Re: Retro: Seattle/Tacoma May 19, 1980
Unfortunately, I have to correct you about the ABC newscast: Harry Reasoner left ABC in 1978 to
return to CBS and the show he founded with Mike Wallace, "60 Minutes;" Reasoner originally
left CBS in 1970 to take the ABC job. By this time, ABC had been on the "World News Tonight"
format for two years, with Frank Reynolds, Max Robinson, and Peter Jennings sharing the helm.
Of course, NBC still had John Chancellor at its anchor desk, and Walter Cronkite was in his last
year on "CBS Evening News."

School District sold the station to Kelly Broadcasting; the station was relaunched in November of
that year.

Crainbebo, do you have a Seattle-Tacoma schedule from November 1980 or later?
Classic Television must always be preserved!

If you're looking for a schedule for the relaunched KCPQ-TV/13, here's an interesting item -- it's
their schedule for their first scheduled day of broadcasting, which was Monday, October 13,
1980:
KCPQ-TV October 13, 1980, for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer TV Week magazine:
6:00 Ed Allen
6:30 Gary Randall
7:00 700 Club
8:00 Flintsones (Fred Flinstone & Friends)
9:00 David Letterman
10:30 Eddie's Father (Courtship of Eddie's Father)
11:00 Face the Music
11:30 Let's Make a Deal
Noon To Tell the Truth
12:30 Mike Douglas
2:00 Toni Tenille
3:00 Don Lane
4:00 Captain Sea-Tac (kid's show)
5:00 Tom and Jerry
6:00 Family Feud

6:30 Squares (Hollywood Squares)
7:00 Bonanza
8:00 Movie: Bus Stop (1956)
10:00 Morecambe & Wise
10:30 You Bet Your Life
11:00 Movie: Wake Island (1942)
Due to delays with getting their transmitting antenna installed, KCPQ didn't sign back on the air
until November 4, 1980 -- which means that this "debut" schedule that was listed in the Seattle
PI never actually ran, although the actual schedule at launch a few weeks later wouldn't have
been much different.

Hey crainebo, hopefully you could answer a couple questions for me, 1. where is The Journal-
American located and 2. do you have any other Seattle-Tacoma schedules?

Thanks for clearing up a question that came
up not too long ago: what was the name of
KOMO's 7 PM magazine show? Now we know
it was "PM Northwest."
Also, I assume that "You Bet Your Life" on
Channel 13 was Buddy Hackett's version, which
was being syndicated in 1980, and not "Best Of
Groucho." Hackett's version lasted one season,
as did Bill Cosby's in 1992.

That's a pretty good bet -- while I was on the other side of the state at the time (in school at
WSU), I remember that the initial KCPQ relaunch schedule was very heavy on first run syndicated
programming. Most of it did poorly and was quickly cancelled, but the result certainly didn't look
much like a traditional independent station of the era.

This listing was published the day after the famous Mt. St Helens eruption on May 18, 1980 that
killed 57 people.
Channels listed
4 KOMO Seattle (ABC)
5 KING Seattle (NBC)
7 KIRO Seattle (CBS)
9 KCTS Seattle (PBS)
11 KSTW Tacoma (IND)

Listings start at 6AM and end at 1AM
11 KSTW
7AM: Star Blazers
7:30: Hanna-Barbara
-crainbebo
Given that Star Blazers ran on KSTW at 7, I'm going to assume that "Hanna-Barbera" is Hanna-
Barbera's World Of Super Adventure (i.e., Space Ghost, Birdman, Galaxy Trio, Herculoids, etc.), as
I had assumed all those years ago reading the out-of-town newspapers at the Copley Square
branch of the Boston Public Library almost 3 decades ago. Am I correct?

Something doesn't make sense to me on this schedule. Carol Burnett on KING5 at 5pm? I have
no recollection of this and thought that KING had a 5pm newscast through most of the 70's and
80's. Typo perhaps? Or if it was on, it couldn't have been on very long in that slot.
In the mid-to-late seventies, KOMO-4 and KING-5 each did an hour of local news starting at 5:30,
followed by network news at 6:30. KIRO-7 ran their hour of local news at 5:00, with network
news at 6:00, followed by various syndicated shows at 6:30 (in my memory, "Mike Douglas",
"Mary Tyler Moore", and "All in the Family" filled the 6:30 slot at various times).
Looking at that schedule from October 1980 that I used to pull the KCPQ-13 schedule from, I see
that as of October 1980, KING-5 and KIRO-7 were still following that pattern, but KOMO-4 had
expanded and modified it's news schedule to run an hour of local news at 5:00, network news at
6:00, and another half hour of local news at 6:30. KING-5 was, indeed, running half hour "Carol
Burnett" reruns at 5:00, just before their local news; KIRO-7 had "All in the Family" at 6:30 (after
the network news).

Sorry for being so late, but the Journal-American is in Bellevue, WA. It became the Eastside
Journal, then the King County Journal before closing it's doors in Jan. 2007.
I might have another listing from 1997, I'll check.
-crainbebo
I see that KCPQ's "fantasy" Oct. 1980 schedule showed Wheel of Fortune at 10AM. Perhaps KING
pre-empted that for another show.

Another question:
Did KCPQ become the station with the nighttime Family Feud until 1985?

Schedules often changed throughout those years (i.e. instead of showing sitcom reruns, paid
programming would air in those slots atleast once or twice a week)..

Kinda curious..what was the line-up for Atlantic City's WMGM-TV 40 around this time?
I remember watching them in Atlantic City back in the early 80s and outside of the NBC line-up
and their news, WMGM carried a lot of religious programming and Donahue I believe. I am sure
that had changed by the time of these listings.

WPHL: Fyi, for like the first 1/2 of that summer, Hogan's Hereos would air at 1pm, and Gilligan
would air at 2pm followed by Head of the Class
WTXF: Our then-NBC affiliate did not carry Caesars Challenge, so it aired on WTXF.. It premiered
on June 14, 1993, and would not be seen here in Philly until like later that month or the first
week of July
WGBS: Hard to believe that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lasted in the 4:30pm weekday slot
from 1989-1993. It was never moved!
Does anyone have any promos from WGBS dating around this time? They were always fun to
watch, especially with voiceover artist Kim Martin who made the promos worth watching with
his "distinctive" voice...

These might be "Lilias" (a yoga show) and "Nightly Business Report."

Dude, just search "WGBS" on YouTube - you'll be amazed, my friend!
There are some stuff, mainly from 1986-1988, and I was born in 1988 so I can't find much from
thereafter...

WTXF was the only station here in Philly that showed ALF while it appeared in repeats in
broadcast syndication. They aired it from 1990 to 1994. I think it faded from local stations a year
later.

Many of those Warner Brothers Television-distributed off-network shows from that era (late 80s
to early 90s) didn't last all too long in broadcast syndication. Here in Los Angeles, KCOP had Head
of the Class, Growing Pains, and Night Court, while KCAL had Perfect Strangers, ALF, and The
Hogan Family. Head of the Class was gone within two years on KCOP (it was sandwiched
between The Cosby Show at 6pm and Night Court at 7), and Perfect Strangers, ALF, and The
Hogans were also gone from KCAL within a couple of years. However, KTLA got the rights to Full
House (1991), Family Matters (1994), and Fresh Prince (also '94), and each of those shows lasted
there at least nearly a decade or more.

Family Matters went into off-net syndication in the fall of 1993.

Wasn't one of the reasons why Alf didn't do very well in syndication was due to some scandal
involving the star of Alf Max Wright ? I believe it had to do with Wright being photographed
doing crack cocaine and having sex with male hookers. Even though there is nothing about this
on Wikipedia or IMDB, I do remember when that made headlines.

IMHO, Perfect Strangers shouldn't have ever been greenlit for production. What a horrible,
horrible show...
FYI - ALF still airs on television, on WGN America on weekends. Of course, now you can watch all
the ALF you want, as Lionsgate TV (who apparently now handles syndication of the show) now
has all of the series' episodes on YouTube.
ALF was a cute show, but the Wikipedia entry (which seems to be well-documented with
citations) says that it was quite an ordeal for the actors, primarily because of the logistics of
staging and blocking with the ALF puppet. Scenes had to be taped in tiny bits and pieces, and a
single 30-minute episode could take 20-25 hours to shoot. Apparently, Max Wright also resented
the inanimate furball getting all the good lines, and Andrea Elson became bulimic as the series
wore on (a problem that she continues to battle to this day). There were a lot of long shooting
days/nights on that show, and a lot of tension, and it is a credit to the actors that it never shows
in their performances. (Well...almost never. And you thought Wright's deadpan sarcastic delivery
and world-weary tone were just good acting...)

There were many locals that didn't air ALF very long... But it lasted for almost it's entire
syndication run here in the Philly market...
Retro TV Guide skeds we'd like to see
Friends:
Here are some editions of TV Guide from the classic era of the 1960s and 1970s that I have yet to
see any schedules recently posted on here. If any of you have one or more of them, share them
with us! They include:
Arkansas (Little Rock, Shreveport, La.)
Central California (Fresno, Bakersfield)
Central Pennsylvania (Scranton/Wilkes Barre, Harrisburg)
Colorado (statewide, not just Denver)
Eastern Illinois (Champaign, Decatur, Springfield)
Eastern New York State (Albany, Binghamton, Syracuse)
Illinois-Wisconsin (Rockford, Madison, Chicago, Milwaukee)
Nevada (Las Vegas, Reno)
North Texas (Dallas/Fort Worth, Wichita Falls, Waco)
Northern California (Bay area northward)
San Diego
South Florida (Miami, Fort Lauderdale)
Again, we're looking for 1960-1980 only, after the "golden age" but before the advent of cable
and deregulation.
In the meantime, I'll take a look at my inventory and let people know what I have, and arrange to
post them over a one-to-two-year period. How does that sound?
Do you have any Minneapolis-St. Paul editions from the 1970s or 1980s?
Yes, I do, from 1974. Let me look it up and I'll post it, sometime next week. Thanks for asking.
Boy, do I keep my promises, or what? classictvfan, let me see what I can do this weekend. Maybe
I'll have a few spare moments.
I'd sure like to see anything from Chicago in the 60s.

Re: Retro TV Guide skeds we'd like to see
I would like to make a request for all the fine, fine people who post these fun-to-read retro
schedules:
If you are willing, please indicate which shows were indicated "in color". This, of course, applies
to only the era when TV Guide & newspapers had to indicate when a show was in color, and B &
W was the norm.
I know the original symbol for color was (cc), indicating "compatible color". Then it went to just
one "c" bullet on a black background. So, just a simple (c) next to the show listing would do.
But it would be really neat to know! Thanks!

Yes, and I only remember seeing the black bullet for (c) - but I only started to have interest in TV
Guide in 1968 or 1969 (when I was old enough to read and comprehend it). By then, most listed
shows were followed by the (c) and the (BW) came soon thereafter. The (cc) must have gone
away long before then.

Earlier on, In the 1950's up till 1968, TV Guide denoted color programs with a small rectangle
with the word COLOR in capital letters, they did the same with returning shows and new shows
using RETURN and DEBUT in the rectangles..
"Compatible Color" I think had to do with the RCA/NBC Color system which was "compatible" or
could be played on black and white sets (In B&W of course) whereas the CBS Color system would
not play on then-current TV sets. Once RCA won the color tv battle by the Mid 1950's , the term
"compatible color" became redundant..

Network programs aside (everything in color by the 66-67 season),
imagine being the "third" station in your market--probably the ABC
affiliate--and seeing the other two stations' late news (11/10pm)
shown in TV Guide with the COLOR rectangle, while your newscast's
listing lacks it.
One or both of the competition may be doing its COLOR-branded
show with only one TK-41, but doesn't it make you feel inferior?
listing lacks it.
I dont know about that but certain ABC shows (Jetsons, Flintstones) were broadcast in Color, but
WEWS-Channel 5 Cleveland was the only one of the NE Ohio ABC affiliates that showed some
ABC shows in color (Though local News, etc..was still Black and White,,) 33 and 49 in Youngtown
and Akron would note after these listings "Channels 33 and 49 do not colorcast"

see any schedules recently posted on here. If any of you have one or more of them, share them
with us! They include:
Eastern Illinois (Champaign, Decatur, Springfield)
Illinois-Wisconsin (Rockford, Madison, Chicago, Milwaukee)
I would also like to see more Western Illinois (Davenport/Rock Island/Moline,

Peoria/Bloomington, Quincy/Hannibal, Kirksville/Ottumwa, Springfield) edition listings. I don't
think old TVG's are at my local public library, although Springfield city proper got the Eastern IL
edition. Now Peoria was another case for two reasons--I recall seeing old Western Illinois edition
TV Guides at the main branch of the Peoria Public Library circa 1995.
Although many classic TVG websites listed the Eastern Illinois edition as the "home edition" for
the Peoria/Bloomington market stations, subscribers and businesses selling TVG in Peoria city
proper (and all of Peoria County--which even to this digital day can also receive Grade B signals
from the Quad Cities network affiliates) always received the Western Illinois edition. Even in
Tazewell County (which had some viewers able to also pick up signals from Decatur and
Champaign/Urbana in addition to Peoria and Springfield), I only saw the Western Illinois edition
on sale there (but the Eastern IL edition was available southwest of Tazewell County in Mason
County--county seat Havana). Further muddying the waters was that since its 1999 sign-on until
local listings were discontinued in 2005, Peoria UPN (now MY) station WAOE-59 was NEVER
listed in the Eastern Illinois edition, but was available in the Western IL edition since shortly after
its sign-on. But I'm sure Bloomington and McLean County got the Eastern Illinois edition--so IMO
both the Western and Eastern IL editions served as "home" for the Peoria/Bloomington market
channels (perhaps the Western IL edition more so).

The funny thing is that last local TV station I can remember seeing in TV Guide who was still
airing their local programs in wonderful B&W was Salisbury, MD's WBOC-TV channel 16...pretty
much a CBS station ( yes I do know that back then WBOC did air shows from NBC and ABC too
but for the most part, they were CBS ). That was in 1975 but sometime that year WBOC had
finally made the switch to color. Baltimore's WBFF channel 45, as late as 1974 were still airing at
least some of their local programs in B&W but WBFF back then was an indie..and a cheap indie
at that though they sure made it up in signal coverage.
Even though unreated to this, I can remember seeing some local CABLE shows that was still done
in black & white well into the mid 1980's !!!!

In Chicago the first stations to telecast in color were WGN-TV and the NBC owned which was
WNBQ.
It wasn't until several years after those stations were already in color before WBBM-TV and
WBKB (ABC) had shows in color.

WNBQ.
In New York, WRCA-TV (later WNBC-TV) broadcast some shows in color (and that's just local),
but a good many of them were still B&W. But among the indies, WOR-TV began airing color films
on their Million Dollar Movie beginning in 1960, and around 1963 or so started airing Mets
games and some studio-based shows in color. WABC-TV began showing movies in color (and
that's their locally-originated movie shows, now) in 1964, and the first color feature films on
WCBS-TV's The Late Show were aired in early 1966 (I.I.N.M., after Feb. 26 of that year; however,
their occasional Award Theatre ran some color films a bit before that).
WGN's New York sister station, WPIX, didn't start going color until 1965, and from what I've seen
WNEW-TV was the last of the three indies to start airing in color, in 1966.

thought it was WRC-TV who had went color first in that market. But according to Maury Povich
in 1985 during WTTG's 40th Anniversary special, he shows a clip from some local talk show
WTTG had aired way back ( I need to find that tape one of these days to find out the name of the
show ) where the host claimed that HIS show on WTTG was the first local TV show that was
produced and broadcast in color. However I have seen a tape of WRC from 1959 ( the one where
someone presses the button to switch from B&W to Color and near him was none other than
President Eisenhower ) so did this "color" show from WTTG aired before WRC's say 1958?

One station that had local shows in B&W for a while was WCMC-TV(now WMGM-TV), the
original Ch. 40 in Wildwood, NJ(at the Jersey Shore). I remember that station was listed in my
local TV Guide(Philadelphia) since the early 1970's. It wasn't until about 1981(after it became
WAAT) when it became a full color station.

I'd like to see the listings of the Michigan State Edition of TV Guide from March, 1959 until 1979
when the edition was broken up and made into the Southern Michigan and Northern Michigan
Editions. Also Northern California from 1976-1999.

WGN-TV had the news & some local programming in color in the late 50s & very early 60s.

Don't think I have any NoCals from the period (my copy's from early 60s), but you're in luck with
Mich State...I've got a few of them in the archives, and I'll post some listings from them in the
next few days

ABC shows in color (Though local News, etc..was still Black and White,,) 33 and 49 in Youngtown
and Akron would note after these listings "Channels 33 and 49 do not colorcast"
...TVG did the same thing as late as 1968 for CBS and NBC programs being run over WSAU-TV/7
Wausau, Wisconsin (before WAEO/12 Rhinelander signed on the air and took the NBC affiliation
away from WSAU-TV)...

How about anything from the South Carolina edition. I have only seen maybe two schedules
from that edition, and they were recent (1994 and 1996). I don't care what year, I just want to
see what the schedules were for the stations around our area.

Denver from the 1950's and early 60's !!!
I used to have a 1959 Denver edition of TV Guide but sadly it was thrown out by accident back in
1995. I do remember seeing those listings back then where that Denver's channel 2 was airing at
least 70% local programming during the week and that channel 7 KLZ was very much into TV
wrestling. The best one was the ad I remember seeing for some special that KOA-TV 4 was airing
about how all the new homes in Littleton, Colorado are built in a way to protect you from fallout
with the tag....
"..KOA-TV....the television station for you in the atomic age". Classic !!!!

other Denver stations at the time like KOA (KCNC ), KLZ (KMGH ) and KBTV went color.
The 1967 Broadcasting Yearbook (thanks Old Gringo!), which probably closed for
press in mid- to late 1966, has KLZ-TV color capability listed as "net, slides, live,
film, tape," whereas KBTV and KOA-TV were only "net, slides, film, tape" (no live).
The '68 book adds KBTV to the live color standard, but not KOA-TV. Ditto for '69.
It's pretty common knowledge to us old-timers (as opposed to "you younger posters" )
that these yearbooks were rampant with errors, glitches and omissions, however in the
Taishoffs' defense, the data could only be as good as what the stations submitted.
Save AM radio...kill I-CRAP.

listing lacks it.
But, in all fairness, color gear was very expensive back then...and if you were an ABC affiliate, or
God forbid, an independent, and barely making payroll, you had to think long and hard before
spending the (then) megabucks to do local origination in color. Lots of guys were doing well just
to have the equipment to pass network color, and nothing more. Granted, competition finally
made color mandatory, and as we got into the 70s, there were very few operators still running in
monochrome. But still, in the early 60s, it was very tough to do financially.
Network programs aside (everything in color by the 66-67 season), imagine being the "third"
station in your market--probably the ABC affiliate--and seeing the other two stations' late news
(11/10pm) shown in TV Guide with the COLOR rectangle, while your newscast's listing lacks it.
One or both of the competition may be doing its COLOR-branded show with only one TK-41, but
doesn't it make you feel inferior?

The other thing in the early 1960s was, only one maker of any color equipment of consequence
(RCA), and the resentment among certain broadcasters over such dominance. It wasn't until
Philips came forth with the Norelco 3-Plumbicon PC-60 (and its successors, the PC-70/PC-72/PC-
70S-2/PC-70S-3), combined with competing products such as Marconi's Mark VII and General
Electric's PE-250/350/400 cameras (and in the case of GE, PE-24/240/245 film chains), that the
tide began to turn in terms of stations with color capacity. Certainly Norelco's camera was a
trigger for CBS to finally commit to color starting in '65.
And you're second on my list. I'll have to dig a little bit, but I think I've got something from '72. If

Sorry that I have to report that the Wisconsin edition I have is actually from January 1973, after
KFIZ apparently went out of business. My apologies for getting your hopes up.
...no problem, don't sweat it...

Re: Retro: Denver Saturday, June 23, 1962
By request, from the Denver Post:
4:30 Regis Presents (Regis Philbin?)
I am thinking the "Regis" here was Denver's Regis University. Even if this is the case, ah can't rule
out Regis Philbin making at least an appearance there. Maybe its the location of Denver ( what is
the next closest "big" city to Denver..Kansas City? Phoenix? Neither aren't exactly "close by" ),
anyway some of those colleges and universities in Denver over the years has been known to get
some famous folks to speak to their students. Back in the late 80's Denver's Colorado Instutue of
Art had thier own local cable show on then Mile High Cable 10. Among the guests that school
somehow managed to get to appear on their show over a period of six months were Roseanne
Barr, the rock band AC/DC, Faye Dunaway, Bill Cosby, Alex Trebek, Carol Burnett, Phil Donahue
and Martha Quinn from MTV. Pretty good for a local cable show that was sponsored by a school.
Going back to Regis Philbin...come to think of it I believe he DID work for Denver's channel 9 at
one point but I thought for sure it was in the 70's, not back in 1962.

The first I remember of Regis Philbin was in the later 60s I believe.

Velvet delayed from Monday 8 ET, Showtime from Friday 7:30 ET.
6:30-9:20 MT was live net (movie ran long by :20).
Wells Fargo was from 5:30 MT (7:30 ET).

Prime time sked all live net.

10 PM News
Interesting in that we discussed in an Atlanta/Chatanooga/et al thread
that ABC chose not to run Welk/boxing live on the EST/CST split feed
(which was also passed through to the MST stations) because it would
force the 7:30-8:30 EDT shows to the end of the schedule, yet here
KBTV does just that from 9-10 MT, following 6:30-9 live net.
Beany at 6 (7 ET/5 MT) is referenced as "see Matty's Funday Funnies"
in Brooks & Marsh.
BTW, several references show "Reege" as being on KOGO-TV San Diego
during this period of the 1960s.

I knew that "Reege" was working in San Diego at
the time; he had, IIRC, a late-Saturday-night talk
show. I didn't know if any other stations carried it,
but apparently it was local. I never heard of Regis
University but somehow that makes more sense,
since I never heard of a Regis Philbin-hosted show
called "Regis Presents."
I'm also surprised Ch. 9 didn't take the whole ABC
feed live from 5 PM (MT). "Calvin And The Colonel,"
an animated show, got on relatively late in Denver.

I should add re "Beany And Cecil" that the show did
begin in 1959 as "Matty's Funday Funnies," with the
Harvey characters (Casper the Friendly Ghost, et. al.).
Beany and Cecil replaced them in January 1962 and the

show's title was changed to "Matty's Funnies With Beany
And Cecil"; by summer it was listed in TV Guide and newspapers
as "Beany And Cecil." BTW, Matty Mattel and Sister Belle,
for those who don't remember, were animated spokescharacters
for Mattel Toys. They were made into toys in their own right,
and were big sellers at the time.

Though its not in his credits, I believe Regis also hosted a San Diego morning show called "Sun-
Up." Maybe that was a year or two later. In the mid 60s, he hit the "big-time" ( ;D) at KHJ-TV Los
Angeles as one of the hosts of their Tempo programs...live call-in and interview talk
shows...essentially talk radio with a camera pointed at it.
I'm curious why Perry Mason played so early in the evening (5:30). It was still first-run. Didn't
network programming start at 6:30 central in those days?

Denver is Mountain Time. The prime time feed came down from 5:30-9 (5-9 on
Sundays). So KLZ-TV could either run it live at 5:30 or tape it (assuming at
least two VTRs in-house) and flip to 9:00.
MT stations back then were more likely to run weekends all live (some didn't
as is shown in this thread's listings), however weekdays were generally 6:30-10

and the schedule varied by station as to what was live net and what was delayed.
The delayed could be tape or 16mm film, with some one- and two-week delays,
especially with film.
Once a station acquired four VTRs that could be assigned to net delay, and the
machines were deemed reliable, they could then easily delay all of prime time by
one hour in pattern.

This was the local version of the Nickelodeon game show, "Double Dare".

I think that was the plan -- with both channels available in each other's markets, WVNY felt it
was best to give the kids more cartoons and let CFCF have General Hospital.

You managed to solve a slight problem I had when I posted some listings of my own recently
from the same date covering Bangor and Detroit markets. It appeared that it was WXYZ that pre-
empted the network presentation of Moving and ran 9 to 5 instead.

According to the listings I have found, around this time, WGBS would often run shows between
3-6am. The show I keep seeing listed just says "Beaver". Is it the classic 1957-1963 series or the
1985-1989 revival?
Also, some listings on that channel often have a 30 minute show listed as "Fame". Is it the 1982-
1987 drama series that was actually 60 minutes or is it something else?
If there is anyone here from Philadelphia and it's region, please answer my question! Thanx!

Re: Retro: Eugene, OR with some cable channels, September 13, 1988
Interesting that Eugene carried the SF indie (Ch. 2) and a Canadian channel. When I lived in the
market 10 years later, both were long gone. As was KPTV out of Portland. There was a certain
period in the 80's where imported stations were the norm in Oregon. (I remember watching all
the SF network stations in Medford in the early 80's). But it soon disappeared. I suppose the
local stations started to raise a stink.

Whoever wrote those listings in that 'one word' sure made ESPN's program titles as obtuse as
possible! : Newspaper listings shortening titles has always bugged me.
The 'In PGA Tour' program was 'This Week In The PGA Tour', a weekly magazine/wrapup of the
the previous and preview of the next tournament, that aired til just a few years ago, when the
PGA Tour moved most of its cable coverage to the Golf Channel.
No idea what "Classic" and "Summer" were.

I was living in Michigan at that time, and likewise my cable would carry a wide array of over-the-
air signals from Michigan, Ohio and Canada (I recall having as many as five CBS affiliates at one
time). With a good antenna and tall mast, you could easily pull in over-the-air signals from 100+
miles, which all of the cable operators apparently did. Then they passed Syndex and they were
all forced to start blocking programs and chopping lineups. (in some cases this led to nasty turf-
battles between adjoining local stations over territory, such as WXYZ-7 in Detroit and WJRT-12 in
Flint, both ABC affiliates)

I thought you had left off listings for 13 and 16 at 6 PM when I realized you put their 5:30 shows
after the 5 PM shows... hey, it happens... Thanks for sharing! This one was quite interesting, if
only for just seven hours!

Was the CBS shows in this schedule in pattern? One of the reasons why KXLY lost CBC a couple of
years later was that they aired many CBS programs out of pattern or pre-empted them outright.

I was wondering the same thing when I saw Mary Tyler Moore at 7:30. Spokane is in the Pacific
time zone, so prime-time would have begun at 8pm, and MTM Saturday at 9. But this retro date
was a Friday. Kind of mystifying...

No, it wasn't in pattern -- as I recall, KXLY bumping "Mary Tyler Moore" out of its Saturday
evening slot was one of the reasons why CBS ditched KXLY in favor of KREM. It would never have
been in pattern for "Mary Tyler Moore" to run on a Friday evening at 7:30 PM...not in the Pacific
time zone, or in any other time zone, for that matter.

Re: Retro: Fort Wayne/South Bend/Lima Tues, July 8, 1969
I'm surprised to see WNDU pre-empting "Concentration,"
one of NBC's most popular daytime shows at the time.
I'm not so surprised to see "One Life To Live" pre-empted
on WPTA. In that first year, some ABC affiliates were
squeamish about the multi-ethnic character of the show;
one station in that same part of the country, WLKY Louisville,
didn't carry it at the time and, in the '70s, often ran it in
the morning and substituted movies at 3:30. (I'm not sure,
but I think that even today "As The World Turns" on WLKY,
now a CBS affiliate, beats "OLTL" on WHAS at 2 PM.)

WLOS Asheville didn't even bother picking up "OLTL" until
1973, usually showing "Flintstones" reruns at 3:30 instead.
Even WFTV Orlando, one of the most progressive stations
re civil rights in the '60s, ran "OLTL" in the morning during
its first year. And "OLTL" would draw some temporary
pre-emptions around 1976 because of an interracial romance
plotline, but "All My Children" did the same thing a few years
later to virtually no complaints.

Re: Retro: Fort Wayne/South Bend/Lima Tues, July 8, 1969
Regarding Channel 15...I think the 9AM movie "Zero Hour" was the movie "Airplane!" was based
on. Also, my aunt was on Ann Colone once with some baby pigs. Ann Colone had a long run
during the noon hour, from the late 50's to the early-mid 70s. A lot of the old local talk shows
were phased out around that time when some of the soaps started expanding from 30 minutes
to an hour. IIRC, she was able to get some fairly big-time guests on the show, usually people from
CBS prime-time shows who were "taking one for the team" and visiting the affiliates out in
flyoverland. I remember Jackie Gleason being in studio once, and I also remember her doing
phone interviews with celebrities, back when long distance calls had those tones every minute
or so.
...I also remember her doing phone interviews with celebrities, back when long distance calls
had those tones every minute or so.
If you mean the beep tones, they were every fifteen seconds and were on
all calls broadcast on radio/TV, including local.
I believe, IIRC, that those tones were required if you were recording a phone conversation for
any reason (not just for broadcast) to let the other party know the call was being recorded.
(Otherwise it was illegal.) I haven't hear those tones in ages, so the requirement must have been
dropped at some point.

Is there anyone here from the Philadelphia area that has full listings since the listings I found on
Newspaperarchive.com only lists little of the show titles (i.e. Small Wonder would be S. Wonder,
Three's Company would be 3's Co., etc.)
For the 10am hour, it says "Happening" and "Happening" on back-to-back. Is it the 1976-1979
series that aired at 10am and the 1985-1988 revival on at 10:30am?

I remember those Jim Varney-as-Ernest ads for
"Your Hometown Station." He did some for WYFF/4
in Greenville, SC, "Your Friend Four," as well. And
Andy is as much a fixture at 5:30 on WDBJ as he is
on WFMY, and will probably be for the indefinite future.
I picked up a couple of Adelphia Cable Southwest
Virginia issues around that time. I've always thought
that the "regular" TV Guide should have created an
edition with that same channel lineup that could have
served southwestern Virginia, southern West Virginia,
and northeastern Tennessee (instead of sticking the
Tri-Cities with their own edition). It would have been
a simple trick: take the Central Virginia Edition, add WXLV
and WXIV, then combine with the Bristol/Kingsport/Johnson

City Edition minus Knoxville (WYMT Hazard, KY might have had
to be thrown in).

Recently I have heard something thanks to my cousin who lives there, about the Roanoke
market. No traffic reports !!!! He was telling me that neither WDBJ nor WSLS will do them during
their morning newscasts because they want people to get the feel that the Roanoke Valley is so
laid back. Any truth to that? Come to think of it some years back I was driving through that area
one Wednesday morning listening to Roanoke's news talker WFIR-AM 960 during their Roanoke
Morning News (?) and I noticed a lack of a traffic report on that station.
I know Roanoke isn't the biggest city in Virginia but it isn't a "small town" either so what being
said I am kinda surprised if they didn't do traffic reports since I-581 is a busy expressway there
and for a city of that size Roanoke's downtown and airport are both quite busy. Besides there are
smaller markets that do them...Morgantown, West Virginia is one I can think of.

That Ernest DVD set I mentioned also has some ads for WYFF, as well as KGBT Harlingen and a
channel 24 (in Austin, I think)...

The last I saw none of the Roanoke radio OR TV stations did formal traffic reports. OTOH, if there
is a back-up on 81 or 581 (which is fairly often), or any of the other major arteries, they will
break in and give a full report. During winter weather, both the TV and radio give extensive
reports on 81 conditions. Both WDBJ and WSLS have weather cameras capable of showing traffic
conditions on 581 and they use them when necessary. On a day to day basis, traffic flows pretty
well in Roanoke, so I agree that traffic reports are not necessary every day.

Speaking about WSLS...what was the story about former WSLS weatherguy Mark Lamarre? I
know he was fired some years back over his drug problem ( heroin ) but shortly after him getting
fired the rumor around Roanoke was that he had OD'ed and had died. The rumor was so big as I
can recall that WSLS actually brought him back for a one time appearance to prove to the
viewers that Mark was NOT dead.
Flash forward to a 6 months ago...I was checking out the various Roanoke and Lynchburg news
openings on You Tube. Reading some the posts on You Tube someone had mentioned that WSLS
was so upset about those rumors even though they were about a weatherman who they had
fired in the first place, that WSLS and even WDBJ both teamed up, hired a private investigator in
an effort to track down the person who had started that rumor. Of course the person who had
posted that message didn't say as to if WSLS & WDBJ were successful in their search. Very weird
story. Never heard of a TV station that was so upset about a rumor that they had went as far as
actually spending money trying to find out who it was who had started the rumor.

Wow, was this show in syndication by then, or was WSLS some sort of a secondary Fox affiliate?

As far as the Fox question, Fox was provided by Fox 21/27 (WJPR-WFXR), which ironically has its
news produced by WSLS. Not sure on the syndie question...

Wrestling from Chicago with Jack Brickhouse was on for years locally. I didn't realize it was
telecast elsewhere.

Re: Retro:Cleveland Saturday, April 19, 1952
Wrestling from Chicago was the only DuMont show

WBTV in Charlotte would telecast, despite the fact
that it had a secondary affiliation (CBS being its
primary network). If you believe Jeff Kisseloff's
"The Box," DuMont's people had a time with that
station.
I'm surprised (although I don't know why, since I
saw the same thing in Raleigh and Birmingham in
the late '60s) that WEWS and WXEL (WJW) divided
up ABC and CBS. Even at that early date, there were
enough stations for each to have an exclusive affiliation
(although someone would have had a DuMont secondary).

Univision national feed (Univision wasn't OTA in the area until WBSV switched languages in
2001)
Actually, it was, in the immediate Bay Area; it just never had listings (or a mention) in TVG --
Univision was seen on low-powered WVEA-LP ch.61; like today, it carried much of the national
schedule, plus local news. On cable, however, it was seen only in Hillsborough County --
everywhere else (including Pinellas) got the national feed. In 2001, that station's owners,
Entravision, bought WBSV and moved the transmitter to Riverview, and moved the programming
to ch.62, as WVEA-TV; with the nation now full-powered, it muscled the national feed off cable
marketwide. (WVEA-LP is still on the air today, as a HSN affiliate on ch.46.)

Wow, how soon after the Fox acquisition of WTVT was this? So many sitcom reruns look so
unorthodox on a network affiliate in a major market, even ten years ago.
WTVT switched over in December 1994, as part of the Fox-New World deal.

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay/Southwest Florida Mon, July 14, 1997
Could you please post listings for Saturday 7/12/97?
How did cable distribution work with WRMD-LP 57, the Telemundo affiliate? Both stations were
listed in Akaca TV Magazine, and 57 in the Tampa TV Facts...
At the time, only Time Warner in Hillsborough had them both -- Pinellas and areas outside
Hillsborough only had national Univision and no Telemundo. Today, Bright House and Verizon
carries both local stations on all its systems -- WRMD, I think, had to pay for carriage, being a
LPTV.

What kind of crummy CBS affiliate was this? Sunday night and no
Ed, GE, Hitch, or Line? (Not to mention Lassie-less too.)
If I was Paley's TV net prez, I'd yank their affiliation...or at the
very least prohibit them from using the eyeball in any local ID
slides, promotion, etc.

My thoughts exactly when I posted this.
I don't think there was a lot of love lost
between Taft Broadcasting, which owned
WKYT and WKRC at the time, and CBS; in
1961 Taft switched both stations, and WBRC

Birmingham, from CBS to ABC. WKYT went back
to CBS around 1968 and has been one of the
network's best under Kentucky Central Television,
then Gray Communications. As I'm sure most
people on this website know, WKRC is also back
with CBS and has been since the mid-'90s (WBRC
became a Fox o&o in '94 but its contract with ABC
didn't expire until '96; it's no longer an o&o but is
a Fox affiliate).
Just for the record, in 1958 WKYT carried only a
few CBS programs:
Mon-Fri Daytime 10 AM For Love Or Money
10:30 Play Your Hunch
11 AM Arthur Godfrey
12 N Love Of Life
3:30 Verdict Is Yours
4 PM Brighter Day
4:15 Secret Storm
Primetime
Mon 7:30 Robin Hood

Tue 7:30 Name That Tune
Wed 7:30 Sing Along (a forerunner of "Sing
Along With Mitch," hosted by WNEW
radio disc jockey Jim Lowe, who had
a hit record in 1956 with "Green Door")
Thu none
Fri 8 PM Trackdown
8:30 Destiny (drama anthology
9 PM Phil Silvers (Bilko)
9:30 Schlitz Playhouse Of Stars
Sat all day 11 AM Captain Kangaroo
And what's listed on the schedules I posted.
One does have to wonder how it kept its CBS affiliation
as long as it did.

I never knew that Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme had their own show that long ago. I knew they
were on Steve Allen regularly.

Situation similar to the early days of Akron, Ohio, WAKR-TV 49..from 1953-65 they carried
relatively little ABC programming..especially in Prime-Time, opting for old Movies, syndicated
shows and local programming..I think in Fall 1965 was when they made a big deal out of "Now
carrying the full ABC lineup.."Of course, with WEWS Channel 5 Cleveland so close..it was a rather
unique situation..
I never knew that Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme had their own show that long ago. I knew they
were on Steve Allen regularly.
This show was Steve Allen's summer replacement. Steve (Lawrence)
and Eydie were associated with Allen from the days when he hosted
"The Tonight Show." In one of his books about comedians, Allen
said that Steve Lawrence may have been the most naturally funny
of any of his gang (and with the likes of Don Knotts, Louis Nye, and
Tom Poston, that's saying a lot); he recalled some sort of cast reunion
in which he was speaking and said he'd better hurry up and finish before
his suit went out of style; Lawrence piped up, "That happened several
years ago."
Interesting--thanks for that info.

Just curious, bpatrick...what ABC-TV shows were being shown on WAVE-TV and WHAS-TV
Louisville at the time of WLKY-TV's sign on September 16, 1961 and, therefore, had to move to
WLKY (ABC primary)?
(For those not in the know, Louisville was one of the largest and last 2 commercial station
markets...a try at ABC-TV affiliation by WKLO-TV, Channel 21, in 1953 was short-lived due to poor
UHF market penetration and the politically-inspired switching of Channel 7 from Louisville to
Evansville.)
Besides "The Lawrence Welk Show," hadn't ABC shows already been purged from WHAS (CBS
primary) and WAVE (NBC primary)?

Friday, Charlie Chan or Boston Blackie..."-Jerry Leiber, 1956

When and where would it have moved if it
was a regular, full-power station, given that
70-83 were reassigned to translator status
(I know that CITY Toronto had to move from
79 to 57)?
The station moved down to Channel 54 in 1982.

Re: Retro: South Texas Saturday, July 22, 1978
Boy... I don't know what was a bigger mess, the secondary network programming arrangements
on so many channels, or... NBC's Saturday morning lineup alone! "Baggy Pants and the Nitwits"?
Does anyone think a show like this would get greenlighted in 2009?

Channels 23 in Brownsville, 25 in Waco, and 27 in
Laredo (briefly an ABC affiliate before switching to
Spanish-language programming) were still in the future;
also, the Waco stations were on cable in some parts of
that edition's coverage area and were eventually dropped.
All I remember about "Baggy Pants And The Nitwits" is
that it was supposed to be a nod to Charlie Chaplin.
I was never much of an NBC fan on Saturdays, and at
that point all I watched was "The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner
Show" (which had about 50% of its audience made up of
people over 18, as I was).

In this day and age nothing should come as a surprise. For example there is that new ABC sitcom
with Courtney Cox called "Cougar Town". Isn't that show about some 40 year old woman who
has the hots for a high school teenage boy? The Wikipedia page for "Cougar Town" isn't much
but those promos..well....
Anyway if a show like "Cougar Town" can get greenlighted..why not "Baggy Pants and the
Nitwits"?

...which describes the "Baggy Pants" part of the show. "The Nitwits" are Tyrone and Gladys (Arte
Johnson and Ruth Buzzi) from "Rowan and Martin's Laugh In" -- now animated, and now
supersheroes.

KIII Ch. 3 Corpus Christi (ABC)
12:40 Church Service: Church of Christ (a
denomination big in Texas and the
Deep South)
Growing up in South Texas, I remember that well. Weber Road Church of Christ would have a 5
minute sermon on Saturday & Sunday nights just before sign off featuring the Rev. George
Pledger. I did some checking, and Rev. Pledger recently celebrated 45 years at the church (the
same amount of time KIII has been on the air) and his messages still appear on Channel 3.

Hmm...interesting fact about that ABC Newscast. If memory serves, ABC didn't launch a Saturday
newscast until early 1985 when World News Saturday launched(even then, ABC didn't even have
a full Sunday newscast until WNT Sunday launched in January 1979), and even then it was just
"The Weekend Report" which normally ran late nights.

Those 15-minute late-night newscasts on ABC weekends
were an outgrowth of its nightly late-night newscast (roughly
1962-65); in January 1965 ABC made the change from nightly
to weekends only, and that lasted until 1991. Increasingly,

affiliates delayed the newscast until just before sign-off or
pre-empted it altogether; such lack of interest led to the
late newscast's demise, as it did CBS's on Sunday nights.
ABC first got into the early weekend news scene with "The
Reasoner Report" in 1973. Mostly a magazine show focusing
on Watergate, it failed to attract enough affiliates and was
turned into a straight newscast in 1975 (Ted Koppel anchored
at one point). By 1979 the Saturday newscast had been discontinued,
but one had started on Sunday; ABC did not have another early-
Saturday-evening newscast until 1985.
During the 1975-79 period I got four ABC affiliates: WXIA Atlanta,
WLOS Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville, WFAA Dallas/Ft. Worth,
and KSAT San Antonio. Only KSAT carried ABC's newscast; WXIA
carried local news; WLOS and WFAA carried "The Gong Show" from
1976.

Interesting lineup. BTW where are the other stations in the Memphis Edition and can you post
what the Memphis/Mid-South stations were airing on the weekends at the time of this printing?
Thanks.

A question, then a tidbit:
1. What did Ch. 13 run in place of
"Valentine's Day" on Fridays? If
it was like Atlanta's Ch. 11, which
delayed it until Saturday at 10:30,
I'm betting it was a movie.
2. "Our Private World" was CBS's attempt
to mount a prime-time soap a la ABC's
hit "Peyton Place." It reached over to
its then-most-popular daytime soap, "As
The World Turns," and spun off the character
of Lisa (Eileen Fulton). Whether because the

show debuted in the summer or the erratic
scheduling (9:30 ET on Wednesday, 9 PM ET
on Friday), the show never caught on, and Lisa's
been back on "ATWT" ever since, but since she's
now well into her 70s they're not giving her a great
deal to do.

Boy, would you look at WMCT's sked. First off, the station pre-empts the first half hour of
"Today" for its own local show, one that apparently didn't make the end of the decade, since it
would not be until 1980 or so before the station tried again with "Wake-Up Call."
I thought Central Time Zone affils invariably put news on at Noon sharp back in those days, but I
have been proved wrong. The 90-minute syndie Mike Douglas until 1:30? I would have to guess
that "Let's Make a Deal" (12:30 on NBC in those days) was a flop in the Mid-South when it
premiered right after Christmas '63, and WMCT, unlike other NBC affils such as WSB in Atlanta
and WHO in Des Moines, didn't think movies would fit there. So, it probably tried the Douglas
show as an experiment; I surely can't see that having lasted more than a year or so, as NBC
would have surely gotten on the station's case for not clearing "Days of Our Lives," when that
show debuted later in that year.
And the mother of all kiddie show titles at 3:30, "Loony Zoo with Trent Wood." Speaking of
mothers, I wonder what some of them thought about their "young uns" watching such a show.
Of course, what means one thing to children means another thing to adults with an ironic
imagination (read: insane asylum), so perhaps nobody fussed about it.
Now I can see the roots of WMCT/WMC's disloyalty to NBC, but one thing has to be kept in
mind. The station was likely at the time the market's top-rated in most if not all dayparts, and it
therefore had considerable leverage to do what it wanted. By the 1970s, ABC affil WHBQ had
probably taken over the top spot (albeit barely) and, like WMCT, flexed its muscles by vetoing
shows it thought weren't doing well nationally or were offensive to local mores.
If a network got upset in those days about a station's preemption practices, what could it do
other than try to get a rival in that same town to break its contract with another network? It
wasn't an easy thing to do with only three commercial channels (sometimes not even that, in
smaller areas) on the dial. So the networks had to put up with it except in egregious cases (such
as Spokane, Wash.'s KXLY in the mid-1970s, when CBS pulled the plug) where contract terms
were being explictly violated. It boggles the mind, but many ABC affils did not clear the
network's evening news until well into the early 1970s, and one would think carriage of evening
news would be mandatory in a standard affiliation contract. There are plenty of examples too
numerous to mention here.
Anybody else have any thoughts about WMCT's ways?

When "Let's Make A Deal" debuted, it was
on against "Password" at 1 PM (CT), then was
moved to 12:30 against "As The World Turns."
The two CBS shows were, IIRC, recording shares
in the 50s, so even though "Deal" cut into the
audiences for both, "ATWT" may have been so
popular in Memphis that WMC didn't dare run a
network show against it, just as WSB would not
air network programs between noon and 2 until
"Days Of Our Lives" went to an hour and moved
to 1:30; WAGA, with such classics as "Love Of
Life," "Search For Tomorrow," "Guiding Light,"
"As The World Turns," and (starting in '76) "The
Young And The Restless," had to have been too
strong at midday. Also, before the WSB/WXIA
switch, "Ryan's Hope" and "All My Children" were
the only ABC soaps WXIA hung onto until the
bitter end, so they had to have been performing
well also.
Re ABC affiliates not carrying the network news,
there were those (like WXIA) that dropped the
newscast when Frank Reynolds took over in 1968
and began doing commentaries that some owners
felt were too liberal. But ABC got a ratings boost

when it teamed Howard K. Smith and Harry Reasoner
in December 1970, and at the '71 ABC affiliates' meeting,
Reasoner chewed out those stations that were still
holding out. Ironically, one of the last two stations to
pick up Smith and Reasoner (in August '72) was WBRC
Birmingham, the same station that had dropped CBS in
1961 in part over Smith's critical report on the racial
tension there.
Back to WMC, I keep thinking there were whole blocks
of NBC morning programming they pre-empted in the '80s.

On another thread it was mention how Howard Hughes would call up Las Vegas' KLAS-TV and
more/less played "program director" by forcing KLAS to air what HE wanted to see. of course
Hughes had actually owned KLAS at the time.
Even though he didn't own any of the Memphis stations, for some reason I seem to recall
reading in a few of those Elvis Presely books in the past that made a claim that Elvis, a guy who
slept during the day but stayed up all night, sometimes he was known to call up one of the
Memphis TV stations ( I believe it was WHBQ ) and have them air shows in the middle of the
night after they "sign-off"...just for Elvis.
Wonder what shows Elvis had requested to see IF this is even true? Somehow I have my doubts
since Elvis Presley was one of the first celebrities to have owned a his very own video tape
recorder ( mid 60s ), why would he even bother calling up a TV station and have them to air
special programming..just for him.

Your examples of Howard Hughes and Elvis are a little beside my point. What I was referring to
was preempting network feeds to a station. Hughes' demands and the alleged whims of Elvis
took place overnight, after network programming had stopped for the day. Neither CBS'
relationship with KLAS nor ABC's with WHBQ would have been at stake, as neither station would
have denied its respective network access to its airwaves.
Put simply, stations in those days apparently had leeway to produce or buy their own
programming to substitute for the network's offering at a given time slot, if the station figured,
by a reasonable calculation, that it could make more money selling local spot advertising than
carrying a low-rated show that brought in a smaller fee from the network. This made sense back
in older times when stations had little competition, and thus feared little about viewer
disaffection. Today, with people having hundreds upon hundreds of options on cable/satellite,
both stations and networks are scared stiff, eliminating much if not all of their old antagonisms.
This is the main reason you see very few preemptions of the network feed today from an
affiliate. The only times a station will stop network programming is for news and severe weather
bulletins, something networks have always allowed their stations to do (per FCC mandates for a
licensee to serve its community).
That ought to clear the air a bit ...

Your examples of Howard Hughes and Elvis are a little beside my point. What I was referring to
was preempting network feeds to a station. Hughes' demands and the alleged whims of Elvis

I understand exactly what you are saying. Just wondering at the time of these listings if Elvis
Presley really had the power to get WHBQ to air say "TV Bingo" or even "Shindig" at 3am just so
Elvis could watch it?

When I get a little more time, I'll post the weekend schedule from this TV Guide and the other
two stations listed in this edition which were WDXI 7 in Jackson which was primary CBS in those
years and WTWV 9 in Tupelo. KAIT in Jonesboro was on the air but wasn't listed in 1965.
My next Memphis TV Guide is from January 1966 and WMCT is by then showing all 2 hours of
the Today Show. In January 1966, they are also clearing Let's Make A Deal and Days Of Our Lives,
but by September of 1966 they are showing Merv Griffin from Noon to 1:30 pm.
In September of 1967, they start clearing Days Of Our Lives again permanently.
On Friday night, channel 13 showed an hour Son Of Hercules movie instead of Valentine's Day
and F.D.R.
My guess is that Elvis getting any Memphis tv station to sign on in the middle of the night is
strictly urban legend. I've never heard from a reliable source that this ever happened. Elvis did
get local movie theaters to open up and show him movies in the middle of the night and often
got the amusement park at the Fairgrounds to stay open over night just for him and his
entourage.

Thanks Brian. BTW I noticed WHBQ not airing ABC News or a 5 or 6 PM newscast. Plus when
WMCT (Later WMC-TV) start going to a 5 to 6 PM newscast and when WREC (WREG) went to a 6
PM newscast? Just curious.

Likewise, thanks for the info on Ch. 13's Friday-night
schedule. "FDR" was either pre-empted or aired on
Sunday afternoons on a number of stations (including
mine: WRAL and WGHP, both of which ran it on Sundays).
Apparently, some affiliate managers felt that a historical
documentary in primetime would be "boring," even though
ABC had had success a few years earlier with "Winston
Churchill: The Valiant Years" (produced by the same team
that produced "FDR"). CBS had the same problem with
"World War I," moving it in midseason from Tuesdays at 8
to Sundays at 6:30.

a.k.a. the "Memphis Mafia"! ;D
r (Scripps owned, and still does, the Commercial Appeal, and owned its afternoon "competitor"
the Press-Scimitar until 1983), in the 1970s, so S-H obviously had a lot of clout in Washington
then. I seriously doubt a mom-and-pop small-market UHF outlet could have gotten any calls it
wanted, either due to high fees or lack of influence by a congressman or senator.
Three-letter calls ... now that's a good subject for a thread all its own.

Stations like WSMV went to four-letter calls because

of the crossownership rule. National Life and Accident Insurance
Company's ownership of the WSM radio/TV combo was not grandfathered
in, apparently, and they kept the WSM call letters for radio.
A couple other examples that come to mind are WGRZ (originally WGR)
Buffalo, and KIDK (originally KID) Idaho Falls. Some three-letter calls
that were changed to four letters having no relation to the original
would include KHJ (KCAL) Los Angeles, and KOA (KCNC) and KLZ (KMGH)
Denver. Yet the radio stations hold onto the three-letter calls.
Yet there has been some movement back the other way; WJW/8 Cleveland
was WJKW for a time but is back to its original call letters; WWJ was Channel
4 in Detroit before Post-Newsweek bought it and changed the call letters to
WDIV. But WWJ is now the CBS o&o on Channel 62.
WBTV Charlotte might have been WBT-TV, but during the licensing process
in the late '40s someone decided that WBTV came off the tongue better, and
so it became...and still is.

Interesting stuff! It was my understanding that WMC was named for the Memphis Commercial, a
newspaper that merged with the Daily Appeal to become the Commercial Appeal. I just assumed
that the extra "T" was for "television" and the "F" was for "FM." (It is interesting to note that
there was (and I believe still is) a radio station bearing the call letters WMPS, for Memphis Press
Scimitar.)
Meanwhile, WMCT is now the call letters of a radio station in Mountain City, Tennessee, at the
opposite end of the state from Memphis!

And there are those, including folks here in Nashville (!), who think WSM and WSMV are still
jointly owned! : Several years ago, when WSM flirted with the idea of dropping its country
format, WSMV's message board was crammed with messages complaining about it! >And when
WSM recently dismissed Keith Bilbrey, someone posted a comment under the WSMV story
about it that they would no longer watch channel 4 because of it! :
I posted a message thread here, maybe a year or so ago, about three-letter call-letter combos. I
think it was on the "business of radio" board here. If any of you can still find it, you are welcome
to bring it back.

Well, that's one thing Elvis and I have in common! We both rode that roller coaster! ;D Later
known as the Zippin Pippin at Libertyland. Only difference is, they didn't open it specifically for
me. But then again, I was only about seven at the time! ;D

Its more/less the same thing in Buffalo with WKBW-TV and WWKB radio AM 1520. There are
those who still think the two are still jointly owned even though they havent been for over 20
years now.
Of course one cant really blame people for thinking that way. When Buffalo's 1520 AM did oldies
some years back, they were airing the old WKBW jingles ( EX: "....KB Radio 15...W K B W" ) even
though the call letters were ( still is ) WWKB. Even though 1520 has since went talk, I believe
they still use the letter's "KB" when they promote themselves.
And on top of that the last time I was in Buffalo ( 2006 ), their channel 7 was still calling
themesleves right on the air.."WKBW" not hidden in the background like what Washington DC's
WRC-TV does.
Of course there was that Jim Carrey flick "Bruce Almighty". Since the call letters "WKBW" were
mentioned in that movie, I wonder how many people in Buffalo who went to see that movie
really believed that longtime WKBW/WWKB radio morning guy Danny Nevereth would be
making an appearance in "Bruce Almighty"?
Channel 13 showed F.D.R. on Sunday nights at 10 pm.
By January 1966, Channel 13 is carrying the still 15 minute ABC evening news hosted by Peter
Jennings.
1967 was the year that WMCT became WMC-TV. I believe on January 1. I always thought the 3
letters sounded better, so I've always wondered why KNXT wasn't KNX-TV or WLWT wasn't WLW-
TV.
Sometime in the Fall of 1968, Channel 5 started a 5 pm newscast with NBC News at 5:30 and
another local newscast at 6 pm (like they do today). On June 7, 1971 they started carrying a full
hour of news at 5 pm and delayed NBC News until 6.
Channel 3 moved their 5 pm news to 6 pm sometime between January and September of 1972.
One thing that I think is pretty unique about Memphis is that all 3 stations in the 1970s and
1980s did a Noon newscast.
5 started their Noon news on September 4, 1967, 3 on February 10, 1969 and 13 on June 12,
1972.
Does anyone know of any other market during that era where all 3 network stations had a Noon
news.

Good question !!!
I can tell you two who didn't. Washington and Baltimore !!
Back in the 60's really the only local station that did offer a newscast at Noon was DC's ABC
affiliate WMAL ( now WJLA ). However the region still had news during the lunch time..if 1pm is
considered since that was the time when Baltimore's ABC ( WJZ ) and Washington's CBS
( WTOP/WUSA ) offered their "midday" newscast.
On the flip side of this is Virginia.
For some reason the local TV stations in Virginia were very late in the game to offer a local
newscast at Noon. There was a time in the early 80s when Norfolk's WTKR channel 3 actually
bragged about having the only local Noon newscast in the entire state of Virginia..5 days a week.
The "five days a week" line was aimed at Norfolk's WAVY channel 10 who for some unknown
reason didn't offer a Noon newscast on Fridays ( they just aired what NBC was airing ) however
they did offer Noon news Monday thru Thursday.
The Virginia ABC affiliates, none of them offered any news at Noon at all since all of them had
stayed with ABC's Family Feud ) but that would change in the mid 80s when Norfolk's WVEC
started a midday newscast at 11:30am but that was quickly moved to Noon and soon the other
ABC affiliates followed suit.

Around the same time in Chicago ABC owned WBKB channel 7 became WLS-TV.

I remember that WHBQ kept "Family Feud" at
12:30 (CT) even after it was airing at 11 AM

on the network; IIRC, Ch. 13 ran "All My Children"
at 11, followed by news at noon, then "Feud."
Don't remember if they carried "Ryan's Hope" at all.
The first market I recall where all three affiliates had
noon newscasts was (where else?) Atlanta, starting
in the fall of 1972. WQXI (WXIA) (ABC then) had had
a 12:30 newscast since 1970, and would later try it
at 11:30 AM (1975) without success. Orlando, I
remember, staggered its midday news: noon on WFTV
(ABC), 12:30 on WESH (NBC), 1 PM on WDBO (WKMG)
(CBS).

at 11, followed by news at noon, then "Feud."
Don't remember if they carried "Ryan's Hope" at all.
If WHBQ picked up "Ryan's Hope" at all, it would've been for a very brief time - different
timeslot, for instance.
Between 1972 and 1977, 13 preempted the first 30-60 minutes of ABC daytime, airing their
"Dialing for Dollars Movie" from 9-11 (CT), and AMC in the noon slot. When that soap expanded,
13 went to a very crazy scheme ... going from memory here, as I don't have any issues from ca.
1977 handy:
9:00 - Happy Days (delayed from 10:00)
9:30 - Family Feud (delayed from 10:30)
10:00 - Dialing for Dollars Movie
12:00 - News
12:30 - All My Children (bumped from 12:00)
1:30 - regular ABC in pattern.
At that point, 13 was preempting three shows - "Ryan's Hope", "Pyramid" and whatever show-
of-the-week was on at 11:00 CT ("Better Sex", "Hot Seat", etc.)
By 1980, 13 was clearing every ABC daytime show except one - usually "Ryan's Hope" AMC aired
on a one-day delay at 11:00, with "Feud" bumped to 12:30 after news. Curiously, the exact same
schedule took place 70 miles away at KAIT-8 in Jonesboro, Ark., which also had a nooncast. This
took place throughout the entire 1980s.
One memory of all this takes me back to the mid '80s, while at college in Jonesboro. The local
cable picked up three ABCs - the local channel 8, of course, plus WHBQ-13 and KATV-7/Little
Rock. And 7 aired AMC in pattern. I knew a couple of "All My Children" fans at the time, and they
loved this arrangement, especially when they had alternating-day classes at noon ... they could
watch AMC one day on 7 live, and then get a double-dose two days later, catching up on their fix.

I remember seeing the Memphis edition of TV Guide
from time to time and remember KAIT carrying "Feud"
at 12:30, even after ABC put it at 11 AM. When we
lived in Dallas, my dad would bring back the Arkansas
edition when he went to Little Rock, and I recall that
KATV ran the entire ABC daytime schedule in pattern
with the exception of "Edge Of Night," which it ran
at 9:30 AM.
If anybody in my dorm had thought about it, they
could have watched "One Life To Live" on WLOS
a day ahead of its airing on WXIA. We had people
who preferred to watch "The Young And The Restless"
at noon on WSPA ("Y&R" was still a half-hour) rather

than 1 PM on WAGA. To each his/her own, I suppose.

Didn't the network affiliates (especially O&O WCAU) carry overnight news shows from their
networks? What's your source for this schedule?

Fyi, the listings there aren't full listings so I don't know what shows are what due to lack of
description... But I have figured most of 'em out!

I can tell just by looking at WPVI's ABC primetime ("T.G.I.F.") lineup that these listings are from a
Friday night. There are no overnight network news feeds on Friday or Saturday nights.

2:00

IIRC, "H.R." on WCBD at 4 PM was Happy Raine,
a genuine Native American woman who was on
WCSC for years before changing stations.
I have a feeling that "Sadie Oglesby's Scrapbook"
(or whatever it was at 6:55 AM on WCSC) may have
been tidbits of Charleston lore; there's a lot of history
and tradition there.

(4) Please Don't Eat the Daisies--rerun of 1965-67 NBC family sitcom that revolved around two
twin boys
Wow, I don't remember that show being rerun circa 1980 -- after its network run, I thought it
had more or less disappeared until WWOR ran it for a time on its satellite service in the 90's (one
of those cheap, obscure old shows that they ran when the terrestrial OTA feed had protected
syndicated programming). Was this syndicated, or was NBC really airing reruns of this sappy, very
60's show 13 years after its demise?
(4) [26] Password Plus--the legendary Allen Ludden kept presiding over "the war of the words"
until his illness the following year
Though I was in no wise a game show geek, I did enjoy Password, and always thought Ludden
was one of the classiest, wittiest hosts on TV. They don't make 'em like that no more...
(16) (27) Electric Company--for some reason, these two stations had a different feed from the
rest of South Carolina ETV during parts of the day
There are four SCETV stations (WNSC Rock Hill, WRJA Sumter, WRET Spartanburg, and WJWJ
Beaufort) that have their own studio facilities and the ability to substitute alternate
programming of a more local/regional nature. All other SCETV stations are basically passive
repeaters of flagship WRLK Columbia.

[11] [12] (19) CBS Evening News--Walter Cronkite, Ed Bradley at New York desk
Was Uncle Walter in Washington that week -- is that why Bradley was at the NY desk? Frankly, I
don't remember Cronkite ever sharing anchor duties -- wherever he was (NY, DC, or on location
somewhere), he still anchored the whole show...right?
(2) [6] (25) That's Incredible!--well, sometimes it was, while at other times, it was downright silly

A reminder for those who erroneously view "reality TV" as a 21st-Century phenomenon...
(2) [6] [22] (25) ABC News Special--"The Iran Crisis--America Held Hostage" (would be renamed
"Nightline" the following week)
I may be wrong (it's been known to happen), but I thought it wasn't converted to Nightline until
the Iran hostage crisis ended the following January? Or did it just change title, but continue to
focus exclusively on the hostage crisis until then?

Re: Retro: South Carolina--Mon, Mar 17, 1980
Yes, Happy Raine was just ending her long run at WCBD, as her show ended in 1980. She had a
run on WCSC again, as she came back in '93-'94 to do a show.
Only WTOC televises the St. Patty's Day parade now, I believe, WSAV had some coverage this
year, but not as much as before. Savannah was always a quirkier market, as until very recently
(maybe still now), the two powerful VHFs didn't even have stereo on their signals, while the also-
ran UHF, WJCL, had stereo (now has HD newscasts).
WPDE had not signed on the air yet (they signed on in November '80), and the Pee Dee and
Grand Strand was relying on WCBD, WWAY, and even WSOC(among others) for ABC shows.
Charleston was even wackier, as WCSC was truly the 800-pound gorilla of TV in the area. It was
on cable as far away as Barnwell (about 45 miles from Augusta) and Sumter, and Bill Sharpe,
Charlie Hall, and Warren Peper were the big team on TV even then. 2 and 4 were so far behind,
that in the mid 80s ('83 or '84, I believe), they dropped their 11pm news for a short time, and 5
had the only 11pm news.
Surprising even 4 had a noon show during this time period, as they haven't had that in many
years.
O.K. Stanislav, I shall respond one by one:
(1) I remember "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" on WSM-TV in Nashville on Sunday mornings circa
1979, and I have seen it several times in the TV Guides I have from other markets in the late
1970s. MGM had/has the rights to that show, and it may well have been part of a larger package,
as I do not recall it being popular, say, in the early 1970s. Nostalgia for those happier, more
sedate times may have prompted stations to consider saccharine sitcoms like that, especially
when you consider what America was going through at the time (high inflation, unemployment,
the Iranian hostage crisis, etc.)
(2) I say Amen and Amen. Regis, try hard as he might, couldn't quite fill Ludden's shoes in that
'07-'08 fusion of "Millionaire" and "Password" on CBS. Unlike you, I am a "game show geek" and
long for the old days of a morning full of them on NBC and several to choose from during Prime
Time Access (not just "Wheel of Fortune").
(3) Thanks for that info about SCETV. That somewhat parallels the situation, coincidentally, with
some of the Georgia Public Broadcasting stations.
(4) One wonders if CBS actually did promote that as "special" when it first ran--or whether CBS
promoted it at all.
(5) My source for that listing was the Vanderbilt TV News Archive (I research all of the network
newscasts there). This was the evening before Illinois held its Presidential primary, and Cronkite
was situated in Chicago for that broadcast, as well as the next evening. Bradley just minded the
store back on West 57th while Cronkite was gone. I suspect that CBS was also feeling ABC's heat
and decided to dabble in trying out a multi-anchor format (a la "World News Tonight"), and this
was a good occasion to do so.
From now on I will make notations if the lead anchor broadcasted anywhere other than New
York (or Washington, in the case of David Brinkley or Howard K. Smith). Sorry about the
confusion.
(6) You are so right. In fact, the first highly popular "reality show" was probably "Candid
Camera," but that's another thread.
(7) As for "Nightline," two sources I have consulted indicate that ABC began using that title on
March 24, 1980. Ted Koppel became host back in November. I very well suspect that the bulk, if
not the entirety, of the reporting during the first several weeks continued to concern the hostage
crisis.
How's all that for meticulousness?

How's all that for meticulousness?
Meticulous or fanatical (all of us on this board probably straddle that fence...) ;D
Am I weird, or was Pat Crowley actually kinda hot in her PDETD days? In sort of a MILF-ish way?
(And, BTW, still quite lovely...she was *73* in this Port Charles publicity pic from 2002!)

"Tonight...on a VERY SPECIAL EPISODE(tm) of Good Times..." :

This must be a syndicated rerun, as Good Times left CBS in August 1979. This episode was likely
one part of a two-part episode from 1974, "The Gang".

It's so sad with Walter Cronkite dying a few days ago, with colleagues like Ed Bradley dying
before him. Bill Sharpe, who was and still is a news anchor at WCSC, interviewed him several
times in the 1980s and 90s.

I used to have the book "Hey There Boys & Girls !! America's Local Children's TV Programs" by
Tim Hollis. According to the book, many many local kids shows had came to an end around
1973/1974 thanks to Action for Children's Television ( ACT ) and how that group didn't like how
such shows would sell stuff to kids mainly junk food. Even though Hollis didn't say it, to me it
seemed that a lot of local TV stations were simply scared of ACT so they dropped their local kids
shows even though some local stations simply ignored ACT like Phoenix's KPHO which kept
Wallace & Ladmo on the air until 1989 even though Wallace & Ladmo was exactly the type of
show ACT didn't like such as the giving away of those "Ladmo Bags" for example.
Its good to see that at least some local stations like WIS had decided to keep their local kids
shows on the air longer than most others did. Even though of course sooner or later most local
TV stations would have gotten out of the local children's TV show game sooner or later, I still
believe most of the kid shows from the 60s & early 70s..well they could have lasted another five
years or so maybe ten, only if the local stations just wasn't so scared of Peggy Charren and
Action for Children's Television.

"Please Don't Eat The Daisies" aired on Ch. 44 in
St. Petersburg in the early '70s. But it's a difficult
show to "strip" (show five days a week) because
it lasted only two seasons (1965-67, falling victim
to Jackie Gleason's revived "Honeymooners" on CBS
and "The Newlywed Game" on ABC Saturday nights
in its second year).

