No, Palo Verde Valley Times from Google does not carry KCOP listings I said only 3 channels from
5, 9 & 11, that's all.
I believe we established in a similar thread that this particular newspaper -- which is from
Arizona, not California -- only carried listings for KTLA, KCAL and KTTV because only those three
stations were being carried via microwave relay on cable systems in the Southwest.
The absence of KCOP is intentional, since none of that paper's readers could view the station.
That said, I suggest to all who post retro schedules that the state of a newspaper's origin be
included to avoid this type of confusion. The source should have been therefore listed as "Palo
Verde Valley (AZ) Times from Google News Archive".
I wonder why KCOP never bothered with out-of-area coverage, considering the other three
stations were carried as far east as Albuquerque.
The stations had no say in it. They were picked up off-air by a third party who then sold the
microwave signals to cable systems in the Southwest. During the 1970s and 1980s, when that
distribution was at its peak, KCOP was considered to be the weakest of the independents,
programming-wise, and I'm sure the distributor decided not to spend the money to microwave a
fourth station which might be shunned by the cable systems. (Even then, it was all about the
ability to turn a profit.)
You learn something new every day. Was third-party transmission common for regional
superstations? And did the stations get any money for these third parties, the way WTBS did?

Absolutely to the first, rarely for the second. In fact, Turner was not allowed to directly own his
satellite transponder for WTBS. (See article on Satellite Program Network at the History of UHF
Television website.) He had a unique arrangement whereby you paid the carrier, who in turn
paid Ted.
The satellite distribution of WOR in New York and WGN in Chicago were also expansions of
existing microwave distribution arrangements and the stations saw nothing. It wasn't until
Tribune acquired the company that distributed WGN that they were able to control the
programming that was run in place of those shows pre-empted by Syndex (the syndication
exclusivity by market rule). And that is what led to WGN America.
I recall there were also microwave networks for KTVU Oakland-San Francisco, KTVT Dallas-Fort
Worth and WSBK Boston at some points in time. Same thing; the stations didn't get any of the
retransmission revenue.
...got two San Francisco TV Guides off eBay last week, and found an interesting situation re MLB.
On 13 July 1963 at 10:15 AM, the CBS coverage of Giants-Phillies from Philadelphia is carried on
KSBW/8 Salinas, KXTV/10 Sacramento and KHSL-TV/12 Chico (and KOLO-TV/8 Reno picks it up at
10:25) -- but not on KPIX-TV/5. KXTV even takes out a half-page ad to promote it. Then at 11:30,
NBC's coverage of Tigers-White Sox from Chicago is carried by KCRA-TV/3 Sacramento, KCRL/4
Reno and KVIP-TV/7 Redding -- but nothing on KRON-TV/4. Following day, same story for CBS'
Dodgers-Phillies at 9:30 (9:55 on KOLO) and NBC's Orioles-White Sox at 11:30. Forward to 16
May 1964, and CBS' Athletics-Yankees at 10:45 and NBC's Indians-Tigers at 11:30 are again seen
on the same stations (KVIP-TV had become KRCR by then), ditto the next day's CBS Braves-
Cardinals at 10:45 and NBC Indians-Tigers at 11:30 -- but nothing at all on KRON or KPIX (or even
Oakland indie KTVU/2). Was a hometown blackout of all Major League product common in the
early '60s? And were the Sacramento and Salinas signals close enough to SFO to serve large
chunks of the Giants' home market?...
It appears you are referring to the NBC and CBS "Game of the Week." In each season in the early
60s, one or the other - sometimes both - ran a "Game of the Week." Part of the deal for both
networks was the broadcasts could not be carried by affiliates in MLB team home markets, but
they did get carried by affiliates in adjacent TV markets which some viewers in team home
markets could pick up. After CBS bought the New York Yankees, CBS switched from running a
game of the week, to running a Saturday afternoon Yankee game. CBS games were broadcast by
Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese. NBC games by Joe Garagiola.
The main sponsor of Dizzy Dean's broadcasts on CBS was Falstaff Beer. If you ever catch "The
Pride of St. Louis," on TCM (with Chet Huntley in a small role as Dizzy's broadcast partner), one
of the plot lines is Diz befriends a disabled man whose father owns a brewery. The friend gets
dad to hire Diz to broadcast St. Louis Browns games when his playing career (mostly with the
Cardinals) ends. Falstaff was originally branded with the name of the family which started the
brewery: Griesedieck Brothers Beer. The name didn't lend itself to radio copy. The first syllable is
pronounced "greasy." You can figure out the rest.
And were the Sacramento and Salinas signals close enough to SFO to serve large chunks of the
Giants' home market?...
The far north Bay Area might have been able to pick up a fuzzy Sacto signal but I don't think
Salinas was watchable even as far south as San Jose/Santa Clara. Since the whole Bay Area is
very mountainous it depends upon your specific location if you can pick up fringe signals. I
remember living in Daly City, San Rafael and Fairfax and we could pick up only the S.F. stations
and KTVU from Oakland. When we lived in the Sacramento foothills we were much higher in
elevation than S.F. but could not pick up any of their TV signals and none of their FM's were
clear.

I was talking with someone about this, and yes, blackouts in home markets were common back
then. They didn't want TV to cut into ticket sales. However, local radio was permitted.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_L...lackout_policy
(Take special note of the blackout map, which shows why baseball fans shouldn't live in Iowa ...
that state is entirely within the blackout area of five teams!)
My dad told me that when my family lived in San Jose for a little while in the mid-60s(before I
was born), it was possible to get KSBW in San Jose(not sure if KMST was around yet).
Also, dad recalled using a TV aerial to pull in KOVR 13 in Sacramento, when we lived on the
Peninsula(San Mateo County). No other Sacramento stations were available via antenna in that
area; we got cable in the aerly '70s, and the only Sactown station carried was KTXL 40.
This isn't like you think, this is only for when a national and local broadcast of the same game are
occurring. For instance, I live in North Dakota, listed as being in the Twins "blackout" zone. I can
get every single game that is broadcast, there is never one being broadcast either nationally or
by Fox Sports North, who has the Twins contract, that is blacked out from my viewing. But if
ESPN has a game, it is blacked out on ESPN because Fox Sports North has the local contract so
you have to turn there for the game. That is all this is for.
Actually, Iowa is in the blackout area (other than local sports nets) for 6 MLB teams (Cubs, White
Sox, Twins, Royals, Brewers, Cardinals)--the map had one color representing both Chicago teams.
Las Vegas is another heavy MLB blackout zone--Giants, Athletics, Dodgers, Angels, Padres, and
Diamondbacks.
Since I had the schedules for this week pulled for an article on WJMR-TV (coming soon to Clarke
Ingram's new website on the history of UHF!) I combined them into a single log, complete with
abbreviations, errors, gaps, etc.
The newspaper listed WDSU/6 and WJMR/61 separately, with a single short line for every
program entry and no details whatsoever. In other words, what you see is exactly what was
listed. A * was supposed to indicate a network program, although as you will see there were
some kinnies that were not so designated. (L) meant live from the network, although why that
would have mattered to the viewers is beyond me.
WDSU was NBC primary, WJMR was ABC/DuMont primary, with both sharing CBS and WDSU
carrying some ABC and DuMont shows anyway, with some shows relegated to running via
kinnies late at night. And this was only one month after WJMR first went on the air in the Big
Easy.

Could you imagine in 1953, New Orleans had only one VHF TV station? And I wonder why a UHF
signed on before New Orleans' three other VHFs, WWL 4, WVUE 8 and WYES 12? According to
Wikipedia, WDSU was on the air by 1948, yet no other VHF stations were on the air five years
later?
I also noticed that WJMR 61 ran both the ABC Evening News with John Daly and the CBS Evening
News with "Doug" Edwards. (I guess in later years, he'd switch to using his full first name
"Douglas.") It was rare for TV stations, even those affiliated with multiple networks, to run more
than one network evening news show. In fact, many stations that were only affiliated with ABC
didn't run the ABC Evening News. They found it better for the ratings to run some syndicated
program in its place.

