Retro: Salt Lake City, November 15, 1951
Source: Deseret News
Television in Salt Lake City started in 1946 with experimental W6SIX (which became KTVX Ch. 4).
Regular-scheduled TV programming started on April 19, 1948, with as then known callsign KDYL,
followed by KSL-TV (Ch. 5) on June 1, 1949. KUTV did not sign on until 1954, there were only two
stations in Salt Lake City at the time of this listing.
Trivia: KTVX was originally known as W6SIX in 1946, then KDYL in 1948, then KTVT from '53-'59
(now used on Dallas' Ch. 11), then KCPX for many years in the 60s and early 70s, changing to
KTVX in 1975.

Regular-
I would be pretty sure this W6SIX callsign is incorrect. Other sources suggest it was W6XIS.
(W6SIX would be a ham callsign)

Chance of A Lifetime was problably ABC, though it did show up on DuMont in 1952 and after.
Danger was definitely a CBS Show..

Re: PITTSBURGH, Tuesday December 24, 1957
I take it that WTAE-TV channel 4 hadn't signed on yet?
4 signed on just about a year later. They have or are about to turn 50, I don't recall the exact
date.
I do remember there 25th. Anniversary Special, which ran over Christmas, 1983. They cleared
the
schedule and ran only episodes of old shows and commercials, dating to 1958. It was
tremendous
fun! (especially since that Christmas brought a -10 Arctic Blast, and none of us were leaving the
house
over Christmas). Sadly they seem to have no similar plans for number 50.
WTAE's sister station in Baltimore WBAL-TV, when they turned 50 they did something similar to
what you describe as to whatWTAE did for their 25th. In WBAL's case while they didn't show old
commericals, they DID showed a number of old WBAL promos dating back to the 60's, clips of
many many of thier local shows ( some from the 50's ) and even vintage news openings. A few
years back a good friend of mine had an interview with Baltimore's 98 Rock ( in the same
building as WBAL ). I remember her telling me that WBAL after all these years kept such things as
the wrestling ring dating back to when WBAL would air live wrestling, a complete kitchen from a
mid 60's cooking show and even a bowling alley from the old 1970's Pinbusters show ( WBAL's
version of Bowling For Dollars ).. To her a tour of WBAL really was a mix of checking out the
current gear and a trip into a time machine. Wonder if WTAE has as much history stored at their
place?
The lack of plans for a 50th, Buffalo's WKBW recently had their 50th and I am pretty sure most of
the celebrating was done via-clips and reports on their local news ( if they did it elsewhere, its
not on You Tube ) meanwhile LA's KNBC I read on this site is planning to do some bigtime
celebrating to celebrate their milestone next year.
Sometimes it can be almost as interesting when a station refuses to celebrate a milestone like
their 50th as if they did. In a market I used to work in, a local radio station had turned 60.
Despite having lots of tapes , photos and records ( this station saved just about everything ), not
only did they refused to talk over the air about their birthday but they even refused to allow the
local paper to do a story for them, Why? For 35 of those 60 years, the station had the same
morning guy however in his later years he had become more of a drunk and an a-hole so the
station canned him. Had the station did anything for their 60th, they would have had to deal
with this man again ( in other words they could not overlook him ). So rather than dealing with
him or whatever, their 60th milestone was swept under the rug while it could have been
something special.

WKBW aired a one hour special yesterday at noon (Christmas Day). The hour comprised of
segments already done on the news in May and November. There was only one new clip they
showed, a 1959 promo for Doris Jones' "For the Ladies." It was disappointing to see some
montages were merely cut and pasted from their 1993 35th anniversary show.

It looks as though WIIC, Channel 11, also had some ABC-TV Network programs in Ozzie & Harriet
and Broken Arrow for example although those appear to have been aired by delayed broadcast.

Is Josie on KDKA Josie Carey, who did NBC's 1955
kids' show "Children's Corner" with Fred Rogers?
I know that some of the puppets on that show were
later used on "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood."
I also see KDKA isn't carrying "As The World Turns" at
1:30. What was it about that show that kept it off
KDKA for so long (moving "Guiding Light" to 10 AM a
couple of years ago wasn't a brilliant move, either)?

Allen Ludden almost had to be on CBS. That was
"Password"'s network at the time; also, he was an
adopted Texan (although born in Wisconsin) who
graduated from the University of Texas and taught in
the Austin public schools before beginning his broadcasting
career. As to why Betty White was on NBC, I have no idea.
Has anyone noticed the lack of special programming on ABC?
The following year they carried the Tournament of Roses
Parade (I remember Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the
hosts), and the ratings were a disaster. ABC didn't carry
the Rose Parade again until it got the Rose Bowl in when,
'89? Now it seems as if CBS is getting out of New Year's
programming; they no longer have the Rose Parade and the
only football game they had this past Thursday was the
Gator Bowl.

I did some research on what Betty White was doing during this time. It seems she was a regular
panelist on what would have been the original run of "Match Game" on NBC which ran from
1962 to 1969. It seems it aired at 4pm live, so there are very few remaining episodes. The
"Match Game" that most of us know is a revival that appeared on CBS starting in 1973.

Re: Retro - North Mississippi (Tupelo) and Memphis: April 2-8, 1983 (Weekend)
WMC-5/NBC--Memphis
Saturday:
2:00 PM Conway Twitty
3:00 PM On The Mississippi
About this time,Conway Twitty had a special called Conway Twitty On The Mississippi where he
sang on a cruise ship and one of his guests was Loretta Lynn and if I recall this was a 2 hour
special,however on Sunday WREG at 10:30 PM showed this as On The Mississippi and this was a
hour special.
R. Martin is Roland Martin who was a hunter/outdoorsman in the same category of Bill Dance in
that Bill was a fisherman.

IIRC, WMC did its local news at 5:30 on weekends

and pre-empted NBC News. I know that for years,
it carried the weeknight editions of NBC News at 6.
(Kind of off-topic, but KXAS/5 Dallas/Ft. Worth used
to pre-empt NBC's Saturday news and ran its local
news at 5:30 because Hee Haw came on at 6.)
Press Conference (Saturday 6:30, WHBQ) was local.
I'm not sure what Channel 13's wrestling show was,
but it couldn't have been the same as Channel 5's
(maybe Bill Watts' show from Shreveport, that covered
Arkansas?).

The Memphis wrestling show was edited down to one hour for markets outside Memphis.

They were one in the same. WHBQ and WMC had the same hosts throughout its entire run (BTW
they just titled the show "Wrestling" complete with the same fonts and a shot of a bronze statue
of two wrestlers locked in hand to hand combat while the theme from "2001:A Space Oddessy"
is played in the background).
As for "American Bandstand" being pre-empted at WHBQ, that would end by 1984 when they
resumed carrying the show.
The "Superman" version that WREG was carrying was the 1950s George Reeve TV version.

The current call letters of Channel 3 in Memphis are WREG,
unless they've changed back and I haven't heard about it.
The call letters were changed from WREC when the FCC
was enforcing the crossownership rules, since there's a
WREC radio station (same thing happened in Nashville,
where WSM-TV became WSMV and WLAC-TV became
WTVF).
Re the wrestling show on WHBQ: I wonder why they
didn't do what Jim Crockett Promotions did here in the
Carolinas. They had two shows, "Mid-Atlantic Championship
Wrestling" and "World Wide Wrestling," both taped in Raleigh
and with the same wrestlers, but with different announcers
(Bob Caudle and David Crockett on "Mid-Atlantic," Rich
Landrum and Johnny Weaver on "World Wide") and a different
station lineup for each; for example, in Greensboro "Mid-Atlantic"
aired on WXII/12, while "Wide World" aired on WGHP/8.

The calls are still WREG, per the FCC:

Not sure when WHBQ would've changed its opening to the "2001" theme, but as late as 1975,
the opening was very simple: a closeup shot of the ropes, with "WRESTLING" super'ed ... and a
jingle playing: "You'll see America's faaaavorite spoooorts.... on W-H-B-Q, TEL-UH-VIH-SHUN.....",
fading out and cutting to Lance Russell and Dave Brown.
The show moved to WMC-TV 5, I believe, early in 1977. Living in Tupelo at the time (and WHBQ
being our only ABC station available), and suffering "Bandstand" withdrawal, I was anxious with
anticipation when Lance Russell (WHBQ's arch-conservative PD) crossed the street to channel 5.
The TV GUIDE's listing for Channel 13 at 11:00 read: "TO BE ANNOUNCED"
With bated breath, I was in front of the telly at 11:00 Saturday morning. Nope, no "Bandstand."
Channel 13 replaced wrestling with their "Million Dollar Movie". @#$%!!!!!!!!!
The "Superman" version that WREG was carrying was the 1950s George Reeve TV version.
If I'm not mistaken, WREG had prints of every ep of the '50s series in their (massive) film library.
They used to run "Superman" off and on throughout the '70s, as well.

Wrestling moving from channel 13 to channel 5 was one of the biggest tv stories of the 1970s in
Memphis. Wrestling was huge in Memphis during those years. The weekly Monday night show
at the Mid-South Coliseum drew regular crowds of 10,000 or more.
When the show moved, it had new hosts (Clay Conrad & Bob Young) replacing Lance Russell and
Dave Brown. Lance was quoted in the paper as how much he was looking forward to having
Saturdays off. But after only a few weeks on Channel 5, both Lance and Dave moved to WMC.
Dave Brown became 5's main weatherman a postion he holds to this day.
Memphis has to be the only market where a change in wrestling had such a huge effect on news
ratings. Prior to 1977, channel 13's Eyewitness News was #1 in news. As soon as Dave Brown
moved, channel 5 became #1 in news. This was true until earlier this year, when channel 3 finally
became number 1.
I know several other markets didn't carry American Bandstand in the 1970s. I know New Orleans
didn't and I don't think Dallas carried it.
It seems like channel 13 showed a lot of Abbott & Costello, Ma & Pa Kettle and Francis The
Talking Mule movies in Bandstand's slot after wrestling left.

Was this a local evangelist, or a spinoff of "Perry Mason"?
Since it was an hour, it was obviously the original Perry Mason. You should know that.

Isn't KPAS actually KPAX?
Yes it is.
Also, "World News Now" should be "World News Tonight".

Re: Retro: Montana Wed 8/30/89
Very interesting listings. Mountain Time zone TV stations have some unique way of deciding
when to air some daytime shows.
The Spokane TV stations are on the West Coast, so it looks like that their daytime lineups are
following East Coast time slots, but you've add an hour in Mountain Time, and their prime time
lineups look an hour late on Mountain Time. Subtract one hour in the Pacific Time zone and they
are normal.

Also, the Williston stations are on Central Time - thus programming from 3 separate time zones
in one TV Guide (Central, Mountain, & Pacific)...
Even though some of the western parts of ND are in Mountain Time, TV programming is based
out of Bismarck and/or Minot and runs central (similar to KCLO/15 in Rapid City, SD - which is
Mountain Time - and is a satellite of KELO/11 in Sioux Falls - which is on Central Time resulting in
Letterman at 9:35 locally...).
Jim
Where is FOX?
Probably no affiliates yet in Montana, unless the other stations show it on a delay on the
weekend.

The nearest full-time Fox affiliates at the time would have been KAYU/28 in Spokane and
KRTV/12 in Nampa/Boise, ID. Montana didn't get it's first broadcast Fox affiliate under KOUS/6 in
Hardin/Billings flipped to Fox several years later.

I'd like to see somebody post a weekday of 1972 Arizona TV listings retro. If I recall, the Phoenix
stations (I was visiting my aunt then) had the daytime shows on from the East Coast feed live.
"Three on a Match" aired at 1:30pm Eastern Daylight time, which was 10:30am Mountain
Standard Time (Arizona never observed Daylight time back then as well as today), and some of
the shows from the East coast feed that would have aired from 7am Arizona time were delayed
to air after 1pm. I guess the ABC 3 station aired the entire ABC East coast feed live from 8:30am-
1:30pm.

Channel 12 in Boise was KTRV; KOUS was on channel 4, flipping to Fox as KHMT (channel 6 was
KSVI, which opened in 1993).
Thanks...that's what I get for writing that post when I was getting sleepy...

Re: Retro: West Virginia Tues, Sept 11, 1979
I believe it was season 4 for Three's Company. It debuted
as a midseason entry during the 1976-77 season.
When was WDTV channel 5 added to the West Virginia edition?
Apparently this was during the period of time WDTV was off the air after an ice storm destroyed
their tower..
WDTV showed up in the WV edition about 1980.

Re: Retro: Portland, Oregon: Wednesday October 9, 1974
One thing I forgot to add for KGW - Channel 8 (NBC)
11:55 AM NBC News
KPTV - Channel 12 (Ind.)
AM
Noon Jeopardy!
This, too, was also on NBC.
I didn't know that it was still on NBC at that time, I had thought it was cancelled. One other
station in Oregon was carrying Jeopardy! at Noon and that was KMED - Channel 10 (NBC, ABC) in
Medford, all the other stations were carrying news at Noon.
I also noticed that Jeopardy! was carried on KATU at 7:30 on Wednesday nights. I didn't know
that Jeopardy! was even carried in syndication until I saw this. How long did this last in
syndication the first time?

Do you have that same day's listings from the Western Illinois edition? (which included the Quad
Cities, Quincy, and Peoria stations plus KTVO-3 Kirksville, MO/Ottumwa, IA--I don't think
Springfield's WICS-20 was included in the Western IL edition until about the late '60s).
Unfortunately, I don't...all I've got from Illinois from that week is the Eastern edition.
WEEK 43-NBC Peoria (and WEEQ 35-Urbana)
WEEQ was listed as Urbana? The city of license was LaSalle - it was operating on the same
assignment as is used today by TBN's WWTO.
The transmitter was located just east of Tonica near where my parents live. Oddly enough, they
received a better signal from Channel 43 and later 25 than they got on Channel 35 despite living
closer to the WEEQ transmitter. They had the same thing happen with channel 71. They picked
up a better signal from channel 31. they did get a better signal on channel 78 than on 19 though.
They took down the transmitter tower a couple years ago. Also the TVG ad for channel 78
including Ottawa and Streator would make sense as both towns are near La Salle Peru.
Do you know when WEEQ-35 went dark? (I do remember when WWTO signed on at channel 35
in 1986, and I also remember you once saying that WMBD kept their Tonica translator at channel
71 until perhaps as recently as 1980 when they upgraded their signal).

Cleveland) and change it's call letters from WXEL to WJW-TV..[Note:WJW would be based on
Euclid Avenue till 1977, when they would move to its current studios at 5800 South Marginal
Road]
Wasn't it in 1977 (on April 22, 21 years and one week to the day after this call letter change) that
Channel 8 adopted the WJKW-TV calls for an eight-year sojourn? I seem to have read that they
moved to the South Marginal studios on Nov. 2, 1975.
Wbhist:
Thanks for catching that error..WJW did indeed move to the South Marginal site Nov. 2, 1975,
and change the call letters to WJKW in 1977. For some reason I had the move two years later..
(which I would have corrected in my original post if we were allowed to edit them)

A check on Google reveals the place to be a country music hall and restaurant in Tobaccoville,
NC:

Did TV Guide mention who was on the show? If it featured mainly country-western acts, there's
(probably) your answer.

Re: Retro: North Carolina Friday, January 31, 1975
The listing didn't give any information, so
I didn't know what kind of music it was.
I'm not surprised, though, that it would be
in North Carolina; this was, after all, on
North Carolina's public-TV network.

This was an NBC program -- all the channels listed were NBC affiliates:
57 WKYH-NBC Hazard
Team World consists of William Shatner, Susan George, Britt Eklund, Maud Adams, LeVar Burton,
Robert Powell, Bo Swenson, Conrad Bain, Twiggy and Alex Trebek...with the play-by-play: Ed
McMahon, Bruce Jenner, Richard Dawson and Jack Klugman
If the show was "US Against The World", why are some of the team members American (to my
knowledge)? By the looks of things, this was NBC's answer to "Battle of the Network Stars"
(apparently, short-lived).

I just find it hilarious that when it came time to decide what programming to pre-empt to make
room for Billy Graham, that they tore into the primetime lineup. Nobody dare touch the mighty
Bugs Bunny! ;D

I doubt it was taped from WGBH; they never usually aired the marathon. It was only on the
networks here in Boston.

I wonder just what "Bugs Bunny" show that was. Per the schedule, they aired The Bugs
Bunny/Road Runner Show in pattern that morning, so it wasn't a tape-delay (and even so, the
original was 90 min. and this was a 30 min. slot). So, I assume one of the syndicated Looney
Tunes packages, or maybe a local show that ran older BB shorts (the ones not in the network
package)? In any case, yeah, 7 pm Saturday night is an odd time for this.

Did other PBS stations show the Marathon highlights as well? If so, where would they have
gotten the highlights from?

12 M News
Jack Paar is on NBC 10:15 (alternate join 10:30) to 12 CT, however it
airs on WAVE-TV 10:50-12. This must be a JIP.
What is Not For Hire and how is it so important that they skip the
first part of Paar?

Through much of the 1960s, KVOA-TV Tucson did the same JIP thing
with Paar/Carson, running only the last 45 minutes, 10:15-11 MT,
following a 15-minute newscast.
Don't ask what KVOA did to prime time (I've mentioned it in other threads).
Not for Hire was a single-season (39 episodes, 1959-60) syndicated crime drama, starring Ralph
Meeker as a U.S. Army criminal investigator.
It's not just that, but also the 20 minutes of news that also cut into Paar. Maybe the way Paar's
show was structured, 10:50 was a convenient, relatively seamless point to JIP? (More so than
10:30?) But wasn't the 105-minute version of Tonight designed so that the first 15 minutes was
relatively "expendable?"

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati/Evansville Monday, February 1, 1960
The first 15 minutes of "The Tonight Show" were so
expendable that when stations started expanding their
11 PM news to 30 minutes, Johnny Carson refused to
do his monologue until the full network was in place,
leaving Ed McMahon and then-bandleader Skitch Henderson

to fill the 11:15-11:30 segment. The first 15 minutes was
eliminated altogether in January 1967.
As for WAVE, I'm wondering if there was a commercial break
on the Paar show just before 10:50 rather than 10:45, which
would have made it feasible to join the show at 10:50. Like
you, I find the starting time a little strange.

For whatever reason, WTVT doesn't run Lucy on Monday night, but
delaying it to Wednesday at 8 also causes Lost In Space to be on
a one-week delay as it's network time is 7:30 ET.
Save AM radio...kill I-CRAP.

Re: Retro: Central Florida Wednesday, February 2, 1966
WTVT ran a movie from 7-9 on Monday nights.
Lucy is on a two-night delay; "Lost In Space"
is indeed on a one-week delay.
You'll note a similar situation on WDBO; they
have the Smothers Brothers on a delay from the
previous Friday. They ran a movie from 9:30-11
on Friday nights, pre-empting "Trials Of O'Brien"

and putting the Smothers on delay. "Lost In Space"
aired Saturdays at 5 in Orlando, on a four-day delay.

Boy, with cramming all those ABC shows into the schedule, they sure didn't have to fill a lot of air
time with local/syndie stuff, huh? Looks like each station had less than 2 hours of non-network
stuff.
But the BIG question is: why would KIVA not carry Carson? KBLU had Joey Bishop -- this must
have been one of the few markets (maybe even the only one?) in which Joey's show ran
unopposed by Johnny.

Re: Retro: Yuma, AZ, September 11, 1967
Also, another thing that is very weird- Snap Judgment, a late 60s NBC show, was not aired that
day on KIVA, and replaced by Linus.
-crainbebo
Perhaps since it would have been on so late (12:30am)?
KBLU-TV had either an OAI pickup of, or a microwave link from, KOOL-TV Phoenix
for their primary CBS affiliation, and one or the other from KTVK Phoenix for at
least Bishop--I'm not sure if the out-of-pattern ABC stuff was recorded off of
KTVK or shipped to KBLU on film or tape.
OTOH, the KIVA-TV NBC feed was from Burbank, not New York (neither directly nor
via KTAR-TV Phoenix), hence the Pacific Time plus one hour airings of many NBC shows.
I've seen postings elsewhere which claimed KIVA had a Telco line from El Lay, and
others that said it was a microwave link, with at least one very long hop. At that
time KIVA probably had very little VTR capability.
But as I recall from one of my TDITVH items, even back then wasn't a big hunk, if not the
majority, of their viewing audience actually on the California side of the border? So, those times
would apply in Yuma proper, but many of the viewers would still get Johnny at 11:30 if they
carried it in pattern.
Besides, by 1967, I'd find it hard to believe that even a small-market station like that didn't have
at least one VTR -- if the timing was a problem, couldn't they have run Carson on a one-day delay
but at an earlier clock time? I know, some of the monologue may then be dated (since Johnny
often referred to that day's news events), but given the popularity of the show, if I were a viewer
in Yuma back then, I would have felt that slightly stale Johnny was better than no Johnny at all.
Just to complicate matters, was Arizona on year-round standard time back then, and did that
mean the whole market would have been in sync as regards clock time for at least half the year?

BTW, what is the source for the listings, craigbebo? What edition (if any) of TVG were the
Yuma/El Centro stations historically listed in, given the remoteness of the market? Were they
just lumped into a general Arizona edition or what?

I suppose the answer was/is--which "metro" is bigger, Yuma or El Centro?

AZ observed DST in 1967, the only year since WWII "War Time" (which had its
own oddities).
Yeah, those 8:42pm MDT sunsets in Phoenix in late June really ticked off a few
folks, not to mention the drive-in theater lobby. Mommy couldn't get little Billy
to go to bed, because "it didn't get dark until 10:00" (yeah, right).
(sarcasm on) Oh, and that "extra hour" of sunlight we got. (sarcasm off)

I know from TVGs in my own collection that Yuma-El Centro was listed in the Phoenix edition in
later years, but I can't say for sure what was done earlier than that...I've heard rumors of a Yuma
edition, but don't know more than that...

If Joey Bishop came on at 10:30, then he
went off at midnight. So if Johnny came on
at 11:30, they'd be against each other for
only a half-hour; I'd think Joey would have
the advantage with the earlier start time.
I don't ever recall "The Doctors" being 25
minutes (or for that matter, any other NBC
soap), and by that time "Let's Make A Deal"
had expanded from 25 minutes to 30. And
what is this "Afternoon Report" at 1:30 on
KIVA?
As for the TV Guide question, I never remember
seeing Yuma/El Centro in any edition until the
later days of the old-style TV Guide, when it
was in the Phoenix edition (didn't the Phoenix
and Tucson editions merge?).

Carson would have aired on KIVA at 12:30am MT in the summer of 1967
and in all winter periods. Other summers before and after would indeed
have been at 11:30pm MST/PDT.
The Arizona edition was split into separate PHX and TUS editions
sometime in the early 1960s. I don't recall YUM being in the earlier
combo or the stand-alone TUS, at some point YUM started appearing
in the PHX edition, but that may not have been until the 70s or 80s.
Does anyone remember the :20 TV Guide film spots that used to air
on local stations, topicalized with whatever article(s) they wanted
to plug? I think it was a trade-out deal with the station, one perk
being the station higher-ups (GM, dept. heads, the Herb Tarleks)
got a free TV Guide each week.

I recall from kibitzing with other TV geeks over the years about how there were a handful of
stations and small markets that because of their remoteness were never listed in TVG at all, or at
least weren't listed during a large portion of TVG history. But that sounds like a topic for another
thread entirely (q.v.).

I think that at 1:25, KIVA aired an NBC News update, then the "Afternoon Report" at 1:30, which
was probably a news program.

By an amazing coincidence, I was the technical director/operator at KIVA on the night of the
listing you posted. To answer some of the specifics:
1. We did, in fact, get our net feeds by microwave. We had off-air receivers on Santiago Peak in
Orange County that then hopped to El Centro. From there, we had a single channel microwave
to the Yuma studio that went to Black Mountain, then back down to Yuma. It covered a lots of
sandy area at a fairly low angle, so we had a lot of multi-path fading in the evenings during the
summer. Even as late as September, I probably had a "please stand by" slide in the film chain.
KIVA was a dual ABC-NBC affiliate. We accomplished switching the net signal by means of a UHF
radio system that had an now-old-fashioned dial in the control room, and a receiver with
probably a large stepping relay in El Centro. You'd hold down the transmit button, dial 7, the El
Centro switcher would togle over to ABC, and away you'd go. One of our on-going challenges
was that the two networks didn't use exactly the same timing for their show ends, so when
going from one to the other we'd sometimes have more commercials on the log than the break
permitted. I worked weekends once in a while at KYUM radio, which was a NBC station. We got
the old Monitor program over there by ATT long lines.
2. The tower was in California, still using the original DuMont transmitter, but the studios were in
Yuma. As indicated, we used California time. The primary reason we signed off at midnight was
that money was tight, there wasn't much in the way of local advertising after 11, and they'd have
had to pay me overtime to stay later.
3. Yeah, we were short on VTRs. We had Ampex 1000 serial number (I believe) 3. It was a
machine that originally got fire-damaged at NBC. Running two VTR's in one break meant that I
had to roll in something from the film chain, dash back to the VTR, change the tape, then run
back to the console in time to roll it and cut to it. Things got pretty exciting around there.
4. Everything local was black and white, with one of those classic old film chains that consisted
of two Bell and Howell projectors and a double slide carousel. The chains had this habit of
deciding to toss a take-up belt every once in a while, and you'd have to stick a pencil in the take-
up reel and turn it by hand between commercial breaks. We also had a pair of those screwball
audio machines that were built around giant magnetic floppy discs. (RCA Audiomat comes to
mind) The darn things never stayed in alignment, and you'd throw a disc in, hit the button, and
get double voices.
5. To indicate what our financial situation was, we went off the air one night, and I called the
transmitter operator who reported he'd had one of the detectors that monitored air circulation
around the finals trip. Those things were little "wings" attached to a microswitch, and they'd
frequently give up the ghost, so I told him to just bypass it and put us back on the air. Shortly
after we returned to air, the GM, having noticed how quickly that happened, called and chewed
me out. He pointed out that, with our revenue non-stream, we could be off for several days and
it would still be cheaper than losing a final through overheating.
Fun days!

Oh, and...
Note the network news at 8pm, and the difference between KBLU's timing and ours. KBLU got
their net feed from Phoenix, presumably on Mountain time, and we got ours from L.A. The times
in the listing appear to be mountain time. At the end of day, we played back a pre-recorded local
newscast, then signed-off by 11:30 Pacific Time.
I can understand the NBC stuff being in color, but wasn't ABC also running most of its schedule in
color by 1967? Seems that all of the ABC shows were run in monochrome. Microwave issues?
Could some of ABC daytime still have been B&W in late summer 1967?
The other reason would be if a prime time show was aired out-of-pattern
(not picked up off-air from KABC), it was from a 16mm film print shipped to
KIVA on an x-number of days or weeks delay, and their film chain was B&W.
Assuming The Fugitive at 5:30pm was the first-run series, this would have
been nearly a two-week delay and have been the episode aired on ABC
August 29 at 10/9 Central. Or more properly (cue narrator William Conrad)
"Tuesday August 29: the day the running stopped." And the day that
Lt. Gerard ceased to be the most hated man in America.
Still, if they took any ABC shows "live", then those would have been in color, I presume. I can see
where if they had no ability to do local origination in color, and they were forced to either run
film or tape then that explains it. But all of the ABC stuff being delayed? They must have had a
hell of a deal with NBC, then.

The afternoon ABC stuff was off the microwave and I remember it being in color at some point
before I left in spring of 68, so either the old Guide is wrong on that, or my memory is. We did
have some ongoing issues with published program schedules not having correct info re: color.
That Fugitive episode would have been on 16mm. We mixed 'em up. When we had a time
conflict in "Prime Time" (such as that was down there) we usually resolved it by airing NBC live
and taking the ABC show on film delay.
The interesting challenge was the SS KIVA show, which had cartoons, spots, live video, and audio.
One of the spots was for a place called "Big Burger" whose jingle is still seared in my memory.
The cotton picking thing had something like 15 slides in the spot and you had to change them by
hand in time to the music. Lots of running around for a one-guy booth crew!

Sorry, but saying "airing NBC live" while knowing just how the feed got to you
(KNBC-TV off-air pickup, et al) just doesn't seem right.
I guess stations in that type of situation always wait for the magic day when they
can finally control their own destiny, such as when (in 1977, IIRC) KOLD-TV Tucson
finally re-established its own Telco line from CBS, after years--since 1960 or so I
was told--of being tied to a microwave link from KOOL-TV Phoenix for CBS programs.
And worse, it was almost always a "dirty" KOOL master control feed, not a clean feed
of the network or net delay from their tape room.
BTW, during network movies or specials that crossed the TOH sans station break,
how did KIVA cover the lower-third KNBC or KABC ID?
Geez, did you have to direct the show too? Or "just" as TD or audio? From how you
described prime time chores, for S.S. KIVA you probably also had to load films, tapes
and re-rack the slides!
I worked weekends once in a while at KYUM radio, which was a NBC station. We got the old
Monitor program over there by ATT long lines.

...KFIZ-TV/34 Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, as I recall, was still all black&white on local origination at
the time they went dark in November 1972. Even the AWA "All-Star Wrestling" and "Roller Game
of the Week" were in black&white; this suggested to me that they were getting videotapes of
the shows or an OTA tape-delay from WVTV/18 Milwaukee and had only a b&w VTR to use...and,
regarding "Monitor," on a 1974 appearance on Tomorrow with Tom Snyder, "Monitor"
contributor Jean Shepherd told Tom that one station in Kentucky had been bootlegging
"Monitor" off the NBC line without 30 Rock knowing about it until the station called them to
complain about NBC changing the timings on the newscasts during the show ;D ...

I like this thread , for several reasons, mostly personal:
1) I remember it being discussed before on R-I that Arizona was something of a "black hole" as
far as network TV transmission was concerned until the late '60s.
2) My stepfather, before he met my mother towards the end of the '70s, would sometimes be
sent to Arizona (often, Yuma) from the East Coast on business.
2a) On a 1981 vacation I stayed in Yuma one night while making my way from Phoenix (I'd flown
out there from Philly) before going on to San Diego.
3) Friends of my mother's who lived in the apartment on top of ours for a spell (when my mom
was newly divorced) now spend their winters in Tuscon.

Setting Yuma aside, it having been dissected, sliced, and diced in this thread...
The Phoenix affils were Telco lined. Daytime pretty much live New York origination.
Prime time (oversimplified)--take the 7:30 ET hour and flip it (usually tape) to 9pm,
clear the rest live (CBS/NBC); run the whole schedule in pattern on 16mm film but
amazingly enough the same night, not a week late (ABC).
The Tucson affils were like Fort Worth compared to Dallas (apologies to Amon Carter,
and no JFK jokes please). NBC had a Telco line, but its VTR resources were limited
and unreliable (low-band color, breakup, scalloping, banding, no DOC), resulting in a
patchwork schedule of live net, one-week tape delay, two-week 16mm film delay,
some shows airing on odd days. Film chain (RCA TK-26?) looked horrible, included
the old RCA "back-flip" multiplexer. ABC/CBS affils were not fed by AT&T, but had
microwave links from their Phoenix counterparts for network delivery, hence their
schedules would be identical to what was airing up the road, unless the Tucson
station wanted to delay it even further, by tape machines also of dubious reliability
or by picking up the 16mm film print sent down on Greyhound the next morning.
2a) On a 1981 vacation I stayed in Yuma one night while making my way from Phoenix (I'd flown
out there from Philly) before going on to San Diego.
I believe I-8 was finished through Cali by 1981, so you should have been able to
go straight through. Of course, there's the decision on how to get from Phoenix
to Gila Bend--do you take the "two lanes of terror" (AZ 85) or detour slightly using
the "I-10/I-8 two-step" via Casa Grande?

Do you recall if the films were shipped to KIVA as part of the affiliation (ie, no cost to station) or
did KIVA have to pay for the privilege?

I don't know what the financial arrangement was, but we were a dual NBC/ABC affiliate, and we
carried some ABC shows live, so it seems likely they were part of the affiliation. When I was at
CBS TV City in the early 70's, we were still recording kinescopes for one affiliate, and shipping
tapes of the newscasts to Hawaii and Alaska on a daily basis. We also bicycled TV City network
delay tapes to one station, so it wouldn't have been out of character for the time period if ABC
was 'networking' in part on film.

