I didnt know anywhere else to post this, but I figured someone here may have TV Guides, or
even remember... I was living in Philadelphia in 1955-57. We used to watch a TV station out of
Wilmington. They had an afternoon kids show with a man and woman as host. I can't remember
much else, but I would love to know if anyone has any info on the name of the show, or the
hosts, etc.
Thanks.

By the time WDEL sold the TV station, as pointed out, Wilmington had become part of the
Philadelphia TV market (then number 4), although inexplicably not part of the Philly radio
market (although Wilmington is part of the Philly Metro area, according to the Census Bureau).
Independent VHF stations operated successfully in other markets of similar size - or smaller -
during that period but tightwad George Storer threw in the towel. Something's wrong with this
picture.
Keep in mind Scott's article is more than a decade old. He repeats the line put out by Wilmington
media that Philly TV ignores Delaware. Wilmington and New Castle County get more specific
attention from Philly TV than any of the other suburban Philadelphia counties. Not that
commercial TV provides serious news coverage of much of anything but Wilmington gets more
than its share of if it bleeds, it leads stories (thanks to its high rate of violent crime) and the usual
share of feel-good shaggy dog stories. Two stations have bureaus in Wilmington and the other
two regularly send crews.
The "competition" is now owned by Clear Channel and mostly syndicated. Audience shares for
both stations are less than half what they were 10 years ago.
The Steinmanns brought in the vile and viscous Joe Pyne and these coal mine owners still foul
the air in Wilmington with right-wing hate speech.
Still does not answer the original question, though, about a kids' TV show.

Hey bpatrick do you have any TV listings from local tv guides from either Orlando or Tampa-
Sarasota from the mid 90s? (1993-1997) If so, just let me know, and I'd love to see some posted!
32 - WTMV Lakeland (Ind, became WB affiliate in 1995 and changed callsign to WWWB in 1996)
46 - WNPL Naples (Ind, became UPN affiliate and changed call letters to WTVK in 1995)

The CFL games were live on WTOG; however, WAGA, being a CBS affiliate at the time, delayed
the games until Saturday afternoons.

Was Gainesville listed in the North Florida Edition at this time? I'm sure WUFT 5 was
broadcasting, 20 may not have signed on yet though.
The Northern Florida edition didn't come into existence until 1973, but WCJB was in that edition.
In fact, WCJB switched from NBC to ABC about a month after I moved to Tampa.
Prior to that, there was a Florida-Georgia edition, which covered Macon, Columbus, Albany,
Tallahassee, Jacksonville, and Gainesville; WESH was also listed in that edition. Northern Florida
carried all the Jacksonville and Gainesville stations, the CBS and PBS stations in Tallahassee, and
the network affiliates (2, 6, and 9) in Orlando. Toward the end of the digest-size era of TV Guide,
the Northern Florida and Orlando editions merged.
Speaking of such, I'm still wondering if you have any TV listings from local tv guides from either
Orlando or Tampa-Sarasota from the mid 90s? (1993-1997) If you do, just let me know, and I'd
love to see some posted!

BPatrick, thanks for that 1972 schedule -- I'm always thankful for retro skeds that people post
when they can, and are able to carve out time in their busy lives to type them out.
Curious how every CBS station listed here found most of the old sitcom reruns as throwaway
fluff to preempt.
--Russell
Well said, Russell...the example above is borderline trolling, if not outright. Either that, or
someone has too much time on his hands, who the hell knows.
Not related to scheduling, but the 'curious' thing I've noticed is that when the retro listings are
from the era of the original (NBC daytime) 'Hollywood Squares', more of than not, Rose Marie is
not listed(when the listings have room for all nine celeb panelists), despite her longtime status as
a 'regular' panelist.

Channel 20 WXON Detroit from the Fall of 1980 to the Summer of 1983 signed off free
programming at 7 PM weeknights and 5 PM Weekends till the fall of 81, of at which time they
signed off at 2 PM weekends. The station then ran subscription TV programming from a service
called ON TV. ONTV had a format similar to HBO at the time with movies that ended their
theatre runs but not begun their network and syndicated runs yet. ONTV also featured local
sports I believe, games that were not covered on free TV. ON TV shows were scrambled and
viewers needed a decoder box to get ON TV programming. Viewers paid about 15 to 30 bucks a
month to rent such a box and be able to watch ON TV. WXON was one of about 60 stations to get
licensed to run Pay TV but one of 30 to ever use it. WXON did continue general entertainment
free during the day. Some Subscription TV stations scrambled all but an hour a day and ran
nothing for free...44 WSNS Chicago began the WXON type format but in 1982 they went full
time..other stations included channel 52 Los Angeles, 57 Philadelphia, for example. Other
stations kept a couple hours a day of religion and were subscription the rest of the day.
The FCC had to give a station permission to do such a format where programming is scrambled.
One stipulation was that there must be at least 4 full time commercial television stations on the
air in market before one can be Subscription TV. In 1977 when they first granted STV licenses to
both new and existing stations, a station had to run at least 28 hours a week of unscrambled
shows. But in 1982, STV stations were permitted to scramble full time. Initially, Subscription TV
held its own in larger markets but as Cable became available in the inner cities, people began
dropping services like ON TV. STV stations peaked in the fall of 1982 at about 32. Then bit y bit
most stations flipped to general entertainment in most cases. A few flipped to Spanish stations.
A handfull of these stations went with Home Shopping formats eventually. But most are now
general entertainment stations.
WXON ran ONTV from 7 PM to Midnight and repeated the programming from Midnight to 5 AM
on weekdays. In 1983, WXON dropped ON TV and became general entertainment full-time again.
By the way WGPR 62 Detroit also had a STV license but never used it.

Jeez - I forgot about the ON TV in Detroit. I have long been aware of Chicago's subscription
service.
And that's probably my first set of listings featuring WXON during the ON TV period.
One more thing: I did check the Windsor Star from the same time period (of that week) and they
did include some of the ON TV listings.
Many, many stations! I bet some of them can't be seen on cable within 40 miles of Toledo today
-The Big 3 Networks had 12 soap operas. Now have 4. I was a huge CBS guy and liked Capitol.
-I would watch The Scene to see the latest dance moves. Plus my older sister's ex-boyfriend
would be on there a lot.
-As a 15 year old boy, I woke up watching Great Space Coaster and went to bed after Benny Hill.
The next day the neighbor kids would discuss Benny's show and all of the lingerie shots.

How odd that WKYT delayed The Waltons to Saturdays at 5pm. Anyone know if this was a one-
off or their usual schedule?
At the time WKYT carried a movie at 7 PM Thursdays, making a double feature with the CBS
movie at 9. Also remember that "The Waltons" struggled through its first (1972-73) season, not
cracking the top 20 until summer 1973; Flip Wilson still dominated the Thursday 8-9 slot in the
1972-73 season. I suspect that once John-Boy and company began moving up ("The Waltons"
finished second behind "All In The Family" in the 1973-74 season, resulting in Flip's cancellation
in 1974), WKYT began airing "The Waltons" in pattern. But in the summer of 1973 Saturdays at 5
was the regular timeslot for "The Waltons" in Lexington.

42 Louisville, I guess that was their first Independent station. What year did it debut? I doubt it is
Independent today. Does Louisville have any Independent(s) in 2014?
Fred Silverman, who was the head of programming at CBS at the time, said in his Archive of
American Television interview that when "The Waltons" was announced as a series, many
affiliate managers thought CBS was nuts for putting a show like "The Waltons" up against Flip
Wilson. Silverman stated that CBS had a tough time maintaining its clearances for "The Waltons,"
as many affiliates wanted to preempt it. Silverman didn't say how many CBS affiliates initially
delayed or outright preempted "The Waltons," but WKYT was obviously one of them.
Silverman also stated that CBS' philosophy in regard to "The Waltons" vs. Flip Wilson scenario
was that if CBS was going to get killed in the time slot, at least CBS would die with dignity.
It's Channel 41 and I think it went on the air around 1970 or '71. It's Louisville's Fox affiliate
today. I don't think there are any independents; Channel 21 is ION, Channel 34 is (I believe) the
CW, and Channel 58 is with MyNetwork (somebody correct me on these). And as you probably
know, Channel 11 is the ABC affiliate; Channel 32, CBS, a switch that was made in 1990.

No one will ever know for sure, but one thing that possibly helped was a print campaign in the
major newsmagazines, the New York Times, and the Washington Post in late 1972 (I remember
seeing this ad in Time in December of that year) on the part of CBS titled "Save The Waltons,"
urging people to give the show a try. Whatever effect the ad had, the ratings began to build in
the "second season," and the show cracked the top 20 in the summer of 1973.
The biggest loser, lest we forget, was "Mod Squad" on ABC. In 1971 the FCC had granted ABC a
waiver of the access rule to keep it on Tuesdays at 7:30/6:30, but that waiver was not renewed
for fall 1972 and "Mod Squad" was moved to Thursdays at 8/7. It was probably hopelessly dated
by that time anyway, but the show was canceled at the end of the 1972-73 season. I remember
the ABC affiliate in Tampa/St. Petersburg pre-empted it for movies from 7 to 9 on Thursdays.
I know The Waltons wasn't an out of the box hit, but I guess I'm surprised that Lexington would
be the one to preempt it. Wouldn't have raised my eyebrow in a large, urban market. I thought it
probably performed much better in the smaller, more rural markets, and it seems like the type of
series that would appeal to Kentuckians. As a Southerner, I guess I'm exposing my prejudice. I'd
love to know what kind of ratings it got on Saturday afternoons.
And although it wasn't a top 20 series for its first season, it performed much better than CBS
anticipated. Somewhere I have an article reporting that CBS hoped it would at least get 10% of
the audience, and it averaged 15-20% from the beginning. There was also a spike in the ratings
during November 1972 where it landed in the top 30 for one week, and that prompted CBS to
give it a full season order.
I find it hilarious that CBS went through its rural purge only a season before, and its next great
hit would be another rural show.
42 Louisville, I guess that was their first Independent station. What year did it debut? I doubt it is
Independent today. Does Louisville have any Independent(s) in 2014?
That's WDRB, Ch. 41, which is now the Fox station in Louisville.
I don't think there's any question that "The Waltons" had a strong appeal in Kentucky and the
rest of the South; I remember that WGHP, then the ABC affiliate for Greensboro/Winston-
Salem/High Point, would delay "Welcome Back, Kotter" so as not to go againt the Walton clan on
WFMY. And WBTV Charlotte and WSPA Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville would delay the show a
week and air it at 7:30 so as to get a half-hour's head start on ABC and NBC and thus secure the
night (they used 8:30 as their access time on Thursday night).
It does sound strange that CBS had just gone through the "rural purge" and yet put this rural-
appeal show on, but Fred Silverman insisted it be made into a series after he saw "The
Homecoming," the 1971 Christmastime made-for-TV movie that introduced the Walton clan. He
did, however, see the focus being on John-Boy, and only Richard Thomas and Ellen Corby, of the
main actors, were carried over to the series (Andrew Duggan was replaced by Ralph Waite as
John Walton, Patricia Neal by Michael Learned as Olivia, and Edgar Bergen by Will Geer as
Grandpa), which eliminated the need for some high-priced actors.
The CBS 1972-73 season was one of those that programmers kill for; four of its new shows
(besides "The Waltons," there were "M*A*S*H," "Maude," and "The Bob Newhart Show")
became long-running hits ("Barnaby Jones" debuted in January 1973 and also had a long run);
"Bridget Loves Bernie" made the top 10 but was canceled for a couple of reasons: (1) some
negative reaction to a Jewish-Catholic marriage, and perhaps more importantly, (2) a mass
tuneout Saturdays at 8:30; "All In The Family" at 8 was attracting about 50 million viewers, Mary
Tyler Moore at 9 had about 40 million, but "Bridget Loves Bernie" had about 30 million. A new
show in the hammock (between two established hits) should not squander 40% of its lead-in's
audience. The next year "M*A*S*H" was in the 8:30 slot but the dropoff was not as drastic:
1972-73: All In The Family 33.3 rating average for the year
M*A*S*H 25.7
And as we know, "M*A*S*H" never looked back from then until it ended in 1983.
And even better for CBS, it had nine of the top 10 shows in 1973-74; "Sanford And Son" on NBC
being the exception; Jim Aubrey had pulled off the same thing ten years earlier, with "Bonanza"
(NBC) being the only non-CBS show in the top 10 (this was before his scheduling of three flops
produced by his buddy Keefe Brasselle).

I should add my guess that WKYT, in putting together its 1972-73 schedule, was aware of Flip's
dominance of the Thursday 8-9 slot; also, CBS had had no luck in that timeslot the previous year,
losing first with "Bearcats!", then with "Me And The Chimp" and "My Three Sons" (on its last legs
anyway). To Channel 27 it must have been like all those ABC stations that pre-empted the first
two hours on Friday nights in the late '60s (before the "Brady Bunch"/"Partridge Family" combo
changed the network's fortunes on that night) in favor of movies.
Interestingly, the logic behind the scheduling of "The Waltons" against Flip (that it would appeal
to an older, more rural audience) was duplicated to a point in 1978 when CBS put "The Paper
Chase" against "Happy Days" and "Laverne & Shirley," only this time CBS was hoping for an older,
better-educated, and more upscale audience. Not enough people seemed to care about a bunch
of clever, occasionally-backstabbing law students nor their cultivated professor (I don't care, no
one but John Houseman could play Kingsfield), yet "The White Shadow" plowed similar ground
more successfully (again, I think viewers related to a high-school basketball team and Ken
Howard seemed more like a regular guy than Houseman).

The 1972-73 season will always hold a special place in my heart as that is the first TV season I
recall very clearly, and was no doubt the impetus for my lifelong interest in television
broadcasting. Recently I discussed with a friend the fact that I literally grew up with MASH. It
debuI remember Bridget Loves Bernie quite well and all of the controversy surrounding it,
though at the time, the religious conflicts went over my head. To be a naive six year old with no
prejudices again...
As for WKYT, I imagine it was also a matter revenue. By preempting The Waltons, running one of
their movies, and selling local ad time, it was probably more profitable for the station than
clearing a series everyone believed to be doomed.
I did some research last night, and the curious thing about The Waltons was the inconsistency of
its ratings that first year. It debuted in 46th place. The following week it dipped to #58 of 62
primetime series. In November, it tied for 22nd place one week. After that, its Nielsen ratings
vacillated wildly between a low 15 rating and a high of 19. The first time it beat The Flip Wilson
Show was March 1, 1973. That week, The Waltons tied for 11th place in the weekly Nielsens,
with Flip coming in at #14. Three weeks later on March 22, The Waltons beat Flip again.
According to the article I read on Google News Archive, CBS renewed the series based on its
successful March performances. From what I've read, the ratings became far more consistent
during the summer reruns, where it finally ascended to a certified hit. Now I'm curious if those
March episodes were first-run eps up against reruns of Flip...

That's how I feel about the 1979-1980 season. That's the first one I can vividly remember things,
too, and I had turned 5 that October. Among the things I remember:
* "Happy Days" being replaced by "Laverne and Shirley" in the ABC daytime lineup (this
happened in April of '79 but I vividly remember the "Happy Days" reruns too)
Also, 1979 was also the year that arguably the biggest hits of the '70s finally hit syndication - "All
in the Family", "M*A*S*H*", and "Happy Days" all got the 5-day-a-week strip. Equally fascinating
to me was "Happy Days" getting "again" added to the title for syndication..

WDRB signed on in 1971. The original owner had a choice of allocations in other cities but chose
Louisville since WLKY paved the way for UHF viewership. Channel 21 signed on in the early fifties
at WKLO-TV but ceased operations like many early UHF attempts. The current Channel 21 signed
on in the early eighties. Channel 34 also signed on in the early eighteis serving southern
Kentucky from Campbellsville. It became a Fox affiliate then moved the antenna as close to
Louisvlle as possible to be the market's WB affiliate, now CW. Channel 58 appeared in the
nineties.

By 1974, CBS knew M*A*S*H could succeed without needing Archie Bunker as a lead in, so they
moved it to Tuesday...where it gained two ratings points, even though it was 'down' to 5th place
after being fourth the year before.
However, CBS decided that something called "Paul Sand in 'Friends and Lovers' " deserved the
post-AITF slot. In retrospect, we wonder, 'Who the heck was Paul Sand, and why did he deserve
'above the title' billing?' I have no idea if CBS thought sand was another 'up and coming star'..or
if they were just holding the spot until 'The Jeffersons' was ready to go. Since the sand ran out of
Paul's hourglass(oops, wrong network!) in January, the network probably had no long-term faith
in the show, anyway.

There are some interesting aspects to the WKYT/WYMT relationship. For instance, WKYT does an
hour-long newscast at noon; WYMT picks up the first half-hour of the Lexington newscast, then
airs "Young And The Restless" and "Bold And The Beautiful" in pattern at 12:30 and 1:30
respectively; WKYT carries "Y&R" at 1 and delays "B&B" to the following morning at 10:30.
WYMT does its own 4, 6, and 11 PM newscasts but carries WKYT's 5 PM news. And WKYT carries
"Wheel Of Fortune" and "Jeopardy!" from 7 to 8; WYMT does not. There's yet another Gray-
owned CBS station not too far away, WVLT in Knoxville, but I'm not aware of any other
connection to WKYT/WYMT.
We have a similar relationship between WRAL and its sister station in Wilmington, NC, WILM.
WILM's schedule is independent of WRAL's, although both are CBS affiliates (example: "Y&R" is
on WILM at 12:30 but at 4 PM on WRAL), but WILM carries WRAL's newscasts (except the 12:30
PM one). WILM, however, substitutes its own weather segments to more accurately reflect the
forecast for New Hanover and Brunswick counties.

Not at the time; WKYT has been carrrying "Y&R" at 1 and "B&B" at 10:30 for only about two or
three years. In 1999, WKYT was carrying Oprah at 4 and starting its newscast at 5. I do seem to
recalll "Y&R" airing at 9 AM on WKYT in the '90s or early 2000s; the station did an hour of news
at noon and then had reruns of "The Nanny" at 1.

Except for Manchester's WMUR-9 (which I don't think got color studio cameras until 1973 and
was shooting black-and-white news film as late as 1977!), the stations listed here had gone to
local live/tape color, except for the old WHDH-5, which already had converted, by the end of
1967.

I'm just going by what the Globe had listed. I have no doubt that most stations were doing studio
shows in color by that point.

Although the call letters of Channel 38 were still WIHS, didn't the FCC approve the purchase by
Storer Communications and that Storer was already owner of the station by this time??
I believe that WSBK still carried in-school programming from the Boston Catholic TV Center on
weekday mornings until around 1969. That might have been a condition of the sale (I believe the
Catholic TV Center activated an ITVS system to connect the schools circa 1969 and thus no
longer needed over-the-air TV for their morning in-school programming).

Storer made the deal in early April and it was approved by the FCC at the end of June. The sale
was finalized on August 24, and the call letters were changed on October 16, 1966. (All per the
Boston Globe archives.) I have no idea why it took almost 2 months to change the call letters.

Different situation perhaps. but Westinghouse had taken possession of WTAM Radio and WNBK-
TV in Cleveland sometime in January 1956 but did not make the call letter changes to KYW-AM-
FM-TV until Noon Monday, February 13, 1956..I have airchecks of Id's that say "Westinghouse in
Cleveland WTAM-AM and FM" as well as WNBK channel 3 Westinghouse..

Interesting that Boston wasn't carrying Dark Shadows, and you had to watch it on Channel 9,
Manchester. My earliest memories of the show were Channel 7. Anyone know when they started
airing DS?
I also remember the Uncle Gus show on WMUR Channel 9. Gus Saunders, the weatherman was
the host. He showed cartoons, had an in studio kids audience. Sometimes you'd see the weather
map off to the side of the set! He would invite kids to come up and sing. 9 out of 10 times, they
would sing "Jingle Bells". (Even in the middle of the summer!) Great memories.

Channel 7 (WNAC-TV) began airing "Dark Shadows" on January 13, 1969 @ 4:00 PM. The show
was beginning to become VERY popular by that time. Many people would set up special
antennas just to watch DS from WTEV/6, WMTW/8 and WMUR/9. WSBK/38 used to air DS but
on a delayed basis on black and white film. It looked grainy and awful.
As for Superheroes.... the local inserts were live and in color "04:30p Superheroes (Marvel
Superheroes; WNAC had the voice actor for Captain America appear in costume to introduce the
episodes)", it was one of few local color shows on Channel 7 at the time. Eventually, by early
1967, most local shows on Channel 7 were in color. For a while in '67, Superheroes ("Captain
America") was on 90 minutes on Saturdays.
According to TV Guides of the late 60s it seems that Dark Shadows bounced around a lot. At
times WSBK aired it in pattern and then on the previously mentioned kinescopes. (You would
have thought that Storer would have equipped them with videotape by that time for playback.
One Life to Live was also aired that way.) At other times both WNAC and WTEV would air it in the
mornings.
Now that you mention it, I DO remember seeing DS on 38 and wondering why it "looked like
that".
Storer made the deal in early April and it was approved by the FCC at the end of June. The sale
was finalized on August 24, and the call letters were changed on October 16, 1966. (All per the
Boston Globe archives.) I have no idea why it took almost 2 months to change the call letters.
There's a good explanation for this: back then (and well into the 1970s, if not the early 1980s),
call changes had to be approved not only by the FCC but also by all of the broadcast stations
within a certain radius to make sure none of them saw a potential for confusion. That process
took some time, since a notice of the requested new calls had to be mailed out to all of the
neighboring stations and a waiting period had to elapse for objections to be filed.
I know that local color programming in Boston began with the old WHDH when it began
broadcasting in November of 1957. Does anyone know when WNAC-TV channel 7, WBZ-TV
channel 4 and WGBH-TV channel 2 were able to do the same?
You mean something like this...?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uncu86QUEoE
I'm a bit too young too remember kinescopes, but I'm wondering if in kines, local stations edited
out promos for shows that would've already aired, the way some affiliates did in the 70s and 80s
for tape delayed shows.
I'd bet rather than going to the effort of editing, they just hot-switched to a slide/audio cart
promo for another show.
I was going through my old magazines to sell some on eBay and happened across a TV Week
from Australia. This is from 35 years ago. I don't know if anybody is interested, but it was a quick
copy to type up. Hope someone enjoys it.

Did 41 Paterson and 47 Newark last as Spanish stations, or are they something else today?
They are still Spanish today. Ch. 41 is owned by Univision(the former SIN) and Ch. 47 is owned by
Telemundo(backed by NBC).

