Retro: "Nawthun Al-bammer," Friday, February 23, 1968 (daytime)
Well, sorry, folks, about the delay in the second and third installments of my Christmas gift. The
holidays are times of relaxation and whatnot for yours truly, and work becomes a four-letter
word often. Anyways, you get my point.
We go back 45 years to another geographically huge Southern edition of TVG, Northern

Alabama. Enjoy as you recover from all your hangovers.

AFTERNOON
12:00
[4] WCBI News (b&w)
(4) Noon Show--local variety show hosted by WSM newsman Jud Collins; unlike seemingly all
other Nashville-based productions, this featured big-band music instead of country (thus aiming
it primarily at a city audience)

[6] Treasure Isle (ABC tape delay)
(23) (31) [33] [42] Let's Make a Deal--who woulda thought, 45 years later, this show would still
be kicking around American TV? Not if you believed the TV critics, who almost to a man panned
this daytime carnival
12:45
[7] [10] (25) Let's Learn More (so said the teacher ... !!!)
1:00
[4] (5) [13] (19) Love Is a Many Splendored Thing--never as successful as the 1955 Bill Holden

(4) (25) (23) (31) [33] [42] Doctors--Colgate-Palmolive's main attempt to make a dent in the near
monopoly held by Procter and Gamble on the daytime serial trade; C-P never became a major
player, though
[6] (8) Baby Game--yes, it was exactly as the title said; married couples bet on how well their
little tikes performed certain stunts (e.g., crawling toward a finish line); contrary to rumor, this
was NOT a Chuck Barris knock-off of "Newlywed Game" (now, we wonder if one of the games
involved whose brat's diaper was the stinkiest--!!!!!!!)
1:45
[7] [10] (25) Handwriting--nope, there wasn't an electronic pen available for the on-screen
teacher to evaluate the pupils' performance; that might have been an inspiration for interactivity
research, who knows?
1:55
[6] WBRC News--Harry Mabry (color)
(8) Mid-South Happening--local (perhaps WSIX News)
2:00
[4] (5) (19) [33] [42] To Tell the Truth--despite prime-time cancellation the previous year, Bud
Collyer and the usual suspects of Peggy Cass, Kitty Carlisle, and either Orson Bean or Tom Poston
soldiered on looking for the real so-and-sos (this was recorded at the old CBS NYC facility on
West 54th Street; a decade later, it would become the infamous Studio 54 club)
(4) [13] (15) (23) (31) Another World--"Join us each weekday at this time for the continuing story
of ..."
[6] (8) General Hospital--in 2013, show will commemorate its 50th anniversary (in April)

(4) [13] (15) (23) (31) You Don't Say!
[6] (8) Dark Shadows--ABC didn't make a particularly good decision to move this cult show to this
timeslot in Spring 1967; would return to 3 p.m. Central, its original home, in the Summer

[7] [10] (25) Concert Hall--no information given about performance or performers; possibly local
production

audience; turns out, their mothers were more interested, despite the contestants being closer in
age to them
[33] Loretta Young--the heroine plays a woman trying to keep her late father's farm from
foreclosure
[42] Topper--1950s sitcom rerun
3:05
[6] Huck and Yogi--that's Huckleberry Hound, of course (probably other Hanna-Barbera cartoons
in the mix, since WBRC owner Taft Broadcasting by then owned H-B also)
3:25
(4) (15) (23) (31) NBC News--Floyd Kalber (broadcast from Chicago, where Kalber helmed NBC
O&O WMAQ's nightly newscast)

[7] [10] (25) Education Report
(8) Mister Ed--"The Lie Detector"

station) hosts afternoon version of Bobby Lord's morning show (a/k/a "16th Avenue South")
[7] [10] (25) Tip-Off--about basketball, but unsure if local or NET
(8) Truth or Consequences--syndicated Bob Barker version; noted as the first successful first-run

...indeed, Walter was on assignment that week -- it was when he travelled back to South
Vietnam to see how the war against Vietnam was really going. On the CBS News Special: Report
from Vietnam ~ Who, What, When, Where, Why?, aired the following Tuesday night, Cronkite
closed the broadcast with the words, "To say that we are closer to victory today is to believe, in
the face of the evidence, the optimists who have been wrong in the past. To suggest we are on
the edge of defeat is to yield to unreasonable pessimism. To say that we are mired in stalemate
seems the only realistic, yet unsatisfactory, conclusion. On the off chance that military and
political analysts are right, in the next few months we must test the enemy's intentions, in case
this is indeed his last big gasp before negotiations. But it is increasingly clear to this reporter that
the only rational way out then will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as an honorable people
who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy, and did the best they could." To this,
President Johnson allegedly replied to his White House aides, "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost
Middle America." Johnson quit his re-election bid the following month...

A great "late" Christmas present, Mike. Thanks so much for posting.
I had some nice belly-laughs from some of your comments, especially those pertaining to
Birmingham's game of "spin the network bottle" and APT/AETV's "instructional" shows (I myself
wondered why there weren't programs devoted to "P.E.", "Cafeteria", "Your Lurning How Too
Spell" or "Antisocial Studies" ... but anyway ...).
As for WBRC airing several CBS soaps, this went back to Channel 6's flip from CBS back in 1961.
42 wasn't yet on the air, and 13 passed on those soaps when trying to fit two big networks (plus,
at the time, an early afternoon movie!). Perhaps CBS wanted them shown badly enough to crawl
to the network that just jilted them ... and/or: was 6 thinking, "What fools WAPI be. There's
ratings gold in those soaps -- we'll keep them!"
Anyway, after 42 signed on, one can assume CBS wanted those soap franchises on the bigger
signal, so they left well enough alone, and 6 kept them. I've always wondered at which point Ch.
6 let those programs go to 13 or 42. I don't think it was the May 1970 realignment. I guess some
poking around in The Tuscaloosa News' archives on Google News is in order.
Birmingham television was one straaaange puppy.

PS -- Did anybody else notice the HUGE quirk in the Huntsville-Decatur area?
WAAY 31 had flipped from NBC at the first of 1968, but WMSL 23 in Decatur did not yet change
to ABC ... so, for a short period, there were two (!) NBC affils in a very short space. I'm not
sure if both Huntsville and Decatur were yet together in a DMA (that's "Designated Market
Area", for the benefit of Mario ;-)), but I've long been curious how NBC allowed for
it. Neither station had extremely tall towers in Feb. 1968, but there was still
substantial overlap in coverage in the valley area between each city. A growing
Madison, for example.
At any rate, WMSL was ABC by that Summer, and, at the end of 1968, gained 25 extra poun--er,
channel numbers after moving to Huntsville.

By the time I moved to Birmingham in June 1969 Ch. 6

was no longer carrying any CBS soaps. 13 had "Search
For Tomorrow," "As The World Turns," "Love Is A Many
Splendored Thing," and "Guiding Light." 42 had "Love Of
Life," "Secret Storm," and "Edge Of Night," and would carry
"Where The Heart Is" when it debuted in September (13 had
"Jeopardy!" at 11 AM CT).
Of course, when 13 became fulltime NBC and 42 fulltime CBS
at the end of May 1970, all the CBS soaps moved to 42, while
13 picked up "Days Of Our Lives," "The Doctors," and "Somerset"
from 42; it already had "Another World" and "Bright Promise," IIRC.

trimmed)
(15) (23) (31) Huntley-Brinkley Report

Re: Retro: "Nawthun Al-bammer," Friday, February 23, 1968 (evening)

(8) Wagon Train (color episode; probably one of the experimental 1961-62 episodes on NBC and
not the 1963-64 season ABC season, whose episodes lasted 75 minutes in length--unless this
was trimmed)
I didn't know that Wagon Train had a color episode during the 1961-1962 season on NBC that
was 90 minutes long. I always thought that that season was in B & W.
This is probably one of the 1963-1964 episodes that aired on ABC. Surprisingly the 90 minute
version of Wagon Train was probably seen more in syndicated reruns than the Ward Bond
episodes or the episodes that aired after Ward Bond died in 1960. One of the reasons that ABC
decided to do Wagon Train for 90 minutes in color for that 1963-1964 season was due to the
success of The Virginian on NBC and they thought ABC could have more success with Wagon
Train being 90 minutes. As it was, Wagon Train was on a huge decline after being moved from
NBC to ABC in 1962-1963 where the last NBC season of Wagon Train in 1961-1962 finished #1.
The first ABC season the next season dropped to #25 for the season. The decline continued with
the 90 minute version which didn't match The Virginian's ratings and for the last season of the
show in 1964-1965 not only did they go back to 60 minutes but went back to B & W as well.

Re: Retro: "Nawthun Al-bammer," Friday, February 23, 1968 (evening)
The year ABC aired "Wagon Train" in color for 90 minutes, 1963-64,
it was on Mondays 8:30-10 PM (ET), where it had to face the formidable
trio of Lucy, Danny Thomas, and Andy Griffith on CBS (Danny voluntarily
gave up his show at the end of that season). "Wagon Train"'s last season,
1964-65, saw it cut back to an hour in black and white and airing Sundays
7:30-8:30 PM (ET), against Disney on NBC and "My Favorite Martian" and
the first half of "The Ed Sullivan Show" on CBS.
90-minute shows were something of a fad after "The Virginian" caught on;
besides the expanded "Wagon Train" ABC offered "Arrest And Trial" that same
year (1963-64) and CBS had "Cimarron Strip" (1967-68); none of the made it.
Later came the more successful "Name Of The Game" (NBC, 1968-71), actually
three rotating series with Robert Stack, Gene Barry, and Tony Franciosa; the
real success of 90-minute shows came after "The Virginian" and that was the
"NBC Mystery Movie" rotation in the '70s.

eventually morphed into The Four Horsemen. Lars left the Crockett NWA circa 1969 and tagged
with "Pretty Boy" Larry Hennig in Verne Gagne's AWA promotion, holding the AWA Midwest Tag
Team Championship in 1971-72. It was while driving to Minneapolis after a Winnipeg match
against Anderson and Hennig that AWA World Tag Team Champions Hercules Cortez and Red
Bastien were injured in a car crash near St. Cloud, MN, on 23 July 1971 (Cortez died the same
day of his injuries). Not long after that, Lars Anderson dropped that name and started wrestling
under his legal name of Larry Heineimi; in the '80s, Heineimi was hired to book the Hawaiian-
based Polynesian Pacific Wrestling until that promotion folded...

In 1978 Lars started a promotion in Georgia, World League Wrestling,
in an attempt to compete with Georgia Championship Wrestling. He
wanted to make it more like legitimate (amateur) wrestling; needless
to say, the public didn't buy it. He had a (real) argument with Ole about
the nature of professional wrestling at the time; Ole (I think, correctly)
defending the use of showmanship in what Vince McMahon calls "sports
entertainment."
What pro wrestling I've seen that most resembled amateur wrestling (and
don't misunderstand, it wasn't amateur wrestling) was Verne Gagne's promotion;
he seemed to recruit a lot of guys from the Big Ten wrestling powerhouses like
Iowa State, and they looked like they really could wrestle.
But don't think for one minute that these guys can't take care of themselves
outside the ring; I remember one morning Ric Flair and Wahoo McDaniel were
having breakfast in a Gastonia, NC, restaurant; somebody recognized them, came
over, and started a diatribe about how wrestling was all fake. Wahoo had him on
the floor in about five seconds. The restaurant's management didn't do one thing
about it, either. OTOH, my dad once had breakfast with Big John Studd (out of
character) in Atlanta and found him to be one of the nicest, most intelligent people
he's ever met; he was particularly impressed by the fact that Studd (real name John
Minton) settled his family in Northern Virginia because of the quality of the schools.

...Gagne was a unique promoter in that respect. He would consciously book on the relatively
conservative side; there were very few "exotic" types like Kamala the Ugandan Giant or The
Missing Link, even in the later years when Gagne was trying to regain his standing versus Junior
McMahon's WWF (Mad Dog Vachon would be the closest to an exception in that regard). And
that conservative approach, coupled with an unusual house show pattern (even in major
markets like Minneapolis and Chicago, the most frequent the house shows ever got was once
every three to four weeks), appealed to those collegians like Brad Rheingans (who became one
of Gagne's main rookie trainers, alongside Billy Robinson), Ric Flair and Laurent Soucie...

...I was involved in pro wrestling for a spell in the mid-'80s as an announcer, and one of the truly
nicest guys I ever encountered was, interestingly enough, Mad Dog Vachon. He's always been an
Opera enthusiast, and we wound up talking for a couple of hours one day about the importance
of the Columbia Grand Opera Series of 1903-04 (the first Opera records ever recorded in the USA
-- before them, everything was imported from France, Germany or Italy) and Enrico Caruso in
the development of the recording industry in the early 20th Century...
Didn't Heineimi wrestle under his own name on "International Championship Wrestling" in the
mid-'70s? I remember announcer
Jack Reynolds referring to (as he pronounced it) "Luscious Larry Heinemini."
Retro: This Week in TV Guide, December 22, 1962 - MSP Edition
Christmas, 1962 - 50 years ago this week to the day. This is one of my favorite issues. And what
did Christmas mean on TV in 1962? Church services galore, Bing Crosby, Jerry Lewis, Amahl and
the Night Visitors, Hurricane Carter, and one of the great football games of all time. As always
your comments, positive and negative, are welcome.

By the greatest football game of all time, are you referring to the USC-Wisconsin Rose Bowl
game played on January 1, 1963? The Trojans holding off the Badgers 42-37. With so much
offense, the game went longer than usual and with no lights at the Rose Bowl, Mel Allen doing
the game on NBC-TV had a hard time seeing the last plays of the game. If so, I agree. It's one of
the great college football games of all time.

undoubtedly near the top.
Of course, it also helps that I actually have a DVD of the game, so I can report on it first-hand!

I remember that one, too. An overtime game that Dallas won with a field goal in the sixth
quarter. That was despite the Dallas player incorrectly advising the referee that the Texans would
kick off to start the overtime portion of the game. I liked Houston then because one of their
quarterbacks was Jackie Lee who had played at the University of Cincinnati.

Interesting what programs each station ran late night on Christmas Eve. CBS runs a half hour of
carols at 10:30 (11:30 E.T.) followed by a Methodist service from a NYC church at 11 (Midnight
E.T.). Then Steve Allen goes 90 minutes at Midnight (1 AM E.T.) Was that a repeat? Did they do
repeats in 1962 or did Steve Allen do a live 1 AM show on Christmas Eve? I notice WCCO then
does news and a half hour of carols at 1:35am. I remember the CBS station in NYC ran all three
movie versions of A Christmas Carol overnight, after CBS religious programming ended.
NBC also runs a half hour of carols at 10:30 (11:30 E.T.) followed by Midnight Mass from St.
Patrick's Cathedral. I always thought NBC ran Mass from St. Peter's in Rome on Christmas Eve.
And WPIX 11 in NYC carried Mass from St. Patrick's, something both stations do to this day. But
then, maybe in 1962, NBC didn't have the ability to carry a 90 minute program from Europe,
especially if it has to be filmed for running five hours later due to time zone differences.
ABC is also odd. KMSP runs a repeat of Adventures in Paradise at 10:30 (11:30 E.T.). Then a half
hour Episcopal service from St. John The Devine in NYC followed by Mass from Immaculate
Conception in Washington, featuring one of the biggest stars of TV in those days, Bishop Fulton
Sheen. But that means in NYC, the St. John's service would begin at 12:30am and in DC, the
Immaculate Conception mass would begin at 1am.
Did ABC force a delay in these services, making their congregations wait so ABC could run
Adventures in Paradise? Or did KMSP delay ABC's Christmas Eve programming by an hour so
they could squeeze in Adventures in Paradise, running their own commercials during the show? I
thought local TV stations didn't have that ability in 1962.
Of course, today, ABC does something similar. They run Nightline at 11:35pm followed by Jimmy
Kimmel. Then at 1am E.T., ABC runs several religious Christmas programs for anyone who is still
awake that late. NBC and CBS give up their Leno and Letterman commercials one night of the
year but ABC doesn't. And those religious programs are not live. They were recorded days or
weeks earlier.

I'm not sure which "Steve Allen Show" this might have been. Based on it being Christmas Eve
into Christmas morning at 1:00 A.M. I would think it wasn't live. With video tape being some five
years in use at that point, repeats could certainly be done. I well recall "The Best of Paar" (a
repeated Jack Paar Show) airing on from 11:15 - 1:00 on Friday nights on NBC in the early 1960's.