Action for Children's Television.
I haven't read Hollis' book, but I have read in one of my old TV Guides from circa 1973 pretty
much the same argument. While it is true that stations lost a great deal of incentive to produce
kiddie shows when the FCC (not just from the pressure of ACT) finally banned hosts from
promoting products on air, I think there were other factors at work as well:
1) It is easy for us amateur broadcast historians to overlook the impact of the ban of cigarette
advertising that took effect for radio and TV stations in the U.S. on January 2, 1971. This created
not only a considerable loss of revenue for the networks, but also for local stations. Cost-cutting
thus became a great imperative, in some cases for the first time since the early days of a
particular station's operations.
Most of the local kiddie shows aired between 4 and 6 p.m. Eastern, between the end of the
daytime network feed and the evening newscasts, a rather low-rated part of the day in terms of
sheer numbers in front of the tube. Many stations also had at least one, if not more, non-news
local production between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. (e.g., women's shows, farm reports) and felt they
could not afford to sacrifice any of those (the late 1970s and early 1980s saw those two
programming types collapse or morph into other forms), given audience loyalty and long-term
sponsorship in most cases. In a few cases at least, such shows outperformed network offerings
on rival stations.
The product-pitching pan comes into play at this point, where in most cases, sponsors just simply
dropped out of a show, figuring it not to be worth it if the tykes at home didn't get it straight
from the host himself (and that is not sexist, as most hosts, other than those on "Romper
Room," were usually men). When shown the hard facts, station managers saw it as a, in current-
day terms, "no-brainer"--public-service concern for kids or families did not enter into the
equation.
2) Another overlooked cause, and one related to the first one, was the emergence of a large
variety of cheap or free syndicated reruns of kid-friendly fare such as "Andy Griffith," "Gilligan's
Island," "I Dream of Jeannie," "Green Acres," and so on. This catalog of oldies didn't really exist
up until the late 1960s, by which time numerous shows had come and gone in prime time. Put
that together with a rival station experimenting with unhosted cartoons simply rolling off a film
chain, and a station manager had another argument for pulling "Cowboy Bob" at 4 in favor of
"Gomer Pyle" ("Cowboy Bob" was the fictional hero idolized by the comic strip character "Dennis
the Menace" in the 1960s).
3) Production necessities brought on by the increased use of videotape in the early 1970s, and
the consequent use of a particular studio for other types of shows on a station created another
issue. As Hollis pointed out on his "Birmingham Rewound" nostalgia website in an interview he
did with a former "Romper Room" TV teacher,
(http://www.birminghamrewound.com/fea...mper-carol.htm), the increasing practice of sending
four-to-six-year-olds to nursery school and kindergarten in the early 1970s (this author was one
of them) meant that much of the potential studio audience for a show could not be present
during taping, which often had to take place during the middle of the day around the schedules
of the live daytime shows and/or other taped programs such as weekly public affairs. This reason
builds upon the first two in that a station's priority placed upon the kiddie show was not
particularly strong by the early 1970s, as it had been before the mid-1960s, when stations had to
do EVERYTHING live.
4) A final reason, albeit a minor one, was that kids were starting to get too sophisticated "for
their britches." With TV now a major agent of socialization in the home rather than an
occasional pastime, as it had been for their older brothers and sisters, kids were seeing more
and more "adult" content more and more hours per day, making the classic clowning, birthday,
and moral lesson fare of the traditional shows passe and boring to many of them. This
anticipated the rise of the video-game and MTV era of the 1980s by about a decade. From this
standpoint, Charren and ACT's efforts on controlling commercialism were probably futile and
obsolete.
So, the ban on product pitching was not so much a cause for the precipitous decline in the genre
as it was a catalyst, speeding up a process that had begun some time earlier. WIS' "Mr. Knozit"
survived because of the exceptional situation of the Columbia market, in that WIS had so large a
share of the audience (and may still do) at all times of the day against two weak UHFs, that it
could afford to lose sponsorships on that program, unlike stations in more competitive markets.
It is likely Pinner, unlike other hosts, took a sportsman-like attitude toward the whole thing, and
complied: the TV Guide article I referred to earlier was full of griping from disgruntled hosts
elsewhere, and understandably so if they had no other jobs at their respective stations and got
pink slips as a result. In any case, he was an exception to the rule. As for the Phoenix hosts,
perhaps they toned their giveaways down (or discontinued them for some time) during the
1970s until deregulation came in the early 1980s when the pitching ban was not so firmly
enforced. A few examples of some survivors of the ban can be found across the country, but
there were not many of them.

Maybe it was the case with the networks themselves but I am not so sure if the local stations
themsevles experienced a large loss of revenue over the ending of cigarette ads. As I mentioned
before some local stations had already ban such ads from their airwaves well before 1971 such
as Baltimore for example when cigarette ads were dropped by their local TV stations there in
1968. In 1969 such ads were banned from local Denver TV as well. Last year the Rocky Mountain
News ran an article about Denver's 1969 ban on TV cigarette ads, in their case the local stations
simply offered more airtime for local businesses to advertise their goods and services. Not much
of a loss there if there was in the first place. Of course the News didn't expalin how the Denver
stations responded with such ads when they had aired on the NETWORK level. Did they air
them? Blocked out?
Then again it was already known as early as 1968 that cigarette ads would be banned by 1971
anyway so I would imagine the networks and pretty much all of the local stations were already
finding ways to replace that revenue.

With KPHO's Wallace & Ladmo...some years back I saw an episode from 1977 ( complete with
local commericals and old KPHO promos ) on You Tube...they were still doing the give-away of
those famous "Ladmo Bags". Hollis book more/less claimed that KPHO simply ignored the rules
since Wallace & Ladmo was such a big hit in Phoenix and with rock singer Alice Cooper who at
one point in the 80's actually wanted to get a piece of the action so he could syndicate Wallace &
Ladmo to other markets around the country. Wallace & Ladmo said no and they wanted their
show to be strictly Phoenix and Phoenix only.

I think there are some well-taken points here,
but since the late '80s or early '90s the 5 PM
newscast has become almost standard in the
Eastern time zone (it already was in the earlier
time zones), so the 4-5 PM lead-in has to be
compatible; hence, Oprah, the various court shows,

etc. Even CW and MyNetwork affiliates are doing
this, even if they don't do news at 5. So that
eliminates the possibility of kid-friendly shows in
the 4 PM hour.
But here's one to think about: back in the '70s
and early '80s in Raleigh-Durham, WTVD carried
Merv Griffin from 4:30-6, demographically a good
lead-in to the station's news and the number-one
show in total homes in the time slot. WRAL countered
with sitcom reruns like Andy Griffith, "Happy Days," and
"Sanford And Son," and got the bulk of the ad business,
because those shows skewed younger, and it didn't
hurt that WRAL is the traditional news leader in
the market, though not by much. By the '90s
both stations had started 5 PM newscasts, WTVD was
carrying Oprah (still is), and WRAL was sticking to its
sitcoms (now "Golden Girls" and "The Cosby Show")...
only now the sitcoms didn't work and WRAL ended up
moving "The Young And The Restless" to 4 PM, where
it noses out Oprah.
A long way from Captain Five and Paul Pioneer in the '60s.

Responses for you, mleach:
1) You have a point, and I think it all amounts to perhaps a larger factor that I overlooked: the
beginnings of the 1970s recessions, which, like today, took a considerable toll on general station
revenues. Ads were beginning to drop all over the board, not just on tobacco products.
Whatever the reason, stations got squeezed and had to make cuts somewhere.
Besides, Ms. Charren and ACT, to use an indelicate expression, were probably in the bed with the
Corporation for Public Broadcasting and PBS, wanting to eliminate commercial competition for
the educational shows that were being highly touted at the time by TV critics and all manner of
do-gooders, or else make commercial stations' shows practically identical to them. Some stations
may well have thought the future lay with PBS and might have been anticipating that the FCC
would eventually relieve them of the burden of serving children, which in effect happened
during the Reagan administration.
2) Apparently, those "Ladmo Bags" got under the FCC radar and eluded their purview. Other
than that, the station owners must have had savvy Washington attorneys who knew how to beat
the rap.
Um ... the possibility of Alice Cooper doing a kiddie show??? Man, that's worth another thread
unto itself! Just think of the title: "School's Out Forever." (!!!)

That wold have been funny
But I believe the game plan was for Alice Cooper to pay for the production of "Wallace & Ladmo"
rather than having KPHO doing it had the host of that show decided to go with Alice Cooper and
decided to take their show nationwide rather than keeping it strictly for Phoenix viewers. The
time frame of this ( early to mid 80s ) the idea may very well would have worked since it was
around that time a large number of indies had went on the air and of course they needed
product. But in the end the host of Wallace & Ladmo decided to keep their show strictly for the
Phoenix viewers. I guess its a case of "keeping it safe rather than dealing with the unknown". I
can see that since there is no promise that a show that was a hit in Phoenix would be the same
kind of hit say in Boston for example.
Even though its been a few years since I have heard his syndicated radio show, in the past every
one in awhile Alice Cooper was known to bring up "Wallace & Ladmo".

Wallace and Ladmo was a big hit in Phoenix. Let's get back to what the thread meant before.
Wow, 3's a Crowd at Noon on WTOC? That's a weird time for that show to be shown.
By the way, does anybody have a weekend South Carolina schedule they could put up?

I don't know that noon was such a weird time
for 3's A Crowd; after all, it's between The Price
Is Right and the CBS soap block. Remember that
the premise of the show was to determine who
knows a man better, his wife or his secretary.
A lot of stations downgraded the show from access

or late-afternoon slots (often into late-night) after
women began to complain and, quite frankly, it wasn't
family viewing.

First of all, let's get something established right away.
Mr. Knozit was/is the greatest television personality of all time.
REPEAT- MR. KNOZIT IS THE GREATEST TELEVISION PERSONALITY OF ALL TIME! JOHNNY CARSON
IS NOT WORTHY OF SHINING MR. KNOZIT'S SHOES!
Having spent much of my pre-teens living with grandparents in Columbia, I adored Mr. Knozit.
It was a fantastic show and I can't remember him ever promoting junk food on his show.
Sunbeam bread, yes, but candy or junk food, no.
A typical Mr. Knozit show did things like teach kids how to tell time (with Knozit calling the colon
in, say, 6:30 a "dot dot"), announcing birthdays with Mr. Knozit scrolling them down the screen
while "conducting" the Knozitland orchestra from his desk, holding up drawings children made
and announcing their names on TV, having on a guest instructing kids how to do exercises or
giving them a look at animals from the Riverbanks Zoo, and, of course, cranking up the cartoon
machine with a motion best described as two fists turning an imaginary crank- then cutting to a
southern-fried cartoon like Deputy Dog or, my favorite, Possible Possum.
Weekends would see children in his studio audience and his interaction with them.
The memory of a young child from more than a generation ago can be spotty, but I recall things
you just wouldn't see on a kids show like this today. Columbia would always get three-digit hot in
the summer and it was not unusual for grass to turn brown in the climate. After a period of
several weeks without rain, I can remember him saying "When you say your prayers at night,
please, pray for rain."
Or calling Dec. 23 "Christmas Eve Eve."
Or how I knew in my earliest youth that the WIS weatherman was, in fact, Mr. Knozit. Which I
once told him upon meeting him as a little boy on a remote- hoping that maybe he would think I
was smart that I could recognize him from his other career or that he didn't have to pretend to
be a character around me.
Mr. Knozit would have none of it! Granted, the character of Mr. Knozit was hardly that much
different from his role as a weatherman (he didn't crank up a barometer, but the personality was
largely the same engaging host- Mr. Knozit did not speak down to youth), but Joe Pinner, ever
the pro, refused, even one-on-one, to break out of character.
Regarding sponsorship, a kindergardener simply is not going to know how the show fared
commercially. But I do remember on Aug. 10, 1977 him making a big deal out of the Columbia
Mall on Two Notch and Parklane opening (it was the last birthday he mentioned!) and the show
was on for more than 30 years. It simply couldn't be UNSUCCESSFUL commerically!
Mr. Knozit also once graced the cover of Guideposts magazine, where he told the tale of a
confused adult individual down on his luck threatening to commit suicide. His only request was
that he didn't want to talk to police phycologists in his barricade- he wanted to talk to Mr. Knozit.
To which Joe Pinner complied. Though one would obviously like such an example under happier
circumstances, this proved the trust Mr. Knozit had throughout Columbia.
Years later, in the late '90s, when I first became connected to the internet, I came upon the WIS
site and found a link where kids could email Mr. Knozit.
I immediately had to become a little boy again.
Soon I was exchanging emails with the hero of my earliest youth. And I then learned the
questions I always wanted to know- that I wondered about since I was 4-years-old, like "How
come you quit talking to the wall around 1975 or so?"
Believe me, the conversations Mr. Knozit had with the wall were most alluring. That wall had
quite the sense of humor.
In 2001, the South Carolina State Legislature declared a week in April as "Mr. Knozit Week."
They were too late. To two generations of Columbia youth, every week was Mr. Knozit Week to
us!

Didn't "Mr. Knozit" win a Peabody award? That's
even more prestigious than an Emmy. And if
there's anyone, anywhere, who qualifies as a
local legend it's Joe Pinner, whether as Mr. Knozit
or as weathercaster on WIS.

I thought the original People's Court ended the previous season. How could it still be on in the
fall of 1993?

4-17-23 Church Service (denominations not listed)"
The Church Service on 17 was Canton Baptist Temple with Dr. Harold Henniger, while the one on
23 was Akron Baptist Temple with Dr. Charles Billington..Dr. Henniger came out of Akron Baptist
Temple to pastor Canton Baptist for over 40 years..Both Churches have had a long history of TV
and radio broadcasting

Wasn't he the guy who made a name for himself by claiming the Beatles were a communist plot?
Also, I did a quick look through and didn't see Ernest Angley anywhere. He does his show from
either Cleveland or Akron today (yes, he's still around...He looks a lot older, but his rug hasn't
aged.)

I meant to mention above that the 7PM "Baptist Church Service" on WJAN-17 was also live from
Canton Baptist Temple

Hargis saw commies everywhere. But he made a more infamous name for himself in the 70s (in
fact, right around the era of this schedule) when he was accused of boinking some of the
students (of both sexes) at his college. He denied it, but quite a few students came forth to
accuse him (including some of the "All-American Kids" that sang on his shows). The old story I've
heard is that the scandal first snowballed and went public when a young newly married couple
from his college confessed to each other on their wedding night that neither one of them were
virgins -- they had both had sex with Hargis! : The college folded a few years later, and though
Hargis continued to write and preach the rest of his life (he died in 2004), his ministry never fully
recovered from the scandal.

Yes, I believe the hair is a 1974 original from Carpet Remnant World. ;D I spent a few months in
the Cleveland area back in the mid-70's, and Ernest was on WAKR (ch. 23) back then. Very
distinct and lampoonable style -- in fact, Robin Williams used to do a devastatingly accurate
impression of Angely, rarely mentioning his name, but it was Angely's voice and mannerisms
Williams would use whenever he was lampooning radio/TV preachers. I'm not sure when in
Williams' career he actually saw Angely (he hails from Chicago, not Cleveland), but given his
talent for mimicry, I'll bet even if he only caught him once or twice, it was enough to make an
impression on him.

I am pretty sure that during the time of these listings Ernest Angely's show was syndicated and
being as big as Chicago was/is at the time, I would be shocked if the show wasn't seen
there..someplace.
About Ernest Angely...I wonder if he knew about Robin Williams poking fun of him? For some
reason I don't think he knew unlike a good many of today's crop of religious figures who
monitors everything and anything in all media, like Focus On The Family for example, I was a bit
surprised to learn last year that they even montior Denver's ROCK MUSIC radio stations.

I think Angley's program was already on the air nationwide by the early-1970s -- I recall seeing
him on TV locally in Bay City, Michigan (on WEYI-TV), before I was in kindergarten (1975).

Re: Retro: Northern Wisconsin/Western UP Michigan Sat, July 27, 1991
Thanks for taking the time to post this!
You helped bring back some great TV viewing memories from my middle school years on the
Milwaukee TV stations. It also was interesting to see what stations "up north" were
programming.
One thing jumped out at me after seeing this snapshot of a program schedule: Stations were
relying a lot less on infomercials to fill their schedules back then.
Bush-Gorbachev Summit coverage may pre-empt scheduled programs[/i]
And less than one month before the coup in the former Soviet Union (August 1991), and the fall
of the Soviet Union about five months away.

2-3-6m-7-8 Pee-wee's Playhouse
Would the July 27, 1991 showing of "Pee-wee's Playhouse" listed above actually turn out to be
the final episode that aired on CBS? The night before this listing was the night of Paul Reubens'
arrest in a Sarasota, FL theater for indecent behavior (to put it lightly)--leading CBS to
immediately cancel any remaining reruns of the "Playhouse" for the rest of the summer (IIRC
"Pee-wee's Playhouse" had already been canceled for the 1991-92 Saturday morning season on
CBS).
I could be wrong, but I think they aired the reruns of Pee-Wee as scheduled until September... As
for WITI? Maybe they aired a double-run of "Small Wonder" on Saturdays...

I know Westinghouse and NBC were in the midst of a blood feud that led to the FCC forcing a
reversal in 1965 of the swap between the Cleveland and Philadelphia NBC affils in 1956, but I
had no suspicion that it went as far as KYW pre-empting two of NBC's signature programs.
Cleveland HAD to be the largest market where this occurred, and one cannot resist the
temptation to believe that practices like this were a protest against the Peacock Network's
strong-arm tactics back in the '50s.
That may have been part of it, but by July 1960, Huntley-Brinkley was back on KYW..Tonight
(Johnny Carson) wouldnt arrive at WKYC till November 1, 1965. KYW and WEWS both did quite a
bit of preempting Network shows..

Re: Retro: Cleveland Tues, July 30, 1974
Some of the Cleveland Suburbs had Cable years before downtown Cleveland..I believe The only
out of market stations they carried were WAKR-TV Akron, 12 and 35 in Erie and CFPL London
Ontario The City of Cleveland didnt get wired for Cable till 1987..
Here is what was on Warner Amex in the Canton/Stark County, Ohio area in 1974
3 WKYC (NBC) Cleveland
5 WEWS (ABC) Cleveland
7 WTRF (NBC) Wheeling, W. Va.
8 WJW (CBS) Cleveland

Boy, this was a busy night for syndicated regional baseball in the Great Lakes. Three different
teams had stations covered by this edition. Questions for this inquiring mind:
1) Any idea who the Pirates broadcasters were? Rather strange for TV Guide not to list them,
while listing those on the other games.
2) While it seems geographically appropriate for Youngstown's WYTV to carry Indians games and
Erie's WSEE to carry Pirates games, is it not really the case that Youngstown is closer to
Pittsburgh than Cleveland and Erie closer to Cleveland than Pittsburgh? One wonders about the
territorial lines of MLB broadcasting, whether they were (and are) set by the teams themselves
or, say, by the commissioner's office.
3) I've never heard of Harry Osterman, who did color on the Tigers broadcasts. Did he play in the
major leagues at one time? Mudcat Grant, at least, was a former Indians pitcher in the 1960s.
Another point: although not carrying a game on this night, Columbus' WLWC, of course, was part
of the AVCO WLW network and thus carried Cincinnati Reds games on Sundays and sometimes
during the week, so that makes FOUR different teams that had affiliates in this edition.

Probably the teams and the networks..Though a lot has to do with tradition..For a time WKBN
carried Pirates Games in Youmgstown..In earlier times, (1950's) WKBN had the Indians and
WKST-45 (WYTV forerunner) had the Pirates..seemed to change every few years..
3) I've never heard of Harry Osterman, who did color on the Tigers broadcasts. Did he play in the
major leagues at one time? Mudcat Grant, at least, was a former Indians pitcher in the 1960s.
George Kell was the former player..Osterman did PBP for the Tigers from 1961-77 on Broadcast
TV, then on PASS Cable in 1984, He worked in TV for the Minnesota Twins from 1979-83
A nice bio on Osterman:

So 9-noon is the usual Central zone clock time on the left coast feed,
but instead of coming back at 12:30 PT, the local hole is 90 min., with
the afternoon part of CBS daytime on an Eastern clock time schedule
from 1:30-5.
When did TV City "tighten up" daytime to an all Central clock time sked
of 9-noon and 12:30-4?

Re: Retro: Nashville--Fri, Feb 7, 1969
I moved to Birmingham in June 1969 and Chs. 4, 5,
and 8 were in the Northern Alabama edition of TV
Guide. I don't recall "Truth Or Consequences" being
on Ch. 4, but I know that, in 1972 when the access
rule began to require first-run programming on all
top-50 market network affiliates, "T or C" ran at
6 PM on Ch. 8. I also recall that in September 1969
"The Dick Van Dyke Show" went into syndication, and
Ch. 8 ran it at 5:30, between ABC News and its own
"Eyewitness News" (BTW, their sports guy was Larry
Munson, voice of the Dawgs at Georgia). By the early
'70s, in the Smith/Reasoner era, ABC News aired at 5,
and "Eyewitness News" at 5:30.
I also recall "The Lucy Show" running at 9 AM, followed
by "The Beverly Hillbillies" at 9:30 on Ch. 8; both were
pre-empted for Mike Douglas on Ch. 5.

I wouldn't call Bonnie Prudden's show a talk show, but
rather an exercise show (sort of a female Jack LaLanne).
And "White Hunter" is an old syndicated show from the
late '50s; I'd never heard of it until Ch. 12 in New Bern,
NC, ran it in 1967.
I have posted listings for the three affiliates from June 1973;
in daytime Ch. 4 was still pre-empting 12:30 ("Three On A
Match"), but Ch. 5 was running the entire CBS schedule in
pattern (a move it made at least by the time CBS started
its game-show block of "Joker's Wild," "Price Is Right," and
"Gambit" in September 1972) and Ch. 8 was pre-empting
"Bewitched" (10:30 AM) and "Love, American Style" (3 PM).
Interestingly, Ch. 8 had Andy Griffith at 3 and Merv Griffin
at 3:30. Think about it.

(8) WSIX News--Bob Bell, anchor (Bell was a longtime employee whose career at
WSIX/WNGE/WKRN spanned over 30 years)
Not to be confused with the "other" Bob Bell, longtime "Bozo the Clown" at Chicago's WGN-TV.
(5) As the World Turns--"And now, presented live for the next 30 minutes ..."
ATWT was still going out live in 1969??
(4) NBC News--Floyd Kalber (a/k/a "The Big Tuna")
I vaguely recall someone using that nickname for Kalber -- what did it refer to, and who
bestowed it upon him? (Wikipedia is no help here...)
(2) Big Picture--U.S. Army information film
Wasn't it rather unusual for a PBS (er...excuse me...still NET in '69) outlet to air one of these
ubiquitous "fillers?" (Usually found plugging holes in weekend afternoon schedules on
commercial stations...)

WOW!! Every TV station in our market has changed call letters since then! And that PBS/ABC
channel swap took place in 1973, I think.

Actually, NBC did let Monty Hall have an evening version of Let's Make A Deal during the spring
of 1967 but it lasted through the summer. NBC also had an evening version of Hollywood
Squares in 1968 but that lasted through the summer as well.

Re:WMCV-17
"Upbeat" was likely the Rock and Roll dance show with Don Webster, syndicated from WEWS-TV
5 Cleveland..
As far as NET showing "fillers", Ive seen several schedules from the late 50's to the late 60's
where many NET stations showed "fillers"..Even religious shows like "Insight"..Programming
wasnt always easy to come by if you werent doing it yourself..especially just after the stations
went on the air..
I mentioned this before, but in 1958 WQED-13 Pittsburgh was showing a mixture of Sunday
News and Public affairs programs from ABC, CBS and NBC..Network affiliates werent clearing
them at the time..

What exactly was the purpose of that flip between Nashville's channel 2 and 8? I remember
reading awhile back it was due to power. True?
Also I have seen tapes of WSIX channel 8 doing "Eyewitness News" from the early 70s, yet by the
mid 70's WLAC was doing "Eyewitness News". Talk about a short gap. Wonder how WLAC was
able to get that name? Reason I ask, many years ago in Washington DC, WUSA was branding
their news "Eyewitness News' but dropped it I believe around 1996 (?). A few years later not
long after WJLA started using the circle 7 logo, I was chatting online with a guy from WJLA who
was telling me that WJLA really wanted to pick up the name "Eyewitness News" only to have
WUSA deny them the rights even though WUSA wasn't using that name for a number of years.
Looking back now, maybe it wasnt a question of "rights" but rather WJLA getting anchors Gordon
Peterson, Doug Hill and a few others from WUSA and by picking up "Eyewitness News" perhaps
that could confuse viewers as to whom they were watching.

Whoops! As they say on my street, 'scuse me. What actually happened was that NBC wouldn't
make "Deal" permanent. It's also likely ABC sweet-talked Hatos and Hall into switching with
some other incentives as well.

What exactly was the purpose of that flip between Nashville's channel 2 and 8? I remember

From what I know, pretty much. WSIX owners General Electric had been frustrated in its
attempts to compete with WSM and WLAC (a situation still holding true for successor WKRN as
of 2009), and thought a boost of power would help the station get a stronger signal, particularly
in the fringe counties of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. Of course, it had probably
been operating at the legal limit on the channel 8 frequency, so cranking up the wattage there
was likely not an option as far as the FCC was concerned. ABC was likely on WSIX's case also for
being in third place, given the strength of the network in nearby Southern markets like
Birmingham (WBRC) and Memphis (WHBQ).
Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Nashville-Davidson County (consolidated government) Public

Schools had been running WDCN on channel 2 since 1962. It started out sharing the facilities of
WSM in south Nashville until the latter station built its current building in 1966. Nevertheless,
the studios did not have color broadcasting facilities, and being on a school board's line item did
not allow for much wiggle room, to say the least, in a lot of other technical and business matters.
We must remember that pledge drives did not become a fixture on public TV until well into the
mid-1970s, as a regular means of raising money.
Furthermore, as engineers know, the channel 2 signal travels a considerable distance, bringing it
into potential interference with other stations on that channel within 200-250 miles. To make a
long story short, WDCN had too much power, power that it really did not need, because the
state government of Tennessee in the late 1960s started filling in the rest of the state with ETV
service, which had previously been available only in Nashville and in Memphis (WKNO).
So, GE and the school board began talks to do something almost exactly like what happened in
New Orleans in 1970, when ABC affil WVUE (then on channel 12) traded channels with ETV
outlet WYES (then on channel 8), in order to benefit both stations. In 1972, the two reached an
agreement for WSIX to go to channel 2 (where it would be renamed WNGE) and WDCN to
channel 8. WSIX/WNGE would get a stronger signal and greater reach, while WDCN would get
financial consideration to make possible its goal of building a state-of-the-art, full-color facility,
which eventually happened in 1976, two and a half years after the December 1973 swap. At the
time, this was a rare occasion, to witness two existing broadcasting entities exchange
frequencies; perhaps the most famous was the 1995 Miami WCIX/WFOR and WTVJ trading of
channels 4 and 6. This actually began to happen quite often to radio frequencies beginning in the
late 1990s, but has seldom happened with American television, probably because of the great
expense that in some cases would have outweighed the benefits for either outlet.
Incidentally, the switch occurred during prime time one evening, with a short film airing
simultaneously on both stations featuring Robert Young of ABC's "Marcus Welby, M.D.,"
representing WSIX/WNGE, and Big Bird of "Sesame Street," representing WDCN, instructing
viewers to tune to the new channels for their favorite programs. Despite having occurred when a
large number of viewers were watching, and the matter was surely getting oodles of local
newspaper coverage, I am sure that staff and officials of both stations, particularly what was now
WNGE, got severe headaches over the next few weeks dealing with confused and angry viewers
who either didn't get the news or couldn't get themselves to break their old habits. That, in and
of itself, is a disincentive right there.
Hope that helps answer your question ...

I read New Orleans' WVUE and WYES also switched during prime-time in 1970 -- I recall reading
a trade ad for WVUE around that time where they switched at 8PM, during a break of a movie
that they were showing.
From what I know, pretty much. WSIX owners General Electric had been frustrated in its
attempts to compete with WSM and WLAC (a situation still holding true for successor WKRN as
of 2009), and thought a boost of power would help the station get a stronger signal, particularly

state government of Tennessee in the late 1960s started filling in the rest of the state with ETV
service, which had previously been available only in Nashville and in Memphis (WKNO).
As of 1966 both stations were operating at maximum available power for their channels. (100kw
for channel 2, 316kw for channel 8) However, channel 2 had a relatively low antenna - about 680
feet - channel 8 was at their current height of about 1,300 feet. WDCN (WNPT) got the better
end of the deal as far as power/antenna height is concerned: their antenna on channel 8 is
considerably higher than it was on channel 2, with no decrease in power. However...
Low-band VHF covers better for a given number of watts. (hence the lower power limit)
Today, most homes in the city don't have a decent antenna; and most do have many
computerized noise sources. This has more than erased the low-VHF advantage. But in 1969,
that wasn't the case.
Operating at the same antenna height and maximum power, WSIX was considerably better off on
channel 2 than they were on channel 8.
I suspect WSIX's troubles in the early days stemmed from a lack of radio resources and tradition
to draw on. Their radio affiliation (WSIX, then on 980) was a LOT weaker than those of their
competition on channels 4 (WSM) and 5 (WLAC).

I had always heard that the switch was for "better dial position." Back in the days of "get up,
walk across the room, and turn the 'clicker'," there was probably some truth to that. But in this
day of remote controls, that really doesn't make a difference.
And I've always been able to get AM 980 just fine (since I've lived here), but they aren't "clear
channel" like the other two are.
And that "channel 8)" thing was hilarious, too! ;D

I wonder if this film still exists? My guess is that chances are the film is still around but I am sure
it hasnt been seen since 1973 but still I would love to see that film. Robert Young & Big Bird?
That is actually quite funny
But then again that may not be as funny as what I saw at work about 10 years ago, an audio tape
( psa ) that I had found of Bob "Gilligan" Denver for West Virginia Broadcasters. Back in the early
90s many viewers in West Virginia were getting on those big home satellite dishes, Denver,
Colorado TV such as KWGN, KCNC, KUSA, KMGH, KRMA and KDVR and because of that many of
those viewers were NOT watching their local TV instead was watching Denver's. Yes its ironic..a
man with the name of Bob DENVER telling people they shouldn't be watching DENVER
television. And of course the psa tied in "Gilligan's Island" to that comparing West Virginia
viewers watching Denver TV to those on an "uncharted desert isle" and for the viewers to be
Gilligan's "little buddy"..to give up watching Colorado TV and watch West Virginia's instead. And
yes they were using the theme for Gilligan's Island as background music.
For some reason we never did air that PSA, mainly because the PD at the time had met Bob
Denver at some function and thought he was a total jerk. I would say what he had called Bob
Denver but I have my doubts Radio-Info would allow such language ;D

Hindsight being 20/20, Channel 8 has some advantages especially with indoor antennas. I found
my 1966 TV fact book. They don't offer Channel 2's info since they were a non-com. However, it
looks like Channel 8 market reach was respectable. The shortcoming was to the north since the
tower was south of WSM-TV and WLAC-TV.

I know that at one time WBKO/13 Bowling Green, KY,
was independent but became an ABC affiliate. Was
this to fill in the gap caused by WSIX's poor reach
north of Nashville?

bp, I would suppose so. ABC probably lobbied WLTV's owners (or vice versa) because of the
WSIX situation. Neither NBC nor CBS were interested, of course, because of, respectively, WSM
and WLAC's strength in the southernmost counties of Kentucky.
Also, remember that the closest ABC signals to the north were WTVW in Evansville, Indiana, to
the northwest (probably a rimshot in the westernmost counties of WLTV's reach) and WLKY in
Louisville, well out of reach due to being on UHF. This certainly moved WLTV decisively toward
ABC.
Of course, after WSIX moved to channel 2 and became WNGE in 1973, things got a lot stickier,
now that there was direct competition, a la the WEWS/Cleveland-WAKR/Akron situation of that
time. Still, WBKO's newscast was the only local TV news covering only Southern Kentucky, so it
certainly got far above a 50 share for its news and perhaps translated that into strength in other
dayparts also.

As I understand it, WBKO had to have at least a 50 share signon-to-signoff for the Bowling Green
market to exist -- otherwise it would have been part of the Nashville market. (if there had been
more than one commercial station in Bowling Green, they would have had to have a minimum
50 share between them)
Not that I know where this fits into the discussion, but note that Jackson was also a single-
station market with only ABC represented until just a few years ago.

I wonder how well the applecart-turning programming shuffle worked for WXIA. Sounds like a
measure of desperation to me ...
WTCG doing public affairs in PRIME TIME??? I didn't know the station did ANY kind of that stuff,
at any time, during the week. I would guess the station had to fill in a hole created by not having
a Braves game to telecast that night. In any case, something tells me that "Georgia Press
Conference" did not last very long.
Up in Chattanooga, I bet it was rather neat to see cartoons in prime-time. As I recall a letter to
the editor in a TV Guide during a writer's strike back in the 1970s threatening prime-time
production, one reader, totally unsympathetic to the worries of network brass, claimed that he
would prefer to see Woody Woodpecker shorts in the place of some of the substandard fare the
networks were offering then. Another for the "what if" category for you.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Friday, August 1, 1975
I think the "Georgia Press Conference" was a
one-shot thing, and Ch. 17 offered it to any
station in Georgia that wanted to carry it.
Ch. 2 did have "Monday News Conference"
at 9:30 AM on Mondays for years; it later
moved to Sundays at 6:30 PM and was, of
course, retitled "Sunday News Conference."
The wholesale restructuring of Ch. 11's schedule

was an act of desperation--typical of Ch. 11 in
those days--and didn't work at all. By January
1976 the news block had gone back to 6-7 (local
at 6, ABC at 6:30), Merv had moved to 7 (for one
hour), movies were back at 4, Dinah was on from
9 to 10:30 AM, One Life To Live was back on in
the morning at 10:30 AM, followed by Edge Of
Night at 11. Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman ran at
3:30 for a short time, moved to 11:30 PM, and was
replaced by reruns of Dark Shadows. The 11:30 AM
newscast lasted until the end of the 1975-76 season.
Whatever gains "Pro News" had made since its debut
in 1972 were wiped out by the move to 5:30, and in
September 1976 the new format--"11 Alive Newsroom"--
debuted.
By the summer of 1976 Concentration and To Tell The
Truth were back in the 7-8 slot, Merv had moved to 1:30,
and One Life To Live and General Hospital, 45 minutes each,
were seen 2:30-4 PM (Pyramid moved to 10:30 AM and
Family Feud was pre-empted until ABC moved it to 11:30 AM).
The changes also reflect a management change. Jack Clifford
was fired in the spring of 1976; Alvin Flanagan, president of
Combined Communications (now part of Gannett) was interim

manager until Jeff Davidson came from Louisville that summer.
Even though Davidson presided over Ch. 11 when ABC was number
one, he couldn't get it out of third place and wound up with NBC
when ABC elected to move to Ch. 2 in 1980.

Re: Retro: Carolina-Tennessee Tues, Aug 4, 1964
"Lindsay" on WSOC's "Clown Carnival" is Brooks Lindsay,
who I think played Joey the Clown. It was one of the
two great kids' shows in Charlotte; Fred Kirby's "Rascals
Club" on WBTV being the other.
The names Arthur Whiteside and Martin (Marty) Morgan
on WLOS bring back memories of the late '60s. Whiteside
anchored Ch. 13's news until about 1973; I remember a guy
named John Butte in the fall of '73, although Whiteside continued
doing editorials. Bob Caldwell replaced Marty Morgan on the
weather around '68 or '69. The sports guy at that time was
named Munsey Millaway; he also did the local cut-ins on wrestling,
which the station got from WGHP High Point.

Re: Retro: Arkansas--Thu, Apr 27, 1972
I don't doubt that KTVE was one of the first stations
anywhere in the South to carry Donahue. I remember
at the time covered in the posting WEAR Pensacola/Mobile
was carrying a 30-minute version which wasn't successful
at the time; Donahue didn't really come into his own until
around 1977, when he moved from Dayton to Chicago.
I think the first station in the South, and one of the first
outside Ohio, to carry Donahue was WAGA; he began airing
in Atlanta in 60-minute form in December 1970 and was
the main culprit behind the decline and fall of WSB's longtime
institution "Today In Georgia."

One thing to point out, bp: Donahue moved operations from WLWD in Dayton and the AVCO
network sometime in the summer of 1974 to WGN, some three years earlier than you mention.
Still, you are right in that Donahue really didn't become a national sensation until around 1977-
78. The three markets that I got on my cable system at the time, Nashville, Huntsville-Decatur,
and Birmingham, took him about that time.
I made the point that I did because Donahue was a pioneer in making controversial subjects like
abortion, homosexuality, racial relations, the death penalty, and so on, part of the television
mainstream. They were hot enough in his main territory of Ohio and Indiana in the late 1960s
and early 1970s, let alone Dixie. Atlanta was one place where cultural attitudes were (and are)
liberal enough to tolerate frank and open talk about those matters, and that makes it all the
more strange that El Dorado, Arkansas, of all places, would take a gamble on a show that would
get preachers and community leaders upset. Apparently the show fascinated viewers there more
than it offended, or otherwise may have gotten dropped there shortly thereafter as a failed
experiment, only to return in the late 1970s when it broke out elsewhere in the U.S.
Does anybody else know of other Southern stations that tried out Donahue before 1977?

I didn't realize that Donahue moved to Chicago
in '74, but then again I never was much of a fan
of his show. I can think of two stations right off-hand
that had him prior to '77: WTOG Tampa/St. Petersburg
around '73 or '74, and WCCB Charlotte around the same
time (he was more successful on WBTV).

I thought "Howdy Doody" was on NBC weekdays at this point.

Howdy Doody moved to Saturday only from 1956-60..I don't believe Sea Hunt was ever on a
network, though it is likely some stations aired Sea Hunt locally in place of network fare...

Right on both counts. Howdy Doody received a
drubbing at the hands of Mickey Mouse and moved
to Saturdays in June 1956, staying there until September

1960; the last episode is a classic in itself: the only time
Clarabelle ever spoke on camera, to say, "Goodbye, kids."
The person who thought Sea Hunt was on Sundays either
lived where it came on then or saw it on another posting.
It was a syndicated show.

Sea Hunt was not broadcast by ABC, CBS or NBC, hence it's not on any of
the three schedules.
The program was syndicated to individual stations so each station decided
when to air it, based on timeslots each needed to fill--before or after prime,
a prime time half-hour when the net was "dark" (e.g.: 7:30-8pm ET Tuesday
on a CBS affiliate), or if they did not clear a particular network show.

Question: If Rocky and His Friends didn't debut until November of that year, what exactly was
the checkerboard schedule for the 5:30 slot before then?
Another question:
I thought My Friend Flicka aired Mondays and Wednesdays and Rin Tin Tin on Tuesdays and
Fridays. I noticed the schedule on this link:
http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...ndstand+flicka
You're right; my bad. I don't have any schedules
from October 1959 but I do know that the "Mickey
Mouse Club" ended in late September. The Thursday

slot may have been open for a few weeks. I'll defer
to someone else.
Tim Lones may be able to tell us since he has Cleveland schedules
going back to the '40s. If he knows what was on WEWS and/or
WAKR he may be able to answer your question.

In New York City, it was the end of the weekday afternoon Howdy Doody, combined with the
recent opening of the Hollywood studios' respective film libraries to television, that catapulted
WRCA-TV (now WNBC) into the movie showcase business, with what started on June 4, 1956 as
Evening Theatre and then became Movie 4 on Feb. 3, 1957 (this date verified by an ad in that
day's New York Times), running until April 26, 1974. (Sidebar: The original host of this movie
show was Johnny Andrews, who later, in the fall of 1965, was given a weather segment on
WCBS-TV, only one year after that station sacked longtime "weather girl" Carol Reed.)

OK, thanks for the clarification. Being quite young at the time I remember Sea Hunt being on in
Chicago on Sunday nights at 9:30PM CST on WNBQ Chicago's NBC owned.

MWF-Mickey Mouse Club
TuTh-Adventure Time:
Here is the listing for Thursday, Sept. 24, 1959
5;30 5-12-45 Adventure Time
"Sexret Of Mystery Lake" Conclusion
-------------------------
Last Show Of The Series:For the Next Three Weeks Rin Tin Tin will be seen at this time Tuesday
and "Rocky and His Friends" will be seen Thursdays. After that, Rocky and His Friends will be
seen Tuesdays and Thursdays..
Friday September 25, 1959
5:30 5-12-45 Mickey Mouse Club
--------------------------
Last Show Of The Series. Beginning Next Week, "Rin Tin Tin" will be seen Mondays and Fridays
and "My Friend Flicka" Wednesday..

premiere Tuesday, Sept. 29, and air on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but as of the last week of 1959
"Rocky" was still seen only on Thursdays..

First, thanks for clearing up the "Rocky And
His Friends" issue; Castleman and Podrazik
were probably using schedules from early
in the season, since they didn't take into
account the CBS daytime changes in mid-
October.
"Secret Of Mystery Lake" had a most unlikely
star: Groucho's announcer, George Fenneman,
as a naturalist working with a young girl around
a lake in Tennessee and solving a mystery of some
sort (I've never seen this serial). It was one of
the very few times Fenneman tried his hand at
acting.
Question: If Rocky and His Friends didn't debut until November of that year, what exactly was
the checkerboard schedule for the 5:30 slot before then?
Good question. I remember the original R&HFs on ABC but it seems to me it aired in 1959/60 on
Monday,Wednesday and Friday with the other days airing reruns of Rin Tin Tin and Circus Boy.
...but that is what my memory serves me after fifty years.

But I still to this day remember the debut segments of the Rocket Fuel/Mooseberry Bush
episodes of Rocky and Bullwinkle. The Counterfeit Boxtops were second in the series.
The "rabbit outta my hat" bumpers by Bullwinkle originally had Rocky introducing the Fractured
Fairy Tales and Mr. Peabody at the end.

Comments:
The way the channel order is in the listings are the Rochester stations, then everybody else. As
you can imagine, the Rochester stations were "dark" and the Syracuse and Buffalo stations were
"light". A scheme similar to what you might have seen in the Philadelphia edition.
Of course, almost all of the programming listed for WOR was not the actual programming shown
on WWOR (which, by the way, is licensed to Secaucus, NJ) aside from the news and perhaps
"Who's The Boss?"
"Dennis The Menace", listed on WGN at 9 and 9:30 AM, was indeed the animated series and not
the classic 60's sitcom.
The "Schoolbreak Special" on Channel 5 at 4 PM pre-empted the regular program at that hour,
"Montel Williams".
WGRZ... Wow. How bad of a financial shape were they in for the fact that they were not just the
only major network affiliate in this area to not have any local news in the morning or midday, but
such a station to carry children's programming. "Bananas in Pajamas" at 6 AM and "Flintstones"
at noon? Boy, that must hurt the bottom line a little bit...
Of course, it can't be worse than remembering the fact that child actresses Tempestt Bledsoe
and Gabrielle Carteris once hosted their own talk shows! No doubt, the popularity of Ricki Lake
had to have been a factor for these shows to happen...
Speaking of talk shows... yes, "Danny!" is indeed the ill-fated talk show hosted by Danny
Bonaduce!
Feel free to reply with any comments, questions or concerns.

WIVB also carried children's shows in the mornings during the early-1990s -- WGRZ (then already
owned by Gannett) probably just wanted to follow their lead.
But of course, in Canada, CTV and TQS have also carried Flintstones at 12 Noon, into the early-
1990s.

Re: Retro: Rochester, NY - Tuesday, October 10, 1995
On 13 (WOKR), the 9 AM slot was taken up by Montel Williams by this point. This was a
replacement for Donahue, which would be in its last season. It was a long time fixture on 13s
lineup, dating back to the 70s. Another change in the fall of 1995 was Rochester's first hour-long
5 pm newscast, also on WOKR. I didn't get much of a chance to see WIVB in those days, but I did
recall the 3 pm hour being taken up by something other than Guiding Light in that period.
Though I think by some point in 1996 Night Court took up at least part of that hour.

2. I'm assuming it's not the Marc Summers-hosted program...
This one was a short-lived Goodson-Todman show Alex Trebek hosted for CBS in 1976-77.

I think that the WIBW "Lucy" show at 9:00 AM would have been reruns of Here's Lucy which
were airing on CBS daytime at that time.

Forgot about that Lucy series ...as mentioned in the original post, FH just called any Lucy show
"Lucy", so I had to take my best shot at it and hope I had it right ;D They abbreviated quite a few
titles; for example, Beverly Hillbillies got abbreviated as "Hillbillies".

RE: KSNB-4, Superior. IIRC, the 5 p.m. news was an early ABC feed and the 6 p.m. was local. And
yes, they ran two hours of "PTL Club" in the morning and shorted "GMA," although I'm not sure
if that was still the case in '77.

Since we are talking "Family Happiness", somewhat surprised that the listings from the Denver &
Colorado Springs stations didn't appear here since Family Happiness was known to feature a
bunch of stations in their listings moreso than TV Guide, even though their choices can be
questionable ( Example: Buffalo's WIVB and WKBW being featured in the West Virginia Family
Happiness edition back in the 80's ).
Perhaps it was a "time zone" thing with Denver & Colorado Springs being on Mountain Time
while much of Kansas was in Central.

I've picked up those "Family Happiness" magazines
and agree they're better on listings than TV Guide.
For instance, after the Carolina/Tennessee edition
was split and the Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville
edition stopped carrying Bristol/Kingsport/Johnson
City listings, I could still get Tri-Cities schedules
from "Happiness"; likewise, I could get Roanoke/
Lynchburg listings in the same "Happiness" that
had Raleigh/Durham and Greensboro/Winston-
Salem/High Point listings. I rather miss that magazine.

As a TV Guide collector, I am not intrigued by the somewhat brief existence of the "Family
Happiness" magazine. When did it stop publishing?

I recall seeing a "Family Happiness" or just "Happiness" TV magazine in a motel along I-70 in east
central Missouri as recently as 1990. Apparently the motel only relied on a MATV system, and
could reliably receive St. Louis and Columbia/Jefferson City stations regularly (with occasionally
KHQA and WGEM from Quincy/Hannibal making appearances). In addition to those from the
three aforementioned markets, IIRC listings for stations from as far south as Jonesboro, AR and
Springfield, MO to as far north as Kirksville, MO/Ottumwa, IA, Springfield/Decatur/Champaign, IL
and Peoria/Bloomington appeared in that edition of "Happiness."
Actually Family Happiness in itself was around for at least a good 15 years. These listings came
from 1977 and I can remember seeing them at stores as late as 1986 and somebody had
mentioned seeing on as recently as 1990. Of course chances are there were some markets
dropped and/or picked up during that time so perhpas in some places Family Happiness stay was
brief. Looking back I think the only reason they were around as long as they were was that it was
free. The ones I can remember had some ad for some local mom/pop store on the front. Of
course chances are many of those stores are now defunct.
I also can remember Family Happiness being a bit on the conservative side but then again they
were NOT as conservative as another free source for TV listings at the time ( mid 80s )..TV
Tempo. Some local married couple had the rights to TV Tempo in our area at the time
( Shenandoah Valley, VA ) but their listings were quite poor, such as no listings for channels like
HBO or Showtime and when it came to shows they didn't approve of it said either "network
programming" in its place or something shortened like NBC's Friday Night Videos for example...in
TV Tempo the show was called simply "video". TV Tempo even provided radio listings even the
times when the djs were on but only for religious and country music radio stations...no rock not
even the local oldies station. At least Family Happiness didn't do that. For TV Tempo..they lasted
in my hometown for just over a year.
Not sure when Family Happiness went defunct, but then again I guess they could still be around
kinda like "Tidbits". I haven't seen a copy of that for years and I thought for sure they were
defunct however last year I noticed Denver still has their own "tidbits" and my sister was telling
me that she had seen some issues for Palm Springs as well. So perhaps Family Happiness could
still be around in a few places but I would still bet money they are defunct now.

A few weeks ago someone gave me 9 issues of something called "TV Scope"-An 8 page foldout
Guide distributed free at Fisher Foods Supermarkets in Cleveland (And I am sure at other
Markets)..The ones I have are from 1958-60 and carry Cleveland, Erie and Akron Stations..My
latest retroschedule is from one of these..

I can confirm that there is an edition of "TV Facts" still in existence, available for free on your way
out of King Kullen locations in Suffolk County, Long Island. Its listings are based on the
Cablevision L.I. lineup, but a large portion of channels are conspicuously missing. It also comes
complete with a "Q&A" section, where some columnist answers readers' questions on people in
TV. How can such a column still be in existence, when you can get any information you want
from the Internet (or at least Wikipedia)...
btw MAJOR boo-boo - in my previous post, I wrote "As a TV Guide collector, I am not intrigued
by the somewhat brief existence of the "Family Happiness" magazine..." That should have read "I
am NOW intrigued"... and I still am!

There's also a TV Facts in the Twin Cities that is still publishing:

Here is an entry for the franchiser, from MANTA:

Up until a few years back, TV Facts and other freebie TV magazines were available practically
everywhere in the US and Canada -- now, they are very hard to find.

Despite being the "Colorado" edition of TV Guide, no station from Grand Junction was listed
however two Wyoming stations were...KTWO ( Casper ) and KFBC ( Cheyenne ). I will post their
schedules at a later date.
**since KRMA's schedule was so tiny back then, thought I would add something to their line-up
LOL .

Re: Retro: Colorado Monday, January 27, 1964
The 2:45 newscast is more than likely KKTV's.
Lee Phillip aired from 4:30-4:45 (ET)/2:30-2:45
(MT) on CBS, after which the network went dark
until Cronkite at 6:30 (ET).

KOA/Denver channel 4 (NBC)
Can anyone confirm that this is the NBC movie, as opposed to it being local?
Further, if it is NBC, did the listed title indeed air on 01/27/64, or could it be
a one-week delay?
All of prime is in pattern which would be a one-hour delay, if same-night tape,
and one wonders if any of the Denver stations had enough VTR equipment to
pull that off. NBC didn't help of course, by scheduling a movie at 7:30pm ET--
sort of a "screw the Mountain Time Zone, just like we do every Wednesday
with the 90-minute western at 7:30."
Not sure if NBC bicycled "third-play" (their moniker) 16mm films of their movies;
H'wood could be shipped on film; but Mitch was a tape show.

7:00 Danny Thomas

7:30 Andy Griffith
When did KLZ run To Tell The Truth (7:30 ET)? Hitchcock is a delay
from Friday 10 ET.
6:30 Outer Limits
7:30 Wagon Train
9:00 Breaking Point
Prime time is all in pattern, so again a one-hour delay if same-night tape,
so the same Q about "how many VTRs?" applies. Perhaps it was all on
16mm film, as KTVK did with ABC prime most nights back then for Phoenix
(and fed to Tucson).
KOAA/Pueblo channel 5 (NBC)
The COS stations seem to be at least semi-satellites of DEN, running most,
if not all, network at the same time and even simulcasting some syndie shows.
The Telco maps in the 1963 Radio Annual on the Old Gringo's website indicate
the net feeds to COS/PUB were either microwave links or off-air pickups
from DEN.

I thought Lee Phillip was only local in Chicago.

All three stations had microwave links to Denver. The KCSJ (KOAA) link was from the KOA
transmitter on Lookout Mountain to Castle Rock then through a saddle in Monument Hill to the
KRDO transmitter on Cheyenne Mountain and on to the KCSJ studios on Big Hill in Pueblo.
In 1961, Metropolitan Broadcasting acquired KCSJ and changed the calls to KOAA to match their
station in Denver. KOA and KOAA were individually managed and programmed. I'm surprised to
see the same afternoon movie listed. As I remember that didn't happer very often. Metropolitan
only owned KOAA for about 9 years, but that was kind of a golden era for the station because
Metropolitan spent a lot of money upgrading the station. KOAA got video tape 1962 and was the
first in the market to broadcast locally produced programs in living color.
KKTV and KRDO were locally owned and remained locally owned into the 90's.
I was a kid at the time, but my inpression was that KOAA, KKTV and KRDO all somewhat resented
being dependent on the Denver stations.

When did KLZ run To Tell The Truth (7:30 ET)? Hitchcock is a delay
from Friday 10 ET.
KLZ didn't air Hitchcock on Fridays due to the Denver based King Soopers Supermarket Chain.
Tuesday I was at an antique store in Aurora, Colorado and found this TV Guide for sale for only
$5. While there I also did find an old ad for King Soopers ( now part of Kroger BTW ) from shortly
before these listings that said to join the King Soopers for 'Movie Nights..Monday nights at 10:30
on KBTV TV 9 and Friday nights at 8 on KLZ-TV 7". As a result I assume KLZ simply moved
Hitchcock to Monday nights to make way for King Soopers. According to TV Guide the KLZ/King
Soopers movie for Friday 1/31/64 was the 1960 adventure "Last of the Vikings".
I went through the entire TV Guide and didn't see "To Tell The truth" in any of KLZ's nighttime
listings though it did air on KKTV at 9:30 Friday night on 1/31/64.

She was on for years at noon on WBBM, but in the fall of 1963
CBS offered her show to the full network 4:30-4:45 (ET). The
clearance rate was apparently abysmally low; in my part of the
country only WTVR Richmond carried her. I think at the time
many CBS affiliates were taking 4:30 for themselves to compensate
for the loss of time when Cronkite expanded from 15 minutes to
30 in September of that year.
CBS made one last attempt to program 4:30 in the 1964-65 season,
rerunning Jack Benny's CBS shows under the title "The Jack Benny
Daytime Show." That didn't work either, and in 1965 the time was
returned to the affiliates for good; in fact, ABC was the last network
to give back 4:30 when "Where The Action Is" was canceled in 1967.

These programs didn't even premiere until 1980. I know America's Top 10 actually started on
WCBS and didn't move to WNEW until around the fall of that year.

Ditto: I'd like to see some Chicago schedules too--especially if anybody has anything from the 50s
or 60s.

The other thing: WOR's late afternoon movie series by 1979 was known as The 4 O'Clock Movie.
The Sunday at 5 movie was known as The Big Preview, while the one at 1 A.M. went by the name
Sunday Movie Showcase.

Re: Retro: Winnipeg Wed, Aug 15, 1984
I have a CBC recording that is pretty close to the date listed here, but for some reason have
never been able to get it nailed. (I think it may be after this date.) My recording contains two
commercials (one of which was an election ad) and the last 40 or so minutes of the 1982 FIFA
World Cup Soccer film.

10:30 Movie "The Lonely Lady"
Oh yes...the infamous Pia Zadora flick. Even though "The Lonely Lady" did the rounds among the
America pay networks like HBO and Showtime around the time of these listings, by the late 80s I
seem to remember at least one network had yanked this movie from their schedule and made a
pledge to their viewers that they will never show the movie ever again. I think it was HBO
though it could had been Showtime. The issue? The scene in the "The Lonely Lady" where Pia
Zadora is raped by a man using a garden hose which resulted in a real life copycat crime. Soon
after that incident a number of film critics like Siskel & Ebert and Leonard Maltin took to their
shows and asked that the movie be totally withdrawn from the market including the airing of the
movie on pay-cable and being available on home video. Of course by having such people making
such a request only resulted in more people who wanted to see the movie ( hardly a surprise ).
Even though the movie was available on VHS, I have been told "The Lonely Lady" has yet to be
released to DVD so perhaps Siskel & Ebert and Maltin were successful in the long run as "The
Lonely Lady" is pretty much a forgotten film today. Even Pia Zadora herself no longer talks about
it...at least in interviews anyway.

...not so much related to this schedule, but a couple of years later I briefly worked for CKY-TV/7
as a colour commentator for their Saturday afternoon pro wrestling show (Tony Condello's Four
West promotion). The weekend I did the most tapings happened to be the 42nd anniversary of
the D-Day invasion of Nazi-occupied France, in which (IIRC) Canadian troops made the very first
landings. That night, I thought it was particularly odd that, while the late movie on CBWT/6 was
The Longest Day, the programming office at Channel 7 had the nerve to run against it the Richard
Lester WW2 satire How I Won the War ...

I had erased Pia Zadora from my mind until I read this.

More on the Mike Douglas incident I mentioned earlier...Zsa Zsa Gabor was telling a joke, and
stinking out the joint in the process. Morey Amsterdam, who was in the green room, found it
funny though. When he came out, he told Zsa Zsa that she stunk at telling jokes and proceeded
to tell that joke his way. Zsa Zsa was not impressed, and turned the Delaware Valley's air black by
ripping Morey some new sphincters . Zsa Zsa swears it never happened, but Mike said that he
got a call from Roxborough during the break from the transmitter engineer threatening to kill the
transmitter if that kind of language was repeated...
Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon primetime Friday, August 7, 1981
I had said the other day I might post this one because
this is the night "The Krypton Factor" debuted on ABC,
and it's a show I think could fit right in with the reality
genre. The daytime and access schedules are the same
as August 4, except that WAGA normally carried John
Davidson from 4-5. So I'm confining this to 8 PM on, with
some exceptions which you'll see, mainly on PBS stations.

Is that a typo?
I doubt it. Remember, in the early months of NBC's SCTV Network 90, the 1980-81 season of the
syndicated SCTV Television Network was still playing on local stations. In New York, both were
actually under one roof - with SCTV Television Network running on WNBC at 1 A.M. after
Saturday Night Live.
That explains it. I had thought the syndicated version was pulled when NBC picked up the show.
But obviously it had not.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon primetime Friday, August 7, 1981
No, it's not a typo; remember that Ch. 11 was NBC
by this time and was carrying the network show,
while Ch. 2 (ABC) had the syndicated one.
It's a typical Ch. 2 programming ploy aimed at Ch. 11,
just as when Ch. 11 put on "The Six Million Dollar Man"
in the afternoons, Ch. 2 countered with "The Bionic Woman"
and won the timeslot hands down. A few years earlier (1972)
Ch. 11 started noon newscasts on weekends; Ch. 2 started
theirs the next year. Ch. 2's are still on the air; Ch. 11 bowed
out in 1974

Re: Retro: Colorado & Wyoming Saturday, January 25, 1964
KTWO/Casper channel 2 ( ABC, CBS, NBC )
4:30 Hootenanny ( Jack Linketter with Johnny Cash )
5:30 Jackie Gleason
6:30 Phil Silvers
9:00 Gunsmoke
Hootenanny would have been at least a week old--probably two, and a kinnie,
guessing VTRs were few and far between in Casper. Silvers--see notes for
KLZ-TV, as by mid-season it was on at 9:30 ET/7:30 MT.
KOA/Denver channel 4 ( NBC )
5:30 Science Series
6:30 Joey Bishop
9:00 Lieutenant

Note Science (what was this?) also aired on sister KOAA-TV at 5:30.
Lieutenant delayed from 5:30.
KOAA/Pueblo channel 5 ( NBC )
5:30 Science Series
6:30 Joey Bishop
9:00 Lieutenant
Network and some other shows fed from KOA-TV Denver.
KFBC/Cheyenne channel 5 and KSTF/Scottsbluff, Nebraska channel 10 ( CBS, ABC, NBC )
5:30 Jackie Gleason
6:30 Lawrence Welk
7:30 Phil Silvers
8:00 Gunsmoke
9:00 Combat !!
10:00 Wyoming News
Curious as to how they got Silvers--did they have microwave feeds from Denver
or just off-air pickups? See also notes on KLZ-TV.

Combat delayed (4 or 11 days?) from Tuesday 7:30 ET. Probably on film.
In summer 1966 I recall Get Smart (8:30 ET/6:30 MT) airing on 16mm film at
8:30 on KFBC-TV.
5:30 Jackie Gleason
6:30 Phil Silvers
7:00 Great Adventure
8:00 Gunsmoke
9:00 Defenders
10:00 Seven News
Adventure is a delay from Friday 7:30 ET. Defenders (here delayed to 9)
aired 8:30 ET/6:30 MT and Silvers at 9:30 ET/7:30 MT. So 6:30 and 7 is either
a TVG error and should be reversed, or else Silvers is on a one-week tape delay
or a one- or two-week delay on film.
6:30 Lawrence Welk
8:30 M Squad
9:00 KBTV Movie of the Week ( 1958 drama "I Accuse" )

The "Science Series" that aired on KOA/KOAA Saturday at 5:30 was actually an NBC show
sponsored by the Bell Telephone System and was produced by Walt Disney.
Not sure how KFBC got Silvers, maybe they did have a hook-up or got them OTA from Denver
since I would imagine the Denver stations could be picked up in Cheyenne but I am not sure if its
the other way around though in the past I have been able to receive Cheyenne RADIO stations in
Denver but then again its that way with Colorado Springs radio as well...possible to get them in
Denver but not Colorado Springs TV. Even in the southern suberbs like Littleton. I had tried doing
that in the past. I wasn't even able to get as much as a flicker from either KKTV or KRDO.
However on the flip side I have been told that the Denver stations DO reach Colorado Springs
OTA. Hmmmmmmmm
Interesting thing I saw in this edition of TV Guide. A rather big ad from Denver's KCTO ( now
KWGN ) making a claim that they had more viewers in Denver than anyone else. Not sure just
how accurate this is bit if this is true, I wonder if this means that Denver was the first market in
the US where an independent station was number one overall in the ratings beating the
networks. Somehow I question that since I have to admit I had never heard of any place at
anytime where an independent station had outranked the network affilates. Some shows and
dayparts..sure that has happened but overall?

Cheyenne sort of sits in a bowl. Denver stations could not be received in Cheyenne without a
very tall mast. Those who lived on the ridges forming the bowl could get the Denver stations. In
1964, that would have been very few people.
The Denver stations were not receivable in most of COS. Here, again, those who lived up high in
the northern part of COS could, but not most of the area.

the question for Jackson and Meridian, but had a brain cramp and put Biloxi in there :

Re: Retro: Detroit/Toledo/Lansing Sat, Aug 11, 1956
Lansing would not get it's own NBC station until 3/15/1959 when WILX-TV Channel 10 ,based in
Jackson at the time, with studios in Jackson, Lansing and Battle Creek signed on in a shared-time
arrangement with Michigan State U's. educational/PBS station WKAR-TV, which after being on
Channel 60 moved to 10 and the shared-time arrangement would alst until 9/1972 when WKAR-
Tv returned on 23,with WILX-TV going solo on 10.
Lansing would not get it's own ABC station until October 1990 with the sign-on of WLAJ-TV 53.
Prior to that WJRT-TV 12 Flint and WUHQ-TV (now WOTV) 41 Battle Creek served as surrogate
ABC stations for the Lansing market.
Toledo would get it's educational /PBS station in 1960 with WGTE-TV 30, and WTOL-TV CBS 11
signed on in 1958 splitting NBC shows with WSPD-TV (now WTVG) 13 which had ABC shows until
WDHO-TV (now WNWO-TV) signed on in 1966. In the 1990's WTVG and WNWO swapped NBC
and ABC with each other.

Re: Retro: Colorado Network Primetime January 28-31, 1964
This is all so strange, these subtle differences between the DEN and the
COS/PUB stations. It's actually fried my brain in that I'm holding off on
trying to comment on each evening's variances from the network feeds,
in addition to station vs. station. Whew!
Many thanks however to mleach for posting more neat stuff from the
TV Guide find. Is Saturday 01/25/64 still to come?
And again if anyone knows a (no doubt) retired Denver net affiliate
master control or video tape engineer from circa 1964, I'd sure like to
find out how the delays were done in terms of tape, film, and what
was same-night vs. a week late.
It must have been hectic during local station breaks at 4/7/9, as I'm
sure the MCO was switching sources into the microwave feeds to
COS/PUB (and maybe Wyoming too?), all while running the station
break which I'm sure was quite "dirty"--a few VTRs perhaps, but
more likely films and slides with either live or taped booth. This
was well before ACR-25s and (shudder!) TCR-100s.

The COS/PUB stations were not exactly fly by night operations. KCSJ-TV was broadcasting NBC
programming in color in 1959. KOA supplied a VTR to new sister station KOAA shortly after
Metropolitan bought KCSJ-TV in 1961. So, by 1964, KOAA had at least on VTR and I would think
the much larger market KOA would have multiple VTR's. I'm sure KLZ-TV and KBTV were probably
similarly equipped. While locally owned, KKTV and KRDO-TV were well equipped, too.

From the 1964 Broadcasting Yearbook (thanks, Old Gringo)...
The COS/PUB stations apparently did not supply their VTR inventory to the
publisher (and all were "net" only in terms of "colorcasting") for this issue,
however the DEN stations did:
KOA-TV 4 NBC--Ampex (3)

KLZ-TV 7 CBS--Ampex (2)
KBTV 9 ABC--RCA (2)

In reply #1 above, please disregard my inquiry about Saturday 01/25/64,
as it already exists here on the Classic TV board. I lost it's placement
earlier but just located again.

Re: Retro: Atlanta Wed, Aug 12, 1998

When did Ch. 2 begin airing "The View" at 11 AM?
I have a 1999 Fall Preview issue and I know they had
it in pattern by that time. In fact, I believe the move
of "The View" to its recommended time marked the first
time all network daytime shows aired in pattern in Atlanta;
if not, it's when Ch. 11 moved "Days Of Our Lives" back to
1 PM.

"Howdy Doody"'s last broadcast was on September
24, 1960. There was a short-lived revival in 1976.

KTLA pioneered helicopter news coverage thanks to Klaus Landsberg. He essentially invented live
remote coverage.

KRCA 4-NBC Los Angeles
11:15 Movie 4 "Hers to Hold"
A few observations:
(a) I did notice the KRCA calls lasted on NBC's L.A. flagship for some 2-1/2 years after its NYC
outlet, WRCA-TV, changed to WNBC-TV on May 22, 1960. (Wonder exactly when the L.A. call
switch happened - it appeared to fall between Nov. 11 and 14, 1962, if Google News references
to Los Angeles Times TV listings are any indication.)
(b) It seems at this point, the weekend movies were the only ones in L.A. which sported the
Movie 4 title as used by WNBC and Washington, DC's WRC-TV, given the weekday afternoon
[Tom] Frandsen's Feature.
(c) I'm in the process of finding whether or not WRCA/WNBC had Hers to Hold in its library
within this period; however, I did find that as of 1963 it was on WOR-TV.

"6:30 Broadcast: New York (which station originated the show?)"

Gee, I'd forgotten about that show. This was an independent production out of an Albany
production company in the early 90s. It was a weekly state-wide feature show, with some
investigative pieces -- but contributions were supposed to come from stations that carried the
program. It was taped in an Albany suburb. I forget the host's name -- I worked with her at
WHEN radio in the late 80s...When she was also a Syracuse TV reporter...First name Beth?...

Wow! At first glance, you'd have thought this was an independent or even a UPN or WB affiliate,
with all of this second-tier syndicated children's programming... Certainly wouldn't have guessed
an NBC affiliate, especially on such a high channel position, would have programmed Saturdays
this way... (Didn't NBC do away with their cartoons later in the 90's?)

Re: Retro: Central Florida Saturday, August 17, 1974
12:30 Go! (kids' show, not the '80s game show)
"GO!!" I believe was nothing more than a kids show using the then-new high tech thing called a
"mini-cam" which allowed the kids to "GO" on location with host Jo Anne Worley such as a
rodeo, a parade or whatever. I believe they even took a trip to the then brand new Sears Tower
in Chicago. The one episode of "GO" I can still remember watching back then was when Worley
had took a trip to Denver's Elitch Gardens Amusement Park. The mini-cam was placed in the
front seat of the Mister Twister Roller Coaster ( at the time one of the biggest coasters in the
country ) and the other rides like the ferris wheel, scrambler, tilt-a-whirl, octopus...you get the
idea. The purpose? So the kids of America can "ride" the coaster and all the other rides at Elitch
Gardens in the comfort of their homes and pjs.
3:30 Movie: "Tom Sawyer" (from 1930,
Jackie Coogan--Uncle Fester to most
of you--plays the title role)

Or how about "Sgt. Barnes" to probably...very few of you?
I thought Tom Berenger was Sgt. Barnes...
8:30 M*A*S*H
9:30 Bob Newhart
10 PM Barnaby Jones
(*SIGH*) Boy, they sure don't make network prime-time lineups like THAT any more.....
And even better with the then-incumbent at 10/9, Carol Burnett, who was "OS"
(look that up in your Brooks & Marsh).
I remember Barnaby more as Thursday at 10/9, or Wednesdays at 8:30/7:30
as Jed.
The Saturday 8:30/7:30 slot was one that CBS seemed to shuttle shows in and
out of each season during the '70s.
"Barnaby Jones" had been moved out of its original Sunday 9:30/8:30 slot
to make room for "60 Minutes," which would do well enough at the same time
the following summer to warrant its present Sunday 7/6 slot in December '75.
In the fall of '74 "Barnaby Jones" began moving in tandem with "Hawaii Five-O,"
first on Tuesdays, then on Fridays in the fall of 1975, and finally on Thursdays
from January 1976-December 1979, when "Five-O" moved to Saturday. "Barnaby"
took over the Thursday 9/8 slot, and "Knots Landing" was put it at 10/9. During
that 5+ years "Five-O" always aired at 9/8, followed by "Barnaby" 10/9.
There were two reasons for the turnover in shows at 8:30 Saturdays, first noticed
when "Bridget Loves Bernie" occupied that slot in 1972-73: lead-in "All In The Family"
was drawing about 50 million viewers (no cable competition), lead-out Mary Tyler Moore,
about 40 million. "Bridget Loves Bernie," although a top-10 show, attracted about 30
million...too many people switching channels or leaving the room to suit CBS. So in
'73 "M*A*S*H" got the slot and became a full-fledged hit; it should have stayed there,
but Fred Silverman saw it as his giant-killer; when he scheduled it on Fridays against
NBC's "Chico And The Man," the latter show never regained the strength of its first season.
"Paul Sand In Friends And Lovers" never caught the public's fancy; "The Jeffersons" did,
but when the family-hour rule forced "AITF" out of the 8 PM slot in 1975, the turnover
really began...and then ABC clicked with "The Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island" in the
1977-78 season.
But while it lasted, the CBS Saturday-night block was the original "must-see TV"; we
used to jam the TV rooms in the dorm to watch. And I still wish WGN or somebody
would run the '70s Bob Newhart shows again.