WFSB sure was in preemption mode. The station was preempting 2 1/2 hours of CBS daytime
(including "The Price Is Right" and "The Young and the Restless"), plus the "CBS Late Movie."

What a impressive lineup these stations had to offer back in 1979.

At this time in history I was living in or around Utica, N. Y. We had a 12 channel cable system. We
got the local affiliates and the three indies from N. Y. C. one HBO channel, and CKWS from
Kingston, Ont. (plus a black & white camera that scanned weather condition meters.) It cost
about $11 a month. I would take that anytime over the 500 channels + that I get now. Much
better programming and variety.

I thought so too, Steve. I was also kind of surprised that WCBS didn't clear CBS daytime in
pattern.
They were running the syndicated 'Match Game', as a replacement for the very-recently
departed CBS version(I think it was even the same time slot).
Except for one thing - the syndicated version wouldn't premiere until that September (not
counting "Match Game PM", which was already running on WABC). I've seen this listing before
and have always wondered what exactly was running in the slot - old MG'79 episodes, or did
they happen to be able to get a jump start on the syndicated version?
I'm wondering which incarnation of To Tell the Truth was being aired on Channel 11. The 70's
version ceased production in '78, and the Robin Ward version debuted in '80.
According to Wikipedia [sic] - "Some markets that added the series after its 1969 release opted
to carry the show for another season or two in order to catch up on the episodes that had not
aired in their viewing area."

IIRC, the CBS O and O in Los Angeles also ran MG during the summer of 79. There were a few
shows that did not run on the network at the end of the network run. Perhaps they cobbled
together a rerun package. To the OP: Did TVG give a panel for Match Game?

08:00 Dancing Disco [Debut] (Randy Deats and Vicci Lamb in 1st of 8 part series)
"Disco Demolition" happened on July 12, which would be 6 days later, I guess the night before
the 2nd episode of this was aired.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xsrz-6U_hc
It was interesting to see the listing for Stanley Siegel on channel 2. He originally was on channel 7
in the same time period. I loved his show. He was a great talk show host and then he just
disappeared. He should have gone up against Carson. Anybody know what happened to him?

No. I checked all five days' listings from TV Guide, and no panel was listed for any of them.
WNEW Channel 5 ran a series called Bedtime Stories at 11pm. In TV Guide, it's listed as a
comedy. Does anybody know anything about this show? I did a Google search and couldn't find
info about. At 11pm it couldn't be a kids show. I'm assuming it was some sort of raunchy
syndicated fare, or at least what might've been considered raunchy in the late 70s?

Thanks, hburgpa! Despite being a teenager and tv fanatic in '79, I've never heard of this show.
No wonder I couldn't find it. I was Googling "Bedtime Stories the comedy" and getting
something much more recent. This looks like it was one of the biggest bombs in game show
history. I wonder how many markets cleared it (or few as the case might be)?

You're welcome! I can tell you in also doing some google searches I came across an ad for it for
WNEW-TV 5 in NYC, so I know it at least ran there. I'll have to look at some of my old TVG's...
Except for one thing - the syndicated version wouldn't premiere until that September (not
counting "Match Game PM", which was already running on WABC). I've seen this listing before
and have always wondered what exactly was running in the slot - old MG'79 episodes, or did
they happen to be able to get a jump start on the syndicated version?
I could have sworn that somewhere I'd read about an afternoon syndicated version that aired
around 1977.
Perhaps in some parts of the country MG PM may have aired earlier in the afternoon, but in 77,
besides MG PM, MG '77 was the only other MG in town. MG '77 *did* air in the afternoon in '77
@ 3:30pm (EST), but, in the move some say was the beginning of the end for it, moved it to
11:00am in November.

I guess 20's listings weren't carried except for prime time. Pre-GMA on ABC, NBC had the
morning show market to itself. Still had the 1PM Movie with Bill Kennedy on 50 and the 4PM
Movie on 7. TV was better then.

WJBK-TV never did take the CBS Morning News (at this point a hard news show anchored by
Hughes Rudd) in any of its incarnations (Morning, This Morning...). Shortly after this, they did
expand their local morning news to a full-blown local morning show and it did quite well. Other
Storer stations did the same.

I had forgotten that Jack Paar came back to late nights, doing a show on ABC at 11:30pm
opposite Johnny Carson, who replaced him on the Tonight Show. As with all the attempts to
compete with Carson, this one failed as well. Was syndicated Arsenio the only successful late
night show to compete with Carson, or was Leno already doing Tonight and Letterman on CBS by
the time Arsenio premiered?
Nobody stayed on all night, even though Detroit was a major city back then, with shift workers
from the auto factories working all sorts of hours. WJBK-TV 2 ran two movies after the 11pm
news. WDIV and WXYZ-TV did a newscast at 1am, then went off the air. At least one station in
NYC, LA and I think several other cities stayed on all night.

Depends on how you define success. Hall ran in syndication for a little over five years. Dick Cavett
ran on ABC for six years. Joey Bishop (with Regis) ran two years and about eight months. But
Nightline ran for 25 years.

Arsenio debuted in 1989, around the same time as Pat Sajak's short-lived CBS show (I remember
WAGA, then still a CBS affiliate, carrying Arsenio instead of Sajak). Letterman was at NBC then;
he didn't move to CBS until 1993. Leno replaced Johnny in 1992.
Re WJBK's pre-empting CBS's morning show; they eventually began airing "Captain Kangaroo" on
a day-behind at 7 AM and put "Good Morning Detroit" at 8. I also notice a major scrambling of
CBS's daytime schedule in 1973; I wonder if that practice ceased after CBS pulled KXLY Spokane's
affiliation for rearranging the network's schedule to suit itself (WKRG Mobile used to do that
with CBS's primetime schedule, but not the daytime schedule, a practice that ceased after KXLY
lost CBS). I know that, for one, Donahue was moved to 9 AM in Detroit later in the '70s.

Not true, Fred. By 1983, when Diane Sawyer was hosting the CBS Morning show, WJBK was
airing it. It carried them before flipping to Fox in 1995. When they started carrying it (if it was
before 1983), I'm not sure.

I'm surprised that Paul Dixon wasn't airing on Channels 2 and 4; I thought his show was carried
on all the Avco stations in that part of the country (Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Indianapolis)
but not in Atlanta, where WLW-A (now WXIA) was still owned by Avco in 1961.
It was about that time that Dave Garroway left the "Today Show," following the suicide of his first
wife. He made a few subsequent attempts to get back on network television, without success,
and eventually committed suicide as well, in 1982. He was, like Arthur Godfrey, a unique
personality whom the times passed by.
Interesting you should mention Godfrey - I recall reading an interview with Jack Lescoulie, who
as you probably remember was Garroway's (and later, for a time, Hugh Downs') sidekick on
Today, saying that the two best commercial pitchmen (and he meant this as a supreme
compliment) on television were Godfrey and Garroway.
NOTE: Coverage of the House Impeachment Committee hearings may pre-empt regular
programming on some channels. IIRC, it was only a matter of days later that the committee
handed down three articles of impeachment against President Nixon; his resignation was
effective August 9.

the late 1980s (time period 1985-1989)

think; the 4th of July, sports, news, Sullivan vs. The Palace, and more!

I noticed Amos 'n' Andy airing on Independent 11 WTCN at 12:30 am. I'm surprised. I thought by
1965 no one aired Amos 'n' Andy, especially in a northern market. Growing up, I sort of
remember Amos 'n' Andy repeats airing in the early 60s... I remember seeing one episode where
someone buys a house but it's only a frame. There's nothing once you go through the front door.
But by the time I really remember TV, including Independent Channels 5, 9 and 11 in NYC, Amos
'n' Andy was no longer airing.
I haven't taken the time to actually pinpoint when Amos 'n' Andy disappeared completely from
Minneapolis/St. Paul, but it aired variously on WCCO (Channel 4) and WTCN (Channel 11) at least
through 1965. I'd think that by 1967 it was gone, but that's just a hunch on my part, not due to
any review of the listings. (I could easily be proven wrong there!) But yes, whenever it left the air,
at this point it didn't have long to run.
I think "Amos 'n' Andy" was still on in Chicago in 1966 when CBS pulled it from syndication.
On a different subject, I noticed in the guest list for "Shindig" the Stoneman Family (Roni, as
many of you know, was a longtime regular on "Hee Haw," best remembered as Ida Lee Nagger); I
know they did some network guest appearances (Glen Campbell, "The Hollywood Palace," "The
Tonight Show" one night when Jimmy Dean was subbing for Johnny), but I suppose their
appearance on "Shindig" was due to the fact that in '65 they were as much a folk-rock group as
they were a bluegrass one. I've mentioned this before, but I wouldn't miss their late-'60s
syndicated show; I had a crush on Roni's older sister Donna, who I still think was blessed with the
looks among the Stoneman girls (believe it or not, Donna is 80 now; Roni is 76).
Odd, the MN state edition lists two Wisconsin stations (WKBT-8 La Crosse, WEAU-13 Eau Claire)
but not the CBS for southern Minnesota, KGLO-3 Mason City. But at second glance, KROC-10
Rochester and KEYC-12 Mankato are missing, so maybe this is a "best of" listing. I'd imagine
putting all the listings in would get a little tedious.
Also notable is the famous, at least locally, "Bedtime Nooz" on WCCO. Weekend Update before
there was a Weekend Update.
Ah, loved the Bedtime Nooz. It's only listed in the guide as "News," but I can't resist letting
people know what it REALLY was.
You're right - it is mostly a "best of" - which reminds me. Every so often I used to rotate the
stations I covered, just to give it some variety. Methinks it's time to do that again. In a couple of
weeks we'll be looking at an issue from the '80s, which will be a perfect chance to change things
up a bit.
This week, What's My Line? continues "The Great Woman Hunt" to replace the late Dorothy
Kilgallen, Malcolm Muggeridge puts the quality (or lack thereof) of TV programming into
perspective (with a back-handed compliment or two), and Alex Trebek (perhaps sans mustache?)
appears on American television, long before Jeopardy. Plus sports, movies, Sullivan vs. The
Palace and more!

Seeing the schedule for KDAL-TV in Duluth sure brings back childhood memories. ("There's more
to see on Channel Three!") Their daily afternoon half hour of cartoons consisted of Paul Terry's
"Aesop's Fables," (replete with a crowing Pathe' rooster logo,) "Krazy Kat," "Cubby the Bear," and
other black-and-white relics that barely made it over the line into the talkie era. Weird and
wonderful stuff, loved 'em. The last cartoon would simply be cut off in the middle when it was
time to start the next show. There are probably some I never did see complete.
I learned later that when the station moved from their old b/w studios in the Bradley building
into their new color studios, all the old cartoons went into the trash can. That was like learning
your mom burned all your comic books in the leaf barrel... (And now, the "new" studios are gone
too, if interested please see my post "Down they go in Duluth" under Minnesota.
That's painful! To think of all the classic programming that's just gone into the trash over the
years...
I admit to developing a fondness for these outstate stations, reading through these old issues.
I've never seen KDAL, for example; only spent one weekend in Duluth in my life, but there's
something so much of the era in the programming they had.

KGCT (now KMYT) ran a subscription TV service, "IT TV" (presumably the same service that was
on WIHT in Ann Arbor) at that time. The service ran until 1984, with KGCT closing down the
following year, when they could not afford to rebuild their transmitter after an ice storm. They
returned to air under different owners in 1991, then as KTFO.
More here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KMYT-TV
KAUT ran VUE at this time, up until 1983. The station had better fortunes than KGCT, save for a
seven year period in the 1990s when it was a secondary PBS station under OETA.
According to an earlier post showing Oklahoma listings for September 16, 1980, only the
syndicated Family Feud was carried in OKC on KWTV 9 at 6:30 p.m. The ABC daytime Feud was
preempted by KOCO 5 once ABC moved it to 11 a.m. in June 1980. The September 1981 listings
now show no station in OKC carrying either ABC daytime or syndicated nighttime Feud. Was the
original Feud ever seen again in OKC from this point forward? (Aside from the occasional ABC
primetime specials, unless KOCO preempted them as well)

If KWTV was running CBS programming at 10:30, why was it a night behind?
TV Guide did include the stations after their switch to STV...But as the name of the Subscription
TV service the channel has. Like in New York City Channel 68 WWHT used the service WHT.
During WHT hours listings would show STV shows and movies on WHT not channel 68. I assume
the same thing with 41 Tulsa and 43 Oklahoma City. Channel 41 running sitcoms from Viacom???
and other cash programming?? Unusual for them. I recall Channel 41 by 1983 running an all
barter lineup. And I believe they went dark late in the 80's. They went back on in 1991 with once
again an all barter lineup. They paid no money for any shows they aired from when they came
back on in 1991 till they were part of an LMA with channel 32 in 1994. Channel 41 had been a
very low budget operation.
According to an earlier post showing Oklahoma listings for September 16, 1980, only the
syndicated Family Feud was carried in OKC on KWTV 9 at 6:30 p.m. The ABC daytime Feud was
preempted by KOCO 5 once ABC moved it to 11 a.m. in June 1980. The September 1981 listings

original Feud ever seen again in OKC from this point forward? (Aside from the occasional ABC
primetime specials, unless KOCO preempted them as well)
Very briefly in 1983 on KOCO 5. They did show the All-Star primetime specials and the Best of
that occupied the 10-10:30 slot for a few weeks before replacing it with syndie programming
(don't remember if it was Rituals or 100kNTT, but remember KOCO having both). By spring 1985,
KOCO had SJR (30 version), followed by Loving in the 10-11AM hour.
Uncertain if KOCO cleared 10-10:30 nationally between 1984 and The View, as my memory isn't
as sharp as it once was.

Hey bpatrick, do you have any TV listings from Local TV Guides from either Oklahoma City or
Tulsa from the mid 1980s? (time period of 1982-1986) I hope you're on the lookout for some, if
you find some or have any just let me know and I'd be appreciated if you posted some!

KOCO for most of the 1980s ran M*A*S*H after their local news on a nightly basis. Why they
never aired it at 6:30 in addition baffles me.
Also, for a while in the mid-1980s, Nightline was relegated to KOKH-25, but KOCO picked it back
up again (albeit on a delay basis) by early 1985.
The Prime Time Access Rule, which kept networks from programming the 7:30-8 Eastern/6:30-
7PM Central block, prohibited affiliates in the Top 50 markets from airing off-network shows
(a/k/a reruns of old network shows).
That's why the stations in Wichita Falls and Tulsa could air M*A*S*H at 6:30, but the network
affiliates in OKC couldn't.

Nice little recap. Interesting to see on channel 39 where Mickey Mouse follows Mighty Mouse.

I didn't see "The Mike Douglas Show" anywhere in the listings. That's kind of weird for a large
market like Dallas-Fort Worth in 1978.

Thanks B. Patrick
Out of curiosity do you have any Sunday listings for DFW from that time?
Channel 8 did, at one time, carry Mike at 9 AM but dropped him sometime in 1977 or '78 when
it expanded its afternoon movie to two hours and began delaying "Edge Of Night."

Somebody else will have to answer that one. When I moved to Dallas in '76, Mike was on 8,
Merv on 4, Dinah on 5. Dinah eventually moved to 4, running back to back with Merv (fall 1978),
when 5 decided to pick up Donahue at 9 AM, moving "Sanford And Son" to 3:30, followed by
"Emergency One!" at 4. After "Sanford And Son" ended its daytime run on NBC and "Card
Sharks" replaced it at 9 AM, 5 put "The Odd Couple" at 3:30. Whether anyone else picked up
Mike I have no idea; I left Dallas in '79.

Hey bpatrick, do you have any TV listings from local TV guides from Northern Alabama from the
late 1980s (1985-1989)? If so, just let me know and I'd love to see some posted, and I hope
you're on the lookout for some!

I assume that "To Tell The Truth" was all in reruns since the original TTTT ended in 1978 and the
Robin Ward TTTT didn't start until a year later. Why wasn't "Tic Tac Dough" shown in Alabama in
1979 and when did Alabama pick up TTD?

The Robin Ward version of "TTTT" didn't start until 1980; what you see here are the Joe
Garagiola episodes. At the time it was not uncommon for a station to pick up a syndicated show
that might be in its second or third year of production and begin with year one; syndicated
"TTTT" began in 1969 but wasn't picked up in Birmingham until 1972 ("What's My Line?" went
into syndication in 1968 and wasn't picked up by Channel 42 until 1972, and they were showing
episodes taped in 1968 the first year they had it.) However, in the fall of 1979, WBRC began
airing "Tic Tac Dough" at 6 and "Joker's Wild" at 6:30; they did this for a year before putting "PM
Magazine" at 6:30 and moving "Joker's Wild" to 12:30 PM. WTVF, you'll note, was already
carrying "Joker's Wild" at 8:30 AM; I don't recall who had "TTD" in Nashville.

I didn't know WOWL ever cleared game shows in the 4-5 slot. When we lived in Northern
Mississippi (until August 1978), Guiding Light aired at that time. The station must have dropped
it and then picked it up again because when I stayed in Florence with my relatives during the
summer of 1980, I'm sure I remember my cousins watching GL right before the 5pm news. We
had just seen Kevin Bacon in Friday the 13th, and I was surprised to see him that same summer
on GL.

I was surprised to see that, too, because every Northern Alabama TV Guide I've seen from 1977
on (with the obvious exception of this one) had "ATWT" at 3 and "GL" at 4 on Channel 15.
Perhaps viewers demanded the return of "GL" because, despite the Luke and Laura craze on
"General Hospital," which aired against "GL" at 2 PM, "GL" still held onto third or fourth place in
the ratings, thanks to the Four Musketeers: Rick Bauer, Phillip Spaulding, Mindy Lewis, and Beth
Raines. The last episode of "GL" showed Phillip and Beth married, IIRC, and Rick and Mindy
headed in that direction.

Nice. A couple of notes: The Alvin & The Chipmunks listed on the NBC stations was repeats of
the original Alvin Show (CBS, 1961-62). The show Ruby-Spears did would not start until 1983.
Also, I came across a TV Guide from the Los Angeles area around that time and noticed that ABC
started straight away with Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! ("third season" episodes, which had
started at the beginning of the 1978-79 season at 8 AM ET) and Scooby's All-Stars aired later. Still
trying to figure that one out.

Always good to see posts from my hometown of Birmingham. Thanks for sharing!
this week the TV networks look over their shoulders at pay TV and shudder, Fred Friendly looks
at the state of local news and gets sick to his stomach, SCTV takes a look at Polynesiantown from
a crane, Johnny Carson looks at Miss Piggy and thinks she's full of baloney (or is it bologna), and
more!
http://www.itsabouttv.com/2014/08/th...st-1-1981.html
This week's listing is from Saturday, August 1. There are a lot of things to note here, besides a
rotation of the stations I list each week. For example, there are a lot of cartoons sharing
timeslots, e.g. Tarzan and the Lone Ranger. A natural combination - why didn't I think of that? Or
Richie Rich and Scooby-Doo - I mean, they just go together like, what, ice cream and asparagus,
right? Lots of music and variety shows as well, from pop to country - just look at those guest star
lists! Paul Anka on Hee Haw! And Saturday afternoons in August without baseball just don't look
right, do they?

You're right; can't even read the title of my own blog post. A mind is a terrible thing to waste...
Two things stick out: I wonder why KMSP ran 70 minute episodes of Rockford and Streets? Also, I
thought KSTP never ran "Bandstand," leaving it out in the cold until its last year on ABC, when
KXLI/41 picked up all of the ABC leftovers.
Not sure about "Bandstand," though I do remember that as well. As far as the 70 minute
episodes, I think they filled the time with additional commercials. There's a possibility that there
may have been some type of host, ala Timothy D. Kerr, presiding over the entire block, but that's
not based on any hard info; had I to give an opinion, I'd say it was the commercials.

This week Amos Burke quits his LA beat and makes the world his turf (hint: it doesn't work), pre-

science shows could be a big enough star to go on the game show circuit. Plus Sullivan vs. The

Today's listing is from Friday the 13th (!) of August. We're used to seeing ABC's daytime lineup
feature reruns of hour-long dramas such as Ben Casey and The Fugitive, but this is from a period
when the local stations had the noon hour, which gives us everything from Channel 9's local talk
show hosted by Lois Leppart to noontime cartoons. And that's the kind of thing that makes me
miss local broadcasting. In a day when daytime television is made up of loud talk shows and
stupid judge shows, with only a handful of soaps thrown in, it can make one long for the days of
farm reports, kids shows and local chatfests.

Totally useless trivia. The episode of Dark Shadows that aired this day, #295, was the first one
taped in color. But it was a test episode, so ABC broadcast it in black and white. The following
Monday, episode #296, was the first episode broadcast in color. When DS was syndicated,
episode 295 was seen in color for the first time, but the master copy of 296 was lost, so it was
syndicated with a black and white kinescope.
GH transitioned to color a couple of months later, and as far as I've been able to determine,
Family Game and Everybody's Talking remained in black and white until their demise, the last
daytime network shows to do so.
Over at CBS, Edge of Night, Secret Storm, and Captain Kangaroo are the black and white daytime
holdouts. Edge went to color on September 4th, and Secret Storm followed the next Monday,
September 11th. Not sure when the Captain switched, but he and Mister Moose and Mr. Green
Jeans were in color too by the end of the year.

Before networks got greedy regarding more than one affiliate on a cable system (and when
affiliates pre-empted network programming on a regular basis!)

And STILL no WTBS! Dimension (later Cox) must have been the last major cable system in the
Northeast to add it. I remember being really ticked off about it at the time.

As COX they did not add NESN - New England Sports Network until 04 or 05. As a Bruins fan that
really ticked me off. Even though they had lots of requests for it COX claimed there wasn't
enough REDSOX fans to warrant them carrying NESN.
As COX they did not add SNY - Sports Net New York until they picked up UCONN Football a few
years back. Again they said there weren't enough METS fans to warrant them carrying NESN. I
don't know how many METS fans are around, but what I do know is that back in 88 or 89 little
2500 watt AM 990 in Southington carried some games on the radio. This year is the first time
that there's been a Fulltime METS radio affiliate in Connecticut. Clear Channel's ESPN Radio 1300
in New Haven picked up the games this year from sister station 710 WOR. Clear Channel sent the
Yankees from ESPN 1300 to their more powerful sister station WELI 960. A few years back
WLIS/WMRD in the CT River Valley/Shoreline carried select weekend METS games.