The other commercial VHF allocation, for channel 4, was tied up in comparative hearings due to
multiple applicants. Supreme Broadcasting (wisely, it turns out) figured those hearings would
keep it from coming on the air for many years, and decided to get whatever jump on the
competition they could by being the sole applicant for channel 61.
Oh, and if you would take the time to read the article in its entirety, WVUE is a direct descendant
of WJMR, so including it on that list is disingenuous. Channel 8 was a non-commercial
educational reserved allocation and very few of those actually made it on the air before the
1960s (WVUE did not start off on that channel).
...over on YouTube, somebody posted a video aircheck of KGO-TV/7's local coverage (just the first
40 minutes or so) of the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake that interrupted the World Series that
year. Watched it the other day. And it made me wonder -- I have a DVD of someone flipping
between KGO-TV/7, KPIX-TV/5, KRON/4 and KTVU/2 for two consecutive hours that evening, so I
know they all went to wall-to-wall coverage. But what of the English-language UHF independents
of the Bay Area at the time -- KOFY-TV/20, KICU-TV/36 San Jose, KBHK-TV/44, and KFTY-TV/50
Santa Rosa? Did they go to their own wall-to-wall coverage, or perhaps rebroadcast the coverage
of one of the VHFs?...
The '89 quake happeend before the days of UHF and VHF duoplies, so no UHF would have picked
up a VHF newscast. KOFY, I believe, had just started a 10 o'clock newscast a few weeks earlier, so
I'm sure they had coverage of some kind. We did not have cable at that time, and UHF reception
was so poor where we lived that we almost never watched anything on that band.
...not so sure about that. After all, back on 22 November 1963, after President Kennedy was
shot, both KPHO-TV/5 (indie) and KAET/8 (NET) in Phoenix retransmit the NBC and local
coverage from KTAR-TV/12 Mesa. So it wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility that a similar
arrangement would have been set up for an emergency 26 years later...
All I recall about the Loma Prieta aftermath is an example from radio: KNBR-AM and KFOG-FM,
which had just become 'sister stations' earlier in 1989, when Susquehanna(now Cumulus)
bought KNBR, simulcast the KNBR morning show's quake e coverage, with longtime DJs Frank Dill
and Mike Cleary.

That should be David LETTERMAN. I think you got it mixed up with ABC's THIS WEEK with David
Brinkley.
I was puzzled by the thread title until I found out the "Kentucky New Era" is in the western part
of the state. Though the question remains, why are Nashville stations being aired in Kentucky (I
assume you can't get them OTA)? Why wouldn't cablers just use Louisville or Evansville stations?
The Kentucky New Era is from Hopkinsville, KY, which is 71 miles northwest of Nashville off I-24.
Did the New Era not carry listings for Paducah's WPSD-6? (Paducah is 72 miles northwest of
Hopkinsville).

probably easier to pick up. The Nashville Big 3 were (in analog) on 2,4,5 which would be easier to
get. Looking at a tvfool for Bowling Green, KY an outdoor antenna still can get most Nashville
stations.

I think INN was also on KCPQ for a short time in the early 80s as well.

Featured: the story of how one woman devised a plan to meet her "Mr. Right"; viewers express
their opinions of soap plots.
When I moved to the Seattle area in 2001, this show was half soap opera recaps/half talk show.
Was the format the same in 1986?

Probably to differentiate the daytime newscast from the more widely viewed and better known
nighttime INN News. Note that Ch.22 aired the daytime newscast, while Ch.11 aired the
nighttime one in the overnight.

Glenn Rowell and Cy Kelly would bring "Captain Glenn" to Cleveland's WNBK-4(Later 3) later in
1953-Into the Spring of 1954. I did not know that Warren Guthrie's Sohio Reporter extended into
Cincinnati and Columbus, Originating from WXEL/WJW-8, Cleveland..

I'm not from Ohio but I did recognize a few names that rang
a bell: Ernie Lee, who I assume is the same Ernie Lee who did
the "Breakfast Beat" on WTVT Tampa in the '60s and '70s; Dick
and Marian Spelman, who cohosted "Be Our Guest" with Bill Nimmo on
I was also surprised that Garry Moore's daytime show on CBS (1:30 PM)
wasn't carried on any of the CBS stations. The show was quite popular,
running eight years (the last four at 10 AM) before Moore switched to
primetime in 1958.
these two moved to 3 and 11 respectively; as for the ones on the list:
This must have been about the time of the big channel swaps in the

Finally, a technical question: was WAVE Louisville still on Channel 5 and WHAS on Channel 9? I
know there were a number of channel changes: these two moved to 3 and 11 respectively; as for
the ones on the list:
INDIANA
Allocation for Indianapolis (never-built WWHB): Ch. 3 was dropped with no VHF replacement.
Allocation for Evansville (later cp for WVJS, and much later WNIN): Ch. 11 to Ch. 9
OHIO
Allocation for Columbus: Ch. 8 was dropped (moved to Cleveland with no VHF replacement in
Columbus)
Allocation for Cincinnati: Ch. 2 was dropped (moved to Dayton with no VHF replacement in
Cincinnati)
The Cleveland/Columbus moves allowed a new allocation in Steubenville (Ch. 9), allowed the
allocation for Wheeling to move from Ch. 12 to Ch. 7, and cost Pittsburgh one VHF channel (3-6-
8-10-12 to 2-4-11-13).
Ch. 4: Terre Haute & Cincinnati to Bloomington, Cleveland to Columbus & Pittsburgh
I'll bet the guy(s) at the FCC got a headache figuring out all this. ;D

Most of the above changes took place in the 1952-54 time frame..WNBK moved to channel 3
April 25, 1954..It was stated that their new, more powerful transmitter was moved to chanel 3 to
avoid interference with 4 in Detroit and 5 in Cleveland.
In 1949, before WXEL signed on channel 9, it was possible they would have at least started out
on Channel 11..

Also, two of these local shows had brief runs on NBC: "Breakfast
Party" and Ruth Lyons' "50/50 Club." Ms. Lyons' show was holding
Light" combination on CBS, but NBC wanted her to move to New York,
show was in the Mike Douglas/Merv Griffin vein, and this was at a time
And one other Cincinnati personality, Paul Dixon, had network shows on
ABC and (I think) DuMont, as well as a syndicated show that lasted until
It is to wonder that Nick Clooney never got a national talk show, especially
after "The Money Maze" gave him national exposure (and he was doing a
show on WKRC).
But as Variety's Les Brown wrote in "Television: The Business Behind The
Box," at one time no market could touch Cincinnati for its elaborately-produced
local shows.

"Is the Jack Buck who hosted "Take Ten" the sportscaster?"
Yes.
He was working in the Columbus market from 1951 to 1953, calling the games of the AAA -level
Columbus Redbirds of the American Association, a St. louis Cardinals farm club, on WBNS and
doing some TV on WBNS-TV at the same time. Within a few weeks after this listing was printed,
he moved to Rochester, NY (a bigger market than Columbus at the time) at the Cardinals' urging
and started calling the International League Rochester Red Wings (also a AAA club but
considered the top farm club in the Cardinals organization at the time) on WHEC (AM) for the
1953 season. No local TV for Buck there, since WHEC didn't get its sister TV station on the air
until November of 1953, by which time Buck had been promoted to the Cardinals booth for the
'54 season, beginning a relationship with the Cards, KMOX and St. Louis that would last until his
passing in 2002.

Allocation for Indianapolis (never-built WWHB): Ch. 3 was dropped with no VHF replacement.
The removal of channels 3 (and 12) from Indy also made possible the allocations of these
channel numbers to Champaign/Urbana, IL: WCIA on channel 3 and WILL on 12. WCIA signed on
in November 1953 and WILL followed within two years.

Our family is trying to gather information (and perhaps some photos and/or video or sound
recording) of family member & radio personality Russ Brown.
He is mentioned in this thread as part of Morning Matinee with Judy Perkins. He went on to
cohost on Ruth Lyons too . . .
We would appreciate any suggestions for contacts and archives, and where else to research . . .
thank you!

If you know of any of the stations that aired Ronin Warriors in any of the markets that I have

isn't right, please let me know.
Ronin Warriors didn't run in Tucson. I taped the series and sent it to a friend who lives there.

Hey ultimajock, do you have any TV listings from local TV Guides from the mid 1960s? (1964-

on KPIX 5, et al, an hour later? How'd they do that? Wonder if they were shipped a 16mm film
print in advance? Or was it on a 7 DB in Sac-town?

...indeed, it did. I'm assuming KXTV got a 16mm print...

...also find it interesting that, although KVIP-TV/7 Redding was officially a primary NBC affiliate,
on this date they only took four programs from The Peacock -- three daytime game shows (The
Price is Right, Concentration and You Don't Say!) and Johnny Carson -- while everything else
networked was from ABC, including Ron Cochran's evening newscast rather than The Huntley-
Brinkley Report. They waited until 9:30 AM to sign on the air, so even Today was bypassed. This
particular week, only the NBC Sunday primetime schedule was run in network pattern. I wonder
if, by any chance, KVIP may have cleared NBC on first-run primetime and switched to ABC reruns
later in the season?...