Great questions! I think Cincinnati Kid is probably right that Steverino's show was reruns that
week, since Molly Bee was guest the whole week. Either that, or they were shows taped earlier
for broadcast on that week.
Back in the day, the Tonight Show started at 10:15 CT. Channel 5, like many stations, broadcast a
half hour of local news, so they would either join Tonight in progress or delay it by 15 minutes.
(It looks as if they did both of these at various times.) So NBC's program of carols actually started
at 10:15, and was JIP by KSTP.
NBC started the Mass from St. Peter's in 1974, IIRC. (Interesting note - until 1973, Midnight Mass
at the Vatican was a small affair in the Sistine Chapel, reserved for diplomats. Paul VI moved it to
St. Peter's in 1973.) I'm just old enough to remember the era before that - according to a little
online research, they telecast the St. Patrick's Mass for almost a quarter century..
Adventures in Paradise was syndicated on KMSP, part of their adventure lineup (Maverick on
Tuesday, Roaring 20's on Wednesday, movies on Thursday and Thriller on Friday). Based on what
I know about Immaculate Conception's Christmas Eve Mass schedule, it's likely that Bishop
Sheen was presiding at the Midnight Mass (they also have one that starts at 11pm), which would
have been tape-delayed on KMSP to run at midnight local time. I can probably dig around and
find out more, but if this is true then KMSP may have joined the Episcopal service live in
progress.

From 1962 to 1964, Steve Allen emceed a talk/variety show produced and syndicated by Group
W/Westinghouse.
It was never live anywhere, but taped in Hollywood and taped copies air freighted to subscribing
stations.
Most stations got episodes about a week after they were taped.
Although designed as a late-night show, and run by the Group W stations (and a few others)
after the 11 P.M. (10 P.M. Central) local news, some other stations broadcast it in late afternoon
as a lead-in to their early-evening local newscasts. In fact, the two Group W stations affiliated
with NBC at the time (KYW-3 then of Cleveland and WBZ-4 here in Boston) aired the Allen show
instead of NBC's "Tonight Show".
In fact, David Letterman once claimed in an interview that what made him want to someday host
a talk show was watching the Group W Steve Allen show after school in his hometown of
Indianapolis (so it apparently was running there in late-afternoon for at least a time), and that
he'd rush through his homework to be able to catch it from the start.
Allen's Group W show actually began in June of 1962 (during a period when "Tonight" had
various guest hosts while waiting for Johnny Carson's contract as host of "Who Do You trust?" to
expire) in the hope that he would have a four-month head start on Johnny.

Thank you for the information. I remember watching a couple of his shows in 1964 via a cable
service in south-central Kentucky that picked up a Nashville channel that ran it late at night.

Re: Retro: Ontario (most areas) Mon, Jan 5, 1959
I believe the Peter Lind Hayes show (11:30 AM, WKBW)
was on for an hour for its entire short run (10/13/58-
4/10/59). Did Ch. 7 cut away at noon for something else,
such as a local program?
Also, that was the day "Play Your Hunch" (Merv Griffin's
break, much as "Who Do You Trust?" was Johnny Carson's)

moved from CBS to ABC, replacing another game, "Mother's
Day" (which had another future superstar, Dick Van Dyke, as host).
"Hunch" would last on ABC until May 8, then begin its longest
stint on NBC Dec. 7; after Merv left in the fall of '62 to host
his first (daytime) talk show, Richard Hayes and Gene Rayburn
temporarily hosted until Robert Q. Lewis became the permanent
host (11/26/62-9/27/63).
For historical purposes, here's where ABC's first daytime lineup,
nicknamed "Operation Daybreak," stood as of 1/5/59:
11 AM Day In Court (had moved to 2 PM on Dec. 22, 1958; last broadcast
June 24, 1965)
11:30 Peter Lind Hayes (would have its last broadcast Apr. 10, 1959)
12:30 Mother's Day (last broadcast Jan. 2, 1959)
1 PM The Liberace Show (last broadcast Apr. 10, 1959)
1:30 (Local)
2 PM Chance For Romance (last broadcast Dec. 5, 1958; I don't
know what filled the time until Dec. 22)
2:30 (Local)
3 PM Beat The Clock (last broadcast of the original show Jan. 27, 1961)
3:30 Who Do You Trust? (last broadcast Dec. 27, 1963--Woody Woodbury
hosted from Sept. 10, 1962)
4 PM American Bandstand (last daily broadcast Aug. 30, 1963, Saturday-only
from Sept. 7, 1963-Sept. 5, 1987, followed by a syndicated version

1987-89 and one on USA in 1989)
5:30 Mickey Mouse Club (last broadcast of the original show Sept. 25, 1959)

I always thought for some reason PLH was 30 min...in which case WKBW ran the full hour 11:30-
12:30.

I always thought that Anka based that song on a babysitter that he had a crush on.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Wednesday, January 3, 1968
You and I have heard two different versions of the origins of
the song, then. But Anka may have laid that to rest in a 2005
NPR interview when he said it was based on a girl at his church
that he hardly knew.

Re: Retro: Eastern New England - Sunday February 22, 1959
"Community Auditions" on WBZ-4 was hosted by Gene Jones until around 1966 or 1967.
I think Dave Maynard may have done commercials on that show for a few years before becoming
host, but I don't think he was involved in the show as early as February, 1959 even though he
had joined sister station WBZ-1030 as a disc jockey the previous year.

Re "My Dream Is Yours" on WCSH: there's a brief appearance
by Bugs Bunny in a dream sequence featuring the little boy
who's one of the main characters in the movie; Bugs sings a
song called "Freddie (the boy's name), Get Ready."
Retro: Maine (Monday, December 26, 1988)
Source: The Bangor Daily News, December 23, 1988 Edition (also used the December 26, 1988
edition for revised information)
Note #1: All listings began at 10:00 am (if a program on a station began before 10:00 am and
continued past, the first entry after that is listed)
Note #2: Listings regarding NFL playoffs were subject to change (ultimately, just one game was
played, Minnesota defeating Los Angeles 28-17 at the Metrodome, and it likely ran early; based
later entries on what ran the rest of the week)
Note #3: Canadian and Chicago stations listed Eastern Time.
Note #4: When printed, TBS listings were as being on the top/bottom of hour; add at least 5
minutes each time.

One of the stations had a strange programming block. See if you can spot it.
"Family Feud" (syndicated with Ray Combs) followed by "Family Ties" reruns on WLBZ from 7-8?
Ahhh, more WAGM....keep it comin'!
Although, in this case, it was all CBS, except I see "The Golden Girls" at 7:30; I figure this to be an
NBC show delayed from the week prior.
Although there was more and more CBS on WAGM (in fact it looks like by 1988 it was 100% CBS
in 8-11pm primetime), WAGM still seemed to try to find room for shows from other networks if
they could. They actually had programming from all 4 networks, including Fox (NFL on Sunday),
into the mid 1990s. Of course, they are now Fox on the main and CBS on 8.2 (or is it the other
way around?).
cd
By this point, the weekday sked was more or less CBS, with delayed ABC or NBC at 7:30- I have a
July `87 Maritimes TVG with a similar sked for ch 8.
The "odd block" I thought most of you would have spotted by now was on WPXT from 10:30 am
to 1:00 pm - The Dating Game, The Newlywed Game, Divorce Court, Perry Mason.
Looks like WPXT pulled "a KPTV"-Perry Mason at noon. Unfortunately that tradition has ended in
Portland, as Rachael Ray now airs at noon.
-crainbebo
Would you please put up the Portland, ME weekday schedule from September 1989 to August
1990, I want to see if WPXT aired the Super Mario Bros. Super Show.

Re: Retro: Western Illinois Sun, Jan 17, 1965
The NBA game on ABC that day was played in St. Louis, hence, the old St. Louis Hawks (or was it
league policy??) blacked-out the game.
I wonder if any of the ABC stations carrying that game could have been picked-up with an
outdoor antenna in the St. Louis area.
7 KHQA-CBS Davenport
KHQA is actually COL'ed to Hannibal, MO and was/is the CBS affiliate for the Quincy market.
(Davenport is served by WHBF).
And was KHQA also carrying some occasional ABC shows during this time, as has been reported
prior to the sign-on of the ill-fated WJJY-14 over 4 years after this sked?
(http://www.brainmist.com/wjjy_tv/wjjy_tv.htm)
Oops...they listed it as Quincy, must have still had Davenport on the brain when typing in the
channels listed. Ch 7 did indeed run some ABC programming before the launch of WJJY.

I wonder if any of the ABC stations carrying that game could have been picked-up with an

Joe, I think the closest distant ABC signal to the Gateway City would have been a station not
listed here, WSIL, channel 3 in Harrisburg, Illinois. Even so, the best reception would have been
on the Illinois side of the river, what is usually termed "Metro-East." Even so, WSIL might have
been included in the blackout too.
I dunno about NBA policies at the time, but I suspect they weren't a whale of a lot of different
from the NFL. If that was so, the league would have taken all steps to insure no OTA signal could
be picked up in the region (say, 40 to 50-mile radius). As you will note, all the other ABC affils
listed were Us located well outside the St. Louis market's boundaries. The only other possibility
than WSIL would have also been on channel 3, KTVO in Kirksville, Missouri, up at the northern
edge of the state. The next market to SL's west, Columbia-Jefferson City, didn't get ABC full-time
until 1971 when KCBJ, channel 17 (now KMIZ), started up, although CBS affil KRCG or NBC affil
KOMU might have cleared it in lieu of their respective networks' sports carriage that day.
I'm interested in the question also because I have always felt that the old St. Louis edition of TV
Guide was strange, since it only listed stations from that city, and not from neighboring markets.
However, given the strength of the signals of the old "Big Three" back then (KTVI, KMOX, and
KSD) and public TV outlet KETC and indie KPLR, I now know it shouldn't be surprising. I'm sure
those stations were carried on cable well into central Missouri and the better part of southern
Illinois for ages.

Well, there were actually 5 sisters who sang with the King Sisters at various times and their
children, at least 2 of the husbands were part of the show (Robert Clarke and Alvino Rey), and
the Sister's father. By the way one of the younger members of the family was Tina Cole, best
known as Katie on "My Three Sons".

According to Shrp sports, there was no listing for a Chicago Blackhawks' game for January 23,
1965, but the next night, the 24th, they did host the New York Rangers.
Could that game have originally been scheduled for the 23rd (and scheduled for broadcast by
WGN-9), but got postponed due to snow??
Or was it a college hockey game of a Chicago-area team??

Good reason for that. The American was the Tribune's evening paper - they purchased the paper
from Hearst in 1956. It became Chicago Today in 1969, and was shut down in 1974.

Listings didn't indicate one way or the other what it was (the listings were very basic), but based
on what you've posted, sounds like it may have been a college game...

Was wondering if there was a corporate relationship when I saw WGN listed first...for the record,
it was listed as 9C, but I chose to delete the C as there was no other ch 9 in the Western Illinois
version of the supplement. If anyone has any other editions from the Sunday American's
supplement that week, what other versions of the supplement were there and what channels
were listed?

That was the promise of Phonevision - in a time where it took about 5 years for a film to make it
to TV they would show recent films. The drawback was this system could only work in black &
white.

I guess at this time, Steve Allen was syndicated by Westinghouse, which is why Westinghouse-
owned WBZ-TV ran his show after the 11pm news, instead of Johnny Carson, allowing the CBS
affiliate, WHDH-TV, to carry Carson in Boston. And WHYN-TV Springfield picked up Steve Allen
since ABC had no late night shows.
I also see WBZ and WNAC carry 1am movies. Everyone else signs off after the 11:15 movie or
Carson or Allen.
WATR-TV Waterbury, then an ABC affiliate, signs off after the 11pm news. What an odd station,
an ABC affiliate only 35 miles from WNHC 8 New Haven. WATR only signs on at 10:30am and
they're off the air by 11:15pm. They had almost no programming to run when they weren't
carrying ABC shows, not even an evening newscast, only an 11pm news. Could you imagine what
that must have been? Someone reading wire copy for a few minutes before the National Anthem
gets played?
What the heck was "Mail Order Market"? WATR would run that between 5pm and 7:30pm, only
breaking for the 15 min. ABC national news at 6:45. Was this a forerunner of infomercials or
HSN/QVC? Later WATR would become an NBC affilate, only 30 miles from WVIT 30 New Britain-
Hartford. I remember NYC TV Guides would carry their program listings and except for a few
black-and-white syndicated shows, they had almost nothing to run when NBC wasn't supplying
them with programming.
By this time, another early Connecticut UHF station, WICC-TV 43 Bridgeport, an ABC and
Dumont affiliate with very few viewers, was already off the air.

Many NBC affiliates dropped Tonight during the "Tonight: America After Dark" era in early 1957.
Most came back by the end of the year, after Jack Paar took over but some didn't. (WJAR
Providence did not clear it until Spring 1960 - WPRO aired it until then). WBZ and sister station
KYW Cleveland didn't clear Tonight in part due to Group W's differences with NBC over the KYW
trade - syndicating shows (like PM East and Steve Allen) came later.

...and "Call Me Bwana" was in Color!
I'm guessing the station wasn't color-casting anyway.
I wonder if "Phonevision" was hackable like the 1970's-1980's OTA Pay-TV incription systems.

WSB did much the same thing, never carrying Paar, who was carried in Atlanta by then-ABC
affiliate WLW-A (now WXIA)
Ch. 11. WSB did not resume carrying "The Tonight Show" until Johnny Carson took over October
1, 1962; he remained
on Ch. 2 until the ABC/NBC switch of September 1, 1980, when "Tonight" went back to 11 Alive.
WSB did carry Steve Allen's late-'60s syndicated show on Saturday afternoons in 1968 and '69;
Ted Turner later picked
it up and aired it five mornings a week.

NOTE: TV Guide doesn't indicate if Chs. 8, 15,

back on WFLA.

Re the ABC affiliate in Pembina: did ABC pre-empt "The FBI" that night,
or did Ch. 12 pre-empt it regularly? It would have been on at 7 PM (CT), between
"Land Of The Giants" and the "ABC Sunday Night Movie." What I find so
strange is that two movies are scheduled back-to-back, one at 7, followed
by one at 8:50.

To me, that looks like a couple of local movies preempting everything on ABC from 7-10 PM. I
can't find any postings for that night from other editions of TVG, but maybe someone can
confirm what ABC ran that night.

I believe KCND (which I suspect really targeted Winnipeg) went out of business a few years later
and that the founders of the Global TV Network successfully convinced the CRTC to put in a VHF
allocation (Channel 9?) in the Winnipeg area.
They went as far as buying the technical facilities of KCND (except the tower and antenna),
moved the equipment north of the border, and launched their new station with the KCND gear.
The new station became (and I think to this day is still known as) CKND-TV.

I believe KCND (which I suspect really targeted Winnipeg)
That was indeed the case. Here's a quote about KCND from Timothy Green's The Universal Eye, a
1972 book about television around the world:
"The village of Pembina in North Dakota seems a strange place to have a powerful television
station. Only a couple of hundred people live there and the nearest American town of any size is
many miles away. But the advertisers who queue up to buy time on KCND-TV Pembina have their
eye not on Americans, but on the half a million Canadians living just north of the border in the
city of Winnipeg. The investment pays off; the people of Winnipeg spend a fifth of their viewing
time watching the Pembina station."

Do Singapore stations have call letters or or they identified

As far as I know, 5, 8 and 12 all go by their channel numbers only.

I see WBRC aired Jeopardy! twice a day. Usually if that's the case, it means that one of the airings
is a rerun from the previous season. If that's the case, I'm guessing it's the midday airing. Though
I know that in most of the Central Time Zone, Jeopardy! always airs first, and Wheel of Fortune
almost always airs at 6:30. Does WBRC still air these shows?

ABC 33/40 has "Wheel" at 6:30; WIAT has back-to-back
episodes of "Jeopardy!" in the afternoon (either 3-4 or
4-5, I'm not sure which).

Do you know if the WIAT double run of Jeopardy has a last-season rerun for the 2nd run? I only
see last season shows on Saturday evenings (Wheel is also a last-season rerun on Saturdays).

Thanks anabate for the info about the Lionhearts in Birmingham, and now do you have the
Birmingham weekday listings for October 1989 to August 1991 and from October 1992 to August
1993, I want to know what station in Birmingham aired The Super Mario Bros. Super Show and
Captain N and the Video Gamemasters. If you don't have those listings the post "I don't have the
listings for it" or something like that so that I will know that you don't have it, so I won't be
thinking that nobody cares about my request, i'd really appricate it.

I know the Saturday "Wheel" and "Jeopardy!" shows are
from last season (we get them on WFMY and WTVD), but
I'm not sure about the second-run daytime "Jeopardy!" shows;

a couple of years ago WFMY ran them at 10:30 AM but, not
being a regular viewer, I couldn't place some of the contestants.
Perhaps someone else can better answer your question.
"Jeopardy!" fared poorly in the morning in Greensboro, and WFMY
added a third episode of "The Andy Griffith Show" (it has them at
10 AM and 5:30 PM as well) Monday-Wednesday, and a show
resembling sister station WXIA's "Atlanta and Company" on Thursdays
and Fridays, where local companies advertise in the guise of a talk show.

Re: Retro: Hartford CT - WTIC sign-on and first week September 1957
Also part of that premiere was the legendary Bob Steele, the longtime morning man at WTIC-AM
1080. I don't think channel 3 became a CBS affiliate until 1960 or so. The station changed their
call letters to WFSB-TV in 1974. The call letters live on today for Tribune-owned FOX channel 61,
unrelated to channel 3's original owners.