Now there's a good question. We had title slides for each show, so if we bothered to cover it at
all, that's probably how. TBC's didn't exist, and our net switch was always non-sync composite.
For killing the audio promos, we'd just pot down, listen to them in cue, then pot up again.
As far as SS KIVA goes, it varied. Sometimes the TD was a one man band, directing, loading, and
audio, other times our weather guy or production guy would direct. For the news show, "Uncle
Bob" Hardy would direct and run audio. We usually did both shows with one fast-movin camera
guy.

to Gila Bend--do you take the "two lanes of terror" (AZ 85) or detour slightly using
the "I-10/I-8 two-step" via Casa Grande?

Oldiesfan, you made we wish I'd kept the Rand-McNally AZ/NM map and the Gousha' Phoenix
street map (with metro map on the other side) I purchased at our hotel in Scottsdale during that
1981 stay. ;D But I didn't so I must rely on my memory (and my 2009 R-McN atlas).
Yes, I-8 was complete across CA by mid-'81. I can still see the water tank in El Centro with the
line marking "Sea Level" painted on it. We took AZ 85 out from PHX to Buckeye where 85 did a
90 degree turn to the south, accessing 8 in Gila Bend. Saw no snakes or gila monsters.
Around the Maricopa Co./Yuma Co. line, I-8 enters some mountains and due to the contours, its
wb and eb roadways cross over one another, so that for several miles, it feels as though you are
driving in the UK or Australia or Japan IYKWIM (I've never been those countries, but I've seen
pictures/footage of their traffic). I-5 in the Tehachapis north of L.A., I've seen in online pictures,
does the same thing.
Getting back to AZ 85 for a moment... nowadays 85 begins at I-10 in Buckeye, but in 1981, 85
began in Phoenix, I believe, because I-10 coming from Tuscon terminated near Sky Harbor and
resumed somewhere around Goodyear, although I-17 was available for getting to points north of
PHX.
Now, getting back closer to the topic... we didn't watch any TV our night in Yuma. Our motel (it
might have been a Motel 6) charged extra for TV and as we were just passing through, we
forewent it, though we did drive down to San Luis, AZ and walked through the gate to its
counterpart in Mexico.

...one more point of similarity with KFIZ-TV. When they microwaved shows from WVTV and the
Milwaukee station superimposed their "Block 18" logo for ID purposes (mainly during The Merv
Griffin Show and Irv Kupcinet's Kup's Show), KFIZ usually broke in with their own full-screen ID
slide until WVTV dropped their super...

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I've been meaning to ask...
crainbebo (or anybody), what was "Linus"?

ixnay
Almost certainly that was the animated series Linus the Lionhearted. (I have seen many TVGs of
the era that similarly abbreviated the title to just Linus.)
I thought so, but since the listing said just "Linus", I thought it might be a Catholic-themed
religious show. BTW this easterner actually remembers watching LtheL on ABC back then BION.
Wasn't that lion on the box of a Post cereal (I forget the name)?
ixnay
Yup -- the cereal was "Crispy Critters." The Linus character started out as a advertising icon in
animated commercials, then the series grew out of that. It was canceled when the
FTC/PTA/FCC/etc. started getting antsy about Saturday morning commercialism. (Little did they
anticipate all those 80's cartoons that were basically half-hour infomercials for toys...) :
Linus was voiced by the great Sheldon Leonard. Others in the cast were Carl Reiner, Ruth Buzzi,
and Bob McFadden.
While I remember Linus on ABC, The latest it may have been in syndication was about 1970-72
or so..The old WJAN-TV 17 in Canton, Ohio showed Linus as part of kids show "Milton The
Milkman" between 4-5PM weekdays during this time. I remember they had very bad looking
prints of the show..

Re: Retro: Central Florida Monday, February 4, 1974
Wow... WFLA in Tampa didn't carry "Tomorrow" - and signed off early - but the affiliate in the
smaller market (WBBH/Fort Myers) did? Interesting...
By the way, I'm guessing "Sunshine Almanac" was a regionally syndicated show focused on
Florida, as I see Channels 2, 8 and 11 have aired it...

14 Los Hermanos Coraje
This program was shown in 1972 in New York on WOR-TV (Ch. 9), which had an hour per
weekday (12 noon-1 P.M.) of Spanish programming. At the end of this show, they even had a
five-minute "noticias" brief, with a Spanish-language version of the slide graphic WOR used for
years on their sign-on and sign-off newscasts.
From what I've gathered, this "telenovela" was on (produced in Mexico) from 1972 to 1974, and
one of the stars was Pedro Armendariz, Jr.

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati/Evansville Sunday, February 12, 1961
This was the month before Cincinnati stations WCPO-TV - Channel 9 and WKRC-TV - Channel 12
switched network affiliations. In March, 1961, WCPO-TV became a CBS affiliate and WKRC went
with ABC. That lasted until 1996 when they switched back.
Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati/Evansville Monday, February 13, 1961
Two questions:
1. When did WLKY sign on?
2. When did Louisville go on Eastern Time?

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati/Evansville Monday, February 13, 1961
2. When did Louisville go on Eastern Time?
My usual source is a bit confusing, as it states that the Louisville and
Lexington areas adopted EST on 07-23-61.
We think Lexington already was on EST, based on the time zone disclaimer
in the various sets of SDF/LEX/CVG listings from early 1961.

Re: Retro: Central Florida Tuesday, February 15, 1972
10:30 Dimension Florida (a live interview
with Republican Presidential candidate
John Ashbrook in Jacksonville)
Boy, talk about your footnote people in American politics -- I don't remember this guy at all. But I
see he got 9-10% of the vote in the New Hampshire, Florida, and California primaries. He had
positioned himself as as "alternative" Conservative candidate, believing that Nixon had strayed
too far from the bedrock basics of Conservatism.

6:15 Slim Mims (country music--I remember
this show on WBTW Florence, SC)
I would have been in about 10th grade at the time of this schedule, and I remember Slim Mims
being on when I would be getting ready for school. Not my cup of musical tea, but I have a vague
memory of seeing him one morning opining about the Vietnam War. (I believe he was of the
school that felt the war was just, but that we were being hamstrung by political decisions; I
specifically recall him shaking his head and lamenting that "We're fighting a losing war over
there.") Not long after, I noted that his show was replaced on WFTV, and I always wondered if
there was a cause and effect there; i.e., maybe he was getting a little too political/controversial
instead of just bringing on the music.
WFTV later carried something called "The Gene Thomley Show" in the slot. I believe he was a
local guy, and for the life of me I can't find anything about him on the Web. He didn't seem to
have any musical talents himself; just a sort of bland, genial host that reminded me of my high
school band teacher. If anyone can dig up some info on or memories of this guy (I think I have
the spelling of his name right), I'd be interested.

7 minutes of sports? Why not 5, or 10? Certainly makes for odd start times for the last two
programs. And what was "Errol Flynn," anyway? With a half-hour slot, it certainly isn't one of his
movies, and I don't recall any anthology series that bore his name. (Or was there?)

It was a half-hour syndicated anthology series, The Errol Flynn Theatre, which was produced in
1957 and lasted 26 episodes; it was filmed in England. Mr. Flynn was host, and acted in five of
the episodes.

Looking at these and the other listings from years past that featured Burlington, Vermont's
WCAX-TV channel 3, for a small market station they sure offered quite a bit of local news. In the
70's WCAX did a full HOUR of news during the week from 6 to 7pm. Considering back then
( 1970's ) that many much much larger markets actually offered less. 30 minutes of local news in
the evening..and that was it..period !!!!!! And here is WCAX doing a full hour.
In this case even on a weekend night way back in 1960, WCAX offered a full half hour of news. Of
course the big stations in cities like New York, Los Angeles and others did the same but even in
some cities like Baltimore, Denver, Phoenix, even San Diego, most if not all of their local stations
back then from looking at their listings over the years from around this time frame ( 1960 ) still
offered just 15 minutes of local news during the weekends.
And here is WCAX in 1960 in little Burlington, Vermont...they offered a full half hour. Talk about
bragging rights..at least back then anyway.

Don't forget that for many, many years, WCAX was the only home-grown commercial station in
Vermont, and its signal covered most of the state. (Yeah, there was also WPTZ, but they were
across the lake in that big ol' state to the east, and had divided loyalties -- I don't recall from
summers in VT back in the 60's that they covered Vermont news anywhere near as
comprehensively as WCAX.) I think they felt a lot of both pride and responsibility in that role, so
it doesn't surprise me that they were doing a lot of local/state news early on. I also remember
WCAX as being much more smoothly run than WPTZ -- the latter had a lot of technical glitches,
and their locally originated stuff was far less polished.

Was the game blacked out in Ottawa? Kind of funny that CBOFT would leave the game early for
Disney.
Not sure what the story was on that...CBOFT has kind of always marched to a different drummer
over the years

CFPL in London had a full hour of news/information as early as 1962, with Panorama at 6:00 and
Informacast at 6:30. It was one of the only Canadian stations to even have local news at 6. By
1964 or 1965 they had a half hour newscast at 6:30 called FYI, and that show expanded to a full
hour in 1973 from 6-7 PM. Some CBC O&O stations in larger markets had full-hour newscasts by
1971. When CBRT in Calgary first signed on in 1975, they had that market's first hour-long
newscast, and it was the early 80s before CFCN expanded to an hour.
Elsewhere, some markets did not even have local news at 6 for a very long time. CKVR in Barrie
was limited to a half-hour newscast at 5:30 PM and another following The National well into the
late 1980s. And yet, tiny CKNX in Wingham had hour-long news by the late 1970s.

I guess newness is no sign of accuracy--you are correct. It WAS in fact Tuesday, March 12--I got
mixed up when transcribing for the original post. Looks like I'm going to have to stay sharp on my
facts if I don't want to wear out my welcome here, right?

Wasn't WLAC using the "Eyewitness News" name at this time? Recently I saw a clip on You Tube (
in wonderful B&W ) of Chris Clark doing the news on WLAC frm either late 1974 ( maybe 1975 )
where they were indeed using "Eyewitness News".
Interesting some years before these lsitings ( 1972 ? ), the old WSIX-TV 8, they were calling their
news "Eyewitness News". You Tube not only has a clip of that but even a WSIX promo for The
Mod Squad too.
I would put a link to those clips on here but the way some local stations are about such things, I
am not going to bother.
REALLY Retro: New York City, July 1, 1941
This was the day that TV went commercial, with W2XBS becoming WNBT (now WNBC-TV) and
W2XAB became WCBW (now WCBS-TV).
It is a well-known factoid of TV lore that WNBT this day aired the first TV commercial: a one-
minute static shot of a Bulova watch face, for which the company paid $4. But other commercial
spots aired as well. Bulova had a similar one-minute spot that evening (for which they paid the
"prime-time" rate of $8!) and other sponsors involved in the day's programming included Lever
Brothers (Spry shortening), Proctor & Gamble (Ivory soap), and the Sun Oil Company (later
known as Sunoco). Only WNBT was ready to accept ads and sponsors this day: WCBW was not,
so though they had a commercial license now, their initial broadcasts were de facto "non-
commercial" (unsponsored).

*** Yes, Virginia, there was a channel 1. Originally (1937-40), channel 1 occupied 44-50 mHz.
(W2XBS had operated there for quite some time as an experimental station.) In 1940, when 42-
50 mHz was reassigned to FM radio, channel 1 was shifted up to 50-56 mHz (the slot occupied by
WNBT as it started its commercial history). Later still (in 1945) FM was moved to 88-106 mHz
(later 88-108 mHz) and channel 1 was shifted back to its original 44-50 mHz position. But with a
combination of the time it took for existing FMs to pack their bags and "move on up" to their
new home; the greater problems of noise, interference, and CCI at these freqs; and the need for
more public service VHF spectrum, it was decided that channel 1 was more trouble than it was
worth, and the frequencies reassigned. It is THIS -- the third incarnation of "channel 1" -- that is
referenced when the oft-quoted factoid that "no TV station ever broadcast on channel 1" is
inevitably brought up. True, post-1945 there were a few channel 1 CPs, but no station actually
signing on, but prior to that there were frequencies labeled as "channel 1," and some stations,
both experimental and commercial, did operate there.
As for WCBW, note that at this juncture, channel 2 occupied the exact space that the post-1945
channel 4 did. There was a 10 mHz gap between channels 1 and 2, hence why they were able to
both be used in the same city in 1941. FWIW, the channel assignments at this stage of history
were as follows (with spaces where there were gaps between channels):
Ch. Frequencies
1 50-56 mHz
2 66-72 mHz
3 72-78 mHz
4 78-84 mHz
5 84-90 mHz
6 96-102 mHz
7 102-108 mHz
8 162-168 mHz
9 180-186 mHz
10 186-192 mHz
11 204-210 mHz
12 210-216 mHz
13 234-240 mHz
14 240-246 mHz
15 258-264 mHz
16 264-270 mHz
17 282-288 mHz
18 288-294 mHz
Sure looks weird to our eyes, huh? 18 (not 12) channels, extending from the modern 6-meter
ham band way up into the range now used by military aviation, and all those big gaps every few
channels. Of course, the fact is that most of these pre-war channels were never used anyway --
some groups and companies applied for them, some even had them officially assigned, but the
vast majority never panned out. At this point, television was seen as the next big thing on the
horizon, and many business concerns wanted to stake out some "turf," even though they had no
immediate or short-term intention of actually doing anything there. :

Re: REALLY Retro: New York City, July 1, 1941
While you are correct about the WNBT point in the biographical description, I seem to recall that
on this line, the first call letters of the NBC O&O'd Washington, D.C. outlet now known as WRC-
TV are shown on the TV listings part.
Another point: On that Bulova ad of yore, a picture was shown of the test pattern that was used
in W2XBS days (since circa 1940); that picture is on this page. It was later in 1941 that the
famous "NBC test pattern" with the five-step greyscale bullseye first debuted, as seen on this
page, with the picture itself here. Around 1946 or '47, the dots marking the various resolutions
(200 and 250 lines on the top, left and right wedges; 2, 2.5, 3 and 3.5 MHz, or mc. as it was
called in those days) were tightened up a bit and their positions modified slightly, and variations
were unveiled with the background either in the dark grey shown here, or a medium grey as
used on Schenectady, NY station WRGB's test pattern (and, with the positions pointed out, as
shown here, though I doubt this pattern was shown in this particular form on the air, but rather
this was a "show and tell" in some book); I seem to recall also that this design with a very light
grey background was used by Miami station WTVJ in its early years. In 1947-48, the pattern
underwent another modification, apparently for the NBC O&O's, with a white line put on the top
and bottom of the "3" circle and a black line on the left and right of the "4" arc ("3" and "4"
signifying the 4 x 3 aspect ratio of TV screens), and the text altered to account for the post-1946
"4" dial position of WNBT - plus the addition, on the bottom right inner quad, of the "RCA
Television System" reference that had been on the pre-1941 W2XBS pattern - as seen on this
page, and the picture itself shown here. This basic layout was also used for the test patterns of
WNBQ (Channel 5, now WMAQ-TV) in Chicago and WNBK (originally on Channel 4, later moved
to Channel 3 and calls subsequently changed first to KYW-TV and, finally, to WKYC-TV) in
Cleveland. (Presumably, their Los Angeles outlet, originally KNBH, later KRCA-TV and now KNBC,
also used this layout in its early years on the air.)
While you are correct about the WNBT point in the biographical description, I seem to recall that
on this line, the first call letters of the NBC O&O'd Washington, D.C. outlet now known as WRC-
TV are shown on the TV listings part.
You didn't really expect me to get through a post that long without at least one typo, didja?

In his book on "What's My Line?" Gil Fates says
that the following night "The CBS Television Quiz"
(which I take to be the first regularly-scheduled
TV game show) debuted on Ch. 2. On that show,
contestants played various games; for instance,
"What's the difference between (two similar-
sounding objects)...", as well as
prototypes of "Jeopardy!" and "Beat The Clock."
Fates says that the show lasted 63 weeks. Fates
himself was the host, and the show originated in
CBS's Grand Central Station studio, where in the
early days of Douglas Edwards' newscast the pigeons
could be heard cooing through a window. The contestants
received nothing except the chance to be seen by a few
hundred (at most) set owners.

RE Ch. 1: In the mid-80s when I was an avid AT40 listener, one week during the run of a-ha's "The
Sun Always Shines on TV" (their followup to "Take On Me"), Casey Kasem read a listener letter
asking why there's no Ch. 1, then gave a condensed layman's version of Stanislav's explanation.
Didn't Trenton, NJ have a Ch. 1 that was forced off the air as a result of the ban?
I also remember seeing a Dave Berg cartoon (he drew the shapeliest women , RIP Dave) in Mad
magazine that was set at a TV station whose building had "CHANNEL 1" over the entrance.

I noticed the name Joan Edwards. A couple
of years later she was the featured female
vocalist, while Frank Sinatra (then in his
"swooner" phase) was featured male vocalist
on "Your Hit Parade" on CBS radio.

Correction on that Launceston pronounciation...
According to Andrew Bayley of the TelevisionAU website, that's pronounced LON-cess-ton;

apparently the locals don't like it when you pronounce the first syllable as Lawn

I see that at this point KGO's afternoon movies were already settled at 3:30. At what point did
KGO move their movie show there from its previous 6:30 time slot?

This is only a single issue I have, not part of a series of weeks or months of them, so I cannot tell
you. Perhaps Bay Area-viewers watching during that time frame can speak up for that. Sorry for
the lack of info on that.

I'd lived in the Bay Area for only a year in September 74, and I'm seeing a lot of things I'd
forgotten in this schedule.
I moved north from LA in 73 with only a 12 inch black and white portable TV...and I was a busy
guy, so I wasn't watching a lot of TV my first year here. But I can tell you that KGO-TV's Channel
7NewsScene with Van Amburg was the undisputed leader in local news, and dominated the
ratings in every time slot, including the 6:00 hour. So I've got to think that the movie had been
moved to 3:30 at least a couple of years before that.

I have a San Francisco Metro TV Guide from January 1973, and the daily movie was at 6:30 P.M.
then.
Retro: Cleveland/Akron--Wed, Jan 2, 1974
Cleveland Press TV Showtime, December 28, 1973-January 4, 1974--cover, Lee Meriwether

("Barnaby Jones")
Cleveland, Ohio:
(3) WKYC (NBC)
(5) WEWS (ABC)
(8) WJW (CBS)--now FOX affiliate
(25) WVIZ (PBS)*
(43) WUAB (Ind.)--now MyNetworkTV affiliate
(61) WKBF (Ind.)--frequency now occupied by WQHS-TV (Univision)
Akron, Ohio:
(23) WAKR (ABC)--now WVPX, an ION television affiliate

*Because of the school holidays, WVIZ did not begin broadcasting until 4 p.m.
MORNING
7:00
(3) Today Show--Frank McGee, Barbara Walters
(5) WEWS News
(8) CBS Morning News--Hughes Rudd, Sally Quinn (infamous "beauty and the grouch" pairing
that did not work due to Quinn's lack of TV savvy; Quinn, now the wife of retired Washington
Post publisher Ben Bradlee, left the show in February)
7:30
(5) Casper--children's cartoon
8:00
(5) Morning Exchange--long-running local talk/variety show; reputed to have been a model for
"Good Morning America," which premiered in 1975
(8) Captain Kangaroo
9:00
(3) Mike Douglas (90-minute version; show began as local show on channel 3 in 1961. When the
FCC ordered NBC, which owned its Philadelphia station, to swap stations with channel 3 (then
KYW-TV) owner Westinghouse/Group W in 1965 due to NBC's essentially blackmailing Group W
nearly a decade earlier, Douglas (and the callsign, among other things) went to Philadelphia with
the ownership. Still, the Cleveland station kept airing the now-syndicated Douglas show for
years.
(8) Phil Donahue (60-minute version; Donahue was a native of Cleveland)
9:30
(23) It is Written--WAKR ran a large amount of paid religious programming not only on Sundays,
but during the week as well; this was likely due to the large evangelical Christian population in
the Akron area, many of whom were industrial workers who migrated to the area from the
Southern U.S. The constituency was so large that two prominent televangelists of the day, Rex
Humbard and Ernest Angley, based their operations in Akron.
10:00
(5) Split Second--one-day delay

(23) Insight--religion

(23) (61) Jack LaLanne
11:00
(3) Wizard of Odds
(5) Love, American Style--one-day delay
(8) Gambit
(23) Romper Room--apparently the franchisor, Claster Television, considered Akron a separate TV
market and did not regard it as conflicting with the WUAB version, broadcast the previous half
hour
(43) Coffee Shoppee--local women's show hosted by Alice Weston; "Shoppe" deliberately spelled
with an extra "e" on the end, apparently in order for the two words to rhyme
(61) Newsroom--probably local

11:30
(5) (23) Brady Bunch--sitcom rerun
(8) Love of Life
(43) Romper Room (another episode or a repeat of an hour earlier?)
(61) Kimba--early Japanese anime children's show

2:30
(3) Doctors

(8) Edge of Night
(43) Barnaby--longtime Cleveland children's show hosted by Linn Sheldon that began on WKYC in
1957 and moved to WUAB in 1968; ran until 1990, a very long run for that genre
3:00
(3) Another World
(5) (23) General Hospital (still at that timeslot today)
(8) Price is Right
(43) Adventures of Superman--rerun of 1952-58 series, with George Reeves in the title role
(61) Magilla Gorilla--1960s Hanna-Barbera cartoon
3:30
(3) Return to Peyton Place--unsuccessful daytime adaptation of 1960s smash prime-time soap
opera; two days later, NBC canceled the show
(5) (23) One Life to Live
(8) Match Game '73--less than a year old and already daytime's highest-rated show

4:00
(3) Somerset--soap that struggled over a 7-year existence
(5) That Girl--sitcom rerun
(8) Adventure Road--long-running daily travelogue; WWJ (now WDIV) in Detroit did something
similar in the afternoons during this time with host George Pierrot
(23) Love, American Style--half-hour rerun
(25) Sesame Street

(43) Lost in Space--rerun

Northeast and Midwest; Don Webster, host

6:30
(3) NBC Nightly News--John Chancellor
(5) (23) ABC Evening News--Howard K. Smith, Harry Reasoner

(61) Beverly Hillbillies--rerun; viewers could take their pick of one of the two "rural shows" CBS
cancelled back in 1971
7:00
(3) WKYC News--station was one of the few in the Eastern Time Zone to run a local newscast in
this timeslot; WKYC revived a 7 p.m. newscast in 2000

(61) Mission: Impossible--rerun

7:30
(3) Wait till Your Father Gets Home--syndicated adult cartoon by Hanna-Barbera; essentially, an
animated "All in the Family"

and family shows in the slot)
(8) Dating Game--syndicated; had been cancelled six months earlier on ABC daytime
(25) French Chef--Julia Child came on a bit too late to help housewives with their dinner
preparations (!)
(43) Hogan's Heroes (see 7:00 above)
8:00
(3) Adam-12--durable Jack Webb-packaged half-hour show about two cops on the L.A. beat;
perhaps a forerunner of "COPS"
(5) (23) Dick Clark Special--probably a retrospective of the 1950s and 1960s
(8) Sonny and Cher--last season for the duo (and the last year of their marriage)
(25) Bill Moyers' Journal--the veteran journalist kicked around PBS while not working for CBS or
other projects
(43) Untouchables--rerun; the show that caused such an outcry in the early 1960s had been
rendered pretty harmless by the passage of time (and vastly more violent TV fare therein)
(61) Night Gallery--rerun of early 1970s Rod Serling anthology on NBC
8:30
(3) NBC Wednesday Mystery Movie--"Tenafly" (essentially a rip-off of the "Shaft" phenomenon
featuring an African-American gumshoe; this was the last episode, and NBC would ditch the
midweek version of its successful Sunday night feature at the end of the season)

Erich Segal movie (final episode)
(5) (23) Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law--crime drama starring Arthur Hill
(8) Kojak--the 1973-74 TV season's greatest new hit (by a long shot)

discussion
11:00
(3) WKYC News
(5) WEWS News
(8) WJW News

Nashville-based shows in this timeslot on weeknights
(43) Boris Karloff Presents--rerun of his "Thriller," which ran from 1960 to 1962 on NBC
(61) Avengers--rerun of British hybrid of crime drama and fantasy
11:30
(3) Tonight Show--Johnny Carson
(5) (23) Wide World of Entertainment--"On Location -- Rod Serling at Los Angeles International

the same day, neither of which is "Twlight Zone")

Re: Retro: Cleveland/Akron--Wed, Jan 2, 1974
A few observations and questions . . .
- I noticed that four of the five NBC O&O's had The Mike Douglas Show on their schedules.
(Besides WKYC, there was WMAQ-TV Chicago, WRC-TV Washington, DC and KNBC Los Angeles.)
The only exception was in New York - where it was aired on CBS-owned WCBS-TV.
- Would I be correct or not in assuming that WKYC was the only one of the NBC O&O's of the
time not to have their own movie show (i.e. WNBC-TV's Movie 4 / Cinema 4 or WMAQ-TV's
Movie 5)? Or would it have aired on weekends, if at all?

While not nationally known as such, Charles Billington founded Akron Baptist Temple in 1934.
This church also had a lot of transplanted Southerners in the congregation and was known as a
very large fundamental work in its day, and had a large TV and Radio Ministry for years. Two
prominent members founded large congregations of their own that had extensive broadcast
ministries..Dr. Harold Henniger of Canton Bapist Temple and Dr. Bruce D. Cummons of Massillon
Baptist Temple..

Though of course, there's a chance that they might've been different episodes -- because most
syndicated programming was "bicycled" (in other words, a station gets its tapes or film from
another station, then, after shown, sends it to the next station in the queue), the episode on
WAKR might've been different than that on WUAB.

"The Gulf Coast Congressional Report" was indeed local and aired on WKRG-TV from 1973 until
its early, but sudden hiatus in 2006 and mysterious cancellation. WEAR-TV's delay of "Issues and
Answers" in 1974 can be compared to the station's scheduling of "Nightline" at 11:00 PM and
11:30 PM over the past 25 years (at least), as both programs have aired at times when folks are
sleeping or getting ready for sleep.
Nowadays WALA-TV and WKRG-TV rarely delay network programming except in cases of "Billy
Graham" specials, "St. Jude's" specials, and live Mardi Gras broadcasts for the latter station.
Thank you for posting this schedule, as the Mobile-Pensacola TV market is an interesting
broadcast area to live in where severe weather can cost you your favorite program and an ABC
affiliate doesn't show "World News" on the weekend.

I believe "The Jeffersons" and "One Day at a Time" reruns were on CBS during this period --
wasn't pre-empting "live" network programming with delayed programming by the same
network a big no-no?

I believe the channel 14 station in DC is a Univision station today. Am I correct in guessing that
channel 50 DC and channel 54 Baltimore weren't on the air yet? What about channel 47 from
Salisbury? I always saw them listed there an an ABC primary affiliate.

At the time, 14 was only a low-powered repeater of WNVT, even though it was a full-powered
station in the past (as WOOK). Also, WMDT just signed on that week (4/11/1980) -- either it did
not commence full-programming yet (sign-on days can mean various things), or it has yet to
begun submitting listings to TV Guide.

A comment and a question..
Re: WMDT - it actually was about two months away from signing on. June, 1980 was when it
signed on the air.
I have an old TVG from May 1980 and that's when I first noticed that 9 pre-empted TPiR. When
did they finally start to show it?

WDVM really didn't begin to air The Price is Right on a FULL-TIME basis until 1983, maybe 1984. I
say "Full-time" because even though TV Guide as early as 1982 had listed WDVM as actually
airing TPIR, it wasn't uncommon for WDVM to air something else in its place. In other words, for
a few weeks WDVM would air TPIR but for others ( and often not even announced ) they didn't.
During those times WDVM would show reruns of such mini-series like Rich Man Poor Man and I
believe at one time..Roots. The long forgotten Tom Bosley show "Thats Hollywood" WDVM was
known to throw that show in the 11am slot as well.
Over the years I heard a number of reasons as to why WDVM didn't air TPIR on a regular basis.
Such as WDVM felt they could make more money airing Thats Hollywood. Others stem from the
local show that had aired on WDVM at 10am..Morning Break with Carol Randolf. Somewhere on
DCRTV.com several years back someone had posted on there about how Carol hated TPIR and
since she carried a lot of weight at WDVM at the time ( and was known to end her show a bit
after 11am, say 11:10 for example )..well anyway Bob Barker and his beauties had a tough time
being seen on WDVM for a few years back then.
For the record TPIR wasn't the only show WDVM sometimes wouldn't clear. With the exception
of a brief time in 1985, WDVM wouldn't air the other game shows on CBS either like Press Your
Luck for example. There was even a time when WDVM wouldn't clear many of the Saturday
morning cartoon shows either, in its place WDVM would air the teen show "In Our Lives" and the
news program "Saturday Magazine". And on top of that as I recall WDVM at least twice a month
would pre-empt the entire CBS prime time line-up in favor of those "Feed The Children" specials.
What was CBS's reaction to WDVM not clearing so many of their shows? At the time there was a
rumor, well 2 actually. One rumor I remember haring back then ( early 80s ) was that CBS really
considered actually buying WDVM to stop the practice. Another rumor had CBS looking for
another DC station to be their affiliate ( who knows who would have got CBS had the network
had dropped WDVM ).
Of course Gannett ended up with channel 9 and once Gannett took over it pretty much became
a rare event for WDVM/WUSA to totally pre-empt any CBS shows..even The Price is Right.

time line-up in favor of those "Feed The Children" specials.
I recall a few other stations (including WTSP in Tampa Bay) also doing that, through the mid-
1980s, with hunger specials from Worldvision (the "religious and charitable organisation", not
the syndication company) all evening, with an extra hour after the 11PM news. Though these
special marathons are generally once a year events, not twice a month.

On the other hand, WDVM was probably on a pre-emption spree, as they figured that many
Washingtonians could easily also get CBS from Baltimore (at the time, WMAR, then WBAL).

You may be right about that, also there was Richmond's WTVR channel 6 which at the time was
available on many cable systems around Northern Virginia back then so for many viewers there
were no shortage of other CBS channels to turn do when 9 did their pre-emptions.
I just remembered a very bizarre incident that took place on WDVM in regards to The Price is
Right. Back in 1984 I was home from school ( forgot why ) but I do remember watching channel 9
at 11am hoping to see TPIR. Instead it was, of course Morning Break with Carol Randolf. Carol
was getting some kind of award for something that I long since had forgotten. Suddenly out
comes the then GM of WDVM speaking on Carol's behalf and made some comment to the
viewers expecting to see Bob Barker and said "to those of you expecting to watch The Price is
Right..sorry this is much more important..but if you would rather see Bob Barker and The Price Is
Right and if you don't care about Carol...go ahead and watch channel 11 !!!!"
I have always thought that was a bit strange for anyone, much less a GM to say something like
that on the air, and on their own station.

As I recall, WMAR was about as bad about pre-empting
CBS programs; it was a factor in CBS's switch to WBAL.
For instance, WMAR was prone to pre-empt primetime for
Orioles games, and I count three daytime pre-emptions
on this schedule. Oddly, for a station on Channel 2, WMAR
has also been the perennial third-place station in Baltimore
almost from the time Baltimore got three channels on the air.
I don't recall a lot of pre-emptions on WTVR, however, and
WBAL stuck pretty closely to the CBS lineup. The only deviation
on WJZ that I know of is "Guiding Light" at 10 AM instead of 3 PM,
but 13 is an o&o, and every CBS o&o in the Eastern time zone carries
"GL" in the morning.
As to where CBS would have gone if it had dropped 9, there are
two possibilities. At the time, WTTG was owned by Metromedia.
Perhaps CBS could have swung a deal (Metromedia owned ABC
affiliates in Boston and Kansas City, IIRC), but then when Fox bought
the Metromedia stations, CBS would have been off Ch. 5. Then there's
Channel 7, WJLA, owned by Allbritton, the more likely one to have taken
the CBS affiliation, I think. But Allbritton, in the '90s, chose to affiliate
all its stations with ABC, so CBS would have ended up back on 9 anyway.
And since 9 was (and, I guess, still is) the number-one station in DC,
CBS could ill-afford to lose it, just as NBC could ill-afford to lose another
pre-emption happy station, WSB/2 Atlanta (which went to ABC by choice,
and not because NBC was looking to affiliate with WXIA). Channel 4.
of course, was out of the question, being an NBC o&o, and I'm sure CBS
would not have settled for UHF.

