the segments together...along with the Androcles segment
(narrated by Tom Bosley), the Ritts Puppets examine medical equipment, the Geoffrey Holder
dancers perform ancient witch-doctor rituals, and host Albert Hibbs offers a history of medical
practice and also speaks on Dr Waltyer Reed's fight against yellow fever.
That's absolutely correct. The Tom Bosley "Androcles" segment leaped out at me to the point I
ignored the rest of the show.
"Exploring" aired in pattern on the NBC stations in the Kentucky edition that carried the show
(WAVE, WLWT) as well as on those Eastern Illinois stations that carried it at noon (CT).
Now I have an unrelated question: when did WEEK switch to Ch. 25?

Now I have an unrelated question: when did WEEK switch to Ch. 25?
1964 (IIRC October of that year). And then channel 43 in the Peoria/Bloomington areas would
remain vacant for 18 years until the then-WBLN signed on in October 1982 (WYZZ since fall 1985
and Fox since the following year). Apparently after WEEK left channel 43 for 25, the COL for 43
must have been changed to Bloomington--because I recall reading in the local history section of
the Springfield public library a few years back regarding an effort to get an early cable system
here in Springfield around 1967--which I don't know if it got off the ground by that time.
Apparently there was an effort to get channel 43 back on the air as a Bloomington-based indy
(and IIRC an affiliate of the ill-fated Overmeyer network) around '67, and the proposed
Springfield cable system planned on including that station on their channel lineup. AFAIK, 43
never signed on back in '67, and we all know what happened to the Overmeyer network.

The 1963 Army-Navy game was notable for 2 things...Navy's Heisman-winning quarterback, one
Roger Staubach, and the fact that it was the first time instant replay was used on a sports
telecast.

Do you have the Western Illinois edition of TV Guide from that same date (which also had Peoria
in addition to Quincy, the Quad Cities, and KTVO Kirksville, MO/Ottumwa, IA)? If so, could you
post those listings if possible?
Unfortunately, I don't...the two editions I posted from are the only ones I've got for that date...

Re: Retro: Boston/Providence/Manchester/Portland Fri, Dec 25, 1959
I assume that NBC carried Washington Cathedral at that time;
Allbritton syndicates it today; coverage is provided by WJLA.
In the "Desilu Playhouse" listing I noticed the name Bob Osborne.
He's the same Robert Osborne you see on Turner Classic Movies;
at the time he was a student in acting school Lucy was running on
the Desilu lot. He has said that she leaned on him emotionally when
she was going through the divorce with Desi.
I also noticed the name Roger Perry. Within a year he'd be playing
James Harrigan Jr. on Pat O'Brien's "Harrigan And Son" (also produced
at Desilu); later he was on "Arrest And Trial" (the forerunner of "Law
& Order") and, in the '80s, briefly as headmaster of the school on "The
Facts Of Life." He's married to Jo Anne Worley; they used to appear
together often on "Tattletales," and I've seen some of the reruns on GSN,
although not lately.

Re: Retro: Boston/Providence/Manchester/Portland Fri, Dec 25, 1959
I see WHDH 5 in Boston is listed as ABC, CBS, NBC. Is that because the ABC schedule
was not as FULL as the others at this time? Or is this mostly just for the few shows
the local CBS and NBC didn't want?
Do you have any idea what shows the local CBS and NBC didn't air (that were on 5)?

Can you double-check this? I know that KHQA pre-empted Rudolph two years in a row. I was
thinking it was '83 and '84, but it may have been '84 and '85.

For that matter, owing to the odd timing during pledge season, did they use the special to make
a pledge to the station? Kind of odd that they would show a church-sponsored program, then
ask viewers to make a donation... to the station.

4:05am Movie "Terror on the 40th Floor"

Per IMDB, "Terror on the 40th Floor" was a 97-minute film. Did you mean to say 3:05AM rather
than 4:05?

"Reading Rainbow" had premiered the previous summer. It was originally a summer
replacement series on PBS each year at least through the '80s (for the likes of shows like Square
One, Electric Company in its final years, etc.). I wonder if WTVP continued to air the previous
summer's episodes throughout the year on Saturday afternoons (this was my home TVG edition
until relocating to Springfield--which actually received the Eastern IL edition--in 2002, and I don't
recall channel 47 airing Reading Rainbow on Saturday afternoons after the initial summer run in
its early years).

Did the Western Illinois edition of TVG not carry listings for KPLR-11 St. Louis (designated as
"11S" in that edition) back in December '83? From at least the mid-'80s to when local editions
were discontinued in 2005 I remember seeing KPLR's listings in the Western Illinois edition (back
when KPLR had wider cable carriage in areas like Springfield, Jacksonville and Quincy all in
Illinois). Ironically, from about the late '90s until the elimination of local editions, the Eastern
Illinois edition, which Springfield received, did not carry KPLR's listings (although IIRC
Springfield's cable had KPLR until as late as sometime during the '90s--perhaps a casualty of
"must-carry" rules around 1993).

The first year that KHQA pre-empted Rudolph, they ran either a Salvation Army or Red Cross
special...can't remember which. I remember that was on a Saturday night, so I thought this
might have been the night, but it must have been a year later. TV Guide's listings at the time
indicated the pre-emption, with WHBF and WMBD running Rudolph, and KHQA running the
Salvation Army thing.
The second year, Rudolph got pre-empted by a Billy Graham Crusade...I think that was on a
Tuesday or Wednesday night.

"I think I'd rather read a book or listen to some big band 78s."
That's what most people were doing if they weren't listening to radio that night. To give you an
idea of what radio listeners in New York were hearing that same night, shows on the NBC "Red"
network (on WEAF/660 in New York) included the talk show "Information Please"; the NBC
"Blue" network, predecessor of ABC (on WJZ/760) was airing Amos n' Andy and the Glenn Miller
Orchestra in concert; CBS (on WABC/860, predecessor of WCBS/880) offered Kate Smith, "First
Nighter" (orignal plays) and the Shirley Temple hour from Hollywood, and Mutual (WOR/710)
had Milton Berle. They all eventually ended up on postwar TV--except for Miller, who at the time
he was killed in a plane crash over the English Channel late in 1944 was also in talks with the
networks about a role in their postwar television plans with the idea of a televised variety
program a lot like what Berle and Ed Sullivan eventually launched in 1948. He, too, would
probably have been a major presence in the first 15 years of postwar TV if he'd lived to get
involved. (This from Miller historian Ed Ferland, retired Rochester and Toronto broadcaster who's
produced documentaries on him for public radio.) Radio's major talents were eyeing TV even in
1941 for its future potential, but the December 1941 schedule, from just two days before the
nation was pulled into war, shows they hadn't jumped in yet.

the NBC "Blue" network, predecessor of ABC (on WJZ/760) was airing Amos n' Andy and the
Glenn Miller Orchestra in concert
...Information Please was actually a game show in which listeners sent in a batch of questions,
hoping to stump a panel of four "experts," usually including musician Oscar Levant and
newspaper columnist Franklin P. Adams and John Kieran. Clifton Fadiman was the emcee; on
network TV, Fadiman would emcee The Name's The Same for a spell and filled in on What's My
Line? when John Charles Daly was absent. Amos 'n' Andy could not have been on WJZ; that
series was moved by NBC from their Orange and Blue Networks to the Red Network in 1935, and
sponsor Campbell's Soup moved the program to CBS (therefore WABC) in 1939. IIRC, Glenn
Miller's appearance on Blue that night was on The Coca-Cola Parade of Spotlight Bands; Miller's
Blue Network series, Glenn Miller's Sunset Serenade, had ended its run earlier in 1941, and his
3-nights-a-week Chesterfield Moonlight Serenade was on CBS...