I think the St. Nicholas Arena (New York) boxing show was syndicated for a while after DuMont
went out of the network business.
I don't know who syndicated it, but my guess is it was something like Sports Programs, Inc.,
Sports Network, Incorporated (SNI), or some other such firm that deal in producing sports
events, renting facilities and landlines, and syndicating them.
I suspect the boxing show had to come in via long-line facilities; I doubt that even atop their
transmitng tower, WTIC-3 could have gotten a clear off-the-air signal from Channel 5 in New
York that they could have rebroadcast.

The reason the old WTIC-3 began live as an independent station was that they couldn't get a
network affiliation, despite their VHF signal.
At the time, CBS and NBC had UHF O&O's in the market (WHCT-18 and WKNB-30); while ABC
had WNHC-8 (now WTNH) in nearby New Haven.
Then-sister station WTIC-1080 was at the time an affiliate of the NBC Radio Network, and had
NBC not had a UHF O&O, Channel 3 would have become the NBC station for both Hartford and
Springfield.
WTIC-3 could have possibly made a run to become an ABC affiliate, but it would have forced
WNHC to drop it's ABC affiliation and WWLP-22 to drop it's secondary ABC affiliation (WWLP
was, and is still NBC primary; WWLP would lose ABC within a year and has been fulltime NBC
ever since). Had WTIC gotten ABC. WNHC might have either become an independent, or may
have been able to convince CBS and NBC to give them affiliations, since New Haven is some 50
miles south of Springfield (Until 1955, WNHC "cherry-picked" shows from ABC, CBS, NBC and the
now-defunct DuMont network).
But in 1958, CBS sold WHCT, and decided to affiliate with WTIC, given it's big VHF signal that
covered almost all of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts.That also triggered an affiliation
change in Springfield: WHYN lost CBS and became a fulltime ABC outlet, while WWLP (as noted
above) became fulltime NBC.
The exact date WTIC-TV became a CBS affiliate was 11/16/58. If in fact, they had a choice
between linking up with ABC or CBS--- picking CBS was a no brainer.
Can you post listings from the the week WTIC changed it's call letters to the current CBS affiliated
WFSB-TV?
The week of
January 21 - 27, 1974?

And do you also have listings from the week WTIC became a CBS affiliate?

Unfortunately I don't have either set of listings. As I understand it the sale of WTIC came about
10 months before the call letter change, so I'm not sure there would be much difference in the
listings for Jan 21-27, 1974. If I ever come across either listings I will post them.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Tuesday, December 27, 1966

Actually, I think it was a women's program; there were
a lot of them at 1 PM on CBS and NBC stations at the time,
and I don't think (the holidays excepted) many kids would
have been home at that time to watch cartoons (even though
I know that kids in many Midwestern markets--notably Chicago--
went home for lunch for years and had cartoons at 12 N (CT)).

Re: Retro: South Georgia/North Florida Fri, Jan 7, 1977
That should be 13* for "Chico And The Man," which
aired on NBC. 13 is WMAZ Macon (CBS).
WJHG and WDTB (WMBB) would swap
networks in 1982, putng WJHG back on NBC, which
it had left for ABC in 1972. Panama City, after years
of relying on WTVY Dothan, AL, for CBS, got a low-power
CBS station, WECP, on (I believe) digital 18 about six months
ago.
We make fun of the South Georgia edition for the huge number
of stations in it, but the fact is that its target markets (Columbus,
Macon, Albany, and Tallahassee) are so close together that it would
have been impractical to have separate editions for them all; in addition,
the Jacksonville stations get into places such as Brunswick and Waycross,
and there has always been (in part because of cable, in part because
of some strong broadcast signals, at least in analog days) a good deal
of spillover from Atlanta, Dothan, Panama City, and Savannah (which got
added to this edition later). So it's frustrating (and Montana is the only
other edition I can think of with such a huge number of stations) but the
only practical solution to the large number of stations in a relatively-small
area.
The South Texas edition at this same time was also rather huge; it covered
San Antonio, Austin, Corpus Christi, Laredo, Victoria, and the Lower Rio Grande
Valley (Brownsville/Harlingen/Weslaco).

Noticing the Merv Griffin guests: Tim Matheson and Kurt Russell were probably promoting their
TV show "The Quest." (Matheson, interestingly, was the original voice of Jonny Quest.) Ed
Bluestone was one of the regulars on the short-lived "Laugh-In" revival, with a not-yet-famous
Robin Williams.
The South Georgia edition of TV Guide was the one I grew up with, and I do recall when the
Savannah stations were added. 11 in Atlanta had the white icon, 11 in Tallahassee a black icon,
and 11 in Savannah had the half black/half white icon.
Georgia Public TV had that "E" icon, which changed to "GPT" if I recall.

area.
My home edition, Maritime (Provinces), had the same situation, covering 3 provinces. When the
Detroit channels were added around 1982, TVG used elongated (xxD) bullets for them, but when
Boston channels were added 14 years later, TVG had to be real creative, using a black [2] for
WGBH, a sandwich (/4/) for WBZ, recycling (/5/) for WCVB (bullet was previously used for WABI
Bangor), and recycling a white "7" WHDH (used for CKCD Campbellton during its days as a hybrid
CTV/CBC station).

That should be 13* for "Chico And The Man," which
aired on NBC. 13 is WMAZ Macon (CBS).
WJHG and WDTB (WMBB) would swap
networks in 1982, putng WJHG back on NBC, which
it had left for ABC in 1972. Panama City, after years
of relying on WTVY Dothan, AL, for CBS, got a low-power
CBS station, WECP, on (I believe) digital 18 about six months
ago.

But, the south TX edition didn't ever carry the Spanish Mexican border stations, did it? They
certainly had pretty much the same coverage/exposure on TV there.
I once had (or saw) a south TX edition from 1996 that had XHFOX & XHFTX, because they were
Fox affiliates, even though they were in Mexico. Was XHRIO 2 in TV Guide when they were Fox
(or even in prior years)?
There's also chs 7 & 14 Matamoros, and 9 Reynosa---IMO it was as if TVG never knew they
existed.

Was there a reason Channels 36 & 46 in ATL were not in this edition?

Simple, my dear Watson. 36 and 46 were UHFs that didn't go very far into middle Georgia--it
would have been iffy at best for them to have popped up on, say, the cable systems in Macon or
Warner Robins, let alone anyplace farther south. And this TV Guide primarily focused on the
entire southern half of the state generally, not Middle Georgia particularly. The reason the
Atlanta Vs were carried by TVG was because cable systems in some communities, from Macon to
Valdosta, brought them in to supplement the few local channels available in the days of 2-13. I
don't know anything about the technical side of things, but I posted a listing some time back
from Tallahassee, Florida from 1979 where all of the Atlanta Big Three Vs were on the cable
there. This means that relays were used, as we know was the case with Ted Turner's WTCG. Don
Kennedy and Pat Robertson, owners of WATL and WHAE (now WGCL), respectively, didn't have
the capital to do that sort of thing (at least in Kennedy's case), and, besides, Robertson was
planning a rollout of 700 Club nationwide by this time anyway, that would wind up in all the
other markets listed here.
Not the most watertight of explanations perhaps, but it is the most plausible scenario that I can
think of.

IIRC XHRIO 2 was listed back in the late 70s, when it was an cross-border anglo indie...

XHRIO was indeed listed in the South Texas edition, but never,
ever to my knowledge were the Matamoros and Reynosa stations
you mentioned; given that both cities are just across the Rio Grande
it does present a puzzle.

Back to South Georgia, WGCL was added to that edition when it
became Atlanta's CBS affiliate, although WAGA was not dropped.
Remember the 15% rule; a station had to cover at least 15% of
an edition's circulation area in order to be included, and WATL
never did (it was listed only in the Atlanta edition).
Retro: This Week in TV Guide, January 6, 1973 - MSP Edition
As the new year starts, we see the introduction of one of the most influential television
programs of the 1970, and perhaps the first "reality" show - PBS' "An American Family." Read
more about this strange, controversial and ground-breaking series. Also, Jack Paar returns to
television, TV Guide takes a look back at the past year, and more.

Re: Retro: This Week in TV Guide, January 6, 1973 - MSP Edition
I didn't know that the WHA had games on CBS! I grew up west of Boston as a New England
Whalers fan in the later 70s and would have loved to have seen games. (I followed both the
Whale and the Cincinnati Stingers on radio, and of course could watch the Bruins on WSBK). Did
the Fighting Saints have any local radio or TV coverage?

As I recall, WHA coverage on TV was sketchy at best. The game on CBS was a one-off, I think, so it
wasn't a regular package.
The only Fighting Saints game I ever saw televised was, of all things, a game on Channel 2, the
PBS station. Frank Buetel, the longtime North Stars announcer, did the play-by-play. It was a
home game, presented without commercial interruption. Quite possible there were more, but I
don't think there was anything like regular TV coverage. Wikipedia tells me that a few games
were on WTCN-11, and that radio coverage was on WLOL. I lived outside the Twin Cities area for
most of the time the WHA was in existence, so I'll have to rely on the memories of others. Really
enjoyed that league, though!

Never saw the WHA turn up on CBS here in Pittsburgh. Only WHA game I ever recall seeing was
their
All-Star Game about a year before the merger. That was carried on our local PBS station, WQED.
I'm assuming that Dean Martin show on NBC at 9PM was one of the Dean Martin Roasts?
His regular series was long gone by '73, near as I can recall.

More than likely it's his regular show; jump ahead a week
and his guests are Steve Lawrence and Dick Martin; the week
after that his guests are Joey Bishop and Petula Clark. There
is no roast on either episode. You may be referring to "The Dean
Martin Comedy Hour," which began in the fall of '73 and which featured
a roast segment each week.

WHA On U.S. TV (Was: Re: This Week in TV Guide, January 6, 1973 - MSP Edition)
There were four WHA games on CBS in the 1972-73 season, all on weekend afternoons: two in
the regular-season, and two playoff games (the latter being Game 5 of the finals, when the then-
New England Whalers, based then in Boston, won the first Avco Cup in front of a home crowd).
But at the end of the 1973-74 regular season, the team left Boston for Hartford (but played
home games during the 1974 playoffs and the first part of the 1974-75 season in Springfield,
Massachusetts until a new arena in Hartford was finished), where they became the Hartford
Whalers.
It's my understanding that had the Avco Cup Finals gone to a seventh game, it would have been
an afternoon game the following weekend for CBS broadcast.
During the two years the Whalers were in Boston, the then-WKBG-56 carried their games. In
year one, they did 25 regular-season games (20 home and 5 away), plus playoff road games. The
second year, they carried 20 regular-season games (5 home and 15 away), but no playoff games
since the team's home playoff games were being played in Springfield. I think WHCT-18 in
Hartford simulcast the last few Whalers' games aired by WKBG in February and March of 1974
after the team announced that they would be moving down I-84. It's possible that some playoff
games in 1974 (likely away contests) may have been broadcast by either WHCT or another
Hartford TV station.

I have a DVD from the collectors market of a Whalers at Quebec Nordiques game from February,
1978. It was on WVIT, with very minimal graphics and Bob Neumier (voice of the Whalers during
the Hartford WHA years on WTIC 1080) doing play-by-play, John Hewitt on color, and Tony
Edwards and former Whaler Tom Webster in studio. I was into radio DXing in those days, since
we only had one TV and 5 kids in the house so I wasn't able to see it live.

Re: Retro: North Carolina Mon, Jan 8, 1962
Funny, I never remember Steve Allen airing on WTVD; I assume,
since this appears to be a Christmas show, that it was his short-lived
ABC Wednesday-night show that had its last broadcast Dec. 27, 1961.
I do recall WFMY and WECT carrying Steve on Saturday afternoons in
the fall of '61.
I think it was later that year that he started his first syndicated show,
as Group W wanted to get the jump on NBC after Johnny Carson was
hired to do the "Tonight Show," but had to finish out his contract as
host of ABC's "Who Do You Trust?". But by late summer "Tonight" would
be on WTVD, following WRAL's switch to ABC on August 1.

Interesting how the stations who took programs from two networks chose which one to air. It
also appears some ran the shows from another network on a delayed basis (ee: Leave It To
Beaver on NBC affiliate WSJS, Channel 12 in Winston-Salem on a Monday at 7:00 P.M.).

The "Rifleman" episode, "The Princess" Guest starred Annie Farge' as a Princess from an
unnamed European Country hiding out at Lucas Mc Cain's North Fork Ranch with her little
brother.
The episode also featured Ron Penfound of ABC affiliate WEWS-TV 5 Cleveland in the minor role
of "Mr. Smith" one of the men looking for Miss Farge's Character..Chuck Connors had visited
Penfound's "Captain Penny" kids show on WEWS and invited Penfound out to California to do
the episode, which was filmed in mid December, 1961..

"Tom Conway" on the Steve Allen Show was actually Tim Conway, not long after leaving
Cleveland's WJW-TV as director/sidekick to Ernie Anderson on a Morning Movie Show..He would
get his big break on McHale's Navy several months later..

At last, a credit for Annie Farge other than her sitcom "Angel"!
Tom Conway was the brother of George Sanders; and I suppose
Tim Conway changed his first name from Tom to avoid confusion,
not that there would have been any. Likewise, Henry Morgan changed
his name to Harry Morgan when the satirist-game show panelist Henry
Morgan came on the scene in the '40s.

I remember Anne Farge from "Angel" the 1960-61 CBS-TV series and thought she would go on to
many other things, but little was seen of her (at least in the U.S.) other than a couple of series
guest shots. She passd away in France in early 2011 at the age of 78.

Re: Retro: Seattle/Tacoma, Sat. May 28th, 1955
I don't know if this took place when Garry Moore was guesting
on George Gobel's show (I think it did), but Lonesome George
brought in a bottle and two glasses to Garry's dressing room,
uncorked the bottle, and began to pour, signaling "say when."
Garry declined, saying he never took a drink before facing an
audience. "You mean," asked an astounded George, "that you
go out there all alone?"

Slightly off-topic: Bud Abbott and Lou Costello used to compete
to see who could come up with the most elaborate Christmas display,
and Lou, who lived across the street from George, came up with one
one year that prompted George to put a sign in his own yard: "See our
display across the street." George once invited Lou to his house,
something he had never done before, and Lou declined, angrily chastising
George for having been a neighbor for years and never once inviting him over.

No DuMont affiliate? You would think KTVW 13 as a primary or KING 5 as a secondary would fill
that void back then.....
Interesting.....

...well, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen's Life is Worth Living had just switched from DuMont to ABC four
weeks earlier; is it possible that the installment run on CBUT/2 at 6:00 PM was one of the later
DuMont episodes?...

By this time DuMont as a Network was pretty much finished..Captain Video had already been
canceled, as were just about all their Prime Time Shows (except for Fulton Sheen, which had
moved to ABC) Game Show Down You Go had changed networks as well. A Boxing Show was all
there was left of the Network, and it held on till August 1956..

DuMont was secondary on "all-four" station KRSC-5 until 1952. Then it switched to the
secondary affiliation of KTNT-11 (CBS).

It's amazing how little news each of these stations does on a Saturday. Only WBTV Charlotte and
WSPA Spartanburg have dinnertime and late newscasts.
Meanwhile WCYB Bristol and WSOC Charlotte have 30 minute late newscasts. But because the
NBC Movie runs so late, they don't get on the air till almost midnight. Both stations are willing to
invest in a full Saturday night newscast, but they don't want to take up valuable time earlier in
the evening for a dinner newscast. WCYB doesn't want to cut into its series of half hour country
music shows (Porter Waggoner, Country Music Carousel, etc.) between 3:30 and 7pm. WSOC
didn't even figure out WHAT it wanted to run between 5pm and 6pm before TV Guide went to
press. But apparently they didn't want to run news then.
Major network VHF stations WATE and WBIR Knoxville, and WLOS Asheville, don't have any local
news at all. WFBC Greenville only has time for five minutes of local news at dinnertime.
WBTV 3 Charlotte -- 6 to 6:30pm, 11 to 11:20pm
WFBC 4 Greenville -- 5:55 to 6pm
WCYB 5 Bristol -- 7:25 to 7:30am, 11:45pm to 12:15am
WATE 6 Knoxville -- none

WSPA 7 Spartanburg -- 6 to 6:30pm, 11 to 11:15pm
WSOC 9 Charlotte -- 11:45pm to 12:15am
WBIR 10 Knoxville -- none

At the time it was almost impossible to find an ABC affiliate
with local news on Saturdays, at least in these parts; in
Virginia/North Carolina/east Tennessee/North Georgia/Northern
Alabama I can think of only two: WNBE (now WCTI) New Bern,
NC, had a 6:30 PM newscast; WRAL Raleigh had ten minutes at
11:15 after ABC's newscast.