--It must have been hard to be an Independent station in those days. You either had to generate
your own programming, such as an hour of Romper Room at 11am, run movies or try to find
some off-network syndicated reruns. KTVU 2 doesn't sign on till 10:30am. I grew up in the NYC
area, and we had three Independents, always trying to find old shows. So we got Best of
Groucho, Life of Riley, Burns & Allen, My Little Margie, Topper, etc. long after other markets had
forgotten them. I see KTVU runs Best of Groucho at 7:30pm, and Bold Journey at 9pm.
--I didn't know Mantovani had a half hour music show. This is the first time I've seen it, at
9:30pm on KTVU. I know Liberace had also had a half hour music show for a while. And there
were plenty of musical 15 min. shows featuring Dinah Shore, Perry Como and others.
--Another musical show was hosted by Mahalia Jackson, a rare program hosted by an African-
American performer. KGO-TV runs it at 1am before sign off. It was only five minutes. Les Paul &
Mary Ford also had a five minute musical show in those days.
--Johnny Carson was still beginning at 11:15pm in those days, requiring stations that want to run
the entire show to limit their late news to 15 minutes. Everyone NBC affiliate here does that,
except for KCRA Sacramento, which skips those first 15 minutes of Tonight and joins the show at
11:30pm.

...in addition, the San Francisco Bay Area had two ABC affiliates at the time, owned&operated
KGO-TV/7 and Gilliland-owned KNTV/11 San Jose. KNTV had originally been an indie when it
cranked up operations in 1955, competing with KTVU/2 Oakland when they started up in '58, but
found the going too rough. In 1960, KNTV wrangled a deal with ABC to become a primary
affiliate for the Monterrey-Salinas market, as its transmitter was atop Loma Prieta Peak, 100
miles south of San Francisco. The local brass at KGO-TV didn't like it, but KNTV stayed an ABC
affiliate for the next four decades. Most of the schedule load displaced by the ABC programming
wound up on KTVU...

9:30pm on KTVU. I know Liberace had also had a half hour music show for a while. And there
were plenty of musical 15 min. shows featuring Dinah Shore, Perry Como and others.
...Mantovani was one of the series made for the NTA Film Network of the late '50s, the film-
based network that sought to pick up whatever slack was left by the demise of both DuMont and
the Paramount Television Network in 1955-56. Paramount, based through KTLA/5 Los Angeles
(which Paramount Pictures owned at the time), had distributed the filmed music programs of
Western Swing superstar Spade Cooley, jazz bandleader Ina Ray Hutton and the self-proclaimed
"King of Exotica" Korla Pandit, and KTLA carried the Guild Films-syndicated shows of Liberace and
Florian ZaBach locally in Los Angeles. NTA (which owned WNTA/13 Newark to get its programs
into New York City) made 39 episodes of Mantovani available in early 1959; IIRC it was first run
in Los Angeles on KTTV/11 and then rerun over KCOP/13 in 1961. Most of the 15-minute musical
shows were network filler for the same half-hour their evening newscasts appeared in prior to
1963...
--Johnny Carson was still beginning at 11:15pm in those days, requiring stations that want to run
the entire show to limit their late news to 15 minutes. Everyone NBC affiliate here does that,
except for KCRA Sacramento, which skips those first 15 minutes of Tonight and joins the show at
11:30pm.
...that led to a big dispute between NBC and Carson in 1966, Carson wanted his monologue to
lead off the show, but with local newscasts extending from 15 minutes to 20 and 30, some
stations joined NBC either during or after the monologue. In early 1965, Carson flatly refused to
do the first 15 minutes anymore, leaving that segment for Ed McMahon and Skitch Henderson's
band to fill, and at contract renewal time staged a walkout until those 15 minutes were done
away with altogether...

While we're on the subject of 16mm, how did they decide which stations got them ahead of
time and which had to wait a week or two to get them? I've read some Mountain Zone listings
where stations in the same market got their tapes weeks apart. And how good was the quality of
these tapes?

these tapes?
...well, first off, in '63 these would be films and not videotapes. Tape stock was prohibitively
expensive and cumbersome, while 16mm film prints could be (and frequently were) reedited for
bicycling in off-network syndication or archiving. As far as who got what when, it was often on a
case-by-case basis. One example is on the night of November 16, 1963, when one of the very
smallest CBS affiliates, WSAU-TV/7 in Wausau, Wisconsin (then a one-station market), ran most
of CBS' prime time schedule off of 16mm prints out of network pattern. CBS' Central Time
schedule that night was:
9:00 Gunsmoke
6:30 Jackie Gleason and His American Scene Magazine (from the network feed)
7:30 The New Phil Silvers Show (from 16mm, same episode one hour before the network feed)
8:00 Dairyland Jubilee (a long-running local variety show from WKOW-TV/27 Madison mainly
focusing on polkas)
8:30 The Defenders (from 16mm, same episode one hour after the network feed)
9:30 Gunsmoke (from 16mm, same episode halfway through the network feed)
In addition, WSAU-TV didn't bother with a late Saturday newscast after Gunsmoke, going instead
to a 16mm print of an episode of ABC's Sunday night series Arrest and Trial that had run on that
network two weekends earlier. On the following weekend in a notably larger market, NBC's
primary affiliate in Charlotte, North Carolina, WSOC-TV/9, had scheduled the pilot special for
That Was The Week That Was to run on November 24 at 11:00 P.M. Eastern Time, after that
night's prime time schedule and 14 days after its NBC network airing. (Of course, the
assassination of President Kennedy and its aftermath scratched that entire weekend's schedule.)
Judging from all this, at the very least I assume that the networks, or at least CBS and NBC,
would get a primary affiliate a filmed prime time show for that current week if it was scheduled
to run during the prime time frame, while a run outside of prime time would hold the 16mm
print up for a couple of weeks...
For those remember on that day when Hurricane Hugo hit Charleston, South Carolina. Here's the

WSPA 7 (CBS)

4:00pm: DuckTales
5:00pm: Family Ties (went off the air last season on NBC, syndie reruns!)
6:30pm: Newhart (syndie reruns. Ironically that show would be the last season on CBS in the
1989-90 season)
7:00pm: M*A*S*H
7:30pm: M*A*S*H
8:00pm: Movie "Oh, God!" (1977, the late greats George Burns and John Denver)

One, Hawaii Five 0 had McGarrett I think, and Marcus Welby, MD known as Robert Young, Family
Doctor)
2:00am: Barney Miller (syndie reruns after moved from channel 13 earlier)
It's a shame that WAXA 40 went off the air a month earlier after financial issues following the
loss of Frank Outlaw. IMHO, If WAXA 40 was still on the air on this date, it would carry ABC
shows like Home and daytime repeats of Perfect Strangers which was preempted by WLOS 13 for
local news. And other syndie programs that didn't shown in GSP at the time.
Greenville/Spartanburg, SC market had more stations (5 commercial. WNEG 32, UNC-TV WUNF
33 wasn't mentioned, and 3 PBS from SCETV) than Charleston, SC market (4 commercial, no
indies, and one PBS/SCETV).
And a month later NewsCenter4 (WYFF 4) became simply News4, and kept the gold Arrow 4 logo
for two more years.
-crainbebo
i remember seeing the gold Arrow 4 logo logo sometimes before NFL games or NBA games or
"On Scene: Emergency Response"
i always wondered what time did american gladiators come on WLOS? i know it was always
saturdays at midnight?
i wonder what shows waxa would have picked up like "Ryan's Hope" "The Edge of Night" and any
other shows that WLOS preempted

That September, NY Giants Hall of Famer Michael Strahan became Kelly Ripa's new co-host, and
the show is now known as Live! with Kelly and Michael.

That was where I got my first exposure to that classic ABC police comedy. I now have the full-
series DVD release of it, and have very much been enjoying it. I remember when the reruns had
CPT's Sunburst/Abstract Torch logo after the Four D Productions logo (that combo is saved on
Shout!'s full-series release on the 1982 finale, albeit the Sunburst/AT is silent).

Gladiators" on my abc station WLOS
Hey, everyone. Back in the day, I got a Summer 1991 weekly schedule grid from WJTC Channel

I believe the reason for those programs being part of WJTC-TV's regular programming schedule
at the time was due to the regular programming schedule for the ABC station for the Mobile,
Alabama-Pensacola, Florida TV market (WEAR-TV) not having it at the time.

It's been pointed out to me that in the original post, I misspelled "Love Connection".
Unfortunately, the system won't let me go back and correct the error. Sorry, everyone!

Designing Women and Family Feud (9-10am) were CBS Daytime shows, probably bounced from
WKRG.

A similar situation happened in Seattle during this time. KCPQ 13 (Fox) had to air most of the
NBC and CBS game shows due to KIRO and KING not picking them up...airing local and national
talk shows instead. KCPQ had Wheel of Fortune (both NBC/CBS, and I believe all 4 hosts as well -
Woolery post-1980, Sajak, Rolf and Bob Goen), Family Feud (both half-hour and "Challenge"
hour from CBS), Sale of the Century, and many other shows from NBC and CBS.
So, would anyone? Post your stations and the timeslot which that event was aired.