Speaking of Amos 'N Andy. Me and my brother watched some TV episodes the other day
that he got from Netflix. In the last version on CBS 1951-53 (78 episodes) all the
actors were African American. WHAT WAS THE BIG UPROAR ABOUT? I didn't see much
of a difference between Amos 'N Andy than Sandford & Son (other than the time period).
I'm sure many African Americans of the 50's and 60's also found Amos 'N Andy entertaining.
I think the characters in many shows are exaggerrated. Shouldn't producers have the right
to make their characters as normal or exaggerrated as they desire?
Wikipedia says they used the multicamera technique even before "I Love Lucy". I think people
need to loosen up and enjoy life. It's ok if you don't want to drink beer on Sunday (or watch
A 'N A), but why should that give you the right to FORCE me not to drink it (or watch A 'N A)?
Amos 'N Andy rock and deserve much more respect and credit than they are given.

If you watch either of Glenn Miller's movies, "Sun
Valley Serenade" or "Orchestra Wives," it appears
he was developing a "family" of performers: Tex
Beneke, Ray Eberle, the Modernaires (with Betty Hutton's sister
Marion out front), the Nicholas Brothers (dancers);
during the war he would add Johnny Desmond. Sounds
like the makings of something like Lawrence Welk's show,
and IMO the music on a Miller TV show would have been
far superior to Welk's. All he would have needed to do is find
a TV-savvy producer, the way Welk did with Don Fedderson,
and a hit show might have emerged.
Do you have the schedules for the day before Pearl Harbor?

December 5, 1941 was post-NARBA, so WJZ (WABC) and WABC (WCBS) were at their current dial
positions, 770 and 880 respectively, on that date. WEAF (WFAN) 660 and WOR 710 did not have
to move when NARBA took effect the previous March.

Reading in the past about the Amos & Andy situation, I have to wonder if had the people behind
the show had taken a stand then and protested and make a big stink about CBS yanking the
show from syndication would the outcome been different?
Forgotten now but in the late 70's when Good Times entered sydication I can remember an
unemployed Baltimore woman was picketing WMAR ( they were airing the show ) saying how
Good Times was unfair to Blacks and such and how Good Times shouldn't be allowed to be on
TV..at all. The woman I believed also picketed outside Washington's WDCA and Norfolk's WTVZ
as well and for a time her movement was gaining steam, enough to had been featured on the
CBS Evening News. Then the actors of Good Times such as Esther Roole, Jimmy Walker, John
Amos, Ja'net Dubois and I think even Janet Jackson..well they went public ( at least in Baltimore )
BASHING this woman's comments about Good Times. I think it was Dubois who called this
woman "..a damn fool..PLEASE woman..SHUT UP ! !".
Anyway it wasn't very long that the woman who tried to ban Good Times disappeared to the
neighborhoods of Baltimore, never to be heard from again.

It would be about another ten years after these listings that WHSV would begin to offer weekend
news even though by the mid 80's WHSV would start to cut back on the religious programming
that they had aired outside of sports, Hee Haw and of course ABC programming. Local WAZT was
one chief reason as most of that kind of programming would move there.
When WHSV did start offering news on the weekends, they had their critics. The biggest was the
Harrisonburg Daily News-Record as that paper then ( and still do..in a way ) believe in that "Day
of Rest" rule. I say "in a way' is because since even though the Daily News Record still doesn't do
a Sunday paper for Harrisonburg they DO publish that Staunton paper..on Sunday but it isn't
available in Harrisonburg. Figure that one out.

Can you post listings for Tuesday, November 28, 1977? I was wondering if Eastern Virginia was
carrying "Soap" on ABC since many stations during that time were either pre-empting the show
or delaying it on account of the contraversy and subject matter that it drew mostly during the
first season.

Actually the closest TV station to Virginia that had blocked out Soap was Baltimore's WJZ who
had time was seen on many Virginia cable systems. Now WEST Virginia was a different story as
Huntington-Charleston's WOWK had said NO to Soap. Not so sure about WOAY out of Oak Hill
though.

Three North Carolina stations also said '"no" to "Soap,"
and two of them get into Virginia: WRAL Raleigh and
WGHP High Point (WCCB Charlotte was the third).
Charlotte viewers wouldn't begin seeing "Soap" until
WSOC switched from NBC to ABC in 1978; WGHP also
picked it up, but WRAL, AFAIK, never did carry it.

Back in the 70's didn't North Carolina have in place some sort of strict "morals clause" for those
who were employed to do TV and radio in that state? One of my former co-workers was offered
a job to do radio in Raleigh in the early 70's ( 1973 actually ) for then WRNC-AM. While he got
the job only to end up losing it later because he wasn't married ( that is what he said to me
anyway ). Come to think of it I seem to remember hearing 1110 WBT one nite back in the 70's
only to hear some annoucer saying that "..tonight is my last night on the air due to the fact that I
am not married and I can no longer be on WBT..I must move on.."
There could very well be more to all of this..but even if only 50% of this applies I can see "Soap"
being taboo in North Carolina..at least at first anyway.

I think Zanesville most likely would've gotten stations from Wheeling / Steubenville, which is
closer than Charleston or Huntington.

You may well be right on that. At that time (late 1960's) I had relatives that lived in Southern
Ohio in both Zanesville and the Athens area..As I recall, Athens did receive
Huntington/Charleston stations. I may have gotten the two communities confused..

I recall reading someplace that WHIZ TV and Radio and the local newspaper had common
ownership.
Probably why they were the only station listed. For sure they could get Wheeling/Steubenville
and
perhaps even a Columbus station or two.

Zanesville is 55 miles from Columbus, 58 from

Athens, 70 from Wheeling, and 205 from Huntington;
I don't recall WHIZ's being listed in any TV Guide edition
except Columbus, and I don't think it's likely that Charleston/
Huntington came in there. However, I think you'd have no
trouble picking up at least 4 and 6 from Columbus (10 I'm
not so sure about), and 7 from Wheeling. As for Athens,
Ch. 3 from Huntington should have come in pretty clearly
(about 85-90 miles, about the distance WBTV's analog
signal traveled into the North Carolina mountains and it, too,
is on Ch. 3); Ch. 13 might if its transmitter is high enough
above ground (again, WLOS's transmitter put its OTA signal
into six states, and it too was on analog 13); Ch. 8, being in
Charleston, I don't know about.