However, there were some CBS and NBC affiliates that did 30
minutes of local and 30 minutes of network news early Saturday
evenings: WFMY and WSJS (WXII) Greensboro/Winston-Salem/
High Point (CBS and NBC, respectively); WTAR (WTKR) Norfolk
and WTVR Richmond (both CBS); WITN Greenville/New Bern/Washington
(NBC). WSB and WAGA had 30-minute newscasts at 6 (Ch. 5) and 6:30
(Ch. 2), and both had 30-minute 11 PM newscasts.
In January 1969, in Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville, both WFBC (WYFF)
and WSPA went to 30 minutes local/30 minutes network early Saturday
evenings; it was at that time that the Saturday edition of "The Huntley-
Brinkley Report" debuted on NBC; Ch. 4 picked it up and, not to be outdone,
Ch. 7 began airing Roger Mudd's newscast.
In the South, you were more likely to find a full hour of local and network
news in Florida, especially on the NBC stations in Orlando and Tampa and
the CBS ones in Orlando and Ft. Myers.
I remember that when I first moved to Birmingham in 1969 there were no
local newscasts on Saturdays; Huntley-Brinkley and Mudd were available
early, and WBRC carried ABC's newscast on a one-hour delay (11 PM CT),
and that was it.
I think the point when stations began to expand their weekend news times
was during Watergate, when news ratings in general were up, but I also recall
that Atlanta's Ch. 11 did something really unusual in the fall of '72: noon newscasts
on Saturday and Sunday (WSB still does this, as do some other stations including
sister stations WFTV Orlando and WSOC Charlotte).

It was like that in Charleston too. Channel 5 (WCSC) did a 30 minute news on Saturday at 6:30.
Channel 2 at the time (WUSN) did 30 minutes of late news, but that was it.
There was no news on Sunday except for WUSN doing a 15 minute news at 11:45 and WCSC
doing 15 minutes of CBS at 11:00.
WCBD didn't start a consistent weekend 11pm news until the fall of 1983. WCIV did an early
news, but no late news.
They didn't start a Saturday late news until the 90s.

It's amazing how little news each of these stations does on a Saturday. Only WBTV Charlotte and
WSPA Spartanburg have dinnertime and late newscasts.
Meanwhile WCYB Bristol and WSOC Charlotte have 30 minute late newscasts. But because the
NBC Movie runs so late, they don't get on the air till almost midnight. Both stations are willing to
invest in a full Saturday night newscast, but they don't want to take up valuable time earlier in
the evening for a dinner newscast. WCYB doesn't want to cut into its series of half hour country
music shows (Porter Waggoner, Country Music Carousel, etc.) between 3:30 and 7pm. WSOC
didn't even figure out WHAT it wanted to run between 5pm and 6pm before TV Guide went to
press. But apparently they didn't want to run news then.
Major network VHF stations WATE and WBIR Knoxville, and WLOS Asheville, don't have any local
news at all. WFBC Greenville only has time for five minutes of local news at dinnertime.
WBTV 3 Charlotte -- 6 to 6:30pm, 11 to 11:20pm
WFBC 4 Greenville -- 5:55 to 6pm
WCYB 5 Bristol -- 7:25 to 7:30am, 11:45pm to 12:15am
WATE 6 Knoxville -- none
WSPA 7 Spartanburg -- 6 to 6:30pm, 11 to 11:15pm
WSOC 9 Charlotte -- 11:45pm to 12:15am
WBIR 10 Knoxville -- none
WJHL 11 Johnson City -- 11 to 11:15pm
WLOS 13 Asheville -- none

WCCB 18 Charlotte -- none
WTVK 26 Knoxville -- none
WCTC 36 Charlotte -- none
WAIM 40 Anderson -- none

At the time it was almost impossible to find an ABC affiliate
with local news on Saturdays, at least in these parts; in
Virginia/North Carolina/east Tennessee/North Georgia/Northern
Alabama I can think of only two: WNBE (now WCTI) New Bern,
NC, had a 6:30 PM newscast; WRAL Raleigh had ten minutes at
11:15 after ABC's newscast.
However, there were some CBS and NBC affiliates that did 30
minutes of local and 30 minutes of network news early Saturday
evenings: WFMY and WSJS (WXII) Greensboro/Winston-Salem/
High Point (CBS and NBC, respectively); WTAR (WTKR) Norfolk

and WTVR Richmond (both CBS); WITN Greenville/New Bern/Washington
(NBC). WSB and WAGA had 30-minute newscasts at 6 (Ch. 5) and 6:30
(Ch. 2), and both had 30-minute 11 PM newscasts.
In January 1969, in Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville, both WFBC (WYFF)
and WSPA went to 30 minutes local/30 minutes network early Saturday
evenings; it was at that time that the Saturday edition of "The Huntley-
Brinkley Report" debuted on NBC; Ch. 4 picked it up and, not to be outdone,
Ch. 7 began airing Roger Mudd's newscast.
In the South, you were more likely to find a full hour of local and network
news in Florida, especially on the NBC stations in Orlando and Tampa and
the CBS ones in Orlando and Ft. Myers.
I remember that when I first moved to Birmingham in 1969 there were no
local newscasts on Saturdays; Huntley-Brinkley and Mudd were available
early, and WBRC carried ABC's newscast on a one-hour delay (11 PM CT),
and that was it.
I think the point when stations began to expand their weekend news times
was during Watergate, when news ratings in general were up, but I also recall
that Atlanta's Ch. 11 did something really unusual in the fall of '72: noon newscasts
on Saturday and Sunday (WSB still does this, as do some other stations including
sister stations WFTV Orlando and WSOC Charlotte).

It was like that in Charleston too. Channel 5 (WCSC) did a 30 minute news on Saturday at 6:30.
Channel 2 at the time (WUSN) did 30 minutes of late news, but that was it.
There was no news on Sunday except for WUSN doing a 15 minute news at 11:45 and WCSC
doing 15 minutes of CBS at 11:00.
WCBD didn't start a consistent weekend 11pm news until the fall of 1983. WCIV did an early
news, but no late news.
They didn't start a Saturday late news until the 90s.

Roy Skinner was the basketball coach at Vanderbilt from 1960-76, and is still the winningest
coach in Commodores history. Somewhat notably, he also recruited the first African-American
athlete to sign with an SEC school in any varsity sport.

Would love to see Saturday and Sunday schedules as well...Also WHFT 45 was missing...I think I
know why - this was not strictly Miami and WHFT was not widely carried outside the Miami
Market so that is why it was not included in your listings. Still surprised to see Channel 51
included though.

Also missing Channel 7 WSVN - I would think if TV 51 was included WSVN would be. I could see
excluding WHFT but Channel 7 was likely widely carried as well. I believe they had a different set
of call letters though but they had the same owners as they have today.

7 (at the time WCKT) and 45 were not included as no cable system carried them in the News-
Press' circulation area. 51 was, as it was seen within the News-Press area, at least late at night
(when it replaced WCIX on some systems after they signed off).

I would say WCKT was not carried, due to being NBC as WBBH---but WFLA was there, so that
theory is out. (Wonder how WBBH felt, as WINK with WTVJ there.)
Note----NHL Hockey on WPBT 2! This was actually a syndicated weekly Monday night game, like
the Canadian Football games in the 70s. No commercial station in Miami wanted it, so..... (I still
think that is quite a departure for WPBT. During intermissions as I recall, there was a pledge drive
("You wanna see more of this NHL, right? Get on your phone...." )
I actually saw a night-school classmate of mine manning one of those phones.

Do you have any listings from Local TV guides from Southern Florida or Tampa-Sarasota or Fort
Myers News-Press from the time range of October 1995 - July 1999?
Just as unusual is them carrying "Mary Hartman", while still in first run -- apparently, no one in
Miami wanted that, either.
You are correct, sir. MH, MH always slips by my mind....

I'm curious why Pittsburgh's WIIC/WPXI 11 is not listed?
I have personally tuned that in as far north as Meadville, PA back in the analog days.

Did Channel 8 really work around the Saturday morning lineup purposely so they could air the
network Popeye as soon as the "Popeye Playhouse" on Channel 3 was done?

Of the Pittsburgh 6 KDKA and WPXI was viewable in most of the southern parts of the
Youngstown market as you get toward Warren you have a harder time getng them, ch 4 forget
about it as its transmitter was too south to be seen, WQED-13 was on many of the Youngstown
cable system (still is) and in the eyes of PBS QED is considered a secondary PBS as a result of
such cable carriage. WPGH was carried on certain systems in the Youngstown area
(Struthers,New Castle) thanks to Youngstown not having a FOX station of its own and when
Sinclair bought/began operating ch 22, the same systems that carried ch 53 also carried ch 22.
During the years of no FOX,WB,UPN most of Y-town got WOIO (Fox) later FOXNET or WJW, WUAB
(WB/UPN), and either the wb plus 100 from Wheeling or WBNX from Cleveland but as
Youngstown would add a Fox,WB/CW, and MY-NET the out of town stations were dropped even
though in the city of Youngstown its self carries WOIO/WUAB and in Trumbul county
WKYC,WEWS,WJW,WOIO and WUAB are carried on at least the armstrong system.
Youngstown never got on cable PCNC but from almost the beginning did get KBL sports and at
one point some Youngstown state programming produced by WKBN-TV aired there.

Sweet! Another big ol' edition with 21 different channels (excluding "superstation" WOR), from
what I could count. And we thought South Georgia or Montana was all alone at the top of the
heap.
I don't know much about eastern Ohio or western Pennsylvania, but it seems to me there
were/are an awful lot of UHFs for that part of the country. I wonder about reception, since I
would think the region is fairly hilly and even mountainous in spots. Then again, I might be
wrong, and the FCC had to know what it was doing in the allocations. At least Youngstown got
designated as a U island, leaving all three big-network affils on a pretty even keel, the contrast of
the situation in Erie, where a long-dominant V (12) probably ran roughshod over the two Us (24
and 35)--and perhaps still does. Of course, surrounded by Cleveland, Wheeling-Steubenville,
Pittsburgh, and Buffalo, it looks like only 6 or 13 would have been available for either market,
with the nearest 6 at Johnstown, Pennsylvania (WJAC) and 13 at Toledo, Ohio (WTVG).

17 100 Huntley Street - thought this was a Canadian program. What is it doing on a U.S. station?
"100 Huntley Street" was also syndicated to mainly-Christian stations in the US. I also recall
WCLF in Tampa Bay carrying the show into the 1990s.

What about WQED Pittsburgh, which was also on 13?
As for channel 6, we should also consider Canada as well -- across the lake is CKGN / CIII channel
6, the Global flagship station in Paris, Ontario.

Even without cable in this immediate area, I've always felt someone with a good fringe antenna
and a rotor could have picked up a large number of over-the-air stations on both VHF and UHF
on their home TV. In terms of those over-the-air signals, I'm thinking of: Cleveland, Pittsburgh,
Akron, Wheeling, maybe even Columbus along with the other cities with UHF outlets. I thought
that might have been the case with many persons who lived in northeastern Ohio and had the
proper equipment to use.
A similar location that I have seen numerous stations received was in west central Ohio. I was
visiting my former employer in Eaton, Ohio one summer evening and saw him pick up a station
on each VHF channel and sometimes a second one on the same channel when he re-directed the
antenna and also a number of UHF outlets. In that particularl case, the outside antenna he was
using wasn't particularly high off the ground.

33 Good Morning Youngstown
Scheduled: A preview of the Second Annual Youngstown State Physics Olympics.
I remember they had this local AM news talk show until at least 1984 as when I was in the first
grade I went over and saw a live taping from there now defunct studios on Shady run Rd in
Youngstown.
Also around 1982 they added a local for the time newscast at 5:30 PM which featured jack
Marshall who would go on to WUAB Cleveland and Andrea Wood who along with her husband
would go on to create the business-journal in 1984. I also have a Tv guide which features an add

I remember that by 1982-1983? that WYTV was running the Flintstones at either 4:00 or 4:30
and I also remember them picking up reruns of happy days Again! as I have a TV Guide from
1983 stating that.

WEWS would have continued with the second-half of the Afternoon Exchange, leading into Merv
Griffin at 5PM.
Which, as it appears, was joined in progress after the Afterschool Special.
WAKR had a religious show at 4:30 (changes every day), and a different low-budget children's
show every weekday at 5 (Fridays it was Circle Square, Thursday it was Inside Track).
"Circle Square" and "Inside Track" were Christian shows for children, produced in Toronto by the
same people that produced the aforementioned "100 Huntley Street". The former had
practically been a mainstay on Global's schedule for many years.

Maybe either WNEO was not on the air yet, or they were showing in-school programming, thus
leading to WFMJ showing Sesame Street. The first scheduled 45/49 show this day was not until
3PM, with "Over Easy".
A similar location that I have seen numerous stations received was in west central Ohio. I was
visiting my former employer in Eaton, Ohio one summer evening and saw him pick up a station

Lessee, CK, my guess is that your ex-boss got the following on VHF:
2--WDTN, Dayton
3--either WAVE, Louisville, KY or WSAZ, Huntington, WV (outside shot at WKYC, Cleveland)
4--WTTV, Indianapolis or WCMH, Columbus
5--WLWT, Cincinnati
6--WRTV, Indianapolis or WSYX, Columbus
7--WHIO, Dayton
8--WISH, Indianapolis
9--WCPO, Cincinnati
10--WBNS, Columbus
11--WHAS, Louisville or perhaps WTOL, Toledo
12--WKRC, Cincinnati
13--WTHR, Indianapolis
As for UHF, he could have easily gotten WKEF in Dayton (22), WCET in Cincinnati (48), WPTD in
Dayton (16), WPTO in Oxford (14), WCET in Cincinnati (48), WXIX in Cincinnati (19), WSTR in
Cincinnati (64), WCVN in Covington, Kentucky (54), probably WLIO in Lima (35), and possibly
WOSU in Columbus (34). Outside possibilities would have included the UHFs in Indy and

Any speculation beyond that?

Mike -
Pretty good. I think you got almost all of them. I don't recall WLIO, Channel 35 in Lima, but based
on it being really not that far away, he probably could have gotten it. One that I believe he did
get which you didn't mention is WOWK, Channel 13 in Huntington, W.V. He did advise me that on
some mornings, he picked up Toledo although I don't recall him saying the channel number.
There were no Cleveland stations picked up and I don't remember seeing WOSU in Columbus
that evening.
Thanks.

I remember seeing "Good Morning Youngstown" (Gary Cubberly, Cindy Ikins-Always wondered if
they ever made it out of Youngstown) on occasion in the mid-late 70's when living with my sister
and her husband in Waynesburg Ohio.

Sadly he died of a heart attack in 1992?

I also remember a older lady Elaine who hosted cooking segments and I am now trying to
remember who was the voiceover guy in the 1970's thru early 1990's

"Forbidden." 1953 Hoodlum Tony Curtis and gangster's widow Joanne Dru are menaced by
That would have been the TV 27 Money Movie, a program I always liked to check out because
the numbers they called were chosen absolutely at random by a set of tumblers. The guy never
knew who or what he was going to be calling....often with hilarious results!
A few years earlier they were running an early afternoon movie as well, in lieu of the CBS
daytime lineup.

I do remember that as a child Mr Morgan had his picture placed on 5 dollar bills on money the
station made as promotions and to this day many over 80 years old in town think Rich Morgan is
on the 5 dollar bill.
That movie show concept was ironically brought back for at least one night a couple of years ago
on sister station MY-YTV (WYTV-33.2)as the prize move during a my network TV showing of the
1996 comedy Kingpin on a Thursday night at the movies. They were offering free bowling at a
local bowling alley.

After watching this program for two or three weeks I came to the conclusion that absolutely no
one
in Youngstown, Ohio had the slightest idea who was on the five-dollar bill!
Is Rich Morgan still around? Seems to me as recently as 4 or 5 years ago I heard him
doing a newsbreak on WKBN radio.

Please post listings for Sunday 3/30/1980.
Isn't this actually WJW & not WJKW as you have it listed here?
Cheers & 73 ;D
Between 1977 and 1985, Cleveland's Channel 8 had the WJKW call letters because its sister radio
station (at 850 AM) was sold-off, and radio retained the WJW calls. When 850 changed its calls in
the mid-80s, Channel 8 was able to get the WJW calls back, and remained in place ever since.
Here's the video package signaling the call letter change...

Good to know. As an analog station WKBN put quite a good signal into my house in Pittsburgh.
Not a prayer of receiving them now though.

Re: Retro: Winnipeg/Red River Valley Tues, Oct 15, 1963
In the early 1970's, KCND-12 went off the air and the owners of a new TV station in suburban
Winnipeg bought all of KCND's equipment (which reportedly was all less that three years old)
and moved it north to equip their new station, which ironically became CKND. I believe it's now a
Global affiliate.

I notice that CBC's airing of the Ed Sullivan show is 2 weeks late. And KVOS-TV isn't connected to
the CBS network(it airs everything on film).
KVOS had somewhat of a loose affiliation with CBS for years...they programmed themselves as
more of an indie for nearby Vancouver and Victoria across the 49th...