Re: Retro: Detroit--Wed, Oct 10, 1979
"3's A Crowd" was the number-one show in

Detroit at 7:30, at least until the United Auto
Workers began to target the show for its content.
I can't think of another market where the show won
its timeslot, not even Atlanta, where WSB carried it
and was soundly beaten by "Tic Tac Dough" on WXIA.
I also seem to recall a Catholic archdiocese (maybe in
New York) that put out a pamphlet discouraging its
members from watching certain shows, and "3's A Crowd"
was prominent on the list.
Barris might have seen the handwriting on the wall; his
next venture, a revival of "Camouflage," was done completely
straight, is usually considered to be one of the worst shows
he ever did (maybe even one of the worst game shows of all
time), and lasted thirteen weeks. (The '60s version may not
have been a great show but it never got the opprobrium of
Barris' remake.) In the fall of 1980, IIRC, there wasn't a single
Barris show on the air.

Likely to all the Field Communications-owned stations - hence the name of the show... I
remember seeing a clip on YouTube and made that assumption...
By the way, what did WDHO air regularly in the afternoon? I know Toledo didn't have an
independent back then, but it still mystifies me whenever I see a "Big Three" affiliated channel
air cartoon fare.

I.I.N.M., Health Field was the one produced out of WNBC-TV in New York, and hosted by Dr.
Frank Field and his daughter Pamela Field. Neither of whom, from what I could tell, is of any
relation to the Field clan that owned WKBD at the time.

WXYZ
I've mentioned before that Sales was in Cleveland at WXEL-TV 9 as Soupy Hines before going to
Detroit..Interestingly enough, this same syndicated show is Currently airing Monday, Wednesday
and Friday at 6PM ET on AMG-TV, a network that programs for Low-Power and secondary Digital
Broadcast Stations..The show originated from KTLA-5 Los Angeles..

By the way, what did WDHO air regularly in the afternoon? I know Toledo didn't have an
independent back then, but it still mystifies me whenever I see a "Big Three" affiliated channel
air cartoon fare.
Not at all unusual in 1979; there was not the proliferation of talk
and "judge" shows to air after 4 PM, so affiliates could, and did,
fill the time with cartoons and sitcom reruns. I remember at one
time here in central North Carolina, WGHP (then ABC) ran
Bugs Bunny, and WXII (NBC) ran Tom and Jerry at 4, while WFMY
(CBS) ran sitcom reruns such as "I Love Lucy." Today, you're
lucky to find any of this stuff on indies; it's all on cable now.

(9) Sesame Street
(50) Romper Room--whoever the "Miss So-and-so" was in Detroit, she must have had staying
power, as this franchised show was disappearing elsewhere in the U.S. about this time
The "Sesame Street" version that CBET ran had Canadian content mixed in with the US
segments.
As for WKBD's airing of Romper Room, that "Miss So-and-so" was Bert and Nancy Claster's
daughter, Sally Claster Gelbard. In other words, the same syndicated version that also aired on
then sister station WFLD/Chicago.

"3's A Crowd" was the number-one show in
Detroit at 7:30, at least until the United Auto
Workers began to target the show for its content.
I can't think of another market where the show won
its timeslot, not even Atlanta, where WSB carried it
and was soundly beaten by "Tic Tac Dough" on WXIA.
I also seem to recall a Catholic archdiocese (maybe in
New York) that put out a pamphlet discouraging its
members from watching certain shows, and "3's A Crowd"
was prominent on the list.
The late 70's was the "golden" age of TV & radio station picketing/protesting it seemed.
In Baltimore around the time of these listings I can remember noless than 3 shows that were
picketed..all had aired on WMAR.
*Good Times...some Baltimore family felt the show was an insult to Blacks.
*The Dick Martin game show "The Cheap Show"..a few people picketed claiming that the show
made fun of people how suffered from mental health issues. I never understood that protest.
*Tom & Jerry & Friends...some teachers protested the violence featured in those cartoons.
For the record, never heard about ANY protest that took place outside the other three Baltimore
stations ( WBAL, WJZ or WBFF...only WMAR ).

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati Wednesday, March 2, 1966
Some comments:
1) "Let's Play Post Office" was packaged by Merv Griffin; Griffin revived the format somewhat in
1985 on the short-lived syndicated "Headline Chasers," hosted (and co-packaged) by Wink
Martindale.
2) Since Mike Wallace is pushing 91, I don't think anybody ought to shed too many tears about
his digestive problems, or whatever it is you're referring to.
3) As for WKRC's handling of "Where the Action Is," it is obvious that the station thought it could
get far more revenue from spot ads in an old movie than by clearing ABC. Since ABC was the
weakest of the three networks, its affils had a lot more power at the time to put shows where
they wanted (shades of what happened to NBC in the late 1970s). Channel 12 had a gap to fill
between the morning movie and the start of ABC daytime, and it chose a tape-delayed network
show to do it. However, that makes one wonder about why WKRC simply didn't run 2-hour-long
movies, instead of 90-minute ones, at 9 a.m.

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati Wednesday, March 2, 1966
I was referring to Mike Wallace's inability to get
a full night's sleep. I've read that, during the years
when he anchored the 7:05 AM newscast, he'd have
to get up around 3 AM. His internal clock had to make
a huge adjustment, and he has said that he can't sleep
past 3 to this day.
Also, I know the rationale behind WKRC's decision not
to carry "Where The Action Is" at 4:30; our ABC affiliate
in Norfolk, WVEC, ran "Action" at 8 AM because the market's
number-one kids' show, "Bungles And His Friends," was on
WVEC at 4:30. But I still have to wonder who was watching
"Where The Action Is" in the morning.

I located an issue from the Gulf Coast for December 13-19, 1980. Here is the channel lineup in
that issue (excluding cable channels; channels in parentheses were originally designated by black
bullets; those in brackets by white bullets):
[13] WLOX (ABC)
Dothan, Alabama:
(4) WTVY (CBS)
(18) WDHN (ABC)
Dozier, Alabama:
(2) WDIQ (PBS)*
Mobile, Alabama:
(5) WKRG (CBS)
(42) WEIQ (PBS)*
Montgomery, Alabama:
(12) WSFA (NBC)
Tallahassee, Florida:
(11) WFSU (PBS)
Thomasville, Georgia/Tallahassee, Florida:
(6) WCTV (CBS)
(7) WJHG (ABC)--now NBC affiliate
(13) WMBB (NBC)--now ABC affiliate
Pensacola, Florida:
(3) WEAR (ABC)
(23) WSRE (PBS)
Since we have a nearly seven-year span between the issue I posted earlier and this one, I would
gather that TV Guide realigned the territories sometime in the mid-1970s.
You will also notice that the New Orleans stations are no longer listed, as neither is Mississippi
Educational Television's Gulf Coast translator WMAH, channel 19. According to Matt Sittel's
website, the New Orleans edition has always only listed stations in that city; a separate Louisiana
edition covers nearby areas. One should thus not be surprised at the increasing popularity of
PBS stations/networks' programming guides, as they helped some viewers in territories where
TV Guide did not list the station.
One should also remember in this context that the Annenberg family, despite their later funding
an educational TV initiative, generally assumed a critical stance against public television, in both
the opinion columns of the magazine and some articles throughout the 1970s. From that, it
would make sense that PBS listings were probably not a high priority and some regional editors
may well have had discretion about whether to carry them or not. That would, if true, sharply
contrast with the FCC's "must carry" regulations on cable TV carriage of PBS.

Panama City, Columbus, GA) shortly before TV Guide
ended the digest-size magazine.
If you really wanted to see a lot of channels, you
had to look in the South Mississippi Edition; it had
Jackson affiliates (3, 12, and 16), Meridian, Laurel/
Hattiesburg, Biloxi, Mobile/Pensacola, and New Orleans.
Check Matt Sittel's website to see just what stations
were in there.
WALA's practice of running "Hollywood Squares" at 5
is strange, but I think it was NBC's number-one daytime
show (or close to it, it may have been "Another World")
at the time, and thus a possible strong lead-in for the news.
(Even stranger, WLWT Cincinnati ran "Jackpot!" at 5:30.)
I remember that when we used to go to Mobile, my mom
always had to watch Dot Moore at noon (she was partial
to the NBC daytime lineup anyway).
WKRG played fast and loose with the CBS primetime schedule
until CBS disaffiliated KXLY Spokane, WA, for doing the same
thing. After 1975, you'll see WKRG sticking pretty closely to
the schedule; I also think that around that time ('75) they began
running Cronkite at 5:30 and local news at 6.
True, a lot of small-market stations (Macon, GA comes to mind)
didn't carry "Tomorrow," but in the beginning at least, neither did
Tampa, even though much-smaller Ft. Myers did.

I used to have a TVG Gulf Coast edition from 1978 (key word...used to have). My then-wife made
me throw all of my old TV Guides away...said it was weird to have them, but I digress.
IIRC, the Gulf Coast edition I had then had the Dothan stations. I can't remember if the WCTV or
WSFA were included in that edition then.

Well, Charles1, I guess that's one of the reasons she's your "ex"! If and when I take the plunge,
there is no way in hell any woman is going to make me part with my collection.
The TV Guides from the Annenberg era are not only repositories of nerdy trivia, but also as close
a barometer of the American people as any publication from that period. After all, it was the
nation's most circulated magazine for many years, before being surpassed in the 1990s by
Modern Maturity. The magazine's columnists and the letters to the editor told a whole lot more
about "Middle America" than any of the news magazines (e.g., Time and Newsweek) or opinion
journals (e.g., National Review) ever could have done. For instance, we can thank or blame
(whatever your position is) the Annenbergs for things like the development and popularity of
cable TV and the abolition of the Fairness Doctrine, two things TV Guide writers incessantly
advocated for back in the day.
Anyway, don't feel embarrassed or ashamed. This is America, after all, and we have a right to be
strange if we want.

Pat Sajak took over for Chuck Woolery on the daytime Wheel of Fortune in December 1981, but
Susan Stafford was still the letter turner in April 1982.

That's the Central Time Zone for you. News at 6 and 10. Things were a little more interesting
back in the 1970s, as I indicated in some of my earlier posts. By the 1980s, though, consultants
discouraged the practice of non-conventional time slots for newscasts, even for third-place
stations. As the rock band Rush sang in a 1982 song, "Subdivisions," "Conform or be cast out."

I've mentioned this before, but in the '70s quite
a few ABC affiliates in the Eastern time zone would
have their local news at 5:30, ABC News at 6, and
syndicated programs from 6:30-8. In the Central
time zone, it was not uncommon to see one of two
combinations: ABC News at 5, local news at 5:30,
syndicated shows from 6-7 (WBRC Birmingham and
KOCO Oklahoma City are two that come to mind that

did that); or ABC News at 5, syndicated programming
at 5:30, local news at 6 (I seem to recall KVUE Austin
doing this).
ABC discontinued its 6 PM (ET) feed in the summer of
1982, and it became standard practice to do local news
at 6, ABC News at 6:30 or 7 in the East; local news at
5 and 6, ABC at 5:30 in the Central time zone. That's
still the rule in the Central time zone, but mostly you see
local news from 5-6:30, followed by ABC News in the East.
Re "The Doctors": that soap had its last broadcast on December
31, 1982. Had it been allowed to continue to April 1, 1983, it
would have had 20 years on the air. Indeed, when the new
syndicated show "The Doctors" debuted back in the fall, many
viewers had to be reminded that it was not a revival of the soap.
Also, re "Capitol": when CBS decided to replace it with "The Bold
And The Beautiful" in 1987, the original plan was to place "B&B"
in "Capitol"'s slot (2:30/1:30). Then someone realized that "B&B"
would be similar to "The Young And The Restless" (and why not--
both shows came from Bill and Lee Philip Bell), while the Procter
& Gamble shows, "As The World Turns" and "Guiding Light," are
similar. So "B&B" was placed after "Y&R" (1:30/12:30), "ATWT"
was moved to 2/1, before "GL," and so it remains (unless you

get "GL" in the morning).

Thanks to Braves2005 for setting me straight about the Woolery/Sajak handover on "Wheel of
Fortune" during the holiday season of 1981/82. I had known that fact for a long time, but for
some reason, it slipped my head. I think I might have been thrown off by the fact that Susan
Stafford was still on the show, and that Vanna White wouldn't join until later that year. That, and
the fact that "Wheel" didn't really take off with the public until the 1983 syndication--in other
words, 1981-83 was a transition era (at least to me) for the classic game.
bpatrick, I am so glad you pointed out the summer of 1982 as the time when ABC stopped the
early feed of "World News Tonight." I had long thought it was not until Peter Jennings took over
the anchor's desk full-time after Frank Reynolds' death, but it actually occurred before. By that
time, ABC was either tied for, or held outright, the top spot in the ratings, and it was no longer
necessary to accommodate its affils' previous anxieties about being in third place at 6:30/5:30.
Good work.
BTW, I would very much love it if someone would post a Jackson/Central Mississippi listing from
before 1975. Even better still would be one from the late 1960s, during WLBT's "massive
resistance" against Civil Rights coverage by NBC (see the Wikipedia article on the station about
its turbulent history). I have yet to see a TV Guide on eBay from the Central/South Mississippi
editions from that period, and I suspect I will never see one, since, being one of the poorer parts
of the U.S., the region likely had among the lowest subscription/retail levels of any of TV Guide's
territories. Anybody?

I believe the Central Mississippi edition started in 1981, but there had been just a Mississippi
edition from 1962 to 1980. I don't know what territorial changes caused the name to change.
The South Mississippi edition started in 1979. Biloxi/Gulfport was part of the Gulf Coast edition's
territory prior to 1979. This is why the New Orleans stations were previously listed in the Gulf
Coast TV Guide.
Jackson, MS was only a two station market until 1970 when WAPT signed on. I would also like to
see some Jackson listings from the 1960s to see how 3 and 12 divided up ABC.

I too have tried (in vain) to find any TVG issues from central Mississippi. Somewhere I have one
from 1974 and I do have a Louisiana/Mississippi issue from 1960, containing Jackson listings.
Curiously, WLBT carried the daily version of American Bandstand for a time in the early '60s, and
I read somewhere where the station also aired Where The Action Is. Gooooo figure!
A long time ago I made up a spoof TV log for WLBT, circa 1964 .... I'll have to find it. It contained
such game show "classics" as Hattiesburg Squares, Concentration Camp and Slave Sale of the
Century, plus soap operas like Days Of Our Lynches and Another School. And, of course, plenty of
"Technical Difficulty" listings throughout.
Next on Confederanews 3, Tonya Tidwell with tips for the ladies on how to mend pesky holes in
their husbands' robes.
That's Channel 3. Coverage you "klan" count on.

Russell W., would you mind posting the 1974 TV Guide listings when you can? In exchange, I'll
see if I have any skeds you might want.
Your spoof would be just too much. I can think of others I have seen, such as "TV Gas" and "TV
Died." I only saw brief snatches of those, but I am sure I know where you are coming from.
Thanks for sharing that with us.

Re: RETRO LOS ANGELES TV- Tuesday February 3, 1981
I've noticed the conspicuous absence of The 3:30 Movie at this point. At what point did KABC
give it the hook, what was the last film shown in that time slot, and when?

At 3:00, KNXT aired a half hour special. What did the station usually air at that period alongside
Barnaby Jones? Was it Barney Miller reruns?
BTW, I think KABC replaced The 3:30 Movie with the 4 p.m. Eyewitness News around the fall of
1980.

They did. In September 1980. Indeed, KABC was the first of the five O&O's as constituted then to
do away with their afternoon movie shows. (WABC-TV's 4:30 Movie followed in November 1981;
WLS's 3:00 Movie, in 1984; and KGO's own 3:30 Movie in 1986. Wonder when Detroit's WXYZ
dispensed with The 4:00 Movie?)

WUBC-TV and WMYV-TV (both Greensboro) are not related. WUBC was a short lived station of 3
years during the late 60's on channel 48. WMYV signed on in 1981 as WGGT and happened to be
assigned channel 48.

True. My practice, however, is to post the call letters
then and now, so that people who weren't around at the
time will know where they are in the market's channel makeup.
Some stations change owners, sometimes several times, others
(like WUBC) go dark and a different station signs on on the same
channel years later.
If it's too confusing, I'll be glad to post just the call letters
on the date of the listings. Everyone let me know.

Continuing my look at the WTVD/WRDU situation, it becomes all but obvious CBS was the
default network of WTVD, only going with NBC if its shows were in the top 20 or so. This is
somewhat different from Birmingham, where VHF outlet WAPI had a rough split between CBS
and NBC in prime-time (and, of all things, did not take The Tonight Show), leaving UHF WBMG
the scraps.
Now that I think about it, I wonder about something else ... why did it often take TV Guide so
long to being carrying a new station's listings? Was it in this case because TV Guide didn't have
enough lead time to reset their databases (whatever the term back then was, I don't know) and
presses? Or was there something of an unwritten understanding that a station would have to
clear an audience level hurdle before getting listed? As one recalls, WKYH (now WMYT) in the
remote mountains of southeastern Kentucky began operations in 1969, but it was 1980 before
that station was ever listed in an edition! Does anybody know anything about that?

TV Guide had a rule that a station must cover at
least 15% of an edition's coverage area before it
could be included. When these schedules appeared,
Channel 28 was new and it was probably uncertain how
much of the edition's coverage area it was reaching.
WKYH (WYMT), being on Channel 57 and in mountainous
terrain, probably took years to reach the requisite 15%,
a process no doubt helped by cable, since I hear the station
does quite well in the portions of Kentucky, Tennessee, West
Virginia (and even a county or two in Virginia, IIRC) where it's
on cable.
I think we've rehashed this, but let's review a little history.
WNAO/28, the Triangle's original CBS affiliate, went dark around
1958. At the time, WRAL was NBC and WTVD, ABC. CBS made
a deal with TVD, making it the primary network and ABC the secondary.
When WRAL went to ABC in 1962, it kept very few NBC programs, and
yes, the most popular ("Bonanza," Disney, "The Virginian," "Dr. Kildare,"
"Daniel Boone, " etc.) were seen on TVD. When WRDU (WRDC) came
on the air in '68, it quickly discovered that people in the western end
of the market (Durham, Chapel Hill, Chatham County, etc.) were watching
those CBS programs pre-empted on TVD on WFMY Greensboro, and those
to the east (Johnston, Wayne, Wilson, Edgecombe, etc.) were watching
them on WNCT Greenville/New Bern/Washington. That led to 28's complaint

to the FCC about TVD's ability to cherry-pick the best of the two networks
and leave 28 with the less-popular shows. Since CBS tended to outrate
NBC in the Triangle, WTVD (when forced) chose CBS.
In Birmingham, WAPI had a long relationship with NBC (although I have
some old Birmingham radio schedules from the '40s that show WAPI as
a CBS affiliate), but an owner who disliked Bill Paley. True, 13 had a
pretty even CBS/NBC split, but there was some personal politics involved
when it selected NBC as its only network. I can't explain 13's resistance
to Carson, except that movies made more money, but I think I can explain
its resistance to Sullivan; he received a number of complaints from affiliates
in the Deep South about his use of African-American performers (I'm not
sure viewers had the same problem, since Sullivan always did well all over
the South). In Raleigh/Durham, WTVD had no reservations about Sullivan;
he was there Sundays at 8. Also, Carson was the only late-night talk
show in the Triangle until 1971, when WRAL picked up Dick Cavett, WTVD
had Merv Griffin (a fixture on the station for years afterward when he went
back into syndication), and WRDU had Carson. In Birmingham, Merv was
the only one running in pattern (10:30 PM CT); Carson eventually aired
at 11:30 CT, and Cavett could show up anytime after 11:30. (WBMG/WIAT
did carry Carson before it became a fulltime CBS affillate).
Actually, for years CBS tended to do better in the upper South (such as
North Carolina and Virginia), while NBC was stronger in the Deep South
(Birmingham excepted; it was an ABC-dominated market when WBRC had

the ABC affiliation). All of the affiliation switching since the '70s has
rendered this almost moot: WSOC (ABC) runs even with and even beats WBTV
(CBS) in Charlotte in many time slots, including local news; WSB's
move to ABC took Atlanta from one of ABC's weakest to one of its
strongest markets.

Re: Retro: North Carolina daytime Friday, December 6, 1968
From the WUNG-58 schedule...
then a gap until:
5 PM Misterogers
University Television (what UNC-TV was called in those days) would run their instructional
programming at mid-morning, then a few childrens shows and some news shows (usually
trainees from the UNC Radio-TV-Motion Picture Department).
They would then sign off the transmitters until (usually) 5:00pm, when they would run
MisteRogers, Sesame Street, another trainee newscast, then a mish-mosh of NET documentary
films.
Saturdays they usually only operated middays, and Sundays they would come on about 1:00pm
for The French Chef, some pre-recorded sports event or documetary film, then recorded
symphony and opera concerts until about 10:00pm.
-----------------------------------------
For WCCB and WCTU in Charlotte, they had local, afternoon kids shows at the time. WCCB's was
"Cowboy Bob", who I remember as being quite UN-entertaining. WCTU's was "Ever-Ever Land",
which featured WBTV ex-Goody Man Tom King as the "Pied Piper" hosting kids on the set. The
Pied Piper's co-host on the show was a "character" called "The Black Spot". I don't have to tell
you TV folks what the Black Spot was. Remember, this was 1968 and the technology was in its
infancy.

Thanks for jogging my memory. I remember when
WUNC used to run a block of classroom programming:
U.S. History/Physical Science/World History/Mathematics
from 9-11 AM, then a few miscellaneous items such as
you mentioned. I also remember the station signing back
on about 5 PM. I don't remember any Saturday programming
in the '60s; I always recall the Greensboro Daily News putting
"off air on Saturday" for Channel 4. But that was all back in
'63, '64; I was living in Greenville, SC in 1968; we had the
Asheville and Linville University Television stations in the
Carolina-Tennessee book, but I don't recall how much things
had changed in five years. (I'd spent some time in Virginia
in the intevening period.) I don't recall seeing any Saturday
listings in this old North Carolina book, however, in fact none
before the '70s.

Well, sir. According to RALfan, the month-old WRDU didn't wake up until 2 in the afternoon and
was already victimized by WTVD's cherry-picking. Note that WTVD tape-delayed "Hollywood
Squares" until 2 p.m. and gave WRDU CBS' middling-rated soap "Love is a Many Splendored
Thing." I also take it that Merv Griffin at 6 p.m. on channel 28 was a tape-delay from CBS the
previous night.
One might also note the glaring absence of the original Art Fleming "Jeopardy!" from WTVD's
lineup. This is remarkable, given the market's extraordinarily high college-student population
then (as now); college students MADE that show legendary. I can't possibly see "Love of Life" as
being more popular there. I wonder if WTVD (or WRAL) had tried "Jeopardy!" before and found
it wanting in the Nielsens; I suspect that may well have been the case.
And, of course, we have a further complication with ABC affil WRAL running "Huntley-Brinkley
Report" instead of its network's news. Frank Reynolds had not been on the ABC desk for very
long and thus had not enough time to anger WRAL owner A. J. Fletcher or commentator (and
future Senator) Jesse Helms with pro-Civil Rights commentaries, so that could not have been the
reason. Besides, in interviews, David Brinkley forthrightly mentions that WRAL ended "Huntley-
Brinkley Report" after 20 minutes in favor of Helms' 10-minute nightly commentary spot. It
appears ratings played the part in WRAL's choice, not politics.
All of this bogs down to one question: why did the FCC permit this picking and choosing of
network programming by dominant VHF stations, while out of the other side of its regulatory
mouth claiming to be supporting the development of UHF? Remember that the same thing
happened in Birmingham, Alabama, where, in 1965, the new WBMG, a UHF, (now WIAT) had to
take CBS and NBC leftovers from WAPI (now WVTM), thereby crippling it from a clear identity
from the get-go and thus causing viewer frustration or apathy. That situation was not solved until
1970, when WAPI owner Newhouse, acting apparently from animosities toward CBS both
corporate and local, inked with NBC full-time; WBMG struggled mightily for years afterward. The
FCC finally intervened in the Triangle mess the following year and put a gun to WTVD's head,
saying "Eyeball or Peacock, not both." Likewise, WRDU/WPTF/WRDC never made any big impact
upon the Raleigh/Durham Nielsens.
My question is why the FCC did not do this from the get-go, in the 1964 all-channel-tuner
legislation? I can bring that question up in another post, if all of you like.

The wiki entry for WRDC does a good job explaining the shortcoming. First the original antenna
location wasn't favorable for Raleigh, lack of budget and the whole UHF thing. Plus, to the east
of Raleigh was WITN and west of Durham was WSJS/WXII had dominant signals over Channel 28.

I also take it that Merv Griffin at 6 p.m. on channel 28 was a tape-delay from CBS the previous
night.
No, you're thinking of Merv's late night show which didn't premiere until August of 1969. The
show that WRDU has listed is the first syndicated version which ran from 1965 to 1969.
BTW, the schedule I posted was taken directly from the Durham Morning Herald.

Re "Jeopardy!": WTVD did carry it in its first year, when
it aired at 11:30 AM, then went back to Dick Van Dyke
reruns when "Jeopardy!" moved to noon. "Love Of Life"
had been on in the Triangle going back to the days of
the "original" 28, WNAO, in the '50s, so there was no
chance TVD would drop it. "Jeopardy!" did end up on
WRDU (WRDC) when it got the fulltime NBC affiliation.
Ironically, "Jeopardy!" airs at 7 PM on TVD and has since
its return in 1984; it has consistently won the timeslot.
It's rather odd, I think, that WTVD would schedule
a game show against "The Newlywed Game" at 2 PM;
but if 28 was carrying "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing,"
there was counterprogramming.
I remember when WRAL first went to ABC in '62, it
ran "Who Do You Trust?" against "As The World Turns"

at 1:30. "Trust" was one of ABC's two highest-rated
daytime shows ("American Bandstand" was the other),
and perhaps WRAL figured the counterprogramming
would work. However, "Trust" aired on ABC at 3:30,
against "To Tell The Truth" on CBS (WTVD carried it)
and a short-lived soap, "Our Five Daughters," which WRAL
had been carrying prior to the switch, on NBC. In the
spring and summer of '63, RAL ran "You Don't Say!" (NBC),
but either it failed to do well in the Triangle or ABC put
the pressure on to move "Trust" to 3:30.
When CBS moved "Edge Of Night" from 4:30 to 3:30 in
1963, WRAL finally put "Trust" at 3:30, but by then Johnny
Carson had moved on to the "Tonight" show, Woody Woodbury
was failing to attract an audience, and "Trust" was on its way out.

Re: NBC Schedule Thursday, October 20, 1977 (with YouTube link)
All Times EST
9:00 The Richard Pryor Show
I'm almost certain that by this date, The Richard Pryor Show was already history. It only lasted 4
episodes, with the last airing in the first week of October. It also aired on Tuesdays at 8 pm, not
Thursdays at 9 pm. (Imagine putting Pryor, with his track record, on at 8 -- what were they
thinking?) If it appears at this date and time on a schedule, I can only figure they planned to
move it to Thursdays, sent out the schedules, then canceled the show before the change took
place.
10:00 Rosetti and Ryan "Is There a Lawyer in the House?"
Another short-lived show -- wow, one I haven't thought about in years. The October 20 episode
was the 4th of 7 -- the last would air November 10.

Re: NBC Schedule Thursday, October 20, 1977 (with YouTube link)
1977...that was quite a summer/fall for New Yorkers. That summer had the Son of Sam killings
and the August blackout with the rampant looting. And two days before this schedule, the
deciding game (Game 6) of the World Series (Dodgers-Yankees), which for the first time in ages
was not on NBC, but on ABC. That was the game in which Reggie Jackson ("Reg-gie! Reg-gie!") hit
3 first-pitch home runs in three at-bats. Also the Series during which (in Game 2), Howard Cosell
caught sight of a warehouse fire from the blimp camera and uttered his famous over the top
pronouncement, "Ladies and gentlemen...the Bronx is burning!" (Which gave the title to the
ESPN mini-series about that October classic.)
Also, for fans of Southern Rock, October 20 was the day three members of Lynyrd Skynyrd died
in a plane crash in Mississippi.

Re: Retro: Victoria/Eastern South Australia Tues, Mar 4, 1980
For a long time I have heard/read where the country ( outside of the US of course ) that airs the
most American TV was Canada. But after looking at these listings and others from "Down
Under", I am surprised it wasn't Australia that held that "prize". It seemed that just about
EVERYTHING that had aired on TV in the US at the time..aired in Australia as well.
Is US Television really that popular in Australia?

Apparently, that includes duds such as "The Ugliest Girl in Town".

At the least, they probably mimicked American television -- during the 1970s and 1980s, most of
the commercial networks would use the same campaigns as the American networks used -- such
as NBC's "Be There" on Seven, for example.

To this day, Seven and Nine (and their respective regional affiliates) use versions of US news
music: Seven uses a version of The Mission, with Nine running a version of Cool Hand
Luke...here's where you can find some samples of the Aussie versions, plus some from the other
local nets:

Was Sesame Street a made for Australia version or the US episodes? Interesting that Romper
Room was still around in 1980

That would make sense.
I know Austraila had a few stations that used "eyewitness news' and I think even "action news"
news brands. I know Canada had a handful of stations that used "eyewitness news" but I never
heard of any station in that country that used "action news" though. OTOH, I remember reading
a long time ago were either the BBC or maybe it was ITV who thought about bringing
"eyewitness news" to the UK but decided against it.

The name "Action News" was also used by a station in the Netherlands, which translated it into
Dutch as "Actie Nieuws", as well as a station in Germany, which kept the English-language name.
The "Eyewitness News" name was never used in Europe, but several stations adopted elements
of the Eyewitness News format.

Re: Retro: Cincinnati/Columbus/Dayton Tues, Aug 12, 1958
I have an April 1958 TV Guide for Cincinnati/Dayton. Interesting that some stations are still listed
as "DuMont", though the Network stopped broadcasting in 1956..

I remember some of this stuff .... the unusally titled game show "Haggis Baggis." Just what did it
mean aside from the catchy rhyme?
I have seen videoclips of the original "Price Is RIght" with Bill Cullen
The 9AM movie on WLW-D was entitled "A.M. Theater" hosted by announcer (and later Dayton's
fitness guru) Andy Marten who later founded the Marten-Cline (later New Life) health spa chain.
I remember "Tic Tac Dough" and "It Could Be You" being kinescoped broadcasts after "50 50
Club" went off for the day on 2 4 and 5. Was NOT a fan of kinescoped programs as a kid due to
its dark and muddy picture quality.
I also have fond memories of Uncle Al Lewis (God rest his soul) on those days when I can pull in
Channel 9's signal north of Dayton. Until recently I was not aware that WKRC also had the CBS
affiliation as did WCPO with ABC back then. I always remembered ABC on 12 and CBS on 9 in the
60s.
WHIO-TV had that indian head test pattern on while WLWD had the Today Show with Dave
Garroway on. After Captain Kangaroo and the "morning news" read off camera by Ted Ryan,
"Cartoon Time" would air at 9:30 with vintage black and white cartoons from the 1930s...mostly
a character called either Scrappy or Scramble...others were first generation Merrie
Melodies/Looney Tunes with Bosko,Buddy and the early incarnation of Porky Pig. Always
remembered Ignatz Hammeslob(I think) hosting the local live segments of The Little Rascals.
Was that Ken Hardin that played Ignatz? Remember him in later years as Ferdy
Fussbudget,sidekick of Uncle Orrie (Joe Rockhold).

Wikipedia explains the use of the words in the show, if not the actual reason why. Unless the
infamous Scottish dish was one of the prizes... :P

My question: how can SEC basketball be going on when the NCAA tournament is on at the same
time? Purdue at Indiana, Vandy at Miss State, then the NCAA tourney - not very consistent
IMHO! (I'll save everyone the suspense - Bill Walton and Coach Wooden's UCLA Bruins won the
last of their 7 NCAA hoops titles in a row.)

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Saturday, March 10, 1973 (VHFs)
I don't know how many NCAA tournament games NBC
had scheduled that day; apparently, just the one at
4 PM, since neither Ch. 2 nor 41 had basketball before
4. It's not like CBS's wall-to-wall coverage today.
Besides, Ch. 3 was committed to SEC basketball and
would likely have carried the Vandy-Miss. State game
regardless. I would appreciate it if somebody could tell
us how the NCAA tournament worked in 1973, since both
games preceding it on Ch. 3 appear to have been regular-
season games.