Shortly after my family moved from Cincinnati in 1961, the Southern Ohio edition of TV GUIDE
began listing WHIZ and also the station in Lima, Ohio. Previously this edition listed only
Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus.
I don't know how long this was in effect. I do know that when I visited Cincinnati again in 1974,
TV GUIDE's listings included only Cincinnati and Dayton.

It would have probably lasted until sometime between 1970 and 1973, because by 1974 the
Columbus area had its own edition of TV Guide. The Columbus edition, unless I'm mistaken,
would've likely included listings for Zanesville's WHIZ-TV. So in a matter of speaking, bpatrick was
right with regard to WHIZ being listed only in the Columbus edition.

Right. Columbus carried only Columbus and (I believe)
Zanesville; Cincinnati had Cincinnati and Dayton listings;
Dayton had all three, plus (IIRC) WLIO/35 Lima at one time.
The Athens PBS station, WOUB/20, was listed in the West
Virginia edition.

In 1982, WLIO would move from Dayton to the new Toledo-Lima edition, which featured the
Toledo stations that was split off from the Detroit edition.

I wonder when WHIZ got local color, as the news was listed without (c) next to it here.
I would suspect distance alone would make Columbus the area's source for other TV, particularly
when cable took hold.
What are other notable small televison markets
caught between larger television markets?
Right down the road from Zanesville is Parkersburg WV/Marietta OH, a similar sized market with
1 UHF (WTAP/15) NBC station, however WTAP has added FOX and CW subchannels. WHIZ seems
to be about the only one station market not to have added a subchannel or two.
WHIZ seems to be about the only one station market not to have added a subchannel or two.
Though they originally operated cable-only WB and CW outlets in Zanesville and Parkersburg --
this ended in 2008 when they were replaced by CW stations in Columbus or Portsmouth.
The CW affiliate in Portsmouth actually serves the Huntington-Charleston market
Can anyone comment on the overall quality of WHIZ? For many years, WTAP was not considered
on the cutting edge of technology. However, for a small-market station, they seem to be doing
fairly well. I've missed viewing them since this past February, when our cable system pulled up
stakes. We get several locals via Dish, but 'TAP isn't one of them.
I haven't seen WHIZ for a long time, but I imagine it looks about the same as your standard micro
market TV newscast. (Top story: Burger King Renovations! No, I'm not making that up:
http://www.whiznews.com/content/news...ng-renovations)
(OK, so I have no idea if it's their top story )
'TAP got a major tech upgrade when Gray came in. I remember the station when I was visiting
the region with my then-girlfriend in the mid-1980s...a single anchor at a table, no set, who had
to move the camera himself, and did so on the air!
The anchor/cameraman thing was probably common among tiny stations in that era, but I'll
never forget the guy actually GETTING UP FROM THE DESK on the air, and moving the camera
while the show was still going on!

I saw an episode of "Real People" around 1979-1980, which featured KYUS in Miles City,
Montana having a similar setup -- an anchor doing an entire news plus cameraman work, all by
himself. (KYUS has since become a satellite of KULR in Billings.)
Around the same time as that episode of "Real People", TV Guide did a story on the debut of
KCWY-TV 14 in Casper, Wyoming which was similar only in their case they did have a
weatherman.
...there had even been a syndicated sitcom in the late '70s, Please Stand By, in which a family
tried to run a UHF station in rural New Mexico all by themselves. Most of the storylines sounded
like these outfits...

After Pearl Harbor, TV schedules on the handful of licensed commercial and experimental

gradually diminished from a few hours a day to a few hours per week, before gradually
rebuilding postwar until TV stations ran 12 to 15 hours daily by 1950. Only a few thousand sets
were installed in private homes to watch any of these programs in the NYC area, a few hundred
in each of the other cities with stations operating...each of those sets set its owner back about as
much as a new Ford or Chevrolet.

11:25 (3/5) Movie "The Second Best Secret Agent in the Whole Wide World"
This film was a blatant knockoff of the James Bond franchise, which in Britain was originally
called "License to Kill" (unrelated to the later, actual James Bond film).

So MPBN had a separate cable feed in the 70s? Was this just to the Maritimes, or to Maine as
well?

As I mentioned in the 7/4 thread, I suspect that WMED had no microwave or telco connection
with MPBN or PBS at the time, receiving all its programming on tape.

Was this Burt Reynolds' TV series? If so, I thought this was a black and white program? I recall
NBC repeating "Hawk" around 1976-1977, and again in syndication in the 1980s -- in both
instances, it was in black and white.

It is indeed Burt's series, TVG has it listed in color.

TV Guide had an interesting definition of "Central Pennsylvania".
All of those places are pretty far to the east. When I think Central
Pennsylvania the Altoona-State College area comes to mind. And
perhaps Harrisburg.

perhaps Harrisburg.
Kinda like TV Guide's "central Virginia" edition and the lack of "central Virginia" stations such as
Richmond's.

perhaps Harrisburg.
Central Pennsylvania, by TV Guide logic, also included all the New York
VHFs except Ch. 13. Johnstown-Altoona had its own edition, which, IIRC,
included Pittsburgh and Wheeling/Steubenville.
Probably Richmond could have been included as black-on-white channel "bullets"
in the Central Virginia edition (as Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point and
Raleigh/Durham were), but the way TV Guide divided the country, most of
Richmond's coverage area was in the eastern part of the state, overlapping
Norfolk in some cases, such as Williamsburg. Keep in mind that to qualify for
inclusion in a particular edition, a station had to reach 15% of that edition's
circulation area. The Richmond/Petersburg stations have a decent coverage
area to the west, but a lot of it is toward Charlottesville and Harrisonburg, which
were also placed in the Eastern Virginia Edition, rather than toward Lynchburg
and Roanoke.
Quite frankly, I've seen some Adelphia Cable editions whose channel lineups
make more sense; for example, Southwest Virginia included Roanoke/Lynchburg,
Bristol/Kingsport/Johnson City, Bluefield/Beckley/Oak Hill, and Greensboro/Winston-
Salem/High Point. Virginia-Carolina had Richmond, Norfolk, Raleigh/Durham, and
WITN and WNCT from Greenville/New Bern/Washington.
TV Guide's system of dividing the country was somewhat esoteric and not easy
to explain.
However, near the end of the digest-size TV Guide era, Norfolk, Richmond, Roanoke/
Lynchburg, Charlottesville, and Harrisonburg were combined into a new Virginia State
Edition. Bluefield and the North Carolina stations were dropped.

For some reason I seem to recall the Washington and most of the Baltimore stations were
included in the Virginia state edition too.
I do remember what was the old Baltimore-Washington ecition was split between the two even
though other than the cable conversion section I don't think there was any difference between
the two as far as the actual listings were concerned.

Washington and Baltimore were not included in the 2004-05
Virginia State Edition, but you're right that the editions circulating
in Washington and Baltimore were the same except for the cable
conversion sections.
Another question: how is "Girl Talk" a 45-minute show on Ch. 6?
Assuming it's Virginia Graham's show, and I'm sure it is, it should
be only 30 minutes. What gives here?

Were they running "Dialing for Dollars" at the time? If so, that may explain the odd time slot.
If I recall correctly, the "Star Trek" episode aired that night was "Balance of Terror", which
introduced the Romulans, and Mark Lenard to the ST universe.