The Mets never really needed a Connecticut affiliate when they were on the 660 blowtorch. 710
is a lot weaker over most of the state, so getting a New Haven affiliate is a good idea. I remember
Mets fans coming out of the woodwork during their '80s glory years, but I doubt many of them
are still following the team, especially outside of lower Fairfield County.

When I lived in Bloomsburg PA from 1987-1993, that was one channel missing from the cable -
WTBS. Bloomsburg didn't get it until around 1995 or so, IIRC..

And STILL no WTBS! Dimension (later Cox) must have been the last major cable system in the
Northeast to add it. I remember being really ticked off about it at the time.
The old Continental Cablevision of Saco and Old Orchard Beach, ME still didn't carry it in July of
1990 either. Here in New Britain, CT (which the above Southington borders), we had United
Cable for much of the 1980s. I don't know what was carried for out-of-market in 1987 besides
WWOR, WPIX, WSBK and WGBY, since I was living in southern Maine at the time. I think WNYW
was on the lineup until 1986, but was soon dropped when they became a charter FOX affiliate.
Of course SYNDEX messed up everything in 1990. It's what led to WPIX being removed from the
United Artists Cable lineup on Sunday, July 1, 1990. Our replacement? In-market WTWS-TV (IND)
channel 26 of New London [WHPX-TV (ION) today]. Then WB and UPN killed off even more out-
of-market stations. WWOR's Eastern Microwave (EMI) Service was gone by the late 1990s and
WSBK was absent except for an occasional Red Sox or Bruins game.
To this day, I think Meriden receives WPIX, but probably only because they're in New Haven
County. WGBY is the only non-market station which Comcast of New Britain carries.
We lost WPIX a few years ago. Apparently COX was getting WPIX from Cablevision and when
Cablevision and Tribune went into dispute and WPIX was removed from Cablevision we lost it
too. For a few days on Channel 22 (WPIX's position on COX Cable) there was a message from COX
Cable that WPIX was off the air and they were working hard to restore it. As the Cablevision and
Tribune dispute went on the message on Channel 22 changed. Effective such and such date (The
first day COX lost WPIX) COX Cable has decided to remove WPIX from our channel line-up. Most
CW Programming and METS games can be found on WCCT-TV on Channel 11.
Dimensions Cable TV Line-up for Southington, CT. Line-up went into effect on July 2, 1990.

I left my reading glasses at home, so maybe I overlooked it, but didn't any of these affiliates carry
Insight?

I don't know if "Insight" was still on in 1979 but I haven't been able to find it on any of these
stations; it was syndicated widely enough that I would think it would have been carried in
Birmingham, Huntsville, and Nashville if it had still been in production. Notice, however, an
abundance of local and regional religious programs; also notice how well-represented the
Baptist church is when church services are scheduled. Wonder how other denominations, such
as the Methodists and Presbyterians, felt about this (especially when Grace Methodist and
Peachtree Presbyterian were both carried in Atlanta). Also, there has always been a large Italian-
American population in Birmingham, many of whom today are descended from people who
came to work in the coal mines and steel mills. You'd think at least one Birmingham station
would have aired a Catholic Mass.

For whatever reason, Channel 42 was the only station in Birmingham that ever carried live
church services, and from the beginning, the services were always from Baptist churches. Given
how dominant Southern Baptists were in the area, it makes sense. In the nearly 50 years since
Channel 42 signed on, they have carried the services from only three congregations: the church I
grew up in, Hunter Street Baptist Church, Woodlawn Baptist Church, a congregation that has
since relocated to the suburbs and changed their name to Liberty Park Baptist, and for the last
35 (or more) years, Dawson Memorial Baptist Church. When ABC 33/40 began serving the
Birmingham area, they added the services from First Baptist Church of Gardendale.

Insight was definitely still in production. It ran through the 1983-84 season. This is why I was
surprised that none of those affiliates carried it. Looking through TV Guides from so many
different markets, it seems like it was on everywhere. We had it in Memphis on WHBQ-TV 13 for
well over a decade in the same time-slot, Sundays at 11 a.m. It was an odd series to be sure and
could actually be fairly creepy at times.

Ha, ha. I scared myself more than I annoyed all the rest of you.
So, why I am butting in again? To help my old chum bp out, of course. As an Alabamian, I can
offer an easy answer (at least, back in the day) as to why Baptist churches were seemingly
overrepresented on Sunday morning service broadcasts. Money and influence. I don't know
exactly what the percentage is these days, but back in the '70s, the Southern Baptist Convention
ALONE claimed the allegiance of half of all Alabamians. And while we think of "mega-churches"
as a recent phenomenon, the Baptist telecasts seen here originated from some of the largest:
Decatur's Central Baptist on WAFF/48, Nashville's Woodmont Baptist on WNGE/2, and
Birmingham/Homewood's Dawson Memorial Baptist on WBMG/42. These telecasts, of course,
were not simply in the interest of evangelizing the unchurched: for many elderly shut-ins, these
services were (then) similar to the ones they were accustomed to in, say, Scottsboro, Alabama or
Pulaski, Tennessee. But above all, these large congregations, which had full activity programs
seven days a week in education, recreation, and mission work, were the only ones who could
afford TV time. bp refers to Atlanta stations carrying Methodist and Presbyterian services, but
there, even at that time, was a hugely different socioeconomic dynamic, where the
mainline/liberal denominations had more social and economic clout than anywhere in Alabama
or Tennessee--and moreover, rural, Southern-born whites had far less demographic and
economic influence in metro Atlanta. Back to Birmingham, Charles35080 has pointed out that a
relatively new (to the phenomenon, that is) mega-church is still doing the Sunday morning OTA
thing. Most everywhere else, with cable access and now YouTube and cheap video equipment,
congregations don't need OTA these days--except those seeking "buzz" and/or community
prestige.
Actually, WBMG/42 carried a 15-minute local program before sign-off on Sunday nights back in
the late 1960s called "Catholicism Explained." I suspect it was a production of the Birmingham
Archdiocese, featuring a priest giving lessons (a la the "preaching and teaching" style of
fundamentalist preachers). Whatever became of that, that same station was accused by Mother
Angelica of EWTN fame of rejecting a half-hour Sunday Mass broadcast back in the 1970s. I could
be conflating those two situations, but either way, while Catholicism still has a strong presence in
Birmingham proper, in the rural areas of the market it did not. That said, WBRC/6 was so
dominant it could have afforded to donate the time early on Sunday morning. I "sho nuff caint
splain" that one, I'm afraid.
So, you folks actually think I need to get back in the retro business? I am considering it as
seriously as a PBS fundraiser.

In 1970, Insight aired in Nashville on channel 4. By 1972 it aired on PBS station WDCN. In 1974-
1976, it was on channel 5. Not sure if aired in Nashville after 1976.
Memphis stations did not change their Sunday morning schedules much in the 1970s.
WHBQ had the same Sunday morning lineup for over a decade: Treehouse Club, a couple of local
church services, Christ Is The Answer, Herald of Truth, Oral Roberts, Insight, Sacred Heart,
Bellevue Baptist Church.
This week, Peter Jennings talks about heading the ABC Evening News at age 28. Baseball and golf
rule the sports world on the weekend. Gemini prepares to fly - or not. Mia Farrow prepares to
marry Frank Sinatra, and may return to Peyton Place afterward - or not. All that, plus pretentious
drama, Sullivan vs. The Palace, and more!
http://www.itsabouttv.com/2014/08/th...t-14-1965.html
This week's listing is from Sunday, August 15. As usual, WCCO - the CBS affiliate - does not carry
the Sunday morning trio of cultural/religious programming: Lamp Unto My Feet, Look Up and
Live, and Camera Three. Instead, we get 15 minutes of religious news, followed by the Bowery
Boys. I never could understand that, and now that I'm old enough to appreciate that kind of
television, I kind of resent it.

I recall this well. NFL Football on Fox started on WATL/ch. 36 here in our market (Atlanta), then
jumped to WAGA/ch. 5 three months later when we had the big affiliate switch.
Yeah, that must have been quite a bizarre time for the Atlanta market.

How odd it is to see WMAL picking up WTOP's network cast offs. It certainly not unheard of, but

Always like seeing listings of retro-'Hollywood Squares'. Rose Marie wasn't on the daytime
version that week(for all the talk about her being on the panel 'forever', she must have missed a
lot of NBC episodes, because it seems like whenever 'Squares' shows up in these listings, she's
not mentioned.) This time, though, she's listed on the nighttime version, while two celebs,
Vincent Price and John Davidson, are on both editions. How often did that happen?

Interesting that WDCA ran Mary Hartman at 8pm. It was usually on following the late local news,
and I've seen a good number of stations that carried it during the morning or afternoon like a
straight soap, but I don't think I've ever seen an affiliate carry it in prime-time.

PBS had been in operation for three years but the channel 56 schedule still looks like the old
National Educational Television.
Now, the networks have given up on Saturday nights. Back then, CBS had a line-up people stayed
home to watch. Unfortunately, Carol Burnett was preempted this night.
Lou Gordon: What a great show! Too bad nobody like him is around today.

I think at this time that Carol Burnett took the summer off. Reruns of Mission: Impossible were
running in that time slot until the new season of Carol Burnett started and reruns of Mission:
Impossible entered syndication.

Hmmm. I thought The Harlem Globetrotters was the 9:30 AM Sunday show on CBS. Pebbles &
Bamm-Bamm was already part of the Flintstone Comedy Hour at 11 AM Saturdays. The Trotters

CBS made the change on Sunday on May 27, 1973, according to "The Encyclopedia of Daytime
Television," so the listing I posted is correct (BTW, you're from Cumming, GA, and I recall that
WAGA normally didn't carry CBS's Sunday cartoons, except for a brief period in the fall of 1976).
To answer a couple of other questions: "Mission: Impossible" was pre-empted by the Miss
Universe Pageant; Carol Burnett was off for the summer. And Lawrence Welk was airing on
Channel 50 at 7 PM Sunday at the time; he would move to Saturday as "Hee Haw" moved first to
Channel 4, then to Channel 2. (I have been unable to find out what happened to "Hee Haw" in
Detroit after September 1980; Channel 2 had it during the 1979-80 season, then dropped it, and
I have yet to find out who picked it up.)

I wonder why they didn't show repeats of the Carol Burnett Show? They'd done six seasons at
this point. They weren't limited to just the past season. Mission: Impossible had run its course at
this point and really didn't fit in with a strong comedy line-up.
During that summer, Harvey Korman would have been off filming "Blazing Saddles" ("That's
Hedley!") and Carol Burnett would have been filming Billy Wilder's remake of "The Front Page."
Funny that CBS had dumped Hee-Haw. ABC had dumped Lawrence Welk. Both shows continued
with strong performance in syndication for years afterwards. And then there's Star Trek, which
NBC dumped, also on the schedule.

I think CBS was adhering to an old but antiquated (thanks to videotape) tradition, going back to
radio, of summer replacements for the big comedy-variety shows; interestingly, Jackie Gleason's
show aired reruns (mostly the Miami-made "Honeymooners") in the summers of 1969 and 1970.
As for "Mission: Impossible," it was in its last few weeks on CBS, and I think this was just a
convenient way to play it out (it had been on Saturday in the fall of 1972 but was showing its
age, leading to one of the great programming decisions of all time: a three-hour block with some
of the best comedy ever shown on the tube; the Friday slot it had had since late 1972 was
dominated by "Sanford And Son" and "The Brady Bunch" and in the summer of '73 was given
over to--believe it or not--"60 Minutes," which still hadn't caught on and wouldn't for another
two years; "Calucci's Department" got that Friday slot that fall and died a quick death by January
1974).
"Hee Haw" and Welk were canceled by CBS and ABC, respectively, more for their older and rural-
based demographics ("Hee Haw" was still in the top 20 when CBS tried dismantling the cornfield
in 1971); their huge successes in syndication no doubt shocked a few network executives and
even spurred Roy Clark to record a song, "The Lawrence Welk-Hee Haw Counterrevolutionary
Polka," which actually made the Billboard charts in 1972. "Star Trek" was a victim of ratings but
also of demographics tending the other way (lots of kids and teenagers); it was that rarity, a
network castoff that did better in syndicated reruns ("The Honeymooners" and "The Odd
Couple" are two more that come to mind) than in their original network runs. As "Star Trek"
became a genuine American institution in the '70s, it would be interesting to know how the folks
at NBC reacted.
For some reason, this talk about network castoffs that thrived in syndication makes me think of
Lin Bolen's incessant efforts to get "Jeopardy!" off the NBC daytime schedule, which she finally
did in 1975 by making a deal with Merv to put "Wheel Of Fortune" on instead. But it's fair, I
think, to say. as TV Guide once did, that the answer-and-question game has since become a
genuine American institution under Alex Trebek (30 years on the air and counting); BTW, as I'm
posting this, today is Alex's 74th birthday; he has said, on the subject of retiring, that Bob Barker
did "The Price Is Right" into his 80s and he might just keep hosting "Jeopardy!" that long.
And a final note: "Hee Haw" and Welk were not the only variety shows victimized by
demographics; CBS also dropped Gleason, Ed Sullivan, Red Skelton, and Jim Nabors; ABC also
dropped Johnny Cash and Pearl Bailey; NBC dropped Andy Williams (and Skelton, when he
changed networks in 1970 and flopped).

Quite correct. Our TV Guide carried the listings of two other CBS stations, WMAZ in Macon and
WDEF in Chattanooga. WMAZ ran the CBS Sunday cartoons, and I must have missed that. WAGA
also cleared Aquaman on a week delay to 7 AM Sundays in the 1967-68 season. WATL and WTCG
(now WPCH) also cleared CBS's Sunday cartoons for a time.

CBS dropped Ralph Kramden. The following year, they gave his time spot to Archie Bunker. Now
you know the rest of the story.
Patrick, does the TV Guide says whether Mission: Impossible was a first-run episode (getting
burned off) or a repeat?
The season after Star Trek was cancelled, Nielsen started providing demographic breakdowns.
Up to then, it was just (what we now call) beauty contest numbers. If NBC, and advertisers, knew
how great Star Trek's demos were they'd have completed the rest of the "five year mission."
Jeopardy's original announcer is still working SNL and Don Pardo is 96.
Lin Bolen was the basis for Faye Dunaway's character in "Network." Alex Trebeck was one of the
young stud hosts she hired when she fired the old guard game show hosts. Interestingly, when
she went on her own and produced he own game show, she hired Allen Ludden as host, not one
of the studs.

Last night on "Letterman," the enhanced and expanded "CBS orchestra" plus the composer
played Lou Gordon's theme song.
When I hear it I think of two things: (1) Lou Gordon ("no idiot boards, no cue cards," ... "this is
my wife Jackie who axs me your questions."). And (2) The long version of this song and "In The
Gadda da Vida" were always kept handy for emergencies.
Since I never lived in a market where Lou Gordon was carried, how about a quick fiill-in on how
he worked? Was he like Joe Pyne, or possibly Irv Kupcinet?
None of the above. He wasn't selling a point of view. I worked with the guy when he was at
WXYZ and later lived in two markets where his show was carried, and I have no idea where he
stood politically. Mostly he was against the "arrogance of power." He brought down two Detroit
mayors and derailed Mitt Romney's dad's drive for the White House. He was a classic, old school
muckraker. His on-air interviewing style was somewhat like Mike Wallace. Funny thing was he did
radio and TV part time. His day job was running a dress wholesaler or some such. You can see
some his shows on You Tube. The Wikipedia article on his is pretty good.
If I'd compare him to anybody, it would be guys who were even before his time, like Drew
Pearson. He was more a one-man Wikileaks than a talk show host.
I wonder why they didn't show repeats of the Carol Burnett Show?
I found the answer in the August 14, 1972 issue of Broadcasting. Fred Silverman, then CBS's
programming head, claimed with the heavy clearance costs of variety show reruns it was just as
expensive to put out new programming as rerunning Carol Burnett episodes. And since
"Mission" was already in the can, it would be even cheaper.

CBS did not rerun Carol Burnett during the summer until 1978...ironically, after her final
season(Anyone know if the repeats were from that season, or a selection from previous years?)

Most likely the Detroit promotion. Since this was still the era of promotion territories, I
somehow doubt (although I could be wrong) if the McMahon shows were seen in Detroit.

Is there some reason why you started a whole new thread instead of just posting this as a reply
in your earlier thread?

Personally, I'd rather see a completely different schedule posted as a new topic rather than
added as a reply to a topic that featured a schedule from a day or so before. I think that each
individual schedule deserves its own thread. It's too confusing to reply to a thread where
multiple schedules are posted, and when someone is searching for a specific date, it's easier to
find and browse when they're under their own thread. Please don't change the way you post
these, bpatrick. You've got it exactly right.

Thanks, Skip. That's exactly why I post them the way I do, and that way, when someone requests
a specific date, the schedule(s) are easy to find.

Small Wonder? - Wonder what they were smoking when they came up with that one.

About time they got The Jeffersons (and One Day at a Time), while the Cleavers make a return to
Antenna. I'm kinda surprise they got Mork & Mindy though...given that Happy Days and Laverne
& Shirley are/were on Me-TV, it would have been natural for M&M to be on Me also.
Most of these other shows haven't aired in reruns in years, especially Small Wonder and Evening
Shade (which never entered off-network syndication).

I'm glad they're getting Newhart as well. It's another one that I'm surprised is coming to Antenna
instead of Me TV since most other Fox owned shows are on Me except for WKRP. I guess Me
hasn't had any interest in either of them, but I'm glad Antenna picked them up.

Hey bpatrick, do you have any TV Listings from Local TV Guides from Central Florida between

If so, just let me know and I'd love to see some posted! If not, then you should be on the lookout

This week, a criminal hunts corrupt politicians, NBC hunts the Mafia, and TV Guide hunts for
delivery boys. Plus Art Linkletter, the debut of a well-loved game show, the latest starlet of the
moment, and more!
http://www.itsabouttv.com/2014/08/th...t-23-1958.html
As always your comments, positive as well as negative, are most welcome.
This week's listing is from Monday, August 25, and it's something of a rarity. Usually when I do
these Minnesota State Editions, I present the Twin Cities stations, plus a rotation of "outstate"
stations in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa. But this week, because there are so few stations
(relatively) in the market, I'm reprinting all the stations in the edition. Enjoy!

That was the day after Teddy Nadler set the game-show winnings record of $252,000 on "The
$64,000 Challenge," a record that would stand until Thom McKee cracked the $300,000 mark on
"Tic Tac Dough" in 1980. It was also the day New York DA Frank Hogan's office announced it
would be looking into allegations of rigging on the big-money shows; CBS had already pulled
daytime "Dotto" (and NBC, the nighttime version) following the August 15 telecast after standby
contestant Ed Hilgemeier found a notebook belonging to the current champion, future author
Marie Winn, and saw that it contained all the answers to the questions she was asked, plus the
identity of the face she had to guess in order to "dotto" and win the game. Hilgemeier had
actually found the notebook on May 20, had torn out the telltale page, and had taken it to the
producers, who offered him $1500 to keep quiet. But when Marie Winn's "defeated" opponent,
Yeffe Kimball Slatin, was offered $4000, Hilgemeier took his story to Hogan's assistant Joe Stone
and to the FCC; when "Dotto" sponsor Colgate-Palmolive learned the allegations of rigging, it
dropped its sponsorship, and CBS and NBC canceled the daytime and nighttime shows,
respectively. "Top Dollar" was airing on CBS at 11:30 AM/10:30 (CT) as of August 18.
"Concentration" was actually created at Barry and Enright Productions and was sold along with
"Twenty-One," "Tic Tac Dough," and "Dough Re Mi" to NBC. "Concentration" was never involved
in any rigging and Hugh Downs said, "Thank God, the public trusted us." Charles Van Doren
would lose his job on the "Today" show after finally admitting, in 1959, that he had gotten the
answers on "Twenty-One."
Now a question: after NBC dropped the original "Concentration" in 1973, Mark Goodson and Bill
Todman bought the right to produce a syndicated version with Jack Narz as host. In Atlanta,
WXIA carried the show at 7 PM and some of us at UGA watched it every night. But not
everybody I knew liked it; they thought it too much like "The Price Is Right" (the only
resemblances I noticed were Johnny Olson as the announcer and some of the same-sounding
music). What did you think of this version and, for that matter, "Classic Concentration" with Alex
Trebek in the late '80s?

--Educational KTCA 2 signs on at 3:30 in the afternoon, then signs off for a few hours, then signs
back on at 6:45? This is August so I assume they weren't running classroom instructional
programs in the middle. Plus school is not in session in the early evening. This is before Mr.
Rogers, The Friendly Giant, What's New or Julia Child on the early days of NET, forerunner to
PBS.
--Arthur Godfrey is only 30 min. on CBS in 1958. In the early 50s, his show ran 90 min. I wonder
how Arthur took the news they were cutting him back by an hour?
--WCCO runs 85 min. of kids programs in the afternoon, including what looks like two in-house
kids shows, "Axel and His Dog" and "Popeye's Clubhouse" which I assume was a local show built
around Popeye cartoons.
--WCCO also has an 8 am kids show, "Siegfried and His Flying Saucer." Can you imagine what that
must have looked like? Did the local crew build a flying saucer for Siegfried to use as a prop?
--KSTP has a 30 min. local show "David Stone" at 6:30 am, before Today goes on the air.
Meanwhile the Minneapolis ABC and Independent stations don't even sign on till 11:30 am and
2:25 pm.
--If you're an ABC affiliate, you get no programming from the network till 3:30 pm CT? Then it's
simply "Who Do You Trust?" and "American Bandstand," then it's back to you till the 15 min. ABC
Evening News with John Daly, and later the prime time line-up. Either you fill up the other hours
of the day with whatever cheap programming you can find, or you don't even sign on till mid-
afternoon, which is what the Austin MN ABC affiliate does.
--I assume the 15 min. ABC Evening News is folded into the 30 minutes of news KTCN does at
6pm. I doubt they can fill 30 min. on their own. Many smaller ABC affiliates didn't bother to run
John Daly, going with more popular rerun shows. But surely the ABC affiliate in a big market like
Minneapolis didn't do that to ABC, did they? Also notice KTCN doesn't bother to do a 10 pm or
11 pm newscast. They don't even do a sign-off newscast, or they don't ask TV Guide to list it.
Eventually KTCN would lose ABC affiliation to KMSP 9, becoming the market's independent
station.