Think 1962-1963, NBC, Sunday 6:30/5:30 (as everyone goes rushing
to their Brooks & Marsh). Obscurity rules!

dramas such as "The Fall Of The City")
...Fall of the City was Archibald MacLeish, not Norman Corwin. Corwin's most important pieces
were We Hold These Truths (15 December 1941, the 150th Anniversary of the Bill of Rights
becoming part of the Constitution, and only 8 days after Pearl Harbor was bombed), On a Note
of Triumph (8 May 1945, VE Day) and Fourteen August (14 August 1945, the day the Japanese
announced they were surrendering to the Allies to end World War 2)...
The Corwin/MacLeish mixup is what I get for dabbling
too deeply into radio history. But I remember reading
somewhere the Corwin 1941 program that aired after
Pearl Harbor had an all-star cast headed by Lionel
Barrymore.
"Fall Of The City" did have an impact, though, on Orson
Welles, who used the same breaking-news technique for
the more famous "War Of The Worlds."

...indeed, Norman Corwin's We Hold These Truths did feature Lionel Barrymore, but the "host"
was James Stewart, by special arrangement with the Army Air Forces (he enlisted back in March
'41), and among the supporting players were Orson Welles, Edward G. Robinson, Walter Brennan
and Walter Huston. In fact, Welles had been on the Gulf Screen Guild Theatre the night of 7
December 1941 in another Corwin script, Between Americans (one that, for whatever reason,
Corwin himself isn't particularly fond of; I think it's very good)...
...and I think another Archibald MacLeish script that had even more profound an effect on
Welles' version of The War of the Worlds was Air Raid, which was broadcast only three nights
before WOTW and (IIRC) used actual CBS newsman John Charles Daly as its radio reporter...

Carol's variety show I believe didn't use the "Carol Burnett and Friends" title until the skits went
into syndication in the late '70s. Unless it used the CB&F title for the summer.

Hi
About Carol Burnett, Funny you should mention that. Yes you are correct. Carol Burnett's show
was merely "The Carol Burnett Show" during its CBS TV Prime time run which I believe was
winding down by 1977. That fall actually, the show went into syndication with the title I used. I
only used that title because that was what I was used to calling the show. By the way Channel 17
in Philadelphia would get the Carol Burnett show that coming fall.

A few questions that may have been asked about some parts of these listings are probably
answered here, such as WVII doing their own version of the 4:00 Movie just like ABCs original
five O&Os at the time (and even doing a 9:00 AM movie), but there are likely some new
questions that need to be addressed.

Re: Retro: Louisiana--Thu, Aug 23, 1984--daytime
6am channel 38, "HOT" was indeed a music video show with HOT meaning "Hits Of Today".
Not too long after these listings the infamous supermarket tabolid Weekly World News for some
reason actually took credit for HOT getting cancelled when their critic Rex Winston slammed the
show in his column and all music videos in general including MTV and The Nashville Network
calling such things..trash. Of course what Winston & Weekly World News didn't know ( or
wouldn't admit ) was that HOT was a show that was planned to air only during the summer of 84
anyway. Just a filler program that was taking advantage of the then current music video craze.
Not the first time "Rex Winston" didn't know what the hell he/she was talking about. After
getting into some legal issue with the pay network Showtime over what the paper/critic had said
about that channel that was published ( Winston claimed that Showtime was planning on
showing hardcore porn ), it was then that the Weekly World News had admitted what most
everyone else already knew...just about everything in that paper was fake and that the "people"
who wrote columns in the paper such as Rex Winston, Ed Anger and "Dear Dotti Pemrose"..well
they didn't exist either. It was all a joke even though Anger & Pemrose or I should say whoever
wrote their columns by claiming to be them continued to be featured in the taboild off/on until
the end of the original Weekly World News just last year.
Password Plus was actually Super Password, when it signed on.
Sorry for the error; it is SO easy to get those two mixed up, especially since their rules were
identical. I was never a fan of "Super;" Allen Ludden's death pretty much took the appeal of the
game away, to me.

I hate to be "that guy", but do you have listings for the previous (or following) weekend?
Sorry, friend, I only spent a weekend in New Orleans, and this is the only edition I got my hands
on.
IIRC, I actually picked up this copy in Baton Rouge, on a side trip to see the Louisiana State
Capitol and the LSU campus; I wonder, come to think of it, whether the New Orleans-only
edition was still being sold at the time.
In any case, I wish I could help, but thanks for asking.

Yes, the New Orleans-only edition which started sometime in 1972 was still being sold as late as
August of 2002.

Re: Retro: Newfoundland (Tuesday, August 24, 1982)
That's one of a number of things I'm unsure about. Also, what was used to fill the other 15
minutes in each of the spots between A.M. Weather, and did WTVS (or if it wasn't WTVS,
another PBS station) air any programming, like in-school stuff, between 9 and 3 ET?

programming?

I would assume they did at that time.

Is the program "Circus" the Canadian-produced variety show
or the Bert Parks-hosted series from the '70s that got a lot
of play on WGN?
That's the CTV show...in later years, Quebec singer-TV personality Pierre Lalonde (who was also
host of The Mad Dash back in the day) took over the hosting reins.
Was the Canadian "Circus" ever seen on American stations? I recall looking through old
Broadcasting magazines that Viacom was going to syndicate the show to US stations around
1979 -- no doubt station empathy, as well as reruns of Fox's own "Circus!" with Bert Parks, killed
that idea.

I have a August 1984 Nfld Herald in my collection; NTV had dropped the ATV newscasts by 1984.
They still carried Shantytown and the A-Plus Loto draws from ATV, however. They apparently had
a news arrangement, I can remember seeing the occasional NTV report on the ATV Evening
News in the 80s.

Was that just a weekend thing, or were they off completely in the summer? Given that a
university like USF does have classes during the summer, I'd think they still had a limited slate of
instructional programs on weekdays, no?
According to old microfilms that I have seen of the local papers, WUSF did not broadcast on
weekends, school holidays or the summer until sometime in the mid-1970s (I think around
1974), when they began 7-day, year-round programming.
Correct. In '73 WUSF did not broadcast at all in the summer.

Re: RETRO: New York City TV - Friday, Nov. 22, 1963 (Network O&O's)
A major amendment to the WABC-TV schedule:
At 2:55 PM, was usually aired News with the Woman's Touch, then anchored by Lisa Howard.

That would certainly be politically incorrect today! IIRC,
Purex was the sponsor, and "the woman's touch" was part
of their slogan.

That would sound about right, given sponsors' influence in those days.
But a year after the JFK assassination, Miss Howard was given the heave-ho by ABC over a
political endorsement during the period of the conventions (she subsequently sued over
wrongful termination, but her suit was thrown out and she died in 1965 an apparent suicide),
and was replaced on this newscast by Marlene Sanders.

In 1963 Lisa Howard had gone to Cuba to interview Fidel
Castro; she reported back to JFK, who thought it would
be a good idea to normalize relations with Cuba. However,
he was assassinated before that could happen, and LBJ was

determined not to establish a channel to Cuba, lest he be
considered soft on Communism. What's more, Howard had
apparently fallen in love with Castro and what with her rapport
with him, the CIA was tailing her. There were also right-wingers
who tried to block her original interview with Castro from being
shown, to no avail. In 1964 she did indeed come out in favor
of Bobby Kennedy's opponent for the Senate seat from New
York. The combination of being fired for this, a miscarriage,
and an addiction to sleeping pills contributed to her apparent
suicide in 1965. But like the deaths (ruled suicide) of George
Reeves and Dorothy Kilgallen, we'll never know for sure if it
was suicide or murder; we'll just have to take the coroner's
word for it.

Of course, George Reeves was the only one of these three who had no connection, directly or
indirectly, to the JFK assassination . . . As for Miss Kilgallen, though, she had problems over the
years with drug and alcohol addiction (to such a point it sometimes affected her on-air conduct
on What's My Line?, not to mention her appearance), and her health had been in a steady
decline since the late 1950's, so the other theory out there is that her body finally gave out after
years of such issues.

About Lisa Howard..the story I remember hearing years ago was that she had walked into a
Walgreens Drug Store on 7/4/65, bought a bunch pills on her Mastercharge ( Mastercard now ),
went out to her car and overdosed. If this was the case, I can't see how her death could be even
considered "murder" unless somebody forced her into that Walgreens to buy those pills and
forced her to swallow. Wasn't there witnesses to this? I would imagine since we are talking
Walgreens on a holiday they would had been. Be sort of like taking pills and killing yourself at a
Target store on a Saturday afternoon. Ah somebody would notice it.
But then again stranger things have happened.

That's the story I've heard, too. The murder theory is
that Ms. Howard was getting too friendly with Fidel
Castro to suit the government, but I've heard and read
too much that suggests suicide. Things were obviously
not going well in her life. Likewise, with Dorothy
Kilgallen, she had been to Dallas and interviewed Jack
Ruby; apparently she was about to go public with what
he had told her re the JFK assassination. However, there
was no evidence of a forced entry into her home the night
she died, and so it's very likely she did die of an accidental
overdose of sleeping pills. Some people love to sensationalize
these things.
And I know someone's kidding about George Reeves and JFK;
the point is that it's still an open question whether any of these
deaths were suicides or murders. I personally think Lisa Howard's
was suicide, Dorothy Kilgallen's was an accident...and I'm still on
the fence about Reeves, but let's not reopen that one.

Yep, facetious sarcasm - unfortunately, the "wink" icon can no longer be rendered (on my

Mine either. Again, let me emphasize that I'm talking
about unsolved mysteries and that basically I'm convinced
of the official explanations of Lisa Howard's and Dorothy
Kilgallen's death. I suspect there will be a lot of debate
about Michael Jackson's death as well: the coroner has ruled
it a homicide and his doctor will probably be charged with
manslaughter. Seems that on the night of June 24-25 he had
given Jackson several medications to induce sleep and had not
been successful...until the last one. It should be in your morning
papers or online.
I'm a little foggy on the Kilgallen situation. What info was it that she was suppose to have that
was so controversial?

I have to wonder if at least some of these rumors about Kilgallen such as her death, weird
moods, ties to the mob, the JFK stuff, her "fighting" with celebrities...wonder if any of this is tied
to Dick Clark ? Since Clark flat out HATED Dorothy Killgallen and vowed back in the early 60's to
"get back at that bitch !!".
The story goes that in one of her columns ( around 1959 ), Killgallen had "reported" that Dick
Clark was having this hot & heavy affair with Connie Francis...even going as far as saying that
Connie's hit "Lipstick On Your Collar" was really about the two of them having this fetish of giving
each other "hickies" ( Gee..Ihaven't heard that word in awhile ). The thing was Dick Clark was a
married man with a son at the time and Connie herself already had "personal issues" such as
having a strict tough father who laid down the law with his daughter (once he even chased her
then boyfriend Bobby Darin with a loaded gun !! ).
Anyway..this "scandal" more/less destroyed Dick Clark's marriage and I believe for a time he
even lost custody of his son and for Connie Francis...this led to a breakdown..the first of many for
her over the years. Not sure if Connie ever "forgave" Killgallen but Dick Clark never did. Not at all
!!
Some years back I saw of photo in one of my books taken of Dick Clark holding a mic at some
movie premier or something..standing right next to Dorothy Killgallen. While Dorothy had a
simile on her face..the look on Dick Clark's face..well the "mean look" was a BIG understatement.

Because the shooting didn't happen until 1:30 EST -- that's why FNB wasn't interrupted in the
East. However, the ABC Aircheck that exists came from somewhere else in another time zone
where FNB (which was apparently being fed on a one-hour delay) was the program broken into
by the bulletins. There was a whole long discussion of where that video may have come from,
with no firm conclusions, in this thread (the relevant discussion starts with the last post on this
page):

I have to wonder if this backstory explains why Mr. Clark only made two appearances on What's
My Line? (as a guest panelist, alongside Miss Kilgallen, interestingly enough) within a month of
each other in 1958, and none thereafter, not appearing on the program again until the 1970's on
the syndicated version when he was a mystery guest.
But even before the Clark brouhaha, Miss Kilgallen had been in Arthur Godfrey's crosshairs,
dating back to the period after his 1953 firing of Julius LaRosa. Not to mention Frank Sinatra,
who didn't appear on WML? until a year after Miss Kilgallen's death.

Re: Retro: Newfoundland (Thursday, August 26, 1982)
Is there a half-hour difference factored into Newfoundland Time? I noticed the American
network primetime schedules started at :30 instead of on the hour.

Re: Retro: Newfoundland (Thursday, August 26, 1982)
I'm not sure how to read it, but I would say yes...
Newfoundland Time is 30 minutes ahead of Atlantic Time, and is 90 minutes ahead of Eastern
Time.

St. John's, NL Cable Lineup (August 21, 1982) plus Question
According to the August 21-27, 1982 issue of The Newfoundland Herald
3 CBC (CBNT)
4 NTV/CTV (CJON)
5 PBS (no exact affiliation listed, see below)
7 ABC (WVII Bangor)

8 Corner Brook Community Channel
9 St. Johns Community Channel
11 NBC (WLBZ Bangor)
12 House of Commons/Galaxie (TVO/Rogers)
13 MUN Channel
Although in my seven postings of listings from August 21 to 27, 1982 I said WTVS and placed a *
by it each time, I said it was subject to further research. Well, I read a little further and it was
not until September 1, 1983 that CANCOM (now Shaw Broadcast Services) began carrying
nationally the four main Detroit stations (which at the time were WJBK, WDIV, WXYZ, and
WTVS). This leads me to ask this question: What local, if any, PBS affiliate did St. Johns get
programming from until they got WJBK and WTVS (and later WDIV and WXYZ)? Also of note, this
was probably the first week PBS listings were included, starting with this particular issue of the
Herald.

Re: St. John's, NL Cable Lineup (August 21, 1982) plus Question
I would think they might've gotten the PBS signal from MPBN in Maine (probably WMEB in
Orono, serving Bangor), as the cable system carried NBC and ABC from Bangor as well.

Another question: Why wasn't a CBS station (presumably one from Maine) offered on St. John's
cable lineup?

My local cableco, Central Cable TV (now EastLink), was the same way...we didn't get CBS or PBS
until Cancom launched- NBC and ABC came from Bangor. Those signals were switched in the late
80s to their Motown counterparts because of signal concerns with WVII. We've had all Boston
sigs (apart from Fox from Rochester, NY) since 1998.

I don't think South Carolina ETV programs in "the main part
of the day" in the summer; at least it didn't at that time.

In 1997? They must have. What happened to all the kids shows?

I don't have any issues of TV Guide from 1997 but I do
have some from the summer of 2002; SCETV was definitely
programming kids' shows in summer daytime by that time.
Perhaps somebody else would like to take a stab at this.

Re: Retro: New York City Mon, Aug 27, 1956
What type of show was Johnny Carson hosting in 56? That was before Who Do You Trust?
I know he hosted a show in LA in the early 50s called "Carson's Cellar".

From what I gather in Wesley Hyatt's "Encyclopedia Of
Daytime Television," it was fairly similar to Letterman's
1980 morning show, with offbeat guests and recurring
sketches like "Happy Household Hints" and "Carson's
Correspondence Etiquette Clinic," both sendups of daytime

women's shows popular at the time; Carson also did a proto-
Karnack, wherein he answered questions wearing a mortarboard.
Carson's show was ultimately canceled for lack of a sponsor; he
was considered too hip for a housewife audience more accustomed
to Arthur Godfrey, Art Linkletter, and Garry Moore. CBS was unable
to find a more suitable format (why didn't they try late night?) and let
him get away to ABC and "Who Do You Trust?" The rest, as the saying
goes, is history.

5:30 Evening Theater "Incident"
This is the program that, on or about Feb. 3, 1957, became Movie 4. (I have since verified this
date, as it was in the Feb. 3, 1957 New York Times that the first reference to this hallowed title
was in WRCA-TV advertising; the film shown that Sunday night was the Gregory Peck film Man
with a Million.)

2n-7b Movie "The Ultimate Chase" (called The Ultimate Chase in theatres)
Then what was it called on TV? ???
That should read "the Ultimate Thrill" for the TV title.

NOTE: This is typical of Marty Starger's time as head
programmer at ABC. He loved to import shows and movies
from England ("The Bliss Of Mrs. Blossom" is an example),
as well as try to elevate viewers' tastes ("War And Peace").
Unfortunately, his efforts weren't suited to ABC's audience
and by 1974 the network was in dire straits in the ratings.
Out he went, to be replaced by Elton Rule and (in '75) Fred
Silverman, who would go for the bread and butter and put
ABC on top in 1976.

When did "Suncoast Magazine" with Christine Chubbuck start running on WXLT?
Probably the following week -- the Wikipedia article references an article published August 30
(the Thursday following the Monday of this schedule) in the Siesta Key Pelican announcing the
new show, so likely it premiered the following Monday. (Or Tuesday since Monday would have
been Labor Day -- you generally don't debut a new show on a day when everyone is at the beach
and not watching TV...)

Re: Retro: Western New England Wed, Sept 2, 1970
A few questions: At what point did WSMW-TV 27 (later WHLL, now WUNI) in Worcester, MA sign
on, and when did TV Guide's Western New England edition start carrying their listings?
I'm surprised that WWLP - 22 didn't have an 11PM newscast---Can that be right?
DIdn't notice that...22 did run news at 11, didn't catch that when I proofread it before posting :-[

As a kid, I recall seeing Channel 27 show up in the Western New England edition of TV Guide in
1972. It was intriguing because the station could not be received over the air even with a rooftop
antenna & rotor where I lived in Enfield, CT. Later on, when attending high school, I had friends
in other parts of Enfield (namely the Hazardville section) who were able to pull in Channel 27
with a rooftop antenna.

Question - did WNBK have much in the way of local programming, being an NBC O&O? I don't
see a local newscast for WNBK but that may be because it was a Sunday.
WNBK had as much local programming as any station in the 1950's In the 1952-55 era they had
hosts such as Maggi Byrne, Louise Winslow, Gloria Brown and Mildred Funnell hosting Women's
Shows..News/Weather/Sports was handled by Ed Wallace, Tom Field, Joe Finan, Tom Haley and
Tom Manning..Looking at 1954-55 TV Guides, Nobody really did local news on Sunday in that
era..
Movie hosting was done by Haley and Lawson Demming, who later assisted Woodrow the
Woodsman (He did puppet voices) at KYW and WJBK Detroit and later became known as Sir
Graves Ghastly on Detroit TV..

I should also mention that "TV Sunday School" and "Spirituals" with hostess Mary Holt on the
Sunday Schedule were local shows..Pat Patterson was also local..An outdoor living/sports host

You'd be hard-pressed to find local news on weekends anywhere in the 1950s. I think I've posted
some Atlanta schedules where WAGA would have five minutes at 11 PM on Saturday and
Sunday, then go into a movie; traditional market leader WSB wouldn't even do that. I suspect
that situation, or something like it, existed everywhere; after all, local news wasn't a profit center
in those days.

Re: Retro: DC/Baltimore/Harrisonburg Sun, Sept 3, 1961
Re the 12 noon listing for Channel 9: Looks like WTOP was one of the few TV stations to pick up
"Hilarious Hundred", a package of pre-1948 Columbia two-reel comedies that didn't star the
3 Stooges. "Headin' for a Weddin'" stars Vera Vague.
Screen Gems was hoping that "Hilarious Hundred" (actually 200 shorts) would match the success
of the "3 Stooges" package, but only the Andy Clyde and Buster Keaton Columbia shorts seemed
to have any staying power. (I grew up in Cincinnati, where WCPO-TV ran most of the non-Stooge
shorts, including Hugh Herbert, Sterling Holloway, Harry Von Zell and Schilling & Lane).

The old Washington Star was VERY popular in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia which is my
guess as to why the listings for Harrisonburg's WSVA is featured.
Also for some odd reason WSVA's channel 3 signal more/less ( more in some places..not at all in
others ) reached Northern Virginia too. Interesting signal to say the least. I had family who lived
within 25 miles of Harrisonburg back in the 70's who had a very difficult time getting
WSVA/WHSV but on the flip side I had an uncle who lived in Leesburg, VA some 80+ miles away
who had no problem at all getting WHSV.
And this sort of thing continues today even in this day of DTV. There are people to the west of
Harrisonburg ( mainly West Virginia ) who can't get WHSV-DT but all the way north to
Hagerstown, MD..WHSV has begun to pick up a cult following there but for all the wrong
reasons. Mainly that is due to WHSV's Winchester-based subchannel "TV3 Winchester" and the
fact that TV3 Winchester's weathergal Lauryn Ricketts' has very big breasts.
Well whatever it takes to get the viewers I suppose..

3 WSVA-CBS/NBC/ABC Harrisonburg (the Star mentioned WSVA's listings were EST, was DC and
Baltimore EDT at the time?)
Washington and Baltimore were indeed on EDT from the last Sunday in April to the
last Sunday in October during 1961--according to Doris (you remember her).
As for Harrisonburg, VA, it's murky. Her book has the city on EDT from April 30 to
October 1, but also notes "by 1961 the whole state was in confusion" (re DST).
Being a real time geek, I have to say one of the best pieces of legislation ever
passed by Congress (and signed into law) was the Uniform Time Act of 1966
which took effect with the 1967 DST period. It was an absolute mess before
then, especially after WWII through 1966.

This show was hosted by the now-deceased Sophie Altman, whose high school quiz creation It's
Academic would premiere roughly a month later. (I got to meet Mrs. Altman when I attended an
It's Academic taping on November 11, 2000.)

As far as John Crosby on Channel 5 at 9 P.M.: Mr. Crosby, once a TV columnist for the New York
Herald Tribune, in 1960-61 had a show that originated from WTTG's New York sister station, then
known as WNEW-TV; apparently WTTG (likewise run by what was then called Metropolitan
Broadcasting) ran it also. I.I.N.M., this was before David Susskind's Open End moved from then
WNTA-TV (at this point in its last months of operation as a commercial station before being
retooled as "educational" WNDT, now PBS affiliate WNET) to his first WNEW gig which lasted
from '61 to '63 (from 1963 to 1966 Susskind and Open End were at WPIX Channel 11, before
returning to WNEW where, as The David Susskind Show, it remained on the air for the next 20
years).
In addition, both WNEW and WTTG had what was then called Metropolitan Movie among its
movie showcase umbrella titles (derived from the aforementioned Metropolitan Broadcasting).
After the broadcasting units were rebranded as Metromedia Television (and Metromedia Radio)
in 1967, that movie show was retitled Metromedia Movie, lasting until control of the stations
went to Fox in 1986.
And about the Movie 4 Matinee at 2:30 P.M. on WRC-TV: This title was also for Saturday and/or
Sunday afternoon movie screenings within that time slot on New York's WNBC-TV at the time.
I believe Virginia went on EDT in 1962; my first trip to
Virginia, to Williamsburg, was in 1963, and the state was
on EDT then, while North Carolina was still on EST and
would be until 1967.
Interesting, too, that there are more CBS shows on WSVA
(WHSV) than there would be when I moved to Virginia five
years later. In 1966, although the station was carrying all
three heritage networks, it was an NBC primary; what few
CBS shows I remember were all the soaps except "Search
For Tomorrow" and "Guiding Light," Andy Griffith, Red Skelton,
"Gunsmoke," "Daktari," "Captain Kangaroo," and that's about it;
Ch. 3 carried Huntley-Brinkley instead of Cronkite. In April 1968
it dropped CBS altogether and became an ABC primary, with a
few NBC shows mixed into slots when ABC was down.

I was going to ask about John Crosby..He had a Syndicated TV/Radio columm that ran in my
hometown paper the Canton (Ohio) Repository from the 1940's-Till possibly as late as the
1970's..He seemed to me to be very "highbrow" and didnt like much of what "the common
people" liked especially as far as Television

Hey John Erickson: re "Hilarious Hundred." I haven't thought of those in a while. WNOK TV, the
CBS affiliate in Columbia ran them. Some were rather good...they interespersed them with the
Stooges.

the state was on EDT then, while North Carolina was still on EST and would be until 1967.
For 1962, Doris' book on time changes shows the several counties adjacent to
D.C. using the "common" DST dates, while most of the rest of Virginia observed
EDT from 05/30-09/03, with the exception of Bristol, VA which remained on EST.
Similar "oddball" dates in 1963, with Bristol still EST-ing.
Was that to keep with Tennessee, since Kingsport and Johnson City make up the rest of the Tri-
Cities?
I know Chattanooga was on EST.
Evidentally, since there was no full-bore DST in either zone in TN prior
to 1967, only spot observances here and there during various years.

They have "counties" in Canada? For some reason I had thought would be considered a county
in most US states would be called an "R.G." in Canada.
"R.G." as in regional government

For example the "county" that covers Toronto I believe is called "York R.G.", at least that was
what I remember seeing when I was last in Toronto.

Ontario is complex -- there are counties, regions, districts and independent cities (including one
called the "City of Prince Edward County"). In Quebec, there are Rural County Municipalities
(RCM, or in French, MRC) and agglomerated municipalities. Countylike levels of government may
vary in other provinces.

Sounds like America. Between "independent cities" like Baltimore, St. Louis, Carson City and
every city in Virginia. "Merged city-counties" like Denver, Louisville, Indianapolis plus I think
Kansas City and those Louisanna Parishes plus Alaska........America is almost as complex.

In Nova Scotia, it gets a bit complicated with the counties (or techincally, district municipalities) :
* Queens, Halifax and Cape Breton Counties are Regional Municipalities as a result of shotgun
municipal marriages in the 90s
* 5 counties (Guysborough, Lunenburg, Shelburne, Yarmouth and Digby) actually have 2 district
muncipalities in their counties...in the case of the last 2, language has something to do with it as
Clare (southern Digby Co) and Argyle (southern Yarmouth Co) are predominantly Acadian
(descended from French settlers)

Does anybody know when the bicycling of both WLBZ and WEMT Bangor ceased in Nova Scotia?
I would imagine a microwave feed would have become available a few years later. I have heard
that most of New Brunswick got a live feed of at least WLBZ from the time cable first became
available (at least in larger centers such as Fredericton and Saint John), in the mid-late 1960s.

I have some Chronicle Herald supplements from 1977- the NS cablecos were getting direct feeds
by then.

every city in Virginia. "Merged city-counties" like Denver, Louisville, Indianapolis plus I think
Kansas City and those Louisanna Parishes plus Alaska........America is almost as complex.
Don't forget the original big city-county merger: Jacksonville and Duval County, Florida. The
entire county is part of the city of Jax, with the exception of the 3 beach towns (Jacksonville
Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach), and 2 tiny rural communities (Baldwin and Maxville) in
the western part of the county, all of whom opted out of the 1968 merger. In fact, for a long time
(maybe still) Jacksonville, by virtue of the merger, had (has?) the largest area (sq. mi.) of any U.S.
city. (I don't know if any more recent mergers, like Miami-Dade County [another not mentioned
above] have surpassed that.)
When it comes to the U.S., there's also a lot of variation state-to-state of what exactly
constitutes a "city," "town," "village," "township," etc., in the legal definition and it its place in
the pecking order of government. Townships, especially, have a wide variety of forms, from just
old land grant designations in one state, to a fully self-governed community in another, etc. Near
my grandparents' cottage in Vermont was the city of Vergennes -- in that era about 1 sq. mi. and
maybe 2000-3000 residents, they used to bill themselves as "Smallest City in the U.S.A." But it
was a "city" by virtue of its form of government, not its size -- there were countless "towns" in
the state bigger in both area and population. And it can get confusing, for example, when you
have the city of Rutland right next to "Rutland Town."
And don't forget, Virginia and Pennsylvania aren't even "states" -- technically they are
"commonwealths." <g>

Kentucky and Massachusetts are "Commonwealths" as well.
yes it can be quite confusing...Some years back on another site some guy had mentioned that
Baltimore city wasactually in Baltimore County..despite other people claiming otherwise..the guy
wouldn't budge..that is until somebody within Maryland's government put that "debate" to rest.
Years ago I seem to recall reading in the USA Today that the city of Buffalo was to annex all of
Erie County, New York to become the "new" city of Buffalo which would make that city again one
of America's largest cities but that for one reason or another never came to be so Buffalo
continues to be a city LOSING people. Hard to believe but at one time Buffalo was a top 15
media market..if not in the top 10.
Virginia OTOH has strict rules in place against cities to annex. If the rules weren't in
place..Virginia's list of "big cities" would be quite different with cities like Harrisonburg,
Winchester and Charlottesville easily topping 100,000 and Roanoke would be a city of at least
200,000 people.
Of course none of this means anything to Neilsen...since one is still dealing with the same
amount of viewers.

Oh, gawd - what was the concept of this show? Steve Doocy introducing cartoons? I bet Keith

WHAG 25-NBC Hagerstown
11:00 News
mid. Movie "The Elephant Man"
2:00 sign-off
From June of 87 until around April 1990, actually WHAG stayed on the air until 4 maybe 5am on
late Saturday night/early Sunday morning airing their all-night locally produced program "Club
KMZ".
"KMZ" being nearby Martinsburg. WV's WKMZ-FM 97.5 ( the area's main top 40 music station at
the time ) and the hosts were all WKMZ jocks ( Gary Michaels, Rob Mario, Matt Steele and Dan
Turner ). Mostly "Club KMZ" aired music videos, talked about upcoming concerts, had guests
( DC area shock jock "The Greaseman" was one such guest ) and taped comedy. The latter was
what got "Club KMZ" yanked off the air suddenly in April 1990 when the KMZ crew went to visit
the grave of country singer Patsy Cline only to have some guy in drag dressed up as Patsy singing
"..I go out..Stompin after Midnight....." as he was standing directly ON TOP of Patsy's grave. Then
after the song..he says "..like for you to meet a special friend of mine....the REAL..Patsy Cline !!".
Then the camera has a close-up of him holding a chicken bone. Ah..people were not happy !!!
But "Club KMZ" did inspire at least one sketch on Saturday Night Live..the mid 90's John
Goodman from the show "Roseanne" did a comedy bit about "hairy gay bears and cubs" that
was actually based on a skit that had aired on "Club KMZ" several years before with Rob Mario.
SNL even admitted that. The fact that WHAG is an NBC affiliate (even if WHAG hadn't aired SNL
at the time ) I am sure helped.
As I can recall "Club KMZ" took at least one weekend off a month so I assume that is why these
listing show WHAG going off the air at 2am as usually the time from 2-5am was resvered for
WKMZ. Unless of course TV Guide didn't want to bother listing them.

Re: Retro: Gulf Coast Sat, Sept 8, 1984
I doubt if WTVY made it a habit to run only 30 minutes of
"The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show," but you'll note the
station had a pretty full sports plate that day; they were on
the SEC network, then there was tennis on CBS. So to get
their wrestling show in, they no doubt aired it at a special
time. I'd bet that if you looked at subsequent weeks Bugs

and the Road Runner would be on in their entirety.

I find it kind of unusual for two unrelated stations in the same city carrying the same program at
the same time (unless it was an infomercial). Could it be that WMBB was showing something
else at that time?

Wow! I thought this show only aired on WABC/7 in New York. So this show was
syndicated/network?

I think this show was syndicated; I've never known ABC
to carry a network show at 11:30/10:30 on Saturday night.

Ah..had this program would had aired five years earlier ( 1979 )..safe bet to say that Menudo
would NOT be a part of the lineup. Boy George OTOH would had been right at home at 54 in
those days !!
By the time of these listings New York's Studio 54 was not the same Studio 54 as we come to
know and remember under the Steve Rubell & Ian Schrager days. The days of that infamous
restrictive admission policy ( even CHER and the famous disco band Chic were turned away..get a
chance read about the orgins of their tune "Le Freak" ), the drugs, the sex, money hidden away
in trash bags, more sex, live horses on the dance floor, the stars doing coke in the bathrooms,
even more sex, Liza Minnelli. Hmmmm..the more I think of it the latter part really makes
sense...one would had to be high on coke to even consider thinking of sex with Liza
Minnelli !!!..but anyway THAT was Studio 54 !!!!
Sadly ( or maybe not-so depending on your point of view )..by 1984 Studio 54 was just your
average disco where you, I and even Cher could enter without having some short little shrimp
guy telling us otherwise.

I double-checked that listing...and that is indeed correct, both of Panama City's Big 3 affiliates
(IIRC WTVY provides CBS to PC and WJHG relays NBC to Dothan?) was carrying Solid Gold at
6pm; I have no clue why they did that...
Doesn't WSFA provide NBC to Dothan?
As I see it, I think both WSFA and WJHG share Dothan -- they are both available on cable there.
And WJHG and WTVY occasionally air each other's stories- they're sister stations.

I'm not sure but I think NBC considers WSFA its de facto Dothan affiliate,
much as WECT/6 Wilmington was for Myrtle Beach until the Grand Strand
got its own NBC affiliate, WMBF/32, in 2008; WIS/10 Columbia was also
carried on cable in Myrtle Beach until WMBF's arrival. Maybe someday Dothan will
have its own NBC affiliate and Panama City, its own CBS one; I don't know
why nobody in either market is using a subchannel to do this.

I know; you would think someone in those areas would follow Myrtle Beach's example and
construct a new network affiliate on cable! (If I recall correctly, WMBF is cable-only.)

Myrtle Beach's WMBF signal is actually over the air on digital channel 32.
Actually a "cable only" network affiliate really isn't a good idea unless if the channel in question
is 100% owned by the cable system and not by someone else otherwise its drama in the waiting
as Gray Television had found out the hard way when their Harrisonburg, VA's WHSV launched
the northern Shenandoah Valley, Virginia ABC affiliate.."TV3 Winchester" a few years ago.
Even though "TV3 Winchester" does broadcast an OTA signal ( WHSV-DT 49.3 ), too many people
in the area "assumed" that "TV3 Winchester" was strictly a Comcast venture. At first that was no
big deal but when Comcast recently decided to suspend all local TV production in the
Winchester, VA area..well...a lot of people "assumed" that TV3 Winchester would be defunct as
well..the result.. what was once a very successful venture on the part of Gray TV ( with the ABC-
TV affiliation in the valley Gray was actually making more money for a time with TV3 Winchester
than with Harrisonburg's ABC 3)...with the "rumors"..a lot of local Winchester, VA area
businesses today won't have anything to do with their own local ABC affiliate because they really
believe Comcast will pull the plug even though TV3 Winchester is totally owned by Gray and
Comcast doesn't have a single say in regards to "TV3 Winchester" other than carriage.
To sum it up..you really are at the mercy of somebody else.
Time Warner Cable carries WMBF on Channel 10, where WIS was. WMBF was set up as digital-
only; just as well since it went on the air in August 2008 and it would have been a waste of time
to do an analog-to-digital conversion just ten months later.

I'm amazed that so much network programming airs on
another network's affiliate (Channel 6 is a case in point).
I'm also surprised that 6 didn't carry either "American
Bandstand" or "Who Do You Trust?" but then again, both
had been on less than a year and 6 had probably locked
in its 3-5 PM programming before then.
BTW, Dick Clark, in his autobiography "Rock, Roll and
Remember," says he waged a constant on-air campaign
to get ABC to stop interrupting "Bandstand" at 3:30 so it
could show "Trust." He got his wish that fall: "Beat The
Clock" was put at 3, and "Bandstand" started on the network
at 4, its timeslot until 1963.

Which led the way of the infamous "feud" between Dick Clark and Johnny Carson that leasted
for decades perhaps even until Carson's death as both men are quite famous for holding a
grudge for years such as Carson refusing to even say a word to Joan Rivers after she had went to
FOX to do her own show. Those two never did speak again...ever !!
Even though Carson did produced that bloopers TV show back in the 80s with Clark and
McMahon doing the hosting honors..even then Clark and Carson were still NOT speaking to each
other as Ed had to play the peace keeper between the two icons.

Clark, in his book, said that Carson had never invited
him on "The Tonight Show," and that was several years
before Carson gave up the late-night grind. AFAIK, Clark
never did appear on the show. Oddly, though (and I guess
this was before Clark started lobbying to have "Who Do You
Trust?" moved), Carson did make an appearance on Clark's
Saturday-night show in 1958; he played the drums and got
in a plug for his afternoon gamefest.

Although the two men had a lot of close mutual friends. Ed McMahon was certainly one...David
Letterman another, who stayed close to Johnny 'till the end and remains a friend of Clark's--and
often had Clark on as a guest as long as his health permitted (after his stroke impaired his
speech, of course, you rarely see Clark for more than brief appearances on New Years' Eve,
although he's still involved behind the scenes in running his production companies).

I grew up in Cincinnati in the 1950s, and can remember that "The Edge of Night" opened with a
picture of the Cincinnati skyline--because its sponsor was Cincy-based Procter and Gamble.
Interesting to note that CBS affiliate WKRC didn't clear the show, and that it was picked up by
ABC affiliate WCPO. (Incidentally, its lead-in, "The Bean", was a children's show!)
Also worth noting that Jack Paar wasn't picked up by NBC affiliate WLWT, probably because the
station had just shelled out good coin for huge packages of MGM and RKO feature films.
Once again, WCPO came to the rescue.
Within a year, however, the dust settled and WCPO stopped picking up non-ABC shows. Paar
went to WLWT where it belonged,while Edge of Night ended up being seen on a one-week
kinescope delay in WKRC's AM schedule (again right after the kids' show which replaced Romper
Room when THAT series moved to WCPO).
ABC's relationship with WCPO had always been stormy. The station threatened to either go
completely DuMont or become an independent in the early 1950s unless ABC agreed to
networkcast a locally-produced musical series in which the station owner's girlfriend lip-synched
popular songs. That show was titled "This is Music", and I see that WCPO was still carrying it as
late as 1958.
The two Dayton stations seemed to cherry-pick whatever network stuff they wanted. Though
owned by Crosley, which also ran NBC affils WLW-C and WLW-T, Dayton's WLW-D carried as
many ABC as NBC shows, thus CBS affiliate WHIO picked up a lot of stray NBC stuff (such as "The
Thin Man" in 1958).

A couple of years ago I was flying from Cincinnati to
Greensboro, and just after we took off I saw the skyline
of downtown Cincinnati. Of course it has changed since
the days of "Edge Of Night," but I recognized some of the
buildings from the show's opening sequence. In the later
years on ABC (early '80s) the Los Angeles skyline was used.

They used the original "Edge of Night" skyline in the "Amos N Andy" TV series from the early 50s.

No, that skyline was supposed to represent New York City. Evidently this illustration had been in
the Hal Roach studio warehouse for a long time; if you look closely in the 1935 Thelma Todd-
Patsy Kelly comedy TOP FLAT, you can see the same skyline outside of a penthouse window.

Re: Retro: St. Louis Tues, Sept 15, 1981
from TV Guide-St. Louis Edition
KSDK 5-NBC
If I believe things correctly, Jay Randolph, Jack Buck, and Mike Shannon did the Cardinals games
for KSDK and the whole TV network that covered parts of about six states or so. I'm not sure
whether or not the audio was simulcasted on KMOX for its broadcast (and that of the radio
network), or whether Randolph did the play-by-play, with Buck and Shannon coming into the TV
booth while on break from the radio. If you know anything about that, Bluenoser, we baseball
nuts outside the Missouri Valley would sure like to find out. Randolph, BTW, is doing KSDK
telecasts of the Cards once again, this time on Sunday afternoons only.
I have seen, on other skeds posted here, regional game carriage that begins in the midst of the
first game of a doubleheader. That is something that no networks have done, to my knowledge. I
wonder how jarring that would have felt to fans watching, knowing that they may well have
missed out on a grand slam hit in the fourth or a triple play in the sixth. I imagine the
announcers had a rather awkward job to start the broadcast, with "good evening, fans, glad you
could join us. We've already been going here for seven innings, and the Cardinals have so far
taken the Expos to the cleaners, with five straight base hits driving in three runs to put them on
top 4-1. But the Expos have a top-notch bullpen, and the reliever on the mound now has a 2.25
ERA and can put batters out quick." Or, alternatively, if garbage time had already arrived with a
seven-run lead or more, that certainly didn't help keep fans glued for the start of the second
game.
Of course, KSDK had to get the news on in the early evening, but one wonders why it and other
regional team networks back then even bothered with carrying the afternoon game of a
doubleheader in the first place. Perhaps KSDK feared that "Happy Days" on KTVI would deter
some fans, so 6:30 was likely a preemptory move. Still, it didn't make much sense to many
baseball enthusiasts, I'm sure.
All this is quite antiquated in this day of ESPN and the cable team networks, but it was certainly
irritating back then, when those games and NBC's "Game of the Week" were all that fans had.

I would presume that, like the other CBS O&O's as constituted in this period, KMOX used The

What CBS shows appear to have preempted by KMOX that night? Was "The Future: What's
Next?" a CBS or syndicated show?
It appears the Jean Shepherd and "Harry and Thelma" programs wiped out that night's regular
CBS offerings in St. Louis.
No clue, the St. Louis edition only listed that city's stations, and that's the only edition I have
from that particular week. The Future: What's Next? was a network show, by the sounds of it...

Likewise with KMOX, what NBC programs were completely bumped by KSDK for Cardinal
baseball that night? Do you know if other Cardinal TV affiliates also carried those games that
evening (in markets like Paducah, Springfield/Decatur/Champaign, Quincy, etc.).
Do you also have TV Guide editions and listings that served markets surrounding St. Louis for
that night (e.g. Eastern Illinois, Western Illinois, Missouri, Evansville/Paducah) in order to
compare these St. Louis listings to those of the other surrounding markets (e.g. Paducah,
Springfield/Decatur/Champaign, Quincy/Hannibal, Columbia/Jeff City)
No other ones from that week other than that one, unfortunately.

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati Sunday, September 8, 1968
bp, at this point, WBLG, now WTVQ, was about three months old. We see here that it had a
pretty minimalist schedule on Sundays to start out with, with an hour of apparently local religion
at the beginning of the broadcast day. Actually, 8:30 was rather early for a sign-on on Sundays
given the station's newness; even established stations elsewhere often passed on turning on the
transmitter until Noon or even later. We must remember that religious bodies had a great deal
more clout on station management than today, and I suspect Roy White, owner of WBLG, made
his peace with central Kentucky church leaders, getting their implicit blessing, and, in return,
eschewing paid (and especially out-of-town) televangelist broadcasts for some years.
Other than that, stock film, movies, and ABC made up the rest of the sked. Was this mainly the
case for the rest of the week for WBLG, or did some syndie shows pop up on weekdays? I
suspect this station went into business too late to ever give serious consideration to a kiddie
show, something WLEX and WKYT probably already had had for years and were trying to get rid
of. I imagine it was an uphill battle for WBLG/WTVQ throughout the 1970s, given its ABC
affiliation (which did not become an asset until the station was almost 10 years old) and its high
channel number, the latter of which was fixed by new owners in 1980, moving from 62 to 36.
BTW, that channel allocation HAD to be a technical albatross hanging on the station's neck, with
reception problems and ultra-high power bills galore. What was the FCC thinking when it
assigned 62 to Lexington? Admittedly, the terrain of the Bluegrass is relatively flat when
compared to eastern Kentucky, for example, but 62? What happened in many households was,
after the novelty wore off in 1969 or so, that people, not willing to rotate the dial so much from
the next closest UHF station, WKYT on 27, to 62, just simply ignored the station, creating a
severe identity problem (because in the western part of the Bluegrass, one could tune to WLKY
on 32, and in the northern part, WKRC on 12, on VHF). Before remote controls, viewers always
took the path of least resistance.
If you think that sounds far-fetched, think of the large number of UHFs that traded in high
frequencies for lower ones in the 1960s; WFIE and WEHT in Evansville, Ind., WNOK/WLTX in
Columbia, S.C., and WICD in Champaign, Ill. are prime examples of upgrades that were done to
resolve signal issues. In my home market, Huntsville-Decatur, channel 48, now WAFF, an NBC
affil, was a distant third for years behind CBS outlet WHNT on 19 and ABC affil WAAY on 31, until
cable evened the playing field. In fact, the 48 allocation was a move UP the dial from 23,
mandated back in 1968 when Huntsville got a translator of Alabama ETV on 25 in 1965; the Feds
wouldn't allow what was then WMSL-TV to move studios from Decatur to Huntsville without
moving its frequency. (Incidentally, Lexington and Huntsville-Decatur were, until the DTV
transition very recently, the only two all-UHF markets in the South.)
Do any Kentuckians remember much about the early WBLG/WTVQ? Did anybody much watch it
when it was on 62?

WBLG/WTVQ did carry "Romper Room" in 1968, as well
as Ed Allen's syndicated exercise show, Merv Griffin, "Perry
Mason," and was the only one of the three ABC affiliates in
the Kentucky edition to carry ABC News at the time.
This particular week (Sept. 7-13, 1968) was the week the
station went on the air. On Sept. 7 it had an eight-hour
(9 AM-5 PM) opening ceremony; special guests were Ed
Allen and "It Takes A Thief"'s Malachi Throne.
Although I love Kentucky, I'm not from there, and what
exposure I've had to television there has been to the Louisville
channels. So I don't have any memories of the station, except
for when it changed to Channel 36 and was off the air for a time
in 1980.
Most interesting information, though.

It's interesting that neither Channel 5 or Channel 18 cleared the AFL football game, or that
neither Channel 12 or 62 picked it up. Was it because the Reds were still the dominant sports
team in Cincinnati and Lexington, or did the AFL employ a TV blackout similar to what the NFL
used?

Interesting question since the Bengals started playing in '68.
Obviously, 5 and 18 were locked into the Reds game; 12 and
62 may have committed to the ABC documentary at 4 and
were unable to carry NBC's game. And it could be that the
blackout was in effect if the Bengals were at home and it
wasn't a sellout. Perhaps someone else knows about that
last possibility; else, there's no good answer to that one.

Another case of Wikipedia being an unreliable source of info. My statement of WBLG being three
months old comes from the date of June 2 listed there, and probably in the Broadcasting
Yearbook also. I intend to correct the Wikipedia entry. Thanks, bp.

As mentioned before, when I was doing TDITVH, start dates for TV stations will vary per the
source. In many cases, when there is conflicting info, both dates are valid -- one when they first
fired up the xmtr for testing, and a later date when they formally began a regular program
schedule. Some stations don't fire things up until days (or even hours) before their debut, others
test for weeks or months before "officially" signing on. I wouldn't reflexively blame Wikipedia
here, because other sources will often show varying dates as well, and as I said it depends on
your definition of exactly when a station "began operating." Even official "in-house" station
histories will sometimes cite the date of first (test) transmission, others the first regular
programming day. (The latter, though, probably more common.)

Channel 62 was always a challenge even within New Circle. You also have to remember UHF
tuners had shortcomings until the late 70's.
WTVQ moved to Channel 36 in June 1980. The old tower was disassembled and new tower
erected. Weather delayed the launch a few days. Cable had just debuted that year so Lexington
was without ABC for several days.
Channel 62 was reallocated for Lexington. There was a long battle between two companies, one
specializing in family entertainment, the other specialized in wall to wall preachers. The family
company won with an agreement to lease the preacher company a few hours a week.
WLKT signed in in 1988 (I believe) and the problems were immediate. The STL antenna was too
short and had to be extended. The picture and audio quality was inferior. Also, WDKY had signed
on a couple of years earlier so WLKT trailed in revenue potential and programming and was an
early Fox affiliate. If that weren't enough, the preachers sued for breach of contract. WLKT
struggled for maybe a year and suddenly signed off when the money ran out.
The signal is home to a LP signal.
Underdog moved to NBC-where it originally ran from '64-'66 the next week.

The Bengals played their debut game in the AFL 2 days before this, on Friday Night September
6th, losing in San Diego to the Chargers 29-13. Consequently, a local blackout shouldn't be an
issue here. The Reds game took place over an out of town AFL telecast. I'm sure NBC & the AFL
wasn't too happy...

Cincinnati independent station WXIX, Channel 19, signed on in June of 1968. Evidently the
Louisville/Lexington edition wasn't listing its schedule yet--though they would be by early 1969.
Channel 62 was always a challenge even within New Circle. You also have to remember UHF
tuners had shortcomings until the late 70's.
Were folks within New Circle in Lexington able to pick up the ABC affilates from Cincinnati or
Louisville clearly by indoor rabbit ears or outdoor rooftop antennas?
Prior to cable, about half the homes on a city block had the ability to receive Louisville &
Cincinnati. MATV systems throughout Lexington, many on very tall guyed towers, offered
Louisville and Cincinnati along with the local stations.
The low band VHF didn't exist with rabbit ears, unless of course you lay the ears down. Even then
Channel 3 and 5 were a lost cause. When WAVE moved to the Oldham County tower Channel 3's
signal in Lexington improved dramatically. Channel 9 and 12 were viewable with lots of noise.
Until WAVE's move, Channel 11 was the easiest of the VHF's to receive.
There was a boom in the late 70's of an antenna package. This included a fifty or so feet of tower
along with a high gain log periodic VHF antenna, a long boom UHF yagi with reflector elements
and a rotor. The signal was amplified and split to your house hold TV's. You could receive 3, 11,
32, and 41 from Louisville were viewable with a little noise. 15 & 68 were noisy but viewable.
5,9,12, and 48 from Cincinnati were viewable with a little noise. 19 didn't exist because of
Channel 18, WLEX transmitter site was on the north side of town so WXIX was only available
during a skip. Channel 2 & 7 from Dayton were viewable along with the occasional appearance
of Huntington, Knoxville, and other cities through skips.
When cable arrived in the early 80's, the towers slowly came down. A few survived in Lexington's
older neighborhoods.

I thought Gracie Allen died of a heart attack three years earlier? Or was this a very different
person?
"The Gracie Allen Murder Case" was released in 1939, and she starred in it...other than that,
don't know a lot about the film...
Retro: WYVN-WUSQ-TV channel 60 Martinsburg, WV/Winchester, VA 12/93
Yesterday while I was cleaning out my basement, I found this old memo from my old radio
station WUSQ-FM in Winchester, Virginia dated July 12, 1993 in regards to WUSQ/Benchmark
Communications' plans on buying nearby Martinsburg, West Virginia's WYVN-TV. Had WUSQ
bought WYVN..according to the memo from then GM David P. Ridgeway the station would
eventually be moved to Winchester,VA while the transmitter would remain in
Martinsburg,WV..here was the planned line-up to be in effect no later than December
1993....had everything went as planned this would had been the CBS afflilate for the
Winchester,VA-Hagerstown, MD region..
WUSQ-TV channel 60 ( CBS )..planned weekday lineup
6:30 WUSQ Eyewitness News daybreak

Needless to say the sale between WYVN and Benchmark/WUSQ fell through and WYVN would
soon be dark but WYVN would find a new owner with Green River Broadcasting who would re-
launched WYVN later in 1993 as an independent but that didn't last either.

1. I think you mean it was WorldVision that distributed Jetsons. I don't think DFS existed back in
1979...
2. Wow, Channel 28 really tore into the Saturday cartoons with Sunday religious programs! (Did
they run the pre-empted shows on Sunday morning, instead?) That station was not all there
back then, too! Who knew?

Right -- NBC revived the original show in mid-season '79. The following year would see the
release of "Chipmunk Punk," the first Alvin album produced by Ross Bagdasarian Jr. (his father,
who created the Chipmunks, had died in 1972). The success of the reruns of the original show
and this new album led to the NBC TV special A Chipmunk Christmas in 1981 (the first new
appearance of the singing rodents on film since the original The Alvin Show in 1961-62) and the
new series Alvin and the Chipmunks in 1983.
BTW, A Chipmunk Christmas was produced by, of all people, Chuck Jones. Given his oft-stated
disdain for latter-day limited animation and lame TV cartoons, he must have been pretty hard up
for cash at the time to take this gig.... :

Or it could have been Jones' revenge for Format Films (which did the animation for the original
The Alvin Show) having ruined Jones' Road Runner series (as director Rudy Larriva did in eleven
RR entries between 1965 and 1966 on a subcontracting basis for DePatie-Freleng which
produced Warners' cartoons from 1964 to '67). Who knows?

Wasn't channel 28 still WRDU-TV in 1979? I know that for some years 28 carried two hours of
"religious" programs every weekday afternoon from 4 to 6PM---90 minutes of PTL and 30
minutes of Jim and Tammy Faye's children's show, which I think were deep repeats even then. Of
course, you have to realize WRDU was hardly recieveable in Raleigh before Durham Life built the
new Apex tower--most people in Raleigh were still watching WITN for NBC (and WECT in
Fayetteville--I don't think WRDU/28 was even on cable there until the 80s). I don't think the
original owners/founders of WRDU ever had the capital to make 28 a contender. Finally, in the
80s WPTF/Durham Life pumped a pile of cash into the station, but old viewing habits were hard
to break.

new series Alvin and the Chipmunks in 1983.
As I can remember looking back what really started the second wave of Alvin & The Chimpmunks
was some radio jock who "by accident" had played the 45 of then-big Blondie tune "Heart of
Glass" at 78. Rather than correct the mistake right then and there he played the entire song and
then went on the air and said "....that was the latest from Alvin & The Chimpmunks". The
audience of that station went WILD and soon they were playing other 45s at 78 on purpose such
as Sniff N' The Tears "Driver's Seat, The Knacks "My Shrona", Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm
Sexy", even the Rolling Stones "Miss You" and passing them as as "new" Alvin & The
Chimpmunks
I wish I could remember which radio station where this had taken place but I recall reading in TV
Guide at the time and as a result of this, a number of other
radio stations around the country had jumped on the bandwagon as well.
Of course it wasn't long before both Ross Bagdasarian Jr and NBC got wind of all of this and of
course we all know how well NBC was doing in the late 70s and
I can imagine Ross had needed the money as well at the time too..BOOM !!!!...Alvin and The
Cimpmunks are re-born !!

All I know about WGHP's "Jetsons" telecast
is that it wasn't NBC's. But they also had
"Tennessee Tuxedo," which I don't recall
being syndicated by Worldvision. I was under
the impression that DFS handled a number of
kids' shows, including these, but am not sure
of the date it started.
As for Channel 28, the call-letter change was
made either in late '78 or early '79; TV Guide
shows it as WPTF. And no, the pre-empted
NBC cartoons were not aired on delay on Sunday.
Channel 28 was one station NBC was more than
happy to dump, because of reception and because
of its tendency to pre-empt a lot. WNCN/17 has
done better, but Raleigh/Durham will always be,
no matter how many stations are actually on the
air, a two-station market: WRAL and WTVD.

Very similar to Richmond, VA..them being a two station market more/less with WTVR and WWBT
even though WRIC has tried hard over the years to correct that.
Wasn't there a time way back when when CBS had wanted to get their hands on WRAL? For
some reason I can remember an article in I think Broadcasting & Cable back in the days when the
networks were still into buying stations, how they really wanted to get some O&Os in the
Carolinas and Hampton Roads. Of course NBC had WNCN, ABC still owns WTVD and CBS I am
pretty sure still has WGNT in Hampton Roads. Wasn't FOX at one point interested in Charlotte for
an O&O? I do remember the big rumor back in the early 90s where NBC really wanted to get
their hands on Norfolk's WAVY-TV 10 but that never happened. Nor did ABC with WVEC either
even though shortly after the death of their ( WVEC ) anchor Terry Zahn some years back the
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot had reported that Belo in the late 90s "came close" to selling WVEC to
ABC but until I saw that article, I had no idea that ABC was even interested in WVEC as far as
being an O&O is concerned.

ABC still has WTVD and CBS, WGNT (although it
carries the CW; WTKR is still the CBS affiliate in
Hampton Roads). I had never heard that about
ABC wanting WVEC, but at one time I, too, seem
to recall CBS talking about buying WRAL and Fox
looking for an o&o in Charlotte (not necessarily its
affiliate, WCCB). I've heard or read comments that
say that if CBS wants an o&o in the Carolinas it should
go to WBTV in Charlotte, since at one time WBT radio
was owned by CBS, which sold it and WJSV (which became
WTOP) Washington, DC, in order to buy KMOX St. Louis.
For CBS to have WBTV as an o&o, the thinking went,
would bring them full circle in Charlotte. But Raycom owns
WBTV, Capital Broadcasting still owns WRAL, and CBS owns

at least two CW affiliates in the South (the other that I
know of is in Atlanta) and only one that carries CBS: WFOR
Miami. And I think it's going to stay that way. NBC has gotten
out of the South altogether by selling off WNCN as well as its
Miami and Birmingham o&os (no, I consider Dallas/Ft. Worth to
be the Southwest, not the South, so I'm not including KXAS here);
ABC has never expanded beyond WTVD; Fox has only WAGA and
WTVT left in the Southeast. I think all the networks would like to
get out of the South, maybe out of anywhere except New York.
Which I hate to see because I'd love to see ABC buy WFTV Orlando
simply because the Disney-owned network, it would seem, would
want an o&o in the city of Disney World. But that's not a good business
reason so I'm not holding my breath.

1979...
DFS was in business as early as 1966 (maybe earlier or later). Whatever, DFS always had right to
the General Mills/Kenner Toys cartoons (think Bullwinkle, Underdog and their menagerie). DFS
had the rights to The Flintstones from 66 (no later than 75) to about 92; the original Jonny Quest
from 72 to 85; and The Jetsons from 67-69 AND 76-84. Worldvision grabbed The Jetsons in 84 in
anticipation of its 85 syndi release with new episodes; same thing happened to JQ in 85 (for new
86 toons).
BTW, it was around this time period that WBAL and WJZ in Baltimore both ran the classic JQ at
the same time on Sunday mornings. WBAL had the NBC version while WJZ (then ABC) had the
DFS one. Both were edited - WBAL for content, WJZ for time.

I thought Screen Gems / Columbia Pictures TV syndicated Flintstones (and perhaps other HB
shows for SG) up until the late-1970s or early-1980s? When I saw The Flintstones in the early-
1980s, the episodes always ended with a Screen Gems credit or logo, with no reference to DFS.

I think you're right. I also think DFS acquired Bewitched
sometime in the '80s, although I always remember the

Screen Gems logo at the end. Somebody correct me
on this.

Looking at this thread again, I noticed something that triggered
a memory. WSOC is carrying the College Bowl championship at
7:30 and one of the competing schools is nearby Davidson College.
I remember that in 1969, Davidson appeared on the original GE College
Bowl and was a five-time undefeated champion. What I remember most,
however, is the captain of the team, Robert Bryan, because his mom taught
fifth grade at a school I attended in eastern North Carolina for parts of fifth
and sixth grades (1965-66); she was not my teacher, however. I remember
Robert Bryan would almost literally come out of his chair every time he got
an answer right. He was one of the most animated people I've ever seen on
a game show. Bryan has since passed on, but I can still see his excitement.

I never understood why WGRZ liked to carry "The Flintstones"
at noon; they did that as far back as the '70s. Did kids in
Buffalo go home for lunch, or what?
I would think they did -- many popular kiddie shows, such as WGN's Bozo and WTCN's Lunch
with Casey also had noontime airings, as kids went home for lunch. When schools started to ban
departures from campus for lunch, the programs either moved to mornings or afternoons, or left
the air.

Christmas Day 1973. Because of the gas shortage I cut Christmas vacation
short that year and returned to UGA on New Year's Eve; Channel 11 had already
adopted the new call letters.

I would love to see a schedule for the fall of 1981, Fall of 1982, Spring of 1983, and Fall of 1984
for both Atlanta and Chattanooga including WRIP/WDSI 61. As I said before TV 61 was one of the
most unusual stations. It seemed to have a weak lineup at this point but seemed to have a
promising future. From what I see from 1978 to 1981, that station actually got worse during
those years. My oldest TV Guide covering that area was in the Summer of 84 and by then WDSI
was a decent station. Would apreciate more transitional retro schedules from this period.
Thanks

After checking out these listings I decided to check out the Wikipedia page on the history of
Atlanta's ( and Ted Turner's ) WTCG-TV which later of course would become WTBS/WPCH..found
something interesting.
In 1970 when WTCG was losing money and Ted Turner wasn't able to make a payment on the
station's new color equipment..Turner held on on-air telethon to raise money for WTCG's bills. I
didn't think this practice would be allowed for a COMMERCIAL station.
Reason I bring this up when Martinsburg, West Virginia then FOX affiliate WYVN-TV channel 60
had filed bankruptcy and couldn't pay for their bills and make payroll for their staff, I can recall all
of the announcers from the Winchester ( Virginia ) and Hagerstown ( Maryland ) radio stations
and Martinsburg's WEPM-AM/WKMZ-FM were planning to take to the airwaves of WYVN-TV in
an effort to keep WYVN on the air by having a telethon to raise money for WYVN only to be told
that such a practice would be "illegal" by the FCC even though years later someone had told me
the "NO" actually came down from FOX. OK to air annoucements recruiting for ads but NOT an
all day telethon to raise cash.
Regardless..the telethon never happened and WYVN would within weeks go dark shortly after
that embarrising press conference between the owner of WYVN telling a reporter from
WEPM/WKMZ that WYVN was so broke they couldn't even afford to stock the Pepsi machine and
they only had a few bucks ( later it would out that "few bucks" was $50 !!) in the WYVN account
at Blue Ridge Bank...and this press conference was aired LIVE.

Yes, he did do this at WRET -- he went on-air and asked his viewers to loan money to keep the
station on the air. When WRET became profitable, he paid back most of the loans. This is all per
an article in "TV Guide" in the late seventies.
He subsequently sold WRET and used much of the proceeds from that sale to finance the launch
of CNN.

KIRO 7-CBS

Any idea why, of the Big Three affils, only KIRO had translators for outlying areas, and not KOMO
or KING? Perhaps TV Guide never got any info about 4 or 5 having them, you think?

Maybe KIRO was broadcasting at a lower power or elevation than the others? Many of these
translators, especially Renton, Mercer Island and Bellevue, are within close proximity of Seattle.

I grew up in Tacoma, and am pretty sure that channels 4 and 5 never had any translators in the
immediate Puget Sound area like 7 did. All three stations ran maximum power from towers of
similar height on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, so there was no reason why 7 should have had
worse reception.
As an aside, all three stations were carried on translators in outlying areas -- I remember seeing
very snowy signals on channels 8 (relaying channel 4 from Seattle), 10 (relaying channel 5), and
12 (relaying channel 7) out at Ocean Shores, near Aberdeen and Hoquaim.
On an unrelated note: the absence of any programs labelled as being in color on KTVW channel
13 was not an error -- channel 13 did not get the equipment to allow them to run color
programming until the fall of 1972. Until then, everything on the station was in black and white.

Only one hour of Today, assuming Telescope was a local news/yakfest.
KING has taken the "weird" afternoon part of the daytime NBC left coast
schedule and made it even "worse." At noon PT, NBC kept right on going
instead of the half-hour hole (1 ET/12 CT). I assume Wunda Wunda is a
local show, so it appears they delayed the 12-1 PT shows to 3-4.

The (local? syndicated?) show from 7-8 PM pushed The Monkees to Saturday
as you will note on the Saturday schedules in a separate thread.

Capt. Kangaroo 8:30-9 AM--only the second half of the show?
Isn't the :25 CBS News at 9 AM a delay from--IIRC--a double
run at either 7 or 7:05 and 7:30 or 7:35 AM? A five-hour or more
delay from the original live show on the east coast. The 9 AM
CBS daytime show (Candid Camera) delayed until 3:30 PM.
Two five-minute early-evening newsbreaks and ten minutes at
11 PM? That's it for their evening newscasts? Geez, who owned
KIRO then? I can't believe it was Bonneville.

ABC used the Eastern version of daytime on the West Coast
until around 1974, when KABC and KGO expanded their newscasts
and their afternoon movies moved from 4:30 to 3:30. For a time
there were some weird things, like "The Money Maze" (4 PM ET/
11 AM PT) and "The Big Showdown" (2:30 PM ET/11:30 AM PT);
I think within a couple or three years ABC was using the Central
time version of daytime.
I'm not sure, but I think NBC made the change to the straight Central
time version when "Days Of Our Lives" moved to noon CT.
"Captain Nice" and "Mr. Terrific", almost identical clones of each other, airing on the same
evening!
Which was how it was during their entire run. Why it was like that, I have no idea.

I seem to recall that prior to spring 1974, KABC's and KGO's afternoon movies started at 6:30.

Wow! This is a fascinating one for me, because I was just 7 years old living in Seattle at the time.
No real recollection of anything, other than watching cartoons and Sullivan with the family on
Sunday night. But, interesting that both KING and KOMO had no local news until 6:30, and KIRO
apparently had just 5-minute casts beginning at 5:25. Also interesting that 11 and 13 both had
prime time news during this period. My guess, pretty much "radio on tv" due to limited news
staffs. Things changed just five years later, with the locals going to 5:30, and even 5:00
eventually.
and their afternoon movies moved from 4:30 to 3:30.
I seem to recall that prior to spring 1974, KABC's and KGO's afternoon movies started at 6:30.
Could be, but I seem to recall that both stations expanded their local news
to 5-7 PM and moved ABC News to 7 PM in 1974. At any rate I do know that
by the end of the year ABC was feeding some of its daytime shows to the left
coast at odd times; for example, the two game shows I mentioned above.

Capt. Kangaroo 8:30-9 AM--only the second half of the show?
I am from Vancouver, BC, and this was before I moved to Vancouver, but J.P. Patches was THE
program for all children, young and old. Kangaroo, never made much of an impact in this area,
and was all but gone from the sched, when I moved to Vancouver in 1970. Notice that J.P. was on
twice a day. In 1970, the show was only on once a day, but expanded to 90 minutes. Wunda
Wunda was another kid show that was gone by the time I moved to Vancouver.

Did KIRO and/or KVOS pre-empt the captain wround that time? That show did not leave CBS
until the mid-1980s.

What was that?? Looks like some sort of syndicated special. This was still a couple months before
the Star Trek: Generations movie was released, and ST:TNG finished its run the May before.
Anyone have info??
Boy, that one's a mystery -- googling the phrase only brings up three hits, none of which use the
words as a title or refer to a TV show.
RETRO: Philadelphia/Scranton/New York - December 11, 1979
I actually lifted these from a blog that I found which is devoted to repostings of classic TV listings.
Unfortunately, there's only eight blog posts, and it appears to have not been updated since last
year. Nonetheless, the complete address is:
http://colton-wwwtvschedules.blogspot.com/
The source of the following listings is: http://colton-wwwtvschedules.blogspo...-new-york.html
(The actual source, according to the poster, is the Allentown Express. Being as it's not from a TV
Guide, I used a generalization in naming this thread.)