12 Comedy Special
Special: "Robert Young and the Family," a series of family dilemmas enacted by Beau Bridges,
Dick Van Dyke, Lee Grant, Julie Sommars, Lurene Tuttle, Jack Warden and William Windom. The
dilemmas, introduced by host Robert Young, concern...an over-organized housewife with a
highly-programmed family; off field competition among little league fathers; a wife who
accidentally meets an old flame; a culture chasm between hippie marrieds and their in-laws; and
a couple who must get re-acquainted after their youngest child leaves home. Produced and
directed by Bud Yorkin.
["To Rome with Love" and Mary Tyler Moore are preempted.]
Wonder how Robert Young got away with having a CBS special when "Marcus Welby" was a huge
hit on ABC. For that matter, why was this station airing "MTM" on Saturday afternoon already
after it was a proven hit?

2 9 49 Movie-Drama
"The Preppie Murder" - an unsettling account of a sensational crime story. In 1986, Jennifer
Levin, an 18-year-old New Yorker from a well-to-do family, was slain in Central Park. Within
hours, police picked up a suspect: Robert Chambers, a 19-year-old prep-school graduate who
had been Levin's lover. Under interrogation, Chambers confessed to the slaying, but claimed that
he accidentally killed the young woman when she hurt him during an episode of so called "rough
sex." This 1989 TV-movie establishes the case against Chambers [played by William Baldwin]
primarily from the viewpoint of Det. Mike Sheehan [Danny Aiello], who helped lead the
investigation. But as the drama moves into the courtroom, the case for Chambers is aggressively
presented by his lawyer, Jack Litman [William Devane], who plants doubts in the jurors' minds
about the character of the victim. Lt. Doyle is played by the real Mike Sheehan. Linda Fairstein:
Joanna Kerns.
A birthday bash for the brash, irreverent series that says its original and current executive
producer, Lorne Michaels, was no overnight success. "No one is more surprised than I am that
we're on 15 years later," he says. "When I came to New York, I didn't give up my apartment in
Los Angeles until midway into the 2nd season." Tonight, past and present cast members, joined
by some of the 200 celebrities who've served as hosts, look back at some highlights. About half
the show, Michaels says, celebrates in clips such memorable characters as the Loopners [Bill
Murray, Gilda Radner]; Mr. Robinson [Eddie Murphy]; those "wild and crazy" Czech Brothers
[Dan Aykroyd, Steve Martin]; Ed Grimley [Martin Short]; Hans and Franz [Dana Carvey, Kevin
Nealon]; the Pathological Liar [Jon Lovitz]; and the Coneheads [Aykroyd, Laraine Newman, Jane
Curtin]. Tributes to John Belushi [by Aykroyd and Jim Belushi] and Radner [by Curtin and

at the same time...Denver may have only been for Rocky Mountains and westward. Houston and

I do not recall ever hearing of this program. Was it a syndicated show with a limited run, or a
local show? (And if the latter, I wouldn't ever have considered Greenville, SC a prime location for
crime...)
You're right about that. It aired in St. Louis on KPLR Channel 11 at 9:30 weeknights following
their nine o'clock news during 1989-90, when they began to identify themselves as St. Louis 11.
And it was hosted by veteran TV journalist Ike Pappas.

It was at 12:30 that President John F. Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally were shot in
Dallas Dealey Plaza. The first network bulletin about the shooting interrupted As the World
Turns on CBS at exactly 12:40; although NBC and ABC fed bulletins shortly afterwards, neither
network were actually feeding scheduled programming to their Eastern and Central Time Zone
affiliates during that half-hour. By 1:00, all scheduled programming would be scratched and
replaced with wall-to-wall coverage of the assassination. Although its not known if WMVS and
WHA-TV took CBS up on their offer to carry their coverage, its most likely that WUHF carried
ABCs coverage, since they also regularly carried ABCs evening newscasts in Milwaukee (rejected
by WITI) during this period.

Liberace provided piano accompaniment to Clays recitation. Kamens main contribution was a

performances at a suburban Pittsburgh nightclub on November 22nd, as NBC was to have aired
this tape, but the Kennedy assassination led to opening night being moved to the following
night. During that postponed opening, Liberace was stricken by kidney failure, and afterwards

Also, there seems to be some conflicting notes on what episode Route 66 aired that night. The
thread on the Dallas, Texas schedule had "A Cage In Search Of A Bird" listed, which was actually
scheduled for the following week. CBS's promo (aired moments before the second bulletin)
merely said "Follow Tod and Linc on a mountain adventure with a pretty girl..." "Cage" had a girl
hiding her boyfriend's poker winnings in the hubcap of Tod and Linc's car.

Pretty impressive that a syndicated wrestling show could be aired all the way in Wisconsin. I
assumed that pre-WWF (the regional era) that shows stayed in their own region. Did any other
wrestling show have this far a reach?

...well, by the time Junior McMahon took over the WWF, Verne Gagne's AWA covered a stretch
from Chicago to Phoenix and San Francisco, with additional affiliations to the local promotions in
Indianapolis (Dick Afflis' WWA), Memphis (Jerry Jarrett) and San Antonio (Joe Blanchard's
Southwest Championship Wrestling). Plus, WCCW was still regularly shown in Honolulu...

Hey ultimajock, do you have any TV listings from local TV guides from either Illinois-Wisconsin,
Northern Wisconsin or Minnesota State from the time period of 1979-1983? If so, just let me
know and I'd love to see some posted!

OK, here's a puzzler for anyone who wants to field it. ABC was running Father Knows Best at
11:30 Central (Bud dates a beauty queen.) David Von Pein's JFK Channel on YouTube has ABC
coverage of the JFK assassination which started at around 12:50 Central.
Did that tape come from a Mountain time zone station that taped the feed at 10:30 Mountain
for playback in pattern at 11:30 Mountain? If so, someone at that station must have rolled tape
on a second VTR, recording the station's OTA feed. That might explain the vertical and horizontal
roll when the station cut away for the live ABC bulletins.
...I'm strongly convinced that the ABC assassination coverage videotape containing that Father
Knows Best feed was recorded off the network line at KTVK/3 Phoenix. Others have suggested
that KBTV/9 Denver was the source, but as KTVK was more used to recording the ABC feeds to
maintain schedule patterns for both itself and KGUN/9 Tucson, that seems the more likely to
me...
Father Knows Best feed was recorded off the network line at KTVK/3 Phoenix.
Not KTVK. I have (and previously published) Phoenix TV schedules for 11/22/63. FNB aired on
KTVK (and KGUN-TV Tucson) at 10:30 AM MT. Back then, KTVK didn't do much tape-delaying of
ABC--the daytime schedule was all generally the live east coast feed (two hours earlier than ET),
and prime time (other than Saturdays) was aired "in pattern" via 16mm film (and the same
episodes run by the network that night). Saturday prime was aired live starting at 5:30 PM MT.
Because of how the YouTube entry has out-of-synch cuts between FNB and news bulletins, it
may have been some station (in CT?) that was airing FNB on a one-hour delay. As in Phoenix, I
don't believe there were other MT affils doing much delaying of ABC daytime in 1963. Wherever
it was, it was downline somewhere, as evidenced by the 5 kHz audio.

I have TV Guides from the 60s and 70s in the MTZ, and all the markets listed (even Denver)
would air daytime programming live off the East Coast feed. Heck some Salt Lake stations were
doing this as late as 1982.

Don't think it was from KTVK, as old program listings confirm both KTVK Phoenix and KGUN-TV
Tucson aired FNB live at 11:30 AM MT (1:30 PM ET).
Not KTVK. I have (and previously published) Phoenix TV schedules for 11/22/63. FNB aired on
KTVK (and KGUN-TV Tucson) at 10:30 AM MT.
...where are said Phoenix schedules, so that we can try to settle this discrepancy?...

"More common than muggings, auto accidents and rape combined, wife battering accounts for
40 percent of the serious injuries treated in hospital emergency rooms." That's one of the grim
statistics cited by Ed Asner in this report, which examines domestic violence and what's being
done about it. The hour begins by exploring the probable causes of abusive behavior and a
paradox of a victim remaining in a violent relationship out of love. One such woman was Dorothy
Rapp. She believed that marriage was "for better or for worse," but 30 years of beatings
culminated in her shooting and killing her husband in 1981. [She was acquitted of all charges].
For other victims, staying is a matter of economic necessity. It's a choice, says one sociologist,
between "staying and being hit or leaving and living in poverty." Also: candid interviews with
battered wives and abusive husbands; segments on options available to women seeking help
and the effects of domestic violence on children; and a look at the increasing tendency of courts
"to treat family violence as a serious crime, not simply a husband-and-wife matter". (From close-
up)

the time went back to the affiliates, as NBC had done in 1978 and ABC in 1984.