The funny thing about these TV Guide listings, easy to overlook it now but back in the 60's thru
the 90's, to have your own local edition of TV Guide for some folks ( mainly those who didn't
have a life ) well it meant pretty much the same as having your own pro-sports team, the local
airport becomes a hub, having your own Nordstrom, your own theme park..etc...it all meant BIG
METRO AREA..YOU HAVE ARRIVED ! ! Back in the 70's I can remember when a handful of people
who tried to get TV Guide to create a strictly Baltimore edition ( NO DC listings ) because they
felt that by having a Baltimore and Washington sharing the same edition somehow it gave
people the idea that both are "small towns". I can also remember that letter that appeared in TV
Guide in the summer of 1984 from someone in Indianapolis who bitched because Indy was in
the "Central Indiana" edition since these wasn't one strictly for Indianapolis. The letter writter
wrote that since Indy has their own NFL football team for TV Guide not to offer a "Indianapolis
metro " edition was a "slap in the face" to the viewers in Indy. Ah....hmmmmmm

The Star also lists a Spanish-language station on Channel 40, but doesnt indicate what the call
sign was; the current-day Channel 40 operation in Tucson, KPOL/KHRR, didnt sign on the air
until 1983, and then as an English-language indie. Perhaps this was a translator station relaying a
Spanish-language broadcaster from Phoenix or somewhere in New Mexico?

(The assassination of John Lennon took place during the next half hour in New York City.
Kathleen Sullivan, on the then-infant Cable News Network, presented the first national TV
bulletin of the shooting, a few minutes before Lennons death was announced at Roosevelt
Hospital in New York. Howard Cosell interrupted the Patriots-Dolphins game with the first
nationwide terrestrial TV bulletin of Lennons death. On the East Coast, an NBC utility announcer
Fred Facey, perhaps? broke into The Best of Carson over an NBC News Bulletin graphic with
NBCs first network bulletin; jarringly, with no more information than the simple announcement,
NBC went back to Johnny Carsons comedy piece. Obviously, as Carsons show hadnt yet begun
in the Mountain and Pacific Time zones, a separate bulletin was fed, presumably from Los
Angeles, interrupting the Chet Atkins special or Little House on the Prairie. As for CBS, I know
that Connie Chung did a KNXT Newsbreak headline report locally in Los Angeles, but I have not
ever seen or heard the aircheck of a CBS-TV bulletin about the murder. I assume CBS broke into
their rerun of Quincy on the East Coast, House Calls or Lou Grant in the Mountain zone, and local
fringe programming or Flo on the West Coast.)

That would be K40AC, now K48GX, a Telefutura translator. Ironically, Al Roho Vivo looks a lot like
Al Rojo Vivo, which I believe is on Telemundo and currently airs on KHRR ch 40.

I forgot to mention that K40AC was a repeater of KTVW-TV 33 Phoenix. The station signed on
barely two months after KTVW did.

While KOOL-TV channel 10 Phoenix (on tape) had a bit of wackiness with its daytime sked,
just who was programming KOLD-TV 13 Tucson? It's all over the place. And ATWT on a
day behind--what is this, Salt Lake City?
If "Mr. That Girl" was their cornerstone for 9 AM, just air the two sitcom reruns live 8-9, then
run the rest of CBS daytime on a one-hour delay in pattern from 10-3:30. Do that and you
get your noon news at noon, not 12:30...and no need for those half-hour delays.

Since the news title had a "41" in its title, I would think the station was repeating KWEX in San
Antonio -- the SIN/Univision outlet on channel 41 in Albuquerque, KLUZ, would not sign on until
1987.

I am aware that in the past, in the station IDs, the announcer will mentioned if the program was
"on tape" or "on film". What if it was a live program, either in the studio or live off the network
feed?

It may be that KTVW-TV was getting the news program from KWEX, but K40AC was a KTVW
repeater, according to their original construction permit from the FCC:

Re "Nightline": at the time it was on 11:30-11:50 (ET/PT)/
10:30-10:50 (CT/MT), although with the option to expand
when necessary. Since these listings were obviously printed
before the John Lennon murder, it would stand to reason that
"Nightline" was expanded that night. Keep in mind that in the
Eastern and Central time zones it would have aired 30 minutes
after "Monday Night Football," since those ABC affiliates would
have had local news at approximately 12M/11 PM, and possibly
in the Mountain time zone as well, if the game ran past 10 PM.
I would suspect that a separate, updated edition of "Nightline"
aired at 11:30 (PT), since it was not uncommon for ABC to
update a breaking story for the West Coast.

Then simply "KOOL-TV channel 10 Phoenix." Unless they decided to "bless the nation."

One small nitpick spelling error...
40 at 2:30 is listed as "Juventude" the last E is not needed. I imagine there were some Spanish
spelling errors in these listings.
Surprised there's no KNXV (signed on 1979) in this list, but this may be a VHF-only list.

Is Meza 12 the NBC for Phoenix? I don't see one.
Yes it is.
Surprised there's no KNXV (signed on 1979) in this list, but this may be a VHF-only list.
...well, it's possible (probable?) that KNXV didn't carry into the Tucson market very well. The
Arizona Daily Star is a Tucson paper...

Eureka, we've pinpointed the birth of Cinemax! ;D
Funny..This was a probably a 1933 Crime flick with Thelma Todd that was shown..TV Guide at this
point was kind of sparse with movie descriptions.
Sometimes I wish my DirecTV menus WOULD be a little more sparse in describing
late-night movie listings! :

Is that the name of a talk show host, or was this an infomercial for a cooking
utensil, brought to you by the folks who make those fine hammers and screwdrivers?
So tell me, oh Chef of de Futcha, can it baste a turkey?
That was a typo (caused by the S and X buttons being close together ), the last name should read
Baxter.

First, if i'm not mistaken I think the date of this listing might be December 11th 1976 and not
September 11th 1976; i'm pretty sure that the Division 2 title game wouldn't be in September ;D
Second, oddly enough both of these teams could concievably meet today in the regular season;
Montana State is in the 1-AA Big Sky Conference, while Akron is in the 1-A Mid American
Conference.
Yeah, and Frosty the Snowman in September? This is obviously a December listing.
Oops :...that should read December 11th, not September 11th. When I proofread it, didn't
realize I bunged up the date

11:00 Portland Wrestling (yep, you read that right...a PBS station airing rasslin' )
I remember this -- one more way in which Tacoma got labelled as the "rednecked" town in the
Puget Sound area by folks up in Seattle...
The back story is that wrestling had ran on this station when it was a commercial operation, until
it went bankrupt in December 1974. When the station was bought by the Clover Park School
District, they decided to keep wrestling on to see if it would attract some viewers who wouldn't
otherwise tune in to public TV. The hope was that some of those viewers could be encouraged to
try some of the other programming on the station.
I guess it didn't work out, since the wrestling broadcasts disappeared after a year or so.