Re: RETRO: Philadelphia/Scranton/New York - December 11, 1979
A few notes on the New York station entries:
- Siegel's Final Days on WCBS was hosted by Stanley Siegel. It's likely the showing of the movie
She's Back on Broadway was under the Late Show banner.
- By this time, WNBC only had movies on weekends, thus the absence from this list. A far cry
from the years 1956 to 1974.
- From what I vaguely remember about WNEW's late night movies, the first one (Illegal) was
shown under the Movie Greats heading, and the second (The Other Love) as a Hollywood's
Finest.
- If based on the list of films shown on WABC's 4:30 Movie in 1979, what aired on the 11th was
The Masque of the Red Death, while The Oblong Box was shown on the 12th. Their other movie
shows were The Movie in the Morning (at 10 A.M.) and the Late Movie (at 2 A.M.).
- The daily WOR movie shows as of this period were Movie 9 (at 1 P.M.), The 4 O'Clock Movie,
Million Dollar Movie at 8 (preempted on this evening for NHL Hockey), and 9 All Night - Parts 1 &
2 (with Joe Franklin in-between the double feature).
- The Seekers (Part 2) was shown by WPIX in the time slot usually occupied by The Eight O'Clock
Movie. Their only other daily movie series at this point was The Channel 11 Film Festival. I think
it was a few months from this that 'PIX went 24/7.
- I could see that these listings didn't bother to mention WNYE 25, WNYC 31, WXTV 41 and
WNJU 47 listings (forget for a minute WWHT 68). Oh well, I guess you can't have everything . . .

Of course, considering that these listings came from an Allentown paper, maybe NYC's UHFs
were difficult to get in the region, as opposed to the VHFs.

Allentown PA was and still is in the Philadelphia DMA. The Allentown Paper and TV Guide
included Philadelphia market stations as the primary broadcast stations. The TV Guide there,
however, included Scranton/Wilkes Barre, Philadelphia major players,
Harrisburg/York/Landcaster, and the VHF New York stations. The cable system there back in the
70's and 80's included Philadelphia stations, the two local Allentown stations, some Scranton
stations, and the New York independents full time in most cases. The Network New York stations
were included early on but gone by the mid 80's.
Over the air back then the VHF stations from Philadelphia and the local Lehigh Valley stations
came in easily while the UHF stations from Philadelphia came in with a UHF Roof antenna. The
Scranton stations (all UHF} also came in with a roof UHF antenna, while New York stations hardly
came in at all. Also WGAL 8 in Landcaster came in at certain points.
The New York UHF stations were considered minority formats and first of all could not get a
signal into Allentown. ALso there were plenty of other stations to carry and so the New York UHF
stations were not necessary much less could they even come in.
In fact, even in Sussex and Warren COunties in NJ, Channels 41, 47, 31, 25, 21, 68, etc were not
carried at all on any of teh cable systems in those areas. They only could come in with a good
UHF antenna and that was questionable. In fact most people in the New York market were
unaware that the UHF New York stations even existed unless they wanted the two hour version
of PTL or the 90 minute version of 700 CLub, extra PBS shows, Spanish shows, or WHT
Subscription TV. Many in North Jersey even wondered why their TV had a knob with channels
numbered 14 to 83 when the highest channel they knew of was Channel 13.

WOR 9-Ind New York
11:30 Benny Hill
The "Jackie Gleason" mentioned was a half-hour compilation edit of episodes from his 1962-66
Jackie Gleason's American Scene Magazine. In a way, the format of Gleason's show had some
similarities to Benny Hill's: at one point (1963-64), quick blackout sketches of Gleason's show
were taped in advance of "audience night" at CBS Studio 50 in New York (later the Ed Sullivan
Theatre; this before The Great One away-he-went to Miami Beach); both shows had knockabout
comedy with the host portraying different characters every night, accompanied by bevies of
beautiful girls of both dancing and supporting "acting" roles; and the hosts were somewhat
heavy. Other than that, the similarities end . . .

The big difference being off-camera: Gleason lived "the high life" in a very public way, while Hill
was very much a recluse and lived frugally in spite of the millions he made from his show. Mark
Lewishon's bio recounts how Hill often accumulated large sums in the form of paychecks and
residual payments that ended up lying in a drawer, uncashed, because Benny just never
bothered to put them in the bank. He says when Hill's accountant would try to talk numbers
with him, his eyes would just glaze over. Benny was perfectly content to eat canned soup and
frozen fish sticks, and often owned just two shirts ("Well, now, I can only wear one at a time,
can't I?"), one getting hand-washed while he wore the other, while Gleason dined on lobster and
steak and wore thousand-dollar suits. Two very funny men, very similar TV shows, but two men
different as night and day.

And that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Or is that the proverbial tip of the iceberg?
Whatever. Indeed, I had written an essay of the similarities and differences between the two
men. (Another set of differences: Gleason loved performing live, just hated performing the same
material over and over again night after night; whereas Hill had a fear of performing before live
audiences that got worse as he got older. Gleason moved his show to Florida so he could play
golf year-round while Hill moved his home to walking distance from his TV studio. I have both
that Lewisohn bio of Hill and William Henry's Gleason book.) This essay can be found at:
http://runstop.de/about.html#greatones
In sum, if they ever met, I don't think one would have understood the other at all.

I don't think they would have understood each other as people, but both would have
appreciated the others' work. I doubt Gleason ever heard of Hill, but it's a safe bet Benny knew
Jackie's work, being as U.S. shows were frequently imported to the U.K., and Hill, like all good
comics, "borrowed" (*ahem*) frequently from U.S. comedians (as Buddy Hackett would have
confirmed, heh...those who've read the book will understand) as well as European acts seen on
his frequent trips to France.
Interesting that with all the U.S. TV shows and genres that Benny parodied, I don't think he ever
lampooned The Honeymooners, which surely had some exposure on the British telly. I'm trying
to imagine Benny Hill doing his take on Ralph Kramden...
Nice essay, BTW!!

And of course, I'd've loved to see Hill parody Gleason's monologue bits with him drinking his
"coffee" - only with the "coffee" in such a takeoff being glue or something (as Mr. Hill did from
time to time in his "blooper" sketches).
The funny thing was that prior to Mr. Hill revamping his comedy/variety series in 1964 (when he
was still with the BBC), BBC2 ran an episode of Gleason's American Scene Magazine that took a
"Bronze Rose" in that year's Golden Rose of Montreux festival. Maybe Benny was among those
who'd viewed it . . .

Actually I think channel 9 was WDVM at the time of these listings not WUSA.
WDVM was known for years to not carry The Price is Right even through the early to mid 80s
even when the show was listed in TV Guide. Reason? WDVM at the time felt that The Price is
Right and the other CBS game shows like "Press Your Luck" and "Child's Play" was garbage. The
GM of WDVM at the time actually went on the air ( on Morning Break ) and admitted to that. He
also made the same claim in regards to the CBS Saturday morning line-up too.
Of course when WDVM was sold to Gannett in 1985 that GM was shown the door and as a result
few CBS shows was pre-empted on Washington's channel 9.

You'd be correct on that; indeed, it was a few months before this that the station first adopted
the WDVM calls, after nearly three decades of being known as WTOP-TV. (A change due to a
license swap between the Evening News Association and Post-Newsweek Stations, Inc., which
also led to Detroit's WWJ-TV, Channel 4, changing calls to WDIV.)

As a casual game show fan, I am both vindicated and pissed-off by this revelation. I have
assumed for years that the GMs of network affiliates were (and are) quite passionately biased
against game shows; they're literally Fred Silverman clones. I wonder if there were others like his
ilk at other stations....
KHOU in Houston pre-empted TPIR to show Hour Magazine for a few years in the late 70s-early
80s.

I remember the 1:00 movie everyday on WBFF 45. I worked the midnight shift and had classes in
late afternoon and early evening. Slept from about 8 am until a little before 1:00 when I would
get up, have coffee, turn on the movie. You knew the movie was about to come on when you
heard "Syncopated Clock" and saw the clock on the TV screen. It must have helped my GPA,
because I did reasonably well studying by the movie. LOL.
Of course, in the previous two years we got run out of the college community center for
watching Mary Hartman Mary Hartman, which came on at 12:25 p.m.

Re: Retro: Montreal/Ottawa/St. Lawrence Valley Fri, Sept 24, 1971
CFTM 10-TVA Montreal (TVG listed it as an indie...)
TVA was formally established in 1971 -- when exactly in 1971, I don't know.

According to http://www.broadcasting-history.ca/index3.php , TVA launched on Sept 12th when

CFTM, CFCM Quebec City and CJPM Chicoutimi began sharing selected programming; CHLT
would switch from SRC to TVA in 1973 when CKSH-TV launched.
History of stations joining TVA:
1971: CFTM/CFCM/CJPM
1973: CHLT
1974: CFVO Hull (station went bankrupt in 1977 with CBOFT, the Ottawa SRC station, picking up
TVA on a secondary basis until CHOT launched the following year)
1978: CFER Rimouski/CFEM Rouyn-Noranda/CIMT Riviere-du-Loup
1983: CHAU Carleton (the station, previously a SRC affiliate, aired secondary TVA for several
years before the changeover)
1976: CHEM Trois-Rivieres

A quick correction on that- CHLT began carrying secondary TVA on that date, switching to full
TVA service in September 1974.

Although I'm putting it on the wrong board, "Mantrap"
was another Canadian show seen in U.S. syndication;

a remake of the '50s series "Leave It To The Girls," it put
one man against a panel of three women (Margot Kidder was
a frequent panelist) and dared him to endure their attacks.
Alan Hamel (Mr. Suzanne Somers) was host, and I think Dick
Clark produced it. Also, "All About Faces" was produced in
Canada and ran in the U.S. for about a year; the only station
I remember carrying it was WALB Albany, GA.
And how did the ABC affiliates in Syracuse and Poland Spring
get the network news at 5:30? I thought ABC discontinued that
feed in 1968 and was doing its first feed at 6 by 1971.

Hard to believe that in 1971 WPTZ had no live color origination...at least, according to the
listings. Both of their presumably local newscasts are in monochrome. By 1971, just about
everyone had some kind of studio color camera...evidently WPTZ was late to that party. What's
also interesting is that their listing for the Tonight Show isn't in color, either.

Not hard to believe at all. There's old thread on these boards about when stations went to local
color. Some small-city stations lagged behind. WICZ in Binghamton didn't have color studio
cameras until the mid seventies, sometime, just as an example. WENY/Elmira went on the air in
1969 with black-and-white cameras.

CFTM 10-TVA Montreal (TVG listed it as an indie...and listed SRC affiliates as CBC ;D)
TV listings from that era tended to be more likely to refer to CBC even for French stations. That
said, some predomently French CBC affiliates did air a limited amount of English programming at
one time. In 1972 CHLT was airing an English show weekdays at 5 PM which was also carried on
CKMI in Quebec City (both stations being co-owned at the time). Some French stations also aired
CBC's National News. These practices were discontinued once English transmitters were added in
the cities served by these stations, generally during the 70s.
Also TVA as a formal network was established in 1971, but I believe CJPM was sharing
programming with CFTM as early as 1963 as CJPM did not have any source for programming
other than a few local shows.

I've never understood why WCBS even bothered with their s/off and s/on routines in that era
when the break in programming was so brief. Surely they could have found something to fill half
an hour other than a test pattern: an army film, My Little Margie, anything. I doubt there was a
critical engineering need to run a TP every night, and any legalese about copyright, no
retransmission, some shows pre-recorded, etc., could have been fitted into a break between
programs. It just seems so silly to me.

Actually, it was less than that; apparently, WCBS in those days signed-on weekdays at 6:15 A.M.
(the opening "Give Us This Day" and the sign-on newscast were not counted in TV Guide's
listings). So the down time was between 15 and 20 minutes on this occasion. But it did seem the
case that they were following protocol.

My guess: Engineering demanded, and got, a window for whatever tweaks needed to occur,
whether or not they used it. It was always scheduled, and they could take advantage of it on any
given day.
Can that be corroborated?

Makes sense...I'm guessing a 60s-70s era transmitter required more periodic "tweaking" than
more modern units -- even when many stations started going 24/7 later on, quite a few still
signed off for at least a couple of hours once a week (usually early Sunday or Monday a.m.) for
routine maintenance. I'm just not sure how much "tweaking" could actually be accomplished in
that brief 15-30 minute daily window of opportunity on WCBS, though.

1:00 The Galloping Gourmet with Graham Kerr
I can remember when the Food Network was airing repeats of Kerr's show several years ago,
around 2004 I believe. As I can recall those repeats actually drew a large number of viewers
enough so that I believe Food Network had offered him a job to do some new cooking shows for
them however Graham Kerr said "NO".
I also seem to remember back in the 80's about where Graham Kerr was considering oopening
up some restaurants and a line of frozen foods all bearing his name much like what Wolfgang
Puck did..again Kerr said "NO".
Even though the Kerr Wikipedia page mentions that for the last 10 years, Graham Kerr has been
seen doing radio & TV features for the National Cancer Institute's "5 A Day" program..I have
never seen those features.

Would this be retired NBC Sports announcer Jim Simpson?
His early TV sports career was in Washington, DC, so this may have
preceded his stint with NBC O&O WRC-TV.

Did Harrisonburg have cable in 1954? I didn't know
anyone outside a certain community in Pennsylvania

had cable that early.
The 9:00 and 9:30 shows on WTVR labeled "Theater"
are almost certainly "Fireside Theater" (later hosted by
Jane Wyman) at 9, and "Armstrong Circle Theater," which
moved to CBS in 1957, at 9:30. I don't know why the word
"Fireside" wasn't included, but newspapers didn't like to
mention sponsors' names, considering it free advertising.
BTW, WTVR was an NBC primary affiliate from 1948-55.
WXEX (now WRIC) signed on in 1955 and somehow managed
to get the NBC affiliation; in 1956 WRVA (now WWBT) signed
on as a CBS affiliate (WRVA was the CBS radio affiliate), and
WTVR was ABC until 1960. Because WRVA was one of CBS's
weakest affiliates, the two stations swapped affiliations, and
WTVR remains a CBS affiliate to this day. WXEX and WRVA
swapped in 1965, and they, too, have stayed with ABC and
NBC, respectively.
WSVA (WHSV) dropped CBS in 1968, switching its primary
affiliation from NBC to ABC. It carried some NBC programs
in the '70s, especially in timeslots where ABC was down,
but is exclusively ABC today. And WLVA (WSET) is the oldest
ABC affiliate south of Washington, followed by WLOS Asheville,
NC; coincidentally, both are on Channel 13.

Harrisonburg/Rockingham County, Virginia had cable TV as early as 1953 if not earlier ( I have no
idea as to when the exact start date was ). Imagine my surprise when I saw an ad in the Daily
News-Record for "Blue Ridge Cabel TV" ( yes..that was how it was in the ad )...the ad said that
Harrisonburg viewers could lose WTOP's signal on channel 4 due to "tower work". Another news
piece from December 1953 said that the "issues' with WLVA-TV on "channel 7" has been
"corrected". Hmmmmm cable TV had issues back then too..guess some things never changed.
I was checking out the Harrisonburg Daily News-Record from December 1967 & January 1968
about WSVA's switch to ABC. Oddly the paper didn't run any stories about it nor did WSVA-TV
even advertised it, as it was like "so what"..however...some 70 miles to the north in Winchester,
VA..the local Winchester Evening Star not only did the paper did a story about the switch but
WSVA even ran a full page ad promoting the fact that they are now ABC. Go figure !!

Cable television of at least a primitive nature dates as far back as 1948. By 1954, quite a few
communities around the country had what we would recognize as a typical early analog CATV
system.

What an interesting "sandwich" -- two unapologetic anti-communists, with a "Red" in the

middle. <LOL>
I wonder -- did Dulles actually have a regular TV commentary slot, or was this just a one-shot
program about him?

After doing some research through the pages of the Harrisonburg Daily News-Record...( GEE If I
ever see one more ad for live chickens and beef hearts !!! UGH )...anyway WSVA-TV channel 3
had made the switch to ABC full-time on Sunday, January 7, 1968. And they did run a full page ad
about the switch in Harrisonburg too..right next to an ad for the Harrisonburg Telephone
Company. Well its better than beef hearts LOL

What was on Cable 2?
I would love to know the design of that system. I'm guessing it was RG-59 coax with a bunch of
amplifiers.

Amazing that Harrisonburg had cable so soon. But as to the switch to ABC, I was getting the
Eastern Virginia edition of TV Guide, which included Harrisonburg, in early 1968. It was like it just
happened;
no ads leading up to the switch unlike in Atlanta when WSB started calling itself "2 the One" and
WXIA
promoed the "proud new tradition."

I too was amazed at how low-key the switch to full-time ABC was for WSVA compared to the
excitement in 1999 when WHSV was seriously considering dropping ABC in favor of FOX. How
serious? WHSV even paid to have their new "FOX 3 WHSV" logo done !! There were a large
number of people excited about that and the "rumor" that WHSV was going to start carrying
WVU sports ( a good chunk of their viewers are in West Virginia ). But in the end with digital TV
on the way, Gray Television/WHSV decided to have FOX appear on one of their subchannels
rather than totally breaking ties to ABC.
I could be wrong but outside of the Virginia PBS outlets like local WVPT, WHSV had got into DTV
subchannel rather early on with not only by offering FOX on its subchannel but also MY Network
TV as well as two ABC feeds, one for Harrisonburg/Rockingham County and the other for
Winchester/Frederick County.
?? Huh ?? What do you mean by "two ABC feeds" and how were they county-specific?
WHSV splits their ABC on two different subchannels. WHSV-DT 49.1 is ABC for Harrisonburg ( and
the central Shenandoah Valley ) while WHSV-DT 49.3 is ABC for Winchester ( and the northern
Shenandoah Valley ). Both channels show the same ABC line-up and most of the syndicated fare
as well BUT the difference between the two is that the commericals and newscasts are different.
Harrisonburg has their own news team while Winchester has theirs.
At first it sounds like a waste but this concept has worked out quite well for WHSV as they now
can make a lot of money selling ads for two very different and growing counties.

Interesting concept. I wonder if any other stations are using their subchannels this way?

Sounds a bit like WKYT Lexington/WYMT Hazard, KY.
Although they are separate stations with separate staffs,
both are CBS affiliates and they share some programming
(WYMT carries WKYT's 5 PM news) while differing in other
ways (WYMT carries Young And The Restless in pattern at
12:30, WKYT carries it on day-behind at 9 AM; WYMT does
not carry Sunday Morning or Face The Nation; WKYT carries
Oprah, Wheel Of Fortune, and Jeopardy!, while WYMT does
not). And in Hazard, WYMT is seen on digital 12-1, WKYT on 12-2.

The "Club" shows as referred to in the WWOR EMI listing above are likely from the "Home

Newspaperarchive.com; You do need an account to do it. Fyi, you have to pay in order to view it.
Just a little secret, go to your weblist and where it says "cached.pdf" or something like that, you
can view the listings for free. The listings don't give full titles, but I seem to know a lot of them.

I feel like an idiot asking this.....Could you expand more on that? (the cached.pdf).
When you click on a newspaper article, click it, then a disclaimer comes up saying that you have
to pay
Now I know a shortcut, go to your web address bar, and then type in the website's name, and
something similar to this should come up with the page:

Hope this helps!

7-8 Family Feud

Other than ABC's daytime FF, I did not see any other references for the syndicated Feud in the
rest of these listings. By fall '82, was syndie FF no longer cleared in the Terre Haute and
Champaign/Decatur/Springfield markets? (If that was the case, to me that's a shocker--because I
thought the nighttime Feud was still going strong in that final year before the nighttime "Wheel
of Fortune" debuted).
Also, the 9:30 AM reference to "Child's Place" on 18-25 is actually the CBS game show "Child's
Play" with Bill Cullen (which did not get cleared in Indy, Terre Haute or Champaign).
And in 1982 it appears that during DST (which of course Indiana did not observe at the time of
this listing) the Indiana network affiliates did not pick up the Mountain Time Zone network feeds
yet (to match the 8-11 prime time observed during EST in the Hoosier State). When did the time-
shifting of network programming in Indiana begin (I know by 1994 this was standard practice at
least in Indy).

It appears that you could add Terre Haute to the list of markets with CBS affiliates that have
bumped TPIR over the years (when was the overall time frame that the "Price" bumpings
occured on WTHI?).

"Child's Play" deserves at least a footnote in
daytime TV history; the show that replaced it
was "Press Your Luck."

shifting of network programming in Indiana begin (I know by 1994 this was standard practice at
least in Indy).
NBC's Mountain Time Zone feeds began circa 1985 or 1986, initially for prime time
and late-night, later expanding to the entire schedule. ABC and CBS did not offer
(and still don't, to my knowledge) a regular feed to the "time zone the networks
forgot"--they do so only in special instances.
I have some newspaper clippings from spring 1987 which indicate the three Indy
affils would shift to "late prime" with the start of DST (instead of "early prime" as
done in past summers). While the NBC affil had the luxury of using the Mountain
zone feed for this, the ABC/CBS stations each had to do a one-hour tape delay.
Another article infers that WTHR (NBC) had already been doing this for part or
all of the previous DST period (1986). It's unclear whether they started it in
April or with the fall season in September (through the end of October).

As I recall (and I have slept since then), WTHR began carrying the mountain time feed to match
up with an 8-11 EDT/CDT prime time in September of 1986, to start the new fall schedule.
Daytime stayed as it was. I don't remember if by the following summer the other affiliates had
gotten the equipment to do it or not. I'm pretty sure if so it was prime time/late night only for at
least the first year. Eventually the idea was the same schedule all year round, but WRTV, WXIN,
and WISH would have to purchase equipment to do the delay. Lafayette followed suit, and while
I was there we had three one inch machines which we rolled 45 minutes apart with around 5 to
10 minutes of overlap. We'd match the timing, match the colors and then the master control op
would make the switch. We also ran backups in the same sequence on 3/4 inch. We even hired
an extra person to take care of tape delay. What a mess!
WISH would do something a little interesting. They would sneak an extra minute of spots into
the net feed throughout the night.

Aha! That confirms what was I trying to "read" out of the newspaper article.
It was actually a quote from a viewer's letter, rather than from the Corkster
at WTHR, so it was a bit hazy as to the start date.

Lafayette followed suit, and while I was there we had three one inch machines which we rolled
45 minutes apart with around 5 to 10 minutes of overlap. We'd match the timing, match the
colors and then the master control op would make the switch. We also ran backups in the same
sequence on 3/4 inch.
When you said "three" one-inch machines (not four), I wondered about a
backup, then as I read on--3/4" cassettes. U-Matic? How often did you
have to use the backup and how (bad) did it look on air?
WISH would do something a little interesting. They would sneak an extra minute of spots into
the net feed throughout the night.
WISH was CBS, correct? Then it was probably on the up-and-up. CBS allowed
Mountain zone affils to add :30 (or maybe it was :60) to prime time breaks to
help compensate for the costs of tape delaying the network. One would assume
WISH also qualified as they were also doing in effect the same kind of delay.
With an extra :60 or :30, a station would begin prime at 6:59:00 or 6:59:30 and
add the spot(s) in a local station break, stopping delay playback for that amount
of time.

The 3/4 would get used occasionally (it was not U-Matic) and looked fine. In fact we recorded a
lot of our syndicated feeds on 3/4. We had five one inch machines in a row, using three for tape
delay and two for production. We would put a "spot reel" on one of the decks to play back spots
for the newscast (the insertion system we had was horrid so we pre-recorded the breaks for the
newscasts).
That's interesting about Mountain CBS affiliates being able to add an extra spot to cover tape
delay expenses. I'm assuming that was the same for WISH. We were also CBS at WLFI and that
did not seem to be an option for us. Of course, we got permission to carry the Chicago Bears
instead of the NFL "Southwestern feed", plus pre-empted a night or two of CBS prime every
week during basketball season to carry the Boilermakers, so that may have been the maximum
amount CBS intended to let us get away with.
Right the time I left we were going to everything being recorded and played on S/VHS.

Wink Martindale was host of "Can You Top This";
I believe Dick Gautier read the jokes sent in by
viewers that the panel had to "top" (get a bigger
laugh as measured by the audience's response on
a "laugh meter"...something like the "applause meter"
on "Queen For A Day"). The Winker was also hosting

"Words And Music," one of many, many shows to occupy
the 1:30 PM slot on NBC between the loss of "Let's Make
A Deal" in 1968 and the expansion of "Days Of Our Lives"
to an hour in 1975.
On the o&o thread, it's mentioned that Gautier was hosting
"It's Your Bet." When did Lyle Waggoner take over as host
of that show? (I remember the mom of one of my female
friends watching that show at 1 PM on WAGA, sandwiched
between her two favorite soaps, "Search For Tomorrow"
and "As The World Turns.")

Wink Martindale was host of "Can You Top This"; I believe Dick Gautier read the jokes sent in by
viewers that the panel had to "top" (get a bigger laugh as measured by the audience's response
on a "laugh meter"...something like the "applause meter" on "Queen For A Day"). The Winker
was also hosting "Words And Music," one of many, many shows to occupy the 1:30 PM slot on

to an hour in 1975.

Re Mr. Martindale: I saw his picture, now that you mention it, in an ad for Can You Top This? on
WPIX in that issue.
As for It's Your Bet, it appears this show had one host per season, on average. The first, in 1969,
was Hal March (prior to his death in January 1970), followed by Mr. Gautier, then Tom Kennedy
(in 1971) and, finally, Mr. Waggoner (in 1972).
Also, after Lee Nelson's run with WPIX ended in 1971, he went for a few years to Boston's
WNAC-TV (then sister to New York's WOR), where at one point he was paired with a certain
Charles "Chuck" Scarborough (who later went to a loooong run with WNBC) - and during which
time a theme music called "Move Closer to Your World," written by Al Ham, was used as that
station's news theme. After the news director of said station moved in 1972 to WPVI-TV in
Philadelphia, that's when this music became the theme for that station's Action News (ironically,
from 1977 to 1983, it was also the opening and closing theme of WPIX's Action News; one of the
anchors in that 1977-83 period at WPIX was Pat Harper, who left in 1985 for WNBC where she
was paired on the 6 o'clock News 4 New York with . . . Chuck Scarborough).

WOR-TV seems very promising back then with Gilligan's Island, Get Smart, Dick Van Dyke, Lucy
Show, and others. The three stations WNEW-TV, WOR-TV, and WPIX seem very similar in scope.
Not all that strong stations by today's standards, but no one station stood out as especially
dominant back in 1970. By 1975, though Channel 5 WNEW-TV came out as the clear leader of
independent stations. WPIX was somewhat behind, while WOR-TV sort of got out of the
competition and opted for alternative programming, not competing against 5 or 11 directly.
WOR-TV even refused to renew Beverly Hillbillies and noone else wanted it causing to to never
air locally in New York City again. Gilligan and Get Smart would fall off WOR-tv and be picked up
by WPIX by 1974 only to both fall off WPIX's schedule as well and move to WNEW-TV in 1978.
Still, imagine Channel 9 had it chose to compete agressively.

Yeah, imagine. But the fact is, that an August 1969 article in The New York Times mentioned that
in terms of ratings among the indies, WNEW-TV was clearly on top, while WPIX was second and
WOR was a distant third - apart from the Mets games in this season which saw them win the
World Championship, WOR's ratings were otherwise actually lower than they'd been five years
prior to that point. Between 1964 and 1970, WOR went through three different logos. By
contrast, WPIX and WNEW each had two different logos in the same period.
In terms of live studio camera picture quality, meanwhile, the edge went to WNEW - which since
1966 had had Norelco PC-70 color cameras. By contrast, both WPIX and WOR were using
General Electric PE-250's. As for filmed stuff, WPIX had a policy of (mostly) airing 35mm prints of
old TV shows and movies, as opposed to the other stations (even the network O&O's) that aired
TV reruns and old movies via lower-quality 16mm prints. Channel 11 was the station, after all,
that in that very year of 1970 filmed a West Coast fireplace in 35mm to use for their Yule Log,
after the original 16mm film shot at Gracie Mansion got too worn out to ever use again - and the
station was persona non grata at the Mayor's residence due to a mishap which led to a rug
catching fire. From what I could tell, WPIX as of 1970 had RCA TK-27 color film chain cameras,
while WOR utilized GE PE-24's (dating back to 1964); which of the film chains did WNEW have in
those days? From what I've seen so far, seems like it could be the RCA's . . .

12:00 Bozo the Clown
This would have been the syndicated "Bozo's Big Top" (originally seen on WOR, I believe), not
the Bill Britten show from the '60s.
6:00 Land of the Giants - "The Lost Ones" [original airdate 1/5/69]
If memory serves me, it had moved to either Saturday or Sunday nights the following year and
not for that long.
11:30 Channel 11 Film Festival - "D.O.A." (1949) - Edmond O'Brien, Pamela Britton
So this originally aired late night, moved to early afternoons and then moved back to late nights?
Interesting.
Now if I could only figure out which programs on Channel 13 were WNDT-only at this time...

Re: Retro: Michigan/Toledo/Cleveland Fri, Oct 1, 1954
"Dinner Platter" on WEWS was hosted by Canton, Ohio native Bob Dale, who started at Channel
5 in 1948 and stayed in Cleveland until 1956. A wartime ear injury led him, under a
doctor's suggestion, to move to the warmer climate of the West Coast to allow
the injury to heal properly. Dale ended up in San Diego, where he stayed over 40 years
and became a TV Icon..first at KFMB-8 then KNSD-39. I wonder if not for the injury, he
would have stayed in Cleveland much longer than he did.
Also on WEWS, "Uncle Jake" was Gene Carroll, who had been part of a Comedy act with Glenn
Rowell on NBC Radio in the 1930's. He started a Talent Show in 1948 on Channel 5 which
ran until 1974 Sundays at noon.
WXEL's "Rena and Bob" Ledyard were a married couple that hosted a "garage sale on TV" Rena
would scour Cleveland Neighborhoods for things to sell, which they would then show on TV..Its
possible they could have been on 15 minutes that day..
In light of the discussion about Jack LaLanne here recently, it should be noted that WEWS's Paige
Palmer, who was at the station from 1948-73, may well have had the first exercise program on
television, even before Jack LaLanne..

Re: Retro:Cleveland/Akron Thursday, October 28, 1965
Amazing that Ch. 8 did not carry As The World Turns at 1:30,
especially given that it was daytime's number-one show (think,
that era's Young And The Restless). But then again, a couple
of years before this WHAS Louisville ran ATWT at 10:30 AM,
Password at 11 AM, and filled the 1:15-2:30 time with movies.

Re: Retro:Cleveland/Akron Thursday, October 28, 1965

This by WJW (and earlier, WHAS) may well pre-date the "day behind" airings
of ATWT in the Mountain Time Zone.
It was noted in another thread that KRQE ABQ had recently ended--or will end--
the practice, in conjunction with timeslotting LMAD.
KUTV SLC was doing it even during its tenure as a CBS O&O, and still does.
Another current example is KTVQ Billings.
Apparently it's to allow a noon news hole (instead of at 11 AM) and not have
to delay the entire daytime schedule one hour "in pattern."

2 - CKCW-TV (CBC) Moncton, NB

CKCW was an independent CBC affiliate, later to become a CTV affiliate and absorbed into ATV in
1972. In 1964 CKCW was showing a limited amount of CTV programming in addition to CBC, and
by this point also had some satellite stations in Northern New Brunswick as part of the Lionel
Television System. I am not sure how much, if any separate programming those stations had.

Re: Retro: Maritimes, Fri. May 8, 1964
[quote=M.J. ]
From the Halifax Chronicle-Herald, once again my commentary in italics. Note that CBAFT (Radio-
Canada) Moncton was not listed.
2 - CKCW-TV (CBC) Moncton, NB
CKCW was an independent CBC affiliate, later to become a CTV affiliate and absorbed into ATV in
1972. In 1964 CKCW was showing a limited amount of CTV programming in addition to CBC, and
by this point also had some satellite stations in Northern New Brunswick as part of the Lionel
Television System. I am not sure how much, if any separate programming those stations had.
After CKCW switched to full CTV service (which also resulted in CHSJ and CKCW putting relays in
each other's cities), CKAM Upsalquitch Lake, CKCD Campbellton, and the 3 Quebec relays (Mont-
Blanc/Perce, Mont-Bechervaise/Gaspe, and Murdochville) ran a combined CBC/CTV sked (copies
of L'Evangeline, the then-French daily in Moncton, on Google News Archive has their listings)-
TVG also listed it separately under the CKCD calls when the Maritimes edition launched in 1976,
CKCD/CKAM/Quebec tx switched to full CTV service in fall 1976 after CHSJ established their own
transmitters "Up North".

Re: Retro: Pittsburgh ( Uniontown, PA ) Thursday, February 29, 1968
Are you sure Everybody's Talking was still on ABC at noon?
I seem to recall its last telecast on December 29, 1967, with
Bewitched reruns taking over the slot on New Year's Day '68.

mleach, did WIIC use channel 8 as a translator in some parts of southwestern Pennsylvania?
That's what it appears, but I could not find any reference to that on the Wikipedia WPXI page
(not that such should be surprising). It would have made sense, given the region's hilly and even
mountainous terrain.

mountainous terrain.
Having been to Uniontown, I too can see WIIC having a translator channel 8 in that city between
the fact that there is a giant mountain just to the east of that city plus at the time of these
listings Uniontown was a much bigger city ( enough to support three very large shopping malls at
the time and this is 1968 we are talking about ) than it is now, much similar to that of
Cumberland, Maryland. Come to think of it I think the local radio station WMBS-AM at one point
in the early 50's even tried to get FCC to approve a local TV station for Uniontown but that never
happened but I do think the local FOX affilate in nearby Morgantown, West Virginia somewhat
serves Uniontown today.
The WTAE listings for "Everybody's Talking" and "Adventure Theatre" that was in the listings. I
also find it very strange that WTAE didn't offer local news other than at 11pm and that was only
for 15 minutes. Didn't Hearst own them at the time? If so that is very unusual considering that
Hearst at the time spent LOTS of money beefing up the news on their Baltimore station WBAL-TV
channel 11 and like Pittsburgh Hearst in Baltimore had to deal with Group W( WJZ ) being their
competition as well.
Are you sure Everybody's Talking was still on ABC at noon?
I seem to recall its last telecast on December 29, 1967, with
Bewitched reruns taking over the slot on New Year's Day '68.
...hmmm. Would it be possible that ABC and/or Goodson-Todman would allow for WTAE to run
videotapes or kinescopes of Everybody's Talking two months after it left the network? Or that
WTAE was actually at least two months behind on delay running the show?...
I was checking out the listings for Pittsburgh's WTAE through May 1968 and "Everybody's
Talking" was still listed in that time slot. I was beginning to think that perhaps this "Everybody's
talking" could had been a local show since it was well known that WTAE was quite famous for
their local productions.
Then I saw the listings for WTAE in June 1968 and Bewtiched is shown to had aired at Noon. Me
thinks it was a typo all along on behalf of the Uniontown Morning Herald even though I did
noticed for a paper whose homebase was some distance from Pittsburgh, it still didn't stop
WTAE ( and KDKA ) from advertising in the Uniontown paper. Maybe some mis-information on
behalf of WTAE?
BTW for the record about WTAE-TV news..the station did begin to offer a 30 minute local
newscast by mid summer 1968.

Although Jack Barry created "Everybody's Talking" during
a short period when he worked at Goodson-Todman, G-T
did not produce it. Barry took it with him but asked that his
name be kept off the credits when ABC bought the show, since
there were still lingering suspicions about his role in the scandals
in the late '50s. Jerome Schnur Productions was credited with
producing the show. The 1973 revival, "Hollywood's Talking,"
did have Barry's name on it, since his career had been revived as
well; he was hosting "Joker's Wild" by that time.

I don't think WIIC ever had a translator in Uniontown. The only translators I can think of in this
part of the country were for WPCB, the Christian station, in some outlying counties. And that
was not till the late 80's. When WWCP Fox 8 went on the air on Johnstown there was much
gnashing of teeth over the short-spacing with Channel 8 in Cleveland. Cable did get a very early
foothold here due to the hellacious terrain for over-the-air TV.

Re: Retro: Harrisonburg, VA Regional Daytime...Monday October 9, 1978
Yes, somebody goofed. Search For Tomorrow still
aired on CBS at 12:30; ATWT at 1:30.
And yes, I enjoy the retros; I guess so, since I post
so many of them.

I don't get it... Why the odd name for their newscast? Was it simulcasting on AM 900?
Also, notice WDCA airs Bugs Bunny, but only WTTG has Porky Pig. Did this happen in many
markets?

It was probably because they marketed it as a 90 minute newscast (though CBS news was in the
middle of it)
WKYC Cleveland did something similar about 1969-72 called "Newsday 90" from 6-7:30 Monday-

Someone posted in an earlier thread saying something to the extent of "No wonder 'Card Sharks'
died after they moved it to noon"....The same thing could be said for Match Game. 4 CBS stations
in these listings, and only *one* aired it. That 4:00 timeslot absolutely killed it.
"News 90" also used by KTAR-TV (now KPNX) Mesa (Phoenix market)
in the late 1960s.
Same M.O.: 5:00-6:30 PM block with Huntley-Brinkley in the middle.

WTVR wasn't the only station in Virginia to had taken this route either. In the late 60's WSVA
( WHSV ) from some of the old listings I had seen called their news being branded as "News
60"..which of course includes 30 minutes of ABC News.
Sounds offbeat but its still way better than WSET's "NewsSET 13" or "worse" yet..Woodstock,
VA's WAZT-TV "The Evening Eye"...that and Mount Jackson, VA's WSIG-FM's "EARwitness News"
has to rank among the worst titles of any newscast.
IIRC on the original "Electric Company," wasn't their parody newscast skit called "Earwitness
News"? (I remember an episode with a newscast of that name).

I think I'm the one who blamed the noon timeslot for the death of
"Card Sharks" and I agree with you that 4 PM was a death trap as
well; I think it was around this time that NBC gave 4 PM back to its
affiliates. Not long after this CBS moved "Love Of Life" to 4 PM and
it aired its last episode on February 1, 1980. ABC had "Edge Of Night"
and only about 60% clearance at 4 (mostly in the Central time zone,
where it aired at 3); one of the reasons ABC finally dropped it in 1984
is because a large number of stations had planned to drop it altogether
come January 1985.

One time, there was a program on Bronx public-access cable titled - I kid you not - "Stinkwitness
News."
Well, that's three of the five senses covered!

In 1980 WEWS TV 5 Cleveland aired a short lived series called "Cleveland Comedy Company"
Friday Nights..with a young group of actors/comedians and a Local Media celebrity as co-host
doing various skits..Sort of a copy of "SNL"..The skits were takeoffs on local Cleveland stuff, even
the media..They did a "Newscast skit" unsig the title.."EyewitnessActionCenter News" using parts
of the names of the 3 network affiliate newscasts:
WEWS-Eyewitness News
WJW-NewsCebter 8
WKYC-Action 3 News...
There are some YouTube Examples..Wasnt great, wasnt that bad either..

The closest any real-life news operation came to using this kind of title was in the latter part of
the 1970's by WTHR Channel 13 in Indianapolis: Eyewitness NewsCenter 13.

Re: Retro: Quebec/Eastern Ontario Wed, Oct 5, 1960

I see a show on WCAX called "Swingbillies." In the
'50s the station that is now WXIA had a show by this
name, airing around 6 PM. I wonder if this is the same
show, or there were several country-music groups using
that name?

Re: RETRO: Dallas-Fort Worth, North and Central Texas, Friday, August 18, 1972
I see Gomer Pyle listed on several CBS affiliates at 3 PM.
By this time CBS was rerunning My Three Sons,
following the cancellation of the short-lived Gene Rayburn-

hosted game show The Amateur's Guide To Love. I have
the North Carolina edition of TV Guide for the week of
August 12-18, 1972, so I'm sure on this point. Gomer
went into syndication that fall; WFMY aired him at 4:30
in the 1972-73 season.
Gomer had started rerunning on CBS at 3 PM (CT) in the
fall of 1969 and had been a factor in knocking off Dark
Shadows, taking away a good chunk of the kid audience.
But I think the editors of the Dallas Morning News TV page
never bothered to update the change.
As part of the numerous changes CBS made on September
4, 1972 (including putting game shows in place of sitcom
reruns in the morning), Family Affair took over the 3 PM (CT)
slot, garnering some of the lowest ratings recorded by a daytime
show up to that time. I notice that one of its competitors at 3,
Somerset, aired in Dallas but Love, American Style did not.
And My Three Sons would have its last primetime broadcast the
following Thursday, August 24.

I suspect they also didn't update some of the NBC stations. From what I read, Bright Promise
ended its run on NBC in March, being replaced by Return to Peyton Place.
I thought it was a good mix, though, with so many dual-affiliations in the outer markets. For the
most part, WBAP was in pattern for NBC daytime, but that would change in a few short years.

During the time I lived in DFW (1976-79) all three
affiliates stayed pretty much in pattern in daytime.
KDFW/4 (CBS) cleared everything until they started
pre-empting 3 PM in 1979; KXAS/5 (NBC) delayed
"Sanford And Son" from 9 AM to 3:30 PM and didn't

carry "Card Sharks"; WFAA/8 (ABC) pre-empted "Happy
Days" at 10 AM, but later picked up "Laverne & Shirley"
at that time and, by 1979, had dropped "Edge Of Night"
and expanded its movie to two hours (3-5 PM).
Today, only one show airs out of pattern: "All My Children"
is on day-behind at 11 AM. "Days Of Our Lives" is on at
1 instead of 12 (CT), but NBC likes its affiliates to carry it
at 1 local time if possible (correct me about the time KXAS
carries it). "Young And The Restless" airs
at 11:30 instead of 11 AM, unusual in the Central time zone,
but it gives KTVT an uninterrupted soap block from 11:30 AM-
2 PM. KTVT also elected to go with the afternoon feed of
"Let's Make A Deal" (2 PM).
I notice, too, that WFAA wasn't carrying Dick Cavett on
that Friday night in '72. Did they pre-empt him or did
they delay his Friday show to Sunday, as Ch. 11 in Atlanta
did?

Very typical of KLTV to be a primary ABC affiliate back in the day, but to end up carrying a lot of
NBC programming during the day, and not even carry ABC's Evening Newscast at the time. I
believe they were carrying shows from all three stations back then....only to drop CBS in 1984
when KLMG (KFXK) came along and NBC in 1987 when KETK came on-air.

In 72, KLTV was still an NBC primary. although they took a lot of ABC prime.
I don't think they ever took regular programming from CBS--just some NFL football games. I
worked there for a while in the 80s. It was quite common on Sundays for us to have an Oilers
game from NBC at Noon and a Cowboys game from CBS at 3:00 (or as soon as the Oilers game
ended).
KLTV even occasionally would take a political debate from KERA (PBS).

As if "big three" network affiliates airing cartoons wasn't odd enough, to be airing it in an hour in
which even independents wouldn't choose to run it (WLVI notwithstanding) seems really odd!
Especially when the target audience is at school.. why put it on if no one is watching?
Just what you'd expect from Bangor's El Cheapo network affiliate ...WVII has had some strange
scheduling practices over the years.

Re: Retro: Maine Tues, Sept 17, 1985
Yes! I remember this lineup! I was living in Old Orchard Beach (York County) at that time. It was a
year before WPXT-TV channel 51 of Portland would sign on (and later become a charter FOX
affiliate). The leftovers of Hurricane Gloria would come through 10 days later, knocking out my
power. The second season premiere of Miami Vice was that night and I was miffed that I couldn't
see it. Yes, the things I remember! 24 years later, I'm finishing a visit to nearby Portland.
I agree it doesn't make sense unless..the school systems in and around Bangor would show these
cartoons to kids at school at lunchtime. My high school actually did something similar for a time
back in the mid 80's..problem was the school only got three channels "Live"..WVPT ( PBS ),
WHAG-TV NBC 25 out of Hagerstown, MD and Washington's WJLA-TV ( ABC ). At the time both
WJLA and WHAG were big on court shows ( People's Court, The Judge, Superior Court, Divorce
Court ) and on Fridays our government teacher "Mr. Monohan" would actually show them in
class to us since we were learning about the court system.
Alas...this came to a sudden end when one Friday when Mr. Monohan showed our class an
episode of Divorce Court, the one where a preteen aged girl walked into her parents bedroom
catching her mother having sex...with her son !!!
The next day..the showing of live" TV was banned in our school except for special news reports
like the Challenger disaster. And yes "Mr.Monohan" found himself getting the ax as a result of
"Divorce Court". He died 3 years later as a result of a car accident..at the age of 31.

Are you changing the teacher's name to protect his security?

Wow, what an amazing story!

Interesting with the NBC stations in Bangor and Portland carrying DooL at 9, to have Donahue at
12:30 and Search an hour later at 1:30. How long did that arrangement last?
I also noticed a PBS station carrying "Electric Company" this late in 1985...I thought it had exited
all PBS stations by this point?

It was still that way on WCSH-TV (Portland) in 1986-87. They would also only carry the second
half of NFL Live! on Sundays, thanks to a noon newscast. Why on a Sunday, I'll never know! They
also didn't often carry the NBC Sportsworld stuff on the weekends. In 1986-87 the coverage of
The Skins Game (golf) on NBC wound up on WPXT-TV channel 51!

I know for a fact that WNET used to carry "Electric Company" as late as 1986. I know because I
used to be a loyal viewer!
Reminds me of WGRZ Buffalo's carrying The Flintstones at noon.
Was there a reason for that? And how long did that air at noon for? I remember seeing that in an
April 1994 TVG...

I may've asked this elsewhere, but did KMOX use the Late Show title (probably The Late Late
Show too) for its movies at this time frame of late night/early morning, as the other CBS O&O's
had?

I actually remember this Saturday well; it was the first one I can remember where all big 3
networks (at the time, of course), trotted out their new Saturday Morning lineups all at once on
the same day. I don't remember it occuring simultaneously with all 3 (later 4 of course) ever
again?
Retro: Florida Keys (basic cable) Tuesday, May 26, 1981
What? Stanislav did a retro schedule? True, I dont tend to post them a little too tedious
transcribing all that info. But Im making an exception for an unusual item in my very small
collection of TVGs and other TV listing publications. It is a May 1981 edition of Florida Keys TV
Week, an independent pseudo-TVG that lists what was available on cable in the Keys.
(Apparently one company had a monopoly on CATV there.) Cover price is 40 cents.
(Subscriptions were 3 months for $6, 6 months for $11, or one year for $20.) Total circulation
about 8,000 copies.
Historically, the Keys were always a problematic location for TV reception. Too far from the
nearest markets (Miami and Ft. Myers) for reliable reception without a big high-gain antenna at
a decent height, and though a network of UHF translators was built by the Monroe County
government, they only repeated the five major Miami signals (chs. 2, 4, 6, 7, and 10), so anyone
desiring a broader choice of viewing options had to rely on cable.
One thing confuses me the premium channels on the system were carried on the same
channels as some of the basic offerings (as you will see below). Not sure how this was done, so
please enlighten me if you know.
The channel grid:
Basic channels:
(The following listed as white numbers on a black background)
[2] (Apparently not used for some reason see below)
(3) WTBS (Ind.) Atlanta GA (the ubiquitous 80s superstation)
(4) WVTJ (CBS) Miami FL
(5) WTMC (Local/SPN) Key West FL (this was apparently a cable-only channel carrying local
programming as well as the Satellite Program Network, of which I know absolutely nothing
beyond its brief Wikipedia listing)
(6) WCIX (Ind.) Miami FL
(7) WCKT (NBC) Miami FL
[8] Local time and weather (probably one of those point a cheap camera at a clock and
thermometer things that were common to cable systems back in the day)
(9) WOR (Ind.) New York NY (Another early superstation, and judging from the programming,
well before they established separate feeds for local OTA and national satellite)
(10) WPLG (ABC) Miami FL
(11) Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN)
(12) WPBT (PBS) Miami FL (The only off-air station that was not carried on its OTA RF channel)
(13) Spanish International Network (SIN) (The progenitor, I believe, of what eventually became
Univision)
Ch. 13 SIN is shown as only available in Area 1 (defined as Key West to Bay Point, or MM 0 to
MM 15 on U.S. 1) and not Area 2 (defined as Sugarloaf to Big Pine and Marathon, or MM 17 to
MM 47) -- probably two separate CATV head ends. SIN is shown in the channel grid, but not
included in the program listings.
Premium channels:
(The following listed as black numbers on a white background)
[8] Home Box Office (HBO)

(9) Nickelodeon (which just weeks earlier had become available nationwide, having grown
from the former QUBE/Pinwheel days)
(10) WGN (Ind.) Chicago IL (The third of the primary troika of early superstations)
(11) ESPN
(12) Galavision (Spanish) like SIN above, only available in Area 1 and not carried in the
actual programming listings)
Again, how did they duplex two stations onto each channel?
I chose (more or less arbitrarily) Tuesday, May 26, 1981 for the post. Listing the basic channels
only. I may or may not subsequently post weekends, or other weekdays prime-time, if there is
enough interest on your part, and enough desire on my part. (The former, almost assuredly; the
latter, not so much...) The program titles are shown verbatim as they are listed.

Re: Retro: Florida Keys (basic cable) Tuesday, May 26, 1981

[2] (Apparently not used for some reason see below)
The cable system in my hometown Winchester, Virginia for decades had done some strange
things with its channel 2 slot. Inside the city limits one received Baltimore's WMAR-TV while in
the county it was WETA channel 26, the PBS outlet from Washington while some people in the
newer developments in both the city and county for some reason ( and for a brief time ) was
able to get Showtime as part of basic service ( Showtime had put a stop to that however within a
few months ) then it was replaced depending on what side of the city line one is in with either
WMAR or WETA.
Now as to why our local cable system didn't offer one or the other to everyone, that I don't know
just that I know it wasn't a decision by either station as both had complained about the situation
for many years. Hagerstown, Maryland's WHAG I seem to recall at one point "requested" to be
removed from our system ( WHAG at the time was under pressure from local Hagerstown area
businesses to NOT serve Virginia as they wanted the WHAG to serve a strictly "tri-state" market )
had the cable system removed WHAG that would had allowed WETA & WMAR to be available for
everyone . It wasn't until Adelphia had bought the system in the late 80s when that became
reality and they for some reason kept WHAG too.
Today TV Guide Channel ( or whatever it is ) is on channel 2 there.

Telefrance USA was a offering (I believe nightly) of SPN featuring French programming.
The split programming on the same VHF channel might have been courtesy of a block converter
that down converted what would become cable channels above 13 to regular VHF channels.
Cable ready TV's were few and far between circa 1981, though my grandparents' 1980 RCA
Colortrak was cable ready.

I think I'm getting the concept now -- so the "premium" channels that were listed as chs. 8-12
were not actually distributed on those channels, but converted to 8-12 at the subscriber? Who
would have a "box" and an A-B switch that would allow him to choose between what was on
those channels directly from the cable line and those coming from the converter? Does that
sound about right?
I understand the lack of cable-ready TVs at the time, but wasn't the more common (and elegant)
solution to just have everything come through a set-top box and fed into the subscriber's TV via
either RF (ch. 3/4) or direct A/V input when available? That enabled them to utilize the mid-band
channels, but labeling them as such (i.e., in this case probably using cable channels 14-18 for
those five "premium" channels) and avoid having the potential confusion of two "channel 8s,"
two "channel 9s," etc?
On one hand, a setup such as in the Keys would simplify things for the CATV folks -- when it came
to separating those who paid extra for "premium" channels from those who didn't, it was all
dependent on whether they had the converter or not, and they wouldn't have to mess with
installing/uninstalling traps on individual subscribers' lines. But it also meant that the few who
did have cable-ready sets would be able to get those extra channels in the clear without paying
for them. I'm sure that as cable-ready TVs became more common, they revised their strategy!

Some cable systems were a dual-coax system, in which two cable lines enter a home, instead of
one -- channels on these systems were usually differentiated with an "A" or "B", to determine
what to toggle on the switch on the box. Buckeye Cablesystem in Toledo was one of these
systems.

Cable-ready TVs were also a way to get channels like HBO and Showtine for free, back in the day
when systems had 12 channels, with the premium channel on an outside, often unscrambled,
frequency, tuned in with a special box. When cable-ready TVs came around, viewers no longer
need the box -- or pay extra for the channel. When the systems got wise, that's when they began
scrambling.

But would that not also entail having two separate main distribution circuits? Or was there a way
to somehow send out more than one signal per channel on the same line, then somehow
separate them at the customer drop point?

I think the official title of the weekday show was "Morning With Charles Kuralt," but I remember
TV Guide listing it as "Monday Morning," "Tuesday Morning," etc. It was a little too leisurely for
people rushing to get ready for work, even though it was every bit as classy as "Sunday
Morning."

I believe the news at 6:00 pm on WTVJ was called the Ralph Renick Report back then.

Re: Retro: Hagerstown, MD Regional Saturday June 24, 1972 ( Hurricane Agnes )
Mid Movie
From my understanding, WRC's late Saturday night movies went by the banner Saturday Film
Festival - only the second station (after New York's WNBC-TV) to use this type of title (though in
WNBC's case, it was the Sunday Film Festival). By contrast, KNBC Los Angeles' Saturday night
movies had, at one time (c.late 1960's) used the Movie 4 title, and Chicago's WMAQ-TV called
their late weekend showcase Movie 5. Would anyone (Tim L, perhaps?) know if Cleveland's
WKYC-TV had a late weekend movie at this point, and if so, what was its umbrella title?

WSBA (TV) York is now WPMT Fox 43 per www.fox43.com .
Re Hurricane Agnes, it really did a number in the Schuylkill and Susquehanna Valleys (Nixon flew
over Harrisburg in Marine One and compared PA's capital to Venice). Agnes even wiped out the
Gwynn Oak amusement park in Baltimore County, MD.
I thank God our household was not affected physically by Agnes and that we didn't have to
evacuate (my mom and I lived on relatively high ground away from any valleys).
How did Agnes treat the Potomac Valley? Hagerstown appears to be on high ground (I stayed
there one night coming home from a vacation last spring) but on the Potomac itself you have in
that area Williamsport, MD, and elsewhere on the upper Potomac you have Brunswick, Harpers
Ferry, Hancock, Cumberland, etc. Who remembers Agnes's wrath?

Anges did a number on just about every amusement park in Pennsylvania too except for
Kennywood, West View and Waldameer only because those parks was in Pittsburgh and Erie.
Hersheypark was just about completely underwater.
The towns along the Potomac were pretty much totally flooded ( in Williamsport the waters
actually reached the tops of the street lamps ) and the places where the river wasn't a factor, the
very high winds were. Winchester, VA lost a drive-in theatre and part of a Zayre department
store because of Agnes while Martinsburg,WV would lose a steak house and a Hardees and
many windows & doors at the Hagerstown Valley Mall were blown out with merchandise thrown
throughout the parking lot thanks to Agnes.

Re: Retro: Western Pennsylvania/Ohio Valley/Youngstown Tues, Oct 7, 1958
What did the CBS affiliates have against soaps,
especially KDKA? I see ATWT, Edge Of Night,
and Love Of Life pre-empted there; I see exactly
two stations carrying Edge, and one of them airs
it on delay; Search For Tomorrow and Guiding Light
pre-empted in Steubenville. This was the heyday
for these shows, for crying out loud!

What did the CBS affiliates have against soaps, especially KDKA?...
This was the heyday for these shows, for crying out loud!
I guess they should have "given it a great deal of thought"...but didn't. <wink>

In 1958, Clarksburg went off of DST on the last Sunday in September;
so as the "clock times" are the same as Pittsburgh for NBC shows,
WBOY-TV apparently was switched to the EST/CST delayed feed for
the month they were out-of-synch.
OTOH, Wheeling remained on DST until the last Sunday of October in
1958 (the first year they did the extension, according to Doris).

Then someone forgot to tell TVG...for World Series games later in the week, a note indicated if
the games were necessary (they aired at 12:45), Clarksburg viewers would see them at 11:45 EST

No, that's actually correct. Live event programming would be sent live to the
EST/CST areas; it was the regular schedule which the networks sent on an
hour delay.
So live soaps--and the evening news for that matter--were not seen live in
the standard time areas, but the World Series was.

Channel 45 in New Castle ran the movie Hobson's Choice two nights after WTAE in Pittsburgh.
They are about 60 miles apart.
Can I assume that stations used to use couriers to shuttle prints of a movie around within a
region?

Perhaps, or if two nearby stations had ties with each other they'd put it
on a Greyhound bus.
Sometimes the syndicator specified "station A" ship the program/movie
directly to "station B." Remember Railway/Air Express?
Film prints were often sent to Bonded TV Film Service in El Lay, which
was a clearinghouse of sorts for syndicated shows and movies.
Are there any TV stations still with (a) working film chain(s)?
I'm sure some of the older posters remember film chain elements such as
RCA TP-7, TP-66 and TK-27, Eastman 275 and 285, and the GE (vertical
flip) and RCA (backflip) multiplexers.

10 PM Cartoons
In an era when cartoons were generally treated as only being for kids, I wonder how many
children were up at 10 PM to watch these?

I have never understood that station's programming
in the '70s; must have been lack of anything else to
put in that slot. Now I can see where Bugs Bunny
would attract an adult audience but at 10 PM? I
doubt it, seriously. If anyone from Chattanooga
posts on this board, tell us: was this a shoestring
operation? Sure sounds like one.

...in 1971-72, KFIZ-TV/34 Fond du Lac WI did the same thing with Mr. Magoo cartoons at 10:00.
Their reason was that they directly rebroadcast WVTV/18 Milwaukee's airings of CBS' Merv
Griffin Show (both WISN-TV/12 and WBAY-TV/2, the Milwaukee and Green Bay primary CBS
affiliates at the time, rejected that show at the time) but WVTV always ran Griffin on a one-day
delay and started it circa 10:15 rather than 10:30. So KFIZ-TV ran a couple of Magoos and an ad
or PSA or two, waiting for WVTV to roll their tape...

That makes some sense, a 15-minute filler. But Ch. 61
wasn't waiting for a network feed or getting ready to air
a delayed telecast of a network show pre-empted on either
Ch. 3, 9, or 12. I guess the only answer is they had an open
spot they couldn't sell to some televangelist (since paid religion
seemed to make up the bulk of their primetime in those days),
and had nothing else to put on.
Retro: Northern Michigan, Fri. May 1, 1964
From the Sault Daily Star - my comments in italics
2 - CJIC-TV (CBC) Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Of note, CJIC in 1964 had a 50-minute long supper-hour newscast, and they provided a newscast
for shift workers at 1:30 AM - pretty good for a small-market Canadian station in 1964. CJIC
moved to Channel 5 in 1978 and since 2002 it has been a full-time repeater of Toronto's CBLT.
Many of the programs listed here are local or syndicated shows as CJIC did not clear much of the
CBC schedule at the time.

3 - CKSO-TV-1 (CBC) Elliot Lake, ON
Satellite of CKSO-TV Sudbury, which seems to have shown significantly more of the CBC schedule
than CJIC. Has been a CTV affiliate since 1971 and became CICI-TV-1 around 1980, still
rebroadcasting CICI-TV Sudbury today.

Wasn't The Tonight Show 90 minutes back then -- find it funny that the station would bail out
after 60 minutes and sign off.
Also found it funny that they didn't carry The Today Show or NBC's morning line-up.

For that matter, it's surprising to see a CBS affiliate (WWUP) that didn't sign on until 5 PM...

Even more odd to me is that WSPD-13 Toledo, Ohio, around this same era, came on the air at
7:20 AM and only carried "Today" from 7:30-9AM. One wonders why they couldnt have just
come on a half hour earlier and just carried the whole show, which they eventually did anyway..

The Tonight Show was 105 minutes long back then - but apparently only 43 out of 190 NBC
affiliates carried The Tonight Show in its entirety at that time. In some cases it was because there
was an option for affiliates to opt-out of the first 15 minutes so they could carry a full half-hour
newscast, and there was even a separate open for viewers of those stations.

Or Harrisonburg, VA's WSVA-TV ( WHSV ) signing on the air at 8am back in the 60's and early 70's
( I believe ) and only airing the last hour of NBC's Today. However back in those days
Harrisonburg was pretty much a giant farming community ( even many local retail stores such as
the Harrisonburg JC Penney at the time didn't open until 11am or even NOON during the week )
so I guess the attitude of the day was "..get them chores done..then watch TV..and/or shop". I
dunno !!

The Tonight Show didn't cut back to 90 minutes until January 1967. During that time when only a
small percentage of NBC affiliates carried the 11:15-11:30 portion, Johnny wouldn't come out.
He wanted to save his monologue until the full network was in place, so Ed and the band would
handle the first 15 minutes. (BTW, here in North Carolina only one of five stations carrying The
Tonight Show aired the 11:15-11:30 portion: WITN Greenville/New Bern/Washington.)

Among the majority of stations that only handled the 90 minutes pre-January 1967, as far back
as 1963, was New York's WNBC-TV, from whose 6B studios The Tonight Show was based up to
1972, with at least two repeat visits in November 1972 and May 1973.

CBC O&O stations were still signing on at 10 AM in the mid-70s, and as late as 1986 most were
signing on at 9 AM. Global in Ontario didn't sign on until 3 PM daily during its first season in
1974, and TQS in Quebec didn't sign on until 4:30 PM daily when it launched in 1986.
In the mid-70s in Mexico, XHGC-5 was the only Mexico City station signing on before noon, and
they showed educational programming during the morning and early afternoon. The rest of the
Mexico City stations didn't sign on until mid-afternoon.
Did any of these "sattellite" stations in Northern Michigan produce any programming for that
area? I remember at one time passing by the WTOM transmitter building on U.S 23 towards
Cheboygan. Good sized building I might add,which makes me wonder if there was a studio in
that building in the beginning. Since my wife and I were tourists up there in the 1980s(we both
love Mackinac and the Soo) I cannot help but wonder if anything was done locally for that
tourist-oriented region by WTOM...it just seems unfair to the northern locals that the
programming was seemingly geard to residents in the lower penninsula south of the Mackinac
Bridge.
My understanding is WTOM had separate news programming when it was first established. I'm
not sure about WWUP.

Re: Retro: Nova Scotia Fri, Dec 18, 1992
I notice the show "You Bet Your Life" on a number of stations (CITV 3:30pm, ASN 6PM, CHCH
8:30pm). Clearly this is not the Groucho Marx version. I suppose this was Bill Cosby's ill-fated
attempt to revive this early TV classic. I remember Buddy Hackett also tried to do "You Bet Your
Life" as a syndicated game show in the 80s. That one didn't work either.
(BTW, there are quite a few episodes of Groucho's version on You Tube, if you want to see how
it's done.)

So any idea when channel 6 ABC would sign on? I know KHMT-DT (FOX) channel 4 of Hardin, MT
came on much later.

Nice half hour newscasts in '64 in small Billings. Many larger markets couldn't match that!

Other way around. KHMT signed on as KOUS November 26, 1980, taking the NBC affiliation. They
changed to KHMT on March 20, 1995.
KSVI didn't sign on until January 8, 1993, more than 12 years later. They were originally to be
known as KPQD, but changed calls two months before sign-on. When they signed on, they took
the ABC affiliation from KULR, KOUS changed to Fox, and KULR took over the NBC affiliation.

So today it's 2 (CBS), 4 (FOX), 6 (ABC) and 8 (NBC). Did they ever have a PBS affiliate or an analog
UHF station in the market?

No.
There is a permit for a satellite of Missoula's PBS KUFM-TV. Calls are KBGS-TV and it's on channel
16.
FWIW KHMT is licensed to Hardin and transmits from roughly 20 miles east of Billings.

KBGS applied for its license last June, so I'm assuming it's up and running now.
If you meant full-power stations, then w9wi is correct. However, there are nine LP UHF stations
licensed to Billings, including PBS station K20HB, which signed on around Thanksgiving 2004. Of
course, that doesn't mean that nine LP UHF stations are actually serving Billings, as three are
owned by entities that have phantom stations in my state, i.e., stations that are fully licensed,
but don't put out a watchable signal. If KBGS really is on the air, K20HB may well be silent also,
although Montana St Univ has not filed a silent STA.

Interesting those Billings stations signed on early enough in the morning in 1964, while the
stations in Traverse City/Cadillac didn't sign on until much later in the day, according to the
listings I recently posted.
A major absence in that market in 1974 is TPIR.

BPatrick:
Not sure of the exact date, but by the end of November 1959, WKST had moved down the dial to
Channel 33. They became WYTV sometime in 1963-64..

8 Movie-The Horn Blows At Midnight-1945
Starring none other than Jack Benny! He made his, shall we say, unspectacular movie resume
one of his running gags for years. I haven't seen it for years, and I don't think I ever saw it all the
way through, but I do remember he played a big band trumpet player who was appointed to
replace the angel Gabriel and blow the horn that signified the end of the world. The other movie
he got a lot of mileage from was "Buck Benny Rides Again".

My personal favorite is "George Washington Slept Here,"
a movie overshadowed by Cary Grant's "Mr. Blandings
Builds His Dream House." Benny's wife, played by Ann
Sheridan, talks him into buying a rundown house believed
to have been a place where George Washington slept while
in transit. The costs of fixing up the place provoke vintage
Benny reactions. Watch for Percy Kilbride, of the Ma and Pa
Kettle movies, as the handyman (sexist?) who keeps telling
him he's going to need more of different things, and how much
it's going to cost.

How early was WJW calling their newscast City Camera? They were still using it as late as 1977,
when it became Newscenter 8, which itself lasted until 1995.

Every Indication is that the name "City Camera" began sometime in 1959. The name came from
reporters/ photographers going out into the city and taking snapshots with Polaroid cameras and
stapling them to corkboard on the wall, even as the newscast was going on. Warren Guthrie's
11PM "Sohio Reporter" was still considered the major newscast, but he preferred to do national
stories instead of local..partly due to the Reporter's "simulcast" into Toledo and Youngstown.
Upon Guthrie's retirement in Mid-late 1963, all the Newscasts began being labled "City Camera"
until fall 1977 when Virgil Dominic came in and changed the format and set along with the name
change to "NewsCenter 8"

Virgil Dominic came back to Cleveland from Atlanta;
he co-anchored "Pro News" on WXIA from 1972-76.
Didn't he become g.m. at WJW?
Also, a note about "Masquerade Party": TV Guide may
have listed it as the last show, but it returned on CBS
in late October as a stopgap replacement for "Name That
Tune." By January 1960 it was back on NBC in a Friday-
night slot, which it held until September. Then it wasn't
seen again until the 1974-75 syndicated version with
Richard Dawson as host.

I don't know exactly when Virgil Dominic became WJW GM, but he remained there till shortly
after the affiliation switch to Fox. He then retired to Florida..He was a consultant last year for
awhile at WKYC-TV 3, where he began his Cleveland career in November, 1965. I dony know if he
still is there or not.
Masquerade Party looks like one of those shows that can be put together quickly to fill in a
programming gap..Not unlike "Candid Camera" or "Amateur Hour"

I was just wondering, in 1959 Toledo already had two TV stations WSPD TV 13 and WTOL 11.
WSPD was well established by that time and had Frank Venner and Jim Rudes, and others, so
why was a Cleveland newscast simulcast into Toledo, did WTOL pick it up, what was the situation
back then?

I would say that about "Masquerade Party" since the network version (1952-60) aired at various
times on all three networks. "Amateur Hour" is one of four shows to have aired on four networks
(including DuMont). No, they don't require a lot of lead time.