So did KVOS run all CBS delayed on film? What about WML, which ran at 7:30 (as did
KTNT) was probably "live from New York" as opposed to being on the left coast delay
(at 10:30, via kinescope from TV City, in this time before video tape).

Re: Hawaii, January 25-29, 1971
How much of a delay?
And, were the shows generally aired from 16mm film, or tapes of the network broadcast?

My guess is that by 1971, filmed programs on Hawaii TV stations were aired from 16mm film,
and taped programs from videotapes, both flown by the networks to Honolulu.
I also would think that some filmed/taped programs may have been seen in Hawaii a week after
they were seen on the mainland. But filmed/taped programs produced well before the date of
broadcast may have aired on the same day they were on the mainland.
Network newscasts airing at 12:30 or 1 A.M. were likely same-day, recorded in Los Angeles from
the first East Coast feed (6:30 P.M. Eastern time; 3:30 P.M. Pacific time; 1:30 Honolulu time) and
flown out to Honolulu. For example, 12:30 A.M. in Honolulu was (and I believe still is) 5:30 A.M.
Eastern Time, which gave ABC, CBS, and NBC ten-and-a-half to nine hours for getng the tapes to
LAX (Los Angeles International Airport), flown to Honolulu, unpacked at Honolulu International,
and driven by a courier (likely a station employee whose work day ended around 12 Midnight or
12:30 A.M. local time) to the station.
I would think that "Today", "Good Morning America", and "CBS Morning News" did not air in
Hawaii until the networks went to satellite distribution in the 1980's.

Well, there was one exception: Sports, via satellite. KHON carried Super Bowl V (Cowboys vs.
Colts) live on January 17, 1971 at 9AM. Other than that, most of the live events were on a
satellite same-day or one-day delay.
And yes, at the time, the Honolulu stations were on a one week delay. Some notable examples
involved the new shows that had debuted on the Mainland in January 1971:
"Masterpiece Theatre": Debuted January 10, 1971. (KHET: January 17)
"The Reel Game": Debuted January 18, 1971 (KHVH: January 25)
"Alias Smith and Jones": Debuted January 21, 1971 (KHVH: January 28)
"The Smith Family": Debuted January 20, 1971 (KHVH: January 27)
Also, KHON had two of NBC's Tuesday Night outings, "The Don Knotts Show" and "Julia," on
different nights (Knotts on Saturday, Julia on Friday). Both would be on its final days as they were
later cancelled that season.
As for "All In The Family," (Which had debuted on January 12, 1971), KGMB did not clear it until
later in the year.

...actually, the lengths should be reversed, as The Red Skelton Show ran only 30 minutes that
season and Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In was always a full hour when it was on NBC (only
appearing as a half-hour in syndicated edits). So Laugh-In actually strted at 7:00, rather than
7:30...
...has Hawaii always been primarily on a Central Time network pattern?...

Thanks for the correction on "Skelton" and "Laugh-In."
And yes, Hawaii has always followed the Central Time Zone pattern, with a few exceptions.

to 8:30 slot the previous week as "To Be Announced")]
I don't understand this one at all, ABC had the official contract to televise NBA games during this
time, how was an NBC affiliate allowed to do this.

We didnt get same-day network programmimg on all the network stations until I believe it was
1985. As I recall KHON (then NBC) was the first station to go same-day network programming.

station in that city that could explain the reason.

It's interesting to what lengths Hawaii and Alaska went to get network TV programming. I guess
to Hawaiians, it wasn't unusual to watch Cronkite, Huntley-Brinkley or ABC News as a midnight
show, if they were up at that hour.
Unfortunately, it also meant these TV schedules were pretty light on news. Each network station
did a half hour at 6pm (or 5:30pm) and 10pm newscast. And that was it. No noon news. No
morning news, not even inserts in Today, since Today didn't air in Hawaii. I noticed in the Sunday
schedule, one station did only news at 6 and one only did news at 10. The NBC station did no
news on Sunday.
I suppose it was different for radio stations. Affililiates of CBS, NBC, ABC and Mutual probably
could air their network's news on the hour. I believe KGU was an affiliate of NBC from at least the
40s.
I also noticed the post left by AJ McWhorter of the Honolulu Star Advertiser. That was the
newspaper that some think erroneously published Barack Obama's birth notice 50 years ago,
saying he was born in a Honolulu hospital when we all know he was really born in Kenya, or on
Mars or someplace else. So even if Hawaiians couldn't get live TV from the mainland, their
newspaper office could be fooled by a phone call from Africa, thinking it was a local call, or so
Donald Trump believes.
A few things, first off no tv station in the USA aired "Good Morning America", because it didnt
debut until 1975. CBS Mornings on the mainland usually were filled with Captain Kangaroo, but
in Hawaii "Checkers & Pogo" was the most popular kids show at the time. However Captain
Kangaroo did air on KGMB on occassion, but not every season was the show picked up. Same
with NBC's "Today Show", with Hugh Downs and Barbara Walters it aired in Hawaii at 7:00 AM in
1969 as I'm looking at actual local TV Guides from that timeframe right now. I can't recall
offhand when the "Today Show" was picked up on a permanent basis, I'm thinking in the 1973
timeframe perhaps? There were live local news cut ins back then (1968-1969) by Don Burns
(longtime DJ in Los Angeles), Ken Hiller or Charles Stubblefield.
As for NBC's "Huntley-Brinkley Report", that usually aired at 10:30pm following the local news
on KHON. Then at 11:00pm was "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson".
The major reason for the urgency as to get the national newscasts over to Hawaii on the same
day it aired on the mainland was so people could see the news that day. Day old news is not
something people generally want to see. It didnt matter back then if a network show was
delayed a week or two, but the news needed to be shown the same day.
Noon news was done in Hawaii on occassion during the 1950s and early 1960s, brought back
briefly during the mid 1980s and also I think in the 2004 timeframe.

AJ is actually right. "Today" showed up on KHON in 1973, but only shown one hour (which aired
at 8AM) instead of the two hours that aired in the mainland.

What I dont know is which hour was shown, the first or second or was it a highlighted package of
the two hours condensed into a one hour show.

...both KGU (NBC) and KGMB (CBS) made telephoned and shortwaved reports to their respective
networks on 7 December 1941, as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was still taking place...

I believe KGU and KGMB were the only two radio stations in Hawaii at the time; with KGU taking
some programs from both NBC Red and NBC Blue; KGMB perhaps also taking a few Mutual
shows in addition to CBS.
I would think that both KGU and KGMB (as well as stations in Alaska) received a few network
shows by shortwave radio feeds.
BTW, I have heard a recording of the KGU report, which got cut-off by an impatient phone
operator. A very dramatic soundbite.

It had to be from then-WOR-TV in New York, as they were the Knicks' OTA flagship at the time,
and they televised most Knicks road games. Most NBA teams during that time period didn't
televise home games unless they were on a national telecast, and I think even then, during ABC's
first NBA stint, home games were blacked-out in the home team's local market.

It looks like they had every Miami-Fort Lauderdale station listed, except for the then-NBC affiliate
WCKT (Channel 7).

Nowadays, most high-school football games are played on Friday nights.
Here in the Boston area, most games were on Saturday afternoons until the late 1980's; many
schools switched after seeing attendance at games nosedive after the 1984 Supreme Court
ruling that opened the way for unrestricted live TV coverage of college football games. Here in
Boston, there were suddenly a number of live telecasts of local and regional college football
games (especially Boston College and Harvard), which impacted attendance of high-school
games.
I point this out because I wonder if anyone in the area knows if the high-school games televised
on WCYB-5 and WJHL-11 were broadcast live, taped earlier that afternoon, or taped the night
before.

High-School Football Games telecast live in the 60's and 70's were pretty rare in many areas of
the country. WJAN-17 in Canton, Ohio usually ran football games at 10:30 on the night of the
games. WVIZ-Cleveland for many years had tape-delayed Northeast Ohio games (Unsually
Cleveland or close in suburban teams.)..The only game televised live has been the traditional
Massillon/Canton McKinley game (usually always a sellout)..WEWS-TV came down to televise the
game in the 1950's..WJAN and later WOAC-67 televised this game..

I believe the Massillon/McKinley football games have been played in three different centurys.
Great rivalry. Probably one of the oldest in high school football.

Re: Retro: North Carolina Tuesday, January 16, 1979
Correction: the program on Ch. 20 at 4:30 should be
"Superman And Friends." I assume these are from the
1960s animated series; TV Guide lists the program as
"cartoon" so I know it isn't the George Reeves series.

Why would a major network affiliate carry a church service in prime-time? If this was a special,
what's normally seen during this hour?
You got us there, azumanga. Seems like Sunday morning would be adequate, wouldn't it? Still, I
think several things should be considered to figure this one out:
1) Greenville-New Bern-Washington was, at least back then, a small market with a

predominantly rural population. Add to that the natural predilections of Southerners for religion
in their lives, and you have a built-in audience that would have been unimaginable elsewhere,
particularly in bigger cities.
2) Small stations like WITN tried to get revenue any way they could. Frequently, that meant
selling airtime to religious entities outside the Sunday morning "ghetto". We also must note that
channel 7's NBC affiliation was probably a big drag on the station at the time, with that network
approaching the absolute nadir of its history up to that point with basement ratings in almost all
dayparts, except for the Today Show, the Tonight Show, and Saturday Night Live. That meant
WITN's ratings sagged, meaning it couldn't charge advertisers a whole lot. I noted WITN had only
one non-news local production, the morning show "Almanac" at 6, by then, with no traditional
homemakers' or kiddie shows left, so in-station budget cuts were rather hard to find (as the early
Seventies probably saw the major round of them). And, of course, the wild inflation of the late
Seventies had its impact on profitability too.
3) Looking at the skeds of competitors WNCT and WCTI, one sees two then-hot game shows on
WNCT between 7 and 8, with "Sanford and Son" and apparently a checkerboard at 7:30 on
WCTI. Redd Foxx and co. were especially highly popular among the region's African-American
population, even some years after the original's cancellation on NBC. I imagine, again, whatever
WITN normally aired probably didn't compete well against any of that. Hopefully, bpatrick will fill
us in about the normal WITN sked during that period.
4) How soon we forget the popularity of the syndicated Billy Graham crusades during prime-time
back then. Also, especially in Southern markets, numerous other televangelists (e.g., Oral
Roberts, Jack Van Impe, Rex Humbard) also produced specials during the late 1970s. So religion
on prime-time was not as uncommon in that day as one might think.
That, my friend, is how a station manager would have thought about things. Go cheap and
please a church-going public. In some places, that was a winning formula.

During the late 60's and early 70's, the church that I grew up in broadcast their Sunday morning
services live on WBMG-42 in Birmingham, the CBS affiliate. When we had revival crusades with
guest evangelists, it wasn't that unusual for us to have one of the weeknight services televised
live on Channel 42.

At the time WITN carried "Hogan's Heroes" Mon-Fri 7 PM and
"checkerboarded" 7:30; "Name That Tune" was the regular
Tuesday show. What the occasion was for the church service
I have no idea, nor do I know specifically which church (beyond
its being Church of Christ) it was.

Just for the record, WITN's 7:30 programming at
the time consisted of:

MON Wild Kingdom
TUE $100,000 Name That Tune
WED Donna Fargo
THU That (Good Ole) Nashville Music (I'm not sure
if "Good Ole" had been dropped from the title;
TV Guide listed it as "That Nashville Music.")
FRI Marty Robbins' Spotlight
SAT Lawrence Welk (7-8 PM)
WCTI's 7:30 checkerboard was:
MON Bonkers! (the Hudson Brothers)
TUE Sha Na Na
WED Family Feud
THU Gong Show
FRI Muppet Show
SAT Wrestling (7-8 PM)
Dolly (Parton) aired on WNCT Sat 7 PM, followed by
Porter Wagoner at 7:30 ("Hee Haw" aired at 5).

The main ITV listings in my copy were Carlton/LWT and Anglia, with the other ITV stations listed
under "Regional Variations".

Re: Retro: London/Central & Southern England Sun, Jan 19, 1997
Within 5 or 6 years, all of those ITV stations would be showing pretty much the same output.
Also the 2 hour Sunday Morning religious slot on ITV didn't have long left. I think it was pulled
around 2000, and replaced with a 1 hour late night slot. Now it's gone altogether.
EDIT. And of course, the Fifth channel was a few months from launch at this point.

Little did anyone realize at the time, but January 15, 1967 would introduce to American culture a
momentous event: the first Super Bowl. And if you'd told people back then what the Super Bowl
would grow into - well, perhaps Pete Rozelle would have been the only person who wouldn't
have been surprised. Plus, the Harlem Globetrotters introduce basketball on an aircraft carrier -
45 years before it becomes the latest fad; Art Carney on the comeback trail; Sullivan vs. The
Palace, and more.

As always your comments, positive or negative, are most welcome.
And now the program listings from Monday, January 16, including those two great superhero
series, "Captain Nice" and "Mr. Terrific." Stations are from Minneapolis-St. Paul unless otherwise
noted.

Re: Retro: This Week in TV Guide, January 14, 1967 - MN State Edition
I got a copy of the Southern Alabama edition of this TV Guide recently. There was one station,
WRBL in Columbus, GA that was both a CBS and NBC affiliate. They took the CBS feed of the
game. I wonder if there were any other shared CBS/NBC affiliates that had to make the same
decision?
Being that I was 6-1/2 months old at the time I didn't watch the game, but I'm betng that if
anyone in my family did it was on CBS. New England was still pretty much Giants country at the
time - it took a long time for the Patriots to be accepted.

I'd love to see the listings from one of the days from that Southern Alabama edition if you get a
chance. Having grown up and still living in Birmingham, it would be interesting what was
happening in the south-central part of the state.

Amazing, WBZ didn't carry Huntley-Brinkley or Jack Paar! Must have been part of the bad blood
between Westinghouse and NBC.

They also didn't carry Meet the Press. WHDH had that until they switched to CBS, and then it
was run on WGBH as a public service for a few years.

"Tick Tac Dough", "It Could Be You",m and "Howard Miller" were NBC network programs likewise
not cleared by WBZ-4.
BTW, the other Group W station affiliated with NBC at the time (KYW-3, then in Cleveland)
likewise wasn't showing Paar.

I was up that day and saw the first WHDH test pattern as a boy of seven. I was amazed at all the
color programming that they were doing, even if it was just news and stuff like that. They were
years ahead of the other Boston stations. The sad part is that almost nothing in terms of film and
videotape from those early days of WHDH-TV channel 5 exists today. I have audio tape of a
special that channel 5 did on the day President Kennedy was assassinated, and anchored by Jack
Hynes and John Day. It included tape of a statement by Richard Cardinal Cushing and film of
reaction from throughout the city from politicians and everyday people. It's gone now...which is
too bad. Channel 5 also carried live, JFK's City on a Hill speech delivered to the Massachusetts
legislature days before his inaugural. Tape of that event can also not be found.

Interesting thread-----I checked the Boston Globe Archives---it said that the station began
operation at 6:40 PM that date. Don't look to the Globe for much more detail about Channel 5's
beginings; they were hardly thrilled about the new TV station in town.

Same can be said about all the Boston stations, sadly.
Boston suffers from having almost all of it's pre-1970's TV history missing.

At the time, WHDH-5 was a CBS affiliate, and given that it was in the late President's hometown,
I wonder if the program was fed to CBS and used as part of that network's coverage.
If it was, it likely was shown in color here in Boston, but in black-and-white across the rest of the
CBS-TV Network.

It is sad that so much of early Boston TV history is gone. The JFK Library has the City on a Hill
speech, but it is a film source, not a videotape or kinescope. On another thread some time ago, I
had asked if anyone had ever seen color video of JFK, and the answer was no from all
respondees. Sad, since Eisenhower was on color TV back in 58 when he helped dedicate the
color studios at WRC-TV. A month before Kennedy's death, the President spoke for the last time
in Boston at the Commonwealth Armory (I filmed his motorcade with my dad's 8mm camera on
Commonwealth Avenue in Back Bay). Again, no videotape of that event exists despite three
Boston network affiliates with the technical capability of doing a remote, even in those pre-
minicam days. Might the reason also be that the stations have changed ownership and
affiliations in the years since, and that any historical videotape might now be in private hands?

There are several reasons why stations did not keep a news or program archive:
1. Storage space. Film reels take a lot of room, and back in the early days (pre-ENG and
videotape) many news reports were produced with the picture on one film and the sound on
another, synched together for broadcast. That would mean double the space and the need for
detailed instructions to be kept for each report.
2. Early videotape was expensive so it would be reused. Stations might record their kids
programming in case they needed to rerun the show (if the host was on vacation or sick), but it
wasn't kept forever.
3. The chances any of the elements of live studio programming would be used again was
considered small.
From what I understand, according to an interview with Rex Trailer that I heard some years ago,
a one-hour reel of videotape weighed about 60 pounds and cost about $1000 (in 50's/60's
money). Was he accurate?