The syndicated Concentration (to me, anyway) started out okay, even if there were no more gag
prizes and Forfeit 1 Gift cards. I didn't mind the puzzles being in color, either. As time went on, it
started adding deviations that didn't make it seem like the show I knew ("Free Look," calling
three numbers instead of two), the prizes were getting as cheesy as the consolation gifts to the
loser, and the puzzles (especially the Double Play puzzles) were getting wordy and
claustrophobic in its symbol usage. Classic started turning me off when the contestants would
snipe at each other.
Like I said, that's just me. Your mileage, as always, may vary.

Even in the late 60s, big markets like Houston and Cleveland didn't air ABC news.

Where was Captain Kangaroo in 1958? None of the CBS affiliates had it on their schedule
here...was it perhaps Saturday only then, or was it not cleared with any of the CBS affiliates in
this edition?

The Captain was on Monday through Saturday; it appears that he wasn't cleared by any of the
CBS affiliates, although it's hard to explain why the Mason City and LaCrosse affiliates signed on
so late in the morning.
A couple of other notes: the CBS newscast was titled "Douglas Edwards With The News"; I don't
think the "CBS Evening News" title was used until Walter Cronkite took over in 1962. Also, note
that ABC daytime was on a clock-time schedule; "Who Do You Trust?" aired at 3:30 in all time
zones, followed by "American Bandstand," "Fun At Five" (which included "Superman"), and the
"Mickey Mouse Club." This was no doubt because the programming from "Bandstand" on was
geared to kids and/or teens, and late afternoon was deemed the best time to air these shows. As
for John Daly in Minneapolis, I think TV Guide would have listed his newscast separately from Ch.
11's local news (as was the case with Ch. 11 in Atlanta, which had local news at 7 and Daly at
7:15). (Off-topic but the two Ch. 11s are sister stations today; KARE in the Twin Cities and WXIA
Atlanta are both owned by Gannett.)
ABC would expand its daytime schedule with something called "Operation Daybreak," starting
Oct. 13 and with a schedule that would begin at 11 AM:
11 AM Day In Court
12:30 Mother's Day (game show with host Dick Van Dyke, a program he despised)
1:30 (Local)
2:30 (Local)
3 PM Beat The Clock (new network, having been picked up from CBS)
4 PM American Bandstand
5:30 Mickey Mouse Club (MWF)/Walt Disney's Adventure Time (reruns of the serials aired on
"Mickey Mouse Club," TTh)

Great information on the quiz show scandals - that really puts this day into perspective.
I have to admit that the original "Concentration" remains my favorite, though I don't think that
the revivals of it were quite as bad as, say, the original attempt to resurrect "Jeopardy." I don't
remember that much about the new "Concentration" versions, though I do recall Jack Narz and
Alex Trebek. Regardless, it was a fun show, and it made you think.

Good additions as always! That's what I love about the interactivity of the community!
This week we find out if the new television sets are smarter than the sportswriters making NFL
predictions, we read about just how hard it is to be a network censor, we stay up with the stars
for Jerrys Telethon, and more!

This weeks listing is from Wednesday, September 3. I suppose one of the most obvious changes I
notice in these "newer" issues is that the broadcast day has been dramatically expanded. Last
week we saw a station airing a Western early on a weekday morning; this week we see stations
going 24 hours. Is that better, or not? To be honest, I'm not sure. It sounds strange, coming from
a TV buff, to ask whether or not it isn't better to have some times with no TV being broadcast.
And I'm just back from vacation, so be gentle with any errors I might have made...

There was a discussion in another thread about the unlikelihood of Hee Haw being a success in
San Francisco. I see the reverse of that here, with Soap Factory Disco airing in Kingsport, TN. I'd
never heard of this show before I saw it popping up in these old TV schedules. I'll have to check
out Youtube and see if there's an episode floating around. Thanks for another great, old
schedule, bpatrick!

At least one station had Insight, though it looks like This Is The Life was more popular up in the
eastern parts of the state and the Carolinas. I don't think we had This Is the Life in Memphis, at
least not in my growing up days. Next Step Beyond seems like an odd choice for post religious
programming on Sundays (WSOC, Charlotte).
Was Sunday a special night for The Ropers? I remember it being on Tuesdays originally, and I
think it moved to Saturdays for the second season, where it crashed and burned.
I remember The Associates. Martin Short. I actually remember the night it premiered. It was
followed by a special 3 hour presentation of the ABC Sunday Night Movie, S.O.S. Titanic. 35 years
ago this month. Unbelievable.
It was a special timeslot for "The Ropers." The 8:30 show on ABC that fall was "The Associates," a
sitcom set in a law firm. It, too, went belly-up fairly quickly, as CBS's lineup steamrollered the
competition that year (that was the year "60 Minutes" hit number one).
That was the year ABC decided to 'fix' everything that wasn't broken; "Mork and Mindy" moved
to 8 on Sundays...briefly, and even "Laverne and Shirley" got shifted to Thursdays(later,
Mondays), before each show returned to its original timeslot.

Which was probably one, although not the only, factor in ABC's losing the ratings race (and its
number-one position) to CBS that season. CBS also had arguably the three hottest shows on the
air at the time: "60 Minutes," "Dallas," and "The Dukes Of Hazzard."
Another show that got moved was "Fantasy Island," from Saturday to Friday; it took only a few
weeks for ABC to move it back.

The late '80s cartoon reboot using kid versions of the characters craze
Shows like
a show using kid versions of the Archie characters (whose name I don't remember and I don't
have time to wiki right now)
Who remembers that fad? And why was it allowed to see the light of day?
ixnay
I remember the Animaniacs and the Warner Brothers next-generation cartoons, Tiny Toons. I had
a 6 year old daughter at the time. I watched those with her, and thought they were outstanding.
The Animaniacs were cut from whole cloth, not a reboot. And they were the best. But the
Warner Brothers Tiny Toons cartoons were almost as good.
I think what makes the difference is (1) really good source material and (2) excellent execution.
The connection of Steven Spielberg to the project made a big, big difference.
I was nine when Tiny Toons debuted, and about 13-14 when Animaniacs when hit the air, and
with two those in particular, they more or less led of resurgence of WB's animation studio. One
of my favorite animated shows of all-time was Batman: the Animated Series, which also debuted
in the early '90s, and WB did a great job with the production of that show as well.
As to the initial question, ABC had a show called "Little Rosey" on that aired for a season on
Saturday mornings, and it loosely based on Roseanne Barr's childhood. A few years later, Fox did
a similar premise with "Life with Louie", starring Louie Anderson, who did the voices of his
younger self and his father--it was probably the only thing I liked of his that was midly-
entertaining.
I believe the popularity of the animated cartoon series with "kid versions" of some of the
Muppets ("Muppet Babies") led to this fad.
I also forgot about that show; I think it have been the first that went with the premise, at least in
the last 30-40 years.

I think it was "The New Archies" that had the pre-teen versions of the Riverdale gang. It was the
first Archie cartoon series not done by Filmation (DIC produced it, as well as "Archie's Weird
Mysteries").
I recall "Yo, Yogi," which turned Yogi and friends into teenage mallrats.

I forgot about those two. My sentiment about them is the opposite of yours, Avid - I enjoyed
Tiny Toons (but couldn't stand Babs Bunny, Montana Max, or Elmyra). Animaniacs, not so much
(one exception: when Wakko pointed out on a map of the world all of the countries in song).

^The segment of "Animaniacs" you had referenced actually had Yakko singing about all of the
countries of the world, not Wakko.

Muppet Babies was both on CBS Saturday Mornings and in syndication (it was aired on WPIX and
many many other huge independent/Fox stations in the late 80s and early 90s). Ah, the times
where kids could watch their local independent after school for some cartoons! Now it's Nick's
6055th rerun of an annoying SpongeBob episode, the equally annoying Adventure Time on
Cartoon Network, and the dumb not-funny Disney Channel "sitcoms". Sigh...kids these days.
A little later we had Jungle Cubs, an ABC Saturday Morning show from 1996-98 about young
"Jungle Book" characters. That show met E/I credit back when that requirement was just
beginning as well.
One of the last I remember was PBS - so many preschoolers know who Clifford the Big Red Dog
was from the TV show and from the library books - and then around 2003 PBS did "Clifford's
Puppy Days," a spinoff where Clifford was real tiny. The "Emily" character was still in it, but not T-
Bone and Cleo (who were in the original show). Reruns aired to 2005-2006.

Right. I meant to type Yakko. I got the character right but not the name. Who knows how Wakko
would've delivered it.
ixnay
Did CBS air a completely different package of MB episodes from the syndicated package, or was
there some overlap?
Beetlejuice aired on Fox Kids (weekdays) and ABC (Sat. mornings) in the early '90s, but IIRC the
packages had no overlap.

With my memory jogged in regards to Muppet Babies, the syndicated package were the reruns
of the previous seasons on CBS.

In fact, I believe that the reason WTEV-6 was part of the New York Mets' network back then was
that it's signal (especially before the Tiverton tower was built in 1967) didn't reach Boston, and
thus, didn't penetrate Boston Red Sox "territory".
In fact, I believe that neither WJAR-10 nor WPRO/WPRI-12 could have picked-up local New York
broadcasts of the Mets (or Yankees) because their signals reached Boston.
Major League Baseball has long had a rule that no TV station within a certain distance (50
miles?) of a major league city could carry local telecasts of a team whose ballpark is located
outside that radius.
WTEV was outside the 50-mile radius; WJAR and WPRO/WPRI weren't.
From 1954 through 1971, and again over the last few years, there have been MLB teams in
Baltimore and Washington (which are closer than 50 miles to each other); I believe the rule is
that for any local over-the-air telecasts, no Baltimore station can carry Washington Nationals
games, nor any D.C. station could carry Baltimore Orioles telecasts.

The Boston Red Sox very rarely played on Saturday nights in those days, so "Secret Agent" and
"Face Is Familiar" were normally seen on the old WHDH-5. They were bumped to the then-WIHS-
38 for that night (and maybe one other time during the 1966 season).
Additionally, I thought that by 1966, all of the Red Sox home telecasts on WHDH (and most of
the away games) were in color. Given that WGN-9 Chicago's color mobile unit was used not just
for their own coverage of White Sox and Cubs home games, but also for the video feed
"backhauled" to the visiting team's home city), I suspect this game was in color.

Not sure of the exact date but it was sometime in the fall of 1966.
1967 was the first year that Channel 5 WHDH telecast Red Sox home games in color, using RCA's
TK43 color cameras. Here's a link to an article in RCA's Broadcast News magazine from August
1967 discussing the WHDH's remote trucks, and color camera setup. The article is on Page
26 :http://www.americanradiohistory.com/...ws/RCA-135.pdf
Thanks for that link - I loved the color pictures from the old WHDH studios, especially the one of
Jack Hynes doing the news. It shows how far news sets and production has come in 45 years. The
original WHDH doesn't get the respect it deserves for putting out a quality product despite all
the behind-the-scenes turmoil.

Hey bpatrick do you have any TV listings from Local TV Guides from either Bristol-Kingsport-
Johnson City, Greenville-Spartanburg-Asheville, or Knoxville-Chattanooga from the early 1980s
(time period: 1981-1985)? If so, just let me know and I'd love to see some posted, otherwise,
you should be on the lookout for some!

Geez, Louise. Charlotte, NC. 90 minutes of Another World at 9am? It was hard enough to take in
the afternoon. Wonder how that worked out for them.
I'm also surprised that WBTV failed to clear Y&R. It was CBS' highest rated soap in the late 70s, a
solid #3 in the yearly Nielsens. Maybe with more clearances (I've noticed a fair number of
stations not carrying it circa 1979), it might've been able to edge out at least one other ABC
soap.
And what's up with Adam-12 "pre-empting" Gunsmoke at 5pm on WBTV? Were they running the
1/2 hour Marshal Dillon version?

To answer your question about "Gunsmoke," WBTV was carrying the hour-long episodes; there
was a special at 5:30, so "Adam-12" was put in to fill the half-hour gap.
WBTV would pick up "Y&R" at 1 PM, moving "Search For Tomorrow" to 10 AM, before it
expanded to an hour; I think that would have been toward the end of 1979 or the beginning of
1980 ("Y&R" went to an hour on Feb. 4, 1980). As for "Another World," it would revert to an
hour on August 4, 1980 (2-3 PM) as the spinoff soap "Texas" aired from 3-4 on NBC.

WGGS definately ran Fred Flintstone & Friends not the 166 Flintstones episodes back then. Fred
& Friends was a straight barter low cost show while teh Flintstones was highly expensive back
then. The Flintstones began going barter in 1982 when General Mills syndicated teh show along
with Scooby Doo, Bewitched, Partridge Family, and I Dream Of Jeannie. General Mills picked up
these shows from Columbia. The Bewitched and Jeannie shows excluded the black & white ones
though. Under the barter deal the station would run 2 minutes of general mills ads during each
show plus run 10 minutes of these ads per day per show spread out during daytime hours. For
cartoons the ads had to be run between the 6 and 9 a.m. hours and the 3 to 6 p.m. hours. The
General Mills Syndicated arm was called DFS. Flintstones began going on this deal in 1982 as the
cash deals with Screen Gems expired. In fact in Philadelphia when WKBS TV 48 went dark in 83
they had a year to go on the Flintstones which expired in 1984 but Screen Gems and DFS would
not allow this title to move to Channel 17. Channel 48 also was contracted to begin runs on
Bewitched which did move to Channel 17 (Bewitched was not ever aired on 48 because the
cotract was to take effect after 48 went dark and was made before the decision to dismantle 48
was made). But Channel 17 WPHL had to get their own contract for Flintstones which they did
several months after Channel 48 went dark.
Also Channel 48 was scheduled that fall to pick up One Day At A Time, Love Boat, Fantasy Island,
and Inspector Gadget and those shows did go to Channel 17. The Viacom shows like All In The
Family (which went to Columbia/Embassy in 1991), I Love Lucy, Beverly hillbillies,
Honeymooners, Gomer Pyle, and Dick van Dyke also could not go to Channel 17 because of
Viacom's policy about second hand selling of shows to other stations. Viacom would not allow
their shows to be somd second hand. Channel 17 did buy Gomer and Dick Van Dyke 6 months
later on their own.
Back to WGGS - WGGS ran only low costa nd no cost secular shows. They spent little money on
programming despite being the only independent in the market until 1979. Later in 79 Channel
40 went on the air as an independent and they too had a low budget lineup. It was not until
1984 when Pappas signed on 21 WHNS that a strong indepedent went on the air there...
One other thing that I cannot figure out is how Asheville is part of the Greenville market. the
cities are 80 miles apart - farther than some markets are from each other (Washington &
Baltimore are a mere 25 miles from each other - Cincinnati and Dayton are 40 miles apart -
Providence and Boston 50 miles apart - Ralliegh and Greensboro are about 45 miles apart) -
Channel 13 Ashville though transmits between Ashville and Spartanburg so it reaches Greenville
but its tough to reach south of Greenville. Channel 16 though cannot reach Ashville at all -
niether can TV 40. But 40 and 13 are now co owned. Channel 40 is an Independent stationon
their main channel but run ABC 13's shows on DT-2. Channel 13 Ashville runs 40's schedule on
their DT 2 now so digital resolved that issue. Same with 62 Ashville and 7 Spartanburg. They run
each others programnming on their subchannels. Still Ashville is way to far to be in the
Greenville Market..

Asheville is actually about 60 miles from Greenville and Spartanburg. I suspect the reason
Asheville and Greenville are considered the same market is because there has been a network
affiliate (WLOS-ABC) in Asheville that gets into Greenville since 1954. WLOS, in fact, at one time
was seen in six states (the two Carolinas, Virginia. Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia); it was the
de facto ABC affiliate for Bristol/Kingsport/Johnson City until WKPT signed on in 1969; it also got
into Knoxville and people there tended to watch it rather than WTVK/26 before ABC switched to
WATE/6 in 1979. On top of that, WYFF and WSPA put a clear signal into Asheviile, as does WHNS,
which is licensed to Asheville.

In 2008 a friend and I (my friend from 60 miles north of New Orleans began a trip from his home
to Birmingham, Atlanta, Charlotte, Gatlinburg, then back to Atlanta through Asheville (not far
from Gatlinburg) and visited the Biltmore. This was a 10 day trip. Anyhow I was amazed at how
far Greenville and Asheville were from each other. It was like a 90 minute drive. I did notice that
in Gatlinburg, WLOS reached as well as the Knoxville ABC station. I alos notice that 13 was in the
newspaper TV sections while the rest of the Greenville Spartanburg stations were not. Chances
are the transmitter of WLOS is about 15 miles or so south of Asheville. The Greenville station
transmitters are likely near Spartanburg so the stations have an 80 % overlap when all is said and
done. Still Channel 13 does likely lack signal south of Greenville in the Anderson area and
Channel 40 does reach Greenville well but barely reaches Spartanburg and does not reach
Asheville while Channel 16 does not reach Asheville. The issue with digital for Channel 40 and 13
seem resolved as each station is aq mirror simulcast of each other ABC on 13 DT-1 and
Independent on 13 DT-2 while in reverse on 40 DT-1 and 40 DT-2.
Fox or independent stations that aired a big three Saturday morning lineup.
Based on what I know though all of the TV Guides and newspaper archives, KSCH Channel 58
(now KQCA) in Sacramento, CA aired NBC's Saturday Morning lineup because it's NBC affiliate
KCRA 3 pre-emepted it for a Saturday Morning local newscast, and WPXI 11 in Pittsburgh also
pre-empted it for a Saturday local newscast in 1990 but I don't know if WPGH 53 or WPTT 22
aired NBC's Saturday Morning lineup. So do you guys know of any other Fox or Independent
station that aired the ABC, NBC, or CBS Saturday Morning lineup?
Atlanta: For a brief time, WUPA/ch. 69 (which became UPN at the time) ran a block of ABC shows
that regular affiliate WSB/ch. 2 bumped for local news. (WSB cleared other ABC shows on a week
delay in the wee hours of Saturday and one hour on Sunday). In 1969, WATL/ch. 36 cleared CBS's
Sunday morning cartoons (Tom & Jerry and Batman) as then-affiliate WAGA/ch. 5 aired religious
fare. In 1970, WTCG/ch. 17 (now WPCH) cleared the CBS Sunday shows (Tom & Jerry and The
Perils Of Penelope Pitstop).

These lists of extracts from old TV guides are about the most boring things posted in here, but
giving on the title of "!!" really ices the cake.
I haven't been posting here as long or as often as many others, but in the short time I've been
here, I've learned which posters generally contribute something of value to me and which ones
have absolutely nothing of interest. When I see a post by bpatrick, I always read it. When I see
ones by some other individuals, I ignore those and move along. What I don't understand is why
some people feel compelled to comment rudely in posts they claim not to care about. If you
don't want to read another boring extract from a 35 year old TV Guide, then you should skip my
threads, and bpatrick's threads, and Mitchell's threads, etc. No one holds a gun to your head and
forces you to endure it. I certainly wouldn't waste my time going to threads I don't like with the
sole intent of rating them as low as possible and then telling the OP how awful it is. I'm certain
that it won't deter bpatrick from posting another one, and it certainly won't deter me. In
fact...check out my next thread.
As Columbo would say, "Just one more thing." I appreciate the fact that people are posting these
schedules. It's a classic TV forum, and how many times can you really have the Jeannie vs.
Samantha or Ginger vs. Mary Ann type debates that are ubiquitous on every single classic tv
forum since the beginning of the world wide web? Classic TV schedules are very unique to this
web site discussion forum. It's what lured me here in the first place, made me sad last year when
the site closed, and makes me happy now that it's back up.

Read my post. I had ignored most of these lists after making one comment when they first
started appearing. At the time I posted what I posted above, the title of this thread was two
exclamation points. That's it. Two exclamation points. Now, a couple of hours later, there is a
new title. My complaint was about the title, and now that the title has been changed, the only
appropriate comment is to quote Emily Latella, "Never mind."

The "!!" should not have been there, and I don't know what foul-up caused it. I put these listings
because a friend of my dad's, who's an antique collector, knows that I collect old TV Guides and
found these for me; it's a change of pace for me to post something besides Atlanta, North
Carolina, Kentucky, etc. occasionally.
To be honest, these New Hampshires were not the most exciting for me either, but at the same
time I read the retros that look the most interesting to me, so if anybody sees one that doesn't
suit their interests, it's a free country and you can stop reading or bypass them altogether. You
needn't attack me for placing postings I didn't design 15 years ago for a region I don't normally
follow.
If you're looking for Canadian listings, I would suggest you start with Montreal-St. Lawrence;
there are several available on eBay.
I don't mean to sound at all apologetic for posting them, but I figure somebody might like to see
these, and yes, I intend to continue posting retros from somewhere. 'Nuff said on my part.

Are you sure that the Super Mario Bros. Super Show aired on WNDS channel 50 weekdays at
8:00 AM, I thought it didn't air on OTA broadcast television after September 1991.

That's what it shows on Ch. 50, and I take no responsibility for accuracy unless I know
something's wrong, which in this case I don't, since I never watched the show. I have a feeling
the station was/is a low-budget operation and probably got it for little or nothing.

Just noticed a typo. WTCN 11 was not NBC. Looking at Bishop Sheen on the evening line up, I
suppose this is DuMont? Are 87th Precinct and Polka Jamboree DuMont network shows? I
suppose they've got to be network shows if they have (return) after their names. Off network
syndicated shows wouldn't get a (return) listing.
Also I see they start the late news at 9:30 instead of 10 pm. Also the 12:15 offering, Silents
Please, was the name of an occasional Ernie Kovacs show. Or maybe the local station simply ran
a few silent shorts after the late movie before sign-off.

Per Wikipedia: the TV series "The 87th Precinct" first aired on NBC during the 1961-1962 season.
Only lasted one season in first-run. I'm going to guess that "Polka Jamboree" was a local show, as
Minnesota really liked its polka (or "old-time" as they called it in the 90s when I lived there.) The
DuMont network went dark by 1956. Bishop Sheen's "Life is Worth Living" was a DuMont show,
but per Wikipedia Sheen also produced a syndicated show in the 60s. I'll wager the then new
show was the one presented. Speaking of all things Catholic, there's the locally famous "Quiz-A-
Catholic" game show on KSTP. And to recycle a bad ol' joke from my youth, there were no holes
in channel 9's schedule, since they all healed over with Oral Roberts in the line-up. (the actual
joke went: why couldn't you play an Oral Roberts record? Because the hole healed over.)