The situation was that Sohio, from 1951-63, sponsored a newscast called "The Sohio Reporter"
from 11-11:10 Monday-Friday. Warren Guthrie only did national news in that time
slot..Originating from Channel 8 Cleveland each weeknight, The newscast was fed live to WKBN-
27 Youngstown and WSPD-13, Toledo.
After Warren Guthrie at 11:10, 8,13 and 27 would have their own local news.
Standard Oil, which Sohio was part of, appears to have sponsored other similar newscasts, such
as Esso Reporter, etc..

My book source (Doris) for DST reveals that, for the Sohio newscast years
of 1951-1963, while both Cleveland and Youngstown went on EDT in the
summer, Toledo did not until 1961. I assume Toledo's reluctance through
the 1950s was due to its proximity to DST-less Detroit.
What happened with Toledo TV in the summers of 1958-1960? (1958 being
the first DST period where the networks offered a one-hour delayed feed of
the entire broadcast day to EST/CST areas.)
If WSPD-TV Toledo simply went to "early prime" (6:30-10 EST, late news hole
at 10 EST), they could air the Sohio feed live from 10-10:10 EST. But what if
they used the special delayed feed? Did they record the incoming newscast at
10 EST for airing at 11 EST?

Re: Retro: Chicago 9/15/90
Please post listings from Friday 9/21/90?

7-Little Rosey
This, of course, was the forgettable animated Rosie O'Donnell vehicle...
But hey, if Kid N' Play can even get their own cartoon show...
Wrong Rosey LOL
Actually "Little Rosey" was about a young Roseanne Barr not Rosie O'Donnell.
Of course it wouldn't be long before we get to see Rosie O'Donnell making a fool out herself in
such "classic" movies like "Car 54, Where Are You" and "Exit To Eden" complete with our Rosey
wearing S&M gear..... big apology to those who were eating food while reading my message.
MC Hammer would have his cartoon series in the same time slot on ABC the following fall. That
too lasted a season.

Guess it could have been worse later on. In 1999 I can remember there were serious talk about
some network offering the Backstreet Boys a cartoon show of their own. Contracts ready to go
and everythingonly to be vetoed by their lead singer AJ McLean who saidat the time "TV and
radio sucks..and this show would too". AJ claimed he didn't own either one of those "things" and
the network in question I am pretty sure was ABC. Wasn't there talk abut Madonna doing a
cartoon show? That would be ironic considering Madonna's current feelings towards TV and
radio.

Re: Retro: Colorado Springs Wednesday, January 6, 1960
In some previous threads of COS/DEN listings we've established that the
COS stations were fed via microwave links from the DEN stations and that
delayed broadcasts (tape or film) mostly originated in DEN, but with a few
done locally.

Only the first hour re-feed of Today (9 ET/7 MT) aired; NBC daytime was
all live feed, with the local hole 11-12 MT.
No Huntley-Brinkley, or was 5-5:30 half and half?

6:30-9 MT was NBC live 8:30-11 ET. Did Wagon Train (7:30 ET/5:30 MT) air
on another night?
Did Jack Paar air only 10:15-11 MT (last 45 min. JIP) or 10:15-12 MT (delay
via KOA-TV) and was it same night one-hour delay or night behind?

11-11:30 MT.
Again, was 5-5:30 news slot split between Doug Edwards and local, or
indeed all local? Assume local news was anchored by COS TV legend
Hal Kennedy?
Masquerade Party at 6 was a delay from Monday 7:30 ET/5:30 MT.
6:30-8 prime was live net 8:30-10 ET.
Betty Hutton at 8 was a delay from Thursday 8 ET/6 MT.
Lineup at 8:30 was delay from 7:30 ET/5:30 MT, but was it on tape
(same night or week late) or 16mm film (week or more delay)?

bpatrick or others: the ABC daytime sked appears to be ET minus one hour,
not two. Do you recall if this is when ABC fed daytime to CT delayed an
hour (same clock time as ET)? If so, then this could be the CT feed also
sent to MT.
Africa Patrol was syndicated. KRDO-TV did not air Court Of Last Resort
(7:30 ET/5:30 MT), at least not on Wednesday.
Weaver and Ozzie 7-8 were the 8-9 ET/6-7 MT ABC shows. (On film?)
Fights (10 ET) and Hawaiian Eye (9 ET) were flipped from "pattern" in order
to air boxing live at 8 MT.

Some ABC affiliates in the Central Time Zone, such
as KTRK Houston, did in fact carry the Eastern version
of daytime; I've posted 1962 schedules from the Southeast
Texas edition of TV Guide that show Lufkin, Beaumont, and
Houston (Chs. 9, 12, 13) carrying ABC daytime 11 AM-5 PM
(with a break from 1-2) rather than 10 AM-4 PM (with a break
from 12-1). So it's not out of the question that Colorado Springs
went along with this feed, one hour behind the CT stations.

Only the first hour re-feed of Today (9 ET/7 MT) aired; NBC daytime was
all live feed, with the local hole 11-12 MT.
Did they just air one hour of Today, or did the newspaper grids start at 7 AM? Could be they
aired the second hour of today at 6 AM from the Central feed, but it doesn't show on the grid.

No Huntley-Brinkley, or was 5-5:30 half and half?
My guess it was "half and half". One thing I have learned about old newspaper TV listings was
how some of them would call "Huntley-Brinkley" or "NBC News" they just called it "NEWS" and
nothing more. I saw some old New Mexico listings that did just that but when it came to CBS
they called it "Walter Cronkite". Maybe the newspaper liked Walter better than Chet & David.
Interesting thing about these listings, in the same paper I saw two ads for local TV shops offering
a service to local viewers called "Signal Tracers", where for a price they promised that one can
pick up Denver and Albuquerque TV as well as Colorado Springs. Denver maybe but
Albuquerque? Considering that city and Colorado Springs both have their own channel 13..I just
don't see how that would have been possible.
Back in the early 80's we had a TV shop in my hometown in Virginia that more/less offered the
same thing. One of their ads featured a pic of the Pittsburgh Steelers Jack Lambert standing right
beside announcer Myron Cope with "..How would YOU like to see KDKA and WTAE in
VIRGINIA..we can help you out !!". A few months later this very same business was busted on
fraud.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Monday, October 15, 1962
bp, any idea who anchored the local newscasts? I wonder in particular about WSB, especially if
one believes the claims that it has always come out on top in terms of Atlanta-area ratings.
WMAZ, of course, had Middle Georgia all to itself until 1968, and my guess is that WDEF led the
Chattanooga market.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Monday, October 15, 1962
I know that Ray Moore, an Atlanta legend first at WSB,
then at WAGA, anchored Ch. 2's noon newscast; Paul
Shields (who was still at Ch. 5 when I was at UGA in
the '70s) was one anchor at WAGA (Jim Axel may have
been another), and at Ch. 9 was somebody named Jim
Johnson. Those are the only anchors I'm sure about,
although I think Tom Snyder was at Ch. 11 about this time.

1. Twenty years later, such a matchup would bring to mind "instant tryptophan"...
2. Not that I care - nor did every single person in Philadelphia - but didn't this show always air on
WPHL/17?

PS went into offnet syndication in the fall of 1990. For the 1989-90 season, daytime reruns aired
on ABC. However, since the local noon news preempted the show, WTXF had to carry the show
instead..

Oh - the ABC daytime run - gotcha... Airing right before Happy Days, I wouldnt have known... So
let me get this straight: WTXF "had to" carry these Perfect Strangers reruns that WPVI did not
want? Were they held at gunpoint?

Someone can probably help with this but I believe WTXF started carrying the daytime reruns
from ABC in 1987 or so....WPVI never aired any of the daytime reruns from the "Laverne and
Shirley" days on...
As far as the ABC lineup goes - in July 1990 "Perfect Strangers" was replaced by the new version
of "Match Game" with Ross Shafer...I was almost positive that WTXF would carry that as well,
but it was not to be - the 10am timeslot was replaced by reruns of "What's Happening!!" the day
that MG premiered...Thus, it was never seen in Philly.

Re: Retro:Cleveland/Youngstown Sunday, May 24, 1953
Is "Orchid Room" the same as "Orchid Award"? Castleman
and Podrazik have that show coming on at 9:15, after Walter
Winchell's 15-minute news and gossip show. If it is, one of
the hosts was Ronald Reagan (I think before "GE Theater").

Re: Retro:Cleveland/Youngstown Wednesday, May 27, 1953
Arthur Godfrey must have been undergoing, or recovering from,
surgery to repair a hip damaged in an automobile accident some
two decades earlier. It was when he returned that, conscious of
his awkward movement, he decreed that every member of the cast
take ballet lessons. Julius LaRosa, although he considered ballet
effeminate, intended to be at the first lesson but a family emergency
came up and he was unable to attend. Godfrey apparently thought it
was deliberate, a sign of LaRosa's "cockiness," and he began thinking
about what eventually transpired 56 years ago Monday--firing LaRosa.
No real surprise that Bill Cullen would be sitting in for Garry Moore.
The two were the best of friends; they and their wives spent a lot of
time together. Garry may have suggested that Bill become a panelist
on "I've Got A Secret"; I know he did on "To Tell The Truth."

As I may have stated before, the transition from B/W to color in the '60s is one of my favorite
areas. Interesting how, as far as daytime goes, NBC's lineup was mostly color, while ABC and CBS
had no daytime shows in color. When did the pendulum start to swing the other way for them?

The 1966-67 season for CBS, and the 1967-68 season for ABC. By then, NBC's daytime lineup was
all color (after the last holdout, Concentration, knuckled under in the late fall of '66).

Any idea how that was accomplished? Also, judging by the date this was about the time WSUN

The 1966-67 season for CBS, and the 1967-68 season for ABC.
That being daytime, while in terms of prime time the color push got going
a season earlier:
65-66 had a decent amount of "(sounder) CBS presents this program in color!
(sounder out)"...
Martian
Ed
Lucy
Ange (now sans Barn)
Hazel
Hillbillies
Acres
Gilligan
3 Sons
Hogan
...there may have been a few others on the Eye, while ABC had at least a
couple lensed in tint (Farmer's and Gidget come to mind).
The 66-67 season prime time was full color on all three nets, while fall 65
was almost full color on the snake (or chimes, if you wish) net--the two
exceptions being Jeannie and Convoy.
Disclaimer: some movies were of course B&W.

Too late to add this above (edit window timed out), but getting back to daytime,
is there a timeline on when the five-minute newscasts went to color? Especially
on NBC, though info on ABC and CBS is also welcomed.

You'd see the games 'n' soaps in color, followed by Edwin Newman, Nancy Dickerson
or "Floyd Kalber, NBC News...Chicago" in B&W. Kind of like WBAP on 11/22/63 in
reverse. <wink>

Re: Spokane, September 11, 1976
KREM-2 was still running the annual "Golden Days of Television" marathon when I lived in
Eastern Washington from 1980 to 1984. But some of the shows were a little newer, reflecting the
fact that a number of years had passed -- for example, I first saw the pilot for "The Invaders" on
channel 2's marathon in 1982.

When did WSBK 38 and WLVI 56 get added to the
Maine Edition of TV Guide?
I believe it was sometime in the early 80s...I know for sure they were listed in 1985, the fall
preview issue I've posted listings from before.

DuMont Daytime
One thing that has been elusive to me is what programming did DuMont have during the
daytime? I know DuMont had a least a couple of soap operas like "A Woman to Remember" but I
can't find much info on DuMont programming outside of primetime.

Re: DuMont Daytime
I recommend starting with DuMont's Wikipedia article

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuMont_Television_Network). It is well-researched and has many
footnotes, providing a library of other excellent sites, including the aforementioned site by
Clarke Ingram.
(No, I didn't write the article, but have worked with the person who did, including proofreading
this article for him. The author is a stickler for reliably sourcing his work, and the article attained
Good Article status, just falling short of Featured Article status.)

Re: TV programming in Buenos Aires - Tue June 9, 1998
This is the perfect place to post this, and it's nice to see schedules from outside the U.S. and
Canada. I know myself I have no sources for anything outside the U.S. or Canada.
However it is much appreciated to indicate what stations are represented by the channel
numbers, as channel numbers aren't generally known outside the originating market.
Welcome to the board!

No mistake and that was how they had it listed that day when it was published. The Press might
have not gotten any last minute changes from WIIC but this might be a error before the listing
went to press.

Some NFL games did start at 2 PM (ET); I remember
Baltimore Colts games starting at that time. The second
half of NBC's doubleheader had to have been joined in
progress.

9PM All In The Family (One hour episode)
The infamous episode when Edith is attacked by a rapist on her 50th birthday. The late great
David Dukes played the rapist on the same night he appeared as a cop on 79 Park Avenue on
NBC.
The game was being played in Houston, therefore it would have started there at 1PM.

CBS had the doubleheader that week, so the actual lineup was probably:
KDKA 1pm: Cards-Eagles (Gary Bender, Tom Matte)
WIIC 2pm: Browns-Oilers (Jack Buck, Mike Haffner)

KDKA 4pm: Redskins-Cowboys (Pat Summerall, Tom Brookshier)
The Steelers played on Monday night against the Bengals.

A 2 PM (ET) start time. That is just weird... I guess it's weird to me living in the current "1/4 PM
ET" game timeframe... Thanks for the explanation!

The 2 PM ET/1 CT kickoffs were common in the NFL through the 1981 season, after which the
league wanted all of its early games kicking off at a uniform start time, which would allow for
less disruptions of the late game telecasts.
Baltimore's 'blue laws' at the time did not permit sporting events to start til 2 PM on Sundays, so
the league allowed the Colts to retain the 2 o'clock local kickoffs for home games during '81 and
'82; the laws were repealed the following year, which, of course, was the Colts' last season in
Baltimore.

I remember those Baltimore "Blue Laws" when it came to sports even though my old boss ( who
is from Baltimore ) just flat out refuses to believe such laws had ever existed. Forget posting a
Wikipedia link about it since in his mind people who post/edit stuff on Wikipedia are "f*cking
god-damned liars", .....well thats HIS problem but for some reason I think Pittsburgh had their
own blue-laws of their own when it came to broadcasting and/or sports. Just don't remember
exactly what they were.
Also, I believe there was an 11pm curfew for Saturday night games at the old stadium, so the O's
rarely (if ever) played a Saturday night home game.

Re: CBS Schedule Monday, February 15, 1988
Monday, Feb. 15, 1988 would have been President's Day. During at least the late 1980s (and
continuing until the end of CBS' NBA coverage after the 1989-90 season--and also in the first
year of the "NBA on NBC" in 1990-91), I recall there was an NBA game on CBS (and also NBC on
Presidents' Day 1991) during the afternoon of the holiday (bumping the afternoon soaps for that
day). I was not able to find right now what NBA game was played on CBS on Presidents' Day
afternoon of 1988.

I know they have their own TV networks but is it possible to receive the Australia channels in
New Zealand or vise versa?
I know in the case with Ireland, I remember reading someplace awhile back where they can pick
up the UK Nets and channels even though Ireland has their own TV. Not sure if its still the case
though as far as the BBC and the other UK nets being available in Ireland.

At the time of these listings, I highly doubt it, as New Zealand was about 1250 miles east of
Australia. Today with satellite, probably, though it depends on the beam of the satellites and
what they cover. (For DBS systems, I would probably say "no", as their beams would focus only
on Australia or NZ.)

Boy, that takes the cake as far as weird scheduling goes. 10:30 on Sunday morning for a DANCE
SHOW??? Didn't WKBF know that the potential adult audience for it was probably sound asleep,
trying to fend off hangovers from the previous night's partying? Even excluding that, many
teenagers were forced by their parents to go to church at that hour back in those days, so not
many kids were watching. Why not 7 p.m. on Saturday, instead of a Combat! rerun? Kaiser
stations must have had a lot of quirks like that--probably the reason the company didn't last out
the Seventies.

Yes, Mike Stoud, I was thinking the same thing. That was seemingly poor programming for all the
reasons you mentioned.

I suppose scheduling a dance show on a Sunday morning was a worthwhile experiment in

counter-programming what was usually on TV at that hour on Sundays back then...you wouldn't
have seen this from a VHF station, but an independent UHF station back then would've been
more open to experimentation. Kind of like FM radio back then.
For teens, if they went to church at 9 AM and got home in time, this would be the perfect time
for them.

This is the Spanish version of "Mona the Vampire", an early-2000s Canadian animated series
about a girl who role-plays a vampire, as part of a union of superheroes with her friends. Too
bad this one never aired in the US.
XHTVM 40-CNI
No programs due to labor dispute
At the time the station was going through a nasty strike involving unionised staff at the station,
which began in May 2005, after the station's owner, Javier Moreno Valle, was experiencing legal
problems, as well as being under investigation for tax evasion and fraud. In addition, Valle
"kicked out" the station's operator, TV Azteca in 2002, leading the network to sue Valle for
breach of contract, as well as TV Azteca summoning armed guards to take over the station. Valle
would go to court several times for his actions, each time ending in a mistrial. The station would
return to air in early-2006, though the station is continuing to experience occasional strifes
between Valle and TV Azteca.

This newscast would later move to XEQ-9, airing in the same time slot. I think it moved in early
2007.
It should be noted that these stations are primarily the national Mexico City-based network
stations, and there are many other stations throughout the country, in addition to hundreds of
rebroadcast stations.

Where is "24 Horas"? I thought that was on XEW,
or was it still on the air in 2006?
I couldn't help but think of Los Angeles when I saw
the channel numbers: 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 22, 34,
and 40.

Great post! I always wondered how the programming was during those critical times...
Was that time during the country's economic crisis?
Because of the critical energy crisis, the Government decided to limit the TV schedule to a few
hours per day. That way, people wouldn't turn on their TV sets, thus saving power. I'm too young
to remember, of course, in October 1989 I was only a few months old.
According to the listings, the enforced afternoon sign-off didn't apply on weekends...the stations
signed on around midday on Saturdays and 11am Sundays, going straight through to late night.
What? No channels 4 and 5? Seems strange for a city as huge as Buenos Aires. Do they have
more channels now?
We still have only 5 channels. However, channels 4 and 5 are used in some places of BA for pirate
local stations.

Re: Retro: North Carolina Monday, August 14, 1972
I notice all the CBS stations airing "My Three Sons" at the same time - I'm assuming it's network
and not syndicated.

It was. They replaced the Beverly Hillbillies in December of '71 and continued until CBS got back
into the game show business the following fall with "The Joker's Wild", "The Price is Right", and
"Gambit".

10 AM What Every Woman Wants To Know
(consumer-affairs show hosted by Bess

Myerson; the Greensboro Daily News used
to list this simply as "Bess," implying she had
a big following in the Triad)
Miss Myerson was most likely known "in the Triad" for her years as a panelist on I've Got a
Secret, which might explain the Greensboro Daily News' titling. But at the time of this show, she
was New York City Consumer Affairs Commissioner, a post she held from 1969 to 1973. The
program, I.I.N.M., originated from WABC-TV in New York, which aired the show there.

Since "IGAS" was always carried on WFMY in both
its network and syndicated (1972-73, with Steve Allen
as host) runs, I'm sure Bess Myerson was quite popular
in these parts. I was aware that she worked for the city
of New York by the time she started "What Every Woman
Wants To Know," though, and I also recall it didn't have a
very long run. In fact, within about three weeks Ch. 2 had
replaced it with Merv Griffin (9:30-10:30 AM), pre-empting
"Joker's Wild" until the summer of 1974.

WFMY 2 still runs Andy Griffith between the 5:00 and the 6:00 news, for at least the past 13
years. It's like a second religion.

At one point in the '80s WFMY decided to give
Andy a rest and put "Newlywed Game" at 5:30.
Boy, you never heard so many angry people!
Within a matter of weeks, "Newlywed" was airing
at noon (this was before WFMY started a noon
newscast) and Andy was back at 5:30. He still

wins the timeslot, against news on WGHP and WXII.

WIIC didn't use Steel City News for its newscasts until two years later, when they dumped Adam
Lynch, Ken Philips, et al and replaced them with Alan Frio and Pat Shingleton.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Pittsburgh listings a year later than these since by that time
Pittsburgh's WPTT channel 22 was on the air.
Not sure if this is true or not but during the early years of WPTT, their "Captain Pitt" was the
same guy who did "Captain Chesapeake" in Baltimore at WPTT's sister station WBFF. The late
George Lewis. Both shows were just about the same.
Story goes that Lewis would tape "Captain Pitt" at WBFF and one day the tapes got mixed up. As
a result the kids who were expecting to watch Captain Chesapeake got Captain Pitt instead and
were treated to a taste of Pittsburgh with references to "Kennywood Amusement Park" and
"Monroeville Mall" while Pittsburgh viewers got a taste of Baltimore with Captain Chesapeake.
Whoops !!!!!!!

You're right. I've forgot that they used "Instant News" during that period of this posting.

So in this market, WPGH was the designated dumping ground for unwanted network
programming ("Addams Family" reruns take precedence over "Good Morning America"?
Seriously??) yet "One Life To Live" was not shown in this market? Amazing that WTAE is still an
ABC affiliate!
The ABC Friday Night Movie on Friday the 21st. was Burt Reynolds in "W.W. and the Dixie
Dancekings". The date has some personal significance to me, I just happen to recall it.
The Penguins-Rangers hockey game on WPGH on Wed. 10/19, I am pretty sure the play-by-play
man was Bob Prince.
(long-time Pittsburgh Pirates broadcaster who was famously and controversially fired in 1975)
He did just a hideous job as I recall. I remember him going on and on and on about why Phil
Esposito chose to wear
number 77 while pretty much ignoring the game in progress.

WPTT did come on-air about a year later. I recall a young girl named Taylor who was part of the
cast. She would read viewer mail and sometimes get very confused when somebody from
Western Maryland (Garrett County, Frostburg, etc., fringe of the Pittsburgh viewing area) would
send a letter to Captain Pitt. Obviously she thought she had opened a letter meant for Captain
Chesapeake and was about to hit the blooper reel.
Amazing that WTAE is still an ABC affiliate!
Back in the 70's and 80's, ABC really was at the mercy of WTAE as not only WTAE was the ABC
affiliate of Pittsburgh ( I believe Pittsbugh was a much bigger market then than it is now ) but
also WTAE for a good chunk of West Virginia was the only full-time ABC affiliate available as
Huntington's WOWK ( then ABC ) didn't reach a good many of West Virginia's major population
centers such as Morgantown, Wheeling, Clarksburg, Fairmount..etc and Oak Hill's WOAY...we
wont go there.
Over the years I have read some posts on other sites from those who work in the Altoona-
Johnstown market where they pretty much said that WTAE did quite well there even though that
market had their own ABC..but on UHF though.
A lot of the history of ABC in Western Pa. goes back to the fact that WTAE didnt come on till
1958. Earlier than that the local TV Guide listed about 9 or so stations(In the above mentioned
markets) that had partial affiliations with ABC, including KDKA-2. WKST-45 was listed as full-time
ABC. Though it was in New Castle, Pa./Youngstown, it was the closest full time ABC affiliate..

In the early 1950's Pittsburgh ranked as high as the #6 TV market nationally. That in fact kept the
DuMont Network running for as long as it did. (due to the freeze WDTV was the only VHF station
in Pittsburgh, and DuMont was able to broker time on that station to get clearance in other
markets)
At the time of these listings I believe we were still a Top 10 market. We are now #24. This used to
be a market where you came to settle and finish your career, unless you really had designs on
New York. Now we are just a waystation with constant turnover.

This is true. WOPC in Altoona (Channel 38) was an ABC affiliate but also kind of a joke. Constant
technical problems and a notoriously poor signal.

OK, how did WAGA do it? It should be a week behind. Even if they
somehow purloined the EDT/CDT feed, that wouldn't come down until
5 EST.
In previous WAGA discussions circa 1962, it was noted that they did
get a special feed of Perry Mason to record during closed-circuit time
earlier in the week, so it could air Saturday at 7 (same night) ahead
of the regular feed at 7:30.
Did they get the same courtesy for 20th Century? Whereas Mason was
a prime time sponsored drama, Century was a fringe time documentary
(and perhaps sustaining as well).

As funny as it was weren't there a number of southern TV markets back then who refused to air
"Car 54..Where Are You"? Not so much as the show being "bad" or whatever but moreso it was
the amount of ethnic humor on Car 54. I mean really just how many people in 1962 Carolina &
Georgia really knew what a bar mitzvah is? Atlanta yes but the other cities and towns..maybe
not.
It was more/less the same with Milton Berle in the 50s. I can recall reading in one of my trivia
books that claimed that Milton just couldn't do well in the ratings in either Atlanta and Charlotte
back then mainly because the Jewish humor was something many locals in those two cities just
didn't understand.

I lived in Raleigh in those days and watched Car 54,
Where Are You? on Sunday nights until WRAL switched
from NBC to ABC (which had just happened about two
months before these listings). IIRC, every other NBC
affiliate in North Carolina carried the show.
WAGA may have been allowed to pre-tape The Twentieth
Century, as it did Perry Mason and Rawhide. But the show
was not sustaining; it was sponsored by Prudential.

And chances are they wouldn't "get" Bea Pons ( Lucille Toody on Car 54 ) either or at least what
she did 17 years later after Car 54 had ended..
In 1979 as a "joke" Bea did the combo soft core porno/graphic horror flick "Mother's Day". How
bad was this movie? In one scene Bea's son was raping a woman while screaming "oohh
oohh..DO YOU MIND..DO YOU MIND?" while Bea who is right there watching the whole thing
says "...go for it Gunther !! " even though the same son was called "Ike" in the movie. Bea Pons
kept calling him Gunther !!! Ah It was quite clear there wasn't a script to this mess.
"Mother's Day" didn't do well at first at the box office but once Car 54 became a hit on
Nick@Nite in the late 80's and more and more people were asking "whatever became of Bea
Pons ?", well as a result plans were to re-release "Mother's Day". That spooked Nick@Nite,
enought to move Car 54 to HA !! The Comedy Network which later became of course Comedy
Central.

While I don't recall any pre-emptions of "Car 54,
Where Are You?" in my part of the South, places
like Birmingham may have been a different story.
But Berle did incredibly poorly in the South; in
Charlotte, his rating was less than 2 while "Death
Valley Days" recorded ratings (not shares) in the 50s.
And in Atlanta, I know Bishop Sheen on WAGA used
to beat Berle on WSB head-to-head, and by 1955 Berle

was getting it from both sides (as he was nationally),
with Phil Silvers on WAGA and Cheyenne and Wyatt
Earp on Ch. 11.
One of Berle's former writers once said the Jewish humor
had a lot to do with Uncle Miltie's failure to crack the South;
he'd use words like "hamentashen" (a kind of cake) that went
over the heads of most Southerners. And the creator of "Car
54," Nat Hiken, was also Jewish and the creator of Phil Silvers'
Bilko show. Yet that show did well in the South in first-run and
in reruns--maybe it was the emphasis on Bilko's cons rather than
Silvers' Jewishness.

I know this is only a portion of one state, but in a way I can see why Card Sharks only lasted so
long on NBC. The reason seems to be poor affiliate clearance! Only one out of four NBC stations
listed carried it at this point in 1980.

Chalk it up to being aired at noon (ET), when many East
Coast affiliates were into their noon newscasts. I was living
in Greenville, SC, at the time; it was the only NBC daytime
show pre-empted in that market. Likewise, WXIA Atlanta,
which had just become an NBC affiliate, pre-empted it--the
only NBC daytime show pre-empted there (although "Wheel
Of Fortune" and "Password Plus" aired on delay because 11
Alive carried "Hour Magazine" at 11 AM).

But wasn't a Channel 14 or Channel 69 in Atlanta around that time to carry unwanted network
daytime programming such as that?

When "The Doctors" moved from 2pm to 12:30 on August 4, 1980, that spelled the end of
WGAL-8 in Lancaster carrying anything NBC offered at noon - their "noonday on 8" show moved
from 12:30 to noon to make room. From this point on, the rest of CS, P+, sitcom reruns, Just
Men!, Go!, Hot Potato, Super Password......never seen in the HLLY market.

For some reason the "search" function has stopped working for me on this site so forgive me for
asking a "repeat question" but these North Carolina listings...why weren't the Virginia stations
like Hampton Roads, Roanoke or even Richmond included? Not sure how far "south' Hampton
Roads' stations went into NC or even SC ( if they even did ) but my brother some years back had
told me that the signals of Richmond's WTVR, WXEX and WWBT..its possible to get them in
Raleigh...may not be perfect but they are watchable, of course its been YEARS since I had been
to Raleigh so I can't say for sure. But the fact that no Virginia station was listed...wonder why?
Politics? "Bad Blood" between the stations such as the one that had existed for a time between
WNCT and WTKR over cable coverage?
Also wasn't there an attempt at one time by the Raleigh-Durham stations to take the Nags Head
area out of the Hampton Roads TV market?

But wasn't a Channel 14 or Channel 69 in Atlanta around that time to carry unwanted network
daytime programming such as that?
Channel 69 didn't sign on until 1981. Channel 36 did take some network programs Chs. 2 (ABC),
5 (CBS), and 11
(NBC) didn't clear, but IIRC Card Sharks wasn't one of them.

For some reason the "search" function has stopped working for me on this site so forgive me for
asking a "repeat question" but these North Carolina listings...why weren't the Virginia stations
like Hampton Roads, Roanoke or even Richmond included? Not sure how far "south' Hampton

The Virginia stations had their own edition of TV Guide--Eastern Virginia (toward the end it was
Virginia State, as
Roanoke and Lynchburg were merged into it). In the '50s there was a Virginia-Carolina edition
that included all the
Virginia stations plus Johnson City, TN, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Raleigh, and Durham, but by
the early '60s this had been split (as TV Guide often did) into North Carolina, Carolina-Tennessee,
Eastern Virginia, and Central Virginia.
TV Guide, an employee once told me, had a rule that a station had to cover at least 15% of an
edition's coverage area in order to be included in that edition. The Norfolk stations didn't
penetrate much below Albemarle Sound; the counties above that body of water got Eastern
Virginia; you were a rarity if you got Richmond stations in Raleigh, although I have picked up Ch.
8 in Garner before WGHP signed on. So that's basically why the Virginia stations were not in the
Eastern North Carolina edition (for that matter, Wilmington wasn't in the South Carolina edition
even though their stations covered Myrtle Beach).
I think I've heard that about Raleigh trying to take Nags Head away from Norfolk. Can't see it;
I've never picked up Raleigh that far east. If Nags Head belonged to any other market it would be
Greenville/New Bern/Washington, and even then the cable system would need to pick up WCTI.
Unless things have changed, the last time I looked the cable system there had two CBS stations
(WTKR and WNCT), two NBC (WITN and WAVY), but only one ABC (WVEC).

Never got Raleigh TV myself when I was in Nags Head back in 2002 ( though I did get Raleigh's
WRDU-FM on the oceanfront ) But I can't see the Nags Head/Outer Banks region ever becoming
part of the Raleigh-Durham TV either...unless...in the extreme unlikely event that WRAL would
take over WNCT, WTVD takes over WSKY channel 4 ( and keeps their signal out of Virginia ) and
WNCN uses WITN as a translator or something. Of course it will never happen but interesting
WAVY's Sports Director/Anchor Bruce Rader several years ago did raise some eyebrows over a
similar plan with his "brainstorm" that the Washington DC stations "should take over all of the
Virginia TV..except Tidewater". In Bruce's mind for example WRC-TV should be seen on
Richmond's channel 12, likewise with Charlottesville's channel 29 and Roanoke's channel 10...the
only thing "local" should be the commercials and thats it.no need for local TV news and the
weather can be done by WRC's weather team ( Bob Ryan ). Sports? Washington all the way !!
Why? Because Bruce Rader for some reason believed that Virginia has/had "a lot many
emotional ties to Washington" and to him its good to let the "big guys" take over so therefor
viewers in Roanoke if given a choice to either watch WDBJ or WUSA...they would pick WUSA. No
I don't buy that either and I doubt the Virginia stations would even consider such a plan. Also it
needs to be said the fact that Bruce Rader is from the DC area ( that explains it LOL )...anyway
despite wacky Bruce, no surprise that there was a lot of folks in the DC area who believed this
"plan" is a good one though I seriously doubt the viewers in the other parts of Virginia would
share in Rader's "brainstorm". Be sort of like the Charlotte stations "taking over" Raleigh's. The
Charlotte viewers of course wouldn't mind but I am sure the Raleigh viewers would rather get
their ABC from WTVD and not WSOC.

People in Greensboro might be willing to take ABC
from WSOC rather than WXLV; some cable systems
in the Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point DMA
(especially on the southern end) do, in fact, carry
WSOC. But I agree that Raleigh/Durham viewers
would not give up WTVD. As for Roanoke, there's
only a snowball's chance you-know-where that viewers
would prefer CBS on WUSA than on WDBJ, given the
latter's following in that market; that's about like
substituting Atlanta's WGCL for WFMY in Greensboro.
I think Mr. Rader could have saved his breath because
most people are not going to give up their local news
for that of an out-of-market station. And, oh yes. Where
he does he get off thinking that Roanoke/Lynchburg and
the rest of southwestern Virginia have any emotional ties
to D.C.? The two regions are about as far apart politically
as it gets.

Re: Retro: Kentucky Monday, October 12, 1970
Was there a reason why One Life To Live doesn't appear on WKRC-12 in Cincinatti or WLKY-32 in
Louisville instead showing reruns of The Munsters and the syndicated show Galloping Gourmet?

Several stations, including (in my part of the country)
WRAL Raleigh/Durham and WLOS Greenville/Spartanburg/
Asheville, didn't carry OLTL either. Seems there were station
managers who were uneasy with the ethnic mix of characters;
some of these same stations (including WLKY) temporarily
dropped the show in early 1976 over an interracial-romance
storyline which wouldn't raise an eyebrow today.
Although there were few, if any, affiliate pre-emptions, some
CBS affiliate managers objected to the romance of an Asian
woman and Caucasian man on Love Is A Many Splendored
Thing, and that storyline was dropped.
I would also think that in P&G's hometown, Cincinnati,
Edge Of Night was pretty strong.

WAVE, 6:30 p.m.: NBC Nightly News indeed did in fact employ the platoon strategy for the first
year after Chet Huntley retired. However, Edwin Newman was not formally the third man in the
rotation (he was a fill-in); rather, Frank McGee served that role. How it was set up was, say, one
night, David Brinkley would be stationed in Washington (a la Huntley-Brinkley Report), while
John Chancellor would handle the New York desk, like Huntley did. On other nights, Frank
McGee would originate from 30 Rock, while Chancellor went down to D.C. to report. On still
other nights, Chancellor laid out, while McGee and Brinkley sat in their respective fixed
locations. That meant Chancellor (residence NYC) had to commute quite a lot to the nation's
capital.
It doesn't take an expert to guess that the traveling surely wore him out over a year's time, and
with ratings slipping to CBS and Uncle Walt largely because viewers did not see the same faces
nightly, I am pretty sure Chancellor handled them an ultimatum: "either make me the nightly
anchor and find something else for McGee and Brinkley to do, or I might consider the weekend
desk at CBS, or possibly joining ABC if Harry Reasoner doesn't work out with Howard K. Smith."
So NBC abandoned the rotation in August 1971, and demoted Brinkley to pre-taped three-
minute commentaries that aired about twice a week, while sending McGee to The Today Show,
where he alienated most of the staff and ruled the show with an iron hand (interviews with
Barbara Walters have borne this out) until his death three years later.
The work for all men was even more taxing when you consider that, for that entire year, NBC did
not employ separate weekend anchors. NBC had in fact just began the Sunday evening newscast
the weekend after Huntley's retirement and probably was hedging bets against its failure, so the
Peacock had the trio work the weekends also. This ended also when Chancellor became the
primary weeknight anchor; Garrick Utley became the first of a succession of weekend hosts.
WKRC, 10 a.m.: Last year, I posted a Southern Ohio edition from 1974, where WKRC aired an
entire block of NBC shows that WLWT pre-empted because of its historic Crosley/AVCO live, in-
house 90-minute weekday extravaganzas Paul Dixon and 50-50 Club. My bet is that WKRC was
third in the market and was looking for a piece of any action. Since the ABC feed didn't wake up
until 11:30 a.m., why not?
WLEX, 5:30-7 p.m.: Lexington sure was a rather small market at the time for a station to be
running a 60-minute newscast in the early evening; many of the top markets were not even
doing that. It may well have been a gimmick to keep viewers away from WKYT, which I believe
was that area's top-rated station back then (and may well be now).
WLKY, 12 Noon: Wonder how well a UHF newscast at that hour fared against WAVE and WHAS?
It really didn't work elsewhere in the country back in the 70s, and I can't see how Louisville
would have been any different.
WBLG, 8 a.m.: Huntley apparently did preside over a five-minute syndie offering, but I think it
was more in the line of commentary (think Paul Harvey or Earl Nightingale). I really can't see how
a syndicator would be able to, let alone have an interest to, offer a headline service against NBC
or CBS. That didn't happen until 1980, when New York's WPIX launched the Independent News
Network, for unaffiliated stations to keep their audiences from switching to network affils at 11
p.m.
WBLG, 1 p.m.: It was probably, as you suspected, a typical women's show of the day, with
household hints and topics of interest to the homemaker (NOT "stay-at-home moms," like
today--I would love to slap the #*($ out of people who say that) set. I suspect it didn't last long,
as the station was only two years old at this point, and as I recall, it wasn't listed by 1974.

I'm wondering at what point WKYH-TV (Channel 57, now WYMT) in Hazard, KY, was first listed in
TV Guide's Kentucky edition (the station was about a year old at this point).

WKYH began its appearance in TV Guide around 1980.
Dale Wright was a local radio talk show host. At the time he worked for WBLG Radio (1300).
Wright worked most of the 70s and 80s at WNVL Nicholasville (500 watt daytimer at 1250). He
was ahead of his time and the market with general interest talk radio. For whatever reason, he
never migrated back to the big signals when talk took over the AM band. Wright spent the 90s
working at Circuit City. He passed away a few years ago.
WKYT joined WLEX a few years later producing hour long newscast. Channel 36 (WBLG 62)
stayed a half hour format until the late 80s when ownership finally invested in news. Around this
time WLEX was number one but this would change with the arrival of Ken Kurtz as WKYTs news
director. By the late 70s WKYT was number one.
WLKY was very aggressive promoting itself against WAVE and WHAS. Channel 32 was the
number three station but competitive. It was WLKYs success that motivated the future owners
of WDRB to sign on Channel 41 a year later because of the markets UHF penetration.

It wasn't listed in the Kentucky TV Guide, but rather in the West Virginia edition, as some
counties in eastern Kentucky are considered part of the Huntington-Charleston market. However,
as I mentioned in an earlier post about WKYH, it was listed in the Kentucky edition of the
Louisville Courier-Journal in the 1970s.

WKYH didn't appear in the West Virginia edition until just before it was added in the Kentucky
Edition.
Eastern Kentucky was a market nightmare because of cable television. Back in the day, a county
had a dozen cable operations serving a few homes in a holler or an entire city. Northeast
Kentucky cable focused on Charleston/Huntington. Pikeville, Prestonsburg, and Paintsville
received Charleston/Huntington, Tri-Cities, Bluefield and WKYH.
Then there is Southeastern Kentucky, Letcher County was my vantage point. They received all of
the above plus Knoxville, Asheville and if determined Lexington over one of a dozen cable
systems serving the county. TV Guide was useless beyond network programming because there
wasn't an edition included the possibly six TV markets that might be on your cable. Even the
local newspapers couldn't keep up.
That anomaly may be the reason WKYH was never included in TV Guide. Their viewership didn't
make the cut in any of those markets, but eventually included. For what it is worth, despite the
small ERP WKYH was on many cable systems since it was a "local" station.

After I posted this I looked up something about Chet Huntley.
There was no mention of his five-minute program and I'd never
heard of it until I saw these schedules. I do stand corrected,
however; it was Frank McGee and not Edwin Newman who was
the third member of the short-lived "NBC Nightly News" triumvirate.
Re Lexington news: Lexington has always been regarded as a good
news town, despite its size, and I seem to recall hour-long newscasts
on WLEX and WKYT throughout the '70s. As for WLKY in Louisville,
their noon newscast didn't make it; by the late '70s the only ABC
daytime show that ran out of pattern was "Edge Of Night," which
was on at 10:30 AM instead of 4 PM. By that time, 32 Alive was
owned by Combined Communications (later bought by Gannett) and
was a sister station to 11 Alive in Atlanta (g.m. Jeff Davidson went
from WLKY to WXIA), and in the late '70s had a strong lineup of
syndicated shows: "Donahue," "Emergency One!," "The Six Million
Dollar Man," "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman," "Joker's Wild," "Tic Tac Dough,"
and "Family Feud." It was also the home of Lawrence Welk in syndication
for most of that time. It might have stayed with ABC had WHAS not gotten an
opportunity to win back the Kentucky Derby.
I don't recall Lexington's ABC affiliate not being listed in TV Guide except
for the period in 1980 when it was moving from Ch. 62 to Ch. 36 and was
temporarily off the air. I do recall first seeing WKYH in the West Virginia edition,
when it wasn't listed in the Kentucky edition.
Re Lexington news: Lexington has always been regarded as a good
news town, despite its size, and I seem to recall hour-long newscasts
on WLEX and WKYT throughout the '70s.
I have heard the same thing about Louisville ( that being a good news market ). Cincinatti I have
been told was actually a better "news town" than Columbus and Cleveland in those days mainly
because of Nick Clooney however since I have never seen him do the news, I can't comment.
On the flip side what was the "worst" news town? For many it's Richmond. While one can
debate that issue, its safe to say there is a lot of "drama" for some unknown reason attached to
that market. DCRTV recently posted a lot of emails on his site about that market even though I
have noticed that Dave Hughes did take some of those messages down but regardless it was
more/less a screaming match like former employees of WXEX SCREAMING that they never did
use the "Eyewitness News" brand ( what about those old WXEX TV Guide ads eh? ) and
somebody at Richmond's channel 12 making the claim that WWBT was still airing its news in
B/W all the way until 1977 ( yes 1977 they claim) and that for many years it was "against Virginia
Law" for a local station there to do 60 minutes of non-stop local news which was why WTVR
aired CBS News between the 6 and 7pm newscasts.
Of course all of this is bullsh*, not hard for anyone to figure that out but for some strange reason
( at least on DCRTV anyway ) it still doesn't stop people from thinking that such stuff was a
reality.

WWBT (then WRVA) was doing its local programming
in color in the 1966-67 season, as was WTVR (I know
this because I was living in Norfolk then, and both
markets were in the Eastern Virginia edition of TV Guide).
And I distinctly remember Eyewitness News on Ch. 8 in
the late '70s/early '80s.
As for Cincinnati, Nick Clooney was certainly a force, but
I always thought the dean of news anchors there was

Al Schottelkotte.
Did you ( or anyone else on here for that matter ) ever get a chance to see Jerry Springer when
he was a news anchor for WLWT? I have seen small clips of his work on You Tube over the years
but not enough to see just how good of an anchor he really was.
About ten years ago Jerry Springer had published his bio called "Ringmaster" ( I believe ) and
even though he didn't come right out by saying that HE and his then-co anchor Norma Rashid
were number one in Cincinatti, he sure implied just that.
Having lived in the DC & Baltimore region in the 70s & 80s, I had the chance to see both Maury
Povich and Oprah Winfrey doing news before both as we would say for better or worse had "hit
it big".
Maury Povich wasn't a bad anchor at all on WTTG, Oprah Winfrey on WJZ on the other hand, not
as good but a lot of that had to do wasn't due to Oprah herself but rather it was the then-
popular WJZ anchor team, the late Jerry Turner and Al Sanders, as both came from the "old
school" of television news and neither really liked Oprah as they looked down on women doing
hard news though Sanders did come around later on accpeting the fact that women can be just
as good doing news as men are but Jerry Turner I don't think ever did.

Where Oprah really made her mark in Baltimore was on
WJZ's morning show "People Are Talking," which she co-
hosted with somebody named Richard Sher. When that
show consistently beat Phil Donahue, ABC looked to her
to host WLS's "A.M. Chicago," which evolved into the
syndicated show we see every day. Don't forget, too,
that Oprah anchored (weekends, I think) at WTVF Nashville,
before going to Baltimore.

Oprah Winfrey..one thing that needs to be said is that she doesn't forget her roots. Some years
back she was in Baltimore to visit...WJZ !! Even though her show airs on WBAL and she didn't
even pay THEM a visit.. And despite being 25 years later Oprah and Richard Sher are still good
friends to this day. Likewise with her former WTVF/Nashville co-anchor Chris Clark.
Kinda surprised she has never offered either Clark or Sher a job within her empire but then again
maybe she did but both guys were happy staying right where they are/were since I believe Clark
has since retired from WTVF.

Al Schottelkotte.
Did you ( or anyone else on here for that matter ) ever get a chance to see Jerry Springer when
he was a news anchor for WLWT? I have seen small clips of his work on You Tube over the years
but not enough to see just how good of an anchor he really was.
About ten years ago Jerry Springer had published his bio called "Ringmaster" ( I believe ) and
even though he didn't come right out by saying that HE and his then-co anchor Norma Rashid
were number one in Cincinatti, he sure implied just that.
Having lived in the DC & Baltimore region in the 70s & 80s, I had the chance to see both Maury
Povich and Oprah Winfrey doing news before both as we would say for better or worse had "hit
it big".
Maury Povich wasn't a bad anchor at all on WTTG, Oprah Winfrey on WJZ on the other hand, not
as good but a lot of that had to do wasn't due to Oprah herself but rather it was the then-
popular WJZ anchor team, the late Jerry Turner and Al Sanders, as both came from the "old
school" of television news and neither really liked Oprah as they looked down on women doing
hard news though Sanders did come around later on accpeting the fact that women can be just
as good doing news as men are but Jerry Turner I don't think ever did.
IIRC, Jerry Springer was part of a mid eighties revamp of WLWT. The combination of the new
News 5 and Channel 12's line up featuring Nick Clooney and Ira Joe Fisher brought down WCPO.
Springer was a straight ahead news anchor and featured the occasional commentaries.
Gary Burbank did wonderful impersonations of Clooney, Springer and Shottelkotte. Each "news
anchor" would call Burbank promoting what was coming up on the news. Then they would each
call again trying to one up the other with more outrageous stories.

Something that just occurred to me: WKYH is now
WYMT and is a CBS affiliate--a pretty good one,
considering its location and being on Ch. 57 (although
it's on digital 12). True, the only syndicated show it
shares with sister station WKYT is "Live With Regis &
Kelly," and its newscasts are what you might expect from
a station without much budget, but the station is highly
watched in southeastern Kentucky, southern West Virginia,
and even parts of southwestern Virginia and northeast Tennessee.
(You can get UK basketball on WYMT, usually a sure ratings getter,
last season excepted.) Ever since I've heard of the station I've
always felt that management (and the station was founded by the
eight-time mayor of Hazard, Bill Gorman) has been very much in
tune with the tastes of the area it serves (if somebody posted some
schedules from the '70s they'd find a lot of gospel and bluegrass shows,
while today there'd be a lot of sports and Andy Griffith reruns).

And at one point it was listed in three editions of TV Guide:
West Virginia, Kentucky, and Bristol/Kingsport/Johnson City.

West Virginia, Kentucky, and Bristol/Kingsport/Johnson City.
Bill Gorman pursued a television station after the CBS documentary on the plight of Appalachia.
He felt the news special didn't reflect the real story of life in the mountains. WKYH, as small
town as it was, served as a voice to Eastern Kentucky since there wasn't a local station or even
one from Kentucky serving the population. Until the eighties many cable systems in
Southeastern Kentucky imported VHF signals from Huntington, Tri-cities and Knoxville and
ignored Lexington (an all UHF market). So "local" news was West Virginia, Tennessee and
Virginia. Even with only 214kw they had a loyal audience. Back in 1980 the station was off the air
for weeks due to a faulty klystron tube and the phones rang off the hook until they returned.
Kentucky Central purchased WKYH from Mayor Gorman in 1985 and rebuilt the facility. Nothing
from the old 57 was used for WYMT. Shortly after the purchase the old WKYH burned to the
ground destroying everything. The last time I went through the area the old tower was still
there.
By the way, a search of WKYH on you tube will bring up a few videos from the last days.

That's weird, it looks like WNED wasn't airing Sesame Street at the time, as the first season was

I believe this should be "Christian Children's Fund", correct?

Taking into consideration that this was the mid 80's, the time of year and the fact that it was an
independent station i'm guessing that the 6 PM listing for KEKR 62 might have been an episode
of Scooby Doo Where Are You?(there was an episode of Scooby Doo called that, I have it on DVD
as a matter of fact), just guessing though.

Some questions:
What aired at 2:00 PM?
What year was the movie Dallas from?
Were Popeye and Pink Panther listed as one hour?

62 Halloween Thriller (Vincent Price hosts this video show featuring ghosts and ghouls of every
kind)
Could this had been "The Hilarious House of Frightenstein" only to be called something else
here? I know back in the early 80's I remember seeing this show someplace and it was a bit
bizzare complete with music such as a scene I remember where The Wolfman dancing to the
Diana Ross tune "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" but it was called "Thriller Time" or something
like it and NOT Hilarious House of Frightenstein though years later thanks to You Tube I found
out it was indeed the latter.
But then again at the time of these listings Vincent Price was "cool" again with the younger
crowd thanks to his voice being featured in the Michael Jackson "Thriller" music video so I will
guess it wasn't Hilarious House.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Tuesday, October 27, 1981
Pardon me if I'm a little too technical, but... shouldn't this be titled, "Bugs Bunny's Hop-o-ween
Special"?

I wonder what WRIP 61 Chattanooga's schedule was like at this point. If you can find it I would
like to see it.
Thanks

The Bugs Bunny title makes sense, I suppose,
but the title with "Howl-Oween" is what CBS's
ad says.
For some reason the Atlanta edition dropped
Ch. 61, then picked it up again at some later
date; it's in issues from the '90s, by which time
it was WDSI, a Fox affiliate. I will, however,
give you Ch. 61's schedule for Tuesday, August
31, 1982, from the Knoxville-Chattanooga edition:

6 AM Morning Stretch
6:30 Rick Igou (talk)
9:30 Jack LaLanne
10 AM 700 Club
11:30 Jimmy Swaggart (this is probably
Study In The Word)
12 N Make Room For Daddy

3:30 Dudley Do-Right
4 PM McHale's Navy
5 PM Kojak
6 PM Star Trek
7 PM Buck Rogers In The 25th Century
8 PM Movie: "But Not For Me"
10 PM INN News
10:30 I Love Lucy
12 M Words Of Life
Don't know that this will answer your question,
but you can see that Ch. 61 has started to move
away from its mostly-religious format by this time.

I'm guessing WDEF-TV did their own one-hour delay here, as it would likely
be simpler than getting Telco to switch them to the special Central zone feed
via WBBM-TV Chicago for early morning, then getting their line switched back
to the regular NYC origination for "daytime" at 10 ET...unless they also had a
a microwave link from WLAC-TV Nashville.
9 AM Wake Up (With The Captain) (shades
of things to come--Ch. 46 airing a
CBS program)
9:30 Up To The Minute (another one--aired

on the network at 4 PM)
So, how can Up To The Minute be up to the minute...if it's a day behind? <wink>

Re: Retro: Barcelona (Spain) - Mon July 03, 1989
I take it that these are networks. Are programs
transmitted over UHF channels exclusively, as
they are in the UK? If so, what are the local

channels in Barcelona?

TVE-1 broadcasts over the VHF, and TVE-2 over the UHF. I'm not sure about the others.

7:30 Beagles (delay from Sun 4 PM)

9:30 Dark Shadows
...was The Beagles still on CBS at that time (and WTVT pre-empted it), or had ABC picked up the
reruns for that season? Also curious as to how many stations ran Dark Shadows tape-
delayed/kinescoped in the mornings rather than the afterschool network pattern that led to its
becoming a highschoolers' cult favourite. Also assuming that the Children's Doctor was Dr.
Lendon Smith, who did a five-minute spot on ABC in later years, listed under his name in most
editions of TV Guide...

"The Beagles" was rerunning on ABC after having
spent the previous season on CBS. At the time,
ABC programmed kids' shows late Sunday afternoons
against football on CBS and NBC during the fall.
"Tennessee Tuxedo" aired at 4:30, IIRC.
I couldn't tell you how many stations carried "Dark
Shadows" in the morning; I know WRAL Raleigh and
WBRC Birmingham did. But both stations, as well as

WFTV, eventually moved it to the afternoon.
And "The Children's Doctor" is indeed Dr. Lendon Smith;
some editions of TV Guide noted that fact. That series
lasted until 1969; he's probably best known as a regular
on "Good Morning America."

A note about "The Beagles":if CBS had still
been carrying it, and it was pre-empted in
Orlando, WDBO (WKMG) would have done so;
WTVT is in Tampa. The ABC affiliate in the Bay Area,
WLCY (WTSP), did not carry the show. It had movies
at that time on Sundays, and local programming in
the early morning Monday-Saturday, with religious
programs up to 9:30 AM on Sunday.
It's quite likely that Ch. 6 would have carried the

show on Sunday afternoons if CBS had had it; as it was,
it carried reruns of "Celebrity Game" at 5 PM, followed
by "Ted Mack's Amateur Hour" at 5:30. WTVT, by
contrast, carried Gadabout Gaddis's fishing show,
followed by "The 21st Century" on a week's delay.
BTW, at the request of its creator, the entire
series has been destroyed (go to ToonTracker).
Shame, since Stringer and Tubby are either an
animated Abbott and Costello or Martin and Lewis,
I was never sure which. The songs are passable.
But it's strange that CBS ever dropped the show,
since it was easily winning the 12:30-1 PM (ET)
slot on Saturdays in the 1966-67 season.

And "The Children's Doctor" is indeed Dr. Lendon Smith;
Or as Johnny Carson used to describe him, "Baby doctor...About this high."

That would be a Spanish version of the TV-Movie "A Day for Thanks on Walton's Mountain"
(1982).

Re: Retro: Buffalo Thursday, February 29, 1968
It wouldn't be long (a matter of months IIRC) until channel 7 synchronized its news schedule with
channels 2 and 4. At that time it would lock in its long term anchor team (Irv Weinstein, Tom Jolls
with weather, Rick Azar with sports) that would take WKBW-TV to the top of the Buffalo market
Nielsen ratings for news by 1970--and #1 is where they would stay until Irv retired in 1998.

Of course having the top radio station in Buffalo at the time, that being WKBW-AM 1520 I am
sure didn't hurt. Didn't the jocks at WKBW radio have an active role at WKBW-TV? Remembering
the many of times from listening to "KB Radio 15" in Maryland, WKBW-TV sure used their radio
sister quite a bit in those days to promote their news and syndicated line-up but I have often
wondered if there was a lot of WKBW radio on WKBW-TV?

Depends on what period of time we're talking about.
In the early years of Channel 7's life, from initial sign-on in 1958 to about 1965, there was a lot of
crossover between the two stations, which occupied studio buildings next to each other on Main
Street. Longtime anchor and news director Irv Weinstein began on the radio side and moved
gradually over to TV during the 60s, while radio personality Jay Nelson also did a TV kids' show in
the 1958-63 period as "Jungle Jay" (which gave him a nickname that stuck with him even after he
moved on to a long career as Toronto's top morning man on 1050 CHUM).
That faded as Channel 7 gradually developed its own program team and its own news identity
during the late 1960s .
By the time I joined KB Radio's news staff in '77 the two stations still did a lot of cross-promotion
on air, but rarely shared program or news talent. The two stations had totally separate
newsrooms and news staffs, the TV people never appeared on radio and KB's jocks rarely
appeared on TV except for the annual Variety Club telethon. After 1979 they moved to separate
studio buildings several miles from each other (KB Radio on Delaware Avenue and Channel 7
near the waterfront downtown) which made the rare crossovers even rarer. KB's morning host
Danny Neaverth even became a regular on WGR-TV Channel 2's news, and that was prior to the
sale of the WKBW stations to separate owners in 1986 as fallout from the Capital Cities/ABC
merger which had very briefly made them defacto ABC O&Os.

Re: Retro: Kentucky Friday, November 1, 1968
7 PM Political Talk By George Wallace

(third-party candidate for President
that year, delay from Mon 7:30)
4 PM Vivienne! (local, with singer
Vivienne Della Chiesa)
4:25 CBS News (Douglas Edwards--don't know
how Ch. 9 accomplished this since SFT
was 30 minutes, not 25)
3:30 T-Bar-V Ranch
9 AM Town Talk (Secretary of the Interior
Stewart Udall and former Kentucky
governor Edward Breathitt discuss

Hubert Humphrey's Presidential campaign)
8 AM Uncle Waldo
WAVE, 7 p.m. and WKYT, 9 a.m.--Three days later, Kentucky, a traditionally Southern Democratic
state, would witness Humphrey and Wallace knock their heads together in the voting booth and
give the Commonwealth's electoral votes to Richard Nixon. This also happened in neighboring
Tennessee.
WLWT, 4 p.m.--Vivienne (actually spelled "Vivian") Della Chiesa died earlier this year, back in
January. According to her bio on Wikipedia, she made an unusual transition, from being a full-
fledged operatic soprano to doing a lounge act. It mentions that she was an "interview show
hostess on live morning television" (an obvious inaccuracy), but does not mention Cincinnati in
particular. I take it this was intended to make a trifecta of Crosley/AVCO daytime shows, to
accompany Paul Dixon and Bob Braun earlier in the day, and for viewing on the other "WLW"
stations in Dayton, Columbus, and Indianapolis. Whatever it was, I do not think it lasted a long
time, probably due to her engagements out in Las Vegas and so on.
WCPO 4 and 4:25 p.m.--Yeah, you're right. Channel 9 would have had to do some finagling with
the tape in order to squeeze it into 25 minutes, as I am sure CBS would have in no wise given the
station permission to delete the commercials. The only reason WCPO probably bothered
carrying it was, of course, that Search was a Procter and Gamble (HQ: Cincinnati) soap, knowing
that it would be blamed for the embarrassment that would ensue from P&G execs (and the
consequent heat CBS would feel) if it were pre-empted. (Some years later, WLWT pre-empted
P&G's Somerset, passing it like a hot potato on to ABC affil WKRC, who placed it along with a
block of WLWT NBC refusals in the morning)
WHAS, 3:30 p.m. and WLKY, 8 a.m.--both local kiddie shows, I presume. As I have said before,
these shows were the marked men of local television schedules around this time period. No one,
however, could have foreseen the cataclysmic decline that occurred throughout the U.S. within
the next three or so years, though.

Re: Retro: Kentucky Friday, November 1, 1968
I've seen Ms. Della Chiesa's name spelled both
ways, but you're right, her show didn't last very
long. I've seen old listings where she would appear
on "Voice Of Firestone" (that was in her opera days)
fairly frequently, and when I first heard of this afternoon
show on WLWT I was, frankly, surprised.
"T-Bar-V Ranch" on WHAS dates back to the station's
earliest days, but I don't think it did very well at 3:30
and spent its last months at 9 AM, following "Captain
Kangaroo." It was canceled around 1970, when WHAS
discovered it could make more money with sitcom reruns
and game shows like the syndicated "Beat The Clock."
"Uncle Waldo," on the other hand, is the syndicated title
for "Hoppity Hooper."

Re: Retro: Central Pennsylvania Thursday 9/29/94
...when alternate programming is listed for Channel 9, it will be listed second.
Did this TVG edition list the alternate schedule as a special note within parentheses, or as a
separate channel? Also, was the alternate programming the EMI Service, or the local channel?
The Hartford Edition of TVG had listings for the local and EMI Service versions of WWOR, listed
separately under separate bullets.

I believe up until early 1995 it did; after that, the (WOR) bullet was added for the alternate
programming. Until then, it was listed in parentheses.
Early 1995 also brought listings for WPSG to the Central PA edition too.

Re: Retro: Philadelphia Wed, Nov 2, 1966

Not listed: WUHQ 35-Edu Philadelphia; programs aired M/W/F 9:30-3, and Tu/Th 9-3
I thought the station was known as "WUHY" -- the only other WUHQs I've known of were in the
Grand Rapids market: the old WUHQ channel 41 (now WOTV), and the current LPTV station.

'Where The Action Is" did air on ABC at 4:30,
but Philadelphia was luckier than we were in
Norfolk, where WVEC aired it on a day-behind
at 8 AM!
I don't think I've seen any market--even Atlanta--
where there was so much schedule-juggling. WSB

had nothing on KYW iin that department, and WXIA
(when it was an ABC affiliate) rarely pre-empted as
much as WFIL/WPVI, even in the '70s when it ran
news instead of "Password" at noon and the "3:30 Prize
Movie" instead of "One Life To Live" and "Love, American
Style" in the afternoon.

Re: Retro:Cleveland/Akron/Erie/Youngstown Monday, January 5, 1959
"Play Your Hunch" moved from CBS to ABC this day;
it didn't move to NBC until 1960, replacing the original
"Treasure Hunt," which Jan Murray asked NBC to cancel
because of allegations that staff members were taking
bribes to allow certain people on the show.
As for WEWS carrying Bob Cummings, who was on NBC
at the time, it's rare that any affiliate picks up another
network's show when each network has a full-time affiliate,
but it has happened; I have mentioned that the CBS affiliate
in Norfolk carried Joey Bishop's late-night show when the
ABC one turned it down; likewise, the CBS affiliate in Spartanburg,
SC, carried "Treasure Isle" when the Asheville, NC, ABC affiliate
turned it down. And for a time in the '60s, Walter Cronkite aired
in Atlanta not on WAGA, but on WAII (WXIA), the ABC affiliate.

bpatrick:
Thanks for the insight on "Play Your Hunch"..From seeing it on GSN, I always thought it had been
an NBC show prior to being on ABC. Playing another network's primetime by show seemed to be
more rare in Cleveland than elsewhere once the longtime affiliations became established by
1955.

Re: Retro: Victoria/Riverland & South East South Australia Sat, Nov 6, 1982
SES Big Shamus, Little Shamus (PGR, sign-off 11.55 CT)
I assume this was the same show that aired on CBS back in 1979 and only ran for SEVEN
episodes..yet here it is..airing down under four years later yet I am sure at the time of these
listings just about totally forgotten by American TV viewers.
As I can recall "Big Shamus..Little Shamus" was set in a casino in Atlantic City just after gambling
was allowed there. OK not a bad place to set a TV show..but the unrealistic part..in at least one
episode "Little Shamus" was seen walking around the casino by himself. Ah a child being alone in
a casino for any reason that is illegal per-New Jersey casino law. At least it was in 1979 when my
mom and I were in AC at the time I was 11. I remember seeing my mom off into the distance
playing a slot machine so I decided to walk into the casino towards her only to have security
SCREAM at me to get the hell out of here or they will ARREST my mother.
So "Little Shamus" was allowed to be in a casino on his own. BLAH !!!!
Ok..it was only a TV show. I feel better now. ;D

b,
Not sure if this has been asked before, but was Y&R a "non-starter" on
WBTV for quite a while, even post-Betty Feezor?

IIRC, WBTV didn't start carrying Y&R until it went to an
hour, February 4, 1980. WCCB carried it briefly on delay

when it was an ABC affiliate (9:30 AM in the mid-'70s) but
didn't have much luck with it. I can't say that Charlotte viewers
had difficulty getting up to speed, because with the expansion,
most of the existing characters were replaced, new storylines created,
and the show began to resemble what it is today. SFT moved to 10 AM
on WBTV when Y&R got the 1 PM slot.
M*A*S*H and All In The Family had indeed finished their daytime runs
on CBS. M*A*S*H seems an odd choice to air in daytime; perhaps that's
why CBS aired it in late afternoon (more potential male viewers). Not nearly
as odd, though, as ABC's daytime reruns of The Fugitive in 1967-68.
I believe All In The Family and M*A*S*H
had just ended their daytime runs on CBS.
They did; those two shows began in syndication on this day. M*A*S*H aired as a daytime rerun
on Friday, September 14, and was in syndication the following Monday. Also of note is "Happy
Days Again" starting in syndication on this day as well.
It always fascinated me when reruns had different titles in syndication (so as not to confuse the
viewer)..
This goes back to the first Network series to go into syndicated reruns-The original Dragnet.
Repeats of the first couple of seasons were known as "Badge 714" when the series went into
syndication in 1954
It doesn't happen much anymore...Are viewers smarter now?

What was the last show to carry a different title for syndication? "CHiPs Patrol" comes to mind...
"Chips Patrol" was the last one I can remember..that and "More Real People" but I don't
remember if that was just stuff that came from "Real People" or was it all new stuff? No market
near me would even touch "More Real People" !!!!!
But there were two titles that never came to be.
When the ABC-TV nighttime soap "Dynasty" entered syndication as I can recall the syndicated
title was to be called "Denver" since that was the city where the wealthy The Carrington family
had lived in, like the Ewing family lived in Dallas on the TV show "Dallas". Get it? "Denver"
"Dallas" ?? Yes I would suppose this "could" confuse viewers and even the dumbest of viewers
would get the idea the idea that "Dynasty" was a rip-off of "Dallas". Anyway "Denver"..well the
syndicated title of "Dynasty"..UGH..you see even I am confusing myself with this..LOL......well this
never happened even though I think "Dynasty" was called "The Denver Family" or something like
it when it was seen in a handful of other countries.
Back in the 70's I can remember reading in the paper at the time where some big shot within the
city of Indianapolis, Indiana had appraoched Norman Lear about "adding" the name of their city
to the syndicated title of "One Day at a Time" since that show was based there and of
course..Indianapolis wanted you to know that. Not sure how that would be done..."One Day at a
Time in Indianapolis" ? "The Indianapolis Chicks" ? "Indianapols Takes It...One Day at a Time" ??
Well regardless..Norman Lear took a pass on that suggestion.

It's kinda depressing that I can find more show that I like in that listing than we have in the 100's
of channels we have today. Guess I'm just getting old
Wow WSOC sure got a lot of mileage out of those M*A*S*H reruns!
M*A*S*H, IMHO, was one of the most successful syndicated sitcom reruns ever. WHTM in
Harrisburg carried it from its syndication debut in 1979 through all of the '80s and into the early
'90s. WNYW in NYC carried it even longer than that.
Indeed it was. M*A*S*H was the top rated show in syndication pretty much from its syndication
debut in 1979 until it was dethroned by Wheel of Fortune five years later.
One would say, "gee, you'd think? It's a Fox O&O", but sure enough, Metromedia owned WNEW
carried the show. I think Metromedia also owned KTTV in L.A. as well, both of which and others
ended up going to Fox.
When the ABC-TV nighttime soap "Dynasty" entered syndication as I can recall the syndicated
title was to be called "Denver" since that was the city where the wealthy The Carrington family
had lived in, like the Ewing family lived in Dallas on the TV show "Dallas". Get it? "Denver"

syndicated title of "Dynasty"..UGH..you see even I am confusing myself with this..LOL......well this
never happened even though I think "Dynasty" was called "The Denver Family" or something like
it when it was seen in a handful of other countries.
It was known as Der Denver-Clan ("The Denver Clan") in German-speaking countries:

Odd thing with M*A*S*H that in Madison, Wisconsin, two stations carried reruns of the show
concurrently (CBS affiliate WISC and NBC affiliate WMTV) around the mid-80s. I'm not sure if this
happened in another market, but I always found it strange that two stations (and this of course
was in the pre-duopoly days) were the same syndicated program in the same market.
Now in Los Angeles, you have KDOC carrying reruns of Everybody Hates Chris (also airing
weekday mornings on KCOP) and Frasier (overnights on KCBS).
This happened for a year or so in Dallas/Fort Worth in the mid-eighties, as well. The original
syndication package (all the episodes through to the end of the 1978-79 season) ran on our NBC
affiliate, KXAS channel 5, while the newer episodes (Fall 1979 and onward) ran on independent
KTXA channel 21.
KXAS had originally won the package and started airing the "MASH" reruns in 1979, but got
outbid by KTXA when the package was up for renewal. Some oddity in the contracts resulted in
an overlap period, where both stations held rights to the show, but not for the same episodes.
After a year, rights for all of the episodes reverted to KTXA and the show disappeared from KXAS.
Perhaps something similar happened in Madison?
I'm thinking so, Tom. I forget what station had which sets of episodes; I want to say that WISC
aired the older episodes, while WMTV had the ones to the end. I want to also say that they had
a similar arrangement in Milwaukee, where I know that WISN and WITI had aired M*A*S*H
reruns on and off through the years, although I can't say for sure that both stations aired
M*A*S*H reruns concurrently like in Madison and Dallas-Fort Worth.
And KBTV 9 (Now KUSA 9) carried it even longer than THAT by parking it in the 10:35 PM slot
(Even going so far as to delay Nightline till 11:05 PM when Nightline first started).
This all changed however once ABC bolted for KMGH 7, leaving them with NBC, who had just
sold KCNC 4 to CBS. NBC required that all NBC affiliates carry The Tonight Show immediately
after local news. Faced with the choice of either signing with NBC, a FOX affiliation (You just
know FOX would've JUMPED at the chance of landing on KUSA 9 if the station was foolish
enough to thumb its nose at NBC because FOX was still trying to get its feet planted in 1995),
signing with UPN or going independent (Which was almost always a TV station's death knell back
then), KUSA swallowed its pride & signed with NBC (And gave up its pride & joy at 10:35 PM in
the process).
As a result, look at what we have now.....