Not quite sixty pounds, but yes, two inch quad videotape was heavy and quite expensive, and
since many programs were telecast live, they were not recorded for later rebroadcast. Bt in the
cases such as the post Kennedy assassination Boston tributes and special events like that, you
would have hoped that they would have made an exception.

I guess we can be thankful that the networks taped their coverage of that weekend and the
funeral. I wonder how many already recorded programs "gave up their lives" for the tape that
weekend---or were the networks scrambling to purchase tape? That was quite an expensive
decision to make at that time, and I'm sure we're all glad they did it.

Two things here that don't add up:
There was no "East Central Pennsylvania" of TV Guide (just Central PA) and also, TVG never listed
Schoolhouse Rock in their listings, much less any shows that had a starting time of :26 after (they
only went by 5's and 0's).
Where did these listings really come from?

First thought was that Bex was probably quite a happy camper that day. With further
consideration I decided that Reagan was likely not conservative enough for Bex.

The Agency for Instructional Television / Technology, the producers of those programs, is based
in Bloomington, though operates independently of Indiana University (the owners of WTIU).
Also, "Thinkabout" was a double run (two 15-minute shows), while I imagine some filler followed
"Tradeoffs" (which is a 20-minute program), as both are in-school shows.

Did WBAK normally show ABC daytime and World News Tonight? Maybe they scheduled it as
they was, as the Terre Haute market also got sufficient ABC coverage from WRTV, WTVW
Evansville and WAND Decatur, depending on location, with most systems carrying WBAK and at
least one other ABC station.

WBAK didn't show World News Tonight for years, but normally carried ABC daytime programs. It
was in fact due to cable carriage of duplicate ABC affiliates that WBAK didn't clear some
programming. Heck, by the end of '81, their local newscast had been dropped and replaced by
syndicated programming.

Elizabethtown is fairly "eastward" in Kentucky, too. It is on eastern time. Personally, I think that
Kentuckians may be directionally challenged. After all, "Western" Kentucky University is in
Bowling Green. You can go about another 150 miles or so west from Bowling Green before you
would cross the Mississippi River into Missouri.
Meanwhile, the Paducah-Evansville market is a strange one. It is too far south for St. Louis, too
far north to be Memphis, and too far west to be Nashville. I grew up in Obion County, Tennessee,
and the Paducah-Evansville edition of TV Guide was the one sold there. Dyer County, the next
county to the south of us, received the Memphis edition, from what I understand. Needless to
say, we did not receive any of the Evansville stations. But we had Memphis and Nashville on
cable. But, hey, we're Tennesseans.
Newspapers were almost as strange. The Jackson Sun (Jackson, TN, newspaper) was sold in
Obion County, but Obion County was NOT in their official coverage area. Go figure.

So, I guess the only 2 channels in the Paducah-Evansville edition that one would receive in Obion
County would be WPSD and KFVS. I would think you would get WBBJ for ABC and WLJT for PBS.
It seems like when I stayed overnight in a motel in Union City back around 1991 that NBC was
WPSD, ABC was WBBJ and CBS was WTVF instead of KFVS.
Seems like there would be no edition of TV Guide that could be of much use in Northwest
Tennessee although I remember the Jackson Sun having a pretty good Sunday TV magazine in
those days.

I remember the Evansville station on Channel 7 had a very good over-the-air signal as far back as
1963. I recall picking it up in Columbia, Ky. which is in the south-central part of the state.

WTVF was indeed on the cable system there back then. Maybe still is.

Did the system get Channel 29's successor, WKPD?
Isn't that a PBS station? At any rate, I don't know. I moved away from there in '92, and we had
cable by then. We could get WDXR with just rabbit ears! ;D
WKPD is the KET outlet for paducah.
Yeah, I was thinking that it was educational television, hence my question. We got our PBS from
WLJT-TV, Lexington/Martin, TN. (Meanwhile, WKZT, which was the callsign of the radio station in
Fulton, KY, back when I worked there, is now the calls for a KET station in KY, as per earlier in this
thread.)
I remember the Evansville station on Channel 7 had a very good over-the-air signal as far back as
1963. I recall picking it up in Columbia, Ky. which is in the south-central part of the state.
Channel 7 in Evansville had such a good signal it was on Cardinal Cable system in Corydon,
Indiana, just 20 miles west of Louisville, KY in the 80s and 90s.

Was Channel 7 carried on the Corydon cable system because of its signal strength, or was it to
give subscribers an Indiana-centric newscast? Having lived in Louisville during the mid-80's, I
don't recall 3, 11 or 32 offering much Hoosier content in their newscasts unless it related to
either Jeffersonville or New Albany.

Re: Retro: Southern Alabama - Monday, January 16, 1967
Thanks for posting!
Am I the only one who noticed the irony that the only station scheduled to carry the
inauguration of Alabama Governor Lurleen Wallace (George's wife) was Channel 3 in Columbus,
GA? Of course, Columbus is just across the state line, and a significant part of it and Channel 9's
audience was and is located in east Alabama.

How come WSLA-8 started their day off at 1:30 PM completely shutng out all of the morning
programs on ABC? It also looks like that WSLA didn't have much of a news department only
showing local news in 10 minute intervals and also no 10:00 PM news either electing to show
what I presume to be either a film or a syndicated program.
If this was the case for weekdays, then what was it for weekends? Surely they didn't preempt the
cartoons and American Bandstand on Saturday if indeed their day started off like it was on
weekdays at 1:30 PM.

I saw a reference to Phyllis Diller's show; it had just moved to
Friday 8:30 PM (CT) on ABC, paired with Tim Conway's "F Troop"
clone (well, at least it's usually unfavorably compared to "F Troop"
even today) and flop, "Rango," as replacements for Milton Berle. In fact,
in overhauling its Friday lineup, ABC had replaced "12 O'Clock High"
with "The Avengers" at 9 (CT).
I was also surprised to see a station carrying the Pat O'Brien/Roger Perry
sitcom "Harrigan And Son," as I know of only one other station that was
showing it at the time: WNBE (now WCTI)/12 Greenville/New Bern/Washington,
NC. BTW, Roger Perry seems to have a taste for women with dingaling images;
he was married to Jo Anne Worley for many years and last I heard he was married
to Joyce Bulifant, one of the resident females with not-terribly-bright images (Pat
Deutsch is another who comes to mind) who occupied the chair to Richard Dawson's
right (and the viewer's left) on "Match Game."

For Saturday 1/14/67 the first show listed was 2:30p - Pro Bowlers Tour. Later that night they
aired The Hollywood Palace @ 8:30p, but it was a different episode than channels 9 and 32 ran
at the same time. WSLA had Bing Crosby hosting and Dorothy Collins, Charles Aznavour and the
Mills Brothers, Skitch Henderson, and Burns and Schreiber as guests, and no color denotation.
Channels 9 & 32 had Crosby hosting Senator Everett Dirksen (R-Ill) reading "The Gallant Men",
Jimmy Durante, Tim Conway (promoting "Rango"), Edie Adams and a pole climber, in color. The
last listing was a movie, "The Dude Goes West", @ 9:30p
On Sunday 1/15, WSLA signed on @ 1p with an NBA game between the Philadelphia 76ers and
Boston Celtics. The last program listed was the ABC Sunday Night Movie, "The V.I.P.s" starring
Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor @ 8p.

programs on ABC?
Maybe interference issues in the mornings? During its time as an ABC affiliate, WSLA got its feed
off-air from WBRC Birmingham.
I think it might be that WBRC didn't clear much of ABC's morning schedule in pattern. I can't find
a WBRC schedule for spring of 1967, but there's a posting of one from February of 1968.
WBRC ABC*
8:30 Love of Life (CBS db 11:00 AM) not on air yet
9:00 Dating Game (ABC db 10:30 AM) "
9:30 Secret Storm (CBS db 3:00 PM) "
10:00 Fugitive (ABC db noon?) "
10:30 " How's Your Mother In Law
11:00 Bewitched Bewitched
11:30 Mike Douglas Treasure Isle
12:00 " Fugitive
12:30 Treasure Isle (ABC db 11:30) "
1:00 Newlywed Game Newlywed Game
*Best I can determine from affiliates schedule.
I can only surmise that WBRC's '67 schedule was equally unpatterened.
WSEL would have had a lot more slots to fill during the daytime hour--especially if they weren't
equipped with a lot of videotape machines.
Here's the full '68 schedule that includes WBRC.

The WBRC factor could well be part of the reason, but I suspect the biggest would be WSLA's
ownership at the time. From what I've gathered about the first Channel 8, it was
little more than a means to an end for the Brennan family (which owned radio stations
WVOK/B'ham and WBAM/Mgm.). What they wanted was to move the station into
Montgomery, then "flip" it into a nice payday. Some of you know the story from
most angles, but the Brennans were thwarted by a brick wall called WCOV 20 ... in a combination
of the FCC aggressively pushing (and protecting) UHF, AND a Channel 20 exploiting that FCC
"bodyguard protection" to its fullest extent.
Programming on WSLA-TV was the bare required minimum, done on a frayed shoestring, and
out of a Jim Walter home (the garage was the news studio). But less than two
years later, said prefab home burned to the ground, leaving just the tower. At that
point, the Brennans realized it was fruitless to fight a (then-)losing battle with
WCOV. Instead of rebuilding, they turned in the license.
The whole story:
http://www.waka.com/inside-cbs8/history
PS - an amusing aside to receiving the Channel 6/Birmingham signal were those occasions when
conditions turned WSLA into a CBS affiliate: the channel 6 they'd receive was instead WCTV out
of Thomasville, Ga. (Tallahassee)!
I'm sure this has been discussed elsewhere, but it is new info to some -- and most of us have a
life, and don't have time to find haystack needles. :-)

Russell, it's true that most of us "have a life," indeed. That's why there are people like me who
don't, and who fritter away precious time exploring trivia like this (!!!)
Yeah, I've seen the WAKA rendition of the WSLA story, as well as the 1980 retrospective clip back
when the station was still in Selma and was chomping at the bit for a power increase, while
Charles Grisham, who founded Huntsville's WHNT (19) and Columbus, Georgia's WYEA (38, now
WLTZ), still ran things. One wonders what the FCC was thinking in the first place back in the
Fifties when it assigned channel 8 to Selma instead of Montgomery to start out with. The closest
stations on 8, to my determination, were the non-commercial station in Athens, Georgia (that
became WGTV, now part of GPB) and in New Orleans (first occupied by pubcaster WYES, later by
WVUE). I can't see that putng channel 8 in Montgomery would have made a lot of difference in
terms of buffering against outside signals. I suspect the U.S. senators from Alabama at the time
(Sparkman and Hill) and the congressman from that particular district had considerable pull on
the situation, and it is well known to historians of Alabama that the so-called "Black Belt" region
had a disproportionate influence on state politics (and, by extension, its congressional
delegation), with its old money and agricultural interests. Selma was the largest city in that part
of Alabama, so it was probably a political pay-off to prominent donors.
It always struck me that, before the 1968, WCOV was the main antagonist in the struggle against
WSLA's encroachment into the rest of Central Alabama, since WSLA was actually affiliated with
ABC, not CBS as WCOV was. (WKAB, now WNCF, on channel 32, was Montgomery's ABC, owned
by native Alabamian Cy Bahakel, who years later dropped 32 to buy channel 8 to move it to
Montgomery, in a highly ironic climax.) However, the fight took on more intensity when 8 came
back in 1973, this time with a primary CBS affiliation.
We also have to remember something else about the original WSLA: it broadcast in a region that
likely had one of the smallest percentages of set ownership in the country, given the area's
pervasive poverty (still the case today, in fact). Relatively few people watched (probably
predominantly better-off whites), and those few didn't have particularly high standards or
demands. Those few folks were probably pleased as punch just to have television, period, and
the Brennan family knew that. So the Brennans didn't have to do much to make money in that
situation, and as observed here, they didn't. During the five-year interregnum between '68 and
'73, things probably changed drastically, with more African-American (and poor white)
households having brought sets and the longer-term viewers turning mainly to the highly-
polished WSFA, which was the Goliath to everyone else's David. In short, more people began
tuning in, and they got more sophisticated, meaning that Grisham had to essentially build a new
station that had, unlike the original, local color, a professional news department, and some first-
run syndie shows in addition to local programming. There is no question that Grisham put a
whole lot more money into the '73-'85 incarnation of channel 8 than the Brennans would have
ever fooled with.
Also, unlike the Brennans, Grisham sat tight until the winds of political change came to the FCC,
and the agency began its long, steady course toward deregulation in the early Eighties. Thus, the
Feds finally turned a deaf ear to WCOV, and gave channel 8 the green light to crank up the power
on a new stick, enabling it to finally get a signal comparable to WSFA. Then Grisham unloaded
the station to Bahakel, who rechristened and built new Montgomery digs for it.
Backtracking to Grisham, he surely learned from the WLBT situation in Mississippi that he
couldn't censor national news coverage of civil rights and African-American affairs, something
that the original channel 8 did easily via snatching the WBRC signal. This was because of the
absence of ABC's nightly newscast, a plus to the almost-entirely segregationist audience of the
time. Also, there was no problem in running a stock film whenever ABC broadcast shows felt to
be offensive to Southern (chiefly, racial) mores. CBS, of course, wasn't going to allow that, and
Grisham himself had cleared almost all CBS programming on his Huntsville station anyway since
its 1963 launch. The winds of change also made themselves felt in the hiring of a black
sportscaster for the '73 re-start.
Channel 8 is thus one of the surprisingly richest stories that I have encountered for a U.S.
commercial TV station. I really can't think of anything comparable to it.

I had no idea that WSLA's history was so complicated. I thought it was just another ABC affiliate
run on a shoestring, like WMUR or WTEV/WLNE. I also wondered when I was posting from this
particular TV Guide how the Civil Rights movement impacted what was seen.
No Mobile stations listed?
No, sir, Mobile and Pensacola (namely, WEAR-TV, channel 3) were carried in the so-called Gulf
Coast edition, which included (I think) Dothan-Panama City (WTVY, WJHG, overlap with South
Alabama edition), Mobile-Pensacola (WEAR, WKRG, WALA), Hatesburg (WDAM) and Biloxi
(WLOX) in Mississippi, and the New Orleans Vs (WWL, WDSU, WVUE and maybe WYES). Keep in
mind, though, that public outlets in Pensacola (WSRE) and Mississippi (WMAH) had not started
up yet at the time of publication.
The areas covered were basically the counties in northwestern Florida, the extreme
southwestern corner of Alabama, and the southernmost counties of Mississippi.

There was probably a reason for this segment airing when it did: As of mid-January, 1967, the
first manned flight of the Apollo command module (an eleven-day earth orbital shakedown
cruise to have been flown by Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee) was to have been
launched in mid-to-late-February, about five weeks hence.
If it and other Apollo missions had gone off without a hitch, the original early 1967 schedule
would have had two astronauts landing on the moon around Christmas of that year, which
would have been two years ahead of the late President Kennedy's end-of-the-decade deadline.
But just eleven days later, Grissom, White, and Chaffee were killed when a flash fire consumed
the interior of their command module on the launch pad during a countdown rehearsal.
Of course, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon July 20th, 1969, a little more
than five months before JFK's deadline. Had the Apollo 1 tragedy not happened, there may have
been five manned lunar landings by July of 1969, the first, as noted above, would have been at
the end of 1967.
No - not in that particular edition.
BTW, Roger Perry seems to have a taste for women with dingaling images;
he was married to Jo Anne Worley for many years and last I heard he was married
to Joyce Bulifant, one of the resident females with not-terribly-bright images (Pat
Deutsch is another who comes to mind) who occupied the chair to Richard Dawson's

...Pat Deutch did not have a "not-terribly-bright image" on Match Game '7x; to the contrary,
Deutch's responses were invariably thought of as "too smart for the room." Perhaps you're
thinking of Sarah Kennedy ;D ...

Did WSLA get any resistance from moving into Montgomery from WSFA/12? Back then, stations
could challenge other stations before the FCC if the call letters were similar.

The main opposition came from WCOV and WKAB, with lesser opposition from WBMG (now
WIAT) in Birmingham and WCFT in Tuscaloosa. There is quite the detailed history of Channel 8's
early day struggles in this Wikipedia article:

WSLA stood for We're SeLmA
WAKA stands for We Are Kicking A-- (At the time of the change WCOV's and WKAB's That Is!)
The calls were changed to keep from being confused with WSFA in Montgomery and to show
WCOV and WKAB that you're days of holding us back are now over.
I remember very well when the power was increased at Channel 8.
That was a happy time for us poor folks here in Selma.
This TV station was about to go under.
The power increased saved their bacon.