That sounds intriguing; could you say more about it? I tried looking it up online, and one of the
few results was for a "Quiz-A-Catholic" in St. Louis. Was this syndicated or franchised?

This might not help much, but in addition to the KMSP and KMOX (St. Louis) versions, I could
only find references to Quiz-A-Catholic on KTHV in Little Rock (which, based on the host and
guests, sounds like it was also the St. Louis version), as well as one that ran on KNBC in Los
Angeles circa 1965. According to a Fontbonne College (a St. Louis Catholic college) newspaper
article from February 1965, the show was described thusly:
"The object of the program is for the panelists to guess a personality, practice, object, or a
teaching of the Catholic Faith which is submitted by viewers."

So by this time WTCN was an Independent, getting Bishop Sheen and 87th Precinct from
syndication, and maybe producing Polka Jamboree on its own.
Also isn't 11:25 Central/12:25 Eastern a bit early for a baseball game, even on Sunday? That's not
the pre-game, that's the starting time. And for an Independent in 1964, I guess it was pioneering
to do a 9:30 pm newscast on Sunday. Most independents only did news Mon.-Fri. in those days.
Even many network stations outside the big markets may have skipped Sunday night news.
I also see WTCN running Amos 'n' Andy repeats, which I guess was common in 1964 but was out
of favor within a few years.

Yes, WTCN had gone independent by this time, after ABC switched their affiliation to KMSP.
And yes, that is very early for a game. I don't know if it was the first game of a doubleheader, if
there was another reason for the early start time, or if that's just the way it was with the Yankees
at the time. One of the things I'm struck by in these TV Guides is how the start and running times
of sporting events has changed. For example, many teams (in hockey as well as baseball) would
begin weeknight games at 8pm (local time), and until doubleheaders became the vogue, the
AFL's televised Sunday games often started at 3pm (ET), so that it would be an afternoon
broadcast in all time zones.
Speaking of which, the running time: most football games were assumed to run under three
hours, which is why a post-game scoreboard show often shows up in the last 15 minutes of the
timeslot. And I just did a listing (which I'm going to post in a few minutes) that has a running
time of 2:30 for a baseball game. I don't think many individual games run under that now, let
alone the average time!
On the news time, yes - the independent stations (Channel 11 back then, and Channel 9
afterwards) did those 9:30 newscasts. I can't remember if Channel 11 did them during the week
back then, but I know that by the 70s their 9:30 newscast was a staple, which Channel 9 then
adopted when they became the independent.

That sounds intriguing; could you say more about it? I tried looking it up online, and one of the
few results was for a "Quiz-A-Catholic" in St. Louis. Was this syndicated or franchised?
I'm going on memory now, so I could be off-base, but I'm inclined to think that at least some of
the episodes were local, in that local pastors were the guests. It could have been a franchised
show that had local inserts or it could have been entirely local. It would be nice if one of those
showed up on YouTube, wouldn't it?

Just noticed a typo. WTCN 11 was not NBC. Looking at Bishop Sheen on the evening line up, I
suppose this is DuMont? Are 87th Precinct and Polka Jamboree DuMont network shows? I
suppose they've got to be network shows if they have (return) after their names. Off network
syndicated shows wouldn't get a (return) listing.
Also I see they start the late news at 9:30 instead of 10 pm. Also the 12:15 offering, Silents
Please, was the name of an occasional Ernie Kovacs show. Or maybe the local station simply ran
a few silent shorts after the late movie before sign-off.
Mea culpa on the typo. I forgot to change over from the previous listing I'd done - Channel 5 was
NBC, Channel 9 was ABC, Channel 11 was independent. Only Channel 4 has stayed the same
throughout.
I don't remember if the Silents Please show was the same one that Kovacs did, but I can vouch
that his name was not included in the listings, as was often the case with network shows.

Was Minnesota on Central Standard or Central Daylight Time in those days? I'm wondering if the
baseball game started at 1:25 (EDT), which would be 12:25 (EST/CDT) and 11:25 (CST). If
Minnesota was on Central Daylight, then it's possible the game did start at 12:25 (EDT), but I
can't recall games starting that early; at the time we here in North Carolina stayed on EST in the
summer (we didn't go to EDT until 1967) and usually baseball would be on at about 12:45.

WKAR-TV was and is licensed to East Lansing, not Jackson. When MSU shared time on channel
10 with WILX (as WMSB) both were licensed to Onondaga (and shared the transmitter there).
WILX operated from Jackson; WMSB and WKAR-TV operated from the MSU campus.

Thanks for the correction. I wish TV Guide had pointed that out, as I'm not as familiar with
Michigan television as I am television in the South. My main interest in that neck of the woods is
in WJBK, then and now a sister station to Atlanta's WAGA, both of which went from CBS to Fox in
1994.

That's not a hard mistake to make, though. Even people who lived here were making it back
then. I've heard from some friends that they used to turn their antenna toward MSU because
that's where they thought the WMSB signal was coming from, then they'd turn it toward Jackson
because that's where they thought WILX was coming from. Gotta wonder how many people
suffered from bad reception on one or the other (or both) as a result and just thought that was
as good as it was gonna get!

They had radio simulcasts of cable channels? Why would they do that?

Because most TV sets didn't have stereo at the time. I had "cable radio" and used it to tape
episodes of MTV's 'Half-Hour Comedy Hour" for road trips.

I would assume that WEIQ did not program a full 24/7, and that they put C-SPAN 2 on the
channel when WEIQ was dark. Just a guess/hunch.

It's only been in the last five years or so that Alabama Public Television (including WEIQ)
broadcast 24/7.

The only downside of Cable FM that I can see there is, if you had cable hooked up to a
radio/receiver, how could you listen to regular FM on it?
And also, do you know if any cable systems in the US still offer cable FM? I think they have it on
digital cable in Seattle, but do they still offer it on analog?

In most cases you could listen to regular FM as many systems would put local stations on other
frequencies. Beyond simulcast of movie channels and early stereo services (MTV and TMC) some
systems would import signals.
Unless it's an old school system FM cable is a thing of the past replaced with DMX and other
services.

I recently came across the cable lineup for Maclean-Hunter in London, Ontario from January
1970:
Cable 12 was also used for Maclean-Hunter local cable programming, which aired sporadically at
the time. By 1972 Maclean-Hunter and London Cable TV had amalgamated their community
cable channels, and Maclean-Hunter moved it full-time to Cable 4. WWJ was likely dropped
completely as a result as the only NBC affiliate left on local cable by 1974 was WICU, when WKYC
was dropped in favour of the new Global Television Network. Other Cleveland and Detroit
stations were dropped in favour of TVOntario and CBLFT, as well as two additional Erie stations,
WJET and WQLN. The Detroit stations returned once the cable dial expanded later in the 1970s,
and one Cleveland station was added that wasn't there before, WUAB. Eventually Maclean-
Hunter moved the community cable channel to 13 - which was the channel London Cable TV
always used - which resulted in CKCO moving to Cable 6, and WSEE moving to Cable 4. CKCO
moved to Cable 12 and WICU moved to a channel in the 30s when CBLN came on in 1988 on
Cable 6, and WSEE moved to Cable 21 when CFMT came to London in 1993, taking over Cable 4.
WQLN is now the only American station on the VHF portion of the cable dial.

cable radio was not ever offered here (north Alabama) but at one time I could hook the cable up
to the stereo and get fantastic FM reception 150 mile radius or so. Doesn't work at all now on
FM. The band is so full now it wouldn't help anyway.

I've heard of cable FM radio before, although it wasn't big in my area, but I'd never heard of
cable radio on AM. Was that very common at least in some areas?

...just came across an old tape from October 1985 on which I happened to record the audio
channel lineup of the Complete Radio Channel system in Atlanta, Gerogia. It looked like this:
FM
...whoa! Were WUSA-TV and KVUE-TV on the cable system in Atlanta at that time? And how in
the world did they get WHA-AM from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (were they
piggybacked onto the WGN-TV satellite transponder like WFMT was)?...

If you notice bjbarnettmusic post is very similar to Ultimajock's original post. So I wouldn't put
much value in its validity, especially the whole AM cable thing.
As long the subject is FM cable, who were some of the FM superstations? WFMT Chicago and
KKGO LA come to mind. KKGO was jazz for many years and available via satellite on FM cable.
That changed around 1989 when KFAC dropped Classical for Rhythmic. KKGO picked up the
Classical format and KLON Long Beach replaced KKGO on the bird for Jazz.

WDDJ-FM 96.9 (Double-DJ) used to simulcast Friday Night Videos from channel 6 in Paducah
back in the '80s for the same reason: not much stereo TV availability at that time. (There were
crawls on the TV screen announcing this.) Still, I had to wonder if it was very annoying for radio
listeners who were out late listening to Double DJ on their car radios (or wherever) to have to
endure so many commercials! :
...just came across an old tape from October 1985 on which I happened to record the audio

Who was the cable franchise in Atlanta in 1985 (seriously)? I don't believe any cable-radio-only
services existed in the US. Also, while many areas offered cable FM, I don't believe there's such a
thing as cable AM (interference issues being at the top of the list).
I believe Cox was and still is the cable provider. Yes, the listing with the AM's was bogus.
Back in the early 90's I don't remember if our then cable system in Winchester, VA ( Adelphia )
offered FM radio service. I have a feeling they didn't since Winchester's WINC-FM/AM until the
late 80's actually owned our system and something tells me that part of that sale was that only
WINC can be heard on cable and no one else. WINC was used as the audio for a number of those
public service channels back then and today on at least one channel that is still the case.
Now our local hospital Winchester Medical Center, they had their own in-house cable system
which was available only on the campus of the hospital. The hospital did offer FM radio on their
system but only the stations in Winchester ( WTRM-FM, WINC-FM, WUSQ-FM and WAPP ),
No Washington or Baltimore FM station were offered on the service however the audio for a few
of the DC TV stations ( WRC, WTTG, WJLA and WUSA ) were available as well as MTV and the
Nashville Network.

I dont remember Cablevision Long Island (Woodbury) line-up, but there were several local
channels that are no longer available, such as Long Island One (channel 1) and the Swap and
Shop channel.
I have been asking around, and no one seems to know the answer to the following question.
Before digital cable was launched, the Woodbury system had a program guide on channel 14,
with a blue background. Used to say "ON CABLEVISION" then later changed to "ON OPTIMUM
TV" with adult contemporary music playing in the background. Other systems in Suffolk used to
have a radio station but it was replaced with the same music. It wasn't a radio station because
there were no commercials, and the music was quite good. It definately wasn't a digital satellite
signal, the music would often have pops and static, especially when storms were around.
The audio was in mono. When digital cable was launched they dumped the background music
and had a flashy "zap2it" style guide with commercials in the background.
With digital cable came Music Choice, maybe that was what they were using on channel 14? But
Music Choice is in stereo. TCI Cable had this "cable music" as well on their program guide, and
before they were bought out by Cablevision they sold a seperate box for DMX Music services.
Perhaps the music on our channel 14 was DMX?
I remember back in the time period there were 4 main music services, muzak, DMX, AEI, and
3M. I'd just like to know what that background music was on the EPG. I kind of miss it actually.
The playlist seemed deeper than what music choice offers.

I believe PRIME Cable was the provider in 1985. Moved there that summer and don't remember
any cable FM either. COX's corporate headquarters is in Atlanta, but the closest system is in
Macon I believe.

When I lived in Duluth proper (1990 - 1993) our cable provider was Bresnan Communications,
whose system in Duluth was absorbed into Charter Communications about five or six years after
I moved. I was only 4 - 6 years old at the time, but absolutely fascinated with TV channels, line-
ups, etc. (which helped lead to my interest in DXing) so I still remember a little bit of the lineup.
The lowest channel was 2 (VHF) and the highest was 36; our local KDLH-3 was at 4, KBJR-6 at 5,
WDSE-8 at 11, and WDIO-10 at 13. I think these channels still have those numbers (3, 6, 8, and
10, being the actual RF frequencies of those channels, are left vacant). 9 was KMSP; at the time it
was like a Minnesota superstation. A few years after I moved it affiliated with UPN and I'd often
catch it at my new house outside of Duluth. One of the curiosities was that channel 2 was
Showtime; the rest of the premiums (Cinemax, Showtime, TMC, and get this...Disney!) were in
the lower - mid 20's range. MTV I believe was 27; Nickelodeon was nearby. In the 30's I think
there were Bravo, the Weather Channel, CNBC, and the Discovery Channel. Down in the teens
was American Movie Classics and TBS. Some of the other channels not yet mentioned we had
were CNN, TNN, The Family Channel, TLC, Lifetime, WGN, TNT, VH1, USA, ESPN (but not ESPN2),
and the Midwest Sports Channel.
Much to my disappointment, right after we disconnected our cable getting ready to move
Bresnan added a bunch of channels, making the cable system span all the way up into the 50's.
Some of these I believe were Comedy Central, E!, Sci-Fi Channel, and the Cartoon Network, all
newer channels at the time. By the late 90's they were in the 70's or 80's, and rolled out digital
cable.
We moved from our house in Duluth about ten miles out into rural Hermantown, well beyond
any cable lines. But around that time a scrambled UHF "cable" provider, BEAM TV, had launched,
and we subscribed to their service, which gave us 8 channels. The line-up was:
15 Sci-Fi Channel
27 CNN
30 TBS
32 USA Network
34 Discovery Channel
56 Showtime
60 Nickelodeon
Looking back, I think it's a bit odd to offer Sci-Fi on such a basic package, but being very
interested in UFOs at the time, I sure was glad they did! They planned on adding 62, 64, 66, and
68 as future channels, but that never materialized. The antenna they provided also gave us clear
access (through the receiver) to our four local VHF stations and a TBN translator in Duluth.

Really -- what system did this ACTUALLY come from? Nick Jr. is a cable channel, not a system. And
in 2003, it wasn't even a channel.
I'll cut 'branda' some slack, based on the mention of autism in his/her 'about me' description.
Looks like a simple typo on the first line; should have been "Haksell cable", with Nick Jr. on the
next line. No need to make a big deal out of it, I'm sure.

youngtvguy do you have any TV Minneapolis schedule from 1993-94 that I want to know what
Xuxa aired exactly like KMSP 9 or KITN Fox 29?
youngtvguy we need Xuxa aired exactly like KMSP 9 or KITN Fox 29 PLEAAAAASEEEEEEEE!!!
http://www.welovesoaps.net/2014/09/t...tv-with-2.html
http://www.myretrotv.com/news/retro-...or-the-doctors
It airs starting today at 12p ET (11a CT), with 2 weekday back-to-back eps (starting off from 1967-
era shows). The Doctors is the latest US daytime soap to be aired regularly in reruns (non-same-
day) in the US, after Another World, Dark Shadows, The Edge of Night, Ryan's Hope, and Search
For Tomorrow.
Interesting that Retro TV is airing The Doctors in the same time slot(s) that the show was last
aired in while still on NBC. And, with that slot comes the same soap competition that those last
NBC airings had: The Young & the Restless.
Now all we need is for a competing nostalgia channel to start rerunning (again) "Ryan's Hope,"
the third show in the 12:30 slot at the time "Search For Tomorrow" moved to NBC and "The
Doctors" moved to 12. (I was rather unhappy when SoapNet pulled "RH," which was one of my
favorites in first-run and still think was the best-written and best-acted soap, if not the most
popular, that I've seen.) Unfortunately, ABC made a major mistake by moving "RH" to 12 and
putting "Loving" at 12:30 ("Loving" had Agnes Nixon's name on it, and with her track record with
"All My Children" and "One Life To Live," ABC tended to give her favorable treatment). The loss
of so many ABC affiliates on the East Coast doomed "RH," just as I'm sure NBC suffered too many
affiliate losses with "The Doctors" in the same timeslot.
Side note: when I was in high school in Alabama, my mom and I went with my dad to Mobile and
there, while we were out by the pool, my mom (who was a "Doctors" fan) met a woman who
had met Gerald Gordon (Nick Bellini) in an elevator in New York. I think that must have been the
highlight of that woman's life; she recalled that on seeing him she practically screamed, "You're
Nick Bellini!". Also, it was at one time a matter of pride here in North Carolina that James
Pritchett (Dr. Matt Powers) is a native Tar Heel.
Except in Los Angeles, where KFLA/8.3 runs the eastern feed of Retro, so The Doctors airs at
9:00am.

Nothing for 61 WRIP TV - anyhow even then that station was one wierd station with plenty of
local religion and syndicated Christian preaching and teaching and very little entertainment. I
believe they stayed that way until the Fall of 1981. There is a schedule from the Summer of 1981
where WRIP TV was still nearly all religious. By Summer of 82 the station was half and half - my
guess fall of 81, WRIP TV began acquiring some real programming.....Only way to get a schedule
from the 1981 era it seems is to go to Chattanooga and visit a library and look at some old
microfilm I guess.
Channel 61 became WDSI early in 1983. It was back in the Atlanta edition by 1984. I have a July
1984 edition of TV Guide and WDSI is in there. So I have TV 61 Chattanooga Schedules on this
board till Summer of 1981... None from Summer of 1981 till Summer of 82...Have a Summer of
82 on this board..But nothing from between Summer of 82 and Spring of 84. I have a Summer of
84 listing of WDSI and plenty thereafter.
1984 you'll find Channel 61. A good place to start would be on ebay;
to see what Channel 61 was doing. It was out of the Atlanta edition for a time but was
back in at least by the time it became the Fox affiliate in Chattanooga. One station that
never came back to the Atlanta edition was Chattanooga's PBS affiliate, WTCI/45.
Some of you in my part of the country may recall that in August 1980 two editions of
Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville
Knoxville/Chattanooga
Bristol/Kingsport/Johnson City
back in the '90s. Dalton's cable system carried all the Chattanooga
stations, but only WSB, WAGA, and WXIA from Atlanta (so two ABC,
two Fox, and two NBC stations, but only one CBS--WDEF.) Dalton got
the Atlanta edition, but if you went to the next county north (and the
edition. I suppose it didn't hurt to have both, if you could afford it, because
TV Guide was beginning to price itself out of range by that time (1999).
Slightly off-topic, but it was rather sad to see TV Guide go from its longtime
15 cent copy price to about $2.49 by the time it quit publishing the digest-size
version. And in the later, Murdoch years, TV Guide was far less informative and
more tabloidy.
Of course, there was a three-fold reason WTCI/45 got left out of the new Atlanta edition in the
early Eighties: 1) its signal was almost certainly the weakest of Chattanooga's OTA stations of
that time, since its licensee then was the Tennessee Board of Education, meaning it had no
autonomy to turn up the juice on its stick; 2) Georgia Public TV having a translator on channel 18
(licensed to Chatsworth) covered most if not all the counties in the northwestern corner of the
state, making WTCI superfluous there; and 3) the old 15% rule kicked in here; I've never seen a
coverage map of WTCI, but I suspect the signal did not carry much farther south of Dalton, and
certainly not down to the northwestern metropolitan Atlanta fringe, which would have been
necessary to make it.
And bp is right as rain about the quality of TVG deteriorating from the golden Annenberg days,
the years when it was America's largest-subscribed-to publication by a large margin. But then,
again, that's the raison d'etre for this forum. We can reminisce to our heart's content while
digging up our old faves on Hulu, Netflix, YouTube or wherever--on demand, not waiting for Nick
at Nite or TV Land like we had to do back in the Nineties.
bp, thanks for providing us with our word of the day: "tabloidy." (!!!)

I think this was the first week after the WSB/WXIA affiliation switch.

More accurately, it was the week of the switch; 2 and 11 made the change Monday, September
1, even though they had swapped some daytime shows during the summer. Because the NBC
soap "Texas" debuted Aug. 4, four weeks before the switch, Ch. 2 passed on it and 11 picked it
up, along with "Another World" and "The Doctors." David Letterman was passed up by Ch. 2 as
well (they'd contracted to carry Mike Douglas when Westinghouse replaced him with John
Davidson (Ch. 5) and he had to find a new syndicator), and he ended up on 11 Alive before the
switch officially took place. In exchange, Ch. 2 got "General Hospital," "One Life To Live," "Edge
Of Night, "Family Feud," and "Love Boat" reruns; everything else (day and night) changed Sept.
1. Interestingly, there was one soap Ch. 2 didn't give up until it had to: "Days Of Our Lives," while
11 Alive hung onto "All My Children" and "Ryan's Hope" to the bitter end.
IIRC, there was surprisingly little confusion about the switch. 11 Alive set up a telephone hotline
to answer viewers' questions, but only about 600-700 people called, which seems like a
surprisingly small number for a market the size of Atlanta. And I think it went off more smoothly
than the CBS/Fox switch of 1994, seeing as how CBS went down to the wire getting WGCL to take
the affiliation.

Here's a piece of trivia: Parker Fennelly, who I pointed out played Titus Moody (on Fred Allen's
radio show), was the host of NBC's "Go!" kids' show that Saturday. Probably most of you are too
young to remember Allen's Alley (or, if you're lucky, you've heard tapes of some of Allen's
shows), but how many of you remember that in the 1960s Fennelly played the character as
spokesperson for Pepperidge Farm? Also, he replaced the late Percy Kilbride (another laconic
New Englander whose performance with Jack Benny in "George Washington Slept Here" gets my
vote as one of the funniest I've ever seen, and even Benny is a funny straight man) in the last
"Ma And Pa Kettle" movie with Marjorie Main in 1956 (the name of it escapes me).

The stations shown seem to take in a wide geographical area. Were each basically available to
residents via over-the-air signals? or cable? or?

Having never visited the area, I'm going to take a wild guess and say that if you lived southwest
of Orlando and south of Tampa, you may have been able to receive all the stations listed,
especially with a good outdoor antenna.
However, the old Eastern New England Edition of TV Guide listed stations in Portland, Maine
(prior to 1965) and the VHF's in Hartford and New Haven (after 1965), which one could not
receive off-air in my hometown of Norwood, Massachusetts (about 14 miles southwest of
Boston).
Back then, you could get very strong reception of the Boston and Providence stations (except for
Channel 6 in New Bedford) in the Boston area, and with an outdoor antenna, you could get
decent-to-good reception of Channels 9 and 11 in New Hampshire, even up to 20 miles south if
Boston. Channel 6 in New Bedford was another issue again.
However, someone with an outdoor VHF antenna north of Boston likely got the Portland VHF's,
the the further north you were, the better the reception.
I would think that people west of Route 495 between Marlboro and Plainville, Masssachusetts
with high-quality outdoor antennas got Channel 3 in Hartford and maybe Channel 8 in New
Haven.