If memory serves, that's one of the "banned" Looney Tunes because Bugs' adversary is a dark-

Re: Retro: Mobile/Pensacola Wednesday, October 2, 1963
I see WKRG was playing fast and loose with the
CBS schedule even then. "The Great Adventure"
aired in pattern Fridays at 6:30 (CT); "Candid
Camera" aired Sundays at 9 (CT). I don't know
what aired on Ch. 5 on either night, but I know
that "CBS Reports" aired in pattern Wednesdays
at 6:30, and that it had its share of pre-emptions
(in Raleigh, WTVD, then affiliated with both CBS
and NBC, opted for "The Virginian").
Dick Van Dyke's character's first name was "Rob,"
not "Bob." He was Rob Petrie.
For WEAR, you show news at 10 PM, and the next program
at 11:15. Did you mean 10:15, or was there something
else at 10:15? Also, did WALA join Johnny Carson in
progress, or was the show tape-delayed thirty minutes?
(I recall only Minneapolis and Birmingham being able to
delay the show, and that was much later.)

I rechecked my copy of the listings and that's how the programs on WEAR-TV were listed on that
date. "Bob", like "Rob", is another nickname for people named "Robert".

I'm well aware that "Bob" is a nickname for "Robert,"
since it happens to be my name. But Van Dyke's
character was called "Rob"; remember Mary Tyler
Moore's tearful "Ohhhh, Rooooob!"
I still think something's missing on Ch. 3's schedule;
I never heard of a 75-minute late newscast then or
now. I blame the newspaper and/or the station, not
you.

Re: Retro: Mobile/Pensacola Thursday, October 1, 1964
I thought Robert Q. Lewis had replaced Frank Buxton
as host of "Get The Message" by this time; the last
show, which has aired on GSN and was originally
broadcast on Christmas Day 1964, had Lewis as host.
I keep thinking he took over the show sometime in
September.
At least you've solved part of the mystery of what
followed WEAR's late news. I find it a little odd, though,
that WKRG's "Woman's World" had a male host.

It is...Quebec TV pubs were famous for years for being somewhat vague on children's program
titles not only on PBS, but TVO as well (in TVO's case, the title read Children''s
Programs/Emissions pour enfants, as TVO ran programs in both English and French back in the
day. In more recent years, they've started listing the titles.

This has to be a chronological mistake; I find it hard to believe that The John Davidson Show
actually premiered in the fall of 1979. I thought it made its debut in the fall of 1980. If this is
wrong, then what actually aired at 9 a.m. on WCBS?

That's a good question. John Davidson's show
started in the summer of 1980, replacing Mike
Douglas on most stations. I recall that WAGA
did this, airing Davidson at 4:30, with Mike
(with a new syndicator) moving
to WSB at 10 AM. It was at about the time David
Letterman's morning show debuted on NBC.
WSB had announced its intention of changing from
NBC to ABC and turned down Letterman; it became
the first NBC show to air on WXIA.

I never knew that "Show My People" was produced
by Bob Jones University, and I lived in Greenville, SC
for a total of 12 years (two different occasions).
That program did air on WYFF and sister station WXII
Winston-Salem, NC.

Letterman's morning show debuted on NBC.
The interesting thing about Davidson's Group W show and Mike Douglas' was that both shows
would be gone by mid-1982.
John Davidson, I seem to recall reading awhile back that at first he actually enjoyed doing his talk
show..at first but by 1981 had lost interest. Somewhere I remember reading ( maybe it was in
one of his bios someplace ), Davidson wasn't exactly happy at Group W's treatment of Mike
Douglas such as telling Mike's staff about the situation and offering jobs to Mike's staff to join
Davidson's..all of this BEFORE Group W told Mike Douglas. On the other hand I also recall
reading in Mike Douglas' bio that came out some years back, I had the feeling there was ( at the
time of his bio...late 90s ) still bad blood between the two men. Somewhat like that Joan Rivers-
Johnny Carson feud over Joan doing her own talk show in 1986 to compete with Carson ( those
two former friends never spoke to each other again as Rivers would point out when Carson had
died in 2005 ). I wonder if Davidson & Douglas ever did bury that hatchet before Mike's death a
few years back?

From other sources I've determined that Match Game was 5x/week syndicated,
and that Love Of Life was network at 4:00 ET.
Being the flagship O&O and in the same plant (or dairy barn) as the net operation,
was WCBS-TV able to air Love Of Live at noon ahead of the network feed, or was
it a one-DB? IIRC, WCBS ran Tattletales the same-day at 1:00 during part of its
network run at 4:00. Sort of like "Guiding Light in reverse" before its alternate
feed(s) came about a few years ago.

Was Y&R still network at 12:00 ET in fall 79, or had the local hole been moved
from 1:00 to 12:00 by then?

In the North Carolina edition of TV Guide, Sept. 8-14, 1979,
it shows "Y&R" at 12 on WTVD/11 and WBTW/13; at 1 on
WFMY/2 and WNCT/9. "Y&R" didn't move to 1 on CBS until
February 4, 1980, when it went to an hour following the
cancellation of "Love Of Life." Knowing that "Love Of Life"'s
best years had been 1958-69, when it aired on CBS at noon,
WCBS may have been hoping to save the show by putting it
back at its old time; WFMY did the same thing before the
venerable soap was put out of its misery.
I'm under the impression that "Love Of Life" aired on a
day-behind in New York; the main reason "Guiding Light"

has the multiple feeds is because of the number of CBS
o&os that carry it in the morning: New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Boston, Detroit, Miami, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh.
I know of only one other soap (a P&G one at that) that ran
on a multiple feed: "Somerset" aired at 1 PM and 4 PM, and
each NBC affiliate could choose its time.
Which brings up an old question we've never really resolved:
why doesn't ABC split-feed "All My Children" at 11 AM and
noon (CT)?

As far as why ABC doesn't offer a double-feed of "All My Children"...I've always thought it's
because ABC doesn't want to indirectly encourage its Central Time Zone affiliates to run AMC
head-to-head against "The Young and the Restless," which airs at 11AM on most CBS affiliates
outside of the Eastern Time Zone.

Another issue that's unresolved is this - what really aired on WCBS at 9 a.m.? If somebody could
get their hands on the New York Times from anytime during the fall of '79, I would be happy.

Am I reading this right? WCVB airing Tattletales in early '85 after CBS canceled the show the
previous summer? I want to know the story behind this.

This also IMO deserves an explanation, though I suspect that these might be reruns.

I find it a little strange that both WTNH and WPRI didn't carry daytime Family Feud, but carried
the nighttime show only. Also, unless I missed it, none of the Boston stations listed didn't carry
neither Feud...of course, at this point in time, both versions would be off the air by that summer.

Two points: for those who don't remember "The
Breakfast Club" (it lasted on ABC radio until 1968),
"Don" is Don McNeill, who died in 1996 at age 89.
In his later years, when approached for interviews
about the show, his standard response was, "You've
got two chances, slim and none."

In your listing for "First Love," I notice mention of
a character named Laurie. I know there was one
on "The Secret Storm" named Laurie Hollister. Is
this listing accurate, or should the plot summary been
listed under "Secret Storm"?
I guess I can answer my own question: Laurie was the
wife on "First Love," so this listing must be correct.
But this old "Secret Storm" fan did get a bit confused.

Nice to see some listings from channel 67's brief life as a general independent before falling
victim to the home shopping craze.
Dr. Gene Scott developed a cult following in the brief time he was on here.

In the late-1970s, Time-Life distributed Doctor Who to commercial outlets, featuring intros and
outros by American actor Henry Silva. I recall WOR-TV in NYC also showing the Doctor during this
era. By the early-1980s, Doctor Who was only seeing "patients" on "public" assistance (if you can
catch my drift).

When I first moved to Florida in 1973, WJXT
Jacksonville was running the Jon Pertwee
episodes of "Dr. Who" at 4:30 PM weekdays.
WJXT was a CBS affiliate at the time, independent
now, but a commercial station nonetheless.

Oops! PC acted funny on me!
In question to Turner-owned channels 17 (Atlanta) and 36 (Charlotte) running "Space Giants" on

weekday afternoons, was "Space Giants" Ted Turner's title for "Hanna-Barbera's World Of Super
Adventure" (aka Space Ghost, Herculoids, Birdman, et al) years before he bought Hanna-
Barbera?

"Space Giants," like "Ultraman," was one of those
made-in-Japan live-action shows with the dialogue
dubbed into English. I don't recall Turner carrying
Hanna-Barbera's "Super Adventures."

5:30 AM: Good Morning Tri-States
Sure this was for WWL and not Dothan's WTVY? The only states covered by New Orleans stations
were LA and MS, which, last time I heard, numbered two states.
That and "Scobby Doo" airing on WWL at 3:30 on a weekday. New Orleans at the time at at least
one indie of their own, be kinda of odd for them or any large market station affilated with the
big 3 ( not talking about small markets ) to air a syndicated cartoon during the week. Then agan
Buffalo's WGRZ (NBC) did this in the 80s with He-Man despite WUTV. Same with Baltimore in the
early 80s when WMAR ( then CBS ) aired Tom & Jerry at 4pm even though Baltimore already had
WBFF. I guess it wasn't so odd ( at the time anyway ) afterall.
I did not realize until tonight the "4" in my copy of the newspaper listings was WTVY-TV, as the
station was not indicated. I automatically assumed it was WWL-TV since WLOX-TV was identified
as "Channel 13 Biloxi" in the listings. Somebody please change "WWL" to "WTVY" in my post and
"New Orleans" to "Dothan" in the topic title.

Re: Retro: Mobile/Pensacola/Biloxi/New Orleans Wednesday, February 2, 1983
I don't know why the Mobile Press-Register would even
carry WWL's listings. But Good Morning Tri-States (Alabama,
Florida, Georgia) and Gene Ragan were/are on WTVY; Ragan's
a Dothan institution going back as far as I can remember,
Also, WWL has had a 5 PM local news at least as far back as
the early '70s (when I first saw their listings); WTVY did not
have one in 1983.

I find it odd that the Mobile paper would list WTVY at all -- did they have that much of an
audience in the far west FL panhandle? And if you're going to include Dothan, why not Panama
City as well? Maybe WTVY was a "legacy" station still carried on cable in the area?

The newspaper had WDSU-TV (New Orleans) and WTOK-TV (Meridian) listed in 1955. I guess the
inclusion of WTVY-TV's program listings was for comparison purposes with WKRG-TV.

Maybe in south central Alabama -- WTVY's analog signal goes as far west as Brewton:

Major network affiliates that air cartoons - large markets or small - always mesmerize me. ;D

That's an interesting question, considering that the Gulf Coast edition of
TV Guide carried the Mobile/Pensacola, Panama City, and Dothan stations,
as well as WLOX, WCTV/6 Tallahassee, and WSFA/12 Montgomery. And
I can remember back around 1972 that edition looked like this:
ABC: WEAR, WJHG/7 Panama City (went to ABC in '72, back to NBC in '82),
WVUE/8 New Orleans, WLOX (WMBB didn't sign on until '74, and then
as an NBC affiliate)
CBS: WWL, WKRG (WTVY was added around the mid-'70s)
NBC: WDSU, WDAM/7 (Laurel/Hattiesburg, MS), WALA
PBS: WEIQ (don't remember if Mississippi ETV was included)

I wish I could change the errors for "Doc" and "Protectors", as I was typing in a room with light
coming from another room. The edit times here should be longer.

Never knew WKRG took "Mississippi Game & Fish" .... it was a 15' syndicated offering produced
out of Jackson; beyond that, or the obvious subject matter, I know nothing else about it.
It aired on a Memphis station, too (WMC-5), which meant the MG&FC program had coverage
from the Missouri bootheel all the way as far east as Destin, Fla.
Plus, I was unaware that "Pas-Point Spotlight" aired on another station (I thought it was a local
production of WLOX-13/Biloxi). For those unfamiliar with the region, the name is derived from
two cities along the Miss. coast: (Pas)cagoula and Moss (Point).

Re: Retro: Mississippi - Saturday, 08/03/1974
Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! You have filled in a major piece of the American TV Guide historical
puzzle with these skeds. You have in your possession an edition that has to be the rarest
available, a pre-1980s Mississippi edition. As I promised you earlier, I would like to return the
favor. Email me at michaeltstroud@bellsouth.net if you have a particular sked you would like
posted and I will see if I can fill the request. Again, thanks so much!

Glad I could be of service! I long thought that issue was MIA, but I went searching for it the last
time this was brought up ... and it turned up in a stray box. Hadn't seen it in at least 10 years.
Anything from the mid to late '60s - especially pre-forfeit WLBT - I'd love to see.
I have Jackson and Meridian listings from 1960 somewhere. I'll post those when I get a chance.

RE: Missing WCBI listings...
Were the Memphis and Northern Alabama (Birmingham-Huntsville) editions the only editions
that included the listings for Channel 4? It would make sense, in a way, since AFIK the Memphis
edition was always the de facto "home" edition for northern Mississippi, wasn't it?

WCBI was not listed in the Memphis edition until 1984 or 1985.

As one who grew up in the Northern Alabama TV Guide territory, I always remember WCBI being
listed (at least since 1972, the earliest copy in my collection), as its signal reached a fair portion
of extreme west central Alabama (Columbus is only 7-10 miles from the Alabama border). The
question becomes important for the Mississippi edition since WTWV (now WTVA) in Tupelo,
located north of Columbus, was listed. The answer is that WTWV had a translator in Meridian on
channel 24, now a full-power CBS affiliate with the callsign WMDN; hence it needed to be listed
for the central Mississippi viewers reading the edition. The dividing line of the Mississippi and
Memphis territory would have been, I suspect, along U.S. Highway 82, extending westward from
Columbus to Greenville, in the Mississippi Delta.
This leaves the question of the eastern, southern, and western boundaries. From what I can
gather, the area around Demopolis, Alabama was in the Meridian market, so stores in those
counties probably sold the Mississippi edition. The Jackson stations' signals reached over the
Mississippi River into extreme northeastern Louisiana (the area along U.S. Highway 65), but the
southermost tier of counties (towns like Woodville and McComb) going eastward from the river
certainly received either Baton Rouge or New Orleans stations, so viewers there got either the
Louisiana (probably Wilkinson, Amite and Pike counties) or Gulf Coast (Walthall and Marion
counties) editions. And, of course, the counties along Mississippi's Gulf Coast, who could receive
either New Orleans or Mobile in addition to Hattiesburg's WDAM and Biloxi's WLOX, got the Gulf
Coast edition. WLOX was listed mainly for Mississippi edition viewers in the "Pine Belt" region
around Hattiesburg.
Anybody have any memories to prove my speculations?

One more observation: I notice an interesting pattern concerning the half-hour syndicated
country music shows that were a Saturday staple of Southern stations (and small market ones
elsewhere) during this period. One would expect that all the commercial stations would load up
the 4-7 p.m. block with the likes of Porter Wagoner, the Wilburn Brothers, and the other shows
produced by Nashville's Show-Biz, Inc. (some of whose catalog is now owned by Willie Nelson).
But we find that, in Jackson, other than "Hee Haw" on WJTV at 6, only one appears apiece on
WLBT and WJTV and none on WAPT (unless "Jobie Martin" at 1 p.m. was a local country show);
further, they both run against each other at 5, forcing country music fans to choose. WABG in
Greenwood does not air country at all on Saturday, deferring "Hee Haw" until Sunday evening. It
is only, shockingly, as you go northward in the state that you find a typical Southern country
music Saturday evening supper: WTWV ran a full three-hour block, stopping only at 5:30 for the
NBC newscast.
I have a theory to explain that, and I hope it does not offend anybody. The Jackson market of
southwestern Mississippi and the Mississippi Delta had (and still have), as we know, among the
highest percentages of African-American residents. By contrast, the hill country in northeastern
Mississippi, which was traditionally an area of small farmers and relatively little slavery, had a
predominantly white population where country and bluegrass music had been a cultural
tradition for generations (hence WTWV's block). Station managers knew these demographic
differences instinctively (no market research necessary) and took them into account when
purchasing and scheduling shows.
Some more proof: WLBT aired a program at 4:30 p.m. titled "Pumoja." The word is part of
Swahili (African) phrase "Kujenga Pumoja," which means in English "together we build." That
program could not have been anything other than an African-American public affairs show, one
of the numerous attempts the transitional ownership of WLBT made to improve service to the
black community in light of previous owner Lamar's segregationist practices in the past. In the
1960s, I would bet you even money the station scheduled some local or syndicated country
show in that slot. The effects of the license controversy at WLBT had far-reaching effects not only
on that station, but on the TV business in that swath of the country.

I've wondered how common it was for stations to air a whole block on Saturday afternoon of the
Show-Biz country shows. WMC here in Memphis aired a block of those shows from the 1960s
into the 1980s. In the early years, they also had a local country show, The Rhodes Show as part
of the block. WSM in Nashville did the same thing.
I vaguely recall that KARK in Little Rock also followed the WMC/WSM pattern of airing several
country shows after the NBC Baseball Game of the Week. But in most retro listings, it appears
that a station aired only one of these shows.

WAPI-TV (now WVTM) in Birmingham aired the Wilburn Brothers, Porter Waggoner and That
Good Ole Nashville Music from 4:00-5:30 on Saturday for years, taking a break from the
hoedown at 5:30 for NBC News, then airing Hee Haw at 6:00 (of course, Hee Haw didn't come
into play until the early '70's).

WCBI was not listed in the Memphis edition until 1984 or 1985.
Which puzzled me to no end!! WCBI had a presence on Tupelo's cable system ... a fuzzy signal, to
be sure ... but it was always there. Another baffling omission for the longest time was WABG-
6/Greenwood.
The Memphis edition should have had those, plus Little Rock, Paducah and Cape Girardeau --
perhaps even Nashville -- given the far reach of the Memphis viewing area. The Arkansas edition
never had Jonesboro or Memphis, even though there was substantial overlap between the
Memphis and Little Rock markets.
--Russell
As one who grew up in the Northern Alabama TV Guide territory, I always remember WCBI being
listed (at least since 1972, the earliest copy in my collection), as its signal reached a fair portion
of extreme west central Alabama (Columbus is only 7-10 miles from the Alabama border).
In the '70s WCBI-4 was on Jasper's cable system (Walker County). Huntsville, Tuscaloosa and (of
course) Birmingham were on there, as well. But not Tupelo.
The question becomes important for the Mississippi edition since WTWV (now WTVA) in Tupelo,
located north of Columbus, was listed. The answer is that WTWV had a translator in Meridian on
channel 24, now a full-power CBS affiliate with the callsign WMDN; hence it needed to be listed
for the central Mississippi viewers reading the edition. The dividing line of the Mississippi and
Memphis territory would have been, I suspect, along U.S. Highway 82, extending westward from
Columbus to Greenville, in the Mississippi Delta.
I've never thought about the US-82 line being important in that way, but you're on to something.
And yes, I can see how WTWV would've been listed for the reason of the repeater in Meridian ...
which was a full (if flea-powered) station. The calls were WHTV. I remember the station ID from
my earlier days in Tupelo, in Ed Bishop's booming voice ... "WTWV, Channel 9, Tupelo ... also on
Channel 24, WHTV, Meridian"
This leaves the question of the eastern, southern, and western boundaries. From what I can
gather, the area around Demopolis, Alabama was in the Meridian market, so stores in those
counties probably sold the Mississippi edition.
I'm not for certain which edition went to Demopolis. Meridian has always been a factor, to be
sure, but Birmingham has long been on the cable in the region ... and I'm told 5 and 10 from
Mobile were carried via cable. Montgomery would become a factor in 1977 when WSFA-12 put
up their 2000' tower.

I've never analyzed the situation as it was in the various markets where I've lived (Alabama,
Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, Georgia), but now you've got me wanting to. (being a geek sure
is hell) ;D
I have a theory to explain that, and I hope it does not offend anybody. The Jackson market of
southwestern Mississippi and the Mississippi Delta had (and still have), as we know, among the
highest percentages of African-American residents. By contrast, the hill country in northeastern
Mississippi, which was traditionally an area of small farmers and relatively little slavery, had a
predominantly white population where country and bluegrass music had been a cultural
tradition for generations (hence WTWV's block). Station managers knew these demographic
differences instinctively (no market research necessary) and took them into account when
purchasing and scheduling shows.
As I see it, there's no offense in the facts. Absolutely, there's a world's difference between
Greenwood and Tupelo!
Some more proof: WLBT aired a program at 4:30 p.m. titled "Pumoja." The word is part of
Swahili (African) phrase "Kujenga Pumoja," which means in English "together we build." That
program could not have been anything other than an African-American public affairs show, one
of the numerous attempts the transitional ownership of WLBT made to improve service to the
black community......
Agreed, without having so much as seen it! Another example of such programming by the "new"
WLBT was the 'Romper Room'-style daytime show Our Playmates.
.......in light of previous owner Lamar's segregationist practices in the past.
In the 1960s, I would bet you even money the station scheduled some local or syndicated
country show in that slot.
Now I REALLY want to find those microfilm printouts to see just what WLBT and WJTV aired in
those timeslots. As for Lamar Life, what reading I've done and informal research (I spent a day at
the Jackson library in 2000 trying to find some nuggets to those ends), all point to the flagrant
stuff, i.e. "technical difficulties" during 'objectionable' content, plus the Today Show disclaimer
("What you are about to see is biased and managed Northern news. Stay tuned at 7:25 for your
LOCAL Mississippi news.") long gone by the end of the '60s.
My impression is that when WLBT was issued the 'short-term' renewal in '65, the lawyers for
Lamar Life started backseat-driving operations perhaps thinking "we dodged a bullet, we might
not be so lucky next time", and for the most part cleaned up their act. One big action was
throwing Fred Beard overboard.
By 1969, Lamar Life - under a more 'progressive' manager - was trying to be a better citizen, but
the damage was already done.
One positive thing came from WLBT's forfeiture: the interim management (Communications
Improvement, Inc.) was a nonprofit entity and a substantial portion of all profits generated from
Channel 3 went straight to the coffers of the newly-formed Mississippi Authority for Educational
Television. Miss. ETV's first station signed on in 1970, with the other repeaters powering up
between 1971 and 1974.
Furthermore, Lamar Life didn't exactly suffer when the license for WLBT was pulled. For one
thing, they still OWNED the physical assets of Channel 3 -- they just lost the license! And as long
as the station was under 'caretaker' operations, there was going to be no investment in
equipment by those interim "owners."
What it amounted to was, Lamar Life was the landlord, and CII paid them rent. One curious item
I read from 1973 was that Lamar Life Insurance was making more money through the rent
payments than they ever did operating the station themselves ... and without the
headaches!! :-\
It wasn't until 1980, when Civic Communications was chosen as permanent licensee, before
Lamar Life was completely out of the picture when the company bought all the tangible assets of
Channel 3 from LL.
The effects of the license controversy at WLBT had far-reaching effects not only on that station,
but on the TV business in that swath of the country.
Did it ever!
What happened, no doubt, was the Fear of Jesus rolling like thunder across the landscape of the
South ... and beyond.
And I get the feeling its aftermath didn't exactly hinder the fortunes of a young fellow named
Don Cornelius..... ;D

Re: RETRO: MISSISSIPPI - WEEKDAYS, 08/05-09/1974
Questions for you, Russell W.
1) Why did WJTV schedule what was almost certainly a women's show ("Dot Lambert") at 2:30,
displacing TV's most popular daytime program? M(r)s. Lambert sure must have been a
Mississippi institution for that to happen. Would you guess she was an original station employee
and that her show had always aired at that time? Otherwise, this is highly unusual.
2) I caught a glimpse of a Jackson TV schedule from earlier in the 1970s once, and I could swear
that WLBT tape-delayed the 9-10 a.m. NBC programs until 3:30-4:30 p.m. Did it do that in the
past and then stopped doing it, if you can remember?
3) WTOK in Meridian: it was common back in the days for U.S. senators to film or tape a short
program for broadcast each week by selected stations in their states, but these were normally
seen in the public affairs slots right after sign-on or before sign-off, and particularly on Sundays.
Did WTOK broadcast Senator Stennis' program every weeknight after the news? That's what your
listing suggests.
4) Was WAPT, in your opinion, on par with WLBT and WJTV, unlike some sole UHFs in an
otherwise VHF-dominated market? Its scheduling of the "ABC Evening News" at 5:30 instead of 5
makes me think that the station had confidence enough to take its competitors head-on, unlike,
say, WBMG (WIAT) in Birmingham against WAPI (WVTM) and WBRC.
P.S. I don't have any Mississippi editions other than the 1982 one I posted, but I do have a North
Alabama from 1972. I'll be happy to do that one soon for you.

Mississippi institution for that to happen. Would you guess she was an original station employee

I'm not entirely familiar with the hows and whys of Jackson television other than the historical
anecdotes and various research I've done about the "flap." I'm a native of Birmingham, and lived
in northeast Mississippi during the '70s (Tupelo).
My only theory as to Dot Lambert's scheduling in this case would be trying to get an after-school
audience for "Match Game 7x" (and brother would I have LOVED to have been able to get WJTV-
12 on cable in Tupelo, thus being able to watch "Joker's Wild" and "Match" every day!)
2) I caught a glimpse of a Jackson TV schedule from earlier in the 1970s once, and I could swear
that WLBT tape-delayed the 9-10 a.m. NBC programs until 3:30-4:30 p.m. Did it do that in the
past and then stopped doing it, if you can remember?
Not sure. Somewhere (!) I have a couple of microfilm printouts of WJTV and WLBT schedules
from 1968-69 I pulled up during a trip to Jackson a decade ago. I'd really like to locate those. As
we say around our house, "it's in a box somewhere."
I don't recall any red-flags in those listings, though. I think by then the lawyers pretty much ran
the show -- WLBT even had what looked to be an even-handed documentary on
desegregation ... in 1970, when Lamar Life still had the station. Fred Beard, WLBT's GM in the
dark days, was ever the firebrand "seg" who made all those on-the-fly preemption calls. He was
fired by Lamar Life in 1965, while they were sweating bullets over the license challenge.
What's more, WJTV-12 was said to have been nearly as bad as WLBT with biased coverage and
preemptions ... just not as blatant as Fred Beard (who was a honcho in the White Citizens
Council - read: KKK in business attire - and operated a "Freedom Bookstore" in WLBT's lobby,
complete with WCC/KKK literature). I suspect WJTV cynically operated in the shadow, knowing
WLBT was the one getting all the attention.
3) WTOK in Meridian: it was common back in the days for U.S. senators to film or tape a short
program for broadcast each week by selected stations in their states, but these were normally
seen in the public affairs slots right after sign-on or before sign-off, and particularly on Sundays.
Did WTOK broadcast Senator Stennis' program every weeknight after the news? That's what your
listing suggests.
Just on Mondays, it appeared.
4) Was WAPT, in your opinion, on par with WLBT and WJTV, unlike some sole UHFs in an
otherwise VHF-dominated market? Its scheduling of the "ABC Evening News" at 5:30 instead of 5
makes me think that the station had confidence enough to take its competitors head-on, unlike,
say, WBMG (WIAT) in Birmingham against WAPI (WVTM) and WBRC.
I highly doubt it. Again, having never watched WAPT back in the day. I'd suspect it's like most
other markets where a latecoming U showed up as a fulltime ABC. Savannah, Ga. (where I live)
for example. WJCL-22 (immortalized in last year's TVG Channel program "Making News:
Savannah Style") has never to my knowledge been on par with our well-established NBC (WSAV-
3) and CBS (WTOC-11 ... far and away the leader).
P.S. I don't have any Mississippi editions other than the 1982 one I posted, but I do have a North
Thanks ... I do have a number of North Ala. TVG issues, mostly from 1973-74, but only one from
1972. I'd love to see some from pre-1972, though.

Russell W., thanks so much for your kind replies on this and the Saturday sked post. It sure has
shed some light on one of the most notorious TV markets in the country. I have been looking,
with varying degrees of intensity, for pre-1972 North Alabama editions, with no success (on eBay
especially). I did buy some late 1960s Nashville editions from a Shelbyville, Tenn. man late last
year, and I will try to get those up in the months to come. I might try to take a tack from you and
visit the public library in Huntsville to copy the microfilm from the Huntsville Times' listings, as
cable systems (and some OTA as well) carried Nashville, Birmingham, and even Chattanooga back
in the day. The only diff between that and TVG would be the outlying stations such as WCBI and
WTWV (WTVA) in Mississippi, Tuscaloosa's WCFT and Anniston's WHMA (WJSU).
I also have South Alabama editions from 1974 and 1979. Those might be interesting too.
Again, great job!

I love any library that kept old issues of TV Guide or purchased it on microfilm.
The University of Alabama library in Tuscaloosa has the Northern Alabama edition from around
1968 and up in bound volumes.
Our public library in Memphis used to have TV Guide on microfilm back to when Memphis
channels first appeared, but trashed it for space reasons even though microfilm doesn't take up
much space. When I complained, they said I was the only one who ever used it. >

I should have a few from that time period, but I promised to do 1972 first for Russell W. After
then, I will fill your request. Thanks for your patience.

As of 1984-85, the library at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro had Memphis edition TVGs
on microfilm going back, I believe, to 1964. Dunno if they still have 'em, but you never know.....
And the TVGs at the U of A library are all bound, not microfilmed. I spent part of a day back in
'03 perusing them. They're so tightly bound as to be useless for photocopying adverts, or even
seeing some of the listings. >

Mike: I was just looking through a South Alabama TVG issue from 1974 this evening (01/19-25;
Bob Hope on the cover). I would love to see the 1979 listings, when/if you have time.
Classic TV Fan: I have a 1982 North Alabama edition within easy reach. I'll put that in the queue.
Meanwhile, I've just transcribed a week's worth of Jackson and Meridian listings from July 1962
(I thought it was 1960 .... oh well .....). I'll be posting those shortly.

Interesting how Columbus stations: Channel 6 & 10 are listed there, but not Columbus Channel
4, WCMH (formerly WLW-C). I assume that's because of there being WOAY, the Beckly-Bluefield
station on that channel. I have to think that with the right equipment, WCMH could be picked up
in that area as well.
I have read elsewhere WSAZ is competitive in Parkersburg via cable television, channel 3 has a
WIS Columbia, SC status over eastern West Virginia. Thanks to the wikipedia I have learned
Parkersburg was suppose to be part of a market that included Weston and Clarksburg. WTAP was
the weak link with its small UHF signal so the market never materialized.
Did that edition not have PBS stations, or did you just not feel like listing them?
I did not feel like listing them because there were four of them, and it took me
more than two hours to type out this schedule as it is.
Channel 4 in Columbus is short-spaced with 4's in Detroit, Pittsburgh, etc. My guess is that they
do not come in as far
away as the Ohio River? (I have heard that only WBNS and WOSU came in way down there)

Re: Retro: Northern Alabama--daytime, Jan 24-28, 1972
Thanks, Mike! I was hoping it would be as early in '72 as possible. We lived outside of Huntsville
(Madison) until the end of '71, so the schedule and some personality names bring it all back.
To answer one question, WHNT-19 did not have a local host for the "Popeye" segment, at least
not as far back as I became aware .... to my knowledge, the only 'kiddie show' 19 ever had was
"Barker Bill" in the '60s. WAAY Channel 31 used to have "The Johnny Evans Show" in the 3:30
timeslot, featuring a grandfather clock prop which looked awfully close to Captain Kangaroo's.
I'm forever amazed how Huntsville was able to incubate three fairly successful UHFs in the
shadow of Nashville and Birmingham (both of which can be decently received OTA in the Tenn.
valley), and do so in the '60s -- long after viewing habits began to gel.

Re: Retro: Northern Alabama--daytime, Jan 24-28, 1972
"What Every Woman Wants To Know" was a
syndicated consumer-affairs program hosted
by Bess Myerson. I remember Ch. 11 in Atlanta
airing that show.
"Barbara's Here" (I think the actual title was "Here's
Barbara") may have been the syndicated Barbara Coleman
show from Ch. 7 in Washington, DC. But WSIX had a
personality named Barbara Moore, so I'm as confused as

you are about who Barbara was.
I lived in Northern Alabama from June 1969 to June 1973,
graduated from high school in Birmingham, and would like
to see more of these postings. And if you ever have any
Northern Alabama TV Guides you'd like to sell, let me know.