I'm thinking Odyssey (85) was a religious program as well. Maybe it was a rebroadcast of a
religious network, like the PTL Club or TBN. But it also could have been Christian/religious music.

Actually, Channel 39 started out as a general entertainment independent station, but since it was
licensed to Murfreesboro (@ 30 miles SE), it wasn't successful competing against Channel 17,
which was fairly well established by then, and Channel 30.

which was fairly well established by then, and Channel 30.
Channel 39 was/is also hampered by a short tower (820 feet), farther away from Nashville near
Gladeville (Wilson County). Channels 17 and 30 shared/share a tower in Whites Creek, just north
of Nashville (1348 feet for Channel 17/1355 feet for Channel 30).

Wow talk about something you'd never see today! Did WRAL do any other plays? Why did they
pick an Ayn Rand play? And was the verdict for whether theater specials could continue or
something else?
--Why did episodes of "Sesame Street" and the "Electric Company" get numbered? When did it
stop? And did any other shows get this?
--Was the Tom Snyder episode the last TV appearance of Jimmy Hoffa? He would disappear that
summer.

1. I honestly have no idea; this was as much info as I could rustle up.
2. For me it was easier that breaking my back on Google trying to find a full synopsis on that
particular episode. I can tell you that on that particular episode of Sesame Street, Big Bird
learned about clocks from Luis and David and Maria gave each other identical gifts.

As I mentioned in my reply to that thread.....Gene Thomley was his name. I don't know if he was
local (I thought he was at the time) or not, and wonder where he came from and whatever
happened to him. He didn't seem to have any major talent -- I just recall him sitting on a stool,
chatting in a low-key style, and introducing guests. He might have actually sang some, too, but I
didn't pay that close attention to the show -- it was really "background noise" when I would be
getting ready for school.

Gene Thomley
My name is Helen Thomley; Gene Thomley was my father. He was a self-taught pianist who
started playing professionally at the age of 15. He lived in Orlando for a few years, but was from
Mobile, Alabama. Among having the show and a passion for country music, he toured with
Johnny Cash in 1971 where he performed with him in Las Vegas. He personally knew Ernest Tubb
from the Grand Old Opry and performed there multiple times. He was also one of Bob Luman's
fellow musicians and dear friend. He was recognized and awarded a certificate from Florida's
country Hall of Fame. He passed away in 2013 from a massive heart attack.

If you're wondering about the best known shown on WXLT isn't shown, it's because "Suncoast
Digest" didn't start until August of that year.
And for those of you who don't know why this show is famous, here's the incredibly sad story.

I remember these early morning instructional programs like "Summer Semester" and "University
of the Air"
Is there anyone out there who actually attended these lectures and actually earned a degree
from them? I mean, really? ???
I also remember Villa Alegre on PBS. It was supposed to be the hot up-and-coming Hispanic
Sesame Street. Then it just kind of went away. Did it fail, or did they just pull it in my area
because we did not have a large Spanish-speaking population?

"Villa Alegre" began around 1973 and left the air in the mid-to-late-1980s (and was in production
through the late-1970s), so it was no failure by all means. I think the show fizzled out because
the series was beginning to show its age, against newer PBS series. (The original "Electric
Company" was the same way -- production wrapped in 1977, but repeats continued through the
mid-80s.)
Do any of you suppose that was because the Tribune Company owned the station? It would
interesting to compare KTLA's sked with that of WGN, KWGN (Denver), and WPIX from the same
period. I bet that you would find the same pattern in each place, with Trib stations putting a
heavy emphasis on reruns and local sports, as opposed to a movie and/or news orientation on
their competitors.
In 1979, KTLA was still owned by Gene Autry and Golden West Broadcasters. It was sold around
1982 or so to a group of high level KTLA executives who formed as KTLA Inc., and they paid a
then-record $500 million for the station.
I was just going to say that I know Tribune didn't own KTLA in 79.
I see on the schedule for ABC's Monday Night Baseball that both the Angels and Dodgers were
playing at the same time (or at least on tape delay). I wonder what game actually aired that night
on KABC?
All four of the L.A. indies apparently did not run news during the early evening. Wasn't there a
time earlier in the 70's when one or two of the indies had early evening newscasts?
Also interesting that KTLA-5 and KHJ-9 had a 10pm cast, but KTTW-11 and KCOP-13 started at
10:30.
And the KHJ movie was "All About Eve", with Bette Davis from 1950! AMC wouldn't even touch
that today.

And why was the game running on tape delay? I was in San Francisco in June 1979, and
remember seeing a Monday night ball game on the tube starting at 5PM. To me, it was so odd --
because being an east coaster, I was used to seeing it at 8PM. So, a 5Pm live start on the left
coast would have been possible. Hard to believe, too, that the network's flagship station for the
west coast would run a MLB game on tape delay.
...I assume KBSC/52 was running ON-TV after 8:00 p.m.; I rather doubt they'd simply sign off the
air after the 7:30 The Life of Riley (Bendix or Gleason?) rerun ;-) ...
Very likely they were (likewise for KWHY) -- usually, TVG lists subscription TV time as merely
"subscription television", with the services they carried listed separately, or not at all.
[In 1979, KTLA was still owned by Gene Autry and Golden West Broadcasters. It was sold around
1982 or so to a group of high level KTLA executives who formed as KTLA Inc., and they paid a
then-record $500 million for the station.
It was the investment firm Kohlberg Kravits Roberts and Co. who purchased KTLA in 1982, then
sold the station to Tribune three years later.
Was it when the Tribune Co bought KTLA that they went up on the satellite?
And why was the game running on tape delay? I was in San Francisco in June 1979, and
remember seeing a Monday night ball game on the tube starting at 5PM. To me, it was so odd --
because being an east coaster, I was used to seeing it at 8PM. So, a 5Pm live start on the left
coast would have been possible. Hard to believe, too, that the network's flagship station for the
west coast would run a MLB game on tape delay.
ABC used to tape-delay Monday Night Baseball on the West Coast every week(well, each of the 8
to 12 weeks they did a game), til the mid-80s. The games always started at 8:30 ET(later moved
to 8), and most West Coast markets generally had a 3-hour delay...L.A. must have been the
exception, in this case!
I(grew up in the Bay Area) was a little young to remember for sure, but I have vague memories of
ABC's games airing starting later in the evening(after dark), which would rule out a 5PM start.
In '86 or '87, ABC started carrying most games live on the West Coast; I seem to remember a
couple of weeks in '87 where the entire network showed games on a one-hour delay(game at 5
PT, but telecast at 6), but by '88, all telecasts were live at 5 PT
ABC always televised its All-Star, playoff and Series games live in the Pacific time zone.

As to which game aired, I'd guess the Dodgers were--and likely still
Regarding live sports being delayed on the left coast--I recall that for
Yes, the Angels are definitely second fiddle to the Dodgers in L.A., despite both teams using "Los
Angeles" in their names. I think the perception is the Angels are still the "Orange County" team,
as in fact their home is still Anaheim.
KOMO TV Seattle and KATU TV Portland delayed MNF for decades. I think it changed sometime
in the 90's, not sure the exact year. The argument was viewers wanted their local news at
6:30pm, (translation: they wanted the 6:30pm revenue).
I guess you have to be my age or older to remember, but when the Angels franchise started, they
were the Los Angeles Angels. My memory is fuzzy on where they played - but I seem to
remember that they shared Dodger Stadium (what was then colloquially called "Chavez Ravine"
in the media). Perhaps they played at the LA Coliseum...can't recall for sure.
But even then, the Angels didn't get too much respect as a new team. It was the era of Koufax
and Drysdale - the Dodgers could play some exciting baseball.
Gene Autry moved the team to Anaheim, and changed the name to California Angels.
The Angels originally played in "old Wrigley Field" which is the place where they televised the TV
show Home Run Derby in 1959-60. Then the Angels shared Chevez Ravine with the Dodgers for
several years. When the Angels played there it was called Chavez, Dodgers called it Dodger
Stadium.
If memory serves correctly the Angels moved to their own stadium in Anaheim around 1966 or
so.