The best area for such reception would be Hardee County, southwest of Orlando and southeast
of Tampa -- the Comcast system serving that area offers most Tampa Bay channels, plus WFTV,
WWSB and WINK.

Back in '73, we lived on a hill in Lake Alfred, right north of Winter Haven, with a non-directional
outside antenna. Ch. 3, 8 and 13 from Tampa were the strongest with 6 and 9 from Orlando a
close second. Ch. 2 (Daytona) was a distant third and sometimes fought with Miami's 2. Ch. 10
(Tarpon Springs) was weak, but viewable when Miami's 10 was not trying to override it.
That left 4, 5, 7, 11 and 12 of the V's. 4 and 7 (Miami) and 5 and 12 (Palm Bch/WPB) would
sometimes drift in and out. We never got 5 out of Gainesville, nor 11 out of Ft. Myers.
I don't remember the U's we got. Lake Alfred was a good place to DX.

What I've always found strange is that I've never had any luck bringing in out-of-market stations
in flat terrain and in a one-story house (except that in Plano, TX I could get KXII Ada/Ardmore,
which just barely puts a signal into Collin County, and KSWO Lawton, OK). OTOH, in hilly terrain,
with an upstairs bedroom, I've had good luck; in Birmingham on a good night I could get WXIA (I
was watching a Hawks game there the night in 1970 that Lester Maddox walked off the Dick
Cavett show) and I watched wrestling when 11 had it. In Greenville, SC, in the mornings I could
get WGTV/8 Athens/Atlanta (PBS), WSOC/9 Charlotte (ABC), WIS/10 Columbia, SC (NBC), WXIA
(NBC), and WRDW/12 Augusta, GA (CBS). But in Tampa: no luck, not even the Orlando stations.
My relatives in Brevard County had cable, hence their ability to get three Bay Area stations (8,
13, and 44) plus the NBC station in West Palm Beach in addition to the Orlando stations (Orlando
being their home market).

On WANX/ch. 46, Jackson 5 And Friends was a pairing of two packages. The Jackson Five cartoon
aired Mondays and Fridays while elements of The Fun World Of Hanna-Barbera package ran
Tuesdays through Thursdays. Because channel 46 was owned by Pat Robertson's CBN
organization, shows and scenes depicting magic or any supernatural stuff was forbidden, so The
Funky Phantom was left out. The Perils Of Penelope Pitstop was on Tuesdays, Wacky Races and
The Amazing Chan & The Chan Clan aired on alternate Wednesdays, and Dastardly & Muttley In
Their Flying Machines aired Thursdays. Similarly on the Fred Flintstone and Friends package,
Jeannie and Goober & The Ghost Chasers were omitted and replaced with cartoons from Magilla
Gorilla and Peter Potamus.

Ah, the '68 World Series. Denny McLain (whose 31-win season will probably never be topped) vs.
Bob Gibson.

The best pitchers' duel I ever saw was not between McLain but Mickey Lolich against Gibson in
that series (Game 6, I think it was). That was a Series for the ages.

This week we read about Inger Stevens of The Farmer's Daughter (and her secret life) and a
historic opening game of the World Series, and we look at how the networks advertised their
new fall lineups. Plus Jerry Lewis, Sammy Davis Jr., Fireball XL-5, and more!
http://www.itsabouttv.com/2014/09/th...r-28-1963.html
This week's listing is from Wednesday, October 2, and I picked it because of the opening game of
the World Series. Imagine the game starting at 10:45 Central time, and expecting to be done in
less than three hours! What a concept!
Oh, and if you're watching Channel 2, make sure you learn those languages!

I was in third grade in 1963 and my local public (or educational, as it was called in those days)
station carried a Spanish-instruction show called "Una aventura espanola" two mornings a week;
we watched it in class (it was a 15-minute show as I recall). I don't see a third-grade level Spanish
in-school program on KTCA (maybe it aired on other days) but it whetted my appetite for
Spanish, and I took two years of it in high school. I took Italian in college, which, being a
Romance language (derived from Latin) is similar to Spanish, and it's my contention that if one
can learn one or the other, it's possible to learn both as well as French and possibly Portuguese.
English, OTOH, is derived from German; once I tried to teach myself how to conjugate in German
and threw up my hands in frustration.
I love Spanish; I can read a little, but I can't follow a conversation. I wish I were more proficient at
both.
Let me switch gears a minute. We know that on November 22, 1963, WFAA's program director
Jay Watson came onto the set of Julie Benell's show to announce that something unusual had
happened in nearby Dealey Plaza. (That footage has gotten as familiar as Walter Cronkite's
interruption of "As The World Turns
and his announcement of JFK's death at 2:38 PM (ET).) I wonder if anyone at Chs. 5 or 9 in the
Twin Cities took copy off the AP or UPI wires and broke into their regular programming, or
waited for NBC and ABC, respectively, to announce that JFK had been shot (Ch. 4, like Ch. 4 in
Dallas, would have picked up Cronkite's interruption of "As The World Turns.").

There's a video up on YouTube of ABC having broken into a repeat of Father Knows Best with a
bulletin on the JFK shooting. At the top of the hour, ABC goes continuous with the coverage. Out
west, ABC was local at the time (10:30 AM-11 AM PT) so stations out there most likely either cut
into programming with local bulletins or picked up ABC's bulletins.
While it's well known that CBS cut into As The World Turns with the bulletins that Kennedy had
been shot, it was certainly true in ET and CT. In Pacific Time, CBS would cut in to a repeat of Pete
& Gladys, and NBC would cut into a repeat of Make Room For Daddy in the east and Missing
Links in the west.

Again, I have to ask if Minnesota was on Central Standard Time, two hours behind Eastern
Daylight, which would account for a baseball game being played at 10:45 AM local time (12:45
PM EDT).
As for the JFK assassination question, it's obvious that KSTP and KMSP waited for the networks
to break into regular programming. "Make Room For Daddy" didn't air in pattern until 4:30 (ET)
on NBC; "Bachelor Father" was interrupted on WNBC New York and a fashion show on WRC
Washington, DC (David Brinkley wanted to break into NBC affiliate programming but his bosses
decided to wait and let New York do it; ironically, he'd been kept from interrupting the radio
soap "Front Page Farrell" for the announcement of FDR's death in 1945 for the same reason).
"Pete And Gladys" and "Missing Links," both of which were on at 10:30 AM (PT), would indeed
have been the shows interrupted on the West Coast. I wonder if ABC waited until 11 AM (PT)
and cut into the original "Price Is Right." (IIRC, all three networks were on the air with nonstop
coverage by 2 PM (ET)/11 AM (PT).)
What I'm sure of is that in Minneapolis Cronkite cut into "As The World Turns," on WCCO at
12:30.

Correct on when Make Room For Daddy aired; my source was in error. NBC was local at 1:30.

I've gotten a definitive answer on the Daylight Saving Time question - in checking the Pittsburgh
Press for October 1, it states that game time is 12:45 ET, which would have been 11:45 CDT.
Hence, you're absolutely correct that Minnesota is on Standard time at this point.
On the JFK question, the only wild card would have been Channel 11, the independent station.
That's what was on in our home at the time; my three-year-old self was watching "Lunch With
Casey," and I'm told I was quite put out when the bulletins came on. I don't know if WTCN picked
up one of the network feeds, or if their local news department cut in with bulletins from the
wire services. I must try and find that out sometime; the whole question of independent stations
covering major news stories back then is a very good one.

I think - and I don't have the issue right in front of me, so bear with me - I think that it would
have been
As I say, I'm going by memory - I can get the definitive answer tonight, but I wanted to get
something up for now.

It was not Dialing for Dollars - not yet, anyway. At 12:15p there was the Weather, followed at
12:20p by Treasure Chest, a local show that ran until 1pm.
NOTE: If necessary, NBC will pre-empt regular programming at 1 PM for the ALCS Game 4 and/or
at 8 PM for the NLCS Game 4.

7:30 San Pedro Beach Bums (some ABC affiliates, particularly in NFL cities, took this show a half-
hour early; why WTVQ did it is a mystery)
Channel 62, for about a year maybe, aired the eight o'clock network show at seven thirty and
used eight thirty for local. Not sure why they did this beyond an opportunity to charge a higher
rate for the program airing at 8:30.

Makes sense. Perhaps, too, they wanted to get a jump on "Little House On The Prairie" on Ch. 18
at 8 and a show I suspect did extremely well in Lexington. WBTV Charlotte used to do the same
thing with "The Waltons," although on a week-behind, what with the likes of "Welcome Back,
Kotter" and "Mork & Mindy" on ABC Thursdays at 8.

FWIW, this doesn't answer the question about what CBS aired at 8 on Oct. 10th,, but the
network actually moved 'Young Dan'l Boone' to Tuesday the 4th for the final episode.
NOTE: If necessary, NBC will air Game 5 of the NLCS at 5 PM and/or Game 5 of the ALCS at 8 PM.
In the event of one baseball game only, the two-hour "Wonderful World Of Disney," "Run,
Cougar, Run," will be replaced by the one-hour "The Hound That Thought He Was A Raccoon."

Strange how much I remember the Sunday religious shows on the Dayton stations. "Church By
the Side of the Road", "Good Ship Zion", both of which I think were local or regional.
Hey bpatrick, do you have any TV listings from local TV Guides from either Toledo-Lima or
Columbus Metropolitan from the time period of 1979-1983? If so, just let me know and I'd love
to see some posted!
Channel 18 was affiliated with NBC and ABC, yet they had the CBS News at 11:15? Kind of
bizarre.
For 1977, it sure was. Back in the early 60s in Atlanta, WSB (NBC) carried at least one CBS prime
time show, and WAII (ABC) carried CBS Morning News, I Love Lucy (daytime repeats) and CBS
Evening News.
Channel 2, so far as I've been able to determine, carried two CBS network shows: "Do You Trust
Your Wife?" (the first version of "Who Do You Trust?") in 1956-57. and "Stump The Stars" (the
revamped "Pantomime Quiz") in 1962-63.
Maybe WHIZ had some kind of tertiary affiliation with CBS. It was a single station market, and
without cable, I'm not sure how easy it was to get Columbus, Huntington or Wheeling.
The listing of "Rick Carter" at 11:00 A.M. on Channel 7 was University of Dayton football. He was
in his first season as coach of the Flyers in 1977.
Interesting how the NFL games in the Central Time Zone (such as at Green Bay or at Minnesota)
began at 2:00 P.M. Eastern Time back then.

Hmm, I specifically remember Hercules and Xena airing on KDAF. I have an old VHS recording of a
Xena episode with a WB 33 logo. They must've moved there in the fall of 1998.

First off, check KERA on Saturday night. That was the first place I ever saw SCTV. They also aired
Monty Python's Flying Circus on Sunday night followed by the International Cartoon Festival.
Some of those cartoons were pretty weird, but it was still fun.
Even though TV Guide lists KLTV as NBC/ABC/CBS and KXII as NBC/CBS, by this time, KLTV was
ABC primary and KXII was CBS primary.
On KXII, *most* of prime time was CBS, but they aired Today and Tonight from NBC daily.
It's interesting to see KXII going back and forth between networks on Saturday morning. Having
worked in their master control just 3 years later, I know that on Saturday morning, the networks
only gave you a 33-34 second break in between those shows. The operator had to push the
button to switch the network microwave receiver, monitor it to be sure it switched to the right
source, all while running the break, which at the time probably involved a commercial on a 2"
tape machine or a film, followed by a station ID on slide/cart. Audio and video were separate
switchers, so the operator had to use both hands to pull it off.
It was a lot to do in half-a-minute, and I'm betting they often had to sit on that ID slide waiting
for the network feed to switch. The network switch was done via a tone over a two-way radio--
with the transmitter and receiver 30 miles apart. Especially in the mornings, it might take several
presses to get the signal through.
The other challenge was knowing for sure whether the signal coming in was CBS or NBC. On
Saturday mornings (and during most time periods), the networks just fed black during the local
break. Ever tried to identify a network just from the black signal? There WAS a way to do it, but it
was not something you could easily do during a 33 second station break.
CBS's station breaks allowed you :03 for the station ID. NBC "officially" gave you 2 seconds, but
they also factored in a second of black before and after the local break.
Either way, if you were rolling a break from 2" tape, you had to roll it 5 seconds ahead of time to
get the tape rolling at full speed and the picture "locked up." (Film would lock up in 2 seconds.)
That was no problem during programs like cartoons when you knew the exact time of the break.
During live shows or programs where you didn't have a timing sheet, you just had to guess and
pray.
I don't remember the North Texas edition of TV guide ever listing KLTV as an affiliate of all 3
networks, but I could be wrong on that. But the CBS affiliation is correct, even if the only CBS
program they (we) carried was NFL Football.

That meant the Thursday night comedies they aired on Sundays would finally air on Thursdays
where they belong, as well as the returns of "NBC Nightly News" and "Another World" (for
daytime fans, which ended its run in 1999) after a decades-long absence.
Bob Barker/Dan Rather fans would have to wait till August, when K13XD marked the full-time
return of CBS in the Golden Heart City (by then, The Price Is Right would've been the last ever
show to finally switch to chyron).
They didn't have TV Guide back then, but this is what it would have had for Pittsburgh, January
11, 1949.

Which, IIRC, was the day the Buffalo-to-Chicago coaxial cable link was joined to Boston-to-
Richmond. I remember a story about a Philadelphia man who had attended Benjamin Harrison's
inauguration as a child in 1889; watching Truman's inauguration on January 20, 1949, he said
that watching from home was "the much more comfortable way."
You might want to check out the listings for WNBT (WNBC) New York for July 1, 1941 and WCBW
(WCBS) for July 2. You'll find the first telecasts of Lowell Thomas's newscast and a one-time-only
telecast of "Truth Or Consequences" on July 1; the following night is the first regularly-scheduled
game show, "The CBS Television Quiz," with host Gil Fates, who had a long career at Goodson-
Todman as producer of such institutions as "What's My Line?," "I've Got A Secret," and "To Tell
The Truth," as well as Herb Shriner's popular "Two For The Money." (His 1978 book about
"What's My Line?" is a fascinating insider's account of all three panel shows, although his
connection to Shriner is mentioned only on the dust jacket.)
WDTV, although a Dumont o&o, did a lot of horse trading with the other networks, since it was
the only station in Pittsburgh, which is how Berle (NBC) and Godfrey and Edwards (CBS)
appeared on the station. "Studio One" aired on CBS Mondays at 10 because the sponsor,
Westinghouse, is headquartered in Pittsburgh, naturally wanted to be cleared there, and WDTV
had just that one timeslot available. (That's sort of like Procter & Gamble making sure all its
soaps were carried in the headquarters town, Cincinnati, even if other companies' soaps, like
"Love Of Life" (owned by American Home Products for most of its run), got bumped. "Somerset,"
on NBC, was a P&G soap pre-empted on WLWT but picked up by then-ABC affiliate WKRC. Ah,
the vagaries of business!)
...Stand By For Crime, featuring Myron (later known as Mike) Wallace, was ABC's contribution to
that night's WDTV schedule. Significantly, it was the only Chicago-based program of the night, as
Berle, Godfrey, Edwards and DuMont's Ted Steele all came from New York...

1996 if you have any? If you do, just let me know, otherwise, you should be on the lookout for

This was some kind of Cable only local channel??? They must have had some power to get
listings in TV-Guide!
This week, the strike-interrupted baseball season comes to a close with the start of the World
Series, there's a review of television's coverage of the Anwar Sadat assassination, and a look at
how TV handled the Atlanta child murders. Plus TV movies, Mork & Mindy, expanded versions of
The Love Boat and Fantasy Island, sports, and more!

listings from Thursday, October 22. And yes, in case you were wondering, the Harriet Nelson that

Was NBC airing 'Ponderosa'/'Bonanza' nationally that afternoon for some reason? Or is it just
coincidence that every full-time NBC affiliate in that edition carried it in the same time slot?

All I have for WNOW-c9 is what you see here in the listings; perhaps the Parkersburg newspaper
carried the public-access lisitngs but I don't have any copies of the paper and can't get any. My
guess as to why it was in TV Guide is that there weren't a lot of cable channels in those days, but
I believe that area had fairly significant cable penetration due to the terrain, and thus WNOW-c9
met TV Guide's 15% rule (I have to wonder why WTAE Pittsburgh wasn't in there, being the de
facto ABC affiliate for Wheeling for years). Later, IIRC, WNOW-c9 picked up a few network shows,
such as ABC's newscast.
It's strictly coincidence that "Bonanza"/"Ponderosa" was on all those NBC stations at the same
time. The show was carried at 5 PM on ABC affiliates WTVC/9 Chattanooga and WQXI (now
WXIA)/11 Atlanta; in Florida NBC affiliate WESH/2 Daytona Beach/Orlando and CBS affiliate
WTVT/13 carried the show at different times: 4:30 in Orlando, 5 PM (later 4 PM) in Tampa.

I asked because NBC had aired repeats of the show with the 'Ponderosa' title' in prime time on
Tuesdays throughout the summer of '72, in preparation for its move to that night in the fall. That
ended up being the final season for 'Bonanza'.
Incidentally, the World Series game on this date turned out to be Game 3, due to a rainout the
night before(an odd one, a short cloudburst that drenched the Oakland Coliseum field and
parking lot, while the rest of the Bay Area was untouched.). NBC wound up showing Game 5 of
the Series on the afternoon of Friday the 20th.

"Bonanza" didn't even make it through the 1972-73 season on NBC; it was canceled in January
1973, at which point the syndicated reruns assumed the "Bonanza" title. And as you can no
doubt tell just from the very short list of stations I mentioned as carrying it in the afternoon, the
show was put into syndication in the fall of 1972. I still believe that two things contributed to the
demise of "Bonanza" on NBC: (1) the death of Dan Blocker before production started for the
1972-73 season; and (2) the withering competition of "Maude" on Tuesday nights (plus the
change from "Bonanza"'s longtime Sunday slot, so maybe that makes three things).
Still, I think your question was a valid assumption. "Bonanza" does appear to have been a pretty
good lead-in to the news; in Atlanta, I remember that Ch. 11 (not yet 11 Alive) doubled the
ratings for its 6 PM newscast; how much was because of the hiring of former NBC newscaster
Virgil Dominic as anchor and how much was because of the "Bonanza" lead-in I'll never know,
but it was a significant gain, and "Bonanza" enjoyed a more-or-less continuous run of five years
on the station.
Retro: This Week in TV Guide, October 15, 1960 - North Texas Edition
OK, I know I missed last week. Better late than never - last week's issue debuts my first coverage
of my new hometown! And there's plenty to cover, including the Kennedy-Nixon debates, the
new football war between the NFL and AFL, a controversial ABC documentary, a look at the rest
of the week's programming and more!

Since you asked, it would be nice if you would hold off on spamming this forum with any more of
these lists until the management here has created the new forum for such lists, as described
here in this thread: Policy discussion on massive spamming in the Classic TV board.
You sound just like the person on here which I will not name who corrects people on their
spelling and people using only first and last names and only comes up whenever people make
mistakes.
I think that these retro schedules are great especially those that go way way back. If you don't
like it then you don't have to post at all. Everyone is free to post whatever they want to and just
because you don't like it doesn't mean you have to spoil it for everyone on here that do.

This is way, way back when all of the world series games were played in the afternoon.
It began to change the following year when Game Four between the Pirates & Orioles was
played at night.

Hey bpatrick,
If you have any, can you please post TV listings from local TV guides from Kentucky during the
mid '90s (1993-1997) for the following listings?

Does anyone know when all the games started in the nighttime? My 1974 TV Guide lists all
weekday games at night, but weekend games still start at 1pm Pacific Time (opening games in
Los Angeles).

The first night game was Game 4 of the '71 Series between the Orioles and the Pirates. Since
1988, all games have been played at night.

The first Series in which every game was played in prime time was 1985(Kansas City-St. Louis).
That continued for the Mets-Red Sox the following year, then Game 6 in 1987 was the last
afternoon game(Had the 1988 Series lasted longer, Game 6 that year would also have been a day
game).
In 1972, baseball began a pattern of weekend day games and night games the rest of the way.
That was broken in 1976, when Game 2 of the Reds-Yankees was played on Sunday night. After
that one year experiment, 1977-1984 continued the 1972 shedule format.

I think what you're getting at, onairb, is that a previous taboo/curfew on Sunday night sports was
broken by that game 2 of the '76 Series. Remember that churchgoing habits were still strong in
this country back then, and religious leaders may have conducted a quiet campaign against ABC
and NBC to persuade them not to make Sunday night baseball (and, by extension, other pro
sports) a permanent, even if intermittent, idea. Pastors and religious leaders already faced the
earlier start times of NFL games by the early 1970s (from 2/1 CT, generally in the 60s to 1/Noon
CT to accommodate a game apiece on NBC and CBS until 7/6), causing many to skip worship
(especially in the Central Time Zone), and back then, Sunday evening services were common,
which faced the tail end of the late games that had to be carried until their conclusion (just like
today, in the aftermath of the 1968 "Heidi Game"). But one baseball game out of the nearly 200
a year was one thing; the real legacy for that Sunday night in October '76 was the NFL finally
putting one and one together and realizing that the Super Bowl was now so big that it should be
played at night, which happened a year and a half later with the 12th game on CBS on January
15, 1978 (Dallas won over Denver in New Orleans' Superdome). By '85, much of the religious
resistance had faded away in comparison to the heat the networks were feeling from the rise of
ESPN as a potential competitor and from the advertisers themselves, so the nets obliged the
leagues' preferences for prime-time coverage. It was in the second half of the '87 NFL season
that ESPN began Sunday night coverage, making the cable net a major player in sports
broadcasting for the first time, and the rest is history.