(15) Earline in Storyland--possibly local children's show
And that, it was.
"Earline", dressed as an oversized 'little girl', read stories. That was about it.
Her fulltime job was a private piano teacher .... and "Earline" was no act. She was said to have
dressed and emulated the behavior, talk and mannerisms of a little girl in real life.

Today we call them "infomercials". Despite what others say (especially on Wikipedia),
infomercials lasted since the dawn of television -- it was in rdcent years that it proliferated. One
"commercial film" I remember fondly is one for "Shop Smith", a manufacturer of power tools --
they seemed to book time on at least one station, every time they staff comes to town to
demonstrate their wares.

"Lassie" is almost assuredly a new syndicated
episode, since the show stayed in production
for three years (1971-74) after leaving CBS.

...Bozo's Circus: anybody know exactly when did Ringmaster Ned Locke retire and WGN-TV/9
merge Garfield Goose & Friends into Bozo's Circus so Frazier Thomas could replace Mr. Ned?
And, for that matter, when were Garfield Goose and the other puppets discontinued from Bozo's
Circus? By the time Joey D'Auria took the role of Bozo over from Bob Bell, Cuddly Dudley was the
only puppet I recall still being used on the show...
...Presidential Debate: would this have been the one where the sound system crapped out and
both Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford stood there speechless for 20 minutes plus?...
...and I distinctly recall WFLD/32 adding LWT's SuperSonic rock music show to replace one of
these late-night Friday shows sometime during the Autumn of '76. Any info on exactly when that
took place?...

I never knew Renee Poussaint was in Chicago.
I remember her as co-anchor with David Schoumacher
on WJLA's "News 7" back around 1983. Wonder what
she's doing now?

Wasn't that show syndicated in the US as "Twiggy's Jukebox", with segments featuring Twiggy
replacing the original SuperSonic host?

I would think Rockford, Madison, Milwaukee and portions of the Chicago market where the
other markets' channels are available. Chicago proper already had its own edition.

Some years back I remember reading someplace, perhaps it was DCRTV that said Poussaint was
at the time working for BET. She may have since joined TV One but I am not sure. Renee was a
very good anchor. Come to think of it I also seem to recall she got into local Washington politics
for a brief time not long after she had left WJLA.
David Schoumacher...at the same time he was doing news on WJLA ( and even for a number of
years afterward ) owned WXVA-FM/AM in Charlestown, West Virginia. Come to think of it I
believe David even did a few shows on WXVA as well. While Schoumacher may have been a
great anchor on WJLA, as a disc jockey on WXVA...ah no. Let's just say it was clear to everyone in
the Charles Town region that WXVA was nothing more than David's personal jukebook and yes
he did have some strange taste in music.

They ran the movie "The Last Days of Pompeii", starring Steve Reeves.

replacing the original SuperSonic host?
...indeed, it was. However, that wasn't until 1978, when American International Television leased
the U.S. rights to the show; in 1976, the show was offered in syndication in its original form by
whoever LWT product was being distributed by in the United States (WMVS/10 ran LWT's sitcom
No, Honestly a few months before this). As I recall, there was no regular host on the editions of
SuperSonic that WFLD ran; possibly whatever links a host would have provided were clipped out
to make more room for commercials. I recall there were shots of Mike Mansfield, the show's
producer and director, calling for shots from the control room, so maybe Mansfield acted as host
as well in the U.K. edition...
I would think Rockford, Madison, Milwaukee and portions of the Chicago market where the
other markets' channels are available. Chicago proper already had its own edition.
You are correct. Basically, its main listings and market was Milwaukee (Black TV Bullets/white
channel numbers), since those stations took up more ad space for their shows than Madison and
Rockford (both White TV bullets/black channel numbers), plus TV Guide had a Milwaukee office
at the time. The Chicago stations (also Black TV bullets/white channel numbers) never placed
ads in this edition during its run.

Retro: Hawaii Prime Time May 1975
I've always been fascinated by tv schedules from Hawaii. The only one I've ever seen posted here
was from 1972, so here is the prime time lineup for the last week of May 1975. I always thought
Mobile's CBS station WKRG had a strange way of shuffling prime time programs around but in
Hawaii all 3 network affiliates do not follow the network.

I remember reading that prime time was a couple of weeks behind the mainland nets, even
Carson was behind by a week or two, and the network vening news ran the next morning in the
pre-sattelite days.
IIRC, the network shows were on tapes flown into Hawaii from LA and aired one week later. The
satellite was only used for live sports (NFL football started at 7 AM) and breaking news.
We have to save the Earth! It's the only planet with football and beer.

Re: Retro: Hawaii Prime Time May 1975
Like most people, I've only spent time in Hawaii as a tourist - first time in 1973. I remember
seeing shows that I'd already seen at home on the mainland a couple of weeks before. It seemed
like the schedules were scrambled too - so it wasn't just that everything was delayed a week or
two on the same schedule. Programs often ran on different days, if I remember correctly.
There was also a bit of counter-programming. Prime-time was early (7:00 - 10:00 like central-
mountain) on two affiliates. But the third affiliate (don't remember which one) ended network
programming a half hour earlier and ran late news at 9:30.
I also recall that all the news anchors wore suits and ties on the early news, but went casual with
bright Hawaiian short-sleeve shirts on the late news.

I read here awhile back, in one of the old schedules, that some stations ran the national
newscasts in late-night, after the talk shows or late movie, instead or (or in addition to) the
morning.
I also read somewhere that there was a "Hawaii edition" of the CBS Evening News in the 1970s --
if so, how was that done? I'm already aware of the West Coast edition with Terry Drinkwater
providing the latest news since the eastern edition, but what about Hawaii?

Note the absence, on CBS affiliate KGMB, of a famous show connected with the Islands. Any
reason "Five-O" was preempted that week?

I doubt the networks ever created a special edition just for the islands, but I do recall reading
that at one time, the local affiliates out there would do inserts/cut-ins during the broadcast
when they had updated information on the several hours old news being reported.

Somewhere in my collection I have a 1978 Hawaii edition of TV Guide. I need to dig it out one of
these days.
Despite being behind in the the time zone game, remembering that 1978 TV Guide, Hawaii was
actually way out in front when it comes to certain televsion related things like cable TV and
VCRs. Not only did I noticed a lot of ads for VCRs but even stores who rented the flicks too, and
this was in 1978 !!!! I believe even the local cable system at the time even had their own movie
channel...and HBO.

I hope you can post a lineup for the Hawaii stations from this edition when you get a chance. I
would like to see what they did with their schedules during the week, especially KHET and the
original KIKU (now KHNL).

1978 wasn't that early for movie channels. I paid extra for Showtime on cable as early as 1976 -
in Marin County (SF Bay Area). It was Viacom Cable in those days, and they offered only 12
channels - just what they could put on your rotary dial. But for Showtime, Viacom provided a set-
top box with 2 buttons (on/off). Pushing the button switched you to Showtime, which ran only
theatrical films from a year or more previous.
Showtime was the only choice, not HBO. Viacom owned Showtime (still does, actually) so they
were only providing their own in-house service.
This was pre-VCR, so no movie-rentals were available yet, and the only other choice was to wait
until the Big 3 networks would run them - with commercials and heavily censored. So it was
really great to see movies that I had missed in the theatre - uncut and commercial free.
On the downside, I remember that they rarely had any big hits, and ran a lot of "B" movie
clunkers. At least initially it wasn't a 24 hour service - just afternoon and evening.
Viacom owned Showtime (still does, actually) ...

Actually, CBS owns them now, following their split from Viacom.

Re: Retro: Northern Alabama--Sun, Jan 23, 1972
"The Big Picture" was supplied by the U.S. Army
to any stations that wanted it; in its heyday in
the '50s and early '60s it sometimes played on
more than one station in a market. By '72,
interest in the program was waning, a result of
U.S. disillusionment over Vietnam.

Another similarr show was "Industry On Parade". Usually a 15 minute filler program after an
occasional 15 or 45 minute show on many stations in the 1950's and 60's..Another similar show
on Ohio TV was "Ohio Story'..Usually a 10 minute program shown into the early 60's..Normally
at 20 or 50 minutes after the hour following a newscast on stations all over Ohio..Ohio Bell
sponsored "Ohio Story"

That's true; in New York, for example, during the late 1960's, WPIX (Ch. 11) and WNYC-TV (Ch.
31) ran The Big Picture.

I'm not sure about Channels 31, 33 and 48, but I can vouch that the church service on Channel
42 was indeed Baptist. It was the morning worship service telecast live from Hunter Street
Baptist Church (www.hunterstreet.org) , the church I grew up and still attend today.

Re: Retro: Northern Alabama--evening, Jan 24-28, 1972
They have a TV station in a state park there?
I have been to beautiful North Alabama, and was particularly impressed with
Monte Sano State Park. Absolutely beautiful views up there! I think every
broadcaster in Huntsville must have their tower on the adjacent ridge, but I
don't think that is actually located inside the park.

I visited there about 17 years ago, and at that time you could walk right up close to the tower.

FreddyE1977, you are correct. All the traditional Huntsville stations have their sticks on the brow
of Monte Sano. In fact, nearly all of them once had studios attached to those towers. It was only
when NBC affiliate WAFF (channel 48) lost its building to a fire in March 1982 that the exodus of
the studios began, with its move and that of CBS affil WHNT (channel 19) five years afterward
down into the city proper. Only WAAY (ABC, channel 31) maintains its original studio up on the
mountain. In all cases, though, they are located alongside Monte Santo Boulevard, not inside the
state park, which lies to the east in the plateau area.
As for the WCIQ translator, all of Alabama Public Television's stations have been mainly
translators from the beginning of the system. Stations in Huntsville, Birmingham, and Mobile
occasionally produced their own public affairs programs during the 1970s and 1980s that were
not shown on the entire network, but since the 1990s, all have simulcasted. The offices and
studios of APT are on Birmingham's Southside, with a small studio in Montgomery for state-
government-related public affairs shows.

It's not your fault; I remember TV Guide listing the
show on Ch. 15 as "Dr. Simon Locke, M.D." That is,
however, redundant, just as Bill Cosby
used to identify himself as "Dr. William H. Cosby, Jr.,
Ed.D." (Either use the title in front of the name or
the degree abbreviation after, but not both). The
actual name of the show was "Dr. Simon Locke."
I fault the person at Ch. 15 who sent the listing to
TV Guide.
"Magic Circus," which pre-empted "Longstreet" on
Ch. 8 that Thursday, was Mark Wilson's more elaborate
version of his popular "Magic Land Of Allakazam" from the
'60s.
Now for an opinion: I always thought that Birmingham was
the most backward market I ever lived in; I couldn't wait
for the opportunity to go to Atlanta so I could see what
was really going on, and it wasn't ancient, obscure
Westerns. Things began to change in the fall of '72 when
the access rule kicked in; nowadays, Birmingham is no different
from any other market, as far as I can tell. Post some listings
from the 1972-73 season and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Only WAAY (ABC, channel 31) maintains its original studio up on the mountain.
As I understand it: the distance to the nearest fire station, plus poor water pressure, ultimately
caused WAFF's studio building to be a total loss. (apparently the transmitter was in a different
building up there, as it was unharmed)
And after 48's disaster, WHNT-19 'got religion' and began house-hunting down in the city itself.
As for WAAY-31, they're fortunate in that its facility is located across the street from the Monte
Sano fire station.

Re: RETRO: JACKSON & MERIDIAN, MISSISSIPPI - WEEKDAYS, 07/09-13/1962
Shame! No fulltime ABC affiliates. In the
summer of '62 I had to watch "Camouflage"
and "Who Do You Trust?" every day. I guess if

I'd lived in Mississippi, unless I could get WBRC,
WVUE, or WHBQ I'd been out of luck.

...or KATV (Little Rock) - which has always had cable (and, to a lesser extent, OTA) presence in
parts of the state's delta region.
Then there's WABG-6 in Greenwood (not listed here). I'm not sure when exactly they became an
ABC primary affil, but somewhere I have a scan of a 1967 fullpage advert in the Jackson Clarion-
Ledger touting "the full ABC schedule."
And prior to WBRC flipping to ABC in '61, Alabama was just about in the same boat re ABC ... the
state's first and at the time only primary ABC was in Huntsville, WAFG-31 (became WAAY-TV in
1963), with a signal doing well just to make it down the mountain.

Re: Retro: Northern Alabama--weekdays, Sept 13-17, 1982
Will do, over the next week or so. Please be patient. Thanks.
When did WTTO Channel 21 first sign on?
Channel 21 signed on at 6:00 p.m. on 4/21/82, airing the forementioned "Buck Rogers in the
21st Century".
(6) Country Boy Eddie--Birmingham TV institution still going strong
Actually, Country Boy Eddie retired from Channel 6 circa 2000, maybe even earlier.
Country Boy Eddy (correct spelling) aired his last show on WBRC at the end of 1993. Not sure if
he stuck around in any capacity beyond that, but the program ended not too long after Tom York
retired from The Morning Show, from which Burns' show was spun off.
--Russell
My apologies for the misunderstanding. I was referring to the show at the time, not now. I admit
to interchanging past and present tense in these skeds, and I need to stop that. From now on, I
will be sure to use the word "was" when referring to now-defunct shows. Thanks for pointing
that out.
Mike: Speaking for myself, I understood where you were coming from. In 1972, he WAS going
strong. Ditto for 1982 ... even 1992.
One piece of video I'd love to see, were any archived (I highly doubt it), would be the 1965-66
period of time, when Country Boy Eddy had a regular vocalist on his show, a beautician with a
dream. Woman by the name of Tammy Wynette.
--Russell
R.W., if anybody has a tape of Tammy Wynette's performances on "Country Boy Eddy," it would
probably be the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville
(http://www.countrymusichalloffame.com/site/). I am very sure that WBRC would not, since,
under FOX ownership, probably everything from the past (logs, archives, etc.) went into the
garbage can shortly after the takeover there in the mid-1990s. Whether new owners LocalTV will
do better than News Corporation is anybody's guess.

Good thing you didn't try to convert them to Mountain Time.
It would have been a mess.
You'd probably have variances for each market. Would a given show
be that night's, or last week's? And what was network feed (live or
tape-delayed) vs. 16mm film?

I remember (and note, I lived in the Eastern time zone
in 1962, as I do today) delayed live or taped shows being
on film; we got "Ted Mack's Amateur Hour" in Raleigh on
at least a week's delay...on film. I remember that fall,

"Pantomime Quiz" was revived on CBS as "Stump The Stars."
WFMY Greensboro carried it in pattern on Monday nights
at 10:30, on tape. WRAL Raleigh (an ABC affiliate with a
hole to fill on Friday nights at 10:30, taking a show WTVD
didn't want) carried it on film on a week's delay. "To Tell
The Truth" and "I've Got A Secret" are two more which aired
in Raleigh on delay and on film.
I seem to recall Lawrence Welk being seen on film on every
station that didn't carry him in pattern on Saturday nights.
Occasionally, PBS shows episodes from the late '50s or early
'60s, and they are on film; anything after 1965 is on tape.

Any indication of what shows were in color? I know NBC was getting into it pretty heavy in the
early 1960's (going to full color around 1965) but I wondered how much ABC and CBS did, if any?

I always enjoyed "The Lively Ones" with Vic Damone on NBC-TV on Thursday nights both that
1962 Summer and also the following summer. The program took a somewhat different look at
the musical performances. Rather than just having Peter Nero playing a selection on the piano,
they showed him doing it with a moving radar dish in the background. It's also easy to remember
the sponsor of the show was the Ford Motor Co. The song "The Lively Ones" sung by Damone
used different words in its advertisements to urge people to buy a Ford.

On NBC: "Play Your Hunch," "The Price Is Right,"
"Your First Impression," "The Jan Murray Show,"
"Tales Of Wells Fargo," some movies, "Meet The
Press," "The Bullwinkle Show," "Walt Disney's

Wonderful World Of Color," "Bonanza," "The DuPont
Show Of The Week," "Laramie," "David Brinkley's
Journal," "Sing Along With Mitch," "The Tonight Show."
On ABC: "The Flintstones" in selected markets; "The
Jetsons" would be the first color series carried on the
full network starting that fall.
No color shows on CBS. They would be 50% color
by the 1965-66 season; ABC would be 40%.

"The Lively Ones" was also known for its
unique settings for its guests; for example,
Benny Goodman and his combo performed
on the steps of the Capitol in Washington, DC.
The show was a critical hit and must have done
pretty well in the ratings to be aired two summers

in a row.
BTW, Ford "owned" Thursday 9:30-10 on NBC
for years; it sponsored the show "The Lively Ones"
replaced in the summers of '62 and '63--"Hazel"--
and, before that, the "Ford Theater" in the '50s
and "The Ford Show Starring Tennessee Ernie Ford"
(1956-61). Likewise, Chevrolet "owned" the preceding
half-hour on ABC, sponsoring "The Pat Boone Chevy
Showroom" in the late '50s, then "My Three Sons" and
"Bewitched" (the last alternating with Quaker Oats).

ABC did zilch color until the fall of 1962 with the premiere of The Jetsons, and only then all color
programming they had (i.e. very, very little) was on film. CBS still harbored bitterness over the
failure of its color system and only did color on very special occasions (i.e. The Wizard of Oz). The
only thing that brought CBS around to color, in 1965, was the introduction of Norelco's three-
Plumbicon PC-60 camera* and Ampex's high-band color VR-2000 quad VTR.
* Chuck Pharis' website said that the distinguishing characteristic of the PC-60 vs. the
subsequent PC-70 was that "the PC-60 has round applied handles on the camera body [whereas
t]he PC-70 has square built in handles on the camera body." Actually, the first PC-70's, from
within the first months of its introduction in early 1966, had the same "round applied handles on
the camera body" as opposed to the "square built-in handles on the camera body" that turned
up after late 1966. But another distinguishing characteristic of the PC-60 was a stainless(?) steel
metal belt in the middle of the camera body, with small Philips and Norelco logos printed on. PC-
70's, by contrast, had a dark belt in the middle the camera body and a large "Norelco" logo plate
(not unlike the "(RCA)" and "Television" plates of many a B&W I/O TK-10/11/30/31/60 camera).
This can be a might confusing to many. CBS bought the bulk of their PC-70's in early 1966, this is
why you see many pictures of what may appear at first glance to be PC-60's because of those
"round applied handles," but with the dark belt and large "Norelco" logo plates, from the late
1960's into the 1970's.

According to Ed Reitan's excellent website, colorcasts were so infrequent at CBS in the 50's and
early 60's that much equipment maintenance and alignment/adjustment had to be done when a
rare color broadcast was scheduled, as none of the color equipment was even regularly powered
up.
Retro: Dallas/Ft. Worth Monday, April 14, 1980
ABC and CBS entered this, the last week of the

"regular" 1979-80 season tied for the ratings lead.
On Sunday, April 20, CBS would win the night, the
week, and the season by one-tenth of a point:
19.6-19.5. What does it? A two-hour "Dukes Of
Hazzard" on CBS against a rerun of "The Sting" on
ABC.

Re: Retro: Dallas/Ft. Worth Monday, April 14, 1980
Now here's what I call giving kids a real choice of alternative programming:
KTVT Ch. 11 (Ind.)
KXTX Ch. 39 (Ind.)
2:30 Popeye And Bugs Hour
(sarcasm off)
At this time, KTVT and KXTX were the only independent stations in DFW -- and the only stations
with kids' programming on weekday afternoons. That would change dramatically in the next few
years, with KTXA/21 coming in first, and later KTWS/27 and KRLD/33 eventually competing as
general market independents.

You're entitled. All the time and effort you put into this post and a similar one should not go
unnoticed!
Mike:Too Close For Comfort ran on ABC, not NBC
Another Mistake!!! What was I thinking? It's a good thing I never worked for TV Guide or a
newspaper, doing its TV listings! Sorry about that.
Hey, I don't know about yours, but in the handful of old TVGs that I own, there are misprints and
typos galore!

WPIX 11-Ind
7:30 First Show "The Years Between"
This title, I.I.N.M., was used for prime-time movie screenings on WPIX throughout the 1950's.
The First Show title was revived very briefly, for the week of Dec. 16-20, 1974, when Channel 11
resumed showing films weeknights in prime time (albeit now at 8 P.M. rather than 7:30). The
very next week - beginning Dec. 23, 1974 - was when WPIX first adopted the title by which that
movie show would be known into the 1990's: The Eight O'Clock Movie.

The 5:30-6pm half-hour is also missing.
XETV 6 would have run something then (another Marshal Dillon
a la 11pm?...being in TJ they seem to be devoid of local news)
following the early 5:00 airing of ABC News.
Prospect must have fed ABC News as early as 5 to the left coast
back then since, as I recall, the Vegas affil also ran it at 5.
It also appears--missing half hours aside--that ABC daytime
was run on an Eastern clock pattern rather than Central.

How could Mister Rogers have aired on Channel 24 at noon right after Sesame Street at 11:30?
Sesame Street was an hour show. Unless it was really on at 12:30.

I'm guessing that the ABC stations could run the evening news anytime
as soon as it broadcast it for the right coast. It comes in handy when
ABC did live sports broadcasts at 5pm Pacific time.
From what I remember, ABC daytime shows followed the Eastern time zone schedule
while CBS had the Central time zone schedule. NBC had the 9am-noon at Central,
but the noon-3pm was Central minus 1/2 hour.
In circa March of 1974, ABC began to phase in an earlier start time for its daytime
schedule. Rather than starting at 11:30 for The Brady Bunch, it started at 10:30
and ended with the 3:00 airing of General Hosptial. It gets complicated and
warrants another subject. I'm working on a retro TV listings websection
and will post what I have later.

ABC did live sports broadcasts at 5pm Pacific time.
At that time (1973) it was all Telco lines and the Pacific zone stations
received whatever ABC El Lay was feeding--mostly the left coast delay.
Since these listings note ABC daytime ran until 4:30, it is likely the first
opportunity for Prospect to feed the evening news was 5:00, as 4:30-5
was probably the closed-circuit DEF feed.
From what I remember, ABC daytime shows followed the Eastern time zone schedule
while CBS had the Central time zone schedule. NBC had the 9am-noon at Central,
but the noon-3pm was Central minus 1/2 hour.
That was always strange on NBC where ET/CT had a local hole at 1/12
(MT at 11) but PT went straight through without one. Had NBC been
this way back to when they began daytime tape-delay for the Pacific
zone (guessing circa 1957-58)? Prior to that, was it a mix of a Today
Show kinnie (another current thread), ET afternoon shows coming in
live in the morning, and ET morning shows kinnied in the afternoon?

Looking forward to seeing all the "complications."

If anyone has any retro TV listings for the Pacific time zone cities, they can post
them in a separate thread and the readers could have a stab at them.

Wouldn't this circa March 1974 period have been the time that The 6:30 Movie on KABC (and
KGO in San Francisco) was moved three hours down and transformed into The 3:30 Movie? (I
know that before the Prime-Time Access Rule kicked in starting 1971, both stations had The 6:00
Movie.)

According to a Retro Los Angeles TV listing post earlier,
(January 24, 1974) channel 7 ran the movie at 6:30.

It's late afternoon lineup on that date:
4:30 Eyewitness News (Schubeck/Morris)
5:30 ABC News (Howard K. Smith/Harry Reasoner)
6:00 Eyewitness News (Hambrick/Morris)
According to the listing, 7 ran another movie at 9:30am.
(January 24, 1975) the movie ran at 3:30, followed
by news at 5 and 6, then ABC news at 7.
If anyone has a retro TV listings from March and April
of 1974, we could know whether the movie was moved
to 3:30 immediately after the ABC daytime shift
ahead one hour.

I have the February 17, 1973 San Diego edition of TV Guide. XETV aired Hazel at 5:30. In the fall
preview issue from September as an ind. Gilligan's Island was on at 5:00 and Mayberry R.F.D. art
5:30. Sometime that year Channel 39 fiinally became ABC for 5 years.
According to a Retro Los Angeles TV listing post earlier, (January 24, 1974) channel 7 ran the
movie at 6:30. It's late afternoon lineup on that date:
4:30 Eyewitness News (Schubeck/Morris)
5:30 ABC News (Howard K. Smith/Harry Reasoner)
6:00 Eyewitness News (Hambrick/Morris)
According to the listing, 7 ran another movie at 9:30am.
(January 24, 1975) the movie ran at 3:30, followed by news at 5 and 6, then ABC news at 7.
If anyone has a retro TV listings from March and April of 1974, we could know whether the
movie was moved to 3:30 immediately after the ABC daytime shift ahead one hour.
This change in Left Coast network feed doubtless would have been just as applicable for ABC's
San Francisco O&O KGO-TV as for KABC, given that both stations had The Six-Thirty Movie up to
1974 and The 3:30 Movie afterwards.
Lifetime TV's Very First Program Schedule
When Lifetime-Television For Women celebrated it's 20th anniversary last year, they didn't have
a anniversary special. I know that Lifetime started out as two networks: Cable Health
Network(CHN)and Daytime, the two networks merged to become Lifetime. Does anyone have a
schedule for Lifetime's very dirst day on the air? I would like to see it!! Please!!

Lucky you. I saved my TV Guide (Santa Barbara-Bakersfield edition) for that week precisely
because of that merger.
In fact, I'll give you the day before as CHN as well. All times Pacific. Where I know that TV Guide
abbreviated a show title, I have corrected it.
January 31, 1984:
5:00am Regis Philbin's Health Styles
6:00 Crisis Counselor
6:30 It Figures
7:00 Mommy, Daddy and Me
7:30 Whole New You
8:00 Cable Health World Report
8:30 New Way Gourmet
9:00 Body Factory
9:30 Charlie Rose
10:00 Pet Peeves
10:30 Mommy, Daddy and Me
11:00 Human Sexuality
12:00pm Whole New You

12:30 Better Way
1:00 Regis Philbin's Health Styles
2:00 Growing Older
3:00 Everybody's Children
3:30 It Figures
4:00 Nature of Things
5:30 Fast Forward
8:30 Everybody's Children
9:00 Fast Forward
9:30 Special Presentation (this was not a "Lifetime is coming" show, CHN used this as an
umbrella title for various non-series documentaries and the like)
12:00am Are You Listening
12:30 Charlie Rose
1:30 Lifetime (CHN had a magazine program with this title before the merger)
2:00 Take Charge!

2:30 Special Presentation
3:00 Charlie Rose
3:30 It Figures
4:30 Lifetime
On this last day before the merger, Daytime was listed the same way TV Guide always had, with
"[DAY] Daytime" at 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, and 1:00, and a paragraph outlining that hour's
scheduled program segments.
February 1, 1984:
5:00am Regis Philbin's Health Styles
6:00 It Figures
6:30 Pet Peeves
7:00 Physician's Journal Update
9:30 Salute to the Elderly
10:30 View from Cosmo
11:00 Daytime Magazine
1:00pm Private Lives/Public People
3:00 American Adventure
3:30 Traveller's World
4:00 Mother's Day
4:30 80's Woman

5:00 View from Cosmo
8:00 Pet Peeves
1:00am Daytime Magazine
3:30 It Figures
4:00 Medical Marvels
4:30 80's Woman
I'm going to include the second day, as the schedule appeared to be in a special "sneak preview"
mode for the first couple of days, and the second day appears to be more indicative of the
regular schedule.
February 2, 1984:
5:00am Regis Philbin's Health Styles *
6:00 It Figures *
6:30 Mother's Day
7:00 Daytime Magazine *

9:00 Human Sexuality *
9:30 80's Woman *
10:00 Working Mother
10:30 Better Way
1:00pm Weekend Athlete
1:30 Cable Health World Report *
2:00 Regis Philbin's Health Styles *
3:00 New Way Gourmet
4:00 Working Mother *
4:30 80's Woman *
5:00 Better Way
5:30 A Conversation With ... (pre-empted Cable Health World Report only on this day)
7:00 Nature of Things *
8:00 Better Way
10:00 Nature of Things *
11:00 Stretch with Priscilla
12:00am Lifetime
12:30 Fast Forward
1:00 Healthline
1:30 Charlie Rose
2:00 Coping
2:30 Picture of Health
3:30 It Figures *
4:00 Working Mother *
4:30 80's Woman *
Shows with a * were in the same time slots February 3. The other time slots rotated a variety of
half-hour shows, which are mostly the ones without *s. Also, the 11:00pm to 3:00am block went
back to repeating Daytime Magazine after the first day.

I'd have thought it could have been a day of "Movie: Men are Jerks". Looks like that phase was
later.

And you needed to requote my entire post to say that?
People, PLEASE learn to delete portions of posts you don't need in your reply. On this board,
because we do post entire schedules, requoting entire posts (1) makes it harder to find what you
are talking about, (2) makes it take longer for posts to load because they take more space in the
database, and (3) get people -- like the moderator --- upset at having to unnecessarily scroll.
Thank you very much, again.

I was trying for a more diplomatic way of saying it, but you have the general idea.
Except that I do not consider the people on this board to be "idiots" (now, some of the
other boards I moderate ...).

Although I wouldn't have cared much about most of the original schedule, it still looks better
than most of the junk that Lifetime runs now. :

The game was on NBC (Bob Wolff doing play-
by-play and Joe Garagiola doing color); both it
and CBS had Saturday and Sunday baseball at
the time. The Reds weren't on television that
day; WLW-T and WLEX would have carried their
game and it would not have been seen in Louisville
(itself an oddity). The Cubs-Phillies game on Ch. 11
was on CBS (Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese).
The day before, the following games were available
in Kentucky:
Giants-Reds on Chs. 5 and 18
Orioles-Yankees on Ch. 11 (CBS)
Tigers-Twins on Ch. 3 (NBC)

The Saturday games I remember--the Sunday ones I don't. Thanks!

This is the Bob Wolff who did the Don Larsen perfect game on radio in the 1956 World Series and
the 1958 NFL Title Game (Colts & Giants) on radio. In 1964, NBC-TV did a game of the week on
Sundays. Wolff is still heard on a New York City area cable channel.

To extend on what 'Cincinnati Kid' wrote, the Another World announcer was Bill Wolff. I don't
know if he and Bob Wolff were related, however,

Two questions:
1. How was Mission Cable 2 able to obtain
CBS programs?
2. Did any San Diego station carry "Best Of
Groucho"? It was a hot property at the time.
1. How was Mission Cable 2 able to obtain
CBS programs?
They most likely picked them up from KNXT, as those programs were seen simuktaneously on
both channels. It's unknown if they did the same for NBC or ABC shows pre-empted locally.
Until the 1980s, it was not uncommon for cable systems to show loally-preempted shows on
their local access channels, picked up from the nearest affiliate out of the local market.
We had a thread some time back on that very practice:

So did I, but why did you clip Ch. 10's schedule?
"Time Tunnel" was on ABC, which would put it on
Ch. 6 in Philadelphia.

If I live to be 100 I will never understand why any
ABC affiliate would run "Where The Action Is" in the
morning; I've found it in Norfolk, Orlando, Cincinnati,
and now Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. I know, they could
run more profitable shows at 4:30 (like Bungles And
His Friends in Norfolk), but just who would be watching
"Action" in the morning? Seems they'd have been better
off pre-empting the show.

Forgive me if this question had been asked before but what exactly was the purpose of "The
Keystone Network"?
Some years back on another site I remember someone mentioning that back in the 60s and 70s,
WLYH, WHP and WSBA could not be seen outside their main cities ( Example..WHP couldn't be
picked up in Lebanon for example even though there wasn't much in terms of distance between
Harrisburg and Lebanon..thats why WLYH was CBS as was WHP ). Ah..I am not sure if I buy that. I
believe even back then ( 1966 ) WSBA could reach Baltimore but not Harrisburg? Odd
I know back in the early 80s when all three were still with CBS, I had no trouble at all getting
both WLYH and WSBA in Northern Virginia. Not the best but still watchable. WHP OTOH...tough
catch unless their next door neighbor ( Washington's WDCA-TV channel 20 ) would be off the air.
WFIL 6-ABC Philadelphia
4:00 Popeye Theatre
Was Sally Starr still hosting it in '66?
Listings didn't indicate...anyone out there know the answer? ???
Per Wikipedia, Starr hosted the show through 1971.

I actually remember house-sitting for a relative while they went out and celebrated
on that very day. I remember watching Mr. Belvedere and Benson, but can't recall
which Benson episode it was.