I remember a couple of things about this compilation of these shows:
1. Some of the songs featured in 'Super Mario Bros. 3' were replaced by that annoying guitar riff!
2. WGN from Chicago (at least the cable channel) also aired VGM
Retro TV Election Night Coverage
A companion to my earlier post on the Classic Radio board:
NBC, oddly enough, did not go with wall-to-wall Presidential election-night coverage on TV until
1960, when it did so starting at 7:30 P.M. EST (and in later years, starting at 7 EST).
In 1948 and 1952, NBC-TV coverage did not start until 9 EST (so Milton Berle could be seen), and
in 1956, the coverage didn't start until 8:30 EST.
On the other hand, back then, few results may have been in that soon.

Re: Retro TV Election Night Coverage
...one tradition that was kinda fun was when NBC's Tom Pett would make reports while at the
bar at Serb Hall in Milwaukee. That was at least from 1964 to 1980. I suspect Rachel Maddow
would like to revive that little tradition (if in fact she even knows about it) ;D ...

Um...what about CBS (their first Presidential election night was in 1952 (Walter Cronkite would
anchor every one until 1980) and their use of the UNIVAC computer)???
ABC had a very skeletal news department back then; 1956 or 1960 may have been their first
election.

Just as a sidebar, the first presidential election coverage that was broadcast entirely in color on
all three networks was in 1968. The first inauguration to be shown entirely in color was LBJ's in
1965, but only on NBC. NBC also showed the inaugural parade portion of JFK's inaugural in color
back in 1961. Unfortunately, the videtape of that 1961 broadcast was reused almost
immediately, according to Reuven Frank.

I was a little tyke then, but I thought the opening of NBC's 1964 Election Night coverage (which I
believe I saw) had the animated peacock, and a voice-over saying that "Those portions of this
NBC News Special Report originating from our New York Election Central and the Johnson and
Goldwater Headquarters are in Living Color", which would mean that the studio segments and
the remotes from the Johnson and Goldwater headquarters would have been in color, with
other remote segments in black-and-white.
I do know that all three networks originated the studio portions (and some remote segments) of
their 1966 midterm election coverage in color; however, I think NBC also did much of their 1964
Election Night in color.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

As for their election titles:
CBS started using "Campaign" in 1964 for every one except 1972.
Also in '72, NBC began using "Decision" for their elections; the Henry Mancini theme would
follow from 1976-92.
ABC called theirs "The (insert year) Vote" from 1978-2002, followed by "Vote 2004" (2004),
"Vote '08" (2008), and "Your Voice, Your Vote" (2012, which sounded stupid).
The electoral map came into play in 1976, with Republicans blue and Democrats red...well, at
least according to NBC. But starting in 1980 and ABC's coverage, it would be the other way
around (yellow for Independent candidate John Anderson) and by 1984, the other networks
would follow suit.
ABC's 1980 election I believe was also the first to display their totals on LED, which were very,
very new at the time.

As for their election titles:
CBS started using "Campaign" in 1964 for every one except 1972.
Also in '72, NBC began using "Decision" for their elections; the Henry Mancini theme would
follow from 1976-92.
ABC called theirs "The (insert year) Vote" from 1978-2002, followed by "Vote 2004" (2004),
"Vote '08" (2008), and "Your Voice, Your Vote" (2012, which sounded stupid).
Not as stupid as the Hearst stations' "Commitment [year]" which they've been using for several
years. Commitment of what?!?
ixnay
I think they were meaning to make our commitment to vote.
Agreed. It still sounds corny to me though. But I admit "Choose Your Windbag" would've been
far worse. : ;D
I never liked "The [Year] Vote" too much, either. OTOH ABC in 1976 used "Political Spirit of '76" in
the Bicen year, which I liked. That same year, NBC's "Decision '76" logo was a play on the
Bennington flag. Do a Wiki.

ABC called theirs "The (insert year) Vote" from 1978-2002,...
In 2000, the onscreen and on-set title was actually "ABC 2000 The Vote." However, the
announcer still referred to it as "The 2000 Vote."

...With CBS and ABC to follow suit in 1969 and Richard Nixon's inauguration.

NBC, oddly enough, did not go with wall-to-wall Presidential election-night coverage on TV until
1960, when it did so starting at 7:30 P.M. EST (and in later years, starting at 7 EST).
...and, of course, NBC didn't call that 1960 election for Jack Kennedy until (IIRC) 7:23 AM Eastern
Time the following morning. That meant that, at 7:00 AM, Dave Garroway, Frank Blair and Jack
Lescoulie of Today sat in with Chet Huntley and David Brinkley at the election night anchor
desk...

As I remember, these many decades later, that was when NBC declared JFK had won California
and that state's electoral votes which put him over the top.

The earliest call ever was in 1980, when at 8:15 pm Eastern Time, the networks projected that
Ronald Reagan will have won enough states to put him over the top against incumbent Jimmy
Carter...while polls were still open in half of the country!!!!!

And 4 years later, CBS made the call for Reagan over Mondale at 8:00PM, Followed by NBC and
ABC within minutes.

1:00 Brain Game: Greenfield Central takes on Lawrence Central
Under the direction of the late Glenn "Doc" Barrett, Greenfield-Central High School had a
consistently strong Brain Game team through the mid and late 70s and into the 80s.
Of course, we sucked sewer gas at most sports. Though Bob Caldwell had the Girls Basketball
team fighting for state championships in those days. And Bob Miller's golf teams were always
strong. (By the way, both Miller and Caldwell were one time play-by-play announcers on the old
WSMJ. Have to somehow keep it pertaining to radio.)
There's always a balance. We Hancock County farm boys were brains, not athletes. God love us!

I'll let you guess which Midwestern scheduling heresy was committed by two Indy network
affiliates on this date. ;D Hint: the two shows scheduled against each other in the same time slot
would have attracted similar audiences.

I don't believe it's a heresy, as many markets had them competing with each other.
In fact, even Roy Clark made light of it in his 1972 country hit:

Re: Retro: This Week in TV Guide, January 18, 1969 - Philly Edition
I take it TV 6 preempted The Newlywed Game that day. Considering it was a top rated daytime
show, many people weren't happy about that.

I find it hard to believe KYW-TV was still doing local programming of any kind in black-and-white
in '69.

Many of the syndicated programs on WKBS-48 were also seen on Kaiser Broadcasting sister
station WKBG-56 here in Boston at that time.
In fact, the prime-time lineup between 7:30 and 10 P.M. that night on WKBS and WKBG were
exactly the same, both in terms of what programs were shown and the order they were shown
in.
I suspect "Truth Or Consequences", "Pay Cards" and "Donald O'Connor" were purchased by most
of the Kaiser stations (with the likely exception of KBSC-52 in Los Angeles; that station being run
"on the cheap") and may in fact have run from 7:30 to 10 P.M. local on the Kaiser stations (again
excluding KBSC) in the same order they ran on WKBS and WKBG.
WKBS had already launched a 10 P.M. local newscast (WKBG would do so at the end of 1969). In
the case of WKBG, the newscast was cancelled (and the news department shut down) at the end
of 1970; I think Kaiser pulled the plug on all it's local newscasts around that time.
Could the 12 Midnight news on WKBS have been a repeat of the newscast broadcast live at 10
P.M.??

Kaiser's WKBF-61 in Cleveland aired Pay Cards and Donald O' Connor but not Truth Or
Consequences, which was in the middle of an 8-year run weeknights at 7PM on Storer's WJW-TV

Honeymooners on WIBF 29???? Does not sound right. I always thought WKBS TV Channel 48 had
Honeymooners from their sign on till they went dark. I may be wrong but I know by 1972 WKBS
had them and I swear they had them in the mid 60's...Maybe they moved to 29 for several years.
Interestiung that Channel 17 had Gilligan originally as well. That moved to Channel 48 in 1971
and to Channel 29 in 1976. So that was on all 3 stations one time or another. Also Gilligan's
Island was originally on in New York City on WOR TV. It moved to WPIX in 71 the same time it
moved to 48. Gilligan in New York went to Channel 5 WNEW TV in 1978. SO that show was
known to change hands in most markets a few times.

Re: Retro: North Carolina Sunday, January 27, 1957
I do have TV Guides from later in 1957 that list a CBS newscast after "What's My Line?" anchored
by Walter Cronkite. Both WHDH Boston and WHCT Hartford cleared it, so it's possible that it is a

KHON-2 had no Saturday newscasts at all in 1971.

I also would think that the KHVH-4 and KGMB-9 early-evening newscasts consisted merely of an
anchor reading news into a camera. Probably no newsfilm at all on most weekends.

This represents one Saturday in 1971, there could have been weekend newscasts later in the
year. I thought Judd Hambrick did weekend news in addition to his weekday anchoring with Bob
Basso. But I can't recall this offhand. I think by 1973 there were weekend newscasts on KHON.
The KHON news as it is now known didnt start until June 1965. What happened news related in
the previous 14 years? For several years it was KONA on Channel 11, Webley Edwards (Hawaii
Calls) was the first news anchor for the station. I believe in 1964 there was no local news
whatsoever on Channel 2 save for the occasional NBC news, the station was sold in 1965 and
became KHON and they then had began to finally have a real news department.

Off-topic, then back on: does anyone know the name Danny Kaleikini (sp?)?
I think he hosted KHON's weekend daytime movies but I would like to know
more about him.
Back to the subject of local news, I think Pacific and Southern (later bought
by Combined Communications, then by Gannett) was a Honolulu-based company;
I bring this up because it owned Ch. 11 in Atlanta when it was WQXI, and I seem
to recall one of its g.m.'s, George Hagar, being transferred from Atlanta to Honolulu.
It was while P&S still owned what we now know as 11 Alive that John Tyler was brought
in from Amarillo (1972) and that station also began to have a real news operation including,
as I mentioned elsewhere, noon newscasts on weekends, the first station in Atlanta to do so.

Couple things, Danny Kaleikini has been a longtime Hawaii entertainer, performed at the Kahala
Hilton for over 20 years, has acted in
the original Hawaii 5-0, and is the official state Ambassador of Aloha. I have some of his old
KHON hosted movies on beta. As for George Hagar yes he was GM at KHON for many years. Both
happen to be friends of mine.

Re: Retro: Carolina-Tennessee Sun, June 23, 1974
I might throw in that "Who, What, Where, When" (12:30 PM on WLOS)
is not to be confused with the game show "Who, What Or Where," which
NBC had canceled in January 1974. It was a public-affairs show, but with
the similarity in titles, and the fact that probably most of you never heard
of WLOS's program, I should straighten that out.

Re: Retro: Maine (Monday, May 11, 1981)
My guess is that Bud Greenspan was on "John Davidson" to plug a documentary film about the
1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid he had made (because the U.S,. boycotted the Summer
Games in Moscow, I don't know if Greenspan even bothered making a film about the Moscow
Games), given that for years, Greenspan produced award-winning films documenting each
Olympics.
I believe his final one was about the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, which I believe he
finished shortly before his death.

Note the limited amount of news each network station did in those days. WLBZ 2 and WCSH 6
both did 25 minutes of news before the Today show began, possibly a simulcast. WMTW 8 did 15
minutes of news before GMA. And no news in the morning for the other network affiliates.
No news at noon either. I guess it wouldn't be too long that WLBZ & WCSH started doing news at
noon everyday, including weekends. They only dropped the weekend noon news a year or two
ago.
And only a half hour at 6. Now it's pretty standard for all network affiliates to do 90 minutes at
5pm, except for WMTW, because they run Dr. Phil at 5pm. When Oprah was still on weekdays,
they couldn't run Dr. Phil earlier because Oprah didn't want his show, which she owns, to
compete with her own.
Even though they have a competitive news department with WCSH and WGME, WMTW still only
does 30 minutes at 6pm and no noon news. On the other hand, their weekend morning news
starts at 5am. I don't know of any station in the U.S. that starts their weekend morning news at
5.
I also find it amusing that, in 1981, the only UHF station in Maine is PBS 26 in Biddeford, part of
Maine Public Broadcasting. And these were the days when WCBB 10 Augusta was separately
programmed from the other PBS stations in the state.

Interesting that all the ABC and CBS affiliates in Ft. Myers/Naples,
Miami, and Tampa/St. Petersburg were listed, but NBC in Miami was not. Why
didn't any cable system carry WSVN?

For quite a few years now, so many people even in urban areas receive TV via cable. That's even
noted here with the various cable companies covering this section of Florida. As with some other
areas, I've always wondered how TV DX'ing might have been in different parts of that state in
years past given what I understand is the fairly flat terrain. Just thinking of a fairly good TV with a
fringe (or deep-fringe) antenna and rotor. Just wondered if there might be anyone from years
past who tried it there.

I lived in Tampa in the '70s and had absolutely no luck
picking up Orlando or Sarasota (or anything else outside
the Bay Area). OTOH, I've also lived in higher elevations
(Birmingham and Greenville, SC) and have had very good
luck bringing in out-of-market stations (in the mornings
in Greenville I could get WGTV Athens, GA; WSOC Charlotte;
WIS Columbia, SC; WXIA Atlanta; and WRDW Augusta, GA;
in Birmingham I could routinely get WXIA and--depending on
intangibles--either WRBL Columbus, GA or WEAR Pensacola, FL,
both of which are analog Ch. 3).

Where Sarasota is concerned, channel 40 was always a regular tune-in in Pinellas County, at least
in the Clearwater area -- wasn't as clear as a local, but as clear as the local UHF stations were.
Don't know about the Fort Myers channels, as our antennas were always pointed towards
Holiday (channel 10 and WCLF 22) or Riverview (everyone else), though they were a regular DX
catch.

I lived in Hillsborough County so I don't know if 40's

signal got that far; I never picked it up and
had enough trouble getng a viewable picture on 44.
Another area where I've lived that's reasonably flat
is Dallas/Fort Worth; specifically, I lived in Plano (Collin
County) but the only stations from outside the Metroplex
I could pick up were KXII/12 Ada/Ardmore, OK, and KSWO/7
Wichita Falls, TX/Lawton, OK.

With regards to DX'ing in Florida, I have wondered about a location in the south-central part of
the state (although that might wind up being in the Everglades). That would be a distance from
Tampa and St. Petersburg as well as Miami and Fort Lauderdale. I thought you might also have a
shot at a Cuban station or two.

Eventually, the Fort Myers UHF stations started refering to themselves ONLY with their cable dial
positions. WBBH 20 calls itself "NBC 4." Same for the Fort Myers-Naples ABC and Fox stations,
although in 1977, the Fox station isn't even on the air yet.
I wonder how long it took for this practice to start, when cable penetration in SW Florida
reached the point where it made more sense to use your cable position instead of your UHF
channel. And did TV Guide and other TV listings pick this up, or did you have to wade through all
the Tampa and Miami VHF station listings before you could figure out what your local NBC and
ABC stations were doing?
Of course, WINK-TV, having the only VHF station, must have had a big lead originally, when UHF
stations were much harder to pick up and many analog tuners required you to click 15 times to
get from CBS shows on 11 to ABC shows on 26.
It's interesting that WEDU-3 in Tampa Bay broadcast an episode of "Nova" on which the idea of
the earth's climate getng colder because of a lack of sunspots was being discussed!
???
Of course, the Winter of 1976-77 was unusually cold in much of the United States. This episode
of "Nova" may have been rushed into production because of the cold waves; it's my
understanding that there were some frosts that Winter in southern Florida and even in parts of
the Caribbean!
I also recall that perhaps a year later, the syndicated "In Seartch Of..." (narrated by Leonard
Nimoy) did an episode about whether the earth was about to plunge into another ice age, and in
fact, there was much talk then as to whether the earth's climate was indeed cooling.

Actually, they're "NBC 2", as they are on Cable 2 on most systems. (WFTX is "Fox 4".)
Of course, WINK-TV, having the only VHF station, must have had a big lead originally, when UHF
stations were much harder to pick up and many analog tuners required you to click 15 times to
get from CBS shows on 11 to ABC shows on 26.
Not necessarily -- most sets had two separate dials, one for VHF and one for UHF. To tune in a
UHF channel, you would turn the VHF dial to "U" or "UHF", then change the UHF dial. Most
often, the switch from 11 to 26 would only be two clicks away (if you left the UHF on 26 from last
time), or a total of eight clicks (11 to "U", then 20 to 26). If you live in Sarasota County and you
watch 40 or 44, in addition to the Fort Myers channels, that's where you need to do alot of
clicking.

The practice of using cable placement channels started in the 90's.
As EJ204 stated, WBBH is on cable 2.

Really? No KLTV/7 from Tyler? At one time they were semi-reliable in the metro if you had a
good outdoor antenna. Maybe it was before they moved their tower from Tyler to Big Sandy.

The Alexander the Great pilot is available from Amazon. Anything with Shatner in it seems to sell
these days.

Small point - the NHL is no longer on ESPN (and hasn't been there in a while). They've been with
OLN/Versus/NBC Sports Network for a while.

You're right, of course - the reference (perhaps poorly worded) was specifically to ESPN and
college basketball, and "the rest" out there; not necessarily on ESPN, but more in the line of
saturation coverage.
Thanks for the note on "Alexander" - incredible what kind of shows are on DVD today!