11:05 - Tush! (WTBS personality Bill Tush had his own variety show)
As you may know, CCook55, Georgia's statehood bicentennial didn't actually occur until January
'88, but WSB was on the mark here with this special, probably commemorating the five-year
countdown to it. WSB was always a "full-service," civic-minded broadcaster, and compared to
the run-of-the-mill low-quality character of local TV today, probably still is in comparative terms.
Its dominant position in the market allows it to make occasional sacrifices of network revenue to
do public service docs and the like--despite the FCC no longer breathing down their backs as was
the case in the Sixties and Seventies.
"Tush!," I believe, was Ted Turner's consolation prize to Tush after Turner, embarrassed by a
Congressional investigation into then-WTCG's news programming as Turner Broadcasting began
to ramp up for the launch of CNN back in '79 or so, had to pull the plug on Tush's hilarious, far-
ahead-of-its-time late-night news parody that was a treat for night owls back in the late
Seventies, in order to gain public credibility for his serious ambitious in the news field. You might
call Tush's comedy sketch show a Southern-fried ripoff of "Saturday Night Live," with a heavy
emphasis on send-ups of TV tropes popular during that period. The airing here was actually a
repeat, as the show went out of production about a year and a half before; Turner had
reassigned Tush to the entertainment beat on CNN by then.
You may also be aware that this was the show that launched the career of the recently-deceased
Jan Hooks, who went on to HBO's "Not Necessarily the News," "SNL" itself, and the Southern
Eighties/Nineties sitcom "Designing Women."
Noted pre-emptions from network fare was mostly Saturday morning. The only ABC show
bumped by WSB Mork & Mindy/Laverne & Shirley/Fonz; WAGA bumped CBS shows The Popeye
& Olive Comedy Show and Gilligan's Planet (Blackstar, The New Fat Albert Show and CBS
Children's Film Festival were already pre-empted by CBS for the Olympics preview and college
basketball); WXIA bumped The Jetsons and Flash Gordon from NBC.

Seventies, in order to gain public credibility for his serious ambitious in the news field.
Ironic the founder of CNN had a motto in the 70s of "no news is good news". A 1979 TV Guide
noted for a while Tush's co-host was a dog named Rex!

Interesting that college football games went directly against the NFL afternoon games. Was this a
regular thing in the 60s/70s?

Yes, networks carried college games on Thanksgiving as far back as 1953, up til 1977. When the
NFL added the annual game in Dallas to the one in Detroit, ABC tended to schedule its college
telecast to overlap with both games. ABC then carried an afternoon and an evening(early, pre-
prime time, kickoff, around 6 or 6:30 ET) game on Turkey Day in the early '70s, then, from '74 to
'77, it skipped competing with the NFL, and only had a prime-time game(9 ET kickoff, like 'MNF'
in that era; in 1976, they aired regional coverage of 3 games).
Starting in 1978, the Thanksgiving college game was dropped in favor of a game the day
after(still on ABC til 1983, then CBS took over for a number of years; in 1982 and '83, both
networks had black Friday games, then CBS had exclusive rights for one game every year through
1990; ABC regained rights in '91, and since '98, it's back to both networks doing games on Black
Friday.)
ESPN started doing Thursday night games in 1984, but skipped Thanksgiving that year; in '85,
they carried the Texas-Texas A & M game on Thanksgiving night, and that resurrected the
tradition of showing a game on Turkey Day, always in prime time. For a number of years, the 'Egg
Bowl', between Mississippi and Mississippi State, owned the ESPN prime time slot.
Since the NFL added a prime time Thanksgiving game a few years ago, the college game has once
again given up on the holiday, with more Friday games instead.

I'm curious about the absence of KCOP. Did the Palos Verdes Valley Times not carry their listings,
or were they perhaps unreadable from the Google scan?
No! Palo Verde Valley Times did not carry KCOP at all.
If that's the area i think it is, that would be a reference to Blythe CA. (I-10 and Arizona border)
the cable system carried the Peonix and Yuma Arizona stations it carried just 5,9,11(from LA) as
indie;s . then when the Fox deal that switched a lot of stations occurred ABC was lost from the
system. They added KABC 7 to their system. I think that is the case to day still but 13 KCOP and
56 KDOC were never carried so no listings for them were there.
Ah. Now that you say that, I do recall all that, and it is the correct explanation.

Thanks for the post. For anyone else asking, San Francisco listings for specific dates are
notoriously hard to find online, even on the newspaper archive subscription sites like ProQuest.
You'll have better luck finding the Oakland Tribune than the San Francisco papers(including the
Examiner when it was a Hearst daily). TV GUIDE listings for that market are even harder to come
by. I still kick myself sometimes, for getting rid of the several years' worth of 1980s S. F. Metro
Edition TV GUIDES I held onto when I was a kid.

I'll can't give you this date, because the Santa Cruz Sentinel (via Newspapers.com) "TV Update"

TV listings were in an unusual format, with two sections of just program names by time and
channel, one section for the Phoenix stations and a separate section for the Tucson and Yuma
stations. Channels 5, 10 and 12 ran ads adjacent to the listings with program details and the
Republic also had a daily column ("TV Key") with selected details of the Phoenix stations,
pretending that other parts of the state were non-existent even if programs were the same. I got
complete program titles and details for the Phoenix listings from their ads (and details for Mike
Wallace from the "TV Key"), but had to default to the main listing as printed otherwise.
There was obviously a lot of kinescope use, as can be seen from the varying times between the
three cities' airing times. You may speculate as to whether the same episodes aired in all three
or not.

A couple of questions:
Phoenix had a really odd affiliate lineup, with ABC and an indy on the low band VHF (2-6) and
NBC and CBS stuck on the high bands. How did this happen?
K.M., did you see any of the weekday lineups? We've had discussions on if and when
"Today"/"Tonight"/evening news were broadcast out west in the 50s.

I'm sure KOOL-TV's affiliation with CBS was due to the radio station's affiliation with them. That
was very common with co-owned radio/TV operations; the networks encouraged their radio
affiliates to get into television and pretty much guaranteed the affiliation even before a
construction permit was granted. No guess about the others.
There are very few issues of the Arizona Republic available for the late 1950s, but I did find
Friday, April 10, 1959.
On that date, channels 4 and 12 both carried one hour of "Today", from 7:00 to 8:00am. No
"Tonight". 11 in Yuma carried one hour of "Today" at 8:00.
Huntley-Brinkley was on both at 5:15pm. Douglas Edwards at the same time on 10 and 13. John
Daly was delayed to 9:30pm on both channels 3 and 9. It doesn't look like 11 carried any of the
network newscasts.

Looks like Mountain Zone stations carried those shows live if they carried them at all. (Wasn't
"Today" still doing three hours then, with the final hour not shown in the ETZ?) The big question
is the delay for the ABC news. Did networks kinescope their evening news programs back then?

Saturday was mostly a "kid's TV" day. Westerns and cartoons ruled the roost.
I don't remember any hockey coverage in Tucson at all during this period.
Al McCoy ("the voice of the Phoenix Suns) has been around forever.
ZaSu was indeed Ms. Pitts first name. Derived from two favorite aunt's names.
Staying up to watch bowling used to be a big deal when spending the night at a friend's house. I
do not recall just why.
When answering the station's phones the girl used to say "It's KOOL in Phoenix" and "It's KOLD in
Tucson". AFAIK the calls were accidental even though they do refer to the weather in the two
cities. KOOL was owned by the same company that owned KOOL-FM/AM and KOLD was owned
by Gene Autry, the "OLD" being the first word of "Old Pueblo", Tucson's nickname.

In looking at that lone weekday set of listings I found it appears that Phoenix and Tucson carried
their network programming in lock step, which leads me to think that perhaps the latter city's
stations were "interconnected" by using off-air feeds. High gain directional receiving antennas at
the Tucson transmitter sites could probably get a nice clear signal from the Phoenix stations
across the many miles of undeveloped desert between them. (Yuma was off-pattern on
everything, so they were probably on the bicycled kinnies circuit.)
Part of what makes me think this is that, looking at the schedule and comparing it to the
Castleman/Podrazik book everyone was for the most part carrying programming live and in-
pattern when adjusted for the time zones.
With that in mind, KOOL and KVAR probably hot-kinescoped the network news off the CBS and
NBC feeds at 4:45pm MT to air a mere 15-minutes after they had completed with the Tucson
stations forced by the interconnect to carry them at the same times. It turns out that I jumped to
a conclusion about the ABC newscast. In reviewing the network schedule there was a nightly
newscast at 10:30pm ET anchored by John Daly and it seems obvious this is what KTVK kinnied
for airing one hour later (again, with Tucson simulcasting).

It occurs to me that Daylight Saving Time was in effect on April 10, 1959 ... but Arizona, then as
now, did not honor DST. So that means on this date there was only a one hour difference
between Central Time and Arizona.
With that in mind, here are the shows that cleared in-pattern on the Phoenix/Tucson stations
based on Castleman/Podrazik, in Arizona time (underlined shows cleared in Phoenix only):
6:30am
NBC - Continental Classroom (this was probably a kinnie as the network feed was at 6:30am ET,
which would have been 4:30am in AZ)
7:00
NBC - Today
8:00
CBS - Morning Playhouse
NBC - Dough Re Mi
8:30
9:00
9:30
NBC - Concentration
10:00
10:30
11:00
CBS - News (five minutes, Walter Cronkite)
11:30
Noon
12:30pm
1:00
1:30
2:30
3:00
5:15
(both of these were live at 6:45pm ET/4:45pm AZ, had to be a "hot kinnie" as my previous post
guesses)
5:30
ABC - Mickey Mouse Club (had to be on film as 5:30pm was the ET airtime)
6:00
CBS - Rawhide
7:00
NBC - M Squad
7:30
8:00
8:30
8:45
9:30
... the ABC schedule is an hour ahead (Eastern minus one, same times as Central) and this is not
likely an error on the newspaper's part as those times match the daily KTVK ad.
I don't know how to explain that. Perhaps Bob Patrick has some thoughts?

I searched for that date in newspapers throughout the Central Time Zone and every station I
could find listings for was in-pattern with New York (one hour earlier).
When I searched in Mountain Time I was only able to find listings for one ABC station, KUTV in
Salt Lake City and it was one hour earlier than Central, which makes sense because unlike
Arizona, Utah was on Daylight Saving Time on that date.
And some more research indicates that CBS started airing a delayed feed of Douglas Edwards to
the West Coast on videotape in October 1956, so it's probable they also had a replay 30-minutes
after the live newscast by 1959, and NBC likely followed suit.

I looked at Wikipedia regarding the sign-on dates of the four Phoenix stations, getting an
explanation for the NBC and CBS affiliations on stations higher on the VHF dial, when those
networks, being the strongest, usually had the lower channels. The first TV station sign on in
Arizona was KPHO-TV 5, in 1949. It was owned by 910 KPHO Radio. It carried programming from
all four networks, CBS, NBC, ABC and Dumont.
Then as other TV stations signed on, they were able to draw a single network away from KPHO,
promising to carry most or all of that network's shows, something KPHO couldn't or wouldn't do.
In April 1953, 1490 KTYL signed on Channel 12 as a full time NBC affiliate, KTYL-TV. The station
was bought by 620 KTAR in 1955, becoming first KVAR (as seen in these listings... I guess close to
KTAR's call letters) and a few years later as KTAR-TV.
Next was an alliance between KOOL and KOY to put Channel 10 on the air in October 1953 as a
CBS affiliate, a shared time arrangement as KOY-TV and KOOL-TV. (There are still a few shared
time radio frequencies to this day, 1240 in Chicago and 89.1 shared by two universities in the
NYC area, that I know of.) A few years later, paying KOY $200,000, KOOL was able to get the
channel full time, which we see in these listings. Interestingly, the KOOL call letters are still
associated with CBS, on a CBS-owned FM Classic Hits station in Phoenix.
Then in 1955, Ernest McFarland, first a U.S. Senator, then Governor, signed on KTVK. He chose
those call letters because, as someone who didn't own any radio stations, he wanted "TV" to be
in his station's call sign, the station's "middle name" as he put it. Wikipedia doesn't explain how
McFarland got the ABC affiliation away from KPHO. By this point KPHO was still carrying ABC and
Dumont shows, although I'm sure everyone knew Dumont was the weakest network. By the
following year, the Dumont network shut down. Maybe ABC figured it would be smarter to
affiliate with a company owned by an important politician?
So by the time these TV listings were current, KPHO had gone from four networks to three, two,
one and then none. Without the support of a network, KPHO doesn't bother to sign on till
1:30pm, and with no ABC offerings in the morning or early afternoon, KTVK doesn't sign on till
2pm. Looking at TV listings before 1960, it was only ABC stations in the largest cities that would
sign on in the morning, cobbling together an assortment of cartoons, movies, local kids shows,
local cooking shows and local talk/variety shows until ABC network programming would begin by
mid-afternoon. At least that's what WJZ-TV/WABC-TV did in its early days in NYC. Obviously in
1958, KTVK wasn't able to do all that local programming.
And to fill up its daytime schedule on this Saturday afternoon, KPHO runs three free-for-the-
asking shows, "Big Picture," supplied by the U.S. Army, "This Is The Life," supplied by a church
organization, and something they call "Industry on Parade" which was a catch-all name many
early stations gave to free industrial films, such as the wonders of modern lighting, supplied by
General Electric.

506sports.com(the sports TV forum) confirms that there was only one NBA game (on NBC) and
NHL game (on CBS) that day. The hockey game had a start time of 2 ET, while 506 doesn't have a
start time listed for basketball, but it looks like Tucson had the NBA game live.
Which makes the 45-minute discrepancy in the listings more confusing, since we've pretty much
established that Tucson was likely getting its network feeds via Phoenix and wouldn't be able to
run any network programming on their own.
I'd also have to guess that KIVA/11 in Yuma was picking up the basketball game via Tucson. I
wonder what the picture looked like after two off-the-air hops.

For the two NBC prime shows listed as being in color on KVAR 12, did it indicate that KVOA 4 was

I can't believe that KOLD 13 didn't air Gunsmoke (Sat 10:00 PM ET) off the net feed! Any idea
when it aired?
The Perry Mason episode on KOOL 10 was a one-week delay--it aired on the network Jan 18
(7:30 PM ET). KOOL was probably sent a 16mm film print. I doubt it if any of the listed stations
had VTRs by early in '58.

KOOL was owned by the same company that owned KOOL-FM/AM and KOLD was owned by
Gene Autry, the "OLD" being the first word of "Old Pueblo", Tucson's nickname.
KOOL was also owned by Gene Autry (and Tom Chauncey, among others).

their network programming in lock step, which leads me to think that perhaps the latter city's
stations were "interconnected" by using off-air feeds.
KOLD originally had its own CBS Telco line, up until sometime in 1959. They then hooked up with
KOOL, via a private microwave link from Phoenix to Tucson (KOOL studio...S Mtn...Pinal Peak...Mt
Bigelow...KOLD studio). That was in place 1959-1977, when KOLD "divorced" itself from KOOL
and re-established its own Telco line from CBS.
[(Yuma was off-pattern on everything, so they were probably on the bicycled kinnies
circuit.)/QUOTE]
Back then, the (15 min) evening newses were on at 6:45 ET and repeated at 7:15 ET.
KIVA Yuma was even stranger than Tucson. Their network feeds were the off-air signals grabbed
from the El Lay stations somewhere SE of L.A., then microwaved (multi-hop) to Yuma. Many
programs (in winter) were "Pacific Time + one hour."
KGUN, in the 1960s, had a microwave link from KTVK--this may well have dated back into the
'50s.
KVOA had its own Telco line, as KVAR did. KVOA did establish a microwave link with KTAR (ex-
KVAR) in the early 1970s.

It occurs to me that Daylight Saving Time was in effect on April 10, 1959 ... but Arizona, then as
now, did not honor DST.
DST was NOT in effect on 04/10/59. It didn't begin until the last Sunday in April...and its end in
the fall was a whole mismosh of different dates (the latest end date was the last Sunday in
October).

October).
I'm sure as the discussion continues all the remaining anomalies will be settled, so I will sit back
now and only jump in where there are questions about my source material.
If I had access to an Iowa edition of TV Guide, or microfilm of the Des Moines Register, I'd
provide the whole day. For the record, the last show aired on KVFD-TV was The Life and Times of
Grizzly Adams.
It was 7 pm, and engineer Don Lewis had rejoined the NBC feed after an hour of local programs.
He'd been monitoring severe weather activity that afternoon and evening. At 7:15, a Webster
County sheriff's deputy spotted a tornado several miles south of town. Tornado sirens were
activated in Fort Dodge. Lewis was able to broadcast tornado warnings several times from the
station. At 7:30, there was only enough time for him to dive to safety under a steel table before
the station took a direct hit.
A John Wayne movie was on the schedule at 8 pm for NBC's Wednesday Night at the Movies. It
wouldn't be seen, nor would KVFD-TV ever return to the air. The station's 650 foot tower at the
studio didn't fall, but suffered major structural damage. Tower experts remarked that they had
never seen a tower take so much damage and still remain standing.
KVFD's owner and founder Ed Breen made the decision to dismantle the tower. Breen, at age 78
had been trying to sell KVFD-TV for some time, but vowed to rebuild the station anyway.
Unfortunately, cancer would take Breen's life less than a year later, which marked the end of
commercial TV in Fort Dodge.
KVFD-TV started out life as KQTV in November 1953 on channel 21. Unlike most UHF stations of
the time, KQTV actually survived, having a monopoly of sorts in the Fort Dodge area. WOI-TV
from Ames was the only other station that reached Fort Dodge at that time. Des Moines'
channel 8, KRNT-TV (later KCCI) wouldn't start up until 1955. WHO-TV the NBC affiliate on
channel 13 started in 1954, but its tower 15 miles east of Des Moines at the WHO-AM site was
too far away to reach Fort Dodge. So it was a natural decision for KQTV to be an NBC affiliate.
KQTV would take the calls of Ed Breen's AM station KVFD in 1967. In the early 70's, Breen built a
1200 foot tower for channel 21 northwest of Fort Dodge. tv Increased revenues didn't follow, so
when Iowa Public Television proposed to build a Fort Dodge station, Breen offered the channel
21 tower to IPTV. KVFD-TV would take over IPTV's channel 46 license, modified to channel 50 as
a used antenna and transmitter tuned to that channel was available. It was installed at the
original 650' tower site next to the studio. KVFD spent less than a year on channel 50 before the
tornado 37 years ago this week put the station into the archives.

provide the whole day.
Well, I have been able to access the Sunday television supplement for that week in the Register
and here it is, complete with the abbreviations the newspaper used to fit everything into its
assigned space. (Amazingly enough, in 1977 they were still listing each station's schedule
individually, forcing viewers to consult 25 separate sets of program listings every time they
wanted to see what was on ... the high number because of the inclusion of stations in Sioux City,
Omaha and elsewhere in a fairly wide radius.)
Anyway, here is what aired up until channel 50's abrupt demise that day:
7:00 Today
9:00 Club
4:00 Bozo
4:30 Bullwinkle
5:00 D. Friend
5:30 NBC News
7:00 Grizzly
Between the separate listings and the abbreviations, I wonder if anyone actually used the
Register for a guide.

I did!
Believe it or not, when in the late 70s the Register moved to the more accepted convention of
listing by time instead of by station, there were complaints. The Register relented, and for a few
years published listings both by time and by station. The listings-by-station format had been used
by the Register going back to the 50s, so the readers were well conditioned to it.
The following flight of fatuous fancy would not have been possible with listings by time instead
of station:
Had...
...been combined into a single program, "Girl Talk: Give Away Barb Creates Another World," the
description might have read like a tale of Greek mythology crossed with a twist of Jerry Springer.
Gossip-py gab about a promiscuous Greek goddess who couldn't take the heat from her girl-
frenemies, so she tells them to stick it in Uranus and gallops to a grand new galaxy.
And who can we thank (blame) for this whole mess? WHO. KVFD-TV picked up NBC over-the-air
from preemption-prone WHO-TV which at the time ran movies from 12:30 to 2 pm, so KVFD had
to come up with their own programming.
A few years back, I wrote a brief history about Ed Breen and KVFD that I should post here, but
that will wait for another day.

When did the Register split their TV listings to "eastern Iowa" and "western Iowa" versions (with
both versions containing the DSM stations)?

Maybe the 70s, sometime? The daily paper for Des Moines metro only listed the Des Moines &
Ames stations, along with radio listings. In the late 60s, they had most of the TV stations plus DM
radio listings (yes, actual schedules) in the daily edition we got in eastern Iowa, but the radio
listings were dropped at some point, maybe in the early 70s. By the late 70s, I think the radio
schedules were dropped in the metro edition, although they continued with a list of radio
stations.
As far as Sundays, I think there were multiple editions... east, central, and west... I think even
before cable channel listings began taking up space. But I'm not really sure as we didn't get the
Sunday paper.

This is one of the better KVFD schedules, a little disappointing their last day on the air didn't
have a single "film feature" or "travel to adventure" slotted somewhere.
The "Club" at 9am is the PTL Club, obviously buying the time. So they were wiping out two hours
of NBC programs (that were carried by WHO) while having to fill 90 minutes in the afternoon due
to the WHO movie. I suppose they didn't have enough video recorders to record the NBC 9-
11am programs while playing PTL Club.

Another show that was a regular feature in that 12:30 to 2 pm slot on KVFD was the ongoing
saga, "To be ann." "To be ann." in most other markets was a staple of Saturday afternoons, with
"T.b.a." occasionally showing up on all three channels in a given market. Of course that was the
Register's shorthand and probably inside joke for "To be announced."
My older brothers both carried the Register, so as far back as I can remember we always had the
Sunday edition, and occasionally the daily paper if they had extra copies. In the 60s the
Register's Sunday edition showed all of the stations that could be received in Iowa. The
"Northwest" part of the page was occupied by the Sioux Falls and Sioux City stations (and I think
ch.12 KEYC Mankato MN); "Southwest" by Omaha and St. Joseph, MO (ch. 2 KFEQ, later KQTV
really was kind of a stretch); "Southeast" by Ottumwa, Hannibal MO/Quincy IL and the Quad
Cities; "Northeast" by Cedar Rapids-Waterloo, Mason City-Austin-Rochester and La Crosse WI
(ch.8 WKBT, another stretch); and "Central" were the Des Moines stations plus Ames and Fort
Dodge. I'm not sure about the daily Register in the 60s. I think the eastern half of the state got a
different edition than the western half. Des Moines was in both, but the eastern edition didn't
have listings from the west and vice versa.
The split, eastern-western Sunday editions of the Register's TV listings definitely started in the
early 70s.
And then there's the ol' PTL Club. That was a staple of a lot of small market stations. KTVO in
Ottumwa, or rather by then Kirksville, ran Jimmy and the Make-up Pancake generally around
3:30 or 4 pm.
Such extensive newspaper TV listings seem rather odd today. But up until the early 80's, the Des
Moines Register was one of the few morning newspapers in Iowa. Most other regional
newspapers in the state were afternoon papers. Even the Cedar Rapids Gazette was an afternoon
paper.