Re: Retro: San Diego Wed, Sept 12, 1979
For anyone who may be wondering, "Raquel" on Ch. 12
is not Raquel Welch. If I'm not mistaken it's a telenovela
(soap opera to audiences who don't watch Spanish-language
channels).

Oops ...that's who I meant, I was even looking at the ads when flipping through it- that's what I
get for typing before the coffee kicks in ;D
Retro: Chicago/Milwaukee/Rockford/Madison Mon, Sept 20, 1976
The network ads in that week's issue were a bit strange...other than 1 ad for CBS and 1 for ABC
which both listed the channels for all 4 markets...the ABC ads only showed the Chicago station's
logo, and the CBS and NBC ads had just Milwaukee's...

4 PM TV POWW Hour
12 N Channel 20 Goes To School
By the way, I guess WBTV had no faith in Stockard Channing!

I didn't move to the DC area until 1983 so I
don't know anything about Channel 20 Goes
To School, unless it was some sort of in-school
instructional program. TV POWW was an interactive
game that a number of stations inserted into breaks
in their afternoon kids' blocks. It was a telephone
game in which kids tried to hit a target by yelling,
"POWW!" If successful, they won a prize. (Los Angeles
viewers may remember a similar format for adults on
Ch. 9 called "The Golden Shot Movie.")
CBS gave Stockard Channing a couple of shots at her
own sitcom and neither made it. So WBTV obviously
figured it was best to pre-empt her; the station had a
pretty high pre-emption rate until recent years.

Which, no doubt, imported the concept from the UK, where a similar show ran from 1967 to
1975 (in turn, they borrowed it from Germany). See:

Around the same time as these listings, Baltimore's WMAR-TV channel 2 had something similar
as "TV POWW" that they ran during the 4-5pm block which I believe was Tom & Jerry cartoons
and reruns of Good Times. I don't remember exactly the name of WMAR's game but I do know it
was not called TV POWWW but it was interactive such as Tic Tac Toe for example. Anyway it
didn't last long and I think I know why. One afternoon I can remember watching the late great
Stu Kerr doing this game LIVE and asked for a caller. It was a teenager ( I still remember the "oh
man..dude" line he gave to Kerr ). To make a long story short, the teenager lost the game and
when it flashed across the screen "you lose turkey", the teenager says " F*** YOU !!!" And then
Stu Kerr with a smile on his face says "...well same to you...and have a good afternoon", Then
came "Good Times". The next day the game NOT played and I don't think it ever came back. Stu
would leave WMAR a short time later but not because of this.
I would love to hear Stu Kerr's OFF camera reaction to this as he was known to have used some
rather salty language over the years. ;D

1. Oh, so it was kinda like WPIX/New York's "PIX PIX PIX" game! Gotcha...
2. I just thought it was comical that WBTV would go so far as to overflow syndicated
programming into its primetime lineup! When did "Muppet Show" normally air on WBTV at this
time?

Before "PM Magazine" began airing five nights
a week on WBTV in the fall of '79, "Muppet
Show" had aired Fridays at 7:30. I haven't
been able to track down when the Muppets
aired after September 1979; one time slot I
have is Tuesday 8 PM on September 11, 1979,
and that may have been its time slot, paired
with "Happy Days" reruns at 8:30. I'm not sure
what aired on April 29, probably "The White Shadow."

So this would be about two years before Frank Sinstra's huge hit--
Stranglers In The Night.
(Sorry Tim...no malice intended, I enjoy your posts and I know it's
just a @#$% typo, but it was too good to pass up! )
Interesting that they would show The Indians game & a Yankees game at the same time.
Even though the Yankees were on in Youngstown you would think that they would be showing a
Cleveland game.
Actually, Radioman, you inadvertently caught a mistake I made..
WYTV-33 Youngstown was also showing the Indians game. I just forgot to include them in the
listing..The Yankee Game on Channel 27 was a CBS Network presentation..Since you cant edit
after a short time..oh well..
No problem. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.

A few interesting notes:
2:00 RAETA Presents

I wonder if this program is a precursor to public TV WXXI...Which I've heard used WROC's studios
for educational TV way before WXXI went on the air in about 1965? Guessing RAETA stands for
"Rochester Area Educational TV Association"...
Also....Did you notice that one of the two original affiliates of the NBC network, WRGB
Schenectady, did not carry The Tonight Show?
And this guide does not list two stations: WINR channel 40, Binghamton's NBC affiliate, that
went on the air in 1957; and WSYE/Elmira channel 18, that went on the air in 1956 as a
"satellite" station of WSYR/Syracuse. Does anyone know what criteria, if any, TV Guide used to
list or not list stations back then?

{/quote]
You're on the money with RAETA. RAETA also did production in the basement of the old East
High School. RAETA "borrowed" time from the locals for programming, and later went to a
closed-circuit system, which was used until WXXI signed on in 1966.
A collector of odd, obscure, and totally useless information!

I wonder which Steve Allen Show that was? He wasn't still hosting the Tonight Show and his
Westinghouse show hadn't started yet. It wasn't Sunday night so it couldn't have been his
weekly variety show--hmmm.

Interesting that in some cases of passive repeaters with 100% duplication, TVG would handle it
this way, and in other editions they would list both channel numbers by every program in the
listings. Think of Albany NY 10/North Adams MA 19, or even stranger 30 New Britain CT/79
Torrington CT(W79AI) -- a rare case of a translator making it into the main listings even though
(a)it duplicated the programming 100%, and (b)from what I've read, hardly anyone watched 79

Hmmm I don't remember that one just the one on Sunday nights opposite Ed Sullivan &
Maverick.
I wonder if they moved the Sunday night show to Monday for a year?

From the WNBF-TV Binghamton list...7PM Fashions For Milady..with your host A. Murphy
Drazen. That show was a classic. A full half hour commercial for Drazen's City of Fashion and
downtown Binghamton store. IIRC..that show lasted well into the 1970's. A number of
Binghamton area teens got their "big chance" when asked to model the stores various dress
fashions on TV. The show was live (and looked it). Cheesy sets and the ever-shiny head of
Murphy Drazen and his son Bruce chatting away about "today's brightest fashions". My mother
was always convinced that if his father hadn't owned the store, that Bruce Drazen would have
been pushing a broom to make a living instead of being on TV. Ahhh...good old live, loca &
cheesy TV!! What a great memory!!
Thank-You!!

WSYE-18 Elmira was a total funnel for WSYR-3 Syracuse except for local news. 18 operated it's
own news department with Bruce Flaherty as their ND, and a gentleman by the name of Carl
Proper was with them for a very long time. Essentially 18 would just rebroadcast 3's
programming and then cut away for the news broadcasts.
I wonder if they moved the Sunday night show to Monday for a year?
Brooks & Marsh infer that, yes. Also the last season for Steverino on NBC,
the appended title due to full sponsorship, and the show origination moved
from NYC to El Lay.
His ABC show (Wednesday 7:30/6:30) ran from September-December 1961
and the Westinghouse syndie 1962-1964.
Thanks for the info on Steverino.

Yes, I worked with Carl in the earlier part of this century. A gentleman through and through. He
was the kind of guy who would actually jump in and do studio camera, if need be (even though
he was the 6Pm anchor!). He came from the era when, if you worked at a TV station, you knew
how to do EVERYTHING. Bruce, though he had retired by then, used to drop by the station now
and then.
Carl retired a couple years ago.
18's studio was at the top of Hawley Hill, at their transmitter site. Carl told me proudly that they
once covered breaking news "live" in the 50's: A grass fire outside their studio. They just pointed
a camera out the garage doors!
They got their signal from Syracuse via those old relay towers at the top of Connecticut Hill,
outside Ithaca.
When I worked at ch. 3, an old-timey director showed me an 11PM newscast rundown from the
1960s. They had to time everything to end at ten minutes after the hour -- because that is when
WSYE would break away and run the local Elmira news.
WSYE also did a local talk show called "Monday, Monday" (on Mondays, obviously). Carl told me
they had one reel of 2" videotape to record that show -- and just reused it again and again and
again.

Re: Retro: Central Indiana--Sat, June 2, 1973
CORRECTION: the 11:30 a.m. listing on WLWI and WIIL for "Lidsville" should read "Another
dose," not "Another does." Another bout of dyslexia for you (or poor typing skills). Anyway, sorry
about that.

( 8 ) (10) (18) Movie--"A Good Medium Is Rare," cartoon
This was actually an episode of "The New Scooby Doo Movies" -- this one guest starring Phyllis
Diller. Since it had "Movies" in the title, TVG often list this series as "Movie", instead of "New
Scooby Doo Movies" or even just "Scooby Doo".
Around this time, ABC had the "Saturday Superstar Movie" (of which "Oliver Twist and the Artful
Dodger" was part of) -- it was also listed merely as "Movie".

Harry Morgan filling in for Merv Griffin. I would have liked to have seen that.

"Davey and Goliath" on public TV ... now, that's worthy of a thread all its own. I wonder also
about CPB regulations at the time regarding religious programming, which "D&G" clearly was,
given the Lutheran Church's insignia in the show's intro (set to the tune of the hallowed hymn "A
Mighty Fortress is Our God") and explicit mention in the credits. Perhaps the show was not
regarded as, according to the legal expression, "pervasively sectarian" (meaning no doctrinal
preaching) and thus granted an exemption, permitting PBS (or, in this case, NET) affiliates to
carry it.
There are other instances, though, of pubcasters running outright religious programming, such
as reruns of Bishop Fulton Sheen. There was even a case in the 1980s where, in Evansville,
Indiana, WNIN carried the local Catholic Mass, in the absence of commercial station interest and
likely with a stated intent to perform a public service to that market's large Catholic population.
So any supposedly hard-and-fast, First Amendment-church-and-state-separation regs may have
been lacking then and later patched up when aggrieved groups like the ACLU protested and/or
sued. I can tell you for one thing, no PBS station would dare carry any religious show today (not
that any evangelists would want their broadcasts on a "godless, secular" outlet like that anyway).
WARNING: I have a feeling that this thread might go on for pages and pages ...
... no PBS station would dare carry any religious show today (not that any evangelists would want

Unless your'e KBYU in Provo, Utah -- a PBS station owned and operated by Brigham Young
University, in turn owned by the Mormon Church. They run some religious programming
alongside PBS shows to this day.
New Orleans' WLAE is another case, which is partially owned by a Catholic group -- they show a
Catholic mass every Sunday.
Would you think that the CPB granted those stations special exemptions from otherwise
prohibiting religious proselytizing? Or might there have been a "grandfather" clause allowing a
station's past practices to continue if the broadcaster was at the time affiliated with a religious
body? You have to ask those questions, because they may hold the key to religious groups' gripes
against PBS and public broadcasting in general.

Actually, PBS does run shows now and then about religion -- its history, cultures, its role in world
politics, etc. What you won't find on PBS are shows that are intended as proselytizing vehicles --
evangelists and the like. But a show about the Jewish diaspora, a history of the Vatican, a study
of American Muslims, or even a performance of Bach's "St. Matthew Passion" could all be
considered "religious," but trying to educate and enlighten rather than convert.
WARNING: I have a feeling that this thread might go on for pages and pages ...
Or end up in the Land of "TIO"...

I wonder which one it was. In 68 Harry (the one who changed his name) was on the
reincarnation of Dragnet.

It was May 20, 1968 when "The 4:30 Movie" began on WXYZ, followed by a solid hour of local
news at 6.
They even had a TV Guide ad announcing the move here:

Re: Retro: Central Florida Thursday, May 11, 1972
6 AM Sunrise Jubilee (Slim Mims)
We've mentioned this before in these Orlando skeds, but IIRC Sunrise Jubilee is what replaced
Slim Mims' show. Sunrise Jubilee had the mysterious Gene Thomley as host, about whom I've
never been able to find a shred of info. The only reason I think either I, you, or TVG is confused is
that I thought the switch took place later than Spring of '72. That would have been less than a
year after I myself relocated to Orlando (I would have been in 9th grade at the time) and I
thought ol' Slim was on WFTV well into my sophomore year of high school.

I didn't move to Florida until the summer of 1973
(and to Tampa at that), and IIRC "Sunrise Jubilee"
was on WFTV by that time. However, I just post
them the way they appear in TV Guide, which was
the case here. Slim Mims may have been gone soon
after this issue appeared.

I guess what I was trying to say is that they are two different shows, and Sunrise Jubilee was the
title of the show that replaced Slim Mims in that time slot (and I believe his show was titled,
unsurprisingly, The Slim Mims Show). If TVG lists it as Sunrise Jubilee, but shows the host as Slim
Mims, something is not right here.

I have the Central Florida edition for the week of
June 24-30, 1972, and it, too, shows Slim Mims
as host of "Sunrise Jubilee." So I'm as confused
as you are.

I might add that in 1973 "Sunrise Jubilee" was
hosted by somebody named Thomey. I think
this is who you remember; I can't be much help,
since I didn't get Ch. 9 (Ch. 10 was my ABC affiliate),
but why TV Guide would give Slim Mims as host if he
had left WFTV is a mystery to me, too.

AFAIK, Slim Mims' show wasn't locally-based in Orlando -- I think he was based somewhere in
the Carolinas(?) and the show was syndicated. Sunrise Jubilee, OTOH, was local, I believe.
Assuming all my recollections are correct (not a safe bet at my age), maybe TVG was just
confused, thinking that the change to Sunrise Jubilee was just a name change for the same show,
rather than a different show, and just appended Mims' name to it, assuming he was involved.

Now you tell me! Slim Mims was at WBTW/13
Florence, SC, for years, so for the first time this
all begins to make sense. I don't know how WFTV
came to carry his show; the two stations were not--
and are not--sister stations

I assumed it was just syndicated like many other similar "regional" shows -- I doubt Florence and
Orlando were the only two markets that had the show.

bp, KET's sign-off at 11:30/10:30 was not unusual by any means. Prior to the 1990s, as we know,
ETV stations were almost universally the last stations to sign on for the day and the first to sign
off at night. I recall Nashville's WDCN (now WNPT) signing off at 10:30 during the 1980s, while
Alabama Public Television hit the hay at 11. And it's a matter of common sense; with far less
money to work than commercial stations, programming schedules had to of necessity be tighter,
focused around the in-school needs, the kids' shows in the late afternoon, and documentaries
and fine arts for adults in the evening. What this amounts to is that PBS didn't have the cash or
the interest to slug it out with Johnny Carson.

Point partially conceded; I guess it looks strange to
me because KERA/13 Dallas often stayed on well past
midnight; Dallas is, of course, in the Central time zone.
But here in the Eastern time zone, as an indication of

how things have changed in nearly 35 years, UNC-TV
stays on 24 hours. Any other PBS stations or statewide
networks do this?

It is worth noting The Paul Dixon Show had just ended a twenty year run on WLW-T. Dixon had
passed away a few months earlier and management decided to end the program than to find
another host.

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati Friday May 13, 1966
"Tammy" at 8 P.M. on ABC was the story of the backwoods girl who had earlier been portrayed in
the movies by Debbie Reynolds and Sandra Dee. The show starred Debbie Watson as "Tammy"
and only lasted this one (1965-66) season. This was Debbie Watson's second TV series. The
season before (1964-65), she starred as "Karen" on NBC. That show was originally one of three
sit-coms in a 90-minute program called "90 Bristol Court". When the other two shows in that
series were cut by NBC during that season, "Karen" remained as a 30-minute program and was
shown for the rest of that season.

I threw in the "not Grimes" because some people confuse
the Debbie Watson "Tammy" (and your description is correct)
with the biggest bomb of the 1966-67 season, "The Tammy
Grimes Show," which aired Thursdays at 8:30 from Sept. 8-29,
1966, and was replaced by "The Dating Game" on Oct. 6.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Monday, May 15, 1978
One would think PBS would be above puns like this... :
9 PM Meeting Of Minds (Steve Allen brings together
historical figures--played by actors--to discuss
various topics.)
Great concept, and one of the best things Steverino ever did. (Even if it did suffer from the
obvious fact that every female historical figure was played by wifey Jayne Meadows.
Nepotism....go fig...) I believe to this day, some schools still use these shows in their history
classes.
2:30 Hal Roach Studio Presents
9 PM Hal Roach Studio Presents
I don't remember this package. Was it primarily the "biggies" (Laurel and Hardy, Our Gang,
Harold Lloyd), or did they also work Chase, Langdon, Todd/Pitts and others into the mix?

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Monday, May 15, 1978
Never saw it, and don't recall any other stations
airing it. If they did throw in some of the people
you mentioned, though, there would certainly be
some lost classics.

Re: Retro: Vancouver/Victoria/Seattle Thurs, Feb 6, 1969
Great memories in those Seattle line-ups. I was 9 years old at the time. The shows on KTNT-11
are a good indication of what was big in syndication 40 years ago. Divorce Court, Patty Duke,

Re: Retro: Raleigh/Durham/Fayetteville Weekdays, July 17-21, 1995
I wonder if the PD at WKFT around this time was a closet Democrat... just look at the shows that
Rush's old TV show served as a lead-in to...

I never understood the day-behind scheduling

of "Bold And The Beautiful" at 1 on WRAL, followed
by "Roseanne" at 1:30, then "As The World Turns"
at 2. I do remember the day "B&B" started airing in
pattern, Ch. 5 aired Friday's episode at 1 and Monday's
at 1:30, and they were back on schedule.
WRAL still airs "Young And The Restless" on a same-day
delay at 4.
Having lived two long stretches in the Triangle (1957-65
and 1990-present), I can tell you that no matter how many
stations there are, as far as the audience is concerned there
are only two: WRAL and WTVD.

Here in Orlando, there used to be an African-American pastor -- well-known and respected guy,
worked with the city on many community projects, lived to be in his 90's. And his name was (no
joke) Rev. Toy Ball.

Re: Retro: New York City Thurs, Feb 17, 1966

For anyone who's wondering (or who cares), "Double
Life" is "The Double Life Of Henry Phyfe," with Red Buttons
in what was essentially a poor ripoff of "Get Smart."

Basically, there were more excellent shows to watch on TWO channels (2 and 7) on this very day
in 1966 than there is on over 130 channels today! That's progress for ya!

From what I could tell, WNEW-TV was the last of the indies to "go color," in this year of 1966.
(WOR-TV was the first, in 1960; WPIX followed in 1965.)
Meanwhile, on WABC-TV, their late afternoon/early evening movie series was still called The Big
Show at this point; it had been at 6 P.M. since Jan. 3, 1966, but it wasn't until the fall (probably
October or so) that it adopted the title The 6 O'Clock Movie - which in its essence anticipated the
eventual titling of The 4:30 Movie after 1969 (though WABC played movies at 4:30 since Jan. 8,
1968).

I think at the time, it was the superstation feed -- Canada didn't see the local version again until
just a couple of years ago.

7:00: The Wizard of Oz (possibly a different version than what was shown on the MITV stations
in the same slot)
MITV (and also CHSJ) aired the Videocraft series from the 60s (and could never quite sync the
soundtrack and video ). They also at one time carried the New Adventures of Pinocchio from the
same company (and which also had the soundtrack screw-ups ;D).
ATV showed a re-dubbed version of the Japanese Oz no Mahousikai (Wonderful Wizard of Oz)
series, produced by Montreal's Cinar (now Cookie Jar) and narrated by Margot Kidder. This series
also aired in movie form on HBO Stateside.

Re: Retro: Maritimes April 24, 1993
A little complicated explaining channel 3: that station is actually CBJR-TV in Rimouski -- which
moved to channel 2 in 1984. TVG never bothered changing the channel when the station
changed theirs -- it remained channel 3 until the Maritimes Edition folded a few years back.
For the record, SRC in Quebec City is actually channel 11, CBVT.

Though CJBRT is a de facto relay of CBVT, but originates a local newscast which is also carried on
CBST Sept-Iles, CBGAT Matane and for the first 30 min by CKRT-TV Riviere-du-Loup (who airs
their own local news at 6:30, following the newscast on sister station CIMT). YouTube has a
"Radio-Canada Quebec" sign-off which lists the tx for CBVT, CBGAT, CJBRT and CBST.
Also a quick note on the Downeaster Jamboree listing for WLBZ...that was produced by
Dartmouth Cable TV (now EastLink) in the Halifax area, this show was also syndied on the Bragg
systems in Nova Scotia and PEI (I used to be a MCO at the Amherst station, and remember
playing this show on the air). ;D

Probably one of those local or regional country-western shows, just like what many stations in
the south and west had in the 1960s and 1970s.

Though there's an hour of news blocking the two, apparently to keep kids away from Rush as far
as possible -- they already have their own "rush" on Saturday mornings: "sugar rush" (from the
cereals).

Local community access program from the Halifax area. My guess would be the producers
(Dartmouth Cable TV) used WLBZ to expand the show's reach beyond the Bragg cable systems in
Nova Scotia.

Even though this was a cable channel out of Edmonton, a lot of the shows listed here I do
remember as many of them did pop up during the day on Harrisonburg, VA's PBS WVPT-TV
channel 51 back in the 70s and 80s when many local Virginia school systems would tape the
shows and air them later to be played in class. All about You is one I remember. Wikipedia says
production was stopped on that show way back in 1974 yet 6 years later that show pops up here
and even as late as 1988 I heard some school systems were still showing All About You. Polka Dot
Door was another I remember.
"Finding Out My own Way" and "Let's Visit"...I seem to remember those shows were also seen
on WVPT during the the day. But I am not sure if what I saw in Virginia was the same as what
was seen in Edmonton. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was.
Though not listed here, around the time of these listings there was a kids gameshow ( again this
aired on WVPT ) called "Contact" ( NO..it wasn't 3-2-1- Contact ).
A game show that teachers would play during English class..and yes we would have a quiz
afterwards. For an educational show many would assume they had a low budget, however that
show looked almost as good as The Price is Right and the other "big time" game shows. Years
later ( 1985 ) when I started to work at our local public library ( my very first job for which I was
making $2.45 per hour ;D ) , my co-worker was none-other than my old English teacher. One day
during break, both her and I were talking about "Contact" and I can remember her telling me
that "Contact" was a show that came out of Edmonton, Canada. I wonder if this "EECC" was the
home station for "Contact". If so, then this cable channel sure had money.

Even though this was a cable channel out of Edmonton...
Didn't Access, the provincial educational network available largely on cable, begin in 1973?
...a lot of the shows listed here I do remember as many of them did pop up during the day on
Harrisonburg, VA's PBS WVPT-TV channel 51 back in the 70s and 80s when many local Virginia
school systems would tape the shows and air them later to be played in class. All about You is
one I remember. Wikipedia says production was stopped on that show way back in 1974 yet 6
years later that show pops up here and even as late as 1988 I heard some school systems were
still showing All About You.
Do any of them still show old shows like this today? I've seen recent schedules of instructional
TV programming for a few school boards, and none of the carried shows like this. "All About
You", which dealt with body parts and health issues for elementary school kids, would probably
turn off kids today -- you know today's kids wouldn't go for it if the host or characters look like
someone from "That 70s Show".

It wouldn't surprise me if there was some rural school district out there someplace that still
shows "All About You". The funny thing about shows like All about You, as dated as that was in
the 80's, remembering some of the movies we watched in class, they were even more dated like
the one safety flick we saw in shop just before graduation. This was in 1986. Kids using dated
phrases like "groovy man" "keep the faith baby", and the scene of a guy cutting himself with a
saw because he was paying more attention listening to PETULA CLARK !!! ..and that guy sure
looked a LOT like Bobby Sherman !! Oh yes there were many guys in my class who looked like Mr.
Easy Come Easy Go...ah no !!! The film was made in 1966. I am not even going to begin with
those old film strips. LOL
Actually I am a little surprised that many schools today still use instructional TV programs since
some of the school districts in my area have since turned to You Tube and the net for educational
programming. Why spend money on such things when you can do your own?
Yes they were, and yes they still are.
I didn't realize that they were available that far back. Did they use satellite in 1980?
The Spokane channels never used satellite until Star Choice came to be, though I read
somewhere that their signals were microwaved into Alberta.

Is there anyone online who can describe KTVT's Slam Bang Theater, Comedy Capers and Dusty's
Treehouse, plus WTCG's (best known as TBS back in the day) Space Giants? Specifically, are there
any Hanna-Barbera connections to any of these programs? I'm thinking Space Ghost, Birdman,
The Herculoids, Jonny Quest, etc.

I noticed KATV airing "Our Gang" and KTHV airing "Little Rascals" at the same time, 3:30PM.
Thats unheard of.

Turner didn't own the Hanna-Barbera library at
the time; "Space Giants" was a live-action Japanese
show (he was big on those, like "Ultraman").
Likewise, "Dusty's Treehouse" was a live-action show
hosted by somebody named Stu Rosen; it was syndicated.
I lived in Dallas/Ft. Worth for three years and never watched
"Slam Bang Theatre" and only about two minutes of "Comedy
Capers." I think the latter show had some of the pre-'48
Warner Brothers cartoons; maybe somebody else who's lived

in the Metroplex can answer that part of the question more
completely.

Kinda like how those two stations in Dallas programmed Popeye at the same hour.
By the way, I wonder why the Dallas stations were carried in this particular publication. Were
these channels carried on cable in Arkansas back then?

They were, which is why they're included here.
It is unusual to see these particular competitive
situations. I do know that with the Popeyes,
KTVT carried the Paramount/Famous Studios ones,
while KXTX carried the circa-early-'60s from King
Features. KXTX also carried the post-'48 Warner
Brothers cartoons not playing on "The Bugs Bunny/
Road Runner Show" on CBS.
And as for the Little Rascals/Our Gang: KATV would
have had the circa-early-'40s from MGM that included
Robert Blake, using his real name, Mickey Gubitosi, while
KTHV would have had the King World-distributed ones,
mainly from the '30s, that prominently feature Spanky,
Alfalfa, Darla, Stymie, and Buckwheat.

In other words, KTHV got the good stuff, and KATV got stuck with the crap... :P
I grew up watching that King World package (the Roach talkies), and never even saw any of the
MGMs until much later. I couldn't believe how bad they were. Like little morality
plays/educational films with some half-hearted humor thrown in almost as an afterthought. And
acting that went beyond bad, beyond broad, beyond chewing the scenery to swallowing and
digesting same. Sad, too, to see Spanky in some of those, now something like 13 or 14 and twice
the size (but still wearing that little beanie cap), and obviously just going through the motions
with no heart left in his performances at all.

I have to agree. Watching Spanky in those
'40s "Our Gang"s is like watching Jerry Mathers
in the last two seasons of "Leave It To Beaver"--
a fat, clunky kid whose natural acting ability has
dried up.

But at least the later seasons of Beaver had the "scary Revue tag"
at the end!
Speaking of--and as good a place as any to do what we do best, that is,
sidetrack a thread--it's been established that Gomalco Productions (the
earlier seasons of Beav) was part George Gobel ("Go"). But who was "mal"?
And in the later seasons, was there a "Kay" and a "ro" that made up Kayro
Productions? Wives or kids of creators/producers Connelly and Mosher?

kids of creators/producers Connelly and Mosher?
Don't forget that by the time Mr. Connelly and Mr. Mosher mounted The Munsters in 1964,
Revue had become Universal TV - and Kayro Productions became Kayro-Vue. Evidently the "Vue"
was a reference to the old Revue.
Gomalco Productions, however, was owned by comedian George Gobel (as you noted) and his
agent David O'Malley (Gomalco = Gobel-O'Malley Company). (Leave It to Beaver, in its early
years, was co-owned by Connelly/Mosher, Gobel and O'Malley.) Gomalco was also the producer
of Mr. Gobel's 1950's variety show. It was all tied in to MCA, which represented Mr. Gobel as well
as many of Beaver's writers. Gobel made millions off the repeats of Beaver. As for the ultimate
Kayro (later Kayro-Vue), that company was initially named after Connelly and Mosher's
respective wives (Kathryn [a.k.a. Kay] and Rose).
There's another question, though: What in the world did Sto-Rev Company (the production firm
set up to produce McHale's Navy, which also sprung from Revue/Universal) signify?
I have no idea what "Sto-Rev" stood for, unless
the "Rev" stood for "Revue."
But re Kayro, Connelly and Mosher produced the
1961-62 animated show "Calvin And The Colonel"
under the Kayro banner. They had been writers
on "Amos 'n' Andy" before creating "Beaver"; those
of us with long memories know that Calvin and the
Colonel were a bear and a fox, a thinly-disguised
Andy and the Kingfish. I remember that the show
wasn't all that terrible, but I think the "Amos 'n'
Andy" connection probably kept it out of syndication
and/or network Saturday-morning reruns. (The ratings
weren't all that great; it was pulled almost immediately
from its original Tuesday 8:30 slot, then resurfaced in
January 1962 on Saturdays at 7:30 to play out its run.)
I keep thinking "The Munsters" was also a Kayro production.

I keep thinking "The Munsters" was also a Kayro production.
Actually, as I said, by the time The Munsters came on the air, it was Kayro-Vue.

I apologize for overlooking that; you did say it.
I forgot to mention that when "Calvin And The
Colonel" aired on Saturdays, it was on an hour
before "Beaver" (8:30 ET), giving Connelly and
Mosher half of a two-hour kid-oriented block that,
in hindsight, seems like a precursor of TGIF:

By the way, I wonder why the Dallas stations were carried in this particular publication. Were
these channels carried on cable in Arkansas back then?
As BPatrick noted, they were. Most cable systems in Arkansas, save for the eastern part (near
Memphis) carried 'em. I lived in Arkansas from 1982-1990 ... Hot Springs, Jonesboro, N. Little
Rock and finally Pine Bluff. All except Jonesboro had both KXTX-39 (which at the time was owned
by Pat Robertson) and KTVT-11. Hot Springs, in fact, also carried the DFW ABC affil WFAA-8
overnights when they used to show movies.
KTVT's carriage in Arkansas was dealt a death blow in July 1983 when Little Rock's first indie
KLRT channel 16 signed on. Most of the CATV systems dropped KTVT and replaced it with KLRT.
KXTX, meanwhile, survived. The Arkansas Edition TVGs had 'em as white bullets - "11D" and
"39D"

And there's no chance of KTVT getting back on cable,
since it's now a CBS o&o; KTHV, for one, could block
it. And since KXTX is a Spanish-language channel, is
it still on Arkansas cable systems?

NOTE: Gemini IX was scheduled to lift off

the air between 9 and 10 AM for the Atlas-
boosted target-vehicle liftoff (10 AM) and
the Gemini IX liftoff (11:40 AM), then return
between 3 and 4 PM for the rendezvous and
docking attempt (3:40 PM). Schedules below
are as listed in TV Guide.
As it turned out, the ATDA (Augmented Target Docking Adapter), which was a hastily thrown-
together substitute for the original Agena Target Vehicle (which had been launched on May 17,
but failed to make orbit due to a malfunction of the Atlas booster) was actually launched June 1,
with Gemini supposed to follow shortly thereafter, but a computer problem scrubbed the
manned launch. Gemini IX was finally launched June 3 and rendezvoused with the ATDA, only to
find that its protective shroud had failed to separate, remaining attached in a partially-open
configuration that astronaut Tom Stafford famously described as looking "like an angry alligator."
The crew did make several rendezvous and stationkeeping approaches for practice, but were
obviously unable to dock as planned. The remainder of the mission went forward as planned,
including several experiments and an EVA (which ended up quite nonproductive as astronaut
Gene Cernan's faceplate fogged over due to physical overexertion, his heartbeat at one point
rising to 195, leading mission doctors to call off the remainder of the EVA).

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati Saturday, May 30, 1964
This was also the day that the 1964 Indianapolis 500 was held. You'll note no coverage of it was
on regular TV. In the first laps of the race, an accident took place that wound up killing drivers
Eddie Sachs and Dave MacDonald. In the aftermath of the crash, the race was delayed for a long
period of time.

1:30 Nick Clooney
Nick Clooney on a station that wasn't in Cincinatti? Wikipedia says he had started his TV days in
Lexington as a news anchor. Wonder what kind of show this was?
1:30 Pastor's Study
American Bandstand and a religious show back to back...weren't there a few markets in those
days where some preacher's had requested not to have their shows be placed next to American
Bandstand? I seem to remember hearing a radio interview with Dick Clark a long time ago where
he had mentioned it. I know back in the late 70's when Baltimore's WBFF-TV 45 aired some
syndicated dance show for a brief time on Sunday nights ( Soap Factory Disco ? ), I think it was
Rex Humbard or maybe it was Ernest Angley who had requested a different time slot because
they didn't want their program to air next to one of those "dance shows".