...if you want to catch a glimpse of what the L.A. Wrigley Field looked like, watch a 1950 movie
called Armored Car Robbery the next time it pops up on Turner Classic Movies or Encore
Mystery. It involved a robbery at Wrigley, and a couple of scenes were shot at the actual gate to
the stadium...
Couldnt KOMO and KATU have local news at 5:30 with MNF at 6 thats how KABC did it

You couldn't earn a degree from them, since they only aired two courses a "semester". But
universities who participated in a special program could and did grant college credits.
12:00 NOON on 3-7-42 SHOULD be All My Children - NOT All In The Family as you have it

I don't know what surprises me more ... that it took nearly six years for that typo to be caught
and corrected, or that someone thought it was still necessary after that amount of time.

In February of 1988, ABC went to Calgary to cover that year's Winter Olympics.
No one knew it then, but it would mark the last time that ABC covered an Olympics. ABC covered
ten out of the fourteen Olympics (Winter and Summer combined) that had taken place between
1964 and 1988.
Following is the ABC broadcast schedule for the 1988 Winter Olympics, as published in Sports
Illustrated's 1988 Winter Olympics preview issue, puboished in early February of that year. All
times were Eastern.
Saturday, February 13th, 1988: 2:30-5 P.M. (Live Boadcast of the Opening Ceremonies) and 8-11
P.M.
Sunday, February 14th: 12 Noon-6 P.M., 7-11 P.M., and 11:30 P.M.-12 Midnight
Sunday, February 21st: 11 A.M.-6 P.M., 7-11 P.M., and 11:30 P.M.-12 Midnight
Saturday, February 27th: 12 Noon-6 P.M., 7-11 P.M., and 11:30 P.M.-12 Midnight
Sunday, February 28th: 12 Noon-6:45 P.M. and 7-11 P.M. (the latter a Live Broadcast of the
Closing Ceremonies)
While Jim McKay as usual hosted prime-time coverage, Keith Jacksonm hosted the weekend
daytime broadcasts and Frank Gifford (along with his then-new wife Kathie Lee) hosted the late-
night wrap-ups. Gifford did double duty in Calgary; besides co-hosting the late-night show, he
also called the alpine skiing competition (which he had also done for ABC in 1976, 1980 and
1984).

That September my mother was watching NBC's coverage of the Summer Games from Seoul
(NBC's first Olympics since 1972 in Sapporo and the Peacock's first Summer Games since 1964 in
Tokyo - feel free to correct me). My mom said to me something like, "It just doesn't feel like an
Olympics without Jim McKay hosting." She'll watch figure skating and gymnastics, Olympic or
not.
ixnay
what i remember about Seoul that year besides NBC having to use guys like Curt Gowdy, Ray
Scott and Merle Harmon on the NFL was some of the weird things that happened like Arlene
Limas singing the anthem by herself when the tape machine would not play the boxing riots and
the us women's gymnastics team getting a deduction that cost them a medal and the roy jones
losing in a fight he should have won the judges were corrupt boy that was a crazy Olympics i
wonder how Jim Mckay and abc would have handled those incidents

I am wondering if anyone has Minneapolis TV listings from about 1985 to 1991, or if anyone
knows if there's any sites online that may have them, I've tried newspapers.com and Google
archive but couldn't find any old papers that have them from that time or any other time for
Minneapolis listings.

5 13 Movie-Biography BW
Robert De Niro won an Academy Award for his knockout portrayal of boxer Jake La Motta in this
powerful 1980 biography, directed by Martin Scorsese. Its subject, the Bronx-born La Motta,
compiled a record of 83-19-4 in his 13 year ring career, winning the world-middleweight title
from Marcel Cerdan in 1949 and holding it for nearly two years until he was stopped by Sugar
Ray Robinson in Feb 1951. The brutality of those key bouts-stylishly choreographed by Scorsese
and Oscar-winning film editor Thelma Schoonmaker-punctuates the story of a man who is just as
violent out of the ring. Cathy Moriarty and Joe Pesci won Oscar nominations as Jake's wife Vickie
and brother Joey, but the film belongs to De Niro, who actually put on 50 pounds during a break
in shooting to portray the La Motta who, in late middle age, was reduced by business failure and
a short prison stretch to working as a comedian and emcee in seedy strip joints. Boxer Eddie
Mustapha Muhammad plays boxer Billy Fox.

Could "Hee Haw" still be bicycling tapes at this point? In the satellite era, why would stations air
different episodes on the same week?

They could be. It was probably 1983 when the bicycling method stopped. I recall in the first
season of Wheel of Fortune, tapes were bicycled (83-84) in some markets, but then went to
satellite.
-crainbebo
According to the episode guide in tv.com, the episode on KQTV/2 and KSNT/27 was a rerun of
the last episode of the season. The one on WDAF/4 was a rerun of the "next-to-last" episode of
the season.
Whether via satellite or bicycle tape, the distributor would have put out new copies of the
episodes with different barter spots included.
My best guess is somehow WDAF put out the wrong episode number on the schedule they sent
out. Or maybe they preempted a week sometime during the summer and were running a week
behind.
This season, Jim Nantz would go solo on The Prudential College Football Report, after having had
Pat Haden with him in the previous year; IINM, he would occasionally have Ara Parseghian with
him in the 1987 and '88 seasons.
The Hawaii Five-O episode listed is called "Dealer's Choice: Blackmail", originally aired February
3, 1977.
John Ritter played the compulsive gambler. Would have been an eye-opener for those only
familiar with his Three's Company work.
1. The show identified as Tales From the Darkness (10 PM on Channel 41) is actually Tales from
the Darkside. (The episode is "The Unhappy Medium", if anyone's interested.)

...same reason why so many people are under the impression today that it was Walter Cronkite
that told most Americans that President Kennedy had died in Dallas, while more viewers actually
were tuned to Bill Ryan and Frank McGee that afternoon -- CBS has done a much better job of
marketing its news archives than either NBC (poorer management) or ABC (scarcity of material).
And the CBS piece on The Beatles didn't even debut on Cronkite's newscast, but The CBS
Morning News with Mike Wallace on the morning of November 22nd, aired a few hours before
the Kennedy assassination. As you can see above, not even a majority of CBS affiliates probably
carried Wallace -- here, only the tiny markets of Wausau and Marquette even bothered to clear
it, while the much larger Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay all passed on carrying that
program -- so the audience that saw the first airing of the CBS item wasn't even a tenth the size
of those that were tuned to the NBC report...

Some of the movies listed are pretty well known and well regarded - at least they were when
they came out. However, the bulk of the schedules looks like old black and white TV shows, for

Sub-channels are the new UHF. These schedules do look a lot like what is running on sub-
channels today. What's missing today is all the local content that was an important part of
independent TV: Kids' shows. Movie hosts. Talent shows. Bowling shows. Cooking shows.

However, the bulk of the schedules looks like old black and white TV shows, for which the
syndication market had dried up since network affiliates went to full time color (and avoided
black and white)
I wouldn't say it had necessarily "dried up" ... In 1967, TV Guide's format still made a distinction
for color programs, and the syndicated (non first-run, excluding animation) programs for the
Philly indies that were in color were:
17's only colorcasts, other than a few movies, were the network shows they cleared and some
sports programming.
In addition, the only color movies were "London Town", "The Blue Continent", "Pacific Destiny"
and "The Gallant Musketeer".
The network-affiliated Vs still had some pockets of black-and-white, though. 6 still had The
Detectives, Combat and The Rifleman on the schedule, and 10 was still running Sea Hunt ... but
there was very little non-network programming on either or on channel 3, so it's more likely that
a large amount of available syndication was non-color and it only becomes obvious because the
Us were far more dependent on it. Bottom line: Not enough syndicated programming airing at all
at that time for you to be able to draw the conclusion that you did.
Fast forward to 1973: None of the three VHF network affiliates were running any off-network
reruns. While the majority of the reruns on the three independent UHF stations were in color, it
was a bare majority, with B&Ws Alfred Hitchcock, Charlie Chan, Sea Hunt, Fugitive, Andy Griffith,
Patty Duke, Ozzie and Harriet, One Step Beyond, and Untouchables (on 17), Jack Benny and
Father Knows Best (on 29) and Outer Limits (on 48) still airing in Philly. I'd call it more a case
where there the earliest of the color off-network product was available and the three Us had full
choice because the Vs had passed on it all, so they chose a mix of color and black-and-white
shows.
Your conclusion about the network affiliates is completely disproven, therefore, since in 1973
they certainly had access to the color reruns and passed on them entirely.

I wonder how many markets had local bowling shows. I remember being able to watch shows on
Boston, Providence and Worcester channels while living in suburban Boston, then catching
"Syracuse Bowls" on Sundays while in college. Little Rock, where my first job was, had no local
show, but I moved here (Connecticut) in 1981 and sure enough, there was a local bowling show
(duckpins) on Channel 20. All these shows are long gone. The Boston show was still doing big
ratings when canceled, but youth-obsessed advertisers had deserted it. Are there any local
bowling shows left on OTA television?