KTVO ran the PTL Club from 9 to 11AM starting in at least 1978 (maybe earlier). Later on, KTVO
only carried one hour of PTL, putting "Donahue" on at 10AM. In 1981, KTVO dropped PTL
altogether, along with the local noon newscast, and finally aired ABC daytime in pattern.

Am I correct in assuming this 4 hour gap was for instructional television? I didn't think PBS
stations were still running them this late in the daytime...WVIA in Scranton stopped that practice
in 1989.

I even wanna know WJTC's 1997, 1998, and 1999 Weekend morning schedules. I went to the
achieved sites of WJTC to look at the weekend morning listings from the mentioned years, but it
wouldn't show up at all.
You know what time when 1997 Mr. Men aired on WJTC?

Could have but didn't. By that time, channel 69 didn't clear anything from NBC that WXIA pre-
empted. (In fall of 1988, channel 69 aired three NBC Saturday morning shows on a delay that
WXIA bumped.)
In this Oklahoma TV Guide, two names stand out: Will Rogers, Jr., son of the famous humorist,
and Johnny Carson. Rogers does a wake up show on the CBS network called "Good Morning,"
but it's only carried for an hour on the Tulsa outlet and not at all on the Oklahoma City affiliate.
Oddly, Roger's Wikipedia bio says he did the CBS morning program in 1958, but here it is in 1956.
This was one of the first of many CBS attempts to compete with the NBC Today Show, something
the network is still trying to get right 58 years later.Johnny Carson is seen for 15 minutes each
weekday on the CBS affiliate in Tulsa. I'm guessing that station is picking up 15 minutes of a half-
hour weekday variety show on the network? KOTV does news at noon and joins Carson at
12:15pm. The Oklahoma City affiliate doesn't carry it at all. Each day Carson does a feature, such
as back-to-school fashions or an interview with actor Jack Haley (Wizard of Oz), along with
singers Tommy Leonetti and Betty Holt doing a couple of tunes. Daytime variety shows that
mixed comedy, music and conversation were big in the early days of TV, with Arthur Godfrey,
Garry Moore, Tennessee Ernie Ford and others doing similar shows.
Also note that both NBC affiliates carry only one hour of the Today Show and one hour of the
Tonight Show. Being in the Central Time Zone, KVOO-TV and WKY-TV didn't want to sign on at
6am to catch the first hour of Today. And in late night, they wanted the revenue from running a
half-hour syndicated show, as well as 30 minutes of news, in the 10pm hour, so they joined
Tonight in progress at 11pm. That was well after Steve Allen's monologue and skits had already
aired, which would have begun at 10:15pm local time, 11:15 in New York. Until a few years ago,
many Central and Mountain Time Zone stations, not owned by the networks, delayed Letterman,
Nightline and even the Tonight Show, to air syndicated programming after the late news, so they
could sell most of those commercials themselves. But at least the network's late night shows
were aired in their entirety, thanks to videotape delay, something that wasn't available till the
late 1960s, I believe.

KVOO (now KXII) Channel 12 in Ardmore had signed on the previous month. It'd be great to see
their schedule from that day or any time in that era (before they moved their main studio to
Sherman, Texas).

The several ABC affiliates that were based in smaller cities in Oklahoma in '56 prompted me to
go snooping around in David "Eduardo" Gleason's American Radio History site. By the way,
thanks for putting this incredible resource online. I remember rummaging through old yearbooks
at the university library back in the day and to think these old relics, hard to find as they were,
were in real danger of disappearing. Now, they've never been more accessible.
KGEO-TV, channel 5 appeared to be based in Enid in 1956, although with an 816 ft tower it
would seem they were also going after OKC. The Broadcasting Telecasting yearbook for 1955 -
1956 doesn't list the transmitter location, but I'd guess it was in between Enid and OKC. Anyone
in Oklahoma care to fill in some details? KGEO-TV Enid eventually became KOCO-TV Oklahoma
City. Guess it will take some more digging to find the year that happened.
KGEO apparently had enough signal in Oklahoma City to knock out the ABC affiliate in OKC, listed
in the same yearbook as KTVQ, channel 25. At least it wasn't present in the listings above from
September 1956.
KTVX channel 8, while licensed to Muskogee clearly was a Tulsa station, owned by Tulsa
Broadcasting Company which also owed KTUL radio. I'm guessing the Muskogee studios from
1956 have been retired for what is now KTUL-TV Tulsa.
I'll have to dig some more to find when these two stations moved to the big city.

6:25 Les Paul & Mary Ford--Music (Yes, a five-minute syndicated music show.)
According to Hal Erickson's "Syndicated Television", five and ten minute shows were actually
pretty common in 50s TV. Usually, they were filmed half hours that were not plot driven and
therefore could be easily spliced into shorter segments. The last show of this "filler" type was a
Stiller and Meara comedy skit show that briefly aired in the 1970s.

Would it be safe to guess those shows were used as "interstitial" programming in the days when
the FCC limited commercial time (before the Bicentennial Minute)? Now they just spread a few
extra minutes of spots through the main show.

Likely a repeat of a sad story told far too many times in the 1950s and 1960s. UHFs, even with
network affiliations, dropped like the proverbial flies when in competition with VHFs. If viewers
could get a network station from another market relatively clearly, they would not invest in a
new set or converter and a second antenna to get the same programming from a local station.
KTVQ operated for two years, from November 1, 1953 until December 15, 1955 (explaining its
absence in these listings from nine months later). It was acquired by the Oklahoma City School
District in the bankruptcy hearing and resumed operation February 2, 1959 as KOKH-TV. It was
later sold by the District and resumed commercial operation October 1, 1979, having been a
non-commercial station operating on a commercial allocation for 20 years.

UHF stations really had a hard time outside of markets where all or most of the stations were on
VHF. And with a call sign of KTVQ, I assume Channel 25 was a stand-alone operation. No help
from a co-owned radio station or newspaper to subsidize it in its early days. It was only when the
FCC ordered all TV sets to have UHF as well as VHF reception that UHF started to become
profitable in most VHF-dominated markets. I remember growing up in New Jersey, where we had
all our major NYC TV stations on VHF, network, independent and educational. My family didn't
have UHF reception until my dad bought a second TV, a small portable set, after the FCC
mandate.
How many FM stations also failed in the days when most radios were AM-only? Of course, unlike
UHF TV, owners of successful AM stations could add a simulcast FM operation, even if they didn't
really know what to do with it or how to market it. Some AM owners even gave up their FM
license without building it, or sold off the FM station to someone willing to pay a few bucks for it.

Hey Gregg.,
do you have any TV listings from local TV guides from either Oklahoma City or Tulsa from the mid
1980s? (1982-1986) if so, just let me know via reply or PM, and I'd be grateful if you posted
some!

Anyone see this game? Obviously the networks didn't follow up with the announcerless game,
but I'd like to find out what contemporary reactions were to the game.

Champaign stations WICD-15 and WCCU-27 were never carried in the Western Illinois edition of
TVG, although both stations were/are partial (WICD) or full (WCCU) satellites of their Springfield
counterparts which were listed in this edition (WICS-20 and WRSP-55 respectively).
A different channel 15, KYOU (Fox) Ottumwa, Iowa was listed in the Western Illinois edition
starting around 2000. Also WAOE-59 Peoria began to be listed in the Western Illinois edition
(which was also the edition serving the immediate Peoria area) after they signed on in late 1999,
but this station never, ever appeared in the Eastern Illinois edition (which also served the
Bloomington side of the Peoria-Bloomington market) till the dark day that TVG ended local
listings.

6 Hee Haw (Guests: Dennis Weaver, Dottsy, Randy Boone and Woody Woodbury)
Looks like by December 1980 WHBF-4 was finally starting to clear "Incredible Hulk" on Friday
nights at 7 rather than airing "Hee Haw" (which they did during at least the 1979-80 season).
6:00
6 Marie (Guests: Tony Orlando, the Pointer Sisters and Jay Johnson) (delay from Friday 7 P.M.)
What was WOC airing on Fridays at 7 that winter which bumped NBC's network showing of
"Marie?" I know that since at least '78 they had been bumping/delaying the entire NBC 7PM slot
on Fridays in favor of syndicated fare (e.g., "Wild Kingdom," "Name that Tune," "Bob Newhart
Show" reruns).
Ironically, during the network run of "Sanford and Son" (1972-77), WOC was the only Iowa-based
NBC affiliate taking the show live Fridays at 7--the remaining Iowa NBC stations (WHO-13 Des
Moines, KWWL-7 Waterloo, KTIV-4 Sioux City, and the ill-fated KVFD-21 Fort Dodge) aired "Hee
Haw" from 6:30-7:30 Fridays bumping Sanford to tape-delay on other nights during the week.

...during this period, WBBM-TV/2 shared the channel on Wisconsin, Minnesota and North

would WBBM-TV share on Western Illinois cable systems?...

In this issue of TV Guide, it appears WOC was running "The Muppet Show" Friday night at 7:00,
followed by "Pink Panther" reruns at 7:30.
I have an issue of TVG from June of 1979, and it appears WOC was running "The $100,000 Name
That Tune" Friday nights at 7:00, followed by reruns of "The Bob Newhart Show." "Diff'rent
Strokes" and "Hello, Larry" were delayed to Saturday at 6:00 and 6:30, respectively.
In an issue of TVG from May of 1978, WOC was running "The $100,000 Name That Tune" Fridays
at 7:00, followed by the syndicated version of "Tattletales." In this particular issue, "The Life and
Times of Grizzly Adams" was the pre-empted/delayed program, but it appears this was a special
showing of "Grizzly" and not the show normally shown on NBC Friday nights at 7:00. The
previous Saturday, WOC is listed as airing a show called "Space Force," which is listed as a pilot,
and I assume was what was shown on NBC the previous Friday. WOC ran "C.P.O. Sharkey"
following the pilot. Wikipedia says that during the winter of that season, NBC was showing
"Quark" on Friday nights at 7:00, followed by "C.P.O. Sharkey." In the summer of '78, it was
"C.P.O. Sharkey" Friday nights at 7:00, followed by "Chico and the Man." Incidentally, it appears
in this issue that WEEK was pre-empting "The Man from Atlantis" on Tuesday nights at 7:00,
substituting "Emergency One" in the time period. It does not appear that WEEK bothered to
show "The Man from Atlantis" in an alternate slot. This particular week, WEEK also pre-empted
"NBC Saturday Night at the Movies" with a syndicated movie...not sure if that was a one-time
incident or something that happened every week during that period.

4-10 - Hullabaloo - The Righteous Brothers host; Nancy Sinatra, Mel Carter, Paul Revere & The
Raiders, Paul and Barry Ryan
...all of these were music-based variety shows geared towards teenagers. ABC's "Where The
Action Is" was a Dick Clark Production, starring Paul Revere & The Raiders, in the weekday time
slot Clark's "American Bandstand" had vacated in 1963; Paul Revere & The Raiders would return
to the time slot with "It's Happening," another Dick Clark joint, in 1968. "Shebang" and "Ninth
Street West" were direct competitors hosted by local radio disc jockeys, the former being KRLA's
Casey Kasem and the latter being KHJ-AM-FM's Sam Riddle. Curiously enough, "Shebang" was
taped not in Los Angeles, but at KERO/23 Bakersfield. "Ninth Street West" eventually morphed
into other series geared towards teenagers in the same time slot on KHJ-TV, most using other
KHJ Radio personnel: "Groovy," a beach-based dance party hosted by Michael Blodgett; "The
Groovy Game," a retread of "Juke Box Jury" co-hosted by Riddle and teen model Kam Nelson;
"The Robert W. Morgan Show," and "The Real Don Steele Show." Steele also hosted a Saturday
evening version of "Ninth Street West," which was nationally syndicated as "Hollywood A-Go-
Go." Lloyd Thaxton on KCOP was the father of Hollywood rock 'n roll TV, having started at
Channel 13 in 1958; by 1964, the Thaxton show was syndicated nationally. And, of course, NBC's
"Hullabaloo" was one of two mid-'60s prime time teen music series (ABC's "Shindig" with KRLA's
Jimmy O'Neill was the other one) that the networks tried out...
10 PM
...would this have been a locally-produced special or series? And were any KHJ Radio disc jockeys
involved in this show as well?...

The synopsis shows that Tony Reese was Catman and Pepper Davis was his sidekick Reuben.
Reese and Davis were a Las Vegas nightclub act. They also did comedy albums. It was probably a
local shot as KHJ took out excitable blurbs touting the show ("WHERE'S CATMAN? WHO'S
CATMAN?" and "CAN YOU TAKE IT? CATMAN'S ALMOST HERE!")
And a quick correction: The NBC News capsule at 10:25 AM is incorrect. It should be at 9:25 AM,
following Eye Guess.

...thanks for clarifying about "Catman." BTW, the 9:15 newscast on KHJ-TV/9 may have been co-
anchored by Ann Marshall; she had been an actress, including a stretch as a semi-regular on "My
Favorite Martian" as Bill Bixby's girlfriend, before apparently becoming L.A.'s first late news
anchorwoman; a photo of her in her KHJ-TV days is at http://ann_marshall0.tripod.com/id2.html
on her Tripod site. She later turned to singing and became a member of The Mike Curb
Congregation and lead vocalist for Heaven Bound...

...the KPOL-TV schedule is interesting. It looks as if they were simply trying to stay on the air at
this point; Rex Bell and Rex Lease were stars of quickie Westerns in the 1930s, the latter of
whom had in fact just died the previous month. Rainbow Valley was the title of one of John
Wayne's cheap Westerns for Monogram Pictures in 1935, running only 52 minutes, so I suspect a
chopped version of that film is what was shown at 5:30. "The Trouble with Father" was an
alternate title for "The Stu Erwin Show," the 1950-55 ABC sitcom. Interestingly, The Return of
The Whistler was one of those hour-long film noir items that co-starred Dick Lane, who by this
time was doing double duty on KTLA/5 and KCOP/13, announcing both pro wrestling matches
and Los Angeles Thunderbirds "Roller Games" (a variation on Roller Derby). Later in 1966, KPOL
would sell off the TV station, and its new owners would rename it KWHY-TV, making it into
primarily a financial news outlet during the day and ethnic independent in late afternoons and
evenings...

Any idea when KABC moved the movie to (presumably) 3:30, and started doing news at 6
o'clock? Also, does that one hour of news at 5 include whatever ABC's national newscast was at
5:30?

Probably did--the Herald-Examiner TV supplement (TV Weekly) was riddled with omissions, so it
was hard to tell.

Marshall's website bills Marshall as the "first female newscaster" So not true! Ruth Ashton Taylor
- the first woman and first Latina newscaster on radio (KNX), appeared on KNXT as early as 1951.
I remember Taylor anchoring mid day news on the weekends, but it may have been shortly after
Marshall on KHJ, gving Marshall bragging rights to "first woman anchor." Also worth noting -
"30/60 News" was a joke - just a news brief of no more than a minute in length, at least 20
seconds of which the anchor had to tease The Million Dollar Movie or some other Channel 9
program.

IIRC, KABC moved its movie to 3:30 in 1974, adding a 5 PM "Eyewitness News" and moving ABC
News to 7 PM (in the early '80s LA was one of five markets--the others being New York,
Washington, Boston, and Atlanta--where all three network newscasts aired at 7; it was the
success of "Jeopardy!" at 7 on the ABC o&os in the late '80s that started the move on the part of
all network affiliates to air the news at 6:30, although WSB Atlanta (ABC) and WRC Washington
(NBC) still air their network newscasts at 7, as do CBS's WJZ Baltimore, KDKA Pittsburgh, WRGB
Schenectady, and WCAX Burlington, VT).
When KABC (and KGO, IIRC) made the change to a 3:30 movie and 5 PM newscast, the ABC
daytime schedule began to follow the Central time zone (10:30 AM-3:30 PM), although there
were exceptions: "The Big Showdown" aired at 2:30 ET/1:30 CT/11:30 PT; "The Money Maze"
was on at 4 ET/3 CT/11 AM PT. I don't know exactly when, but ABC's Pacific stations finally began
airing the network's daytime schedule just as it was in the Central time zone. Perhaps someone
has some LA schedules from the late '70s/early '80s; I don't.

Neither do I, but I had a feeling that KGO and KABC would have made that schedule change, if
not simultaneously, then a very short time apart. San Francisco(initially) was one of the few
markets with an ABC O & O which did not air "Jeopardy"; the show, and 'Wheel of Fortune", did
not move to KGO until early 1992, when KRON had to drop them in order to do the experiment
with 'Early Prime' scheduling(7 to 10 PM prime time).

Later in 1966, KPOL would sell off the TV station, and its new owners would rename it KWHY-TV,
making it into primarily a financial news outlet during the day and ethnic independent in late
afternoons and evenings...
100% correct, King Daevid. A quick check of the Broadcasting archives shows that the sale was
announced at the end of May, 1966. The new owners held minority interests in Coast Radio
Corp., which was KPOL-AM/FM's licensee (the sale of which to Capital Cities had been
announced in early March) and 90% owner of KPOL-TV's license. Essentially, majority owner
Hugh Murchison was retiring from the business. And, since the radio and television stations were
going to be under separate ownership, the change in call letters was required. An article in
Broadcasting's November 7, 1966 issue implied that KWHY-TV was specifically chosen because it
fit the new stock market/business news format; since the calls changed in August and the
ownership didn't really "change" I would presume that was the plan all along and that the
minimal programming shown above for KPOL-TV continued for a while. I haven't been able to
pin down exactly when they started selling airtime for foreign language telecasts in the evening
but my personal recollections is that those were taking up all the evening and weekend airtime
by 1973 at the latest.

If the archives from which these listings were derived extend into 1968-1969, I'd like to see a
typical day from that period which included KKOG/16 in Ventura ... and/or if they include 1962-
1964, a day that included KCHU/18 San Bernardino.
The synopsis shows that Tony Reese was Catman and Pepper Davis was his sidekick Reuben.
Reese and Davis were a Las Vegas nightclub act. They also did comedy albums. It was probably a
local shot as KHJ took out excitable blurbs touting the show ("WHERE'S CATMAN? WHO'S
CATMAN?" and "CAN YOU TAKE IT? CATMAN'S ALMOST HERE!")
And a quick correction: The NBC News capsule at 10:25 AM is incorrect. It should be at 9:25 AM,
following Eye Guess.
You cannot believe how many years it has taken me to obtain proof that the show "Catman" ever
existed. It aired on KHJ TV 9 a total of 3 times. The first episode ran twice, and the second
episode ran once. It was similar to Fractured Flickers where silent footage was dubbed over. The
start of the show had a sexy girl in bikini chained to a wall. It was most likely produced locally at
channel 9.

Oh, just for the record, I found listings for KCHU's entire history in the San Bernardino Sun
archive at Newspapers.com, so you can cancel that request I made back in June.

(NBC) out of San Diego.

KM Richards TV Listings
I thought perhaps Ccook would appreciate the very few gaps in the Her-Ex's listings being filled,
so I pulled up this date from the San Bernardino Sun and the Long Beach Independent and did
some cross-checking.
Anything I do not list below was the same in all three papers, but bear in mind that the only non-
L.A. station I could cross-referenced was KFMB/8, via the Sun. However, that paper also had
listings for local NET station KVCR/24, so I've added that. (If San Diego is important to anyone, I
can see if the Union-Tribune is available for that date.)
It appears that much of what was not listed in the Her-Ex was programs of 15 minutes' or less
duration.

And now, some bonus content for the Unregistered Guest who was trying to prove the existence
of "Catman".
First, a mention in Terry Vernon's "Tele-Vues" column in the Independent on this date:

And the Independent rated it as one of two "Top Viewing Today" shows:

I had noticed that "Friendly Giant" (a favorite kids show of mine in the day) was listed for
Channel 28 at 5:30 but now I see at 5:45 is "Sing Hi, Sing Lo." Since Friendly Giant was only a 15
minute show, I figured something was missing at 5:45. NET stations had to find another show to
fill out the half-hour if they ran The Friendly Giant. I also see that "The French Chef" is listed on
Channel 28 at 12:30pm, with another showing on Channel 24 in San Bernardino at 6pm. So if
you had a good UHF antenna, you had Julia Child twice that day.
And I appreciate the info on KPOL-TV. I'd imagine it was almost impossible to run a successful
UHF Independent station in a market where there were already four VHF Independent stations.
What off-network programs were left once KTLA, KHJ, KCOP and KTTV got their hands on the
available syndicated shows to fill up their schedules? And how many TV viewers even bothered
with UHF receivers and antennas when they had three network and four Independent stations
on VHF? I'm sure that hurt KCET 28 in its early days as well.
One note about "The Pancake Man" at 7:30am on KABC-TV 7. I remember the show running in
NYC as well, which I'd catch it some mornings before going to school. It was a rotund guy dressed
in a white smock and chef's hat, pushing IHOP dishes between airings of some sort of animated
programming. Was it Coco The Clown cartoons? He sang his own song about "I'm the Pancake
Man!" But it was low budget. I don't think he had any musical instrument accompany him. In
those days, be it Buffalo Bob, or Pinky Lee, the host of a kids program would open the show
singing a song about himself. The Pancake Man would show us dishes of pancakes, and he'd
pour blueberry or raspberry syrup on them, something revolutionary in a world where pancakes
were always served with maple-flavored syrup. I think I asked my parents if we could go to an
IHOP but in those days there weren't that many restaurants in the chain and none near us. I
wonder if IHOP gave the stations the show for free since so much of it was a promotion for their
stores? And I'm using IHOP as an abbreviation. I doubt anyone shorted it to four letters back
then. It was always International House of Pancakes.

If you liked the info on KPOL-TV in this thread, you're going to be ecstatic when Clarke Ingram
unveils the new "History of UHF Television" website (any day now; the files are all sitting on my
computer while we deal with a glitch in FTP uploading to the server), which will include my well-
researched article on KBIC-TV/KIIX/KPOL-TV/KWHY ... including a screenshot of the famous KBIC-
TV station ID which was the only programming ever transmitted under those calls.

Just before our family upped it from Riverside CA to Macon GA, we saw The Pancake Man in the
mornings but don't recall seeing Koko the Clown on it (the Hal Seeger version of it). They usually
had the most low budgeted cartoons around (Spunky & Tadpole) but for the life of me I can't
recall what they did show. KTTV had the Harveytoons package, KCOP had Felix the Cat, and KTLA
had Popeye and the pre-1948 Warner Bros. package (Merrie Melodies and color Looney Tunes).