Since this was Christmas, I noticed specials
at 12:30 on Chs. 5 and 23. "Treasure Isle"
aired on ABC at that time; did either or both
channels normally carry it?

Just a guess here, as I have no listing for that week beyond the 25th...WEWS normally had (at
least, as of late November 1967) The Noon Show with Captain Penny (12:20-1PM)..It would
seem that 23 carried most if not all of the daytime ABC Network shows in pattern..So they may
have just pre-empted Treasure Isle that day..

>>Aside from being Christmas Day, This was the Debut of John Hambrick at WEWS-TV 5 as 7 and

Isn't it strange to debut a new anchor on Christmas? Maybe they figured a slower news day &
less audience would be easier on him.
I thought it was odd too, but Channel 5 carried a full-page ad for "John Hambrick and The News"
on the Monday Night listing pages..While channels 3 and 8 generally ran full page ads every
week in TV Guide, 5 was rather hit-and-miss in its advertising..Here, they ran the full-page ad,
plus several Bottom-page ads pushing Hambrick's Debut..and continued the smaller ads into the
first part of 1968..
Here is a blog I wrote in January 2008 about that time..Hambrick himself has said in interviews
that he started at WEWS in 1967..
http://clevelandclassicmedia.blogspo...-december.html
Well then maybe they just wanted to break him in during holiday week. Kind of break him in
gently.
At the age of 27, he was considered a veteran news anchor? ???

I don't think so.

I think this was the era when CBS and ABC gave sunday nights at 10:30 to the affliates -- that
lasted only a year or two -- but note the CBS news running at 10:30??? What's up with that?
This was most likely their late-night newscast, which would later be fed at 11PM and seen on
most affiliates after their late newscasts.

I find it interesting that the Indianapolis 500 was shown on tape delay at 3:30 p.m. on CJOH-13
while it was shown on tape delay at 8:30 p.m. on ABC affilates.
It was my understanding that ABC didn't have live coverage of the Indianapolis 500 back then so
it could edit out any horiffic crashes that may occur during the race.
Were other major car races such as the Daytona 500 shown on tape delay by the networks back
then due to the same concerns that ABC had about showing live auto racing?

I gotta wonder why the Central N. Y. TV Guide edition would list a Binghamton and the Buffalo
stations but not WKTV & WUTR-TV in Utica. As I remember, the Central N. Y. edition was mainly
Syracuse and Utica stations in black and the rest in white.

During the four seasons (71-72 through 73-74) when CBS ended prime at 10:30 ET,
I can't tell you whether or not the CBS Sunday Night News was fed in each quarter
hour from 10:30-11:30, however in seasons prior to and after these when prime ran
until 11, the newscast was fed at 11 and 11:15.

I believe Daytona was on tape delay also.

TV Guide had a "Southern Tier" Edition that listed Binghamton & Elmira/Corning. No one in

Yonkers was always completely screwed up.
I'm actually from Eastern Canada . I just posted what the edition listed...my guess is that the
Buffalo channels must have been on cable in parts of the edition area. I've also seen Buffalo
stations listed in the Rochester edition too.

were watchable (although 9 in Syracuse was a tough catch on the antenna because it was
squeezed between Rochester's 8 and 10). Most of the time, our stores stocked the Western NY
edition but it was not unusual to get the Central NY edition instead. Obviously, the distribution
boundary must have been close to my home. Cable didn't arrive in a big way in the Rochester
suburbs until 1976 and offered the 3 Buffalo VHFs and only 1 Syracuse VHF (channel 3).

I suppose the Bingo & Buffalo signals could have been carried by some cable company or other
within Central NY which would account for them being in that book, because as I said before, no
one in Upstate would ever consider Buffalo or Binghamton to be part of "Central" NY>

At the time of these listings exactly how far south ( in Pennsylvania ) did these stations ( Buffalo,
Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton ) reached?
I can remember seeing TV listings from the 70s in some of the smaller Pennsylvania newspapers
like Breezewood ( between Altoona & Harrisburg ) and oddly they had listings in the paper for
Buffalo's WKBW ( I dont see how WKBW-TV was able to reach that far south..not far from the
Maryland state line ).
One of my dad's friends back in the 70's owned land in Gibson, PA ( between Binghamton and
Scranton ) and I can remember him telling me how TV signals were "better then than they are
today", going on to tell me at one time in the 70s until the early 80s, he was able to pick up NYC,
Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton, Harrisburg-Lancaster and Wilkes Barre-Scranton stations right
there in Gibson. Again like WKBW-TV "in" Breezewood, I don't see how this was possible either.
Last time I was in Gibson ( 2004 ) I was lucky just to pick up Binghamton's WBNG-TV and nothing
from Scranton or Wilkes Barre..much less Rochester.

Actually depending where you are located in Gibson you're sitting up on top of the world. WBNG
(Actually WNBF-TV 50's, 60's early 70's) was very powerful and I've often said you could pick it
up on a toaster, and was easily watchable off the air in a lot of places just over the NY/PA border.
There are certain spots in that area you are talking about where certain NYC & Philly VHF's could
be picked up with a good outside antenna. Back in the 70's when cable was coming around and
all the various cable-only offerings of today didn't yet exist, cable companies brought in stations
from outside their area, so it wasn't unlikely to see stations from Buffalo listed somewhere down
in PA, or some Baltimore station or a few NYC or Philly independents across any number of
states. Back then seemed like it was real "uptown" if you had a cable system that brought in
WNEW or WOR.

I don't know if it still is, but until at least 2002 WKBW/7 from Buffalo was available on Corning
cable -- likely grandfathered in from before ABC affiliate WENY/Elmira went on the air. Buffalo's
media reach used to be quite pronounced -- in the late 40s, it was market #14.
And I wish I could remember the website where I read this -- but in about 1950, the Johnstown,
PA station was allegedly getting video relayed from WBEN/4 in Buffalo! I wonder if they picked it
up off-air...
And keep in mind, back then the CNY edition of TV Guide probably listed Buffalo because the
western portion of CNY -- around Canandaigua -- could receive Buffalo TV signals. I know
someone who grew up in Steuben County, and in the 50s the only TV they got was from Buffalo
(without cable).

A couple of the Buffalo stations had a pretty deep reach into northern Pennsylvania by virtue of
very tall antennas located in the Boston Hills south of town--both channel 4 and channel 7 were
running 100 kW ERP from antennas 1200 feet above average terrain (4) or as high as 1400 feet
AAT (7). Those signals came in almost like locals as far north as Toronto, and south deep into the
Southern Tier. 7 could be picked up, though fuzzily, even in the center of Rochester with a rabbit
ears--all you had to do is turn the antenna on top of your set to the side, to screen out the local
signal on channel 8 from Pinnacle Hill.
Growing up in Rochester in the 60s, I remember in addition to the locals, picking up 2 and 4 from
Buffalo and 3 and 5 from Syracuse with just rabbit ears (remember those old Rembrandt rabbit
ears- I don't think they ever got any better!).
I also remember in about 1964, because of multipath problems where we lived, my father put up
a rooftop antenna with a remote rotor... all three Buffalo stations came in like locals (especially 7
with the rotor dialed in to "w"), and 3 and 5 in Syracuse came in just as well (although 9, because
of local signals at 8 and 10 didn't have a chance).
I also remember late at night (after the parents went to bed- I was very young then) being
thrilled at picking up Canadian signals at 6 and 12 that were watchable- did all right with it until I
fell asleep on the couch one night and got "busted"- and that was the end of that!
Retro: Denver Friday, November 22, 1963
I hope to try to clear up some of the confusion
about Mountain and Pacific schedules the day
JFK was killed. Here's what was scheduled in
Denver that day (sorry, I don't have access to
Phoenix or Salt Lake City schedules but I suspect
these are pretty typical). I'll put Los Angeles network
stations on another posting, so you can get an idea
of what the Pacific stations had planned.
These are from the Denver Post.

...hmmm...anyone know if this would have been from a CBS network feed, either in-pattern or
tape delayed, or from a bicycled video originating from WBBM-TV/2 Chicago?...

Undoubtedly a tape delay; the show aired on
CBS at 4:30 (ET).

A curiousity...why different prime-time programming on the same day on the CBS affiliates in
Denver and L.A.?
It also appears that prime-time started at 6 or 6:30 in the mountain time zone. Perhaps they
were taking the east coast feed?

What a find! Thanks, bpatrick. Confirms that the ABC and NBC affils
were in local time from 11:30-12:30 or 11-12 MT, and all three daytime
schedules were, for the most part, aired live net from New York.
KBTV (KUSA) Ch. 9 (ABC)
7:30 Burke's Law
While 4 and 7 had somewhat "torched" prime time schedules, with a combo
of local movie, syndication, and network shows delayed from another night,
the above channel 9 sked is rather interesting, since it's all "in pattern."
The 1964 yearbook shows KBTV with two VTRs (KLZ also two and KOA with
three), so that should be a pretty good indicator of how many they had to
work with in November 1963.
It would be a given that 9-10pm was a one-hour tape delay from the network
(live boxing/bowling), but with two tape machines you can't delay all 3.5 hours
of prime time an hour, much less record a backup. As KTVK Phoenix did in that
era, KBTV must have aired 16mm film prints shipped to them by ABC. As KTVK
ran the shows same night, I have to assume KBTV had the same arrangement,
especially since at the time Denver was a larger TV market than Phoenix.
I can't say for sure how KBTV was able to record a backup of their one-hour
delay of the 8-9 network hour with only two VTRs, since you need to do the
primary record on two reels. A guesstimate--VTR1 records 8-8:54 while VTR2
the entire hour 8-8:59. You take the risk of no record backup for the last :05
or so of the hour.
Then there is what may have occurred during the summer after Colorado started
observing DST in 1965, coupled with the one-hour delayed feed for standard time
areas that the nets had through 1966...but that's for another thread sometime!
I've mentioned this before, but if anyone knows a real "old timer" master control
or VTR operator from the Denver affils in the 1960s, alert him to this board!

El Lay got the left coast feed 7:30-11 PT which was a mirror of the New York feed
three hours earlier. Same thing for the rest of the Pacific time zone.
All Mountain zone stations received the New York origination--if they were on the
Telco circuit. Some smaller markets had a microwave link from, or an off-air pickup
of, a larger MT market. In the 1960s, there may still have even been one or two
that weren't interconnected to anything and had to have 16mm films, kinnies, and
perhaps--on rare occasions--video tapes shipped to them.
From the limited MT 1960s postings we've had on R-I, prime time on most Mountain
zone stations was 6:30-10 on weeknights. Weekends varied.

Thanks for the detailed answer. Sounds like if you were a viewer in Denver during this era you
really depended on the tv listings!

KOA (KCNC) Ch. 4 (NBC)
1:30 Communications Satellite: first trans-
Pacific program sent via Relay to Japan
with JFK, NASA head James Webb, and
the Japanese ambassador (whose name I
can't read)
No doubt JFK's bit would've originated from Dallas.
Of course, I wonder if they used this program to break the news of JFK's death to Japan, if the
satellite was activated at all that day.

Kennedy has pretaped his remarks commencing the service from the White House Rose Garden
a few days before he had left for Texas. It's ironic that the host for the recorded dedication
program was Frank McGee of NBC, as the satelite was a RCA product. Of course, at the time the
special was supposed to air, McGee was live on NBC reporting the President's death. Some years
ago, MSNBC's Time and Again ran segments from the never aired program as part of a
retrospective documenting the last week of JFK's life.

Yes, I have a copy of the wall to wall coverage that NBC provided on 11/22/63. Frank was indeed
the man to announce his death on NBC. They had numerous technical problems getting audio on
the air from Dallas. That, probably more than anything, helped speed up the technology to cover
live, breaking news. So, perhaps, in an odd way, Kennedy's assasination changed television news.

And as I mentioned on the Dallas thread for this
same day, CBS constructed a "hot" studio with
a camera ready to go, so that the anchor could
be put on the air immediately; remember that it
took about ten minutes from Cronkite's first report
interrupting "ATWT" until his face was shown on-camera.
Re weekend schedules in the Mountain time zone:
I have posted Denver schedules from 1967 some time
ago. Normally Channel 9 ran everything in pattern

from 6:30-10 ("The Invaders" was delayed on Tuesdays
from 7:30 until after the 10 PM news), but on the weekends
it followed the East Coast thusly:
SATURDAY
5:30 (7:30 ET) Dating Game
6 PM (8 ET) Newlywed Game
6:30 (8:30 ET) Lawrence Welk
7:30 (9:30 ET) Piccadilly Palace (summer replacement
for "The Hollywood Palace"
IIRC, "ABC Scope" (10:30 ET/8:30 MT) was delayed until
Sunday afternoon.
SUNDAY
5 PM (7 ET) Voyage To The Bottom Of
The Sea
6 PM (8 ET) The FBI
7 PM (9 ET) The ABC Sunday Night Movie
I seem to recall Chs. 4 and 7 running their respective
networks pretty much in-pattern, on the East Coast
feed, except that "It's About Time" (7:30 ET/5:30 MT
on CBS) did not air in pattern in Denver.

And as I mentioned on the Dallas thread for this
same day, CBS constructed a "hot" studio with
a camera ready to go, so that the anchor could
be put on the air immediately; remember that it
took about ten minutes from Cronkite's first report
interrupting "ATWT" until his face was shown on-camera.
Actually 20 minutes -- the first bulletin interrupted ATWT at about 1:40, and they went live with
video right after the brief station break at 2:00.
Related: if you look at NBC's coverage, the first time they switch to David Brinkley in Washington,
the picture is rather lacking in contrast, kind of washed-out looking. I've always figured that the
cameras in that studio weren't quite warmed up as much as they should have been, but they
didn't want to wait any longer to get reaction in the capital. By the second switch to Brinkley, the
video looks fine.
I have to assume KBTV had the same arrangement,
especially since at the time Denver was a larger TV market than Phoenix.
True Phoenix today is a bigger market than Denver. Interesting it wasn't that long ago where I
read on another site ( radio-insight? ) where someone had predicted that by 2012....Salt Lake
City, Albuquerque, Las Vegas and Tuscon will all be bigger TV markets than Denver and Colorado
Springs will be "within ballpark". Should be interesting to see how that "prediciton" will pan out.
If you look at the hard numbers, Salt Lake, Alburquerque, Vegas, and Tucson have a ways to go to
catch up to Denver. Salt Lake is growing fast, Vegas has slowed down. Salt Lake may catch up, but
it will take atleast a decade or two...

It was probably Colts-Steelers or Raiders-Patriots. Colts-Raiders was 1977

I'm going to reimagine the Boston commercial stations using today's standards: 4 is CBS and
owns 38; 7 is ABC and owns 56, which is NBC; and 5 is independent because ABC wouldn't
accept being snubbed by prime-time specials and sports.
But first: the AFC game in question is Pats/Raiders, a game decided on a BS penalty against the
Pats (Roger Staubach though that the Pats should have beaten the eventual Super Bowl
champs), and it was the late game.

CHCT (later CFAC) and CFCN were criticized in the mid-1970s for airing only half-hour supper-
hour newscasts, and of course they were the only local stations in Calgary. When CBRT signed on
in 1975 they brought a one-hour newscast to the market for the first time, and for quite a few
years CBRT had the only one-hour newscast there, while CFAC moved its newscast to 10 PM. I
think it was the mid-80s before CFCN expanded to a full hour, and years later before CFAC (later
CICT) added news at the supper-hour.
Was CBUT not listed? Parts of SE British Columbia got CBUT on repeaters fairly early on I think,
although maybe not in 1967.

from TV Guide, Alberta/Eastern British Columbia edition
Great Falls stations listed MST, Spokane stations listed PDT
Were the Great Falls stations listed in MST for the convenience of adjacent
areas in AB/BC which may not have been on daylight time?
My handy-dandy historic time zone reference (where Doris gets her oats )
shows Montana as being on MDT in summer 1967.
What I don't have is a historical reference for Canadian zones and DST in '67.
At any rate, the air times for "live net feed" shows on KRTV ch. 3 Great Falls
are accurate for the east coast feed in the MST zone--NBC baseball at 11am,
prime time starting at 4:30pm.
As I go through the rest of the week, you'll notice minor changes with regards to weekly or
special programming.

And now, some notes...
1: I think that at some point, NBC was getting (or starting to get) fed up with Detroit's pre-
empting network programming in favor of Tigers baseball coverage. For many years, NBC has
been very strict on their non-O&Os regarding nationally-televised programming. For a recent
incident, you only have to think about WHDH's original decision to pre-empt Leno's forthcoming
prime time show in favor of a 10:00 PM newscast. That didn't sit well with the network and the
station did give in and will be carrying the show after all. (And Leno is from Massachusetts.)
2: I find it odd that in a market like Bangor, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! aren't on the same
station (however, they are, as far as I know, by contract NOT allowed to compete against each
other, much like Oprah and Dr. Phil today).

Believe it or not, another city where "Wheel" and "Jeopardy" aired on different stations... New
York! For a long time, mostly in the 80's, "Jeopardy" would air on WABC/7 at 7 PM, "Wheel" at
7:30 PM on WCBS/2. Today, both shows air in their same time slots, both on WABC/7. I don't
recall what led up to WCBS/2 no longer airing the show, though... contract, maybe?
All I know is, Bangor, Maine must be a weird market. And WLBZ is an odd station. Not only do
their air all of their soaps in the morning, but it looks like they were one of the very, very few
"Big Three" affiliates to air "Perfect Strangers" reruns. Why any station would want to air that
show, is beyond me.

Re: Retro: Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, December 11, 1971
Wow, that's interesting they actually listed the episode numbers for Sesame Street and The
Electric Company. I'm assuming that the 1:30 airing was episode 295, and that the first two
Electric Company episodes were 31 and 32, and that the last one was 35.

The last time I was in the U.P. I could only get two channels with a roof aerial.
(not recently, but long after 1971). One station from Marquette was juggling 3 networks, the
other was PBS.

...as I recall, there was a stretch in the mid-'90s when WLUC/6 Marquette was juggling CBS, NBC
and Fox...
Retro: WJM-TV 12, Minneapolis-St. Paul line-up for 10/4/72 ( yes from MTM )
Yes I know there never was a WJM-TV in the Twin Cities and this line-up is pure fiction but I did
get this from the episode "Who's In Charge Here?" from the Mary Tyler Moore show which aired
on 9/30/72. In this episode Lou Grant takes control of WJM's programming and in a number of
scenes they showed thanks to a board behind his desk the line-up at WJM. Thanks to my pause
button..I did get the Wednesday WJM line-up Sadly I didn't get what WJM had "aired" before
9am since Ed Asner/Lou Grant's head was in the way...LOL

Re: Retro: WJM-TV 12, Minneapolis-St. Paul line-up for 10/4/72 ( yes from MTM )
Strongly implies that WJM-TV was an indie -- there's not a hint of anything on there that looks
like it might have come from even a fictitious network. Movies morning and Noon, old reruns
mid-day, just local news, a movie instead of a talk show at 10:30, etc. I haven't seen the show in
ages -- were they supposed to be an indie or affiliated with some network?

As far as I know, it was never implied on the show that they were affiliated with a network.
Looking at the above schedule WJM's schedule was heavy with presumably-local programming,
with the only syndicated shows being Gilligan, My Mother the Car, movies, the cartoons on
Chuckles the Clown's show, and, I assume, the fictitious "Coast to Coast".

Actually, the fictitious WGM looks eerily close to the programming at RKO General's KHJ-TV9 in
Los Angeles about the same time. Old movies, followed by more old movies. Add a daily dance
party show (RKO also owned Boss Radio KHJ) some F-Troop reruns, and subtract the
news...Channel 9 did not do news....though at one point, they did try 3 hours a day of Tempo -
essentially a radio call-in talk program with a camera pointed at it.
Wait a damn minute! I don't see Sue Ann Nivens on the WGM schedule...
Wait a damn minute! I don't see Sue Ann Nivens on the WGM schedule...
Sue Ann Nivens did not join the WJM staff until the following year, presumably replacing Chef
Leroy and/or Homemaking with Mimi.
Ah - that explains it. How could I have been so stupid?

I believe this was the day Mr. Fee-Fi-Fo first appeared with Chuckles.
&!#$% Rogue Elephant!
"My Mother The Car"???? The show only lasted one season, yet WJM "aired" the reruns daily?
Either that or it must've had a longer run in the "MTM" fictional universe.
Well, Allan Burns, one of the co-creators of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, was also one of the co-
creators (with Chris Hayward) of "My Mother The Car", hence its inclusion on WJM's schedule.
Actually, not so unusual in the real world. I compared WGM to LA's KHJ-TV at the top of this
thread. Los Angeles had 4 independent TV stations, and a LOT of air-time to fill up in the 1960s
and 70s...remember, this was before infomercials, and their were only a few syndicated games
shows and court show. Many stations ran 3 or 4 movies a day, but that still left a lot of air time
on a 6AM to Midnight schedule.
Reruns of two season sitcoms was certainly not uncommon on KHJ-TV, and the equally low-rent
KCOP 13.. I don't remember My Mother the Car, but I remember Topper, Amos and Andy, and F
Troop among others. KCOP ran The Munsters 5 days a week for years, repeating those 72 shows
every two and half months, or so.

My Mother the Car ran for a brief time in the New York City market in 1967-68 on WNEW-TV
Channel 5 (now WNYW). Stranger things have happened.
As for Gilligan's Island, it had shots on all three New York indies: first WOR-TV Channel 9 (now
WWOR), then WPIX Channel 11 and finally WNEW-TV. (So did Get Smart, and with the same
station trajectory, but that's another tangent - unless you consider that in its final years, MMTC
co-creator Chris Hayward was story consultant on GS).

...when Groucho Marx visited the prime-time version of Cavett's show the following summer, he
complained that ABC was running it at 4:30 in the morning. Just Groucho being Groucho, or did
KABC actually try a 24-hour schedule and stick a second run of Cavett in at 4:30 the following
morning?...

Sounds like typical Groucho. Ch. 7 signed off
at 1 AM, following Joey Bishop, in 1969.
For those who don't remember, Cavett's prime-
time show aired Monday, Tuesday, and Friday
at 10 PM (ET/PT).
Groucho had a zinger for Mike Douglas on another
occasion. Mike had mentioned that it had taken
a long time to get Groucho on his show. "What's
the matter? Don't you like Philadelphia?" Mike asked.
Groucho's comeback: "I don't like you. I love
Philadelphia."

At one point, four of the five NBC O&O's aired The Mike Douglas Show. The only exception was
in New York, where only three months prior to RFK's assassination the CBS O&O, WCBS-TV,
spirited Mr. Douglas' weekday kaffeeklatsch away from WOR-TV, sacrificing The Early Show in the
process - WNBC never even touched TMDS. (Although by the mid-'70's, in L.A., Douglas went
from KNBC to CBS-owned KNXT.)
Oh and by the way, it was Mr. Benti on CBS who broke the news about the RFK shooting.
And as for the ABC evening news: Prior anchor Bob Young by this time was about to join (if he
hadn't joined already) WCBS-TV to anchor its 11 P.M. newscast, where he remained until early
1971.

Re: Retro: Los Angeles VHFs 7 AM-6 PM Thursday, June 5, 1969
In those days KABC's late afternoon/early evening movie show was called The 6 O'Clock Movie,
I.I.N.M. (A title also used from late 1966 to Jan. 5, 1968 by WABC-TV in New York prior to moving
the series to 4:30, as well as by KGO-TV in San Francisco.) Given that there were no movies aired
on KABC in late afternoons as of the JFK assassination, I was curious as to when the L.A. ABC
O&O began putting on its Big Show.
Meanwhile, as to Bill Bonds - this was one of his two sojourns away from his usual base of WXYZ-
TV in Detroit. (The other was in 1975-76 when he was on WABC-TV in New York.)
And Popeye: There were the 1933-57 theatrical cartoons and then there were the 1960-62
made-for-TV shorts. I presume KTTV aired the latter and KHJ/KCAL the former by this point.

OK. I'll bite...who or what was this special about? I know of Dipsy Doodles, the snack food (does
Wise even make those anymore?) and Googling shows that it's also the title of an old song.
(Done by Dorsey, Fitzgerald, Haley, others over the years.) I doubt they devoted an hour of air
time to a snack food, but I can't imagine a whole hour on a single obscure song, either. Whatsit?
According to TVG, this was a combo of animation and live action with Dipsy as the animated
host, assisted by 7 young people called Doodlers. It was listed as "a musical potpourri fused with
Americana". Among the highlights:
* history of Yankee Doodle (supposedly one of Dipsy's ancestors)
* a space shuttle adventure
* a rock opera based on The Little Red Hen
* a story on the prairie legend of Windwagon Smith
Don't know much more about this, not a lot out there on the Web on this show...did this air on
WNEW only or was it syndied?

Should be "The Carol Burnett Show", as the "...and Friends" rerun series did not begin until
1977.

Sounds more like something that should have aired a couple years later (for the Bicentennial).
Among the highlights:
* a space shuttle adventure
Interesting, as the Shuttle was only in the development/design stages in 1974. Apollo wasn't
quite dead yet -- the last crew left Skylab 3-4 months earlier (and there had been talk of one last
short-duration mission to tie up loose ends and boost the station into a higher orbit to preserve
it until the Shuttle flew -- it didn't happen and Skylab rained over Australia in 1979, 2 years
before the first shuttle flight) and Apollo-Soyuz was yet to come in 1975. If they were really
talking about the capital-S Shuttle (as opposed to some generic thing), I wouldn't doubt that
NASA had a hand in preparing the segment to stir up interest.
* a rock opera based on The Little Red Hen

Lee Webb came from nowhere to replace Don Gillis as lead sports anchor when Gillis retired
from sports anchoring back in 1983. Webb lasted a couple of non-memorable years and then
weekend sports anchor Mike Lynch took over as lead sports anchor and is still there today.
Lynchie is the only one left of that foursome following Dick Albert's retirement earlier this year;
Natalie's retirement a couple of years ago; and Chet Curtis heading to New England Cable News
a few years back.
I believe Webb works for some religious cable network.
After retiring from sports anchoring, Gillis continued to host WCVB's Candlepin Bowling until
1996. He passed away last year:

Was WBZ's "People are Talking" a local show for Boston or did they simply air the Group W/WJZ
Baltimore version with Richard Sher and Oprah Winfrey?
I believe for a very very brief time in the early 80s under Sher/Winfrey the Baltimore "People are
Talking" was actually syndicated to a handful of markets. Acutally one could count the number of
markets that did carry the show on one hand and still have a few fingers left.
I am pretty sure Salisbury, MD's WMDT channel 47 aired People are Talking and I would like to
say some station in central Pennsylvania ( Harrisburg? ) had aired it as well and over the years I
have heard of a third but I have not a clue as to who that third was.

I always thought each Group W station ran their own version, along the same lines as Evening
(PM) Magazine.
Sometime after becoming WWOR, that superstation also had their own "People Are Talking" for
a year or two -- this would later become "9 Broadcast Plaza" (after its address). WWOR
apparently picked up the PAT franchise (and Evening Magazine, under that name), in anticipation
for RKO's sale to Group W that was never realised (it went to MCA instead, which debuted those
programs after getting the station).

WBZ's version was it's own and was hosted at various times by various people including Tom
Bergeron who has since gone on to fame and fortune as host of various shows including
Hollywood Squares, America's Funniest Videos and, of course, that Dancing show.
WBZ aired PAT from 1980-1993. Tom hosted from about 1987 until it's cancellation.

I could be wrong about this but I don't think Pittsburgh's KDKA-TV did their own "People are
Talking" but KDKA did have "Pittsburgh 2day" which from the few times I can remember seeing it
was about the same thing anyway.
Around the same time as Baltimore's WJZ did "People are Talking" with Sher & Winfrey, WMAR
channel 2 somewhat tried to copy it with "2's Company" hosted by Bruce Elliott ( it didnt last ). I
would like to say WBAL did something similar as well but I just don't remember it.
Meanwhile down in DC...WTTG had Maury Povich with Panarama, WRC had Charlie Rose and
WDVM (WUSA) had Morning Break with Carol Randolf. WJLA had "Good Morning Washington",
forgot who the host was for that but that was the show were Happy Days Anson Williams had let
it slipped that he was "sick of being Potsie and Happy Days". Come to think of it I am pretty sure
at the time ( early 80s ) WDCA still had the great Petey Greene on their airwaves.
No shortage of local TV talk in the DC/Baltimore region back then.

Days".
Of course, by then, the feeling was mutual -- we, the viewers, were sick of watching Potsie and
Happy Days. :

Re: Retro: Maritimes (Grid Listings April 24-30, 1993)
And with that posting, I now go back into the research cave to see if I can dig up any additional
print TV listings from anywhere in the world. (This may take a while.)

Re: Retro: Maritimes (Grid Listings April 24-30, 1993)
8:00 P.M.: Runaway...
8:30 P.M.: Freight Train
While "Runaway Freight Train" would make a good special, I think the 8PM (6PM CT) program
was "Runaway with the Rick and Famous"; the at 8:30PM was "It Sounded Like a Freight Train", a
WGN News special about tornadoes.
Note: WGN by this point would be either the Superstation feed (now called WGN America) or
the local feed carried in the city of Chicago on Channel 9.
I think this was the superstation feed, as the prime-time schedule included "The Jeffersons",
which replaced one of the "local" WGN shows (either "The Golden Girls", "Cheers" or "Married
with Children"). Canadians won't get the local signal again until the mid-2000s.

Let's not forget SCTV's brilliant mashup "The Merv Griffith Show" with all the denizens of
Mayberry, but Merv as the good Sheriff.

I've often wondered how many people get Andy
Williams mixed up with Andy Griffith, and Andy
Griffith with Merv Griffin. The SCTV sketch suggests
plenty.

bp, I've got a correction for you on WSM-TV at 12 Noon. Channel 4 aired The Noon Show, hosted
by Teddy Bart for one hour; this was a typical mid-day variety show for its day, with a live big-
band-like orchestra. This show had been a Nashville institution since the 1950s, when recently-
deceased station fixture Jud Collins hosted. By this point, though, Teddy Bart, who went on to
become a morning-drive radio talk-show host from the 1980s onward and also worked for WSM-
AM at the time, hosted, along with a succession of female co-hostesses (I remember in particular
Elaine Ganick). WSM/V kept the title until about 1981-82, when Bart left for ABC affil WNGE
(now WKRN) and the station moved the show to mid-morning, rechristening it Channel Four
Magazine; the music was dropped at that time also.
It is curious to compare WSM's demographic strategy with that of CBS affil WLAC. The latter
station ran a 25-minute Southern Gospel music show at Noon, a program that may well have
been brokered. WLAC was trying to counterprogram against WSM's intended audience: 1)
residents of metropolitan Nashville (city and suburbs); 2) educated housewives; and 3) those
with moderate-to-high incomes by appealing to their opposites: 1) residents of rural and small-
town middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky, where the "old-time religion" reigned and
gospel music was deeply rooted in the culture; 2) the elderly; and 3) those with relatively less
purchasing power or appeal to mainstream advertisers. This dynamic could probably be found in
numerous other Southern markets, but we have here something of a polarization reminiscent of
our present "red state"-"blue state" acrimony. ABC affil WSIX (now WKRN) served the other
major constituency of daytime viewers, teenaged girls and young unmarried women, with ABC's
All My Children.
BTW, the show of course featured a short newscast, but it was much more than that, so we need
to set the record straight.

I do recall when I started seeing the Northern
Alabama edition in 1969 that Ch. 4 Nashville's
noon listing was indeed The Noon Show
with Teddy Bart, and I flinched when I saw
"News" listed at noon in this particular 1973
issue. But I lived in Birmingham, not Nashville,
and it has been 36 years. I put 'em up the way
I see 'em--especially when I don't know any better.
Thanks for the correction.
From what I read, I think the demographic target
has changed re local news in Nashville. WTVF
seems to be after the urban/suburban audience,
while WSMV goes after the rural audience with a
more folksy newscast (I don't know where WKRN
fits in). I know that WTVF's newscasts remind me
of WXII here in Piedmont North Carolina: a very no-
nonsense, almost network approach.

Did anyone in the Mobile-Pensacola area air The Price Is Right at that time? I don't think I saw it
listed at all.

I was surprised not to see "The Price is Right" in the Mobile Press-Register's TV listings from this
date in history. Pardon me for not mentioning the name of the newspaper earlier, as I have done
so in previous posts with TV listings from the Mobile area.