Delaying "Nightline" in favor of "MASH" worked out very well for KBTV/9 in Denver for quite a
few years.
The long-defunct "TV/Radio Age" printed a list of stations carrying "MASH" in the Top 100
markets in early 1983 -- complete with ratings from the November 1982 sweeps. At that time,
"MASH" had been running for just over three years in syndicated reruns, and was earning a 20
rating/63 share for KBTV at 10:30 PM.
In comparison, "The Tonight Show" was in second place, with a 13 share -- just over 1/5 the
audience of those "MASH" reruns.
That 63 share probably marked the most successful market in the country for "MASH" -- but
there were quite a few other cities where it ran against "The Tonight Show" and won quite
handily. Nationally, it was the top show in syndication, with an average 13.5 rating/29 share in
177 markets. Second palce went to "Family Feud", with a 12.4 rating/22 share on 124 stations.
"More Real People" was reruns of "Real People," and it ran into an access problem in 1983.
WEWS Cleveland and WXIA Atlanta had bought the show to air at 7:30 and had actually put it
on...until the FCC reminded them that both stations were network affiliates (ABC and NBC,
respectively) in top-50 markets, which prohibited both from airing reruns of network shows in
that timeslot. I don't know why either station thought it could get away with it.

I'm curious about something. I know that WKYC's afternoon movie series bore The Early Show
title left over from Westinghouse/KYW days (ironic, given Westinghouse's eventual acquisition of
CBS whose O&O's had movie shows with that title), but did Channel 3 have a late weekend
(Saturday or Sunday) evening movie series at this time period (1969), and if so, would anyone
know the title (given WNBC New York's Sunday Film Festival, WMAQ Chicago's Movie 5 and
KNBC Los Angeles' Movie 4)?
WBhist:
From the days I have for that particular week, WKYC-TV had a Double Feature Saturday, April 26,
1969 at 11:20-Onionhead (1958) with Andy Griffith and Song Without End (1960)..I am not sure,
but it seems WKYC titled this movie slot "The Late Show"..At the same time, WEWS-TV 5 called
their movies either "Million Dollar Movie" or "Movie 5" while WJW called their late movies
"Cinema '69" (or whatever year)..WKYC had Tonight Show reruns Sunday nights at 11:30

Re: Retro:Cleveland/Northeast Ohio Thursday May 1, 1969
Interesting you bring up "Cinema '69" (or whatever
year) since sister station WAGA used the same title
for its Wednesday-night locally-originated movie.
I assume all the Storer stations used this title, as
did WGHP, which was repped by Storer and borrowed
heavily from Atlanta, Cleveland, and other Storer cities
for its schedules in those days.

OECA's station, CICA-TV ch.19, opened up that year on September 27.
17 Sesame Street (c/ep 131 launches the show's second season with guest stars Carol Burnett
(showing noses' versatility), Bill Cosby (reciting the alphabet), Alan Arkin and Barbara Dana (the
latter two showing co-operation))
Arkin and Dana would appear regularly that season, mainly to show various lessons in
cooperation.

3-6-10-11k-12 Sesame Street (c/ep 28; CBC ran an ad for the show in that week's TVG showing
Bob McGrath on the steps of #123 reading to a group of kids)
I think it's around this time when the CBC began running Sesame Street, starting with the first
season. The pic of Bob reading to kids probably came from a series of test episodes, when the
producers originally planned on including a reading segment on the show (it was discarded when
the series debuted).
3:30
11 Lucille Ball (c/Lucy Show? Vivian Vance and Gale Gordon were listed as well)
I think it would have to be "The Lucy Show" (more specifically, probably an early color episode) --
"Here's Lucy" only started its second season around this time.

Was this a local show, co-produced by these two outlets (in the same DMA)? I don't think they
were co-owned at the time. But since I have never heard of the show (although the title is quite
catchy) I am going to assume it's a local show.
I never knew Rolf Harris of "Tie Me Kangaroo Down,
Sport" fame ever had his own show, even if it was

Canadian. In fact, until just now I hadn't even heard
about him since he recorded that song. Interesting
what you can learn on these boards.
Rolf Harris was much more popular in Canada (especially Vancouver) than in his home country of
Australia. It was a fun show, and he would end the show with a painting that he painted live.
Where was SNL on KING in Seattle?
SNL was off that week on NBC, replaced with the monthly news magazine, "Weekend"...
A-ha! I had completely forgot about "Weekend". SNL has been around so long the whole tv
world around it has changed!
People forget (or choose to block it out, anyway) that for most of the 80's, every other Saturday,
NBC presented the wrestling program "Saturday Night's Main Event".

Re: Retro: North Georgia Saturday, November 9, 1974
ABC had a college football regional-national doubleheader that day: most viewers got Ohio
State-Michigan State at 12:30 ET (this is likely what was shown in the Southeast), with Arizona
State-BYU airing most likely only in the Mountain time zone. The second game was a national
telecast of LSU at Alabama.

Re: Retro: North Georgia Saturday, November 9, 1974
That second game would figure. In a couple of days
I plan to post the North Georgia listings for November
11, 1972, and ABC had LSU-Alabama nationally that
day as well.

Re: Retro: Cumberland, MD Cable TV Listings Friday, February 27, 1959
WTTG channel 5 Washington ( DuMont ) cable 5 Full Time
I can only presume that this description of WTTG's affiliation was from the Cumberland Times,
since by this time it was less than a year that the DuMont Broadcasting Corporation changed its
name to the Metropolitan Broadcasting Corporation, in a bid to distance itself from what was
considered the "failure" of the DuMont Network (it seems its New York sister station WABD's
change in call letters to WNEW-TV on Sept. 7, 1958 was as much influenced by this as it was to
conform the TV station's calls to its radio sister station at 1130 AM). Never mind WTTG also
being an indie by this time.
One other thing: At what point did WRC-TV's Movie 4 debut?

WTOP 9:30 "Playhouse" is "Schlitz Playhouse Of Stars"
(or by that time, "Lux/Schlitz Playhouse")
WSVA 9:30 "Ford Show" sounds like Tennessee
Ernie Ford's show, delayed from
Thursday 9:30. The actual title was
"The Ford Show Starring Tennessee
Ernie Ford," referring to the sponsor,
Ford Motor Company, and not to him.

That was the way it was listed in the Cumberland Times. Guess they can be "forgiven" since
there is quite a bit of distance between Cumberland and DC besides I have grave doubts that the
end of DuMont even made the Cumberland paper. Heck Buddy Holly's death which took place a
few weeks earlier than these listings, even THAT didn't make the front page of the Cumberland
Times.
The New York Times mentioned that crash which also took the lives of the Big Bopper and
Ritchie Valens (and future country "outlaw" Waylon Jennings lost a coin flip over one of the
plane seats, which haunted him for the rest of his life) . . . but it was buried inside the paper.
But back to the topic of WTTG in the Cumberland Times listings: I thought that to be the case,
thanks for confirming.

Why is Cumberland, MD in the Washington market when Pittsburgh not to mention

Altoona/Johnstown is closer? MUCH closer.
Better yet why is Harrisonburg, VA's WSVA-TV even included here yet they were on the local
system FULL TIME but not Johnstown or Altoona. Why?
TV Guide listings as late as 1958-59 were still showing stations ad "DuMont" affiliates, so The
Cumberland paper wasnt the only one to make that mistake
Some later than others; New York's WABD (later WNEW-TV and now WNYW) was listed as
"DuMont" in TV Guide up to mid-1958, after which its designation was changed to "Ind."

So was Cincinnati's WCPO, later listed as an ABC
affiliate only (switched to CBS in 1961 and back
to ABC in 1996).
I'm assuming the DC stations were microwaved into Cumberland, even at this early date--after
all, Cumberland is about 160 miles west of DC. Even today, Cumberland and surrounding area is
in the Washington DMA(now we know why), and the cable system carries all DC area channels
except WRC(including WDCA and WDCW). NBC comes from another Washington DMA NBC
station, WHAG in Hagerstown. The only other commercial channels carried in Cumberland are
WJZ and infomercial WJAL. Even WJAC, only about 60 miles away, is not carried. I think KDKA is
carried in Frostburg, just to the west of Cumberland. I guess local TV never had a chance in
Cumberland since cable got an early foothold. There were two channel allocations for
Cumberland, but they never made it to air.
I am pretty sure both Johnstown's WJAC and Altoona's WTAJ were carried on the Cumberland
cable system as recently as the mid 80's as they were listed as being on the system according to
the Cumberland paper ( odd TV Guide they had at the time..all the pages were in YELLOW !! ).
My guess is that Hagerstown's WHAG sometime in the mid to late 80s had WJAC removed from
the system there since WHAG for many years had other NBC stations ( of course not WRC )
removed from various systems over the years such as thay bitter feud they had in the late 80s
with Baltimore's WBAL involving some system in Pennsylvania ( Waynesboro I think ). WTAJ, have
no idea why they were removed in Cumberland though oddly as recently as five years ago there
were still on the system in Berkeley Springs, WV which is not quite two hours away from DC.
Frostburg I believe still gets KDKA and just to the south of Cumberland in Keyser, WV, at one time
they got KDKA but I don't know if they still do or not.
Even though they had cable TV early, I am still surprised they never did had their own local TV
since afterall Cumberland did get into radio quite early with WTBO-AM way back in the 1920's
and considering the size of the city at the time. Maybe those involved or had an interest had
some kind a "bad vibe" or whatever since the local Cumberland economy went into a severe
nosedive in the 70's and 80's for which Cumberland never really recovered from. With all the
plant and retail closings of that time, chances are local TV wouldn't had recovered from it
anyway. The local radio stations barely did themselves such as the local HOT AC "JIB-100" having
to end up hooking up with..Radio Disney.
Isn't one Maryland county (I think it's Garrett)
in the Pittsburgh DMA? I can't think of one in the
Johnstown/Altoona DMA.
Garrett County, MD is indeed in the Pittsburgh DMA...even though I am pretty sure WHAG still
appears on that system too.
Western Maryland only consists of three counties ( Washington, Allegany and Garrett ) and while
none of them are in the Johnstown-Altoona market, one doesn't have to go far to get there. In
the case with Cumberland, just drive ( or even walk ) a few miles and cross the Pennsylvania
state line and presto......you are inside Johnstown-Altoona DMA market. It really is that close.

Even though his running time decreased over the
years, and was finally replaced by Good Morning
America, Mr. Bill was an institution in the market.
Lots of Bugs Bunny and Popeye cartoons, plus news
and weather (best place to go when it snowed to
find out if school was open or not). I never cared
much for the later Our Gang comedies he showed
(when Spanky and Alfalfa were getting into their
teens, and Robert Blake was on using his real name,
Mickey Gubitosi); Ch. 4 had the ones from the '30s,
which (IMHO) are far superior.
Mr. Bill also had a Saturday show, Mr. Bill And Bumbo;
Bob Caldwell was Bumbo the clown. It was, IIRC, Caldwell's

first job at WLOS (starting around '66) before he starting doing
weather in the late '60s. Both men have retired in the last
couple of years.

A thought just occurred to me. WTVK (WVLT)
ran Jane Wyman twice, at noon and again at 1,
which would be her airtime on the Central time
zone feed (noon in the Central time zone).
I also notice Yours For A Song at 12:30 and
Camouflage at 1:30 on WSOC; these would
be 11:30 and 12:30 Central. I also believe,
even though it isn't listed, that WSOC carried
Alex Dreier's newscast at 1:55. Would WSOC
be able to tap into the Central feed (say through
Chicago) and run live feeds of these shows rather
than tape-delay them? Remember, NBC was down

from 1 to 2.

CBS affiliate, and WOW (now WOWT) a primary NBC affiliate,
since Ch. 3 is CBS and Ch. 6 is NBC today (KETV/7 is ABC).
But for years 3 was NBC and 6, CBS. Anyone know how long?

First off, welcome to the board.
Your question cannot be answered without knowing specifically which show you are referring to
-- it depends on the era; whether it was local, network, or syndicated; and what the specific
recording/archiving practices were in regard to that show. Some programs went out live and
were never recorded in any form; others were routinely filmed, kinescoped, or videotaped, but
the recordings lost, destroyed, wiped, or otherwise unavailable; some shows may have been
saved but are not routinely made available to the general public (at least not without paying a
hefty fee); etc., etc.
Overall chances are slim to none, especially if the show is of the era represented by this retro
schedule (early 50's). Let us know which show is involved here, and we can probably give you
our "expert" opinion as to your chances, and/or maybe steer you in the right direction if it is
something you have a legitimate shot at finding.

Tony asks, "how do i get a copy of a show that my dad was on?"
Your odds might be a little better than you think.
If it was a national network show, you might want to start with YouTube, simply because a lot of
old kinescopes, films and tapes of those programs seem to have wound up there and you might
just find it online by doing a search based on the show title and the rough time frame when you
think it aired. They have some unusual stuff there, including the pilots for 1950s shows of all
genres, so you never know if your dad's appearance might turn up there. You can see the show
itself online, possibly save it to your hard drive, and also contact the person who posted the clip
to see if he or she is making copies available.
If it was part of a popular network series it's possible the show has made it to home VHS tape or
DVD by now, courtesy of the production company that originally sold it to the network (or the
network itself, if they owned the show). Again, a Google search may help. Or you could try
getting in touch with TVLand or Retro Television Network, which may own the rights and carry
the show in question and (I believe) markets episodes of some of the shows for which they've
obtained rights.
If it was a local show, chances of survival are lower even if we're talking about New York or LA
programs. But it can't hurt to ask the station that produced and aired it, and again you could very
well luck out. If the station was a VHF network affiliate or big-signal independent back in the 50s,
you can be certain the station is still in business, even if it may be under different ownership.
Most stations like to save highlights of their efforts if only for their anniversary celebrations
every few years. Stations still own nearly all the rights to shows they originally produced and if
they've taped or kinescoped the program, often are happy to make clips available to the people
who appeared in those shows. Sometimes they charge, but often they'll provide a freebie to the
person who appeared on the program (or his immediate family). Can't hurt to ask.
If the appearance was part of a nightly news program, station news archives can be sketchy until
about 1955 or so (a lot of stations didn't run more than perfunctory newscasts until then); from
that time on, most stations have a fairly good archive of news film they shot although their
cataloguing systems for finding it can vary all over the lot from great to godawful.
Once you get into the 60s it gets a lot better. Past 1975 it's all on more easily accessible ENG
tape.
Good luck.

It is Dennis Wholey. Before he went to PBS, he
had a talk show syndicated (I believe) by Taft
Broadcasting; I remember the show around 1969

on WBRC Birmingham, then owned by Taft. I
prefer to avoid religious issues but I remember
one Saturday night (Wholey aired in Birmingham
after "The Hollywood Palace," when ABC didn't
program the 10:30/9:30 period) he verbally destroyed
Madalyn Murray O'Hair. Next day at church everyone
was talking about it and making a hero out of Wholey.
Somehow it reminds me of the time Timothy Leary,
on "The Dick Cavett Show," said that the Bible (I'm not
sure these are his exact words but they're close enough)
"was written by a bunch of guys on an LSD trip." Cavett
responded, "Dr. Leary, you're full of c***."

Actually, between his stint on WKRC and his 1980s PBS talk show, he hosted a weekday talk show
for WXYZ-TV in Detroit, "AM Detroit", throughout most of the 1970s, before moving to WTVS as
10PM news anchor (and later, "PBS Latenight" from WTVS).

Since I'm not from Detroit I didn't know about
his stint on Channel 7; the next I heard about
him after his Taft show was "PBS Latenight."
One thing he did where he was definitely out
of his element was the short-lived ABC primetime
game show "The Generation Gap" in 1969. Jack
Barry was asked to host the last five shows (ABC
was hoping the ratings would go up enough to
earn the show a daytime slot--didn't happen),
but it was the beginning of Barry's comeback,
since he hadn't been seen on network television
since the scandals. We know what happened:

"The Joker's Wild" put him back on the map in '72,
and he and Dan Enright proceeded to rebuild their
company and make more money than they did in
the '50s.

9:30 New Scooby Doo Movies: "Scooby Doo
Meets Laurel And Hardy" (Larry Harmon
is the voice of Stan; Jim MacGeorge does
Ollie)
Harmon and MacGeorge, of course, reprising their voice roles from the 1966 animated L&H
series, co-produced by Harmon with Hanna-Barbera.
Interestingly, while MacGeorge voiced Oliver Hardy in these cartoons, he went on to portray
Stan Laurel to Chuck McCann's Oliver Hardy in many commercials and live appearances. Actually,
both MacGeorge and McCann could do excellent vocal impersonations of both members of the
famous duo, but their respective physical builds quite obviously destined them to the live action
roles they essayed.

When I was posting this, I seemed to recall Chuck McCann
playing Ollie on occasion; likewise, Jim MacGeorge as Stan.
You're right; they have the physical build for those respective
roles (Chuck, especially, being a rather chunky individual).
I think WTCG ran Georgia Championship Wrestling with a different announcer than Gordon
Solie,who I think came to Georgia in 1973(He was doing Championship Wrestling from
Florida,which He did alongside GCW).
I'm thinking that it might have been Sterling
Brewer, because I believe that around that
time he was commuting back and forth between
Birmingham and Atlanta, doing wrestling shows
in both cities. He is, of course, most closely
identified with the Birmingham show on WBMG
(now WIAT).
Yeah it was Sterling Brewer! Sterling I think did wrestling announcing in Atlanta less than a year
before Gordon Solie was hired by GCW.

I knew he didn't stay with GCW very long. When
Ch. 17 started carrying All South Wrestling (the former
Atlanta Wrestling on Ch. 11, promoted by Ann Gunkel,
widow of wrestler Ray Gunkel), Ed Capral remained as
the announcer (he worked some of the World Wide
Wrestling shows at WRAL Raleigh before Rich Landrum
became permanent announcer).
Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Saturday, July 11, 1964
This week the networks will be covering the Republican
Convention, which nominated Barry Goldwater. Goldwater
scared so many people into thinking he might drop a nuclear
weapon that he lost in a landslide to LBJ in November. But
this convention will be remembered, for our purposes, as the
one where NBC trounced CBS so badly that, for the Democratic
Convention, Roger Mudd and Robert Trout replaced Walter Cronkite,
to no one's approval.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Saturday, July 11, 1964
Did WMAZ not run any NBC programming in color at that time? I know that 1964 was still a tad
early for "full color", but I would have thought NBC affiliates would be running everything that
came down in color, in color.

Question, bp: Was "Byline" at 6:45 p.m. on WSB NBC or local? My guess is that it was probably
local public affairs, probably a 15-minute station commentary (or series of them) on local and/or
state matters, basically an expanded version of what the likes of Jesse Helms did for Raleigh's
WRAL in the 1950s and 1960s. Of course, given WSB owner Cox Broadcasting's
Democratic/liberal proclivities, editorials on that show probably took positive stands on
integration and the social welfare initiatives of the Johnson adminstration--very much in keeping
with its newspaper sister The Atlanta Constitution, and very much NOT in keeping with stations
elsewhere in the South.
If WSB took the progressive side on issues, would it be safe to say that either WAGA or WAII
espoused conservative viewpoints in their editorials? I do think it is safe to say that most if not
all of the Chattanooga stations and Macon's WMAZ probably did, given the viewpoints of the
newspapers in both places (most notoriously the Chattanooga News Free-Press). In this day and
time of punditry 24/7, this sounds a quaint concern, but given the FCC's enforcement of the
Fairness Doctrine at the time, it is an interesting speculation.

Is this the NBC Game Of The Week with Bob Wolff and Joe Garagiola?
Is this a CBS network telecast? Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese?
What, no Yankees? Oh, I guess that started the next season.
Unlike CBS, Fox didn't have to buy the Yankees (or the Red Sox)
just to fawn all over them! Maybe Fox can improve their lousy
perception as a baseball broadcaster if Joe Buck starts saying
"he slud into third." ;D

To try to answer the questions:
1. The few NBC programs WMAZ aired were
not in color if they aired on delay; I seem to
recall "Sing Along With Mitch" airing in pattern
and in color. Don't ask me why.
2. "Byline" was local, and, yes, WSB was one
of the most progressive stations in the South
re civil rights (WFTV Orlando was another).
I wasn't living anywhere near Atlanta in those
days, and wouldn't until the late '60s, but I've
always had the impression Ch. 11 was the most
conservative; in 1968 it dropped ABC's newscast
when Frank Reynolds became anchor and began
doing liberal commentaries. The station didn't
pick up the ABC Evening News again until 1971,
in the Smith/Reasoner era, mostly after Harry
Reasoner chewed out the affiliates that were
still holding out. By that time, there was more

of a liberal/conservative mix; Smith had become
the conservative, while Reasoner tended to be more
liberal. It didn't hurt that ABC's ratings had picked up
since the Smith/Reasoner broadcast began in December
1970.
In 1964 WAGA wasn't carrying Cronkite. I don't
know (again, not living in that part of the country
at the time) if that can be traced to Eric Sevareid's
commentaries, or to the overwhelming dominance of
"The Huntley-Brinkley Report" both in Atlanta and
nationally at the time. As Huntley-Brinkley's ratings
began to drop around 1966 or '67, Cronkite was reinstated
on Ch. 5.
3. The NBC baseball game (Chs. 2 and 3) was called
by Bob Wolff and Joe Garagiola; the CBS game (Chs.
5, 12, and 13) by Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese.
And, although nobody asked, "Wide World Of Sports"
aired on Ch. 11 on delay on Sundays at 3:30; later,
it would air on delay Saturdays at 3:30. In 1968, it
began airing in pattern. A scheduling conflict took
place, however, when ABC moved to WSB. With
"Wide World" on the schedule, Lawrence Welk had
to go; Welk's people sounded out both 5 and 11, but

it was Pat Robertson who picked him up.

I'm suprised that none of the Chattanooga stations carried Professional Wrestling. I thought that
Wrestling was on tv there all the time in the 60s-70s.

Were they not in color because the WMAZ tape machine(s) could not
play back color (unmodified Ampex VR1000 or the like), or were they
"third-play" (as NBC called them) 16mm film prints, on an X-number
of days plus a week or two delay, and WMAZ's film chain was B&W?

Channel 3 in Chattanooga did carry professional wrestling
4:30-6 PM. Later it moved to Ch. 12, with Harry Thornton
as host. Nick Gulas and Roy Welch, based in Nashville, were
the promoters.
Wrestling went from Channel 11 to Channel 17 because Promoter Paul Jones got so pissed off at
Channel 11 seemingly regularly changing the time of the Saturday Atlanta Wrestling show.

I think the last straw was when Ch. 11 moved
wrestling to 10:30 on Saturday nights. For years,
the station had always carried wrestling at either
6 or 6:30, but I have the distinct impression that
by the late '60s ABC was pressuring them to carry
Wide World Of Sports in pattern (5-6:30). On top
of that, around 1968 or '69 11 decided to run movies
from 6:30-8:30 (pre-empting ABC's game shows which
occupied the first hour of Saturday primetime), rejoining
the network when Lawrence Welk came on at 8:30.
At any rate, in the fall of '68, with ABC not programming
10:30 Saturday nights, wrestling moved into that timeslot.
It sounds to me that, because Ted Turner could program
wrestling at 6, that this was more appealing to Paul Jones,
and the change was made in late '71. (It's also said that
Turner had an "in" because he was dating one of the secretaries
in Jones' office.)

A 6AM ET feed of "The CBS Morning News" has existed since it premiered as "The CBS Early
Morning News" in 1982. BTW, did CBS double-feed "Sunrise Semester" at both 6 and 6:30 back
in the day? Some affiliates ran it before 6:30, and I've always wondered if the affiliates that ran it
earlier were a day behind.

Just had to look up Sunrise Semester on Google. Didn't find the answer but I did find out
someone could get college credit from NYU by paying course fees ($25 per credit hour). SCTV
spoofed Sunrise Semester, and well that entry led me to an SCTV site I'll post separately.

Though it wasn't so listed in TV GUIDE, Channel 18 Milwaukee's 4PM telecast of "Super Heroes"
was in color. The station had recently been bought by WKY in Oklahoma and had just installed
color equipment. It was the first step towards "prestige" for a seat-of-the-pants operation that
had been languishing at the bottom of the ratings since 18 signed on as an independent station
in 1959.
Just curious as to whether you'd know which color film chains were bought by what later
became Gaylord Broadcasting for use at WVTV - GE PE-240's (which, along with the live studio
color 4-plumbicon PE-250, were introduced in spring 1966) or RCA TK-27's?

Re: NBC Schedule Wednesday, June 15, 1983
3:00 Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara was a little more than a year away at this point; "Fantasy" was the 3pm offering,
cancelled in October 1983 to make room for "The Match Game-Hollywood Squares" hour. THAT,
in turn, would be replaced by SB in July '84.
My bad.
Oddly while show was on NBC ( WKYC in Cleveland ) Dorothy Fuldheilm worked at WEWS..an
ABC affiliate. Wonder if she promoted WEWS on...well WKYC?
I know in some markets the idea of an employee of theirs making an appearance anywhere
( local or network ) on the competition is "taboo" while in others..it's like who cares. I assume
Cleveland fell into the latter back then.
The irony in that is, The Tonight Show actually aired on WEWS Channel 5 in Cleveland from the
late 1950's to fall 1965 - during the period when Westinghouse owned Channel 3 and used their
own KYW-TV calls on it (the WKYC call letters were derived from the radio station's slogan in the
final years of Group W stewardship, "KY-Cleveland"), and within the first months of NBC being
forced back to the city after the FCC's reversal of the 1956 Group W/NBC license swap involving
Philadelphia and Cleveland stations.

Was this "Rusty Nails"? If it is wasn't he the local TV kid show host who found himself in

"too much religious content" on Rusty's show?
Please correct me if I am wrong but for some reason I remember reading something about this

I thought there was something wrong. The listings
for the Bill Battle show (UT Football Highlights) show
Tennessee playing Ole Miss, not LSU. ABC's listing
was obviously a typo. I have several questions
about these listings; in particular, how Ch. 41 managed
to get an NFL game from NBC at 4 PM.

11 PM Georgia Football Highlights
Yeah, bp, I do too. One by one:
WRCB, 12 Noon and WTCG, 11 p.m.: Grambling must have had a large following among African-
Americans throughout the South, mainly because they were THE premiere black college football
program of their day. Eddie Robinson was the Bear Bryant, if you will, of black college coaches.
This is somewhat analogous to Notre Dame's fan base among American Catholics--a main reason
that school's highlights show was seen nationwide in the old days (and these days, the school
has an exclusive contract with NBC).
CBS affiliates and WCWB, 4 p.m.: Since channel 41's game was different than the CBS feed (and
given WMAZ's dominant position in the market), there is no way that game could be coming
from CBS. Apparently, WCWB managed to persuade NBC to let it carry the West Coast game
(only 1 p.m. Pacific Time), in probable violation of league-network agreements about scheduling.
We have to remember that WCWB at the time was owned by Dothan, Alabama broadcaster
Charles Woods, a sometimes third-party candidate for the presidency and Democratic candidate
for the governorship of Alabama. Because of his political involvement, Woods probably had
lawyers who knew how to get around restrictions, and he likely presented a dubious case to NBC
for permission for his station to air the 4 p.m. game against WMAZ. Given, as mentioned above,
WMAZ's David-and-Goliath relationship to channel 41, could you really blame him?
WTVC, 10 a.m.: This is truly strange. The show was obviously syndicated to WTVC, probably
directly by the family or their managers, but don't you think they would allow the Chattanooga
station to sell its own ads to cover the Augusta commercials? I wonder what people thought was
going on between those gospel numbers--before you make a crack about gospel singers day
jobbing as car salesmen, remember that the gospel tradition is a "sawdust" profession and very
local one, to this day. Most singers of that genre do not make their living by singing, as many
churches where they perform will only permit a "free will" or "love" offering at the end of the
service (think a religious kind of tip jar). Since most of their fans are not particularly wealthy,
they have to scrape by like anybody else.
WQXI, 5:30 a.m.: Although Good Morning America was a couple of years off, it is interesting to
speculate whether this was a live morning show for Sundays. Was this the same show that aired
on channel 11 on weekdays?
WTCG, 7 p.m.-12 Midnight: My, my, my. What could be better on Sunday nights than college
football replays and Alistair Cooke? Wonder what Ted Turner did for promos? "Gridiron
Masterpieces"?--!!!
WETV, 4:30 p.m.: When you consider that Atlanta in 1973 was nowhere near the size it is today,
it seems odd that there would be enough Latin-Americans in the area to justify a public affairs
program. But there it is, just like shows in New York, Miami, Chicago, and L.A. of that day (and
today, on various outlets)
WCWB, 7:30 and 9:30 a.m.: Just in case you didn't wake up early enough to get your dose of
"Green Power" (the Reverend's catchphrase), channel 41 gives you another chance right before
Sunday School. (!!!)
WCWB, 10:30 p.m.: According to Wikipedia, Mike Meatheringham was a defensive tackle who
played for the Georgia Bulldogs in the mid-1950s and got drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in
1958. Since he had probably retired from the pro game some time before then, speculations
abound: a) he was a high school or small college coach who had his highlight show in the time
slot, b) he was host of a general-interest (or football season only) sports talk show, or c) he might
well have gone into the ministry, and this was his weekly televangelist bit. Anybody know about
him?

I know that Talmadge Lewis advertised his automobile
dealership on WJBF Augusta, where the show originated.
Probably WTVC deleted the commercials, but not being
from Chattanooga I can't say for certain.
Although I was at UGA in '73 I wasn't up early enough
to tell you if there was a Sunday edition of "Good Morning
Atlanta" on Ch. 11; given that the station is the first one
I remember having noon newscasts on weekends (starting
in the fall of '72) it wouldn't surprise me if there was. The
daily version aired at 6:30 AM. (Note about weekend newscasts,
Ch. 11 gave up Saturday noon newscasts in the fall of '74 and
Sunday noon newscasts no later than the fall of '75; WSB, OTOH,
still has them.)
I'm going to check to see if Mike Meatheringham is listed anywhere
on the 'net.
I can't find where Mike Meatheringham either coached or became
an evangelist. Sounds like a possible general-football show, not
unlike what Fran Tarkenton did on Ch. 11 Friday nights in the 1979
football season (and ended because he was subbing for Don Meredith
on "Monday Night Football" as well as co-hosting "That's Incredible!",

both on ABC, when 11 moved to NBC in 1980).

Channel 2 still does something like In2ition, only for high schoolers, and it is called High Q. It
used to be on in a good time slot, like 11:30 on Saturday, and then they gradually moved it, and
now it's on when almost nobody gets to see, at 7 on Sunday mornings.
They even used to televise the finals in primetime during sweeps. They don't do that anymore.

I've seen High Q, and recall that it was on
WAGA at one time, on Saturday afternoons.

I assume Glenn Burns will take over as host
when Chuck Dowdle retires (if he hasn't already).

1. That's understandable...ABC had just cancelled it
2. "Starlost" was an El Cheapo sci-fi show from CTV up north that got syndied Stateside:

Observations:
WLVI has been a rival of TV38s so in a way it was competition (emphasis on IN A WAY)
TV38 has aired that SSB Film from the late 1970's till 2004 or thereabouts.

...actually, it was a special. During this period, NBC was running The Weekend Tonight Show,
reruns of Johnny Carson, in this slot and occasionally plugging in a few specials like the Reynolds

Let Me Speak To The Manager is an idea which
originated at WFAA Dallas, where it was later called
Inside Television With Mike Shapiro (president
of Belo Broadcasting in the '70s). The program, which
featured station managers answering viewers' questions
about the station's programming and television in general,
aired under different names in different markets; I remember
one on WBTV Charlotte called Let's Talk TV. So the
Boston show, Ask The Manager, is probably same format,
different title.

The only "ask the manager-" type show I ever witnessed was on a low-power public access TV
station in New York City. The guy would sit in a studio for an hour and a half and take calls and
talk about all the hokey programming the channel would air, as well as broadcasting in general.
So, was channel 3 basically a satellite of channel 2, or vice versa?

Vice versa...3 was the originating station of the Kansas State Network. IIRC 2's more or less
relayed 3 since launch.

I have never seen such a program ( "Ask The Manager" ) on TV in the past other than that
infamous press conference with the GM of the then FOX Martinsburg, WV affiliate WYVN-TV 60
but that was only a one time thing. However I do remember some type of radio show about the
TV business on KMOX Radio out of St. Louis several years ago that ran on the weekends. Sadly I
have since forgot who was the host of this
During one show I can remember the host had interviewed a woman who had lost her teenage
son in the early 80's to mouth & jaw cancer because her son was way into Copenhagen snuff say
4 to 5 cans a WEEK. The boy's death would lead to strict health warnings on such products and
of course would be one chief reason for the 1986 TV-radio ban for smokeless tobacco.
Same program they interviewed Allan Kayser who played "Bubba" on the TV show "Mama's
Family".

13 Ellis Rainsberger (Kansas State)
Ellis Rainsberger is part of the answer to an all-time great football trivia question.
What is the only football team that had as many head coaches as they had wins?
Answer: the USFL's Pittsburgh Maulers, who went 3-15 during their inaugural
(and only) season in 1984. Coach Joe Pendry was fired ten games into the season
and replaced by offensive line coach Rainsberger. (Pendry had been summoned to
meet with owner Ed DeBartolo, Sr but had blown off the meeting!) Rainsberger was
considered the "interim" coach, and DeBartolo then went out and hired future Buffalo
Bills coach Hank Bullough to take over for the 1985 season. But the league then voted
to move to a fall schedule. Not wanting to compete head-to-head with the Pittsburgh
Steelers, DeBartolo folded the team and Bullough never coached a single game.
Was the Wrestling program at 11,the St Louis or Kansas City promotion?

I know for a time Australia actually had a "Channel Zero", which was inserted as sort of an
afterthought at the low
end of the VHF dial. It was such a low frequency that I've heard it was pretty much useless, as it
was prone to all
sorts of atmospheric interference. I don't believe it is used any longer.

Does anyone know the history of Australia's TV ratings? Apparently, they were one of the first (if
not THE first) to provide TV ratings, such a concept that only came to the US 12 years ago.
I would be interested in hearing about that too. Heck, funny how Australia had content ratings
for TV a number of years before the US had such ratings for MOVIES much less TV.
On a similar note several years ago I was listening online to a radio station from Sydney and even
they had some kind of content rating as I can remember the announcer say the following
program was rated for Adult audiences. Wonder if this was just this one station or if there are
ratings for content involving radio as well down under?
At the time when the ratings came to the US TV ( and later with video games ), I do remember
the "rumors" that such ratings will sooner or later be applied to radio as well, but so far that has
yet to happen.

...hmmm. For several years, the 11:00 wrestling on WCIU was Verne Gagne's AWA All-Star
Wrestling, followed at Noon by a half-hour of Bob Luce's version of the Dick "The Bruiser" Afflis'
WWA show from Indianapolis. But here, Luce is on WSNS and there's an hour distance between
the first and second WCIU packages. Know what the deal is here? Also interested to see Seltzer's
Roller Derby on WSNS and Griffiths' Roller Game of the Week on WFLD; just a couple of years
earlier, I recall it being the other way around...
Since bpatrick has a listing for this day from the South, here's one from the North ;D
from Chicago Daily News

WGN 9-Ind
10:00 News
10:30 Movie "The Best Years of Our Lives" (bw)
1:55 News (news was listed for 1:55 and 2:25, my guess is 1:55 was a replay of the 10pm
newscast, with 2:25 as a news update)
I always thought WGN had their news at 9pm. I wonder when WGN moved their news to the
9pm slot. As for the repeat of the news in the overnight hours; I completely forgot about it, until
you listed the TV programs for Chicago. I now remember WGN re-airing the evening news well
into the 80's. Sometime in the late 80's, or early 90's, they stopped re-airing the news. Now I
wonder when in the 70's that WGN went 24 hours. I believe they were the only station that went
24 hours in the 70's, whereas the 3 networks were still signing off into the early 80's. In my
opinion, WGN was a better station when they were Independent than as a network today.
the second PBS station did not even bother to sign-on Sundays? Interesting.
...as I recall, WXXW/20 was merely WTTW/11's in-school instructional programming outlet, so
without any public schools open on Sunday, there was no need for the station to transmit. Plus,
wasn't it around this time that WXXW went dark, with the City Colleges' WYCC taking over
Channel 20 almost ten years later?...
If I'm not mistaken about WXXW, I remember hearing that they were B&W the entire time they
were on the air. City Colleges of Chicago took over the license, and signed on in the 80's, and I
believe that was around the time it went on the air in color. I vaguely remember programming
on WYCC in the 80's, as I normally watched WTTW. In the early days, the only UHF channels I
watched were: WFLD 32 (now 31), WPWR 60 & later 50 (now 51), & WFBN/WGBO 66 when they
were English. I didn't watch WCIU 26 (now 27) until 1995 when WGBO went Spanish. I also
watched WYIN 56 (now 17) with the limited broadcast schedule they had for the first 5-7 years.
Too bad I didn't have a VCR back on November 15th, 1987 to record the first sign on, since the
station wasn't on the air before under any other call letter. This station simply picked up where
the old WCAE left off, when that station (at the time on 50) went off the air in 1983, and Lake
Central High School couldn't afford to keep the station on the air, and sold the license to
Newsweb. At the same time, the commercial & non-commercial status were swapped on the 50
& 56 licenses, since 50 was at the time, non-commercial (could transmit from Chicago) & 56 was
at the time, commercial (60 on the Sears Tower & 55 was transmitting from Pleasant Prairie WI
prevented 56 from locating to Chicago).
...I watched WYCC when I lived in Kenosha from '84 into '85; I recall they had a Wednesday
night/Sunday afternoon series of classic public-domain films (Diabolique, Mister Arkadin, The
Stranger, The Gold Rush, Grand Illusion, La Strada and It's a Wonderful Life were the titles I best
recall as part of the series), and after the films ended each Wednesday night there was a phone-
in discussion about them on WNIB Radio hosted by a City College professor of mass media...

Re: Retro:Cleveland Wed/Thurs. December 14-15, 1949
I'm still curious as to why WXEL woud apparently
choose to be a fulltime DuMont affiliate rather than
take either ABC or CBS and run DuMont on a secondary
basis, epecially when I think Atlanta was more typical
of three-station markets in the early days. After Atlanta
got its third station in 1951, the affiliate/network arrangement
looked like this:
2 WSB (NBC)
5 WAGA (CBS/DuMont)
8 WLTV (ABC) (this is later 11 WXIA)
Actually, if you go back through the Atlanta listings
from roughly 1951-55, when DuMont began shutting down,
you'll find about as many DuMont shows on what became
Ch. 11 as there were on 5, yet DuMont always considered
5 to be its Atlanta affiliate (coincidentally, 5 is now a Fox
o&o, and many of you have argued that Fox is DuMont
with a different name).

So to get back to the point: why couldn't WXEL have been
either ABC/DuMont or CBS/DuMont? Or was DuMont's affiliation
offer too good to pass up?

BPatrick:
Interesting questions..A lot of what happened in Cleveland (and probably other
cities) as far as TV sign-ons had at least two factors to consider:
1. Timing
2. Previous history in radio..
WEWS Channel 5 was first in Cleveland (and Ohio) to begin broadcasting in mid-December
1947..Except for NBC, they had their pick of Networks..and early on, they were primary CBS,
with secondary ABC and Dumont, though it was mid-late 1948 before ABC did much with TV..I do
have schedules from earlier in 1949 that have WEWS with CBS, ABC and Dumont shows
WNBK-4, beginning in October 1948, was NBC owned and operated, with a connection to NBC-
owned WTAM-1100
WXEL-9 wasnt going to get CBS as primary affiliate..WEWS was still carrying some ABC
shows..Dumont was all that there was left..Though I think WXEL owner Empire Coil (Herbert
Mayer) had some connection with DuMont through some of his other stations..Am not sure,
though..
Now, by 1952-53 or so, WXEL and WEWS were carrying roughly the same number of CBS
shows. WXEL primarily carried CBS soaps between 1-4 PM along with occasional prime
time CBS series, though they were still Dumont/ABC..
By April 1955, however, New WXEL owner Storer Broadcasting took the CBS affiliation
from WEWS..WEWS became "Stuck" with ABC/Dumont..Dumont was pretty much history by this
time though Channel 5 carried the last few weeks of "Captain Video"
They may have gone with Dumont -- because Dumont back then would pay for the station's
start-up equipment, if they affiliated with the network.
I think I read that as well..Though as I said earlier, WXEL may not have had much of a choice at
the time..
Interesting related story:WXEL-TV Salesman John Kinsella left WXEL to become Sales Manager of
KCTY- Channel 25 Kansas City, a DuMont affiliate with only WDAF-4 as competition..By the end of
1953, Channels 5 and 9 appeared..In December 1953 Herb Mayer sold KCTY to DuMont which
outfitted the station with all new equipment determined to make a success of it..Only to shut
down 2 months later in February 1954..

Judging by what 18 airs at 11:30 AM, I'll take a guess and say "PM Magazine" at 6:30 PM.

18-47 NBA: Milwaukee-Boston
I believe this was the second year that WMSN carried Milwaukee Bucks games. They and the
Brewers telecasts (since they were on WVTV at this time) pretty much came as packaged deal,
albeit the two teams never had common ownership. Prior to WMSN, WKOW carried the Bucks
and Brewers in Madison. WQRF in Rockford also carried selected Bucks and Brewers games (as
well as Chicago Bulls and White Sox games from WFLD), although not on this night.

Bringing it back to my previous post in this thread... You mean to tell me that there was a station
that actually ran "PM Magazine" only in the "AM"?

Bringing it back to my previous post in this thread... You mean to tell me that there was a station
that actually ran "PM Magazine" only in the "AM"?
...probably to burn off the contract. WISN-TV/12 originally had the Milwaukee PM Magazine
franchise but dropped it by then...
"The Mother of All TV Listings"--part 1
"The Mother of All Television Listings"--back in the 1960s through the 1980s, the Louisville
Courier-Journal's statewide edition carried listings not only for Louisville stations, but for every
TV signal that entered the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Every single state (seven in all) that
borders Kentucky had a station carried in the listings. Some 33 stations appeared daily on one
page. At the time, that was probably a record for any U.S. newspaper, and certainly far more
than ever appeared in any one edition of TV Guide.
Here is part one, containing listings for the Louisville area for Friday, August 9, 1974, the day
President Richard Nixon resigned his office, with Gerald Ford succeeding him. The listings are
those programs that were originally scheduled to air; most of the daytime, from about 7 a.m. to
11:30 a.m. was preempted to broadcast the ceremonies from the White House of Nixon's
farewell address and Ford's swearing into office. Later in the day, NBC carried coverage of
Nixon's arrival in California via Air Force One at 3 p.m. ET, and broadcast a one-hour recap of the
week's traumatic activities in a news special entitled "Five Days in August," at 10 p.m. ET. (INFO:
Vanderbilt TV News Archive; http://tvnews.vanderbilt.edu)
Also, it should be remembered that while most of the nation observed an extended Daylight
Savings Time that began back in January, Kentucky opted out of this provision. Thus, those areas
normally in the Eastern Time Zone in effect observed Central Time, and it was the same time in
the entire state. Thus, all Kentucky stations are listed in "slow" time (as it was called in Indiana
for many years).

IIRC, WKYH replayed an hour of Saturday morning network cartoons each day.
I've always been curious about "Light In The Hills" on Ch. 57.
I know it was a religious program of some sort, and if you go
to WYMT's website, it talks about the early WKYH years and

says that Southern gospel and bluegrass shows were a big
part of the schedule in those days. I wouldn't be surprised
if this was Southern gospel and maybe (since it's only 30
minutes) a brief inspirational message. Anybody know?
On Saturdays, Ch. 57 had an hour of locally-produced
(what I assume to be) country and bluegrass called
"Jamboree."

Willis's show at 1 PM was a women's show, one of the
last of its kind (Nancy Welch on WSPA Spartanburg, SC
lasted well into the '80s).

This one is truly fascinating, thanks!! Yes, I wonder whether channels 11 and 13 would have
picked up someone else's programming (if that were even possible back then) or if they just
signed off out of respect. It would be very interesting to learn how each channel handled the
tragedy - just as TV coverage on 9/11 makes for an interesting discussion.
I wonder if any of the network stations stayed on all night for any late breaking developments,
obviously we know of the shooting of oswald, but what of meetings at the white house and so
forth?
All of the networks stayed on from the minute of Kennedy's assassination to the funeral which
meant that all shows were affected by this from Friday night to when Kennedy was buried. I'm
sure that some of the meetings were shown when possible.
I guess I should be more specific, I mean the local Dallas affiliates. From having watched the NBC
coverage of that day, I know that Frank McGee signed off NBC at approximately 1 AM eastern
time.

I have for many years wondered what KTVT-11 did, and never have gotten an informed answer.
There is an intriguing photo in one of the dozens of JFK books (I forget which), showing a news
conference at Parkland, and clearly visible in the pic is a KTVT studio camera! So, I wonder if they
were covering some of the events (it doesn't appear that they had much of a news operation
apart from the two daily 15-minute newscasts, which were probably just "rip and read") or if
they were loaning equipment and techs to help the affiliates feed video to the networks?
KERA-13, broadcasting instructional programming, would probably have either signed off or
simply maintained their schedule for awhile -- much as Nickelodeon stayed with their own
school-age programs during 9/11 so as not to unduly alarm any kids who were watching.

Not exactly true -- I believe the only night that the networks actually broadcast all night was the
night that JFK's body was lying in state, because even in the wee hours of the morning throngs of
mourners were filing through.
I think the question is, "on those nights when the network signed off for a few hours, did the
local affiliates in DFW do any local coverage while the network was dark?" I would imagine the
answer is no, although perhaps WFAA-8 might have gone all night.

And that is why CBS had an immediate advantage over the other networks in the initial coverage.
CBS had already set up a circuit to feed KRLD coverage of the speech to New York, where they
could videotape it and possibly use some clips on the evening news that night. So, as soon as
Uncle Walter went on the air, within the first 20 seconds he was able to immediately cut to the
Trade Mart where Eddie Barker was reporting on-air. By contrast, as anyone who has seen the
A&E special "JFK: As It Happened" knows, NBC had to set up a feed from Dallas (from WBAP) "on
the fly" in a matter of minutes -- not an easy task with the technology of the era -- and the first
WBAP reports were marred by technical problems.

I have seen the As The World Turns episode from that date. Don Hastings I belived said in an
interview once that he was on-screen with the late Henderson Forsythe when CBS News cut into
the show, which is partially true but the first break-in occurred during a scene where Nancy and
Pa Hughes(Chris' father) were discussing about Lisa coming over for Thanksgiving then cut to a
black slide that said "CBS News Bulletin" with Cronkite doing a voice-over about JFK's shooting.
After repeating the annoucement, then cut to commercials, including a promo for that night's
Route 66 episode. The CBS News Bulletin slide then came back on for a few minutes with
Cronkite updating the situation, then cut back to the show with Bob and Dan dicussing their
current lives over lunch, finally the cameras were ready and Cronkite appeared on-screen.
As The World Turns continued filming live through all the interruptions. They didn't realize that
they had been cut into until the commercial break, when organist Charles Paul found out about
the shooting and told Eileen Fulton.

Since Channel 8 had a movie scheduled at
12:15 AM Saturday, it wouldn't surprise me
if they stayed with assassination coverage
at least until the time the movie would have
ended (around 2 AM, I suppose). I can
guarantee you that if this had happened when
Marty Haag was news director in the '70s,
Channel 8 would have gone with round-the-clock
coverage.
Unfortunately I didn't move to Dallas until 1976
and I frequently kick myself for never going to
the public library and reading the local newspaper
coverage; there just might have been something
about how each station covered the story. So
anything I say is simply conjecture.
I do know that the poster who mentioned that
the only night the networks stayed on all night
was Sunday, when JFK's body was lying in state
in the Capitol rotunda, is correct.

Just a minor correction...Bob Hughes was talking David Stewart, not Dan Stewart, who was a
child at the time. My apologies to World Turns fans!

I would love to see a copy of that -- all I've seen is the highly truncated and edited clips that
opened the CBS "Four Days in November" special. Where did you get it, and in what format?
(Kinescoped? Videotaped?) Maybe you could post at least part of that to YouTube?
As The World Turns continued filming live through all the interruptions. They didn't realize that
they had been cut into until the commercial break, when organist Charles Paul found out about
the shooting and told Eileen Fulton.
Which was not surprising (that they didn't tell the ATWT actors and let them continue to do the
show between bulletins) -- the news had just broken, information and details were coming in
slowly, and it would be a while before the studio cameras were sufficiently warmed up to go on
the air with full video and audio. The alternative, I suppose, would have been to just keep the
"Bulletin" slide up and keep repeating what meager details they had over and over -- that might
have been better (and more respectful). I imagine there were more than a few households that
day who were tuned to CBS, someone saw the first bulletin, rushed to tell other family members,
then by the time they get back to the TV they're shilling coffee or denture cream or something.

Good thing you corrected yourself so quickly -- those soap fanatics are a prickly bunch and take
their interest VERRRY seriously!! ;D
The Museum of Broadcast Communications site has a lot of info on the network end of things.
There are links to WBAP and WFAA and others, but they have never worked for me. There's got
to be some people out there that could fill in the info about 11 and 13, if they could be directed
to this page. I was in 4th grade in Dallas, and think we watched channel 4 mostly. Thanks
bpatrick, you always bring something interesting.

The WFAA clip was part of a KERA special, JFK: Breaking the News, which chronicles Dallas TV
and Radio coverage of the assassination.
KERA occasionally re-runs that special, which I believe was produced in 2005. I think they also
sell DVDs of it.
I found it fascinating on the A&E "As It Happened" the network was black and white but the feed
from WBAP was color.
Channel 5 had the capability of doing local programs in color, as you'll
see in the listings. NBC's coverage was in black and white.
WBAP was one of the first local stations to use color on their local programming, back in the
mid-50's. NBC had for some time been colorcasting some variety shows, game shows, filmed
series, etc. in color (much more at that point than either CBS or ABC) but in '63 they were still
using B&W for their news and public affairs type stuff.
Concerning WBAP in color, don't you know Amon Carter was grinning big that day. WBAP was
actually the second station in the nation to get color equipment.
http://www.novia.net/~ereitan/PION_6m.htm. They were probably still using the TK-40's on that
day.
As I said, I noticed that watching the "As It Happens". My point was sending the color signal feed
back to NYC. Obviously it made it to the VTR in color with lots of noise but did it go back out the
network in color?
That's a good question, and one I never considered. IANAT (I am not a techie), but was it not the
practice back in the day to delete or suppress the colorburst signal when transmitting in B&W?
Since NBC in NYC was using B&W equipment, I would assume that the signal that went out over
the network did not carry color information, and the brief WBAP segments would have shown
up as B&W to the viewer. Am I correct, or way off base? (Again, IANAT.....)
If correct, then I wonder why WBAP changed to B&W after the 2nd or 3rd switch to Dallas? I had
always assumed that perhaps someone at NBC asked them to do so, perhaps figuring that the
picture going from B&W to color to B&W again and again might cause color TV owners to think
something was wrong with their sets. But that is moot if the color information never made it out
of 30 Rock to begin with.

It might have been the bandwidth issue. The erratic color was either the shortcoming of the VTR
or the ATT line. If it was the later then New York asked WBAP to kill the color burst for a
consistent picture.
8:30 Twilight Zone
WFAA-TV Ch. 8 (ABC)
KTVT Ch. 11 (Ind.)
...the "Twilight Zone" episode was "Night Call," the one in which the elderly and disabled woman
(Gladys Cooper) recieves strange telephone calls in the middle of the night. It was postponed
and run instead on February 7, 1964, thus it would have been the episode The Beatles would
have been able to tune in the evening of the day they arrived in New York for their first "Ed
Sullivan Show" broadcast (THE BEATLES: THE FIRST U.S. VISIT shows them watching the "CBS
Evening News" and "The Huntley-Brinkley Report"). The "Jack Paar Program" installment was the
one on which the guests were Miss Miller, Liberace and Cassius Clay, postponed for broadcast
until the following week; the discussion with Clay in which he recites his poetry about fighting
then-champion Sonny Liston while Liberace accompanies him on piano is included in the JACK
PAAR COLLECTION 3-DVD set. The "local reporter" who interrupted Julie Benell's WFAA 12:30
show was in fact Jay Watson, WFAA-TV's program director and an eyewitness to the
assassination, as WFAA's studios were only a couple of blocks away from Dealey Plaza. I don't
know to what extent KTVT had coverage, but when CBS bought the station a few years back,
they went through the old films and found one where Jack Ruby was seen attending a Saturday
press briefing by the Dallas Police Department...

When I started at Channel 4 a lot of the old timers that worked that weekend were still there.
Heard a lot of interesting stories.
Leigh Webb, the director at the truck at the Trade Mart told me about standing on the steps
outside the truck with an engineer having a last smoke with one of the engineers before the
show started. As they stood there, they saw the motorcade tear by them on Stemmons and ran
inside and let Eddie Barker know.
Ken Hanson, in the art dept. was working Sunday morning when a friend of his dropped by. He
had bought a second hand 16mm film camera and was going to try and pick up some extra cash
by shooting Oswald's transfer from the jail. The only problem was, he didn't know how to
operate the camera. Ken showed him, and a little while after Oswald was shot, the guy showed
up at the station with the only 16mm footage of the shooting. One of the engineers modified a
film chain projector so they could crank the film through a frame at a time. One of the first slow
motion replays on tv.
I would love to see a copy of that -- all I've seen is the highly truncated and edited clips that
opened the CBS "Four Days in November" special. Where did you get it, and in what format?
(Kinescoped? Videotaped?) Maybe you could post at least part of that to YouTube?
Unfortunately I don't have a copy, I saw it back on the World of Soap Themes(www.wost.org)
back before they went pay and before they went largely inactive. But I believe copies of it exist in
the Museum of Broadcasting, and I'm sure others have copies of it as well, so I wouldn't be
surprised if it does indeed end up of YouTube or if it already hasn't.
Yeah, I just checked that site, and it looks like they are going to shut down in August 2009
(interesting that they are giving almost two years notice!) and they are not accepting new
members (but will allow current members to renew). A shame, as I almost might have parted
with $25 to have that video.

I've been a member at WoST for quite a while, and believe me, many of us tried and tried to
convince Brian (the webmaster there) to reconsider, but apparently he'd had it with people
copying from his site. He found out several YouTube files had a WoST logo in the corner, and for a
while he would tell YouTube what was going on. Then others would have same/similar video
samples on YT without the WoST logo later on. Plus Brian was getting grief right and left because
he was charging for membership; he had partnered with a techie firm that had quite a server
availability. This allowed Brian to go beyond his initial audio themes listings into video opens and
full eps. Apparently it was quite the pretty penny to do this. Brian even listed expenses and
balances right on the site so he would show full disclosure of donated funds and their eventual
use. In June, he'd gone as far as considering pulling the plug on the site's message board, which
he eventually did after a lengthy thread went ugly and over-the-top (I didn't read it, but I think it
had to do with agreeing or disagreeing about Rosie's actions on The View, I think). I've tried
twice to email Brian, but I've heard nothing back. Apparently whatever he's doing now offline
takes up all his time. The thing about August 2009 is that the date would mark the 10th
anniversary of the site, and the $$ in the site's fund will cover expenses and bills related to
bandwidth and storage up until then. As for the content, I've never heard exactly what Brian
plans to do with it. It's sad to see it just disappear. Hopefully a Paley Center/MBC/university
archive-type of place will end up the owner.
WoST did a special 50th Anniversary tribute to As the World Turns and Edge of Night last year,
maybe the 11-22-1963 ep is in that section.

A poster on YouTube has put up the first two hours of ABC's coverage of the events in Dallas on
Nov. 22, 1963. On the first clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDQrp3sllHo
the individual claimed that WABC-TV in New York was running a repeat of Father Knows Best
between 1:30 and 2 P.M. NYT (the episode "Man About Town," original air date Oct. 3, 1956).
However, if the New York-Metro TV Guide for Nov. 16-22, 1963 is of any indication, WABC
would've interrupted a repeat of The Ann Sothern Show at 1:42 and again at 1:50 for bulletins. A
few other ABC O&O's and affiliates likewise had different programs that would've been
interrupted:
- WFIL (WPVI) Philadelphia: Who Do You Trust?
- WNHC (WTNH) New Haven: The Gale Storm Show

- WBKB (WLS) Chicago: December Bride (starting time: 12:30 P.M. Chicago time)
The other factor that convinces me that these tapes hadn't originated from WABC was the
obvious 5 kHz telco sound. And massive time base / sync issues when switching from one source
to the other.
The questions are thus:
- At what time would WABC have actually aired Father Knows Best reruns on that day?
- Which stations (presumably on the West Coast) would've actually broken in to FKB to report on
the shooting in Dallas? My money's on either KABC-TV in Los Angeles or KGO-TV in San Francisco
(the shooting would've been 10:30 A.M. Pacific time). Or perhaps one of the Mountain states?
I've only had a chance to look (very briefly, and not in whole) at Part 1, and I didn't see any local
ID or other material during the break that would indicate WABC-TV as the source. Note,
however, that there are at least a couple of obvious points where you can see the roll/glitch of a
VCR that's been stopped and then restarted (possibly a VHS-ish artifact, and not something from
the original source), so whoever was dubbing this may well have edited out the local break. I
assume the "ABC-TV Closed Circuit NOT FOR BROADCAST" slide briefly seen was a standard
placeholder that would run on the network feed when there was no programming; probably the
station that this is sourced from cut to network a few seconds early, before the second bulletin
on this clip was actually ready to go. (Note, BTW, that this clip does NOT begin with the first ABC
break-in -- the first bulletin seen on the clip is presenting "more details," updating at least one
previous bulletin.)

[i]Father Knows Best[i] was on ABC at 12:30 (ET)/11:30 (CT).
WABC, according to the New York Metro edition of TV Guide,
was showing Ann Sothern when the first reports of the shooting
in Dallas occurred; the episode that day involved Katy O'Connor's
giving a kid a puppy. She came on at 1:30 in New York.
(Remember from my original posting that "FKB" aired in Dallas
in pattern at 11:30, and that Julie Benell's local program was on
WFAA at 12:30, during which program director Jay Watson dashed
breathlessly into the studio to announce the shooting.)
On the West Coast, where it was 10:30 AM, the stations would
have been into local programming, since ABC didn't come up
until 11 AM, and in those days the Pacific time zone followed
the Eastern in the daytime (CBS and NBC followed Central, and
if ABC had done the same, "Seven Keys" would have been interrupted).
So KABC and KGO could have broken in with their own people,
then waited for the live network break-in. At any rate, "FKB"
would not have aired that day in Los Angeles or San Francisco.
I would agree that if "FKB" was interrupted anywhere, it would
have been in the Mountain time zone, assuming the affiliates
delayed it an hour to 11:30 (MT).
Thought so, about the Mountain time zone. So, among major market stations in that zone, that'd
probably leave KTVK in Phoenix, AZ; KCPX (now KTVX) in Salt Lake City, UT; or KLZ (now KMGH) in
Denver, CO, as being possible sources.

Regardless of the source, it's great to have this stuff available -- as I've mentioned in older JFK
threads, I've been looking for the ABC coverage for a long, long time! (It should also have a large
chunk of the WFAA coverage as well, since they fed the network for long stretches that day.) Of
course, it would have to come to my attention on a day when I am unusually busy...so far, I've
only grabbed peeks at bits and pieces of the footage.
(Suggestion to all: grab it while you can before some ABC lawyer DMCA's it into oblivion...)

May I add something to this thread? Those "Father Knows Best" shows ABC-TV aired in those
days were shown at 12:30 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. I watched that show for many years at
that time - sometimes while eating lunch. (In fact, almost all of the "Father Knows Best" shows I
saw were in those re-runs on weekday afternoons on ABC rather than when the show was in
primetime years before). This particular program must have been showing in another time zone
to have been interupted for the JFK bulletins because those began between 1:30 P.M. - 2:00 P.M.
Eastern Time that day. As such, New York's affiliate and all of those ABC stations in the Eastern
Time Zone would already have aired the "Father Knows Best" program that day. Since stations in
the Central Time Zone picked up network shows at the same time as those in the Eastern Time
even though it was an hour earlier there, my guess is the station from which this video came
may have been in Mountain Time Zone. Just a thought.

That's a possibility; I've placed retro schedules
from Southeast Texas where the ABC stations
followed Eastern time in 1962. And since there
were dual ABC/NBC affiliates in those days, a
station could have been airing "Truth Or Consequences"
(NBC) at 12:30 and "Father Knows Best" (ABC) at 1:30.
For the record, here is the usual ABC daytime lineup
in the fall of '63 (listed Eastern/Central):
11 AM/10 AM Price Is Right
11:30/10:30 Seven Keys

12 N/11 AM Tennessee Ernie Ford Show
12:30/11:30 Father Knows Best
1 PM/12 N General Hospital
1:30/12:30 (Local--this becomes crucial, as some
stations like WFAA were into local
programming, some like WABC were
showing a syndicated rerun, and some
like Raleigh's WRAL were showing a delayed
ABC show--in this case, "Queen For A Day.")
2:30/1:30 Day In Court
2:55/1:55 ABC News
3 PM/2 PM Queen For A Day
3:30/2:30 Who Do You Trust?
4 PM/3 PM Trailmaster ("Wagon Train" reruns, to 5/4)

Since I don't have the Dallas/Ft. Worth schedules for Nov. 21,
I can only guess at some of the pre-emptions on Nov. 22. I

would guess that Ch. 4 pre-empted the "CBS Morning News With
Mike Wallace" and Ch. 5 pre-empted "Say When!" for JFK's breakfast
speech in Ft. Worth, Ch. 8 pre-empted Tennessee Ernie for JFK's
arrival at Love Field, and Ch. 4 would have pre-empted "Password"
had JFK made his speech at the Trade Mart (don't know if Julie Benell
stayed on until 1:30 or something else was on Ch. 8 at 1 PM).
And I know somebody's going to bring it up, so I should explain why
WRAL delayed "Queen For A Day." Raleigh/Durham was a two-station
market: WRAL (ABC, some NBC) and WTVD (CBS/NBC). WRAL's
schedule from 10 AM in the fall of '63 looked like this:
10 AM Time Out (local game show)
10:30 Word For Word (NBC)
11 AM Price Is Right (ABC)
11:30 Femme Fare (local women's show)
12 N Tennessee Ernie Ford (ABC)
12:30 Father Knows Best (ABC)
1 PM General Hospital (ABC)
1:30 Queen For A Day (ABC, delay from 3 PM)
2 PM Seven Keys (ABC, delay from 11:30 AM,
apparently to keep it near its old timeslot
of 2:30)
2:30 The Doctors (NBC) (pre-empts "Day In Court")
3 PM Loretta Young (NBC)

3:30 Who Do You Trust? (ABC)
4 PM ABC News (delay from 2:55)
4:05 Captain Five (local kids' show)
5 PM Trailmaster (ABC, delay from 4 PM)
WTVD had "As The World Turns"/"Password"/"Art
Linkletter's House Party" from 1:30-3 and would have
had not only the first bulletin on the shooting but
Cronkite's classic on-air announcement of JFK's death.

Just a silly thought, but has anyone tried to contact the guy who posted those clips on YouTube
to ask what the source station was? It's a long shot -- he may not want to answer, or he may not
even know (he could well have gotten that footage second- or third- or fourth-hand on the
trading circuit...).
Of course, it's probably more fun to just speculate like this (I love a mystery...)

Since we are talking ABC, in Denver ( 1963 ) that would be KBTV ( later KUSA ) channel 9. It
would be another 32 years before Denver's channel 7 ( KMGH/KLZ ) would join the ABC family.
WFAA Dallas coverage of JFK's assasination...that is on archive.org.

I doubt the footage originated from the Mountain time zone, as
I'm pretty confident the Mountain zone stations did not do any
in-pattern delays for daytime in 1963, but rather aired most if
not all shows live off of the Eastern feed--and this for all three
of the networks.
The reason? Not enough tape machines. In checking the 1964
Broadcasting Yearbook (thanks again to the Old Gringo!), the
stations in Phoenix, Denver and Salt Lake reported having either
two or three tape machines. You need at least four VTRs to
effectively do a one-hour delay for a continuous period of several
hours--assuming you do record a backup (and I doubt a station
would risk not doing a backup unless it was for a one-week delay
or similar).
Father Knows Best would very likely have aired at 10:30am in
the Mountain time zone and the bulletins/pre-emptions did not begin
until the 11:30am MT half-hour. At that time, ABC affils were, for
the most part, still the "also rans" and would be less inclined to
flip stuff around during daytime.
Note that I said if "FKB" had been delayed it
would have been in the Mountain time zone. As
I recall, Mountain stations usually carried daytime
shows at the same time as in the Eastern and
Central time zones; and there were some (such as
in Denver) that did the same thing at night, mostly

on the weekends. So "FKB" probably did air at 10:30
AM (MT), followed by "General Hospital" at 11, then
local programming until "Day In Court" at 12:30. But
ABC probably notified all of its affiliates that what we
now call a "special report" was coming (as it did the
day Pope John Paul II was shot), and once the network
was up and in place, the report aired.
I still believe the Pacific stations were into local programming,
since 1:30 PM (ET) is 10:30 AM (PT), when Kennedy was shot.

Then the question becomes this: What would have been Washington, DC station WMAL's (now
WJLA) schedule up to 1:30 P.M.? They were another major ABC affiliate.

For some reason I doubt that would happen unlike with the yanking a few years back of ABC's
9/11 coverage.,,at least with this. Just about everyone on the ABC coverage has since passed on
and it wouldn't surprise me if the current staff at ABC today doesn't even remembers Ron
Cochran. With 9/11 OTOH...except for Peter Jennings..all the anchors and reporters are still
alive...and a good many of them I am sure have egos.

After watching part one of the coverage on You Tube, I have this
piece of speculation:
It seems to be a recording of the network line from somewhere

downline, and it probably was from the 1:30-2pm ET period.
Obvious 5 kHz Telco line audio (as previously noted), the audio
promo over credits, the ABC system cue promo, then the "closed
circuit" slide during what would normally be :63 or :73 of black.
Since this picks up with--as noted--not earlier than the second
bulletin, it may have been an affiliate somewhere that decided
to "roll tape" after seeing and airing the first interrupt.
Since ABC was local from 1:30-2:30, could this have been a
refeed of the Father Knows Best episode from 12:30? Perhaps
ABC El Lay needed it fed again for the left coast feed due to
VTR problems? (The unfolding events in Dallas made all this a
moot point of course.)
If only we knew what ABC was scheduled to send down the net
from 2-2:30 ET during the second half of "station time."