It was interesting to see the listing for KSTW. In Vancouver, we didn't get KSTW on our cable
listings until 1978. That was when my family got our first converter box and "remote" control. It
was another box with clunky push buttons on a wire, with a slide button for the channels above
13! With the converter we were able to see an extra 12 channels including KSTW. We didn't get
KCPQ until September 16, 1981.
I notice that there was no listing for CKVU 26, which came to the air on September 05, 1976. I
guess it wasn't on cable in the Seattle area?

Wasn't CKVU on channel 21? Channel 26, as I recall, was the CBC French service.
Listing for CKVU did appear in the Western Washington edition of TV Guide, but I can't
remember exactly when that station was added to the listings. But I don't think it was much after
the date of these listings that it did get listed. But so far as I'm aware, cable systems in Seattle
and Tacoma did not carry CKVU. I'm guessing that the listings were for the benefit of viewers in
the northwestern corner of the state, where (presumably) it could be received OTA and would
likely be carried on cable as well.

Yes, that's why we never could get channel 22 very clearly, although the signal did come through
occasionally, once CKVU moved of 21. I was able to see channel 20 on very very hot days, and
watched Bob Larson, but why would you want to be indoors on a hot day. I used to dream about
getting those obscure UHF channels - now it's for naught -

Re: Retro: Carolina-Tennessee Monday, December 14, 1970

Every ABC affiliate in this edition ran the 6 PM ET "practice feed" of ABC News.

With the exception of Ch. 40, which also carried CBS,
I don't think any of the ABC affiliates would have dared
go head-to-head with CBS and NBC at 6:30 at that time.
WLOS was particularly successful running ABC News at 6;
they didn't move it to 6:30 until 1979, and for most of
those years their 6:30 show was "The Andy Griffith Show."
Given where WLOS is located, need I say more?

Re: Retro: New York City, Tuesday, December 14, 1948
This was just six weeks or so into DuMont's great daytime TV experiment, which started Nov. 1,
1948 when WABD began signing on at 7 AM with an all-day lineup of live shows from the
Wanamaker's studios.
DuMont, of course, had nothing to lose, unlike NBC, CBS and ABC, which were trying to protect
their established daytime radio audiences as best they could.
It was an idea far ahead of its time, though it lasted for three years or so before Dennis James
decamped to ABC and WABD reverted to an afternoon sign-on. The WABD daytime programming
began to be fed to the network January 12, 1949, though I doubt many stations picked it up.
(David Weinstein's 2006 book, "The forgotten network: DuMont and the birth of American
television," is a must-read for its chapter on DuMont's daytime experiment.)

What and where exactly was Park Arena?
There were boxing and wrestling shows coming from St. Nicholas Arena,
whose history is well-documented. But I can't seem to find any info about
this Park Arena.

Re: Retro: North Carolina Saturday, December 16, 1972
2:30 Porter Wagoner (guest is Stringbean; the

"Hee Haw" regular and his wife would be
murdered less than a year later when they
surprised a burglar after arriving home from
a Grand Ole Opry performance)
That was a sad, tragic affair. He and his wife, despite his fame and income, remained simple
mountain folk to the end, with a nice car being about their only extravagance. They also retained
a typical backwoods distrust of banks, and hid bundles of cash around their home, a fact that the
burglars were probably aware of. IIRC, it was family friend "Grandpa" Jones who found their
bodies when he went to check on them.

geez....that choice of programming certainly explains why they spend so much time
out drinking in pubs!
(and I am Irish....so no letters on that please! ;D )
Oh, I don't know... that seems like a pretty diverse line-up to me. On the whole, it's certainly
better than what most broadcast-only viewers in the U.S. would have been able to watch in 1999
-- despite the smaller number of channels.

Brought to you in glorious 405 line black and white!
Like I said, that lineup would certainly make me want to go out
and spend more time in the pubs!

I dunno, On The Buses is a good bet. Several years ago, I saw a live stage performance of On The
Buses, written specifically for a Vancouver, Canada audience. It was fun seeing Rose and Mum
again.

However, 625-line service for color was already in use at the time, in addition to 405 -- though as
you can see, there were still some programs that were black and white only.
11.40
BBC1 Schools
Did the listings include which schools programs were seen? Many British schedules included a
list of what was seen during the block, along with their times.
Also, did any of these channels close down during the day, then restart later?

BBC2 World Cinema "Ivan the Terrible: The Boyars' Plot"
...unless BBC2 obtained an inferior print, this should have been in mixed monochrome and
colour, as one sequence was among the first to ever be filmed in colour in Soviet cinema
history...

The listings didn't indicate the names of the schools programming...I suspect that the BBC
channels signed-off at some point during the daytime; the ITV stations didn't come on the air til
around mid or late afternoon.

Re: Retro: New York City, Monday, December 20, 1948
"Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts" had made its
television debut two weeks earlier; it had been
on radio since 1946. It would be the number-one
primetime show in the 1951-52 season, at which
point both it and "Arthur Godfrey And His Friends"
would be in the top three. Both shows' ratings
would slip after the Julius LaRosa incident in 1953,
but "Talent Scouts" would last until 1958, with several
revival attempts in the '60s, hosted by the likes of
Jim Backus, Merv Griffin, and Art Linkletter.

Re: Retro: DC/Baltimore/Delmarva Tues, Dec 20, 1977
hmmm....as I recall I probably watched way, way too much television in '77,
but I do not recall this Laugh-In Christmas Special. Seems to me Rowan and Martin
were long gone from my dial by then. Wasn't Dan Rowan off enjoying retirement on
his houseboat in Europe?
Curious why I do not see Captain Chesapeake listed on Channel 45 in Baltimore.
The same people owned WPTT in Pittsburgh when it came on the air, and the same
actor did double-duty as Captain Pitt. Often times they would screw-up and run
clips of the Baltimore show with his other identity in Pittsburgh. The girl who played
Taylor would get visibly upset and think she blew it when she would start reading a
letter from some kid in western Maryland (who would actually have been watching
the Pittsburgh show)

Actually, this was a series of revival specials, with an all-new cast (which also included Robin
Williams) and a different guest host each week. Neither Rowan nor Martin participated, though
they later sued producer George Schlatter for bringing the series back without their say-so.
These specials would later be repeated on a weekly basis in 1979, after "Mork and Mindy" took
off on ABC.
4:00 Dinah! (guests William & Marcy Lafferty Shatner, Rita Moreno & Dr Leonard Gordon, Vidal

I assume Mr. Payne's mate was his plunger? ;D

The reason why Captian Chesapeake wasn't includied in these listings is that in 1977 the "show"
was more/less just clips of the captian and his sidekick "Mondy" the sea monster shown
between and during the shows within the 3 to 5pm block. Example: "...three bells..time for the
Flintstones". I also seem to recall Captain Chesapeake also doing the legal ID between shows too.
Interesting thing about Captain Chesapeake/Pitt which was played by the late George Lewis. For
the longest time its been rumored that movie director John Waters actually has a script done
where the main character was based on none-other than Captain Chesapeake. A TV kids show
host from Baltimore who enjoys his taste of Jack Daniels. No secret over the years that Lewis
enjoyed his booze...often a bit much.
I don't think that John Waters has ever said one way or the other about the Captain C script but
then again I don't believe Buddy Deane or WJZ knew about Hairspray either..until the flick was
already made..with enough changes in the script to avoid "legal issues".
Here's hoping that Will Ferrell never gets wind of this board, and never makes a movie about a
drunken
Sea Captain/TV kids show host.

off on ABC.
And by then, in any case, there would appear to have been some bad blood between Rowan &
Martin and Schlatter - the latter of whom had sued to ensure that the final 1972-73 season
(made after Schlatter and Ed Friendly left, and Rowan & Martin took over as executive
producers) was neither included in the 1980's syndicated package, nor aired during the last days
of the Trio channel, nor any episodes from that season put out on DVD.
And part of the reason for Rowan's semi-retirement after the end of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In
in 1973, from what I read, had something to do with his being a Type II diabetic.