K.M., this Delaware Valley born and bred poster thanks you for posting these listings. I had just
turned six yo and by coincidence, that listing was around the time my parents (we lived in
Chester, PA) bought our first color TV (a Zenith, which was also our first TV with UHF reception
capability [replacing our B&W VHF-only GE]), which is how I found out that Philly had a ch. 17,
29, and 48 to go with 3, 6, and 10 (plus 12 [NET] in Wilmington). Thanks again.

Thanks for posting this, as well as the similar posts from 1986 and 1987. Any listings for the
other major indie (WGBS Channel 57) or the two minors (WTGI Channel 61 and WSJT Channel
65)?

As I recall, WGBS was the flagship station of GBS (Galaxy Broadcasting System), headed by
Morgan Edge. It acquired The Daily Planet and made Clark Kent their local news anchor for a
time, over the strong objections of Planet editor Perry White. At one point, Kent co-anchored
with Lana Lang and retired football player Steve Lombard.

..WWNY cleared The Secret Storm from CBS at 3:00. Apologies for missing that one...
WVNY-22 signed off at 11 pm back at that time? Why was that? Also, they didn't come on until
11:30 am. Someone help me.
...during WVNY/22's earliest years, as the only commercial UHF station visible OTA in Burlington
and Montreal, the station had an uphill climb in getting viewers out of the habit of tuning in
WMTW/8 for their ABC programming. WMTW's signal encompassed both Burlington and
Montreal, and the entire eastern half of WVNY's signal area. Since ABC only scheduled daytime
programming starting at 11:30 AM ET, and other, larger affiliates passed on the reruns of
primetime series and newer soap operas (for ex, at this time That Girl daytime reruns and All My
Children were seen in Milwaukee on WVTV/18 when WITI/6 rejected them for their own runs of
The Mike Douglas Show and a noon newscast), WVNY probably decided to simply run just
enough of the ABC schedule to keep the network satisfied and maintain the affiliation for the
time being. Forgoing The Dick Cavett Show, never a really big draw against Merv Griffin on
WCAX-TV/3 and Johnny Carson on WPTZ/5, also allowed for saving 7-1/2 hours' worth of
electricity and labor costs each week. It's also worth noting that WVNY didn't run ABC's Saturday
and Sunday morning kiddie shows or public affairs programming, signing on at 1:00 Saturday for
ABC's NCAA football game and 6:30 PM Sunday with a rerun of The Dick Van Dyke Show...
So were the episodes of That Girl and Bewitched that ran on 22 from 5-6pm the same episodes
that they ran off of the network feed from 11:30-12:30?
...yes. And it appears that WVNY didn't bother to run The ABC Evening News...

From a very interesting time period in Argentina TV history, particularly for LS86. Teledos lasted
11 months and in its brief run put the channel at ratings heights I don't think it's ever managed
again.
Meanwhile 2 and 9 were the only privately held stations because 11 and 13 were mired in failed
privatization auctions (the military government had taken all the TV stations and there were
different managers that ran them).

Connie Stevens on "American Bandstand"? What reason could they have her as a guest?
I'll assume Ch. 13 aired the CFL as a syndicated program, because the CFL's stints on network TV
were blink-and-you'll miss it. How long did the CFL last in syndie?
Why so many stations airing "All in the Family", far and away the top rated show in 1972, out of
its usual slot?
The CFL on Ch. 13 was syndicated...Ch. 13 even had an ad for the game in this issue of TV Guide.
The delayed broadcasts of "All in the Family" and some of the other sitcoms on Saturday night
really had nothing to do with the popularity of the show(s), but the affiliates wanting to use
them in the access slot (6:30-7:00 PM) on weeknights. Affiliates, such as KUHI-TV in Joplin, could
run a 2-hour movie on Saturday night, sell all the commercial time locally, and then run the
preempted network shows on 4 of the 5 nights the following week. KOLR was doing something
similar, as well. KFPW could stick "Hee Haw" at 6:30 on Saturday, and then have a 30-minute
show to plug into a weeknight 6:30 slot. Incidentally, it was pulling a programming stunt similar
to this (not necessarily with AITF) that cost KXLY-TV in Spakane, WA its CBS affiliation in 1976.
KOTV's motivation during this time period was the fact that the station ran an hour-long
newscast at 6PM on weeknights. On Tuesdays in 1972, CBS was running prime-time from 6:30 to
9:30 PM, instead of 7 to 10, and CBS had an hour-long show on Tuesday at 6:30. KOTV tape-
delayed the Tuesday 6:30 CBS show to Saturday at 6:30, and then ran "All in the Family" at 7PM
on Tuesday after the local news to fill to the next network show at 7:30.
I'm fairly certain KGTO ran AITF on delay simply because it was depending on off-air pickups for
network shows, and none of the CBS affiliates around it ran AITF at the scheduled network time.
Therefore, KGTO had to run AITF whenever its off-air source for CBS ran it. That's my own guess,
but since KGTO ran a show like "American Angler" on Saturday night at 7, it signals to me the
station didn't have a choice.

Great answer Steve! I'd forgotten the first year or two of access time was all over the map,
before being fixed at 7:30-8pm ET.

OT, but related: I recently bought a book about San Francisco TV horror host Bob Wilkins and his
'Creature Features' horror-movie show. The book consists entirely of old TV Guide pages, many
featuring the ads for the show, as well as for other programs.
From that book, I saw that CFL games were indeed syndicated from at least 1971 to '73, on
either Friday or Saturday nights. (I'd guess that when the short-lived World Football League
started in '74, at least some of those stations ditched the CFL games for the new league, which
also followed a 'late summer into mid-autumn' schedule.

Steve, thanks for these posts. This is an interesting market. I don't know any of the history of
KGTO/36, but I'm sure you're right they were underfunded. Also you have to question their
decision not to run As The World Turns, and apparently not being able to sell a bunch of paid
religious shows on Sunday.

This is really strange...two NBC stations pre-empting Bonanza. I picked up this edition of TV
Guide during a visit to Branson in the 90s, and remember Bonanza and Gunsmoke were both run
in syndication on several stations.

I seem to remember reading about that time that the show was changing format and that under
the new format no Romper Room toys would be advertised.

Believe me I remember the commercialization in Romper Room. For Christmas 1971 I asked for a
Do Bee Dough Machine but didn't get one. By the time March 1972 came around I was in
morning Kindergarten and couldn't watch the program. I do know that Bill Harrington, Miss
Jean's husband, was with WCVB for a long time.

Miss Jean did not follow over to WCVB-TV after WHDH-TV left the air on 3/19/72. I believe
WCVB used a generic (national) version of Romper Room from Claster Productions that was
available to stations that did not produce local versions of "Romper Room". But, yes.... Bill
Harrington made the move to Needham (WCVB-TV) and stayed at Channel 5 for many years
thereafter.

I was Miss Kris on WTEV-Channel 6 during the time that TV personalities stopped doing
commercials during their shows. The Association for Children's Television became active around
1970-1971 and, as children's show personalities, we were no longer able to do commercials.
Starting in 1972, Romper Room National (Claster Productions) began making "canned" shows
available to TV markets featuring Miss Sally (the daughter of the original RR teacher, Miss Nancy)
at a cost that was lower than local stations could produce the show. Thus, the local personalities
and local children were no longer featured on the show.

5 - WWWF Washington Wrestling why they didn't include the WWWF name on the listing?
Because TV Guide was notorious for not putting league information, etc. in the main listing line.
Sometimes, if it was a major sport, you'd see "NFC" or "AFC" in the program description.
Especially so as not to give a free plug to the sponsor (gee, I really want to see that Mazda Gator
Bowl). On occasion, the title said only "College Bowl Game."

I couldn't help but notice the Michael Jackson special which CBS aired that night. I believe that is
where the world premiere for his "Bad" video took place.