I've only watched through part 4 of the ABC coverage so far (I'm on a lousy connection, so I tend
to just download stuff like this when I'm away from the computer, then view it later), and I find
three things of interest:
-- I did not know that ABC picked up and used some of Eddie Barker's live reporting from the
Trade Mart from CBS affiliate KRLD-TV. I wonder if and how that was authorized by KRLD and/or
CBS, or for that matter whether it was formally authorized at all. (ABC may have simply taken in
upon themselves to grab the first thing they saw that might provide more information, and as
the old saying goes, "it is easier to obtain forgiveness than permission." Just ask Richard Nixon...)
-- It is obvious that Cochran's talkback/IFB audio can be heard through a lot of the broadcast,
sometimes clearly enough to be understood. At first, I thought perhaps his mike was picking it
up, particularly when he had his headset down around his neck, but you could also hear it pretty
strongly even when his headset was on. Unless that was a very sensitive mike (or Cochran had a
hearing problem and the thing was cranked to "11"), is it possible that the other audio was
crosstalk somewhere in the audio feed itself?
-- Finally, maybe it's just me, but with Ron Cochran's vocal qualities and inflections, doesn't he
sound a bit like Robert Benchley? ;D

Also odd that even as Cochran was reporting the various unofficial reports of JFK's death (the
rumors at the Trade Mart, the comments by the priests, etc.) and cautioning viewers that
nothing was as yet confirmed, nevertheless they kept sticking up a graphic of JFK with "1917-
1963" on it.
BTW, at the first network switch to WFAA, does Jay Watson actually misstate the calls of his own
station as "WFA-TV," or does he just slur over it so quickly that the two "A's" sort of merge?
I went back and watched the first ABC/JFK clip...did anyone noticed that promo that said "the
new..ABC" ?? What was up with that? The only thing I can think of is that the "new ABC" was
nothing more than that new logo which of course ABC still uses today.
"The New ABC" was the branding/slogan the network used beginning with their Fall 1963
premieres. Remember, traditionally the Big Three came up with a new catchphrase/slogan each
Fall when the new crop of shows debuted, and use of the phrase would persist well into the New
Year.
These are (per Wikipedia) the annual new slogans used by ABC for 1963-69:
* 1963: "The New ABC"
* 1964: "Wild World of Entertainment" (Or is that supposed to be "Wide?")
* 1965: "Turn on the Excitement!"
* 1966: "7 Nights To Remember"
* 1967: "A Very Special Season"
* 1968: "Find Your Own Thing!" (Gawd, how "sixties" can you get?)
* 1969: "Meet Us in September"

The ABC 9/11 coverage, as well as that of several other networks, is currently available at the

LOL...maybe so but its still much better than "ABC..start here". ;D
The ABC logo as we know it has been around
since the fall of 1962. "Wide World Of Entertainment"
was the '64 slogan (also the name of ABC's late-night
show in the mid-'70s).
And does anyone remember the tone that accompanied
"The New ABC"? It went something like, "de de do doot
DEEEEEE." I remember that when WGHP High Point, NC,
signed on in October 1963 they bought time on sister
radio station WKIX Raleigh and used that tone at the
end of their promos.
You can hear it on Part 1 of that ABC JFK coverage, right after the end of FKB. Unfortunately, it's
all wombejawed because it comes right at one of those points where the tape goes flukey. (Did
they even have time base correction in those days? Was there always such a massive, several
seconds long loss of sync every time the source feeding a VTR was changed?)

I watched most of the ABC coverage last night -- fascinating stuff. We've seen the CBS and NBC
coverage time and again, but to see how the "third network" handled things...Well, now we
know why it may've taken so long for this tape to surface. Calling it a "train wreck" early on is
maybe harsh, but -- boy -- to have a stagehand in the shot for much of your coverage -- while
they tried to set up a curtain as a backdrop, and set the lights -- in their newsroom -- is bad. And
to not be able to do something as basic as get a phone line up on the air--? But I think WFAA's
coverage, with the eyewitness interviews on videotape -- and putting their chief photog on the
air, to describe the film fresh out of the processor -- was outstanding, and NBC had no
innovation like that in their earliest hours. It's also neat to see the WFAA anchor directing the
news coverage from on-camera -- when he gave that one guy directiosn to go back to the
newsroom, and wait for film crews to come back, etc.
Think it's possible that all this tape archive came from WFAA?
I've read that this event (and the network's reaction to it) was the impetus for building ABC
News into what it is now -- a year later, they would hire Peter Jennings -- a short while after that,
Ted Koppel and Sam Donaldson came on board.
I heard a phoner from Bob Walker in the coverage -- I remember when he was an anchor on ABC
radio in the eighties.

Keep in mind that there was nothing even close to our modern-day 24/7 news cycle with
continuous coverage and the ability to pretty much go anywhere in the world quickly and
seamlessly. The networks were dealing with an unexpected and utterly overwhelming breaking
news story that was changing by the minute. Cameras and lights took time to warm up; those
huge 2" VTRs were notoriously touchy and usually took some time to be properly aligned before
use; remote feeds that normally took many hours to set up and test were being executed in a
matter of minutes; all those clunky preparations and set-ups you see exposed to the world were
normally done off-air, off-camera, and with due diligence and care instead of being quickly
slapped together under conditions of extreme pressure and, for many, emotional turmoil. To me,
the JFK coverage, with all its glitches and faults (especially in the early stages) offers a fascinating
behind the scenes glimpse of TV technology and infrastructure of the era.
But I think WFAA's coverage, with the eyewitness interviews on videotape -- and putting their
chief photog on the air, to describe the film fresh out of the processor -- was outstanding, and
NBC had no innovation like that in their earliest hours. It's also neat to see the WFAA anchor
directing the news coverage from on-camera -- when he gave that one guy directiosn to go back
to the newsroom, and wait for film crews to come back, etc.
ABC was damn lucky to have a decent affiliate in the same city as where the assassination took
place. Without the ability to switch to the "scene of the crime," it would have been hours and
hours of talking heads, phone reports, rip-and-read wire copy, and wirephoto stills held up to the
camera.
Think it's possible that all this tape archive came from WFAA?
We've already established that this was probably taped off the network feed by some affiliate
along the line, and if the theory of there being a second feed of Father Knows Best that day
(either by design or to cover an error) is valid, it could theoretically have been any station along
the line in any time zone. It's entirely possible that as WFAA was taping their own coverage for
history, another VTR may have been running on the ABC feed to preserve that as well. So you
would have had WFAA's continuous local coverage on one machine, and the ABC coverage
including the periodic cutaways to WFAA on another. (And there would have needed to be a
third VTR available to feed the previously shot local tape to New York -- anyone know how many
machines WFAA actually had in 1963?)

Which leads to this query: Was the title of their 1970's late-night show derived from that 1964-
65 slogan?
As to the ABC coverage of the JFK assassination: In the context of what was mentioned by Rob
Jason, Ron Cochran's description of the setup as "impromptu" was unintentionally funny -
because it seemed their whole news operation in those days was impromptu.

...anyone know how many machines WFAA actually had in 1963?
The '63 and '64 Broadcasting Yearbooks show WFAA-TV with five (!) VTRs.
Compare to KRLD-TV and WBAP-TV each having only two.
An interesting side question is why five? They didn't need to do any net delays
(other than any out-of-pattern scheduling of their own choosing). Perhaps ABC
used WFAA-TV as the origination point for spot regionalization (aka cut-ins) to
a particular piece of the network? Although in 1963 more spot inventory would
have been on film rather than tape. Didn't KRLD/KDFW-TV perform a similar task
for CBS later on (1970s)?

And does anyone remember the tone that accompanied
"The New ABC"? It went something like, "de de do doot
DEEEEEE."
It was typically used with video of an ABC studio camera (TK-60?)
in motion at the beginning of the system cue.
This was one of many "Identitones" created by Eric Siday. Others
include the Screen Gems "snake tag" audio (maybe the "dancing
sticks" too), the CBS color intro sounder, and the pre-1968 ABC
Radio news intro theme.
BTW, anyone know who did the earlier Screen Gems logo audio?
Whevener you heard that at the beginning of a program on a local
station, the first thought was "oh boy, Three Stooges!"

interesting observation, the NBC coverage with McGee & Huntley on that set, that seemed to be
thrown together, was in B&W, but the WBAP studio cutaways carried by NBC were in COLOR(i
didn't know local stations were doing color newscasts)

It was typically used with video of an ABC studio camera (TK-60?) in motion at the beginning of
the system cue.
Sure was a TK-60, of which ABC purchased several in 1963. By contrast, the "new" B&W cameras
CBS purchased during 1962-63 to replace their old RCA TK-10/30 and TK-11/31 cameras (in
keeping with their "anything but RCA" equipment purchase ethos) were model Marconi Mark IV.
As for that Siday Identitone - PAMS (a Dallas company, incidentally) did a similar tone (with
similar synthesizer equipment) to start off the American Contemporary news sounder when that
and the other three sub-radio networks of ABC took to the air in 1968.
It's also interesting that at the time of the JFK assassination, NBC was way ahead of CBS in the
nightly news ratings race - yet NBC's coverage, by comparison, seemed more like ABC's in terms
of quality at the outset as the events in Dallas were unfolding. Especially when one compares
with CBS's coverage after the cameras were set up in the newsroom.
Incidentally, Bill Ryan, one of the many anchors of the NBC News coverage, was co-anchor (with
Gabe Pressman) of New York City's first half-hour early-evening local newscast, The
Pressman/Ryan Report, on WNBC-TV from 1963 to 1965. What brought that newscast to an end
was the station's decision to tack on another half-hour, thus creating NYC's first hour-long early
evening local newscast, which they then renamed the Sixth Hour News (although, in terms of
who was anchoring, it was essentially the "MacNeil/Pressman Report" in all but name, since Mr.
Pressman's new co-anchor then was Robert MacNeil - yes, he later of MacNeil/Lehrer fame; and
he who was on the other end of the phone line with Frank McGee during NBC's JFK assassination
coverage).

There were some early converts to color on news and local programs. Of course, WBAP-TV (now
KXAS) Channel 5 in Dallas/Fort Worth was one of them. In Boston, where I'm from, the original
WHDH-TV (Channel 5, Boston) was 100% local color from day one (11/26/1957). All live local
newscasts on WHDH were in color.
Back to the JFK assassination issue. During the weekend of 11/22-24/63, WGBH-TV (the local
"educational" station on Channel 2) was running the same NBC coverage that the local NBC
affiliate WBZ-TV (Channel 4, Boston) was running. Even then, WGBH-TV was no stranger to NBC
programming. Channel 2 also ran "The Huntley/Brinkley Report" and "Meet The Press", minus
the commercials of-course (as WGBH-TV is a non-commercial station).
Since all networks were suspending all commercial programming until Monday afternoon,
WGBH-TV would have no problem running the NBC feed intact.
Which brings up one question. Did any station around the country (dare to) run any commercial
programming during the course of that horrible weekend? I hope not, but if so, who did?
(BURRRRRRRRRRRR.)
As to the ABC coverage of the JFK assassination: In the context of what was mentioned by Rob
Jason, Ron Cochran's description of the setup as "impromptu" was unintentionally funny -
because it seemed their whole news operation in those days was impromptu.
I found it interesting, even humorous, that by the 3rd or 4th switch to WFAA-TV, ABC was grandly
referring to WFAA as "Our Dallas newsroom" and Jay Watson in turn was calling WFAA "The ABC
news information center for this area." Pretty high-falutin' language, there. As if this were some
permanent, ongoing, established setup instead of an ad hoc thing thrown together in a time of
"controlled panic." (Yes, I know that phrase was Bill Ryan's on NBC, but it probably sums up all
three networks' situations on 11/22/63.) It's almost like the #3 network was putting on airs,
trying to act like, "Oh, we do this kind of stuff all the time...no biggie." :
BTW, clear something up for me, if someone can, as I've never watched WFAA's archived
coverage in full. In-between times when WFAA was feeding reports to ABC, were they continuing
to broadcast local coverage in Dallas? Or, by the time the set-up was in full swing, were they
relaying the ABC network feed at that point? (I believe the former is the case, but I'm a little
confused.)

WFAA was indeed doing their own coverage when they didn't stay with ABC. As I mentioned
before a good chunk of WFAA's local JFK coverage is online. www.archive.org
type in WFAA and that should take you there. At one point during WFAA's local coverage, they
did some live shots direct from the WFAA-TV and radio newsroom. People running around and
lots of cigarette smoke..cant get any more live than that.

I have always wondered about that one myself. Maybe there were some radio stations in certain
parts of the country where Kennedy wasn't popular who stuck with regular programming.
However the only one I can think of who took that route was an AM station in my hometown of
Winchester, Virginia..AM 610 WHPL. Many people including my own parents have told me for
years that WHPL did very little Kennedy coverage because the owner at the time..well simply
because he didn't like John Kennedy. For that weekend WHPL stayed with playing country music
and yes from what I was told...they still aired the commercials. As if it was like "business as
usual".
Oddly to those from outside the Winchester area, WHPL DID provide 24/7 coverage earlier that
year on another news event...the death of country music great ( and hometown gal ) Patsy Cline.
Some years back I actually heard of a tape of that coverage..wall to wall featuring even a
member or two of the WHPL staff on location who did reports live from the crash site in
Tennessee. "..I am touching the plane that had taken the life of our Patsy !!". Commericals? Not
during their coverage of Patsy Cline's death.
But WHPL did next to nothing when it came to coverage of Kennedy's death. Sad !!!!
confused.)

All I've ever seen on archive.org is the two hours of brief excerpts WFAA put together one year
after the assassination. (2 hours out of 4 days of coverage is pretty piecemeal.) Are you implying
that there is some link on there to more complete footage?
My bad...I could have sworn there was another clip to the FAA coverage that was a lot longer
than 2 hours but I guess it has since been taken down. Maybe whoever had uploaded felt that
the one clip was good enough. I wish the latter had remained though.

its amazing how ill prepaired the TV networks were in covering it! talk about being caught with
their pants down. i remember at the time, RADIO did as good IF not a better job in covering the
story because the TV networks had NOTHING to put on the screen but panicked anchors reading
wire copy! of the big 3 networks CBS was the most composed, although abc seemed to have
more video thanks to the local Dallas affiliate(who did an incredible job). as far as local radio i
remember the top-40 station WIFE-who just weeks before dropped the CBS radio network, got a
feed via telphone from a Dallas station and re broadcasted it during the first 5 or 6 hours then
played "Quiet" chamber music the rest of that weekend. if you ever get the chance to hear the
KLIF Dallas radio coverage, it was amazing.

At the time it took about ten minutes for the cameras to
warm up before the anchor could be put on the air. It
was because of this that CBS built a "hot" studio, with
cameras ready to go at all times, and the anchor on the
air from the beginning. I suspect ABC and NBC did the
same thing.
I should also mention that WGBH was not the only
noncommerical station airing NBC's coverage that weekend.
Our WUNC, Chapel Hill, also did so, but for a different reason:
Raleigh/Durham had only two commercial stations at the time;
WRAL carried ABC's coverage; WTVD, CBS's. WUNC also carried
"The Huntley-Brinkley Report" for a time afterwards; WRAL had
Ron Cochran and WTVD, Cronkite.

Hate to quote myself, but I'm still curious as hell as to why ABC used the KRLD (a CBS afffilate)
feed for a time. Anyone know? Given the confusion that day, and the turmoil surrounding setting
up that first remote, it is possible that ABC was expecting a feed from WFAA, saw something live
from Dallas on the AT&T lines, and mistakenly assumed it was coming from WFAA?

My guess as to why ABC used KRLD's feed..again just a guess but maybe at the time all or most
of the Dallas-Fort Worth stations may have had some sort of "gentlemen's agreement" with each
other. In other words maybe what had happened was that perhaps ABC did go to WFAA and they
(WFAA ) were in turn were using the KRLD feed. For some big planned event ( like this luncheon )
rather than having a bunch of stations there, only one or two were there so maybe KRLD had
offered their service to WFAA. Of course back then ( from what I read about ) local television
stations in many markets didn't look at each other as the "evil" competition, more like "friendly
rivals who work together" and there was respect. Example..In Pittsburgh when WIIC channel 11
had signed on the air for the first time, guess who spent big bucks in the local papers welcoming
them to the airwaves and wish them much success? It was KDKA-TV channel 2 !!! Today chances
are that would NEVER happen.

...well, as Jay Watson indicated in the studio during the first few minutes of the WFAA coverage,
KRLD was set up for a pool feed of JFK's speech to WFAA (and WBAP) and, consequently, WFAA
used the feed whether JFK spoke there or not. The ABC usage of the KRLD pool feed being
relayed to them from Dallas probably matches up with your question...
Ah, yes...I had forgotten that KRLD was providing local pool coverage from the trade Mart -- that
explains it. Also explains why, in the Trade Mart footage, I don't believe you ever hear Eddie
Barker mention KRLD -- he identifies himself by name, but not by station calls -- because other
stations were also using that feed.
This all brings to mind a related question that I posed some time ago (in some ancient thread on
here) concerning the AT&T coaxial network. All three networks, after some false starts,
established live circuits from their Dallas affiliates that day. (CBS already had one in place to get
the Trade Mart speech from KRLD for taping and later use; NBC and ABC set up circuits "on the
fly" with some false starts and initial technical problems from WBAP and WFAA, respectively.)
And all three would also have been sending their network feed out on the same lines to various
markets. The technical questions I had posed that were never answered were: just how much
bandwidth was available on those coaxial lines; i.e., how many separate video signals could a
section of the network handle at one time? And how were those signals resolved into discrete
feeds at the receiving end; i.e., were there different "channels" or frequencies for each that you
could switch between much like switching channels on any TV receiver? My layman's technical
knowledge of TV/video is far from exhaustive, and limited to what I have picked up over half a
century of TV Geekdom, but I always thought that what was transmitted over the coaxial circuit
was discrete (line) video and audio, not an RF signal that would be transmitted in a particular
swath of frequencies.

...I think you're right about that latter point. I'll have to look at it again, but in both the CBS
national coverage and the WFAA local coverage (or the circulating clips of the latter), I recall it's
Walter Cronkite and Jay Watson who specify KRLD and CBS in their comments, and Barker
mentions neither company at any point...

I may be restating the obvious here: both KRLD
and WFAA had planned to cover the Trade Mart

speech; it sounds like KRLD was to provide the
pictures, and Eddie Barker (KRLD) and Jay Watson
(WFAA) were to provide commentary to their
respective stations.
I have to get in a personal note. That weekend
was the first time I ever heard of WFAA (after all,
I was living in North Carolina). Thirteen years later,
I moved to Dallas, and you can only imagine what
a thrill it was to actually get the station that provided
so much of what I saw Nov. 22-25, 1963. Plus the fact
that by 1976 WFAA was about to be cited by the Columbia
School of Journalism as one of the two best news opeations
(WCCO was the other) in the country. Best to Tracy, Iola,
Troy, and Verne, and to Murphy Martin, wherever you are;
R.I.P. to Bob Gooding and especially the three guys who
made Ch. 8 the best in the '70s and '80s: station president
Mike Shapiro, general manager Dave Lane (two of the classiest
people I've ever met anywhere), and news director Marty Haag.

here's something you won't see on TV, the anchorman smokin' a cigarette! i'm not sure if it was
common in 1963 or it was just the stress of reporting the assination of a President.

I don't know if the Surgeon General's report linking
smoking and cancer was general knowledge in 1963
(I keep thinking it was about 1965), although Edward
R. Murrow (who smoked constantly on camera and
eventually contracted lung cancer) did a report on
the linkage on "See It Now" in 1955. Before that,
John Cameron Swayze's newscast on NBC was sponsored
by Camel and called the "Camel News Caravan."
I can't recall seeing Cronkite, Huntley, Brinkley, or
Cochran regularly smoking on camera. And although he
didn't smoke on camera, Peter Jennings took up the habit
again after 9/11; it probably hastened his death. So I
suspect it was the stress factor behind your seeing anchors
smoking that weekend in 1963.

The Surgeon General's report linking cigarettes to cancer came out in early 1964...and on a
Saturday as not to wreck the stock market. Yes I too think it was the stress factor as to why one
saw the anchors smoking doing the JFK coverage back in 1963. Maybe it was uncommon to see a
news person on the set and on carema smoking but on other shows such as talk shows..that was
a different story. Tom Snyder and Johnny Carson both smoked on their shows well in the 80s and
who can forget Morton Downey Jr. ( though just before his death from lung cancer Morton
slammed himself for doing such a thing ).
Interesting people still smoke on TV today ..of course not the person doing the interview but
rather those who are being interviewed. Like what I saw on E! a few years back when actor Vince
Vaughn was seen talking about his recent new movie ( The Break-Up )..while he was smoking a
cigar and the one night a year ago while flipping through the channels I saw an interview with
actress Jennifer Aniston and her then BF singer John Mayer ...sitting in a hot tub puffing away on
their Marlboro Lights. But then again none of this is really a surprise as even today as a good
many of the big movie/music stars from the past 10 years from Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie and
Lindsay Lohan to rockers like Blink 182 to country's Toby Keith and Tim McGraw to even Britney
Spears and the Backstreet Boys...all of them were/are big time smokers..and many of those
hardly hid their habits like Brad Pitt and his cover on the Rolling Stone..withOUT Dr. Hook
though. ;D

Hell, Obama smokes cigarettes, and he's raising taxes on em'! the last president to smoke? Gerry
Ford(a pipe)... trick question? there was Clinton with his "Cigar". NOW BACK TO THE NEWS...... i
think Cronkite smoked a pipe but i'm not sure if he picked it up at the end of those early
broadcasts or not.

Cronkite was/is a pipe smoker but there was a time back in the 50s he was a spokesman for
Winston cigarettes. Actually Winston I believe had fired Cronkite over..grammar. Of course back
then the slogan was "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should". However to Cronkite he felt it
should had been "Winston tastes good AS a cigarette should". Cronkite said the latter on the air
one day and Winston dropped him as their spokesman.

.... and there are some public figures that really didn't want the public to know that they
smoked.
Former First Lady, Pat Nixon was one; I never realized she smoked until hearing the fact from a
reliable source; the protocol was (at least in 1972) the press was not to take her picture if she
was smoking or even had a cigarette in her hand or nearby.

Jackie Kennedy smoked. Now maybe that bit of information was hidden from the public when
she was first lady but later when Jackie became part of Doubleday Publishing, she pretty much
stopped hiding her habit from the public. Not only were there photos taken with her smoking in
her office but in some of them one could even see Jackie's brand. Salem.
And President Kennedy was a smoker himself...cigars !! There are films out there showing JFK
just a puffing along.
Cronkite was/is a pipe smoker but there was a time back in the 50s he was a spokesman for

should had been "Winston tastes good AS a cigarette should". Cronkite said the latter on the air
one day and Winston dropped him as their spokesman.
One story I read was that Cronkite stayed as spokesman, but an off-screen announcer gave the
slogan instead.
Though, as Winston asked in 1970, "What do you want" Good grammar or good taste?"
I've read in several places that Art Fleming,
host of the original "Jeopardy!", also did those
Winston commercials with the grammatical error.
Mike Wallace was the spokesperson for Parliament
cigarettes; he gave up that and all entertainment-

oriented work after the death of his older son in a
mountain-climbing accident in Greece in 1962. He
decided that the best tribute he could pay would be
to devote full time to news.
One learns something new everyday I knew about Wallace's son but I had NO idea that was the
reason why he had gave up those ads and the other non-news things.
I believe the last male spokesperson for a TV cigarette commercial was David Doyle for Virginia
Slims. David who of course would later go on to do Charlie's Angels, surrounded by all those sexy
women wearing the latest fashions and whatnot saying "...if you ask me these Virginia Slims
cigarettes are too good for women" or "...I have come a long way..baby"..then the girls would let
him have it..like a pie ( or water ) in his face. LOL

...FWIW, actor Paul Dooley appeared in a cigarette commercial that was aired on the first Ed
Sullivan Show The Beatles appeared on, on 9 February 1964; that commercial was edited out of
the version that was released commercially on DVD and replaced with an additional Pillsbury
spot. I seem to recall Dooley kiddingly complaining about it to the Los Angeles Times when the
Beatles/Sullivan DVD set first came out...

Of course, Laura Bush is also a smoker, though she sometimes denied it, especially when she was
on the road campaining against---smoking.

I have for many years wondered what KTVT-11 did, and never have gotten an informed answer.
There is an intriguing photo in one of the dozens of JFK books (I forget which), showing a news
conference at Parkland, and clearly visible in the pic is a KTVT studio camera! So, I wonder if they
were covering some of the events (it doesn't appear that they had much of a news operation
apart from the two daily 15-minute newscasts, which were probably just "rip and read") or if
they were loaning equipment and techs to help the affiliates feed video to the networks?
KERA-13, broadcasting instructional programming, would probably have either signed off or
simply maintained their schedule for awhile -- much as Nickelodeon stayed with their own
school-age programs during 9/11 so as not to unduly alarm any kids who were watching.
The recent special about the JFK assassination on the History Channel
utilized footage from KTVT, so obviously they were doing something.

Re: Retro: Dallas/Ft. Worth Friday, November 22, 1963--KTVT
I think I can solve the mystery about KTVT's coverage of the Kennedy Assassination. If you go to
the excellent site about the history of Tampa's WTVT (at one time both stations were co-owned),
there is an interview with Crawford Rice, who managed both stations in his career. Towards the
end of his interview, he talked about about how KTVT dealt with the situation during that
weekend. He knew that as an independent with a very small news staff, he could not provide
decent coverage of the assassination; he felt it would be bad taste to offer regular programming.
He says he called WBAP-TV and asked the manager there if KTVT could carry the WBAP/NBC
coverage. In trade, he offered to allow WBAP the usage of the KTVT remote unit, along with the
services of the crew who manned it. He said that it was KTVT equipment that provided the live
coverage of the Oswald shooting on NBC. Very interesting-- I wonder if stations today would
cooperate in that manner.

After I saw the special, I regretted that I
didn't move to Dallas until 1976; the local
coverage of the aftermath of the assassination
was as good as anything I saw from the networks
(and it put WFAA on the map, since they supplied
so much information to ABC).
I don't know if two stations in the same market
would cooperate the way WBAP/KXAS and KTVT
did if something like that happened now, but maybe
some of you live where there are regional cooperatives

wherein the member stations exchange stories; we
have two in North Carolina--one consists of WFMY,
WBTV, WWAY (Wilmington), WRAL, and WSPA (Spartanburg,
SC, covering the western Carolinas); the other, of WGHP,
WSOC, WTVD, and WLOS (this was originally a consortium
of ABC stations but WGHP stayed after it went to Fox).
While that might not work for a story confined largely to
one city--as on November 22, 1963--it works when there
are stories spread out over large areas; for example the
kidnapping and killing of a 5-year-old African-American girl
in Lee County, NC in the last couple of weeks was reported
extensively by WFMY and WRAL, and the two exchanged
stories.
Yeah, I know somebody's going to ask: WWAY is an ABC
affiliate; the other stations in its consortium are CBS affiliates.
Why WWAY joined with the CBS group, I don't know.

coverage. In trade, he offered to allow WBAP the usage of the KTVT remote unit, along with the
services of the crew who manned it. He said that it was KTVT equipment that provided the live
coverage of the Oswald shooting on NBC. Very interesting-- I wonder if stations today would
cooperate in that manner.
...on 9/11, they certainly did; I have part of the KTLA/5 Los Angeles coverage on VHS, and at the
time of the first tower's collapse they went briefly to ABC network coverage being anchored by
Peter Jennings (tho that may have actually been what WABC-TV/7 New York was running and
KTLA picked up the WABC feed rather than an ABC network line)...

8:30 Twilight Zone
WFAA-TV Ch. 8 (ABC)
KTVT Ch. 11 (Ind.)
...the "Twilight Zone" episode was "Night Call," the one in which the elderly and disabled woman
(Gladys Cooper) recieves strange telephone calls in the middle of the night. It was postponed
and run instead on February 7, 1964, thus it would have been the episode The Beatles would
have been able to tune in the evening of the day they arrived in New York for their first "Ed
Sullivan Show" broadcast (THE BEATLES: THE FIRST U.S. VISIT shows them watching the "CBS
Evening News" and "The Huntley-Brinkley Report"). The "Jack Paar Program" installment was the
one on which the guests were Miss Miller, Liberace and Cassius Clay, postponed for broadcast
until the following week; the discussion with Clay in which he recites his poetry about fighting
then-champion Sonny Liston while Liberace accompanies him on piano is included in the JACK
PAAR COLLECTION 3-DVD set. The "local reporter" who interrupted Julie Benell's WFAA 12:30
show was in fact Jay Watson, WFAA-TV's program director and an eyewitness to the
assassination, as WFAA's studios were only a couple of blocks away from Dealey Plaza. I don't
know to what extent KTVT had coverage, but when CBS bought the station a few years back,
they went through the old films and found one where Jack Ruby was seen attending a Saturday
press briefing by the Dallas Police Department...
Jay Watson was gone by the time I moved to Dallas; however, to stay on-topic, he must have
gotten extensive airtime that afternoon because the History Channel special that aired last
month showed him on the air quite a bit after breaking into Julie Benell's show; in fact, he had
an eyewitness (I believe the same one who was hit by either a rock or a fragment of JFK's skull)
on-camera and that may have been fed to ABC as well. As for Jack Ruby at the Saturday press
briefing, I believe you can just barely make him out in the footage.
Over many, many years of piecing together the broadcast-related events of that (those) day(s),
this is the first I've heard of this. I know I've seen photos before of the scene outside Dallas
Police HQ that morning -- I really wish I could find those again to see whether there is a marked
KTVT van there.
If this is true, I wonder where WBAP's own mobile unit was staged? I'm guessing perhaps at the
other end of the aborted transfer, the County Jail. (Needless to say, there was suddenly no need
for any live shot from that location...)

Well, bp, I guess we're stuck in Kentucky! Here's a few for you ...
WLWT: The station claims that it was the first, or one of the first, to broadcast ALL its local shows
in color. I have a hard time, personally, swallowing that assertion, but it might well be true, given
founder Powel Crosley, Jr.'s involvement in television set manufacturing (and long before then,
radios). I suppose some of the techie historians who haunt this forum might have some info
about this.
WHAS: That station sure had its bases covered, with a pop-dance, American Bandstand-like half-
hour, followed 90 minutes later by the local country-and-bluegrass show. The Bingham family
sure kept the local flavor going for a longer time than did many other family-owned broadcasters
(WHAS radio also reflected this). But changing tastes and economics would do both shows in by
the beginning of the next decade.
WLEX: Yes, sir, Waylon Jennings was most certainly NOT an "outlaw" back then. He was clean
shaven and had short hair and wore the then-conventional black suits common to male country
artists of that period. Jennings was at the time a struggling Nashville singer/songwriter, much
like his eventual partner in crime, Willie Nelson. Porter Wagoner was about as straight-arrow
country as one could get at the time, so I doubt Jennings would have been on had his rebellious,
"progressive" streak been on display. Of course, both Jennings and Nelson gave Nashville the
finger and returned to their native Texas, and the rest is history.
BTW, compare the old syndie Nashville-based shows like Wagoner's with the CMA awards that
aired earlier this month. I don't want to create a side controversy here, but, IMO, they are not
even REMOTELY similar in music or style. Country, for the worse in my view, has almost severed
itself from its past. I know because I watched shows like that (and, of course, Hee Haw) with my
country music-loving father back in the Seventies. He would not be a fan today; in fact, he
wouldn't recognize the music.

Also on that show was George Kirby. In addition, the production of this particular edition was
referred to in a cover story on Gleason in the March 9-15, 1968 issue of TV Guide.

No, country today has so much of a rock influence (at least
what little I bother with) that it bears no resemblance to what
you would have heard on the Porter Wagoner, Wilburn Brothers,
or other shows in that vein in the '60s.
Does anyone remember when Nashville record producer Billy
Sherrill tried to "mainstream" country with his "Nashville sound"?
It consisted of full orchestral background and later led to a rebellion
by a new generation of country artists who wanted to take the music
closer to its roots. If that has anything to do with Waylon and Willie
giving Nashville "the finger" and heading for Austin, it's not hard to see
why (sorry, Eddy Arnold, Jim Reeves, and Ray Price, you were all great
but somebody had you citified).

Re: RETRO: Detroit, Monday 7/6/1981
A few notes to pass along...
The Night Strangler was the second TV movie in the Kolchak series; it was then followed by a
weekly series (20 episodes over one season).
I'm curious to see any visual evidence of WXYZ's version of The 4:00 Movie and/or the Late Night
Movie (having seen various excerpts from WLS in the past).

Different episodes?
Almost certainly. Syndicated shows were distributed on film or videotape back then, and the
result was that different stations would normally air different episodes. I lived in an area where I
received three different stations (from different markets) that all aired "MASH" reruns at the
same time -- and it was always a different episode on each of the three stations. You could
choose your favorite...

Thanks for the comments, although what I found odd was that they were listed on separate lines
as opposed to integrated on the same line. I'm guessing at least one of them had a
program/episode description.

Channel 20 was subscription TV beginning at 8 PM
As was ch.31, with "IT", which began around this time, as competition to "ON-TV" on ch.20.
As for 31's regular programming, I noticed that many of their programs, such as "Susan Noon",
"Fran Carlton" and "Women's Channel", are the same shows seen on the SPN cable network. Did
31 get their shows off of the SPN feed?

Interesting that WXYZ, an ABC O&O back then had displaced Edge of Night to a mid-morning
timeslot. Except later on for WPVI, ABC O&Os as well as all O&O usually followed the network
schedule completely.

So, it looks like AB wasn't carried in Syracuse at this time?? Any other Syracusans with a long
memory care to comment -- if they remember watching it weekday afternoons? What channel
did it show up on, since there wasn't a fulltime ABC affil in the 'cuse yet?
And I wonder how WCNY/7 in Watertown got their feed of AB -- I thought at this time they did
not yet have a direct link to the networks, but got their multi-network programming from the
Syracuse stations...
And, this guide leaves out three upstate stations -- WINR/40 Binghamton, WSYE/18 Elmira, and
WPTZ/5 Plattsburgh...Then again, it doesn't show Buffalo stations, either...
And Bluenoser, for Rochester, does the guide distinguish when a show was carried by WHEC, or
WVET -- since the two stations shared channel 10 at the time?
Great guide! Thanks for posting it!

WPTZ was in the St. Lawrence edition, Buffalo stations were in the Lake Ontario edition. I
remember seeing listings for the Binghamton edition online (IIRC they listed Syracuse, Bingo,
Elmira and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre), so WINR and WSYE were likely in there.
The listings didn't indicate as to which version of WHEC-WVET carried programs, hopefully
someone out there may know a little more as to how the two stations divvied up the airtime.
The stations also had separate studios, with WHEC at 40 Franklin St and WVET at 17 Clinton Ave

...probably June Christy, the former vocalist with Stan Kenton's band; I seem to recall that, as
they were both signed to Capitol Records in much of the '50s, Torme and Christy cut a few duets
together...

No AB was not on in Syracuse until WNYS Ch 9 signed on a couple years later. Of course Dick
Clark is from Utica and worked, at one time, at WKTV. So WKTV did carry the 4:30 -5:00 segment
-the one with the guest stars He did go to S. U. and worked at WOLF so there is a Syracuse
connection, too.
My older siblings and cousins were addicted to AB. Who was dancing with who and the special
guest stars mouthing the words to their hits. In fact, my cousin actually bought a special antenna
to put on his roof so he could pull in WAST in Albany. He and his buddies would invite "special"
female guests to watch the whole show. Both parents worked. They would watch the first half
hour on the snowy but watchable WAST then switch over to WKTV, and the final half hour on
WAST -or until my Aunt & Uncle got home.
Interesting that TV guide listed the CBS affiliation for WKTV. The relationship had ended by that
time. Something happened to sour that relationship, but whatever it was has been lost to the
ages. But because of that, Utica has never gotten a CBS affiliation to this day. WKTV has always
been a primary NBC affiliate from day one. It works out because WKTV shows up strong east and
actually does well in the Albany market. So WKTV has always been well compensated by NBC.

Sounds like you lived in the Mohawk Valley.
I would guess that the old WHEN/channel 8 had something to do with WKTV not carrying CBS
programming.An engineer at channel 3 in syracuse once told me someone had come up with a
way to squeeze in a channel 4 in Utica (probably the same way ch. 2 was squeezed in -- between
channels 2 in NYC and in Buffalo -- by putting the actual tower northeast of Utica), but that
WHEN/WTVH may've objected, because then they would lose their exclusivity to broadcast CBS
to Utica.
And I still find it hard to believe that WSYR and WHEN did not pick up AB in Syracuse -- especially
since Clark was an S.U. grad, had worked in Utica just down the road, and Syracuse was a top 50
market back then, etc. I mean, I believe you -- it is just unbelievable.
And as for WCNY/7 carrying it on kinescope, that's probably what happened. An old-timer at ch.
7 told me about the days they'd get kines from the network, and they would splice in the
commercials on film, so it was one big reel.

More history of Central NY TV: Channel 4 was dropped into the Utica market. No one seems to
know exactly when (maybe Scott Fybush might have some info). I do know it was known in the
mid 80's when WKTV was up for sale and the idea of another VHF -and possibly a CBS affiliate
was a factor at the time. The deal fell through. It may have been there in the early 60's with all
the channel swapping in upstate NY.
What I do know, is that Roy H. Park certainly would have put a channel 4 on the air instead of
channel 20 (WUTR) if he had known it was available back in 1969. Park Broadcasting was a fairly
sophisticated operation and if a "V" was available it would seem like they would have gone after
it. But that being said, Uncle Roy did have his compliment of 5 "V"s and WUTR would have been
his 2nd "U"- the F. C. C. limit at the time. So why didn't some else go after channel 4 if it was
available?
I did meet Roy Park once and discussed with him WUTR. He did try to get CBS affiliation for
WUTR-TV 20. CBS rejected the affiliation on the grounds they were not accepting any UHF
stations as affiliates. I knew of only a very few CBS UHF stations. One, ironically, owned by Park in
Birmingham Al. Obviously Meredith and WTVH blocked the Utica affiliation. Park was very bitter
about it since he owned five CBS stations in some pretty decent sized markets. He found out he
had very little influence at CBS. To this day, I can't figure out why Utica does not have a CBS
station since it has all the other nets. I can't believe WTVH has the power to block it anymore
since they have definitely gone down the tubes and a mere shadow of what they once were.

...interesting, since CBS had once bought two UHF stations in Milwaukee -- the license and
transmitter of former ABC/DuMont affiliate WOKY-TV/19 and the studios and offices of CBS
affiliate WCAN-TV/25 -- and merged them into WXIX/19, which CBS owned and operated for four
years. On the other hand, in Madison, Wisconsin, the original CBS affiliate was WKOW-TV/27 in
June 1954; when WISC-TV/3 took to the air, CBS bailed out on WKOW and 27 in turn took the
ABC affiliation away from WMTV/33, leaving 33 with NBC...
Couple additional points to raise here..
First, the WHEC/WVET share-time arrangement...they had a split schedule arrangement in which
one day, WHEC programmed from sign-on through the dinner-hour local news, then the channel
switched to WVET just before Douglas Edwards' newscast began and carried through prime-time,
the late local news and the late movie. The next day, WVET handled morning and afternoon
programming while WHEC aired primetime and late news and movies. The two organizations
(Gannett, which controlled WHEC, and Veterans' Broadcasting, which ran WVET) were both
primary CBS affiliates and made joint arrrangements with each other and with WROC on which
ABC shows they'd carry. The arrangement lasted almost eight years, from the time the Channel
10 joint license signed on the air in November of 1953 until mid-1961, when Gannett bought out
Veterans Broadcasting's half-share in Channel 10 and Veterans used the cash to turn around and
buy Channel 5, WROC-TV (the NBC affiliate). They still worked out a joint arrangement to split
ABC shows...until WOKR signed on the next year on Channel 13, at about the same time
Syracuse fired up Channel 9.
As to why Utica never got a fulltime CBS affiliate...while Meredith owned WHEN-TV it carried a
lot of weight with CBS, since Meredith owned CBS affiliates in several markets (Syracuse, Kansas
City, Flint-Saginaw-Bay City and Omaha come to mind immediately) and they were easily able to
convince the net that they could cover Utica from their transmitter on Sentinel Heights. They did
put a big signal out, but having four lucrative markets in their portfolio probably meant most to
the network brass. Yes, indeed, Meredith got itself grandfathered as the CBS franchisee for both
Syracuse and Utica-Rome. The Utica area could have had a Channel 4 station 50 years ago on
purely technical grounds, since a channel 4 transmitter co-located with WKTV easily would meet
all technical parameters in the FCC rules. But the Feds decided to allocate only one VHF station
to the market in 1952 (first Channel 13 and later Channel 2). That lasted until the mid-80s, when
Channel 4 was assigned to Utica. But by then the market had shrunk, and questions about
spectrum use for digital TV pretty much blocked that allocation from being used almost as soon
as it was put in the books. Theoretically someone could come in and ask for a Channel 4 CP even
now--if you could get a CP to operate a digital signal with enough power to overcome all the
electrical noise that hurts low-band VHF signals.

Kenny Delmar in his most famous role, that of Senator Claghorn (from the "Fred Allen Show" on
NBC Radio), It's a Joke, Son!, http://www.archive.org/details/its_a_joke_son is the place to go...

A little piece of nostalgia my dad would enjoy: just mention
Oldsmobile and he'll bring up Douglas Edwards. He insists that
the Edwards newscast was the only program he watched
regularly in the early '50s; he aired locally on WFMY, which
signed on September 22, 1949 but did not receive live network
feeds until October 1950 (along with WBTV, WSB, and WAGA).

there is a classic interview with Douglas Edwards where he talks about CBS brass coming to him
after a very successful radio career and moving him to the TV news desk. He thought it was a
dumb toy and his career had effectively been ended. "What a crummy break!"

I think it was Gary Paul Gates, in his history of CBS News, "Air Time,"
who said that Edwards took a good deal of persuading to take the
early-evening newscast. I suppose like a lot of people in 1948 he
thought television was a passing fad, but I think it was Frank Stanton
who persuaded him that if the took the television job he'd become more
famous than he had been on radio. Even Edwards couldn't understand
why none of "Murrow's boys" would take the job; Stanton apparently
didn't feel they could convey the intimate, one-on-one relationship to
the viewer that's so important on television (in fact, of that group,
only Howard K. Smith ever anchored a newscast on a nightly basis,
and that was on ABC).

Re: Retro: Indianapolis/Lafayette/Terre Haute Tues, Nov 12, 1974
Bluenoser, did TVG indicate whether or not these listings were in "slow" or "fast" time, as it was
known back then? I wonder if TVG did that in and around the Daylight/Standard changeovers in
the spring and fall--I know for a fact that a competing TV listing for central Indiana did. Much of
Arizona, as I recall, did not observe Daylight time either, and thus was considered the same as
the Pacific Zone during that part of the year. It looks here, though, as if things were back on
Standard Time, with primetime beginning at 8 p.m.

Based on http://www.mccsc.edu/time.html, it sounds like Indiana (as well as the rest of the
country) was on Daylight Time...I don't really know very much about the cluster known as
Indiana time zones

Indianapolis, Lafayette, and Terre Haute would have
been one hour off if year-round EDT was in effect
(Louisville and Lexington would have been as well)
because of the gas crisis. Otherwise, if DST ended
at the end of October, they were in line with the
rest of the Eastern time zone.

Yeah, bp, and if I am not mistaken, I believe that states had the opportunity to opt out, but only
if the entire state (no exceptions) went along. A Louisville Courier-Journal listing I have from the
day Richard Nixon resigned the presidency, August 9, 1974, has all Kentucky stations listed in
what appears to be Central time, whereas stations in Cincinnati, West Virginia, and east
Tennessee all specify EST. I may be confused, but it appears that Indiana and Kentucky may have
both declined the extended DST, whereas most states east of the Mississippi went along with it.
I am anxious to locate that paper, BTW, so I can post it.

Was "Happy Days" completely pre-empted in Indy during fall 1974 on WLWI-13, or did it air on
tape delay in some other slot?
Same question with "Adam-12" in Terre Haute on WTWO-2 (bumped for "Hee Haw" at 7:30 EST).

Just thought of this--do you also have Indiana listings from another Tuesday night over 13
months later (a "red-letter" one)--Dec. 16, 1975: the night "One Day At a Time" (set in Indy)
premiered on CBS? I wonder how the premiere of "One Day" was covered in Indianapolis with
the show set in that city (and with it being a little controversial at times).

My guess is that well..not much as far as covering the premire of One Day went. I saw the
episodes of "One Day at a Time" from the first season and there wasn't much of "Indianapolis"
mentioned on the show at all other than a single line here or there ( and those only people from
Indy would get ). Very generic actually to the point One Day could had been set in Kansas City,
Denver, Atlanta or even Harrisonburg, Virginia people wouldn't even really know the difference
( OK scratch that last city out ). I think it was the 3rd season ( 4th ?) where the opening credits
did finally show Indianapolis and from what I can recall that was a request made to Norman Lear
from the city of Indianapolis themselves.
Now if WISH-TV 8 had made a big deal out of "One Day at a Time" from day one...well......thats a
good question.

I remember that Indiana and Kentucky opted out and that both states
were completely on EST (the term Indiana preferred to CDT), but West
Virginia, Ohio, and east Tennessee went on EDT.
One thing I remember about Louisville (correct me if I'm wrong) is that
WLKY carried its local news at 5:30 and ABC News at 6. As long as
Louisville was on Eastern time, the news was followed (at that time)
by Hogan's Heroes at 6:30, a checkerboard of game shows at 7, and
What's My Line? at 7:30. IIRC, during the period we're talking about
WLKY went straight from Smith and Reasoner to What's My Line? since
6:30 (CT) was access time and Louisville was in the no-reruns-on-
affiliates restriction. I also seem to recall WHAS dropping Beat The Clock,
which it ran at 7 (ET) and going straight to its 7:30 checkerboard at
6:30 (CT).

South Bend & Fort Wayne were also on the same time as the central time zone during sprint &
summer. I remember that until 2005, South Bend TV stations would list 2 times, such as for the
news, they would say for the night news, 10pm, 11pm in Michigan. All other promos for TV
shows would add an hour for Michigan. Since 2006, South Bend stopped doing that, since
they're now on the same time with eastern time all year round. Since LaPorte County Indiana is
part of Chicago (though they're really closer to South Bend than Chicago), they don't mention
central time in their promos. South Bend wanted to switch to central time, but the rest of the
market wanted to observe eastern time. So South Bend had to stay on eastern time.
from TV Guide-Central Indiana edition

While WTTV promotes themselves as an Indianapolis station, they're actually licensed to

Bloomington. If the COL wasn't so far south, they could have had city grade coverage over
Indianapolis.

Indianapolis.
I don't know if this was a spacing issue or not, especially since the nearest 4s to Bloomington /
Indy was Columbus, Detroit, Milwaukee, St. Louis and Nashville.
Also, because of its location, WTTV would later establish a satellite in Kokomo, WTTK ch.29, to
better serve areas north of Indy.
Following the digital transition, WTTV moved its transmitter to Johnson County, closer to Indy.
WTTK's, I think, is still close to Kokomo, though they have a permit to move the transmitter to
Indianapolis itself.
It was a spacing issue, as well as a distance issue from the COL. WCIA used to be on channel 3 in
Champaign, Illinois & WTTV on 4. Now, it's co-channel spacing, as WCIA & WTTV are both on
channel 48. With both stations on 48, that makes it even less likely WTTV could move further
north. As for WTTK, they could move the signal toward Indianapolis, while still putting city grade
coverage over Kokomo. It's like in Chicago where WGBO RF 38 is licensed to Joliet, IL, & sister
station WXFT RF 50 is licensed to Aurora Illinois. Both of those stations are far from Chicago, but
not too far that their transmitters are in Chicago, and still can put out city grade coverage over
their COL's. If WTTK is able to cover nearly all of the market, then Tribune could use just WTTK
for the CW, and either program WTTV for something else, or sell WTTV to someone else. The link
I'm providing has the maps in .PDF format, and you would have to scroll thru all of the
Indianapolis stations to get to the coverage maps for WTTV & WTTK.
http://www.fcc.gov/dtv/markets/maps_...napolis_IN.pdf . This link (from the same site) has
maps that can be received based on where you live, though the maps aren't necessarily correct:

poor coverage into Indy if it had any at all. It was primary NBC for its first few years but carried
programs from all 4 networks. Back in that day, a station had to physically operate from its COL,
as well as provide city-grade coverage. That rule didn't change until the mid '50s.
When the new allocations were released in 1952, Channel 4 was allocated to Bloomington, not
Indy. Had it not been on the air yet, the channel probably would have been allocated to Indy and
operated there from the start. Before 1952, the allocations table showed Channel 10 allocated to
Indy (along with 3, 6, 8, and 12), but the station never operated from there until long after it
moved to Channel 4.
I don't think there would have been a short-spacing issue with other Channel 4s in Milwaukee,
Detroit, and Columbus, or with Channel 3s in Champaign and Louisville had the WTTV tower
been further north.
Also, in 1974, WTTV still maintained their original studio in Bloomington and used it for only a
few B&W shows that targeted that city (I don't think it was ever set up for color - it was a very
small studio that wasn't used much anymore). The main studio had moved to Indy in 1956,
about the time when it lost NBC to WFBM-TV and picked up ABC from WISH-TV for a year.

9 AM The Game Game (What happens when Chuck Barris
does a game show straight? It tanks, and this one
did. It had a celebrity panel matching answers on

Chuck Barris would try another straight game in 1980 -- "Camouflage". That show tanked so
badly, Chuckie practically gave up on game shows entirely for a few years.

Now it's time to leave Kentucky and mosey on back over the Appalachians to ole Virginny, as the
ancient song goes ... with bp as our tour guide.
WTAR, 7:30 a.m.: Ummmm. Suppose it was sponsored by the "Scrumpdillyicious" Dairy
Queen?--!
WSVA: I think the lack of an upgrade to local for local broadcasts probably explains a lot about
why the station JIPed The Today Show. I have seen earlier posts on this forum about WSVA's
owners being so traditionalist that they would not air local commercials, so it may be that they
imposed an off-air curfew from, say, 1 to 8 a.m. It's further possible that station management
didn't perceive that folks on the farm would be watching TV as they prepared to do their chores,
so the sign-on time may have been geared toward the in-town audience, women who didn't
have time to watch until their husbands went to work and their children got off to school.
Anyways, as the only game in town, the station held the cards--and two networks hostage at
times.
WAVY, 1:30 p.m.: Classic example of NBC's "graveyard problem" between 1968, when it lost Let's
Make a Deal, to 1975, when it expanded Days of Our Lives to a full hour.
WAVY: 6:30 p.m.: I have posted before about the 1970-71 troika of NBC Nightly News anchors,
and its effect on undermining audience confidence. Why guess at who will be at the anchor
desk, when you knew that trusty old "Uncle Walt" would be there every night on CBS? The result
led to NBC suffering ratings doldrums in its evening newscasts for the next 25 years.
WWBT, 1:30 p.m.: Indeed, I recall seeing a listing for the "new" Linkletter show on my birthday,
March 16, 1970, once. The guest was none other than Jack Webb, who appeared to do a
segment to show parents how to check if their children were on drugs. I happened to be born
(12:40 p.m. Central Time) while that was on the air, and I swear to this day that that is the
reason I have always taken a liking to Dragnet, Adam-12, and Emergency! But as for your point, I
agree wholeheartedly. It was a gambit by NBC to get older (and nostalgic) viewers, while
updating the guests and topics to resemble Mike Douglas or Merv Griffin, in order to grab some
young housewives. As you say, it was all for naught, and I am sure this failure is the reason Art
Linkletter decided to get out of the limelight, and appear on TV only occasionally thereafter.
Linkletter was accompanied by his son, Jack, who later appeared on another NBC daytime failure
eight years later titled America Alive! The junior Linkletter died a couple of years ago, while the
senior is still going strong at 97, and in fact, has been politically active in organizing a
conservative seniors' organization, to oppose some of the initiatives of the AARP.
WYAH: Here we see the embryonic state of what would become Pat Robertson's broadcasting
(and later educational) empire. It is somewhat odd that his station tried local newscasts at 7 and
10:30; one has to wonder whether or not they reported things from a "Christian" perspective, a
la 700 Club.

Actually WSVA did air local commercials back in those days and yeah as I found out very recently
thanks to Newspaper Archive, even on Sunday as well such as ads in the Saturday Daily News-
Record for example I saw an ad from 1969 for the local Shenandoah Pride milk mentioning "..be
sure to watch our commercial Sunday.. tune in to TV 3". Of course among the old timers in the
area they swear to otherwise . I supposed this can be understandable between having a local
newspaper that still refuses to this day to publish a Sunday edition, being the home of a
supermarket chain that refused to sell certain items because they would go against the owner's
faith ( yes that means NO TV Guide !! ) and not too mention the market was the home of ultra
conversative radio announcer ( WQPO-FM ) Blake Allen...it shouldn't come as a surprise that
some people had some kinda of idea that the old WSVA-TV was "picky" when it came to ads and
programming in those days even if in reality, they really weren't.

6 AM Summer Semester: "Eisenhower" (runs a day behind)
Do you mean even a day behind the de facto day behind?

Sunrise/Summer Surprise was fed down the line weekdays from
1-1:30 PM ET for stations to record and play early the next
morning, so one could say it was "a day behind" anyway--or
argue that it really wasn't, since it was a closed-circuit feed
during the dead half-hour of daytime not meant for airing "live."
9 AM Betty Feezor (WWBT is a sister station to WBTV
Charlotte, which is how they got this.)
A day behind or even a week delay from the Charlotte airing?

Well, file THAT in the category of urban, or should we say small-town, legends. Thanks for setting
us straight.

The broadcast of "Summer Semester" on WTVR aired the
day after it aired on WTAR, which is why I used the term

"day-behind." I don't know how much delay there was
between the time Betty Feezor's show aired in Charlotte
and in Richmond, since she was live in Charlotte at 1 PM.
"Flibbertigibbet": I don't remember who sponsored it, but
I do remember the hostess, a rather perky blonde named
Ann Dawson. I don't know what happened to her.
"Life With Linkletter" was actually closer to Phil Donahue
than to Mike or Merv; the subject on the day of these
listings was sexual inadequacy in men over 50. All that
was missing were the audience and phone-in questions.
It was, however, a radical change for Art Linkletter who,
I think, was still coping with the death of daughter Diane
a few months earlier. As for Jack and "America Alive," he
was the only regular on that show not singled out for
negative criticism. The only NBC show in the 1:30 slot
that did last more than a few months (before "Days Of Our
Lives" expanded to an hour and moved to 1:30 in 1975) was
Bill Cullen's "Three On A Match" (1971-74).
And the less said about the Barris version of "Camouflage,"
the better. He ruined one of my favorite games.

I wouldn't be surprised if the death of his daughter Diane was the reason why Art Linkletter
would do this type of program rather than his usual "talking to the kids" type of show. I believe it
was also around this time Art had got into the anti-drug and anti-pop culture mode, even going
around saying that drugs had caused Diane's death even though from what I read about her
death over the years, according to the autopsy report on Diane Linkletter, no drugs were in her
system at the time of her death which is one reason why many people to this day believed Diane
Linkletter was murdered, that and the man she was with at the time of her death was also the
last person to have seen Carol Wayne whose 1985 death was just as bizarre as Diane Linkletter's.

I'm almost positive Diane Linkletter's death was the reason Art
began speaking out on issues, with this show as a forum. I've
also heard of the possibility that Diane was murdered because
no drugs were found in her system, although I'd never heard of
a possible link between her death and Carol Wayne's (that doesn't
mean there wasn't one). At any rate, aside from the overpowering
competition of "Let's Make A Deal" and "As The World Turns," it wasn't
quite the same Art Linkletter who had been so much a part of daytime
with his "House Party" format, and that just may have contributed to
the public's rejection of "Life With Linkletter."

A couple of other notes. I remember WYAH's newscasts as
being pretty straight; no Pat Robertson trying to relate the
news to Biblical prophecy as he so often does on "The 700
Club."
Also, I don't know if he was still there in 1970, but back around
1967-68 the host of "Dialing For Dollars" on Ch. 8 in Richmond was
Rich Landrum. If you watched the Raleigh-based wrestling shows
in the '70s and early '80s you'll remember him as play-by-play
announcer on "World Wide Wrestling."
A couple of other notes. I remember WYAH's newscasts as

MUCH easier for Pat Robertson & Company to mix religion & news together on a nationwide
show such as the 700 Club than for one a local news broadcast on a single station like WYAH.
Topics like abortion, gay marriage, medical marijuana, the Iraq war, pronography, pop cutlure,
hookah, etc...they are all hot topics on a nationwide platform which makes it easier to bring up
the Bible when talking about them. Kinda of hard to do that with a bank robbery, city council
meeting, traffic accident or some murder.
Also when one does try to mix local news & religion, it can be a problem. For example
Woodstock, VA's religious WAZT-TV back in the mid 90's lost a lot of sponsors and viewers when
their owners went public during one of their newscasts with their personal opinions about how
they believe a local FM rock music station should fire one of their jocks because he had HIV
becasue they felt by having this man on the air went against their faith. To this day WAZT never
really recovered from that even after the owners had long since left the biz.

RETRO: WTZA-TV 62, Kingston, NY: Oct. 26-Nov. 1, 1991; Mar. 27-Apr. 3, 1993
For years, the Hudson Valley has had an independent station to call its own, WTZA, whose call
letters implied: "From The Tappan Zee To Albany." It launched in December 1985, and would
serve its area for nearly a decade, before it was sold and changed to the current WRNN. You can
read more about the station's history here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRNN-TV
The following is two full weeks of schedules for WTZA when it was in its prime. They come from
Albany, NY editions of TV Guide. Perhaps, if I feel so inclined (or if someone makes a request) I'll
post a full day's worth of programs from all stations from either edition. For now, enjoy what was
once known as "Hudson Valley Television".

Re: RETRO: WTZA-TV 62, Kingston, NY: Oct. 26-Nov. 1, 1991; Mar. 27-Apr. 3, 1993
I would tend to be of the same opinion. However, after posting this thread, I read the Video
Power entry on Wikipedia (yes, as obscure as the show was, it has its own Wiki) and it said that
the show had two formats, the original being a video game Q&A or talk show format. The
second go-round was in the form of a game show, though I am not sure if the game show was
geared toward kids. Regardless, I would say that the former of the two would be appropriate for
late-night viewing, though I'm not sure why TV Guide still flagged it as "children" - probably
because it was based on "kids' stuff"?

Wow, learn something new every day ..... I didn't know Briggs Gordon started out at WDXR. By
1978 he was hosting what by then was called "The Funny Company" on WSIL - despite it still
being logged as "Cactus Pete" in TV GUIDE!
Lots to be said about Uncle Briggs (RIP) - it was a show that defied description; you had to be
there.
WSIL (3) ABC
5:30 Cactus Pete--local children's show
6:00 Three Stooges (WSIL did not carry "ABC Evening News")
6:30 WSIL News
Not sure how the Louisville paper had this listed - I ass/u/me they had just "news" listed for 6:30.
As of 1978 (when we moved to Cape Girardeau), WSIL aired "Cactus Pete"/"Funny Company"
until 6:15, at which time WSIL aired a 15-minute local newscast ... with Briggs Gordon (!!) doing
sports, not giving him much time to change from his flannel shirt/overalls/polka-dot cap Uncle
Briggs getup. And at 6:30, WSIL aired ABC Evening News.
[I believe I might've mentioned a few years back that the Paducah-Cape-Harrisburg market was
one of the few where you could watch all network newscasts without time-shifting .... WPSD
aired NBC in pattern at 530, KFVS always aired CBS at 6, and WSIL cleared the ABC cast at 6:30.]
KFVS (12) CBS
10:00 Channel 12 Reports--probably investigative/documentary program
Nope, just the title for their 10 PM local newscast. Unlike the "Breakfast Show", noon (which
began with "The Farm Picture") or 5:30 casts, this one had a very dramatic old-school filmed
open with a spinning globe and a booming "CHANNEL 12 REPORTS!!!!!!" voiceover.
12 was basic and spartan, very no-frills under its original ownership (Oscar Hirsch). Until 1979,
when Hirsch sold 12 to AFLAC, the station still had partitioned news, sports and weather
segments ... sometimes with the same anchor doing all three.
--Russell
O.K. R.W., here's my take, one at a time ...
WDXR, 3:30 p.m.: I have heard of Briggs Gordon before, but Tim Hollis' book Hi, There, Boys and
Girls! should provide more of a bio on him.
WSIL, 5:30 to 7 p.m.: The 6:30 p.m. local newscast was rendered simply "Evening News," while
the station's 10 p.m. newscast was listed as "Weather and News." Not surprising, given the
station's reputation for extremely low budgets (which a post a long while back testified to, in the
category of "Worst TV Station Ever." As for why WSIL held out on ABC's evening newscast for so
long, I would venture that ratings were only part of it; WSIL's owners probably held ultra-
conservative political views and likely balked at Howard K. Smith and Harry Reasoner's
sometimes liberal commentaries airing on the station.
The so-called "Heartland" market (a slogan used by KFVS) is a highly unusual one, given that
each station's primary local news audiences were those in the states they were located in (WSIL,
southern Illinois; KFVS, southeastern Missouri; WPSD, western Kentucky and northwestern
Tennessee). But all in all, KFVS had the strongest signal and probably the highest aggregate
ratings. WSIL certainly took note of that and decided to counter-program by continuing a
tradition that obviously held over from the station's earliest days (when kiddie programs up until
news time was the norm). Viewers there had also been accustomed to this pattern and knew
little about its uniqueness compared to other parts of the country.
But, boy, the WSIL makeup/costuming department sure had a job to do with Uncle Briggs, didn't
they?
KFVS, 10 p.m.: I should have known that it was the 10 p.m. newscast, but I got thrown off by the
title of its 5:30 bulletin: "Regional News." Usually, the names of the early evening and late
evening newscasts are the same, except to modify a time perspective (e.g. "Evening Edition,"
"Late Edition," etc.).
BTW, another thing about KFVS' ratings strength. Its scheduling of CBS Evening News at 6 p.m.
and local news at 5:30 was very rare for a Central Time Zone affiliate. Two other examples that
come to mind are WMC in Memphis (with NBC Nightly News) and WBRC in Birmingham (with
ABC and local news at 5, back in the 1970s). In both cases, those stations were so dominant that
their local bulletins could easily trounce the network newscasts on their rivals (and vice versa at
6). So, I am sure that channel 12 had the Nielsens in its pocket and could pretty much do what it
wanted. Only WPSD in this market did the conventional thing, with the network news at 5:30
and local at 6.

Re: "The Mother of All TV Listings"--part 7
It wasn't so uncommon for ABC affiliates in the Central
time zone to air Smith and Reasoner at 5, followed by
local news at 5:30; KOCO Oklahoma City, KATV Little
Rock, KTUL Tulsa, and WKRN Nashville also did this at

one time or another during the '70s.

WDXR, 3:30 p.m.: I have heard of Briggs Gordon before, but Tim Hollis' book Hi, There, Boys and
Girls! should provide more of a bio on him.
Unfortunately, Hollis' book mentions nothing about Briggs -- it was I who mentioned him after
the fact (Tim and I collaborate on a Birmingham website).
He ended up in radio over in Cape Girardeau, jocking mornings on one of the top-40s before
dying way before his time (he was, I believe, barely in his mid 30s). Gordon went out like Belushi
- full-tilt and loving life (and the sauce) to the fullest.
WSIL, 5:30 to 7 p.m.: The 6:30 p.m. local newscast was rendered simply "Evening News," while
the station's 10 p.m. newscast was listed as "Weather and News." Not surprising, given the
station's reputation for extremely low budgets (which a post a long while back testified to, in the
category of "Worst TV Station Ever." As for why WSIL held out on ABC's evening newscast for so
long, I would venture that ratings were only part of it; WSIL's owners probably held ultra-
conservative political views and likely balked at Howard K. Smith and Harry Reasoner's
sometimes liberal commentaries airing on the station.
I don't think WSIL ever preempted ABC's network casts .... I do have a scattering of Evansville-
Paducah TVG editions from the late '60s into the '70s, and soon as I get to 'em (we're in the
process of moving), I'll pull and out and verify.
'SIL, to my knowledge, was hardly an ultra-conservative station! Not a station which, in the '70s,
used Pink Floyd as a music bed for the station ID, plus the intro to ELO's "So Fine" for their
afternoon movie. WSIL was what it was - a shoestring station, unpretentious, with young turks
who seemed to have fun 'playing television.'
WPSD-6 in Paducah, on the other hand, THEY tended toward the reactionary side of the room -
e.g., not clearing SNL until 1979, and even then delaying it by one hour!
The so-called "Heartland" market (a slogan used by KFVS) is a highly unusual one, given that
each station's primary local news audiences were those in the states they were located in (WSIL,
southern Illinois; KFVS, southeastern Missouri; WPSD, western Kentucky and northwestern

Oddly enough, KFVS didn't coin the phrase "heartland" until the mid-ish '80s. Like other markets
spread out over different states, each station typically programmed to its own neighborhoods.
Few in Cape, for instance, watched any news other than 12's.

Was WSIL's 6:30 newscast local? ABC's was called the "ABC
Evening News With Howard K. Smith and Harry Reasoner," and
I recall thinking it strange that WSIL would carry it at 6:30 (CT),
since the three network feeds to that time zone would have been
at 5, 5:30, and 6. But I have seen Courier-Journal listings from
the period that indeed show ABC News at 6:30 on WSIL.

WPSD-6 in Paducah, on the other hand, THEY tended toward the reactionary side of the room -
e.g., not clearing SNL until 1979, and even then delaying it by one hour!
I was only 11 when Saturday Night Live first came on, so I wouldn't have missed it anyway, not
being old enough to stay up that late back then. However, it highly annoyed me in the '80s,
having to wait through an extra hour of reruns before I could see SNL. Even on "Miss America"
night, when everything was already an hour behind schedule, they still delayed SNL for the extra
hour. They didn't carry SNL on time until sometime in the mid '90s, but by then, I had lost
interest in it, as had nearly everyone else.
It's interesting to note that they did not carry Later with Bob Costas, instead signing off after
Letterman at 12:30 a.m. Ironically, because of that, they were on the air later on Saturday
evenings than they were the rest of the week.

As for channel 12, any clue as to why they often gave the temps for Dyersburg in their weather
segments, but not Union City? Dyersburg has to be well over 100 miles from Cape! Dyersburg is
only about 75 miles from Memphis, so I'm sure they got their weather coverage from Memphis.
(The Missouri bootheel is usually also covered by Memphis TV stations.)
And on a side note, since Dyersburg also received their NBC from Memphis, that means that
they got to see SNL on time! >

I'm guessing that WKRN was operating under one of their previous sets of call letters (maybe
WNGE?) back about that time?

The Nashville station was WNGE back when Smith and Reasoner were on. It became WKRN in
the 80's.