Jack died on 12/12/76 so you are close. I wonder if the reason for this show to be aired was to
milk the publicity surrounding that fire? For weeks after Jack's death the press kinda had made a
big deal of his will ( he had left zero for Shirley Jones and David Cassidy ) and that Jack Cassidy
was jealous over the success of his sons David and Shaun.
...as to Jack's being jealous of Shaun's success, I rather doubt, as Shaun's first TV series (The
Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries) and hit records didn't start until 1977, after Jack had died.
Highly ironically, Jack had played a man who kills himself in his sleep by accident in "The Last
Laurel," which was the second part of the 20 January 1971 broadcast of Rod Serling's Night
Gallery; the first part of that broadcast was taken up by the Serling classic "They're Tearing Down
Tim Riley's Bar," co-starring William Windom, Bert Convy and John Randolph, which earned the
program an Emmy nomination as the Outstanding Single Program - Comedy or Drama of 1971...
Since the show had already been taped and NBC certainly
wasn't going to scrap it, the network probably didn't mind
whatever publicity came with airing it. It didn't do anything
to save the show, however; it and "50 Grand Slam" had their
last telecasts on Dec. 31, as did "Somerset".
Did they tack on any sort of disclaimer or announcement? I vaguely recall similar situations in
which a network would announce that the show was taped prior to the person's recent death.
(Which seems obvious, but given the "live" look of tape, maybe they thought some viewers
would be confused.)
I believe if memory serves ( from interviews of Jones & Ingels and David's mid 90's bio ) Shaun
had signed up with David's old agent ( Ruth Aarons ? ) in mid 1976. Knowing how successful
David was, chances are Jack Cassidy had an idea that Shaun would be a success in his own right.
The impression I got of Jack Cassidy from David's bio was that Jack was jealous..of just about
anybody who was a success since his own career really wasn't all that much..compared to Shirley
Jones, David Cassidy and Shaun's anyway.
I just remembered that epsidoe of "Playboy After Dark" that had Hugh Hefner interviewing
Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski, wonder if they did the same such as adding a disclaimer, that is
if the show with Tate had aired past August 1969 when she had became a vicitm of the Manson
family.
Then there was, of course that cooking show that was never aired which Bob Crane had done
not long before his murder. Then again with that show Bob was making tasteless sex jokes about
some female members of the audience which of course had nothing to do with cooking pasta .
Had Bob Crane not told those jokes during the taping, my guess would be that the show would
had aired, perhaps with a disclamier.

Now THIS was what the now-defunct PAX network should have looked like... although I'm not
sure if I agree with scheduling a shoot-em-'up western right after a block of religious
programming...
I'm curious as to the length of the "news" that aired at midnight. Just five minutes or so of pre-
sign-off headlines?

Re: Retro: Eastern Virginia Monday, December 20, 1976
Actually, if you think like Pat Robertson, a Western after
a block of religious programming is not at all illogical. He
has said that he sees Westerns as morality plays, where
good always triumphs over evil; he also likes the father-son
relationship between Lucas and Mark McCain on "The Rifleman".
I think the midnight newscast was five or ten minutes of headlines;
Ch. 27 signed off right afterwards.

My guess would be that WYAH pulled a WBFF/Baltimore here meaning more/less anchorless.
Instead of an anchor, one hears a voiceover reading the news with the skyline of Norfolk or
perhaps Virgina Beach shown since they are really the only two cities of Hampton Roads then
and now that offers a skyline of high rises.

Jack died on 12/12/76 so you are close. I wonder if the reason for this show to be aired was to
milk the publicity surrounding that fire? For weeks after Jack's death the press kinda had made a
big deal of his will ( he had left zero for Shirley Jones and David Cassidy ) and that Jack Cassidy
was jealous over the success of his sons David and Shaun.
Remember that Jack and Shirley divorced two years earlier, in 1974 as Partridge Family was
coming to the end of its four-year run in the multi-colored bus on ABC. At this point, according to
David's autobiography, he was really coming apart, drinking prodigiously and giving full vent to
his eccentricities. His animosity toward his family should be understood in that light, in that Jack
felt he was a has-been, being relegated mainly to appearances on game shows like Stumpers and
talk shows like Merv Griffin and Mike Douglas, just to keep himself in the public eye. Who
wouldn't be upset when a son, no matter how well you think of him, achieves sudden fame as a
teeny-bopper idol, when you struggled to move up in the Hollywood system for years like almost
everybody else? In the early 1970s, this was a fairly unique situation, and I can't honestly think
of any parallels these days (not that the subject occupies my attention much, anyway).
Myself, I always loved Cassidy's style, a product of the finest Broadway traditions that are now
long gone.
Remembering David's autobiography and past interviews with Shirley Jones, I can't help but
wonder if Jack Cassidy had what is now known as bipolar disorder, of course his drinking didn't
help the situation either but in the 70's, well who knew of bipolar much less how to treat it
anyway? There is debate to this day as to whether or not if Joan Crawford had bipolar such as
one minute "..I love you Christina darling" and the next beating her while screaming "..NO WIRE
HANGERS ! ! ". In Cassidy's case I have read in the past ( maybe it was in David's book ) where
Jack Cassidy not long before his death was seen screaming and pounding a coffee table, calling
himself "Jesus Christ" because of the initials "J.C.". Today if Jack ( or Joan ) was diagnosed by a
doctor as having bipolar, there is treament for it..sadly not so much in the 70's.

...of course, to add to that, Jack Cassidy was a marvelously talented actor who seemed to be
typecast more in Hollywood than he was on Broadway, and that had to take its toll. Let's face it,
if you're a good performer, the first person who's going to know it is yourself. Even Marty Ingalls,
Shirley Jones' second husband, has always been quick to point out that Jack deserved much
greater fame than he got...

Re: Retro: Lancaster/Lebanon/Harrisburg/York Sat, Dec 23, 1978
Wonder why the listings for Washington's WRC are included here? Can one even pick up WRC in
Lancaster?
OTOH I can understand WTTG being included though since they were for all intents & purposes
in 1978 a regional "superstation" and they were quite popular in PA..as was WTTG's sister..NYC's
WNEW. Which brings up this question...wonder if there were any cable systems in PA at the time
of these lsitings who had offered BOTH WTTG and WNEW?