WKRG didn't clear the Price Is Right during the brief period when CBS aired the show from 9:30
to 10:30 CST. By the next Summer it was back on WKRG.

Re: Retro: South Carolina/Augusta-Savannah GA Fri, Aug 2, 1996
This was right before the switch of WCBD to NBC and WCIV to ABC. It happened just a couple of
weeks after this. Even though I was just a few years old at the time, I remember many of the
programs on those stations.
WBNU (now WMMP) switched to UPN just a few months after this date.

8:00 Frontline "After the Crash" (the crash being a 1982 727 crash in New Orleans that killed
153)
A flight that lasted all of 29 seconds. Took off from NOIA with strong t-storms in the area; got hit
by a massive microburst (windshear), never got more than 150 feet off the ground, and crashed
into some homes. It was this crash, and a very similar crash in Dallas 3 years later (Delta Flight
191) that led to the development and deployment of the on-board airborne wind shear
detection and alert system in all commercial planes.
Frontline had premiered in January, and was anchored by Jessica Savitch -- some say it was her
finest work. Sadly, she would be dead less than 6 months after this broadcast.
8:00 Blood Feud (conclusion, this was a miniseries on the battle between Jimmy Hoffa and
Robert Kennedy)
I remember watching part of this! Quite an interesting cast, with Robert Blake as Hoffa and
Cotter Smith as RFK. (Smith became a busy, if not well-known actor; his only regular TV role was
on the short-lived 1990-91 series Equal Justice.) Playing Bobby in this movie was one of his first
roles. Also, Forrest Tucker as LBJ and Ernest Borgnine as J. Edgar Hoover. (!!) I don't recall enough
about the movie to know if we should chuckle at those last two cast members/roles, but I do
remember thinking Blake played a pretty decent Hoffa.

A follow-up to bpatrick's Denver skeds thread, and as he asked,
if anyone has this day for Salt Lake, please post (Albuquerque
and/or El Paso would also be welcomed).
These are the three net affils, plus some comments about the
Tucson stations on the same day:

The memory has faded so much...after all I was only 2 yrs. old

I was sure KOOL just flipped the 7:30 ET hour (Adventure) to 9,
but Route 66 is the only live net. TZone and Hitch would be a
one-hour delay but perhaps one or both was either on film or else
a one-week delay?

Daytime all live (aired only the 9am ET first hour refeed of
Today). As with KOOL, I'm stumped with prime time as it's
all in pattern and I don't think KTAR had enough VTR equip.
to do it. Perhaps some one-week delays and/or 16mm film?
KVOA-TV 4 Tucson had its own Telco feed--they ran the same
daytime (all live). In prime they took Hope/Harry/Paar live
6:30-9, off-net Thriller reruns 9-10. Don Ameche (I wonder
if he could make a phone call from Europe? ;D) was pushed
to Saturday at 4--not sure if it was one-DB or eight-DB.

Re: Retro: Phoenix/Friday, November 22, 1963
Compared to Denver, the Phoenix stations seemed
to do a better job of staying in pattern (especially
Ch. 10 in Phoenix vs. Ch. 7 in Denver, both CBS).
It's most interesting how the ABC affiliates stay
most closely in pattern (compare Phoenix's Ch. 3
with Denver's Ch. 9 and you'll see they're pretty
similar). Why the tendency for ABC stations to
do this, when CBS and NBC stations are all over
the place with their schedules?

Sadly, nothing on that day's schedule past 10 AM PT/noon ET aired as planned, in Phoenix or
anywhere else in America. :'(

Yup...the shooting took place at almost exactly 12:30 CT, and the first bulletins hit the air 10-15
minutes later. The first was probably locally on WFAA-TV around 12:40 when Jay Watson
breathlessly (after running from Dealey Plaza) interrupted a women's talk/fashion program with
the news. I don't think any TV stations or networks broke programming any earlier than that.

I don't think so either, at least on television;
Walter Cronkite broke into "As The World Turns"
at 12:40 (CST) with the first network bulletin.
However, Don Gardiner broke in on ABC radio at
12:36 with the first bulletin.

I'm assuming NBC-TV broke the news nationally around 12:45 CT. This is based on the extant
video starting at about 12:56, and the fact that the first 11 minutes did not get taped.

That's correct. At the time WLS radio was playing Dominique by the Singing Nun and the song
was interrupted by a local announcement in Chicago. Then they went to the network feed.

That's from a different Bob, not me, but I'll answer
it anyway. Arizona is in the Mountain time zone; he
meant 2 PM ET/1 PM CT/12 N MT/11 AM PT. He has
Pacific two hours behind Eastern when it's actually
three; also, the first national bulletins aired on ABC radio at
1:36 (ET) and on CBS television four minutes later.
I also believe Jay Watson, who was (as I found out)
WFAA's program director, burst into Julie Benell's studio
at about 12:45 (CT), and probably had to catch his
breath before making his announcement. (BTW, WFAA
is--AFAIK--still located in Dealey Plaza.)
I was just going by Watson's statement in the first feed to ABC that they had gone on the air "10
minutes after the shooting," but I guess that was just a rough estimate on his part.

And to briefly circle this back to the Tucson sidebar in the
Phoenix schedule...
WFAA-TV's Jay Watson (now deceased) was, circa the late
1970s-early 1980s, the GM at KOLD-TV.
12:45 is a guesstimate on my part, based on what I got back when
I posted the Dallas/Ft. Worth schedules for that awful day; he was
there, I wasn't and wouldn't be for another thirteen years, at which
time both Jay Watson and Julie Benell were long gone from Ch. 8
(both are deceased now).

Re: September 1, 1978 Connecticut (via New York City)
For those who may not be aware, WATR channel 20 was not the main NBC affiliate for
Connecticut. Hartford received NBC programming from Viacom-owned WHNB channel 30, which
was licensed to New Britain, leaving WATR to serve only a small part of the Hartford/New Haven
market.
In the early eighties, WATR was flipped to the WTXX call letters (which it still has today), dumped
NBC, upped its power, and became the first real independent station serving Hartford/New
Haven. (I don't count WHCT channel 18, which was owned by Eugene Scott and carried his
unique brand of religious programming until he lost the license)

Was WHNB-TV carried in the New York Metropolitan Edition of TV Guide? I know that Viacom
bought the station, changed the call letters to WVIT-TV and increased their signal, allowing them
to reach New Haven cleanly for the first time. This overhaul of channel 30 is what made
Waterbury's channel 20 affiliation with NBC redundant. The change to WTXX-TV was in the
spring of 1982.
I know that in the last days of real listings in TV Guide, that edition carried channels 3, 8, 20, 30,
61 and had a bullet for Connecticut Public Television, although I think a direct listing for channel
49 of Bridgeport would've been suitable. I don't think they ever carried listings for channel 59 of
New Haven.

I didn't realize it back then because I was a kid, but looking at it now I was thinking, wow, did
Connecticut have a weak NBC affiliate. On Sundays, it didn't go on the air until 11AM! WHNB
probably wasn't carried by the NYC TV Guide because it was too far away though WFSB was
listed (New Britain & Hartford are roughly the same distance from NYC). Connecticut channels
always fascinated me because New Jersey only had PBS & Spanish channels and they were more
allusive to pick up.
Channel 59 (WCTX) was never carried, though WTHH was (Both in New Haven). Back in 2003
when it was a UPN affiliate, I was able to pick it up in my grandmother's house off the old roof
antenna and the picture was actually pretty watchable.

And judging by the sample listings posted in this thread, I take it WATR didn't have a news
department, either! Oh, and when your main afternoon programming fare consists of "The PTL
Club," you know you're in trouble! (Although not as in dire straits as Channel 20 would be in the
mid-90's, of course.)

Channel 30 didn't make New York Metro listings until after the 1979 call letter change to WVIT
and the increase in their signal. For about a year afterward, NBC listings in NYM TV Guides had
(4) (20) (30), before being knocked down to (4) (30).
I also seem to recall for a brief period, NYM TV Guides had Public TV Channel 65 from
Connecticut.

Years later, I recall WHLL airing "Another World". Perhaps you're thinking of that show?
Yeah, I was thinking about AW...I'm sure I've also seen listings from the late 80s that said 62 had
aired it too.
You sure Channel 3 (WFSB) was in the Boston edition?
I was living on the NH Seacoast at the time, and depending on what store you bought it from,
you would either have the Boston or NH edition. It used to cause confusion, because the NH
edition had Channel 6 WCSH (NBC) from Portland and the Bostong edition had WLNE (then CBS).

Re: Retro: Boston/Manchester/Providence/Central Mass. Wed, Aug 24, 1988
As strange as it sounds, WFSB was indeed listed in the Boston edition at that time, as was WWLP.
My guess would be WFSB and WWLP would be on cable out towards Worcester/Central Mass
area. Anyone out there have any clues on this?

Re: Retro: Boston/Manchester/Providence/Central Mass. Wed, Aug 24, 1988
The Eastern New England Edition was divided up into the Boston, Worcester and Providence
Editions around 1980. The Worcester Edition carried the Boston and Providence stations as well
as the primary stations from the Springfield market (22, 40 and 57 from Springfield and 3 from
Hartford). The Boston and Worcester Editions were combined around 1987. At that time,
channels 3, 22 and 57 were added to the Boston Edition. There was a note at the front of the
program listings section stating that they were added for Worcester area viewers. The note also
mentioned that channel 64 from Providence was added for Worcester viewers as well - I am
guessing that was because 64 was not listed in the Worcester Edition.

Re: Retro: France; Tuesday, December 6, 1983 (w/ YouTube clips)
Oh, and this is the sign-off sequence used by Antenne 2 at the time. Conceived by a Belgian
artist, this may be the saddest and most beautiful daily sign-off in television history:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfwGR08tRWA
It's also very "French".

I always understood French broadcast TV to be very highbrow...like PBS on steroids.
Very surprised to see Candid Camera and Treasure Hunt on here. Perhaps they also had
a solid 4 hr. Jerry Lewis block on Saturday nights?

I always understood French broadcast TV to be very highbrow...like PBS on steroids.

French television was fairly highbrow during the RTF/ORTF era (1960s, early 1970s), when the
state broadcasting corportation enjoyed a broadcasting monopoly (except in border areas where
commercial stations from Monaco and Luxembourg that trageted France could be received).
ORTF's two (three after 1972) networks had no competition, so they could focus on giving the
people "what they needed" in addition to "what they wanted" -- although mass-appeal
entertainment was never absent from French TV screens.
Unlike the BBC, however, ORTF was not really popular in France; its news coverage, for instance,
was seen as always being defferential to the government in power, rather than being
independent and questioning. In 1974/1975, ORTF's three networks were therefore split into
three separate broadcasting organizations. They were still state-owned, but now became
competitive rather than complementary. The amount of programming with mass appeal quickly
increased and the percentage of highbrow programming decreased. This is the period from
where this lineup originates.
The first network, TF1, was eventually privatized and new, fully commercial networks sprung up
in the mid- to late 1980s. This situation led to even less highbrow programing on the main
channels. France now has several specialized channels devoted to the arts and culture, but the
flagship networks look and feel like TV elsehere in Europe, with reality shows, pupular American
series, and the like.
This may surprise some, but France's major networks show more American programming that
Britain's five major channels (excluding cable, satellite, and digital-only services).

I have never been to France so I don't know first hand myself but over the years I have heard
from many who had been in that country that France is very open when it comes to full nudity
on OTA TV, even in the commercials. For example my neighbors who spent their vacation in Paris
some years back I can remember telling me that they can remember seeing an ad on Paris TV for
cigars that had then-popular American wrestler Bill Goldberg walking around the beach totally
nude and just a puffing away on his cigar. They also claim to have seen actress Anne Heche nude
as well on French TV even though I seem to recall watching an interview with her on
Entertainment Tonight shortly after the break-up with Ellen DeGeneres where she said she
would never do nude scenes in American films, but I guess French TV is ok with her. Kind of
reminds me of the stories I have heard in the past of some of Hollywood's biggest stars and how
they are willing to do commercials in Japan but they won't as much as do anything, not even
interviews on American TV.

or as someone involved with those international awards for TV commercials once put it...
"The Americans sing about it, the British make a joke about it, and the French just take their
clothes off."

were still very vague stating they would heve Home Shopping about half the day, Catholic shows
a few more hours a day and some Educational & Family programming. It was announced by now
that WTXX w@ould continue to run Disney Afternoon and Highway To Heaven but nothing else
was announced. But complete plans were still unclear.

In The Week of March 13-19, 1993 WTXX was scheduled to be sold to Counterpoint. Still before
the sale except for the Home Shopping Network airing 12-15 hours a day daily and Highway To
Heaven no other plans were announced prior to press time on March 6. By the time the March
13 issue came out Renaissance amed a deal with Counterpoint to have WTXX air Disney cartoons
from 3-5 PM weekdays and Sitcoms 5 to 7 PM weekdays and other shows from 3-7 PM
Weekends. Renaissance would continue to sell the air-time while Counterpoint would run the
shows for no charge from the syndicators (WTIC TV would pay for these shows)but WTXX would
not be paid by WTIC TV either. Meanwhile Renaissance wanted a 15 hour a day LMA with WTXX
while Counterpoint wanted to only sell about 6 hours a day of airtime. Since an LMA deal could
not be reached though the temporary 3-7 PM daily deal would be ironed out for 4 months.
Renaissance therefore put out their daily 4 hour schedule while Counterpoint put out no
schedule for the rest of the day. TV Guide therefore got the following schedule. The sale was
scheduled to take place Friday March 12, 1993. So here is what TV Guide published March 13-19,

Needless to say the sale did not occur until March 19, 1993 so this was the schedule that wound
up airing. Renaissance therefore aired the previous week's schedule or something very close but
unsure of what movies actually aired. I came to that conclusion according to next week's listings.

WTXX Format Change - First Counterpoint Schedules
The sale of WTXX closed Friday March 19, 1993. The changeover occurred Friday at Midnight
and after that Counterpoint Catholic Communications took over operations at WTXX 20.
Renaissance continued to program the 3 to 7 PM daily time slots while Counterpoint
programmed the rest of the day. Still for the first 2 weeks thw Wild West special that
Renaissance bought for WTXX would also run because there was no room for WTIC TV Fox 61, So
that prime time slot was also still programmed due to contractual obligations. TV Guide listed a
schedule that Renaissance was hoping to have. Renaissance hoped to program most of WTXX's
day whic never happened so the TV Guide schedule was inaccurate during certain time periods.
So here is the first Counterpoint Schedule (Taken from April 10-17, 1993 issue plus Wild West
was added due to the fact it did run)
March 20-26, 1993

No this schedule was the schedule that TV Guide listed March 20-26, 1993, NOT APRIL!!
Renaissance plan was to manage programming on WTXX from 7-9 AM and again 11 AM to 10
PM but could not strike a deal with Counterpoint. STill hopes were held out and this was what
was sent to TV Guide for March 20-26.

Re: Retro: Hartford/New Haven Listings - Independents - Late Winter/Early Spring 1993
Can anyone shed some light as to how the four-hour cartoons-and-sitcoms block evolved into a
straight four-hour cartoon block? I recall when they used to air "Garfield" reruns as late as 6:30
PM.

Re: WTXX 1993 answers

Counterpoint bought WTXX in March of 1993 from Renaissance. Under the deal Renaissance was
to retain all of WTXX's shows except for 100 movies and Highway To Heaven. They then were to
negotiate a LMA with WTXX for part of the broadcast day. Renaissance wanted the LMA to span
from 6 AM to 9 AM and 3 PM to Midnight daily. Counterpoint had a committment with Home
SHopping network for 12 hours a day (they opted to run 15 hours a day at that point), a contract
to carry Catholic shows a couple hours a day, and programming to cover another couple hours.
They wanted Renaissance shows only for 4 hours in the afternoon.
So while negotiating an LMA with WTIC-TV, WTXX ran 4 hours of Renaissance shows from 3 to 7
PM daily. COunterpoint was paid nothing, they paid Renaissance nothing. Counterpoint
therefore got free programming but made no money on it, while Renaissance retained all the ad
revenue. This arrangement occurred from march to July of 1993. The shows were Disney
cartoons and a double run of Cosby and Growing Pains until 7 PM. In June the evening shows
changed somewhat.
But after being unable to negotiate an LMA with WTIC, WTXX opted to go into an LMA with NBC
affiliate WVIT instead. Under that deal WTIC-TV took back Disney Cartoons and the sitcoms and
mixed them onto Fox 61's schedule. WVIT though acquired syndicated cartoons that fell off
WTXX's schedule upon the sale to Counterpoint that were barter and that WTIC-TV had no room
for.
The deal with WVIT was that WVIT would lease WTXX's airtime Monday through Friday from 7 to
9 AM, 3 to 7 PM, and from 10 PM to 1 AM. They would lease Saturday and Sunday from 7 to 10
AM and 10 PM to 1 AM. WVIT would produce a 10 PM newscast to air on WTXX. But the daytime
shows would be all cartoons. These cartoons would air 7 to 9 AM daily (until 10 AM weekends)
and from 3 to 7 PM weekdays> These included Underdog, Woody Woodpecker, Garfield, Dennis
The Menace, Flintstones, Jetsons, Scooby Doo, Yogi Bear, Sonic The HEdgehog, Ducktales (not
the Disney Afternoon) and a couple others. From 10:30 PM to 1 AM WTXX ran WVIT syndicated
shows including Designing WOmen, LAPD, Highway Patrol Real Stories, and others.
This arrangement continued until the Spring of 1996. This is why you would remember cartoons
until 7 PM Weekdays. It was a rather wierd schedule. Also in the Winter of 1995, UPN shows
were added on nights UPN offered programming. On a UPN night Cartoons still ran until 7 PM
and then HSN programming would air for only an hour followed by UPN shows at 8 PM.
In April of 1996, the LMA with WVIT expanded to the whole broadcast day except for the 10 AM
hour which kept running Catholic shows, and the overnight. Cartoons initially ran until 7 PM
while HSN programming during the day was replaced with talk shows and reality shows and
some sitcoms. Cartoons were pulled back to end at 5 PM by the Summer of 1996 and sitcoms
were put back into evenings at that point.
In 1997, when NBC bought WVIT, the shows that were being shared with WTXX was excluded
and sold to WTIC-TV. At that point WTIC-TV finally began an LMA with WTXX for the entire
broadcast day except for the daily hour of Catholic programming. This LMA continues to this day
but today both stations are owned by Tribune.

Re: Retro: Hartford/New Haven Listings - Independents - Late Winter/Early Spring 1993
I remember when the Home Shopping Network aired on WTXX 15 hours a day. At first it was the
Home Shopping Club they aired aka HSN-2. When HSN discontinued HSN-2, WTXX switched to
Home Shopping Spree. (Which was previously the HSN Overnight Service). Other stations that
had been running HSN-2 (including WHSE/WHSI in Newark/Smithtown) switched to the main
HSN Network.
I also remember right before Home Shopping Club would start on WTXX there would be an
announcer "And Now Live from Tampa Bay Florida it's The Home Shopping Club!" And they'd
join the network in progress.
Prior to airing on WTXX, The Home Shopping Club aired on WHCT/18, which went dark for nearly
6 years in 1991. (Now Univision WUVN).

Wow, Mark, thanks for the extensive explanation - and apparently going through the task of re-
registering in doing so!

No, there wasn't any cable in Cedar Rapids or Waterloo in 73. There was in Dubuque, and they
probably got another ABC affiliate from somewhere.
I don't know why KCRG would have dropped the football game. The might have been running a
regular local Saturday night movie, but I don't think so, at least I don't remember them doing so.

So what was the reason for two ABC affiliates in the Cedar Rapids/Waterloo/Dubuque market?
Was there some reception issues with channel 9 in Dubuque?

Dubuque gets very poor reception from the CR/Waterloo stations. Dubuque had one of the first
cable systems in the country due to the terrain there.
There were two ABC affiliates in the market because somebody with KDUB bribed someone at
ABC to get the affiliation. This must have been in the late 60s, I think there eventually were some
criminal charges filed. KDUB was never all that successful, since KCRG was always on cable. KDUB
folded in the mid-70s, then after maybe a couple of years came back under different ownership,
still ABC.
Years later, after the Fox affiliate in CR went broke and left the air, somebody bought it and
KDUB, and put together a Fox simulcast. Eventually they decided the Dubuque Fox station was
no longer needed and it was sold off to a religious organization.

TVG only mentioned WAZT and WJAL in the converter guide.
Even though TV Guide did list WJAL as being part of The WB in these listings, actually WJAL had
dropped that network a year earlier even though I also remember hearing at the time that it was
The WB themsevles who had actually dropped WJAL..either way it was due to money and the
lack of it.
WAZT...it was around the time of these listings where some network was supposed to had
approached them about becoming an affilate for them. At the time the rumors were that WAZT
would become UPN, others it was WB. Also the station at the time had a number of people who
wanted to buy them as well. Either way none of them did happened as then-owner Art Stamler
had more/less wanted to keep WAZT mainly a religious channel with a few secular shows thrown
in and was happy with running his TV station. However had all of this had happened a year later,
maybe something would have had happened at WAZT. Art's wife ( and WAZT co-owner ) Virginia
Stamler had found out she had cancer ( which would kill her a few years later ), Art sold off his
WAZR radio to Clear Channel Communications, and he started to cut back on secular
programming even their local news were cut too as it was around this time WAZT lost their
popular weather guy Alan Arehart and anchor Craig Orndorf to Woodstock's WAAM radio which
in turn had hurt their local news product.
A station where the owner was happy to be the..well owner well within a short time he had lost
interest. Well at least Art Stanler didn't let WAZT go dark but last I heard sadly that may happen
soon even with different owners. But that is a different story all together.

I do believe you mean Living Single - but then, you did record it accurately on the WSLS late-
night listing, so you've redeemed yourself...
I must ask what the reason was for WJLA to black out the entire ABC schedule for the evening...
do they have something against Deidre Hall?
Didn't realize I mangled the title...must have been a Freudian slip, I guess . I was kind of
wondering that about 'JLA myself... ??? And wasn't it strange that a movie about one of NBC's
best-known soap stars ran on ABC?

For the want of a half-hour, WAGA (Storer?) had to run Perry Mason
(network 7:30-8:30 ET) on a one-week delay! Wonder why it was so
critical to air it at 7 and the syndie at 8? (Maybe Klaatu was told to
"nictu WAGA's barada" if Third Man didn't get the 8:00 slot. ;D)

Assuming boxing/bowling was still live EDT, it's strange ABC didn't send it
through at 9 and flip Welk to 10 in the EST areas.
Or maybe Welk also was still live then? But wouldn't you rather have run
one of the two live shows live, instead of both on delay?
This may have something to do with Roaring Twenties having already been
canceled, and while you could flip it to 10 EST, it would be marginal to run
any two of the three early-eveningcartoon/sitcom shows that late.

From 1944 to 1960, didn't NBC air Gillette Calvacade of Sports (Boxing) on Friday nights at 10? I
believe ABC was just programming to viewers' expectations. Also, Beaver was a good lead-in to
Lawrence Welk while Boxing at 9 pm would have lost audience.

Both Welk and boxing were live; I suspect the
reason both aired on a one-hour tape delay is
that 10 PM would have been pretty late for a
lot of Welk's audience, and--as pointed out--to
run Welk at 8 and the fights at 9 might have meant
"Room For One More" and "Leave It To Beaver" from
10 to 11--not good scheduling at all.
When "The Roaring 20s" aired at 7:30 the previous
year, ABC did flip-flop its schedule for EST:

8 PM Lawrence Welk
10 PM Roaring 20s
But that strategy made no sense with a two-hour
block of cartoons and family sitcoms. Hence the
running of Welk and the fights on delay.
As for "Perry Mason," TV Guide showed that WAGA
was running the same episode that aired on the rest
of the CBS network at 7:30. How they pulled it off,
I don't know (they did the same thing with "Rawhide"
on Fridays), but it gave Ch. 5 a half-hour's head start
on Ch. 2 (with "Tales Of Wells Fargo" at 7:30) and
Ch. 11 ("Calvin And The Colonel").

As for "Perry Mason," TV Guide showed that WAGA
was running the same episode that aired on the rest
of the CBS network at 7:30. How they pulled it off,
I don't know...
Two possibilities:
1)
Somehow got Telco to switch them--but not other CBS affils in the
southeast--to the live EDT feed from 6:30-7:30 EST, and for WAGA
to do a half-hour tape delay. This would require a bare minimum of
three VTRs (and that's going without a backup). I just can't see
AT&T being able to accommodate one station in the EST area where
all others were getting the alternate network feed.
2)
Getting CBS to send them a 16mm film print of Mason in advance for
same-night airing. Normally, these prints were sent--after the fact--
to non-interconnected stations or others out-of-pattern who were
unable to tape the feed, and who aired the episodes on a one-week
or more delay. There was precedence, as KOOL-TV Phoenix ran some
shows same-night from 16mm film in the 1960s, but being in the Mountain
time zone there was already a built-in handicap of having to delay at

least part of prime time every weeknight.
I suppose there is a third scenario--that being it really was a one-week
delay and the episode listing was just incorrect. TVG's data was only
as good as what each station furnished. Do you have issues from other
weeks in summer 1962 where the episode summary also matches what
was on the net at 7:30 EDT?

I have one that I could readily put my hands on,
from May 1962 (DST in effect); it, too, shows
Ch. 5 running the "Perry Mason" episode that ran
a half-hour later on Chs. 12 and 13.
These books also show Bugs Bunny running at 11:30
AM on Ch. 9 and noon on Ch. 11. Noon was the time
ABC scheduled the show, yet Ch. 9 is shown running

the same episode as Ch. 11.
I also have one or two that show CBS's "The 20th
Century" on Ch. 5 Sundays at 4:30, and on Chs. 12
and 13 at 6. CBS scheduled the program at 6 PM
on Sundays (12 and 13 are in-pattern), yet CBS's ads
show Ch. 5 airing the same program as the in-pattern
stations, as do TV Guide's listings. These come in
September, and I don't think Ch. 5 could have gotten
a live feed before 5 PM (EST).
I don't have an answer to this, just as I never had one
for the ABC station in New Bern, NC, running everything
an hour earlier in the summers of 1965 and 1966, when
North Carolina still stayed on standard time.

Apparently, CBS did in the early '60s what it did in the late '60s when I was working at WAGA -
send a complete program down the line a few days earlier for taping by local stations that
needed it. It would be sent in the late afternoons along with CBS news feeds.
Many times, all the Atlanta stations (especially WSB) had local contracts that would cause a
conflict. To help matters, the station and the network would agree to "adjust" the air time of the
network program by 30 min just to get the network program on the air in the market. This
compromise was acceptable to everyone as long as it was not abused. (Most times, the station
only had one shot - only one time did we have to get CBS to re-feed the show when Telco
messed up.)
This also applied as a preview for "controversial" programs; "All in the Family" was a weekly
afternoon feed, but never the same day every week .

trusty,
Maybe that does solve the "Mason mystery," but a few questions
still remain.
I can't speak for what CBS may have pre-fed in the 1960s, but by
the mid-1970s, the closed-circuit time was for program previews
only, and I believe it was the program only, no spots or CTNs.

Additionally, as late as 1973 and perhaps even beyond then, programs
were not yet assembled together with breaks on a master tape (two
copies each at the dairy barn and TV City) for air, but were run off
of the show's source (tape shows on two VTRs and film from a 35mm
primary and 16mm backup) with spots inserted "live" from air control
from whatever tape or film source they were on. Movies (prime and
late) themseves were dubbed to tape for airing, but not the breaks.
I have a copy of the daily program log (for both CBS net NYC feed and
WCBS-TV) from one day in 1973.
It may well be that a small number of shows back in the 1960s were
pre-fed, but the air control techs would have to roll in the spots and
have the booth announcer voice the CTNs, unless for these feeds
they did pass everything to tape ahead of time.
And if CBS did these "favors" for a few larger markets in the 1960s,
why didn't they also do any pre-feeds for the Mountain time zone?

I remember when Ch. 9 (WTVC) would run ABC's
late-night programs at 11:30, while Ch. 11 (WXIA)
would run them at midnight, following "Mary Hartman,
Mary Hartman." It would always be the same show,
just a 30-minute delay in Atlanta. Since this was
the '70s, how was this accomplished?

...while Ch. 11 (WXIA) would run them at midnight, following
"Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman." It would always be the same
show, just a 30-minute delay in Atlanta. Since this was the
the '70s, how was this accomplished?
Being in Mountain (Standard) Time markets, I was familiar with one-

and two-hour delays for extended periods of programming, but from
that I can give you a half-hour delay scenario. Assuming this is the
mid-70s and we're dealing with those two-inch quad VTR monsters.
You'd need four machines, three for primary record/playback and the
fourth to record a "continuous" backup--meaning keep recording on
90-min. reels until and unless you need it, and do a reel change during
a local station break (and don't forget to clean the heads then too).
If you do need the backup, then all bets are off as all hell is breaking
loose in the tape room!
You record in 25-min. segments with a five-min. record overlap from
reel to reel. This allows you five min. to rewind and check each reel,
then five min. to synch it up with the previous reel and segue to it.
VTR 1
record 11:30-11:55 play 12:00-12:25
VTR 2
record 11:50-12:15 play 12:20-12:45
VTR 3
record 12:10-12:35 play 12:40-1:05
VTR 1 (again)
record 12:30-12:55 play 1:00-1:25
VTR 2 (again)
record 12:50-1:15 play 1:20-1:45
VTR 3 (again)
record 1:10-1:35 play 1:40-2:05
If the ABC late night runs more than 2:05--lather, rinse, repeat the above.
I worked at a station in the mid 70's that delayed The Tonight Show 1 hour using 2 VTRs. It went
something like this (Central Time):
VTR 1
record 10:30-11:20 / play 11:30-12:15
VTR 2
record 11:10-12:00 / play 12:15-1:00
(12:10-12:20 sync up playback of VTR 1 & 2 - change when needed)
We also had a backup rolling. ('Twas a long time ago!)
---
When CBS fed the programs in the 60's, They fed the program, then the commercials, promos,
etc. (with slates). We inserted the network spots and our local spots.
---
Can't answer about the Mountain Time Zone - never worked there and always wondered about
it. Why would the networks run an extra feed to make their programs air earlier than in the
Pacific Zone?

Exactamente! That is the standard scenario for doing a one-hour delay
for any extended period of time (daytime, prime, late-night)--record in
50-min. segments with 10-min. overlaps. Has Mountain Time Zone

written all over it.
When CBS fed the programs in the 60's, They fed the program, then the commercials, promos,
etc. (with slates). We inserted the network spots and our local spots.
OK, now I think the "Mason mystery" has definitely been solved! The only question
remaining is did CBS also feed you (with the spots/promos) the system cues (CTNs)
for the mid-break and end-break? Back then this would likely be as simple as the
CBS booth guy reading promo copy over a Danny Thomas Show program slide
followed by the eyeball slide ("...Uncle Tonoose visits--but then won't leave--on
Look Out For Father with Danny Nose, Monday at 9/8 Central time on CBS" ;D).

There wasn't an extra feed. Mountain stations got the New York origination, so prime
came in 5:30-9 MST and, while some smaller (but interconnected) markets took it all
live, most stations ran prime 6:30-10 so one or more shows had to be flipped around
via tape delay, or in some cases, 16mm film prints.
MST stations wouldn't want the left coast feed from TV City as that would put prime
time on from 8:30-midnight/winter and 7:30-11/summer.

CBS would send segment times, commercial placement, scripts, etc. via teletype. Traffic would
put them on the log, and we aired them as logged. We also kept listening for the teletype
located close to the announce booth for any last-minute changes. Usually, we didn't VO over
credits that would have been heard if took the pgm. live.

smaller (but interconnected) markets took it all live, most stations ran prime 6:30-10 so one or

Thanks. I would like to see a schedule for Denver on June 23, 1962 OR an early listing of an ET
market and MT market on the same day for comparison (Which shows got switched where...).

If you search back through Classic TV, you'll see some threads on what was
scheduled to air on 11/22/63. One was for Dallas/Fort Worth, I believe that
bpatrick added a networks/New York feed (EST), and there are also Denver
and Phoenix (includes Tucson) for that day.
It's possible that Salt Lake, Albuquerque, El Paso, etc., may each have had
their own nuances, and we're still looking for skeds from these markets for
11/22/63.