The first summer where I stayed up all night watching TV. I was only eleven at the time, so
staying up all night (or almost all night) was a big deal back then...
> WCBS-TV 2
...Jim Jensen should have been at the anchor desk at 6 with the lovely Michele Marsh, who I had
a huge crush on. IIRC, Marsh was paired with Mike Schneider (who later moved to ABC News) at
11. As for the separate 5:30 half-hour, I can't remember right now.
...The full title was "Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors", produced by DIC with only one season's
('85-'86) worth of episodes.
..another missing title? This was "Defenders of the Earth", which featured Flash Gordon and a
bunch of other superheroes.
> WWOR-TV 9
...Since you mentioned news anchor pairings, I'm surprised you left this one out. Sara Lee Kessler
(Mondays thru Thursdays) and Tom Dunn co-anchored this program. However, I think Dunn had
retired by this time. Not too long later, the now-MCA-owned WWOR moved the primetime news
to 10:00 and expanded it to a full hour, with two new anchors.
...Wow, late night movies!! Nowadays, channel nine runs informercials between 2 and 6 AM.
> WPIX 11
...WPIX made this change in the spring of '87. I was so mad at them for doing it that I wrote a
letter to them and had most of my fifth-grade classmates to sign it along with me. Back then, The
Transformers was my favorite cartoon show, and I was ticked off that it went to mornings, where
I couldn't watch it on school days.
> 7:30 - The Independent News (with Brad Holbrook and Donna
> Hanover)
...Brad Holbrook now co-anchors one of those weekly syndicated business news shows. Donna
Hanover is out there, somewhere, far removed from her days as New York City's first lady.
...A correction: this is the "Eight o'Clock Movie", when there wasn't a Yankees game (and there
weren't too many of those on WPIX in the '87 season).
...Morton Dean may have still been there. Then again, his time on INN was a blur anyways.
A few weeks later, WPIX made a boner of a scheduling move. The primetime movie was pushed
back to 9:00; the local and national INN news was condensed into 30 minutes at 11:00; and the
empty 8:00 hour was filled with reruns of Hill Street Blues. By the start of 1988, the changes
were reversed.
How about WNET and WLIG skeds from the same week?

With WLIG technically not a local station in NYC, maybe the Times only listed the prime-time
schedule. Also, "Combat" is supposed to be an hour-long show, not half-hour. <P

This must have been before CBS tried to establish a late-night franchise
with The Pat Sajak Show. [And it was a number of years before they wooed
David Letterman away from NBC.] Throughout most of the 1980's, CBS aired
in Canada. [I can't remember all of them, but I think "Adderly" was one of
them.] Remember when CBS showed reruns of "The Prisoner" in the early 1990's at about 12:30
AM on Thursdays?

This is interesting, if for no other reason than to indicate what slim pickings there were in terms
of syndicated reruns.
>
> WWOR-TV 9
Was this show made for any reason other than to embarrass Tom Hanks once he became
famous?
>
Will any two reruns have the staying power of The Odd Couple and The Honeymooners in the
11:00 PM/11:30 PM time slots on channel 11? [I think every once in a while they would flip
them around and start with The Honeymooners at 11 PM, but otherwise, that lineup was more
or less intact from the mid 1970's, when The Odd Couple ended its run on ABC, until perhaps the
1990's? I'm not sure when they changed their lineup.]

I had forgotten that Charlie Rose had done the overnight news on CBS in the 80s. Here we are 30
years later and at age 70 he's hosting the morning news program, as well as filling in on the CBS
Evening News. Not to mention his one-hour weeknight interview show and weekend news
roundup show for PBS. He's like this decade's Regis Philbin, busier than ever at an age when
many are retired.

RKO was famous for this in the 1960s. The "Million Dollar Movie" was generally the best films
from whatever library they could afford, repeated at the same time every weeknight for a week
and/or two or three times in a row Saturday and/or Sunday.
I remember KHJ/9 Los Angeles doing the weeknight repeat as late as 1971.

I did see the Stooges live show at an amusement park stage that summer and they were
definitely past their prime, but hey, it was the original Moe and Larry!

The Stooges were in a revival because of the showing of their old shorts on Local TV across the
USA. They would have shown their age in live shows by 1963. There are some public domain
DVD's of their cartoons produced in 1965 which include live action wraparounds in color..Thats
where they really show their age.

WCBS-TV 2 in NYC and KTTV 11 in Los Angeles were the two earliest stations to go all night. It
wasn't quite 24 hours. WCBS-TV's all-night movies (The Late Show, The Late Late Show, etc.)
ended around 5:30, then a test pattern ran till the station signed back on around 6am. They
didn't bother to time out the movies to end at the beginning of the morning schedule.
Sometimes the last movie ended about 30 minutes before the morning sign-on, where they
could have inserted an old sitcom, but they didn't bother.
KTTV would end its late movies around 6am or 6:30 and sign back on around 7:30. So in effect,
LA did have 24 hour TV before NYC, because KNXT 2 would sign on at 6am. At that time KNXT
didn't run movies till dawn, but it did run movies till around 4am. So Los Angeles viewers had
two stations to choose from except between 4 and 6am.
I haven't found any stations in other markets running all night till the 1970s. Even though the
two CBS stations in NYC and LA stayed on late, CBS stations in other markets ran only one or two
movies after the late news. It wasn't a company policy.

The listing at 7:45 for Channel 2 may have been a misprint. I doubt WCBS-TV did a 45 min.
newscast at 7:45am on a Sunday. There probably was an 8am show but it got omitted. "Give Us
This Day" was WCBS-TV's title for the opening three minute opening prayer. WNBC-TV 4 calls
their opening prayer "Sermonette." Both stations had ministers, priests and rabbis come in and
record these things for showing at sign-on and sign-off.
And notice Channel 4 at 7:45. "Modern Farmer" was a catch-all title for WNBC-TV running
agricultural films early on weekend mornings, which I guess they used as an FCC favor, saying
they were serving the farming communities around New York. I remember the films were all
given out for free from various farm interests, such as the Dairy Council showing us where
cheese comes from and how we should add more cheese in our menus. They might even show
us a family that operates a dairy farm, and how dad, mom and the kids all do their chores for the
cows, and that we should drink more milk.

The 1965 Stooges cartoon shorts, I remember seeing on Philly's WFIL-6. Here's Wiki's article...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Three_Stooges
Notice it came in part from Cambria Studios. I emphasize that only because there's a Cambria
County in my native state of Pennsylvania.
It wouldn't be the last time the Stooge property got the 'toon treatment. Their next one (by
which time Moe and Larry had joined Curly and Shemp in the happy haunting ground) came
from H-B...

What -- you don't think watching sped-up film of a horde of comely British birds in garters,
stockings, and 5-inch FMP heels chasing a pudgy, middle-aged man to the tune of "Yakety Sax" is
a religious experience?

Actually, at that point the sketches from Hill's show that were aired were from when there was
(relatively) more emphasis on his TV show and film parodies, his gallery of characters, his
impersonations, his poems, his songs . . . (that is, the period from 1969 to '79).

Yet there were some ribald material that made the American airwaves -- one sketch involved
Benny and a few other men in a ballet involving a flasher. Just be glad they were wearing body
suits.

Yet, at this point, Channel 9 had not yet gotten the half-hour edits of the episodes which
essentially transformed Hill's show into a de facto Playboy magazine of the air.

I have always wondered what exactly was the difference between the Benny Hill show that the
UK saw and what we saw here in the US? For years I was under the impression that "their"
version of Benny Hill had a lot more nudity and sex jokes but over the years from those who had
seen Benny on UK TV, I have been told otherwise.
I do remember back in 1981, maybe it was 1982 when HBO gave Benny Hill the chance to do a
special for them. People were really expecting totally nude women dancing and Eddie Murphy-
style sex jokes. I mean hey its HBO !!! Then when Benny's HBO special finally did air I seem to
recall it really wasn't all that much more different that what was seen on the many of the OTA
stations at the time other than HBO's Benny Hill was 60 minutes while on plain old regular TV,
Benny's show lasted only 30 minutes. I remember a LOT of people were disappointed with HBO's
version of Benny Hill.

Much of what was "edited" from the early years of the Hill shows when assembled for
syndication were, largely, songs from musical guests that no American would know of (i.e.
Design, Two's Company, Berry Cornish), or to save money on songwriters' royalties per such
numbers, or both. And in the early years of U.S. syndication, many "verbal" comedy routines (i.e.
Scuttle) were cut out altogether. All this was found out upon the release of the complete Hill
shows on DVD by A&E Video several years ago.
There was at least one instance of nudity on the US version of Benny Hill. Somehow it got past
the syndicator and whoever screened the show at local stations.
That would have come from his 1977 Australian-made special, Benny Hill Down Under. The
complete edition of which to date has not been put out on DVD in America, England - and
Australia.
Yet, at this point, Channel 9 had not yet gotten the half-hour edits of the episodes which
essentially transformed Hill's show into a de facto Playboy magazine of the air.
What was strange was that, in the Tampa Bay area in the early-1980s, WTVT ran Benny Hill
Saturday nights at 7:30PM after "Dance Fever" -- when the kiddies are watching.
WOR had a very sports heavy schedule.
seeing that, Besides WOR, New York and WGPR (WWJ(2) today) Detroit, what other non-PBS
stations carried Doctor Who in the USA?
KBSC/52 in Los Angeles carried the Tom Baker episodes for a few years, airing one episode per
weekday at either 7:00 or 7:30pm, until they went 24/7 subscription television as ON TV.