I'm a bit puzzled that this smaller-market station--which could not air a couple of
weekend cartoon delays in color--could do a half-hour delay on a one-hour show
(Iron Horse), and air it in color too.

...boy, Bill Paley and Frank Stanton must have had a huge affection for Charles Dickens ;D ...
...interesting that Kenny Baker's name should pop up here. Baker had been the tenor on Jack
Benny's Jell-O Program on NBC radio, but left that show in 1938 because he was becoming too
popular as an individual attraction and General Foods didn't want to pay the money Baker
demanded for a new contract. IIRC, he did appear on Benny's annual "Christmas shopping"
episode in 1939, ostensibly bumping into his successor, Dennis Day, in a New York department
store. He appeared in 17 Hollywood musicals, including Stage Door Canteen, but returned to
radio on Fred Allen's Texaco Star Theater over CBS from 1940 until Allen's sabbatical from radio
in '42. Baker also appeared in the original cast of the musical One Touch of Venus on Broadway.
For such a successful career, it's interesting that today, if anybody mentions the name Kenny
Baker, the most likely point of reference is to the actor who was inside the robot R2D2 in the Star
Wars movies, or even the similarly-named musician who was part of the '60s pop group Spanky
& Our Gang...

Yesterday Turner Classic Movies showed "The Man Who
Came To Dinner" with Monty Woolley from the early '40s;
in the credits I noticed the name Russell Arms. The name
may not mean anything today but for several years in the
'50s he was one of the stars of "Your Hit Parade" (along with
Dorothy Collins, Gisele MacKenzie, and Snooky Lanson).
Barney Fife even mentioned Kenny Baker once, when he
was about to replaced in the Mayberry community chorus
(Gomer, of course, was the first pick).

I had never heard of Kenny Baker until I began listening to old Jack Benny radio programs of the
30's. He had a great voice but in comparing him to Dennis Day I find Dennis' singing and his
comedy more enjoyable than Bakers. It's as if Baker originated the character but Day perfected
it.

IIRC, [Kenny Baker] did appear on [Jack] Benny's annual "Christmas shopping" episode in 1939,
ostensibly bumping into his successor, Dennis Day, in a New York department store.
...just checked my OTR tapes, and it was actually the 1940 "Christmas shopping" episode, and it
wasn't Dennis that Kenny bumped into but Benny himself. However, earlier in the same program
it was claimed that Kenny had been showing Dennis around New York the prior week...

Don't you think there must be a spot somewhere in the triangle of Louisville-Lexington-
Cincinnati where folks could get most of the stations from all 3 cities?

If there ever was, I'd guess it was about 10-20 miles north
of Lexington, and that the only Louisville channel picked up
OTA would have been Ch. 3. Lexington is 70 miles east of

Louisville and 78 miles south of Cincinnati. However, if WBTV
Charlotte (also on Ch. 3) could put a signal 90 miles from its
transmitter, I don't know why WAVE couldn't. But that's all
conjecture; someone who's more familiar with the area can
better answer your question.

With the way TV signals are transmitted today, I don't know where you'd have to be. However, in
decades past, you should have been able to pick up the stations from all three cities anywhere to
the north and west of Lexington without too much of a problem. Of course, it would have been
good to have an antenna with a rotor. You should have been able to get three Lexington
channels, two or three channels from Louisville and four channels from Cincinnati.

Most folks in Lexington prior to cable had the ability to receive all three cities. I'm sure around
Owen County is an equal spot to all three cities. Also, the bulk of cable systems around Lexington
received all three cities prior to syndex.
If there ever was, I'd guess it was about 10-20 miles north
of Lexington, and that the only Louisville channel picked up
OTA would have been Ch. 3. Lexington is 70 miles east of
Louisville and 78 miles south of Cincinnati. However, if WBTV

Until 1990 WAVE didn't have that coverage. When they built the Oldham County tower they had
equal coverage to WBTV. WAVE's Grade B covered Lexington and Cincinnati. But the tower was
built twenty years too late and proved unusable for digital so it sits there today unused.
It was around this time, 1978, all three Lexington TV stations banded together to win Frankfort.
Even though Frankfort was less than thirty miles away from Lexington it belong to the Louisville
TV market that was fifty miles away. The campaign included print, outdoor, radio and of course
TV. Eventually, the effort was successful and Lexington won two ratings in a row and Franklin
County was added to the Lexington TV market and has been that way ever since.

Seems like Frankfort may have been able to get some stations from both Louisville and Lexington
also.

...and Cincinnati. IIRC, both cable systems carried all three cities. Yes, Frankfort had two cable
systems; a privately owned and municipal.

Slightly off-topic but the reference to the successful effort by
the Lexington stations to win over Frankfort reminds me that
in 1980 they did the same thing to win over those counties in
southeastern Kentucky that watched mostly Knoxville or Tri-Cities
stations; their campaign was based around the idea that if you lived
in that area and were not watching Lexington stations you were missing
Kentucky news. I think it worked; I know WYMT Hazard (a semi-satellite

of WKYT) has made a lot of inroads since then.
But don't think Louisville stations have disappeared from Frankfort cable,
and, in fact, WHAS has a correspondent who covers the legislature and
the governor's mansion. What I do find strange is that the Lexington
newspaper is easy to find in Frankfort; the Courier-Journal is not.

With regards to WAVE-TV, Channel 3, and its coverage area. I know back in the early 1960's, it
was the one Louisville station that could be regularly received over the air in south-central
Kentucky - some 100 miles away from its tower. At the same time, WAVE-TV was something you
could pick up in the Cincinnati area both before and after the 1990's.

That didn't stop them from airing "The Price Is Right" a half-hour early every day...
So, if WCPO aired "M*A*S*H" at 10 AM, and "All In The Family" at 11:30... what did they
normally air at 3:30 PM?

The issue in Southeastern Kentucky was coordinating the large number of cable systems. Back in
the day, most counties had several cable providers that didn't want to mess with UHF. Even
though Channel 19 Kingsport and Channel 26 Knoxville were closer, cable systems would have
Channel 13 out of Huntington or Asheville for ABC.
I was told that the sequel to winning Frankfort was influencing Pike County to gravitate towards
the Lexington market. The idea didn't move forward because of the effort to coordinate a large
number of cable systems to do away with Huntington/Charleston and the Tri-cities.

Yes, and it paled in comparison with another Sesame Street special that debuted that year --
"Christmas Eve on Sesame Street" on PBS. Both specials were nominated in the 1979 Emmys for
"Outstanding Children's Program", with the PBS special winning.

I think the problem revolved around the "CBS Afternoon Playhouse"
which aired at 4 PM the week of Dec. 4-8 and pre-empted "Match Game";
it was a five-part special called "Joey And Redhawk" which WCPO aired at
3:30; as I pointed out, they got it a half-hour ahead of the rest of the network
so the 4 PM movie could air on schedule. Normally, "Match Game" ran at 10 AM,
moving "All In The Family" to 11:30 and pre-empting "Love Of Life"; "M*A*S*H"
normally aired in pattern at 3:30, but with no "Match Game" that week "M*A*S*H"
filled the opening at 10 AM.