(The Missouri bootheel is usually also covered by Memphis TV stations.)
I suppose it was a simple nod to the viewers, as KFVS-12 was on Dyersburg's cable for many
years. 12 also had a place on many northeast Arkansas cable providers - as far south as
Paragould at one time. Clay County, I think, is part of the Paducah-Cape DMA .... towns like
Rector, Piggott and Corning received not just 12 but also WPSD-6 along with Jonesboro and
Memphis stations. Pocahontas also had 12 on their cable until well into the '90s.
But the biggest surprise was in early 1994, while in a Paris, Tennessee motel. KFVS was carried
there, too! I was shaving in the bathroom and my then-wife was watching some of the
Olympics ... and my ear caught their ID. Almost cut myself. ;D
It should be mentioned that KFVS' tower, when first built in 1960, at the time was the tallest
structure in the world.

The Courier-Journal's TV listings were indeed a
gold mine for those of us who are interested in
that sort of thing; however, I never understood
why they left out WCHS/8 Charleston/Huntington,
when they listed WSAZ/3 and WOWK/13.
Another paper with extensive listings in its state
edition was The Milwaukee Journal; I remember

its Sunday TV insert having all the Wisconsin stations.

...as did WLUK/11 Green Bay, WKOW-TV/27 Madison, WXOW/19 La Crosse and WAOW/9
Wausau, all in Wisconsin. I'm under the impression (but don't exactly want to be quoted) that
WITI/6 Milwaukee and WLS-TV/7 Chicago ran the second feed at 5:30, against Chancellor and/or
Brinkley on NBC and Cronkite on CBS. I'm also pretty sure that The Captioned ABC News, the
late-night open-captioned repeat on some PBS stations, used the earlier feed before the World
News Tonight era began...

WLS did run ABC News at 5:30, followed by an
hour of local news from 6-7. I don't recall if they
did a 5 PM local news.
When I lived in Dallas (1976-79) WFAA had local
news at 5, ABC News at 5:30, and local news at 6,
followed at 6:30 by "Bowling For Dollars" and, starting
in '78, "PM Magazine."

WNUV would NOT have been included in these listings for, well actually for 2 reasons.
1. WNUV wasn't on cable in the Frederick area despite the clear OTA signal. About a year or two
prior to these listings WNUV ( and Washington's channel 50 ) were part of the Super TV
suscription pay TV service and Super TV for some unknown reason didn't offer the service to
viewers in Frederick.
2. Despite having the Baltimore big 3 and WBFF on cable, Frederick was ( and still is ) in the
Washington market even though there is no shortage of Frederick commuters who travel to
"Charm City" to go to their jobs every day.

Interesting that WBAL pre-empted "Card Sharks" at 10:30am for 'Squares. I wonder how long
that lasted?
I've read about WBFF airing some of the network daytime shows; when did this happen?

No charm in "charm city" anymore.
No irony there.

How did "Benson" and "WKRP" get preference over Johnny Carson?
This goes back to the Fall of 83 when WMAR dropped Carson in favor of Alan Thicke's infamous
"Thicke of the Night". After that show bombed, WMAR picked up sitcoms in the 11:30 slot. My
guess...the sitcoms were doing well enough for WMAR they didn't want Carson ( at the time
anyway ) and/or when WBFF got Carson the contracts made out in 1983 may had stated the
show be with them for a number of years regardless at how well Alan Thicke would do. Come to
think of it I believe TV Guide in 1984 ( maybe it was early 1985 ) had done a story about the
number of NBC affiliates who had dumped Carson alltogether thinking they did the right thing by
getting Alan Thicke. Of course Thicke's show bombed and while some NBC affiliates were able to
get Carson Back within a short time, others had to wait for some time including WMAR.

Keep in mind that while Carson was the national leader for late night ratings, his performance in
local markets can and did vary dramatically. There were a number of markets (especially in the
central and mountain time zones) where sitcom reruns on the ABC or CBS affiliates handily beat
Carson at 10:30 PM. Presumably, some of the NBC affiliates in markets where Carson didn't
perform as well wanted in on the sitcom fun.

Another question: Back in the days of CBS's late-night reruns and movies, were their affiliates
required to carry all five nights of them (if they carried them at all) or was it a night-by-night
deal?

7:35 could be a brief sign-off period -- as we all learned from pas schedules, such is not that

fact that 7:35AM in St. John's is 4:05AM in Edmonton.

Re: Retro: Newfoundland Wed, Dec 1, 1993
If it's 4:05 AM (MST) in Edmonton, it's not too
surprising if the station signs off; it seems that
if a station does sign off it's around that time.
That's rare, however, but it does explain why
the Edmonton station would be off the air,
although 25 minutes is an awfully short time.

Re: RETRO: Birmingham, Ala. Monday 01/12/1970
I don't recall WBRC ever pre-empting "One Life To Live"
on a regular basis. ABC had a series of specials called
"Viewpoint," but those didn't start until 1981. This sounds
like a one-shot, especially given that the 10:30 PM "Viewpoint"
was about someone from Montgomery. Unfortunately, I have
no idea what was doing on "OLTL" that day.
In the early '70s, if WBRC pre-empted any daytime slots they
were noon (for local news) and 1:30 PM (they started running
"I Dream Of Jeannie" and delaying "Dating Game" around 1972);
you can be sure that "General Hospital" (then the number-one
daytime show in Birmingham) and "OLTL" ran in pattern (2-3 PM
at the time).
Dick Cavett always aired on delay in Birmingham; by 1973, when
ABC had switched to the "Wide World Of Entertainment" format,
it was a one-hour delay every night; prior to that, Cavett might

air at 11:30 some nights, midnight others.
The CBS Morning News was a weird one; Ch. 42 took the first
half-hour, while Ch. 13 took the second. Of course, after May 31
that went for naught, since 13 carried the entire two hours (at the
time) of "Today" and 42, the full hour of CBS News.

Yes, typo.

I'm surprised Channel 35 Hazard was included in the KET listing for Nashville. The KET station in
Madisonville, also on Channel 35, is much closer and serves Hopkinsville (part of the Nashville
market).
Maybe that is because the Dukes of [b]Hazard was on at the time!

For that matter, was channel 29 in Paducah on the air at the time? I see a Somerset listing for
channel 29.
I wonder if Channel 35 was a typo. As far as Channel 29 Paducah, I'm not sure if KET signed on
that signal by 1979 but it was around that time. I believe Channel 29 and 35 were the only
redundant KET allocations since they existed on each end of the state.

2 KGNE (ABC)
Obviously, that should be WGNE, as we are east of the Mississippi River.
Actually, WNGE were the calls. (Nashville General Electric)
I didn't catch that, but then again, I didn't live here at the time. But for that matter, they are no
longer owned by Knight-Ridder, are they?
I believe Young Broadcasting owns WKRN.
I remember seeing 35 Hazard listed in the Nashville
edition under Kentucky Educational Television and
thought it was strange, since it was listed in the
Kentucky edition. Now that y'all tell me KET has
a station on 35 in Madisonville I'm wondering if
someone gave incorrect information to TV Guide--
like the same person who spelled Owenton as
"Oeton."
And BTW, it's "The Dukes Of Hazzard" with two "z"s.
It was never established that the show took place

in Hazard, KY.
in Hazard, KY.
A complete name change of a location and/or the act of mis-spelling on purpose is usually the
case when it comes to TV shows ( and even movies ) when set is a small town/county rather than
a major metro area. I assume the purpose of this is for legal reasons. For example the recent
cancelled ABC sitcom with Kelsey Grammer "Hank" was set in the fictional town of River Bend,
Virginia even though it didn't take long for many to figure out that River Bend was really the real
life town of Front Royal, Virginia.

True. I *believe* they bought them directly from Knight-Ridder.
KET didn't sign channel 29 Paducah on.
It was originally commercial WDXR-TV. They sold it to KET. I'm pretty sure it was on well before
1979 but don't have my reference material handy. I want to say it went on in 1971. Don't know
when KET took it over but would be surprised if it hadn't happened by 1979.

That can be true of a metro suburb; case in point, Llanview on "One Life To Live" is actually Bryn
Mawr, PA.
And as for shows set in small towns, I don't care how much Andy Griffith denies it, Mayberry is
Mt. Airy, NC, his hometown.
Pilot Mountain (Mt. Pilot on the show) is only a stone's throw from Mt. Airy, and numerous
references imply that Mayberry
is near the mountains (as Mt. Airy is). However, Siler City isn't that close to Mt. Airy; it's a good
60 miles from Winston-
Salem and another 30 or so from Mt. Airy.

And I "believe" (in fact I'm sure of it) ;D that Young Broadcasting purchased the stations of
Nationwide Communications: WBAY/2 Green Bay, WATE/6 Knoxville, and WRIC/8 Richmond. All
are ABC affiliates, although WBAY was once a CBS affiliate and WATE an NBC one.

One repeated continuity error on "Ange" was all the references to Raleigh,
in terms of watching Raleigh TV for the most part (along with WZAZ-TV
Siler City)--when in order to go from Mt. Airy (Mayberry) to Raleigh you had
to go through the GSO/INT metro first.
Never a mention of Greensboro, although that's the TV market whose signals
probably reached Mayberry.
And it was a bit of magic for the family to fly from Raleigh to El Lay on TWA,
since that airline didn't serve RDU, much less have a nonstop to LAX!

I believe WDXR-TV had left the air by 1979. Don't know when KET took it over.
Young Broadcasting is the only owner of channel 2 (so far) who has not changed their call letters.

Maybe Griffith and company "saw the future" as today Raleigh's airport is one of the biggest in
the south where not only one can fly to EL LAY but even to Paris and London as well and all non-
stop too. Interesting all this growth came at Richmond, VA's exspense when back in the early
80's American Airlines wanted to open up a major hub in that city, but Virginia being, well
Virginia didn't want the growth. Plus many in the Virginia House of Delicates such as Republican
Robert Marshall from Prince William County for example over the years, they wanted keep their
airports except for Dulles & National airports on the conservative side ( as in no flights to
"questionable cities" ) so the city of Richmond and commonwealth of Virginia "suggested"
growth at Raleigh so American Airlines went there instead and then BOOM !!!!! Today coast to
coast flights are an everyday thing in Raleigh & Charlotte while in Virginia, well Charleston, West
Virginia has more non-stop flight options than either Richmond or Hampton Roads. Sad !!
....and Richmond had their share of references on The Andy Griffith Show too. Talk about ironic.

It is strange that Andy & the gang never mentioned Greensboro,
since the best way to get to Raleigh from Mt. Airy/Pilot Mountain
is to take U.S. 52 to Winston-Salem, then I-40 to Raleigh. That
will take you through Greensboro.
It is to laugh at the thought of a television station in Siler City;
all we have is a radio station at the upper end of the AM band.
However, we do get WRAZ, the Fox affiliate in Raleigh.
I believe WDXR-TV had left the air by 1979. Don't know when KET took it over.
Again I don't have my reference material handy but I'm 99% sure WKPD-29 and WDXR-29 are the
same license -- that KET bought it from the commercial owners. (or the commercial owners gave
it to KET...)
Though that doesn't mean it was on the air when it was transferred. The one-year-off-the-air-
and-your-license-is-gone rule didn't exist yet; it could easily have been off the air under the
commercial ownership for 2-3-4-5 years and still had a valid license to transfer to KET.
(one station in Connecticut managed to keep their license valid for 42 YEARS off the air before
someone put an end to their record by turning the station back on in 1995...)

Maybe Griffith and company "saw the future" as today Raleigh's airport is one of the biggest in
the south where not only one can fly to EL LAY but even to Paris and London as well and all non-
stop too.
No El Lay or Paris at the moment, but AA still runs its London/Heathrow flight:

....and Richmond had their share of references on The Andy Griffith Show too.
Such as the record producer who went to Richmond to sell the recordings of
the locals (they thought he ran off with their invested funds).

...I wonder how many syndication affiliates that Harvey still had by this time. I can recall seeing
him during the early weeks of WLRE/26 (now WGBA) Green Bay, around the same time that they
were running The PTL Club weeknights at 8:00 and The CBS Late Movie (refused by WBAY/2) at
10:30...
...BTW, WBAY almost always turned down CBS' late night offerings as early as The Merv Griffin
Show (which was then carried on one-lunk indie KFIZ-TV/34 from Fond du Lac). After ABC pulled
back on The Dick Cavett Show and made it a part of ABC's Wide World of Entertainment, then-
ABC affiliate WLUK/11 dumped Wide World and picked up The CBS Late Movie instead...

In the Tampa Bay area, WTVT carried Paul Harvey weeknights as part of the 6PM newshour, up
through the early-1980s. I also recall seeing WOFL Orlando carrying him as well around this time,
though as a separate program after Independent Network News (I think).

... the recent cancelled ABC sitcom with Kelsey Grammer "Hank" was set in the fictional town of
River Bend, Virginia even though it didn't take long for many to figure out that River Bend was
really the real life town of Front Royal, Virginia.
Incidentally, the new "Cleveland Show" is set in the obvious fictional Virginia town of Stoolbend.
(And that show has not been cancelled.)

This date was also what some of us like to call a "red-letter" day..Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol
premiered on NBC this night..A Book has been written by Animation Producer Darrell Van Citters
about this animated special-The first ever made expressly for Television. A review has just been
published on the Cleveland Classic Media Blog, where the schedule below was copied

Re: Retro:Cleveland/Akron/Youngstown Tuesday, December 18, 1962
I've seen a picture from that "Stump The Stars" show
in Jefferson Graham's book about game shows, "Come
On Down!"
WEWS wasn't the only non-CBS affiliate to carry "Stump
The Stars." WSB, then an NBC affiliate, carried it at the
network-scheduled time of 10:30 Monday (it's one of two
CBS programs I know of that Ch. 2 has carried, the other
being "Do You Trust Your Wife?" in 1956). WRAL Raleigh,
which had just become an ABC affiliate in 1962, aired the
show on delay (I don't remember if it was four or eleven days)
Fridays at 10:30; at the time ABC was down at that time and
WTVD had passed on the show, as had every CBS affiliate in
North Carolina except WFMY.

Anyone find it ironic that the conservative programming channel (26) is airing wrestling at 10
PM? Unless this is a typo; please confirm.
Also, speaking of listings at 10 PM, I'm assuming that the showing of "Cheers" on Channel 52 is
not the sitcom?

26 sprinkled sports in its primetime skeds, they also ran some Devil Rays games as well. And
oddly enough, WCW Worldwide also aired Sundays at 9pm on UPN65 as well...
The 10pm show on 52 should read Prayer, I looked in the wrong place when I transcribed it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...ent_Television (it's Wikipedia, accuracy may be optional).
From what I remember, the shows on NET/America's Voice made the opinion-driven programs
on Fox News look centrist.
"The Daughter of All TV Listings"--part 1
By logic, all parents have children. And so, with that thought in mind, I bring you yet another
statewide newspaper listing, this time in another Southern state, the Magnolia state of
Mississippi. On Sundays, the Jackson newspapers, the Clarion-Ledger and the now-defunct Daily
News published a joint edition prior to the latter's closing in 1989. Included was "Mississippi TV
Magazine," which covered not only the Jackson market, but all parts of the state, as the
newspaper circulated practically statewide.
This first part of the listing is for the Jackson/central and southwestern Mississippi area.
Programs are for Thursday, September 23, 1982.

WB Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain
Oh, dear God... This was a show?
Unfortunately, yes...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinky,_..._%26_the_Brain
A "crossover" almost universally deplored by fans. Yeah, let's take a witty, successful show, and
add the most annoying character from another. That's sure to work...
Even those associated with the show hated the concept (one writer was said to quit over it).
They injected some not-so-subtle hints of their feelings into the scripts, though, and even into
the theme song. ("Now Pinky and the Brain, share a new domain, it's what the network wants,
why bother to complain?")
I hated too...the addition of Elmyra practically ruined it for me. Thankfully, that version of Pinky
& The Brain, I don't believe, has seen the light of day since its initial broadcasts.

Re: Retro: Southern California Wed, Dec 9, 1959
Thanks for posting this, Bluenoser. I grew up in LA, and was 7 year sold in 59. A few
miscellaneous comments.
This was the era of a lot of political commentators - most of them had half hour or even 15
minute shows - just the commentator (talking head) addressing the camera with a world map or
American flag in the background. Most, like Dan Smoot - were right wing conservatives.
Goodwin Knight (6:15 PM on 13)was the Governor of California at the time.
I'm not sure what John J. Anthony (5:05 PM on 9) did on his TV show, but he was a radio staple
(billing himself as "Mr. Anthony") in those days, and his show was a fore-runner of the current
day radio advice shows hosted by psychologists, like Dr. Laura and Joy Browne. His show was
advice to the lovelorn, more than anything.
Travel shows were a staple of KCOP 13 for most of the 60s - I see it was true as early as 1959. It's
amazing that KCOP survived.
As a kid, I watched a lot of the local children's shows...except Chucko the Birthday Clown on
KABC-TV. That guy was truly scary looking (see picture). He died last year at age 86.

Don't mean to nitpick, but in 1959, Pat Brown was the Governor of California. He was elected in
1958 & 1962. In the latter election, he defeated Richard Nixon, which caused him to give his
famous "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore" spiel to the media.
Brown ran for a third term in 1966, but was defeated by Ronald Reagan. >

Your'e right, Nitpicker...I mean, RicoGregg. Pat Brown (father of another former and possible
future Governor Jerry Brown) was a year into his first term. "Goodie" Knight preceded Brown.
Think of how different history would have been if Nixon had kept his promise.

Sidelight about Jack Paar and the Tonight Show the way it's listed here, with different start times
in LA and San Diego...it hints at a peculiar aspect of the show's feed schedule for the first decade
of its run.
The Tonight Show began in 1953 as an hour and 45 minute long show with start time at 11:15
PM ET/PT when it launched as a local New York City show on WNBT with Steve Allen. It stayed
that way through Allen's 1954-57 full network run, all the way through Jack Paar's run, until a
year or so into Johnny Carson's tenure. But after Allen left a lot of people outside the range of an
NBC O&O station no longer saw that first quarter hour.
Only stations that ran 15 minute-long late local newscasts (at that time all of the network O&Os
which took everything the net fed, plus a fraction of the rest of the country) aired the first 15
minutes. That was almost every market during the Steve Allen period. But starting around 1958,
a lot of stations in medium and large markets found local news had become a moneymaker and
started programming a 30 minute late local newscast at 11 PM (or 10 in the Central zone). They
didn't rejoin the network until 11:30 ET/10:30 CT. So Paar did a casual, less produced opening
segment than Allen had done. He would come out at 11:15 and mess around informally with
Hugh Downs and Jose Melis and the band, but no other guests, for the first 15 minutes which
half the country never saw. He held back his main opening monologue until the full network
came on line at the 11:30 re-intro. Looks like LA started the show at 11:15 with the free form
opening chat like any network O&O (same deal in NYC, Washington, Chicago and Philly) but San
Diego joined at 11:30, the way other markets (like San Francisco, Detroit, Cleveland, Boston, all
the Great Lakes cities except Cleveland, and a majority of others) did.
After Johnny started in '62, he never came out for the first 15 minutes of the show, which by
then was only being carried by the O&Os and a handful of affiliates. He'd only come on stage at
11:30 when the full network was on line and he could begin his opening monologue for the
whole country. Ed McMahon, Skitch Henderson and the band filled that first 15 minute chat
segment by themselves. By the fall of 1963 the O&Os were also running a 30 minute late local
newscast. That put an end to feeding the 15 minute opening chat segment with Ed and Skitch on
the network line. They still did that chat after the network stopped feeding it, and Ed and Doc
Severinsen did it after Doc took over the band in 1967. But after '63 it was just a warm-up meant
to be seen only by the live studio audience, for the rest of Johnny's 30 year run. The show itself
then began with the host's opening monologue for everyone nationwide, after the late local
news, the way it still does with Conan today.

"40-Winter Olympics Preview (Otto & Marie Jelinek, 1962 Pairs Figure Skating champs...the
Czech brother and sister pair would later relocate to Canada with Otto commentating figure
skating for CTV for many years)"
They were already emigres to Canada by the time they won the world skating title in 1962...and
never actually competed in the Olympics (which were held in Innsbruck, Austria the following
February). Otto Jelinek later became a successful businessman in Canada and a prominent
Conservative politician. He served in several posts in the Canadian federal government including
Minister of National Revenue under former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney from 1988 to 1993.
He was able to return to Prague after the fall of Communism to set up Central European offices
of a major North American accounting firm., and divides his time between Prague and Toronto
now.

...did WBIR have something against airing a Sesame Street special, by any chance? ;D ...also,
interesting to see which stations ran Juke-Box. It was actually a re-edited (by American
International Television) version of the London Weekend Television pop music (mainly glam rock)
show Supersonic from 1975-77 http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/series/21310 with links edited in
featuring Twiggy. They tried to move a second season of the thing, but Twiggy quit, so they hired
Britt Ekland to emcee and used mostly generic video clips rather than the LWT material...

It does seem strange that WBIR would pre-empt the
"Sesame Street' special (don't know it they aired it
on delay), but the station pre-empted "Wonder Woman"
on Fridays at 8 and apparently wasn't going to give up
the revenue from syndicated reruns of "Gunsmoke" even
for "Sesame Street."

I can't say, since I don't know what you think it is,
nor did I ever see either the program or that station.
It sounds like either "dream matchups" (sort of like
a computer simulation that was done to determine
the best baseball team of all time) or using the computer
to predict the outcomes of Saturday's and Sunday's games. Or perhaps
it's a syndicated show so cheaply produced that few stations
bothered with it. Let's put it this way: on little UHFs like this one,
you never know what might turn up.

I'm trying to remember the Providence News Line-Ups in 1981.
I think the following:
WLNE 6 -- Magee Hickey, Chris Conanglia, John Sweeney (anchors -- 2 out of the 3), Ken Bell
(sports), and Steve Cascione/Brad Field (weather)
WJAR 10 -- Doug White, Larry Estepa, Jack Edwards?? (sports), and John Ghirose (weather)
WPRI 12 -- Walter Cryan and Jim Roberts (6pm), Ann Kellan and Jim Roberts (11pm), John
Flanders (weather), and (?) sports

Did the stations outside Boston actually sign on at 7 AM, or was that the time the Globe started
listing those channels for the day?
Also, "Kidbits" on WMUR - I'm assuming it's Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry, Woody and the like?

8pm - Here Come the Puppets (with Jim Henson and Kermit the Frog)
It wasn't called "Here Come the Muppets" - despite "Sesame Street" and even "The Muppets"
currently on television? Odd...

Apparently, it was Here Come the Puppets . . . not only included Jim Henson's Muppets, but also
such other memorable characters and Lamb Chop and Kukla & Ollie. Henson and Kermit were
the narrators.

Only one of those people is still on the air and that's Chet Curtis on New England Cable News.
For the record, Bruce's last name is spelled Schwoegler.
Who anchored at Channel 7 during this time?

I'll try to answer my own question. This date is still nearly a year away from the ill-fated Dream
Team of Tom Ellis and Robin Young who began anchoring (according to Wikipedia) on September
13, 1982.
According to Wikpedia, previous Channel 7 anchors around 1981 included Susan Banks (81-82),
Susan Burke (81-83), Jack Cole (75-81), John Dennis (sports, 77-97), Bob Gamere (sports, 75-82),
John Henning (77-81), Brad Holbrook (anchor/reporter, 80-82), Harvey Leonard (weather, 1977-
2002), Ted O'Brien (74-81), Bill O'Connel (sports, 82-84).

Not true. Liz Walker produces her own quarterly specials that air on WCVB; Jack Williams still
anchors the 6PM and 11PM news on WBZ; Bob Lobel hosts Sports Legends of New England, a
sports icon interview program.

Man, how'd I forget about Jack? Sorry!
Forgot about Liz too but she isn't regularly anchoring a news broadcast anymore either which
was my original point but I forgot completely about Jack. Neither is Lobel, thank God. After his
disastrous 'guest' morning show role on WODS a few months back, he oughta be retired but
that's another story altogether.
I'll answer my own question. I think that Mike Gorman was doing sports on WPRI, but could be
wrong. At WLNE, the lineup was John and Chris at 6pm (Magee -- live reporter) with John and
Magee at 11pm (Chris -- live reporter).

By the way, for "Kansas Broadcasting System (CBS) - KTVC 6-Dodge City/KAYS 7-Hays/KBSL 10-
Goodland/KWCH 12-Wichita," you never refer to Channel 10. Which channel(s) did it relay
exclusively?
KBSL relayed programming from KAYS.

Hmm...no WAST (13) Albany? '58 is the year they moved to VHF, so surely would have been on
13 by now. I can understand they were probably not listed when they were on UHF (which, in
1950's Vermont, was known as "U-H-what?") but would have expected to see them listed once
they became a more realistic (VHF) option.

I think the WAST's move came a year or so later. WKTV had to move from 13 to 2 and I think that
happened in 1960.

7 Matinee with Sally (like most regional Quebec TV stations, CHLT ran a combination of French
and English programming)
Isn't the practice of "mixing" French and English programming on radio & TV illegal in Quebec
today? Some years back on Reelradio I heard an aircheck from a Montreal AM top 40 station
from the 70's. One minute the jock was talking in French and then he was talking in English..then
back to French...then back to English..you get the idea. Anyway I can recall someone mentioning
in the comments on the site that the practice of "mixing" French and English is illegal and today
if its French..its ALL French, likewise with English.

No "Captain Kangaroo" on WCAX? Shame!
I also noticed that the ABC daytime schedule
is the first attempt by the network to field a
virtuall-all-day schedule from 11 AM (with a
few exceptions over the years, ABC's traditional
starting time for its daytime schedule). Called
"Operation Daybreak" it started in October 1958
and had mixed results:
11 AM Day In Court (made several time changes
but lasted until 1965)
11:30 Peter Lind Hayes (lasted until April 10, 1959)
12:30 Mother's Day (host Dick Van Dyke would like
to forget this stunt show--lasted until
January 2, 1959)
1 PM The Liberace Show (Liberace in a regular
business suit? NO! Lasted until April 10, 1959
1:30 (Local)
2 PM Chance For Romance (John Cameron Swayze,

between anchoring jobs at NBC and ABC, hosts
this show which is either a forerunner of "The
Dating Game" or short-lived entries such as
Dick Enberg's "Perfect Match" or Dave Hull's
"Matchmaker"--psychologists paired up the couples).
According to Wesley Hyatt this show ended on
December 5, 1958.
2:30 (Local)
3 PM Beat The Clock (acquired from CBS and will run on
ABC until 1961)
3:30 Who Do You Trust? (OK, we know all about this one--
Johnny and Ed stayed with it until 1962, went to "The
Tonight Show," and Woody Woodbury and announcer
Bill Nimmo lasted just fifteen months as their successors.)
4 PM American Bandstand (we know about this one, too--cut back
to Saturdays only in 1963, lasted on ABC until 1987, then ran
for a time in syndication with a new host--David Hirsch--until
1989)
5:30 Walt Disney's Adventure Time (the last season of Disney's afternoon
show had the Mickey Mouse Club Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,
and these reruns of the serials on Tuesday and Thursday)

happened in 1960.
The sources I saw pegged the move as 1958 -- the station moved from UHF to VHF, changed
calls, and had its city of license changed from Troy to Albany.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Friday, December 11, 1964

2 PM 2 Bits
2 PM Loretta Young
9 AM B'wana Don
All righty then, bp ...
WSB and WRCB, 2 p.m.: "2 Bits"? Was that a cute name for a homemaker's show? Whatever it
was, it was probably a sign that "Password" (on WAGA) ruled the roost in the Atlanta Nielsens
and that nobody cared for the reruns of Loretta Young's 1950s show. In less than a year, a new
soap called "Days of Our Lives" probably took care of "2 Bits."
WAGA, 9 a.m.: Kiddie show? Sounds like it.
WTVC, 11 p.m.: Wonder how long ABC tried out a late bulletin, a la Canadian and British
television? It's obvious that neither CBS nor NBC had interest in competing, and that ABC affils
were likely ticked off at the intrusion into their time slots, putting them at a disadvantage against
the full half-hour on CBS and NBC stations. Those two factors probably did in the experiment,
certainly no later than 1966. Note that WAII takes a pass on not only that, but the early report
too. ABC would have its hands full getting stations to clear the early evening newscasts for years
to come, let alone trying to get them to cede valuable air time for a late bulletin.

I don't think "2 Bits" was a "strictly-for-women" show;
its host was a man, Charlie Welsh. Probably a talk show.
But I suspect you're right that "Password" on Ch. 5 was
so dominant at 2 that WSB chose not to air Loretta Young;
ABC was down at 2 in those days so Ch. 11 had to fill with
something else: the umpteenth rerun of "My Little Margie."
"B'wana Don" is a kids' show which I think (Tim Lones can
answer this since Cleveland's Ch. 8 was a sister station to
WAGA) all the Storer stations carried.
ABC discontinued its nightly 11 PM newscast in 1965, but
aired late-night newscasts on weekends until 1991. Affiliates
did not like the intrusion; Chicago's Ch. 7, an o&o, resented

having to start its local news at 10:10 (CT), 10 minutes after
WBBM and WMAQ. Ch. 11 probably didn't want to wait until
11:10.
"The Huntley-Brinkley Report" was so dominant in Atlanta in
those days that Ch. 11 dropped Ron Cochran and (biggest surprise)
Ch. 5 pre-empted Walter Cronkite. 11 would carry Peter Jennings
(the first time around; the second time, Ch. 2 was and is the ABC affiliate
from 1980 on), then drop ABC News again in 1968 when Frank Reynolds
took over as anchor (too liberal for the station's owners), not to pick
it up again until 1971 after Harry Reasoner's scolding of the holdout
stations at the ABC affiliates' convention that year.

Didn't The Donna Reed Show start airing reruns in ABC daytime the next week because it lists in
Brooks-Marsh's TV book that the show started reruns in December 1964?

It would have been December 28. "Get The Message" and
"Missing Links" had their last telecasts on Christmas Day;
on Monday (28) "Price Is Right" moved to 11:30 AM, followed
by Donna Reed at 12, "Father Knows Best" at 12:30, and
Tennessee Ernie at 1. That same day a new soap, "Flame
In The Wind" (later retitled "A Time For Us"), debuted in the
2 PM slot. There was no network programming on ABC before
11:30 AM.
Tennessee Ernie's show had its last telecast on March 26, 1965,
and was replaced by "The Rebus Game" with host Jack Linkletter;
it was sort of a forerunner of "Win, Lose Or Draw" but not nearly
as successful, lasting only until September 24; on September 27
"Ben Casey" reruns took over the 1 PM slot.

Steve Conrad anchored the evening news on WDEF-TV 12 Chattanooga during the mid-'60s,
before he ran for, and was elected, Commissioner of Parks and Recreation for the City of
Chattanooga, back in the days when that city had a Commission form of government that kind of
functioned as both legislature and mayor-plus-cabinet.
Marcia Kling [Miss Marcia] started out on WTVC-Channel 9 earlier in the '60s as host of a
franchised Romper Room; when the franchise ran out, Channel 9 converted the show to
Funtime, which was a mix of cartoons and Romper Room-like stuff. Miss Marcia opened each
episode with a brief monologue, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance [just like on Romper
Room, and complete with film of the US flag as she recited it] before going to the cartoon
portion of the program, which, by later in the '60s, featured the likes of Bugs Bunny, Roger
Ramjet, Clutch Cargo and The Funny Company; the Romper Room-like stuff took up the second
half.
Even after Funtime was cancelled in the mid-'70s, when the ABC network premiered what is now
Good Morning America, Channel 9 still kept Marcia on as community affairs director and, later,
as an elder affairs correspondent on their newscasts.
Another Channel 9 staple from the '60s, Upward Look, was an extended version of those
sermonettes that stations would sign on or off with.
Before WTCI-45 signed on as an educational TV [PBS] station in 1970, and perhaps even before
Chattanoogans like myself had to struggle to pull in the Georgia ETV affiliate out of Chatsworth in
the afternoons during the late '60s, I think the Chattanooga school district had deals with
channels 3, 9 and 12, or at least 2 of those 3, for various educational programs weekday
mornings.

That's pretty much correct. B'Wana Don originated out of Storer station WJBK-2 in Detroit..WJW-
8 in Cleveland began carrying the show Monday, January 8, 1962 at 9AM as a partial
replacement for the cancelled movie show "Ernie's Place" with Ernie Anderson, basically hosting
solo since buddy Tim Conway moved to Hollywood.
"Bwana Don" wasnt all that successful on Channel 8, lasting till mid 1963, being replaced by
"Mickey Mouse Club" reruns and eventually by local show "Franz The Toymaker". who would last
from late 1963-Into the early 1970's..

Or it might've been seen in two parts, with the conclusion scheduled for the next day. It was not
uncommon at the time for stations to show films in multiple parts (those who saw WABC's "The
4:30 Movie" (and its variants) would know what I mean).

Re: Retro: Kansas Sat, Dec 5, 1987
Well, it appears "The Rifleman" was popular in all of Kansas...
Did I read correctly, Channel 49 pre-empted ABC programming with the syndicated "She's The
Sheriff" - and then rebroadcast the show later that night?
IIRC, it was 2 different episodes...

Never thought that was possible with an off-network syndicated sitcom at the time...
By the way, as an FYI: Regarding the animated "ALF" program - I believe it was called "ALF-Tales".

Actually, there were two animated "ALF" shows; one, titled
simply "ALF," depicted ALF's life on Melmac as a teenager;
"ALF-Tales" was a segment of that show spun off into its own
show. Usually they aired at opposite ends of the schedule (8
AM and noon) but toward the end, 1990, they aired back-to-back.
"ALF-Tales" was ALF's peculiar spin on famous fairy tales.

I'm also quite sure that the same episode of "Hee Haw" aired in
both Wichita and Topeka that day, although at different times.
Amazingly, in the pre-satellite era, when syndicated shows were
"bicycled" from station to station, the same episodes of "Hee Haw"
and Lawrence Welk aired in every city the same week. (I seem to
recall "Hee Haw"'s stations having a larger window, since the episode
that aired in Charlotte on Friday night had aired in Greensboro and
Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville the previous Saturday; I remember
that by the late '70s Miami was the first market to see the week's
Welk show--on Thursday--and all the other stations aired it on Friday,
Saturday, or Sunday. Earlier in the decade some stations aired it on
Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.)

I'm guessing this parade was syndicated; however, was this live or taped, it seems kind of weird
for a live parade to start at 7 AM Pacific Time(other than the Rose Parade).

For that instance, it's also unusual for a parade to be seen at this time on a non-holiday weekday,
when kids are likely getting ready for school (if not at school).
I would bet that this parade was pre-recorded from Hollywood. (In that case, would this be the
same parade as the Hollywood Christmas Parade?)

the Noon hour or late at night.
When "MH2" debuted in January 1976 WXIA Atlanta carried it at 3:30 PM, bumping "One Life To
Live" to the morning (where it had aired from September 1972-January 1975). But after a few
weeks it was moved to 11:30 PM; reruns of "Dark Shadows" then aired until "OLTL" and "General
Hospital" were expanded to 45 minutes each in the summer of 1976 (11 Alive ran both in
pattern), and ABC's late-night programming was delayed until midnight.

I'm guessing the other stations signed on prior to 7 AM with their own local news, if not an
installment of "This Morning's Business."

KAPP 35 is one of the few, if not very few stations to sign off every night, mainly around 1-
1:30AM, signing on at (I think) 5AM.

This was actually "Fashions in Sewing", hosted by Lucille Rivers.

There was a 1969-1970 syndicated (?) game show called "The Movie Game", though I don't
know if this was the same program.

"The Movie Game" was still in production in 1971 (I think it
ended in 1972) so I also feel certain it's the syndicated show.
By '71 Larry Blyden had replaced Sonny Fox as host; Blyden would
go almost directly from there to "What's My Line?" in 1972.

Interesting to see what KLTV/7 was doing in the late afternoon before the years of the revolving
door of Big Valley (later Star Trek, later Bonanza) reruns (then start over again)... Also interesting
to see the daytime juggling act of that time in print--the earliest TV watching of Ch.7 I remember
was a similar daytime mix (sometime along the way, All My Children came into view, and I don't
remember Ch.7 carrying Somerset the whole time). They had to be doing well carrying LMAD as
there was no local competition at the time (especially any that would carry As the World Turns
opposite it). The juggling act probably got more crazy as most of Ch.7's surviving soap lineup
would slowly go the 1-hour route--eventually making Ch.7 choose ABC as a primary by the end
of the 70s/start of the 80s (I know Ch.7 still had Days and AW in 1981).

If I recall correctly KLTV lost "Star Trek" in about 1984 to KLMG, but got it back in the early 90s,
not too long after TNG went to 5-day syndication. KLTV would run TOS in a late night slot on
Tuesdays-Fridays at 12:05 AM(later Wed-Fri when KLTV finally started picking up "NYPD Blue"
and dumped "Babylon 5" to the 12:05 slot) until about late 94, then dumped TOS and replaced it
with TNG's strip run.

Re: Retro: Northern Wisconsin/Western Upper Peninsula Michigan Sun, Dec 18, 1977
I noticed the movie "Don't Push, I'll Charge When I'm Ready"
on the schedule. That movie was filmed in 1969 and had not
aired prior to NBC's telecast of it on its Sunday-night late movie
on this very date. I bring it up because Soupy Sales (RIP) was
in it, and Gil Fates mentions it in his book about "What's My Line?"
The movie also had Dwayne (Dobie Gillis) Hickman, and Enzo Cerusico
("My Friend Tony," which aired on NBC earlier in 1969). I've often
wondered what happened to Cerusico; I think NBC was high on him
in '69 but his career in the U.S. never caught fire.

I remember Enzo Cerusico as well at that time..."My Friend Tony" was supposed to be his
"breakout series", but it didnt happen..

...this was, of course, the All-Star Wrestling from Verne Gagne's Minneapolis-based American
Wrestling Association. On most weeks, it would simply be a repeat of the same program
WVTV/18 ran the previous day at 5:00 PM. However, on Sundays following a monthly house card
in Milwaukee (which Gagne made sure to always hold on a Saturday night in MKE), WVTV would
invariably substitute Mean Gene Okerlund's Minneapolis-taped interviews with filmed post-
match interview clips from the locker room at the MECCA, sometimes conducted by the AWA's
Milwaukee-based promoter/advance guy Dennis Hilgart...

11:45 Hugh Hefner (Playboy After Dark--guests include
Tommy Smothers, Louis Nye, and Alan Sues--frankly,
I'm surprised this show ever aired in Pat Robertson country)
Why would Hugh and his bunnies be "taboo" in Hampton Roads? After all in 1970 Norfolk and
Virginia Beach had more of their fair share of adult book stores & theatres and topless bars just
like most of major cities had at the time, well after all Norfolk is a Navy town ;D . But as far Pat
Robertson goes in 1970 he was well into his own TV station WYAH to really care about what had
aired on WAVY, WTAR or WVEC or what was heard on WGH or WNOR radio in those days,
actually it wouldn't surprise me if Pat even at this point had ever watched WAVY in the first place
much less checking out the rock sounds over WGH.
Now..had Pat Robertson NOT own WYAH at the time of these listings......

I lived in Virginia Beach from 1966-68 and while I don't

know that Pat had the clout then that he later did, he
had a following; our preacher used to chastise the congregation
for giving to "The 700 Club" instead of our church; I also know
that (a) Norfolk was, at one time, a pretty wide-open town re
prostitution, and (b) Hugh Hefner's show wasn't carried anywhere
else in the South except Atlanta (unless some Florida markets ran
it and I don't know about it).
I just somehow suspect that Pat would have raised a ruckus if he
had been aware of Hef's show being on; somehow I can imagine him
castigating WAVY's management on "The 700 Club," although apparently
he didn't (and Hefner was off the air before Pat got his Atlanta station on).
But maybe, as you say, he was too busy with Ch. 27 in 1970 to notice.
(I also think that the show WAVY carried late Saturday nights when I lived
there, Joe Pyne, would have been a hit with Pat.)

else in the South except Atlanta (unless some Florida markets ran
it and I don't know about it).
I wonder if the then-strict anti-porn laws that existed in the south had played a part as to why
outside of Atlanta & Norfolk for the lack of "Playboy After Dark"? And oddly some of those
"laws" still exist today as Seth Rogen had found out when he wanted to shoot his film "Observe
& Report" at a mall in Alabama only the find out he couldn't use the "F" word in the movie
unless he wanted to be fined by Alabama for each use of that...word thanks to some law that
was still on the books there/was. Seth ended up taking his business to New Mexico instead.
When I saw this on IMDB..I was like "WTF..sorry bout that.

I don't know if "anti-porn" laws had anything to do with it;
Southern stations were pretty conservative, however. But
to show how times changed, ten years later Benny Hill was
getting clearances all over the South at 11 PM or later (I
worked for an ABC affiliate that carried him on Saturday nights
at 11:30) with little or no negative reaction. And despite a
few pre-emptions of "Saturday Night Live" in the beginning
(Chattanooga and Greenville, SC come to mind) it, too, was

running nearly everywhere in the South by the end of the '70s.

WYAH still seemed to be nearly all religious and was only on the air about 8 hours a day even in
1970. I know by 1974, that this station was on by 6:30 AM daily and off the air like at 2 AM. By
1974, they had shows like The Flintstones, Little Rascals, Popeye, Casper, Leave It To Beaver,
Munsters, Star Trek, Dennis The menace, father Knows Best, and others. I wonder what their
schedules were in 1971, 1972, and 1973? Would love to see some of those

Right now I don't have anything later than March 1971 but hope to get my hands on some later
ones after the holidays. You can, however, look at some of my Atlanta schedule postings from
1973 on and see how Robertson was increasingly mainstreaming his programming as the '70s
progressed; I remember in 1976 I wouldn't go to bed until I'd seen Groucho and the
Honeymooners every night, and I'm no particular fan of Robertson or his view of the world--I just
like Groucho and Gleason (and Art Carney) and didn't care what Atlanta station they were on.
Back to Hugh Hefner's show for a minute, I don't think "porn laws" were an issue; since I never
saw the show I can only assume that the combination of Hefner's name, Playboy magazine, and
Playboy bunnies might have scared away more conservative stations, although from the looks of
his guest list it doesn't look any raunchier than Johnny Carson might have had. I'm sure there
were no nude centerfolds. And I notice that no one mentions Ch. 12 in Richmond pre-empting
"The Love God?" on the same night; it's a rarity for Don Knotts, a satire of the porno industry
that was his first movie not to get a "G" rating.
It's also notable that Hefner had already tried this about ten years earlier with a show called
"Playboy's Penthouse," which wasn't much more successful.

I have seen clips of Playboy After Dark on You Tube. Actually the show had more in common with
those famous Playboy Clubs than the magazine itself. Pretty much a cocktail party of the average
Joes mixing with the famous and lots of women in their bunny gear. Miami and New Orleans had
Playboy Clubs, I would imagine Playboy After Dark would had aired there.
I am curious to know if Playboy After Dark had aired in Denver considering what happened at
that city's infamous Playboy Club. The Denver Playboy Club was a very popular hangout of
Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate's. In the summer of 1969 two "bunnies" had died at the club as
a result of an LSD overdose, then came Sharon's murder...all of this made Hugh Hefner to
suddenly close down the Denver Playboy Club and the story I heard was that Hef didn't want his
show to be seen in Denver either. Wonder if he got his wish?

Re: Retro: Flint/Lansing, Michigan Thurs, Dec 17, 1992
Interesting that WZZM-13/Grand Rapids isn't listed in this edition. Like a few stations above, it
was also an affiliate of Rush Limbaugh's TV show. Around Election Day, it advertised a campaign
(Rush ran a spot from this campaign on his TV show) asking which program viewers would wish
to see following the late local news: "Rush Limbaugh, conservative television satirist... [Or] Al
Bundy, all-American shoe salesman"? Eventually, Rush would announce that it was his show that
had beaten out "Married... with Children" reruns for the right to air at 11:30 PM. I would
imagine "Nightline" would then air at 12:30 AM...
2:00
50 Infomercial (but listed as a comedy, whatever that means ;D)
Maybe it was one of those "last minute changes" made by the station, but the entire entry
wasn't completely replaced before going to print... That's what I think happened here...

Re: Retro:Cleveland/Akron/Canton/Alliance, Ohio Thursday, December 19, 1974
"Louisville Schools Report": is Louisville a suburb of
Akron or Canton? That's the only thing that makes
sense to me about a program with that name and this
is not Louisville, KY, nor would anyone in northern Ohio
be likely to care about their schools.
Also, the following Monday would see some changes
in ABC's daytime schedule, with "$20,000 Pyramid" replacing
"Newlywed Game" at 2, "The Big Showdown" replacing "The
Girl In My Life" at 2:30, and "The Money Maze" taking over
"Pyramid""s 4 PM slot. Since WEWS had been carrying "Pyramid"
in the morning, did they do the same thing with "Money Maze"?

BPatrick:
Yes, that would be Louisville, Ohio..WJAN-TV 17's original studio and transmitter were located at
the corner of Reno Drive and California Ave. In Louisville, but just beyond the edge of the Canton
City limits. So 17 would occasionally but not that often) do shows to highlight Louisville..
Re:Money Maze. it seems that 5 carried it in the same slot as Pyramid, but I dont have the
following week's TV Guide listings to check..

There's a Louisville in Alabama, as well (pop. 612 -- sa-LUTE! -- yet, nonetheless, the city of

ville" instead of "Louie-ville." (Which is actually more like a Yankee's rendering of the name of
the more notable Kentucky metropolis -- I believe locals pronounce it more like "Lou-uh-ville."
I'm sure this old transplanted Yankee will be summarily corrected, if needed, by any Bluegrass
State natives -- or linguists -- that happen to be on this forum.....) ;D

The town in Alabama is indeed pronounced "Lewisville";
I think the APT station you're referring to is WGIQ/43.

This was only 3 or 4 months before the demise of WKBF/61 in the spring of '75

Was that Kaiser Broadcasting? I remember their Philadelphia

station, WKBS/48, going belly-up, but WKBD/50 Detroit continues
to thrive under different ownership.

Actually, WKBS, by the time of its 1983 demise, had been run by Field Communications which
took over Kaiser's stations in 1977 - but Field was imploding, and they never got their asking
price for the station. But at the point WKBF was 86'd in '75, Kaiser decided to co-own WUAB
with United Artists Broadcasting - until 1977, after Field acquired Kaiser, and Channel 43 was
sold to Gaylord Broadcasting.

...before Wisconsin Public Broadcasting's WPNE-TV/38 was licensed to Green Bay, the original
city of license was to be Chilton, 2000 population 3,708. WPB had most of its radio stations of
the time licensed to small communities that had no other broadcast licenses (Auburndale,
Delafield, Brule, and Highland were among the others). WPNE's predecessor, WHKW, had been
licensed to Chilton, directly across Lake Winnebago from Oshkosh, and although the studios
were to have been at UW-Oshkosh, Chilton would still have been the city of license. Eventually,
before the CP was secured, WPB decided to move WHKW's city of license, both radio and TV, to
Oshkosh while maintaining the Chilton tower site. Eventually, as things worked out, WHKW was
moved entirely to UW-Green Bay and given the new call sign WPNE before the TV station finally
took to the air in 1972...

Was Channel 61's schedule of B/W shows a result of their eventual shut down in May '75 or did
Kaiser just give up and program the station on the cheap? Channel 43's schedule had a lot more
programs in color. It would be interesting to see WKBF's final schedule and WUAB's new
schedule when 43 and 61 merged.

The majority of WKBF's shows would wind up on CH43 over the following months/years,
including Star Trek, Andy Griffith, most of the H-B cartoons like the Flintstones, 3 Stooges, Little
Rascals, Lucy Show, Beverly Hillbillies, etc.
A few of the older, more obscure and/or B&W WKBF shows wouldn't be seen in Cleveland again
until the 80's when WCLQ, WOIO and WBNX came on the air. I don't think WUAB ever picked up
"I Love Lucy" (they preferred the color episodes of the Lucy Show). And "The Ghoul" wouldn't be
seen in Cleveland after WKBF's demise until the early '80s

I vaguely remember WKBF's last day, but I do recall seeing a Channel 43 promo on Channel 61. I
thought it was unusual at the time as I did not know the stations were merging.
The last show on WKBF was "I Love Lucy" before the station manager came on with an
announcement. I recall that John Herrington, who by then was at WKYC, did a report of Channel
61 going off the air during the next day's news.
Though folks complain about the lousy programming on TV today, could a Channel 61 with its
quirky programming thrive today? Does any station even show The Three Stooges these days?

Even though shows like 700 Club, Jim Bakker, Focus On The Family, etc..from a legal standpoint
do not have a say as to which type of program can air before/after their own shows, whenever I
see listings like these I do have to wonder if any religious program did at least try to go after
some TV station who just happened to air say a show like Benny Hill, Soap or even Ellen right
next to theirs?
I know that during my years of working in religious radio, every once in awhile we had some
churches who did try to..say "get involved" with our station programming outside of their own
shows. I can remember one church who refused to do business with us simply because our FM
sister station played classic rock even though their show would strictly air on our AM side while
another program wanted us sign an affidavit to promise them that only a "straight, white,
married man with children" would board op their show on our station. Needless to say we did
not take their business.

Could this be a predecessor of the Canadian TV5 cable channel? Both versions offer French
programming from the mainland (though the Canadian TV5 also offers Canadian content, as well
as some shows from other Francophone countries).
next to theirs?
Not involving broadcasting, but this sort of reminds me of a current situation at a busy
intersection on US 19 in the Tampa Bay area -- a religious group opposed to separation of church
and state currently has four billboards at this intersection alone with "quotes" from founding
fathers in support of a theology. The area surrounding this intersection has a number of adult
clubs. I wonder in both cases the placement of religious media next to non-wholesome media is
designed to draw people to God?

It is indeed...according to Wiki (usual caution applies), TV5 Quebec Canada replaced TVFQ on
September 1, 1988. TVFQ had been on-air since 1979.

You may be right about that being the reason for such billboards even though sometimes such
things do come with a "twist". Last year in downtown Denver somebody had paid for two giant
sized billboards and their location...well one was between KMGH and KDVR & KWGN and
another was right across the street from KCNC. The billboards had the message "TO: Ken
Slater...please do not film your trash in Denver !! Take your business elsewhere !!". Considering
that Slater, a Denver native is a somewhat well known producer of porn ( I think he was behind
many of Ron Jeremy's movies over the years ), everyone really believed it was Focus On The
Family who paid for those billboards. Even though despite the locations of this billboards Denver
TV simply ignored them however the now defunct Rocky Mountain News and not defunct KOA-
AM radio didn't and it was only then when the "truth" came out. According to the Rocky & KOA
at the time the people who paid for those ads were a pro-gay rights group who felt that Slater's
recent "work" ( gay porn ) would hurt their chances for gay rights including legal gay marriage
Yeah go figure !! :
But anyway those billboards didn't stay up for very long mainly due to the filming of the Eddie
Murphy/Martin Sheen movie "Imagine That" which was being done at the time in downtown
Denver.
Anyway for some reason I seem to remember back in the 80s reading somewhere ( maybe it was
TV Guide ) where WCAX was considering buying a billboard in the Montreal area to target their
TV audiences but the CBC and CTV were against it. Don't remember how the ending turned out
though for WCAX though.

Is there any regulations in Canada banning American channels (other than PBS stations,
approved cable channels and Bellingham's KVOS) from buying ad space on Canadian billboards
or other media in Canada?

"Hebdo" is French for "weekly", hence "TV Hebdo" in English is "TV Week".
TV Hebdo was, and still is, a French-language TV magazine in Quebec -- which still resembles the
TV Guides from the days of yore.

I don't know about today, but I know Buffalo stations (namely WGR and WBEN) used to advertise
in the Toronto Star and the Toronto Telegram back in the 1950s, including after Toronto got its
own station.
I doubt there's any law against it, but more likely the American stations choose not to promote
themselves in Canadian media since that is outside their target audience, aside from stations like
KVOS of course.

Little did a flawless Carson. Johnny loved to tell the story of the first time he heard Rich "doing"
him -- he was in another room where he could hear, but not see, the TV, and his first thought
was, "Why are they rerunning one of my old shows at this odd hour?"

Rich Little would later play Johnny Carson in the 1996 HBO movie The Late Shift.

One of few stations that carried Merv as their prime-time lead in, I'm sure.
...I'm not too sure the number would qualify as "few" -- Griffin's show was seen (and heard, as
he sent the audio track to radio stations in markets where the show didn't get a TV clearance)
around the country in virtually every possible hour it could be scheduled between 8:00 A.M. and
11:00 P.M. Most stations did run it in the late afternoon -- WTMJ-TV/4 Milwaukee and WISC-
TV/3 Madison did so when I was a teenager -- and WNEW-TV/5 New York, WFLD/32 Chicago and
KTTV/11 Los Angeles ran it as the anchor of their prime time lineup...

Re: Retro: Southeast Texas Saturday, December 17, 1977

KPLC Ch. 7 Lake Charles, LA (NBC) (de facto NBC affiliate
for Lafayette)
bp, one of my completely useless trivia questions. This concerns the downfall of KLNI, channel
15, as an NBC affiliate for the "Cajun country" of south central Louisiana. According to the
Broadcasting Yearbooks on David Gleason's web site
(http://www.davidgleason.com/Radio_Archives.htm), that station stopped broadcasting
sometime during 1976, clocking in about eight years from its start in 1968. Any idea why this
UHF didn't make it? Could it perhaps have been because it was surrounded by three strong NBC
VHFs, not only from Lake Charles, but also Alexandria (KALB) and Baton Rouge (WBRZ)? (NOTE: a
year later, NBC moved to UHF in Baton Rouge in 1977, from WBRZ to WRBT, now WVLA).
I have one TVG from 1974 for Louisiana, and KLNI, much like its Lafayette competitors KATC and
KLFY, ran French-language programs for local speakers of the language, but it also ran a full-hour
newscast weeknights at 6. Maybe the station did too much in the way of local programming and
earned too little money--that often undid some idealistic broadcasters during that time period (a
notable exception was WCVB in Boston). The UHF issue was probably more determinative,
however, as it probably made minimal impact on viewing habits shaped by the two VHFs during
the 1950s and 1960s.

I never heard of the station and didn't move to that part

of the country (Dallas) where I could get access to TV Guide
editions for Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and New
Mexico until December 1976. My only previous knowledge of
Louisiana television was seeing WWL, WDSU, and WVUE's schedules
in the Gulf Coast edition when I lived in Alabama a few years
earlier.
However, Lafayette did get a Fox affiliate on Ch. 15, so my guess
is that viewers in the '70s (unless they had cable) would rather
watch a strong VHF signal (like KPLC) than a weak UHF one. I know
that back in the '50s, before UHF was mandated, a lot of people in
Raleigh/Durham watched CBS from Greensboro (Ch. 2) than their own
station (Ch. 28 at the time). Despite the fact that UHF had been mandatory
on sets since 1964, perhaps the same mentality applied in bayou country.

- Little Ole Show was a locally-produced comedy show...its full title was That Little Ole Show That
Comes On After Monty Python. I think "Captain" Harold Gunn was on this show. And yes, KPRC
was one of the few non-PBS stations to show Monty Python (edited, of course, for time and
content).
- Channel 39's call letters are now KIAH. The Saturday night country music shows followed by
rasslin was a local institution. It's also worth noting that The Tom Landry Show was seen in
Houston, while Oilers coach Bum Phillips didn't even have a show till the following season.

The block of country music and rasslin' was also seen on
Channel 39's then-sister station KTVT Dallas/Ft. Worth,
although they interspersed "High Chaparral" (9-10 PM) with
the music and the grapplers. BTW, when did 39 change its
calls (because KHCW is what I saw on Wikipedia)?
I seem to recall from Castleman and Podrazik that KPRC was
the first commercial station in the U.S. to carry "Monty Python's
Flying Circus."

Couple of years ago, around the time the Tribune stations removed "CW" from their branding.
IAH is the Houston (Bush Intercontinental) airport code.

...any idea who did the editing -- KPRC, the BBC, the Pythons themselves or Time-Life Television
(as I recall they were distributing BBC content in the U.S. throughout the '70s, their logo even
being seen as late as 1992 on WTTW/11 Chicago's Sunday night run of Dave Allen at Large)...

...although I suspect the KTVT wrestling was strictly Fritz Von Erich's World Class Championship
Wrestling promotion; Paul Boesch, the Houston promoter, drew almost equally on talent from
the World Wide Wrestling Federation, the American Wrestling Association, and several NWA-
associated regional promotions. I seem to recall he was one of only two promoters in a powerful
enough position to do that, the other being Bob Luce in Chicago, whose late-night wrestling
show was offered at one point by WSNS/44 as a weeknight strip against The Tonight Show
Starring Johnny Carson on WMAQ-TV/5...
Could you please post listings for Wednesday 12/21/77?

You would suspect correctly; KTVT's show
was indeed Fritz Von Erich's, although it wasn't
being called World Class Championship Wrestling
at that point. I remember it being pretty dull,
since his sons tended to win all the time.
At this time, Fritz's promotion was called "Big Time Wrestling"..the WCCW moniker came about
in the early 80s. And Fritz himself was still the top star at this point; his sons had just started
wrestling.

The news aired on KET were closed captioned early evening news from various stations. The

2:30 Search For Tomorrow (shades of things to come--
this would be SFT's last timeslot on CBS)
3:30 M*A*S*H
SFT does not appear to be in pattern--nor does GL--when
compared to the other two CBS affils listed. Also, what about
the 30 min. local hole, was it 12 PM or 1 PM ET then?
Is WKYT doing several "day-behinds" here?
Maybe the simplest question is, what was the Eastern zone CBS
daytime schedule at this time?

At the time the local hole was 1 PM.
The CBS daytime schedule in the Eastern
time zone was:

11:30 Love Of Life
1 PM (Local)
2:30 Guiding Light
3:30 M*A*S*H
4 PM Match Game '78
My guess is that "Another World" was so strong
in Lexington that neither WKYT nor
WTVQ would risk a soap against it ("General Hospital"
aired on a day-behind as well). As far as I can tell,
"GL" was the only delayed show on WKYT that aired
on a day-behind basis; I know, by comparing against
the South Texas listings, that "All In The Family" aired
on a same-day delay, and I would suspect "Search For
Tomorrow" did the same thing.

Wow, that's a lot of (2-inch? 1-inch?) tape machines for a somewhat
smaller market station (#85 circa 1981) to need to do two periods
of daytime net delay...in the Eastern Time Zone to boot. (I wonder
if they used 3/4" U-matic?)
At 2:30 you're recording net for an hour for the day-behind, while at
the same time one tape plays back then a separate tape at 3:00.
That could be as many as four VTRs, unless they didn't backup GL,
or recorded the two half-hours on the same tape(s) earlier and
did a quick recue during the 3:28:57 station break (assuming a :63).

How does WKYT record "Young And The Restless"
for day-behind playback at 9 AM?
Also note that WHAS was airing "Y&R" and "SFT"
on day-behind as well; local news aired at noon,
and Bob Braun was joined in progress at 12:30.
And today, WLKY delays "Y&R" to 4 PM.

Did you mean "WHAS" and "at 9:30 AM"? (WKYT has Y&R cleared
"live" at 12 PM.) More below...
Also note that WHAS was airing "Y&R" and "SFT"

on day-behind as well; local news aired at noon...
As WHAS aired the 12-1 PM ET soaps in reverse order the next morning,
the safest delay setup would use three VTRs: one each for the primary
copies of Y&R and SFT, and one to record a backup of the whole hour.
The "on the cheap" version would need only two tape machines with
both recording the 12-1 hour so you have, in effect, a primary and
backup of each, then play one show from each reel the next day.

No, I'm talking about now, when "Y&R" airs on WKYT at 9 AM
and WHAS is an ABC affiliate.

Re: Retro:Cleveland Friday, December 24, 1948
Didn't Cleveland get the coaxial cable linkup with New York
in early 1949? I mention that because Dec. 24, 1948, is a
red-letter day of sorts: Perry Como brought his radio hit,
"Chesterfield Supper Club," to television at 11 PM on NBC.
At first, the show made no concessions to the new medium;
music stands and microphones were present. But later the
show began to add sets. In 1949 it aired against Ed Sullivan
and was one of many, many shows to die an early death against
the maestro of Sunday night. But Perry's career went on, and
he became even bigger over the years. In fact, here at Christmastime,
I miss his specials.
This might be a good time to wish everyone on the board a happy
holiday, regardless of your persuasion. I'm looking forward to more
give-and-take in 2010.

The Christmas Eve special on channel 4 preempted Adam-12
I'm not surprised, as Adam-12 was in its last season and obviously in a ratings freefall (numerous
other NBC affils tape-delayed it for playback on the weekends). It's also curious that the program
that followed it was the pilot for "Sierra," another Jack Webb/Mark VII show that ran only 13
weeks back in the fall. NBC clearly bent over backwards to help Webb get a hit to keep his
winning streak going, but Emergency!, alas, would pretty much be the end of the line for him.
Webb's semi-documentary style by then was clearly showing its age, and perceived, especially
by younger viewers, as boring and preachy compared to the new breed of cop shows like Kojak,
The Rookies, and The Rockford Files. There were so many crime dramas on the air then that it
was pretty hard to imagine the excitement some felt back in 1967 when Webb brought Dragnet
back. At that time, practically no other show was so straightforward about crime fighting. By the
mid-70s, nearly everything that wasn't a sitcom in primetime was about a private eye or the
LAPD.

Wasn't this John Hambrick's first newscast at Channel 5? Seems unusual to introduce a new
anchor on Christmas Day.

Seems like it was his first night..according to the ad on this blog post I did early in 2008..
http://clevelandclassicmedia.blogspo...-december.html
There's a full page ad on Hambrick stating, in part:
"Tonight, A New Name makes News in Cleveland"
The ad was featured in Monday's (12-25) listings..He could have started just before this, but I'd
have to see the previous week's listings to be sure..

Wasn't Virgil Dominic also doing NBC radio news on the hour
around this time? This is about five years before he moved
to Ch. 11 in Atlanta.
I also note in these listings, as well as some I've posted from
the '70s, that NBC carried the Washington Cathedral service.
Today they're on an ad-hoc network set up by Allbritton Communications,
owners of DC's ABC affiliate, WJLA; in fact I once again observed an annual
tradition and watched it this morning.
But why did NBC stop carrying the service?

Well, considering Dominic had already been anchoring "Seventh Hour/Eleventh Hour" report
since November, 1965, It would seem very likely that he would have been established enough at
NBC to anchor some Radio newscasts from there..

Yeah, I keep thinking he did radio newscasts around
5 PM. I know I'd heard of him before he moved to Atlanta.
BTW, for the four years he was at WQXI/WXIA he was the
highest-paid anchor in Atlanta.

Kurt:
The Christmas Service was listed at 60 minutes..Unless NBC interrupted at 10:25 for a newsbreak
(possible, but not likely)..The 10:25 News listing may be a misprint on TV Guide's part..In any
case, Concentration was probably not shown that day..

I can't imagine NBC cutting away from the church service

for a newscast either. The sermon usually begins about
that time.
Off-topic but on: I never knew Frank Glieber worked in
Cleveland. I always associate him with the Dallas Cowboys
and as sports anchor on KXAS until his death in the mid-'80s.

Here's the Channel lineup, which I neglected to mention in the Original Post:
8-WJW-CBS Cleveland
17 WJAN-IND. Canton
23 WAKR-ABC Akron
25 WVIZ-NET Cleveland
A couple of notes here:
WVIZ-25:All programming was still in Black and White
WJAN-17: After nearly a year, They were broadcasting 4-11 PM weekdays..Saturdays (7:15-10:15)
only for High School Sports and not at all on Sundays..They were also all Black and White
Programming
Glieber took the place of Ken Coleman, who left Cleveland in Spring 1966 to work as a Boston
Red Sox announcer..
A kinda funny story relating to that: Meteorologist Dick Goddard, after moving to Philadelphia
with Westinghouse in June '65 upon the reverse KYW/WRCV swap, decided within a few months
he wanted to move back to Cleveland, being born and raised in the Northeast Ohio area..He had
offers from 3, 5 and 8 to return as a Forecaster..He chose WJW-8 because "They had the Browns"
and he wanted to work with Ken Coleman..Goddard's first day at Channel 8 was March 28,
1966..By the end of April Coleman was gone..So much for working with your idol..

Re: Retro: Southern Alabama--Christmas Eve/Day 1979
WSFA still runs "Days Of Our Lives" at 12:30; I can't
think of another station that starts it on the half-hour.
bpatrick. I think all the stations on central time zone air it at 12:30 so they can air the 12:00
news.
5:30
[3] [4] [8] (20) CBS Evening News--Dan Rather (both days)
Didn't Walter Cronkite anchor the news on Christmas Eve and Christmas? Unless Dan was
subbing, I thought he didn't become anchor until 1981?
I apologize for not mentioning that the info is courtesy of the database of the Vanderbilt TV
News Archives: http://tvnews.vanderbilt.edu/.
Rather was a weekend anchor in the early 1970s, typically on Saturday evenings, before joining
the 60 Minutes team in late 1975. Roger Mudd was the usual weeknight substitute for Cronkite
back then, with Morton Dean occasionally handling the desk.

Hi MStroud, that's a splendid list of programming you did back back in 1979. Asking your help:
pass along a clue where I can find a copy of that PBS Christmas special you aired 30 yrs ago in
1979 -- "The Christmas Songs" featuring host-singer Mel Torme. It was produced by KOCE public
television in Calif. (near L.A.) and was an excellent showcase of Christmas tradition, featuring
Mel, Billy Davis Jr. & Marilyn McCoo (of Fifth Dimension fame), Les Brown & His Band of Renown,
Roy Rogers, The Sons of the Pioneers, and Maureen McGovern. Am elated to discover you
featured this show back then. However, I lost everything in a house fire this Christmas, am very
sad since I cannot see it again. Referrals requested if you can assist with this program search of
mine.

degerardin:
Not to speak for Mike, but just to clarify:Mike only posted the TV Guide Schedule:He had
nothing to do with "programming" the shows at all..There may be others here on the board that
can help you with what you are looking for..Good Luck..

not many stations carried it.

Sadly, this would be their last Christmas...
They were bleeding money. They had no choice but to bail. My second TV job was doing Master
Control at WENH back in the day when everything was done manually. Channel 11 had great
equipment compared to Channel 21.
It's still a rotten shame that it didn't work out. Can you imagine how different TV in southern NH
would be today if channel 21 succeeded as a CBS affiliate? Concord/Manchester - and most likely
Nashua - would (finally) have been designated as its own television market. Later, you might well
have seen FOX and/or NBC affiliates as well. That certainly would have happened once digital TV,
and the subchannels they provide, signed on.
Cable systems in all of NH, save perhaps northern Coos County, would look totally different than
they do now. An opportunity lost.

Interesting to note:The previous night (New Years Eve) Rex Humbard Televised his New Year's Eve
Service-Live-From 1AM-7:45AM-Six hours and 45 minutes-on WJW-TV Channel 8..Very unusual
for that period..for any station to be on all night-for any reason..

Re: Retro:Cleveland Area Friday, January 1, 1960
Tim L, I don't think it would have been all that unusual for Humbard to be on the air all night.
Not when you consider that the televangelist was paying for every minute of that airtime. I can
only begin to imagine the overtime charges that WJW slapped on Humbard's account bill.
I suspect it was an experiment that didn't work--the "Watch Night" services are still popular to
this day among (black and white) churches on New Year's Eve down here in the South, but in
Ohio ... I rather doubt it. Most people up at that hour likely had no interest in watching a
preacher giving sermons on television.

Mike:
I have no doubt Humbard paid for every minute of his airtime..He had a fairly long history of
daily and later Sunday-Only telecasts on WJW..I was just saying that for that era, being on the air
all night was very unusual for any TV station..
Another Note:These days, some churches have "Preaching and Singing" with a meal and
testimonies, etc In the Midwest as well as the South..These can start as early as 7PM and go till
Midnight..Or sometimes let out earlier..