Fyi: WTVK-TV 26 is now WVLT-TV Channel 8. Now a CBS affiliate. WTVK was ABC then, WBIR was
CBS then. Now WBIR is NBC, WATE was NBC, now is ABC.

I forgot to hit "don't use smileys" so the 8 would be visible
instead of the smiley face for WVLT. While I'm aware that
there have been two rounds of swaps in Knoxville (WATE/WTVK,

NBC/ABC, in 1979; WBIR/WTVK (WVLT), CBS/NBC in 1988), I
do not as a matter of practice list the station's current affiliation
if it has changed since the time of the listings; I prefer to keep
the network affiliation as it was then. WTVK was, in 1970, an
ABC affiliate and I prefer to show it as it was then.

Just a guess but WKPT probably did news Saturday to build loyalty. They had just signed on the
air and the owners did everything possible for success.
Obviously Channel 26 migrated to Channel 8 but I have read somewhere (wiki or here) WKPT's
owners attempted a frequency swap with WSJK.

That is kinda like what the long defunct Martinsburg, West Virginia's WYVN FOX 60 did..not just
60 minutes of news during the week with "FOX 60 News at Ten" but even on weekends too, just
to set themselves apart from Washington's WTTG and Baltimore's WBFF since neither at the
time ( early 1990's ) did 60 minutes of news on weekends.
It didn't work.

No doubt because the FCC prohibited VHF/UHF channel swaps, mainly to protect UHF, and also
to protect public television as much as possible. I remember when WAGA went to Fox in 1994,
the new CBS affiliate in Atlanta, WGNX (WGCL)/46, tried to swap frequencies with WGTV/8, and
the FCC turned it down.
Interestingly enough, re the FCC's attitude toward public television, PBS ended up on a higher
channel in three markets following a frequency swap: Nashville (PBS moved from 2 to 8), New
Orleans (8 to 12), and El Paso (7 to 13). In all three
cases the ABC affiliate got the lower channel.

I read that sometime in the 1980s in Tampa Bay, indie WTOG ch.44 wanted to swap channels
with pubcaster WEDU ch.3. The FCC honored that request, but for some reason, the swap was
never consummated.

The old WSUN TV-38 made the same request when their days were numbered after WLCY
became the ABC affilate.

A religious station airing "In God We Tru$T", a movie where GOD was played by Richard Pryor
and with the great and infamous ( debatable ) Andy Kaufman playing the role of a TV preacher
and wasn't actor Marty Feldman who despite playing a monk in this movie, I believe in real life
was actually an athiest.
"In God We Tru$T" was actually a funny movie BUT to see this among the listings of a religious
station? Odd ! ! This would be somewhat like Pat Robertson's old CBN Cable airing movies even
if they were edited such as "Midnight Cowboy" or "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice".
I'd be willing to bet that this was actually some non-commercial religiously-oriented film with
the same title, but when whoever compiled the details for the listings plugged it into some
database or other, the 1980 commercial farce came up, hence the spurious release year. Note
that the title is spelled without the dollar sign.
Actually the Marty Feldman movie was spelled without the dollar sign in listings for HBO and
Showtime at the time too, like the 1971 movie "$" with Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn as that
movie was spelled "Dollars" in many of listings.
Went to IMDB and even though there were a number of movies over the years called "In God
We Trust", prior to these listings only two had that title. The 1980 movie here and one made way
back in 1913. Oh course on the other hand like Wikipedia, IMDB isn't always right either

Actually, maybe it was another film, as the film is only scheduled for 60 minutes, and the original

The TV supplement of the Post Dispatch listed the film in question as starring Andy Kaufman and
Marty Feldman. I don't know if there was another film made with that title besides the two
versions (1913 and 1980) already mentioned. One thing to keep in mind is that with regard to
movies, Channel 24 usually showed contemporary films made by religious organizations, B-
westerns and public domain films. So a possible explination is that the version of "In God We
Trust" that was on Channel 24 was a film made by a religious organization.
Unfortunately, the local edition of TV Guide at that time didn't carry the listings of KNLC during
its early days. And it wouldn't be until the time between early 1985 and mid-1986 that Channel
24 would be listed in TV Guide. Exactly when TV Guide started carrying KNLC is unclear, as far as I
know.

I don't have them at this time, so it might be a little while before I can find and posting listings

How about posting the schedule for WHYY?
It's nearly the same as the one I posted in the Summer 1993 thread... Believe me, SS mainly
aired in the 7am, 9am and 3pm weekday slots from the mid-1980s to the late-1990s..
I thought you said for Summer 1993 it aired at 4pm. I think it was mainly when Arthur premiered
that a lot of PBS stations did away with the afternoon airing of SS. Though I know that WHYY still
had it on at like 1pm or so until the mid 2000s. Do they still air it twice a day even, or no?
Do they still air it twice a day even, or no?
Yes. They air it at 6am and 10am.
Hey, I need the answer to this question: Camp Candy, the animated series starring John Candy
which ran from 1989-90 on NBC was syndicated to local stations during the 1992-93 season. The
show only made 19 episodes. Were other series in it's syndication package? (i.e. like how Legend
of Zelda/Super Mario 3/Super Mario World joined Captain N in a show titled Captain N & the
Video Game Masters that ran during that same season.)
Also For A Fact That Worldvision Enterprises Syndicateded "Camp Candy" During The Fall 1992-
93 Season As Many Of You Didn't Know That?
What was on WPHL at 6:30-7:30 PM?
Lol, forgot to list it... Married with Children

Camp Candy, the animated series starring John Candy which ran from 1989-90 on NBC was
syndicated to local stations during the 1992-93 season. The show only made 19 episodes. Were
other series in it's syndication package?
Weren't new episodes produced for syndication, along with live-action intros featuring Candy?
Yes They Were, I Looked That Up On Wikipedia And IMDB, But What About The Older Ones That
Were Aired On NBC From 1989-1991? Did Worldvision Syndicateded Them Too?

Re: Retro: Central Florida Saturday, December 30, 1967
Shame on channel 9 Orlando for airing only half of American Bandstand. Was this a
one time deal? I've never heard of a station airing only half of a program. 30 minutes
of Popeye might have been a better choice.

Check out snipets of it on You Tube - weird and yes, somewhat creepy!
I have no memory of this one, I guess I was just too little and my parents had me watch
something else. And I am thankful for that because this cartoon is the stuff of little kids'
nightmares!!!!

Ch. 9 wanted to get its wrestling show in before ABC took
over at 2; that was the reason "Bandstand" aired for only
30 minutes that day; Ch. 10, as I'm sure you noticed, carried
"Bandstand" for the full hour.

Ch. 10, as I'm sure you noticed, carried "Bandstand" for the full hour.
Yet their local counterpart, "10's Bandstand", was only 15 minutes, no doubt so they can clear
Kiplinger's program before ABC Sports started at 2PM.
Kind of funny for the kids to come to the studio to dance for only 15 minutes.

Again, though, I'm sure that was a one-time-only situation;

I wonder if they even had any kids on the show that day.