ABC finally got around to showing the "Alexander the Great" pilot
on its Disney ripoff "Off To See The Wizard" on January 26, 1968.
Besides Joseph Cotten, John Cassavetes appeared in that episode;
Adam West played Alexander's sidekick Cleander (like his being Robin
to someone else's Batman). The show was full of corny dialogue like
this one from Alexander: "If they've slaughtered Cleander, I'll teach them!"
TV Guide once put it on its list of the 50 worst shows ever.

Although there was a broadcast satellite in early 1964 (Relay I), it was not in geostationary orbit,
so it could only be used a few minutes at a time.
ABC's plans for the 1964 Winter Olympics were to use the satellite to feed about 15 minutes of
each day's coverage (with any U.S. medal-winning performances taking precedence), but to fly
tapes across the Atlantic for the rest of the broadcasts.
But since most Winter Olympic events back then were held in the morning (local time in
Innsbruck, Austria), ABC was able to shoot, edit and fly the tapes back to North America (either
Newfoundland of New York) in-time for all but a handful of events to be broadcast the same day
they took place.
I believe the closing ceremony aired at 11:15 P.M. EST since that was the only way to get the
tape of it broadcast on a same day basis.

How did these frontier stations handle the CBC National News?
I'm sure it was not put on a kinescope and shipped out with the other programming
two weeks late.
Not sure how they managed that one...but you'll notice that on CBWBT the news was only 10
min, but on the southern stations with the network feed it was 15 min... ;D The delays also
depended on location-larger centers were only a week behind, but smaller communities could
be up to a month behind the network, due to the bicycle system in relaying the tapes..
You can find a bit more detail as to how FCP worked here:

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Thurs, Oct 17, 1963
I can't find who was anchoring Ch. 2's 11 PM news at the time,
but a year later Fred Briggs was the anchor; Ray Moore was
doing only the 6 PM news; Hal Suit was the noon anchor.
And as for Ch. 11 airing "I Love Lucy" reruns in the morning,
yes, they were on CBS at the time; 11 picked up an occasional
CBS program pre-empted on WAGA (11 had Walter Cronkite at
one time when 5 pre-empted him in favor of "Amos 'n' Andy").

Another ABC affiliate that picked up programs not cleared by the local CBS affiliate was WSIX-8 in
Nashville (now WKRN-2). I remember that they carried the 9-10 a.m. sitcom reruns that weren't
carried on WLAC-5 (now WTVF).

Much thanks for posting this!
Includes two sets of channels from two spots I lived (Harrisburg and Scranton's TV stations) so it
was interesting to see what syndicated fare aired at the time. The first time I came across
channel 16 in 1982 they had the "Dialing for Dollars" movie from 4-6..Interesting to see at this
point it was only 4:30-6..

I don't think any NYC big-three station did until CBS gave the 4 pm slot to local affiliates...as for
the last several years, channel 2 aired the 4 pm show at noon. However, I think by sometime in
the early 80s, channel 9 aired news at noon...I'm sure someone who lived in the NYC market
during that time period will keep me honest...

Of course not, Joe. WCBS, WNBC, and WABC were all O&Os, and, by their nature, they no choice
but to clear the network feed as it came out the pipeline, so to speak, so they couldn't run
newscasts at Noon sharp. Back then, CBS and NBC had their affil breaks at 1, while ABC ran
straight from 11:30 to 4:30 without one, because of the late start-up time for the day.
Let's break things down: the Jack Narz "Concentration" on WNBC was licensed to Goodson-
Todman by NBC, so that meant that WNBC at least would have to carry it (dunno about KNBC
Los Angeles, WMAQ Chicago, WRC Washington, or WKYC Cleveland, the other O&Os) on the
sked at some slot--the only other possibility would have been 9:30 a.m., where the Bob Barker
"Truth or Consequences" was still hobbling along. As for "What's My Line?" on WCBS, that show
likewise had a deep connection with CBS, as we know. I doubt either was competitive in NYC
with "All My Children" on WABC, but remember, this was the Seventies, and even network O&Os
were under pressure due to the national recession to keep costs down. That's the main reason
why no local news ran on either station at 1.
We must remember that people were not as news-crazy then as we, their children's generation,
are. Even though Watergate was going on at the time (and NYC was falling apart in terms of
crime and the economy), most people got their news on radio (WCBS' radio sister was a splendid
source, as was WINS) during the daytime or waited for the afternoon newspaper or evening
news. Local stations didn't feel the pressure they do now to stay up with the likes of the Chicken
Noodle Network, Little Miss Foxy, and the Must See Nothing Broadcasting Company--all that was
years away. And when these said stations were the flagships of their networks, they sure would
have looked foolish to the brass upstairs taking a high-cost risk like a midday newscast. Above all,
life was just slower-paced then ("no duh!"), with most people much more able to delay
gratification than is even possible these days.
To me, the expansion of local news is more a sign of the declining importance of local television,
not a sign of strength or "community commitment," whatever you want to call it. For me, I know
that if I had been living in NYC at the time, I would have much preferred to see "WML?" or
"Concentration" at 1 instead of news.

I can tell you precisely when WABC added noon news - it was when they stopped programming
the noon slot. When "Home" went back from 90 to 60 minutes in August 1992 is when WABC
started programming news at noon.

The August 7th, 1995 affiliation swap between WLNE-6 and WPRI-12 basically reversed a swap
that took place between WLNE (then WTEV) and WPRI in 1977.
BTW, this Monday night (December 31st) at 12 Midnight is the 50th anniversary of WTEV/WLNE.
It's first broadcast began as 1963 got underway.

As in, the listings for
Sunday, August 6, 1995
and
Monday, August 7, 1995
BTW, I'm speaking to Joseph_Gallant
Ah....WTEV/WLNE....A history of 50 years of disappointment, mediocrity, frustration, failure, and

abysmal ratings!
Yet...Channel 6 holds a place in the hearts of so many in Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode
Island. A group of former employees of WTEV/WLNE have even set up thier own nostalgic web
site dedicated to the little station that couldn't.......and still can't! ;D
http://chef.menujoy.com/wtev/index.htm
Dighton Rockhead, Do you have any TV Guides from Boston/Providence/New Hampshire from
August 1995,
because I want to see listings for 8/6/95 & 8/7/95!
I don't have any TV listings for August 6th and 7th, 1995 for Providence.
Sorry.
Oh, that's Okay! But I did remember the affiliation switch for WPRI and WLNE in the years of
1977 and 1995.

I saw a tape of the WTEV sign-on at an exhibition of Rhode Island television about ten years ago.
I searched for it on line but found nothing. I've been looking for the Eastern New England edition
of TV Guide for their initial sign-on but haven't had any luck so far.
You mean the Eastern New England edition of TV Guide
for December 29, 1962 - January 4, 1963?
Yes, with Edie Adams on the cover. I've found it for other editions (Philadelphia, New York, St.
Louis) but not Eastern New England.
I don't have a big TV Guide and newspaper listing collection, but I do have the sign-on listings for
WTIC and the original WHDH (1957), WKBG (1966) and WSMW (1970). I still look and if I find
them at a decent price I buy them.
I would love to see the sign on listings for
WTIC-TV 3 (now WFSB-TV CBS3) (Saturday, September 21, 1957)
WHDH-TV ABC5 (now WCVB-TV ABC5) (Tuesday, November 26, 1957)
WKBG-TV 56 (now WLVI-TV CW56) (sometime in 1966)
WSMW-TV 27 (now WUNI-TV Univision27) (early-January 1970)
and, I'll go with that!
BTW, I'm not sure if you have the sign-on listings for
WTIC-TV 61 (now a Fox affiliate) (Monday, September 17, 1984)

FYI:
WKBG-56 (now WLVI) first signed-on December 20th, 1966 (they were supposed to sign-on the
night before, but ran into technical difficulties).
WSMW-27 (now WUNI) first went on the air on January 2nd, 1970.

weekends 11:30p-2a or so.

You mean Channel 28 in Providence was WLWC?

Do you have the sign-on listings for WLWC?
Which might mean the TV Guide - Providence Edition
from the week of April 12 - 18, 1997?

WLWC channel 28 was run as an LMA of WJAR when it first signed on and was a primary
WB/secondary UPN affiliate. When WLWC was purchased by Viacom the affiliation switched to
primary UPN/secondary WB. I don't have any late 90s TV Guides so I don't have their sign-on
listings.
That sounds similar to something in New Haven. When WB started in 1995, WTNH-TV (ABC)
channel 8 of New Haven carried the early 2 hour block on Saturdays at 11:30 PM ET. WTVU-TV
channel 59 of New Haven signed on a couple of months later. The WB program block was moved
there. They would then up their power and change their call letter to WBNE-TV (Warner
Brothers New England). Today they're WCTX-TV (MY) and are the sister station of WTNH-TV.
Do you have the TV Guide - Hartford edition
for the Week of December 30, 2000 - January 5, 2001?
Which was when WBNE WB 59 became WCTX UPN 59, and WTXX UPN 20 became WTXX WB 20.

No, I don't have any of the Hartford/New Haven Editions...or any editions anymore. At one point,
I had a stack of nearly every "Channels Listed In..." page and cable charts (such as the Boston
Edition) from around the country.
I don't recall 12 being a secondary WB affiliate....
Sister, Sister was on ABC first then when ABC cancelled it The WB picked it up. The WB did not
exist until later in January 1995.
Do you have any TV Guide editions for Providence for the weeks of
March 26 - April 1, 1994
Which was the week where Sister, Sister premiered on ABC? (WPRI)
and
September 2 - 8, 1995
Which was the week where Sister, Sister aired on the WB? (WJAR)
Retro: Central PA, Sun. March 17th, 1974 (St. Patrick's Day)

I don't think CBS carried pro soccer in 1968, and I suspect that the soccer game between the
Boston Beacons and Baltimore Bays was produced by WSBK-38 and regionally syndicated
through parts of New England.
I thought that WSBK had carried a handful of Beacons' games in the late 1960's, so this may have
been a WSBK production.

Re: Retro: Buffalo Sat, Mar 2, 1985
Looks like "International 10" served to pick up network shows the local affiliates passed on. Did
they do it on weekdays as well? Do you know what stations they used to pick up those shows?

uncleared network shows via stations in Detroit and Grand Rapids.

I think Erie more than Rochester, generally. For whatever reason, the Rochester stations never
had any cable coverage in Buffalo, even though we in Rochester got all of the Buffalo "big 3"
right through most of the 1980s. I remember when WKBW would sign off at night and our cable
system in suburban Rochester would end up with a weak signal of WWNY-7 from Watertown off
the back of their receive antenna.
they do it on weekdays as well?
Just on weekends...the only other network pick-up was ABC World News Sunday (WKBW showed
Fight Back! at 6:30 on Sundays). During the week, they ran financial news (FNN?) during the
daytime, with cable access, movies and Sabres games in the evening and overnights.
Would love a weekday and Sunday Schedule from this time period??? Thanks if you can.

live TV coverage over KOMO-4, KING-5 and KIRO-7).
Wouldn't be surprised if it was ;D

Hard to say. As I remember, the games that were featured on these Saturday telecasts that
season involved teams from the Mid-American Conference and there were stations in or near
the cities that had a university in the M.A.C. who picked them up. WXIX, Channel 19, in Cincinati
was one. WHIO, Channel 7, in Dayton may have been another. Jim McIntyre was still doing the
Cincinnati Reds games on radio then and Arlin Bockhorn went on to do University of Dayton
basketball games on radio; which he still does.

WPXN/Pax TV NEVER ran the Cosby Show which were Bill Cosby episodes from NBC from 1984
to 1992. They ran the show just called Cosby which CBS ran from 1996 to 1999.

But What I remember back during that year, Their actual listings online listed at 5:00pm and
5:30pm as: "The Cosby Show", and the 1996 version actualy ended in 2000.

Question: On 9/11, what did the PBS stations that were airing childrens' programming do?
Canada's CBC, which has long aired childrens' programming in the morning hours, did not break
into their programming with any coverage of the attacks until 12:00pm ET. They stated at the
time they had broken into childrens' programming in 1986 with news of the Challenger
explosion, and after an associated controversy they didn't want to make that mistake again.

...I recall that the mayoral election was originally taking place that very day. Why on Earth would
there be a Mayoral Debate scheduled two hours after the polls closed?...
(7)WABC-ABC New York City
11:35pm Nightline
...the last item shown on WABC-TV/7 before the WTC news broke on the station was a promo for
that week's Nightline series of special reports on the political violence of the previous ten years
or so in Congo that ran at the end of a spot set on Good Morning America. WABC-TV switched to
its own coverage of the WTC event right after a split-second of a network image of Charles
Gibson and Diane Sawyer...
8:00am Maury Povich
...this is, in fact, what my own TV set (in Sharon, Wisconsin, 90 miles plus Northwest of Chicago)
was tuned to that morning, when the first plane hit; I had fallen asleep in front of the TV during
the previous late-night's rerun of The Odd Couple and I didn't wake up until halfway through
Maury. Deciding everything was pretty much okeh in the world, I fell back to sleep for a while;
what woke me was the absence of audio coming from the TV. I opened my eyes to see a Dish
Network computer-generated visual message stating that WPIX-TV was experiencing "technical
difficulties" in its feed to Dish. I then flipped over to KTLA/5 Los Angeles and immediately saw
(about five minutes after the second plane struck) what those "technical difficulties" were.
Ironically, KTLA's Lynnette Romero was visiting her parents in suburban New York that very
morning and phoned in a report to Carlos Amezcua and Emmett Miller in Hollywood...

I believe they used the BBC feed.

This had to be a typo. What the listing likely was supposed to read was "News Special: NYC
Mayoral Primary".
It would have been an hour of coverage of the primary results.

Re: Retro: Newfoundland Sun, Feb 6, 1977
Thats's it? Two channels? Or did they get several affiliates of both networks?
If you're only as young as you feel -- why does reminiscing make me feel old!

That's it -- just those two. Especially so now that the local Radio-Canada transmitter has gone
dark.
Don't know if the area was wired for cable yet, and if so, what channels they got at the time.

mid. For Your Information
Retro: This Week in TV Guide, February 4, 1984 - MSP Edition
It's the start of the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, but my focus is on what happened to that
sad city in the years since. Plus - Barbara Walters interviews, a great movie week, and cable
creep.
http://www.itsabouttv.com/2013/02/th...ry-4-1984.html
As always your comments, positive or negative, are welcome.
Here are the listings for Saturday, February 4. This TV Guide is quite a bit "newer" than most of
the issues I've covered, so some programming notes: Channel 5 is now an ABC affiliate instead of
NBC; Channel 11 has moved from independent to NBC; Channel 9 is now independent instead of
ABC; and there are two additional independent stations - Channels 29 and 41.

Wasn't "Wonder Woman" an hour series? If so, what was on at 5PM?
1969 pilot film for "Marcus Welby, MD, and former "ABC Movie of the Week".
I thought KXLI was based in St. Cloud -- its later satellite, KXLT ch.47, was based in Rochester (and
is now the Fox affiliate for that market).
12:00a Rock Palace
Was this the same program as the West German rock series, "Rockpalast"?

Always liked Max Robinson - liked the whole ABC World News Tonight lineup, for that matter.

My bad. "At the Movies" was on Channel 9, not Channel 5. So WWOS ran from 4-5:30.
1969 pilot film for "Marcus Welby, MD, and former "ABC Movie of the Week".
The description from the listings: "The ailing Marcus Welby (Robert Young) clashes with a young
physician hired as his assistant."
I thought KXLI was based in St. Cloud -- its later satellite, KXLT ch.47, was based in Rochester (and
is now the Fox affiliate for that market).
You're right - I thought that looked wrong.

12:00a Rock Palace

Good question - there's nothing in the listing or the Guide that gives any indication.

Back then, the men's hockey competition at the Winter Olympics would actually begin the day
before the opening ceremony.
Besides the game (in which the U.S. lost to Canada), the program also included a preview of the
Olympics.
I suspect that since the game wasn't live (it was played about twelve hours earlier), that the
game was shown in its entirety. With the intermissions cut-out; which would have filled two
hours. The game was preceded or followed by a general Olympic preview which likely lasted
about an hour.
The U.S. had won the gold in 1980, and ABC was hyping that they'd win it again. Most hockey
experts, however, thought that the best the U.S. could hope for was maybe a third-place bronze
medal, but only if "everything fell into place".
The U.S. finished seventh that year.

Great memories! I was 9 at the time....
For those of you outside of the market, Channel 41 came on the air in '82 as a St. Cloud station,
about 60 miles northwest of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro. 41 was able to convince
syndicators that they were not a Minneapolis station, but Central Minnesota, so they were able
to pick up some top syndication products for low, low prices.
This appears to be the beginning of the end for 41, as the Minneapolis stations raised holy hell,
and some of the syndicated products disappeared (I remember Donahue running at 11am on 41,
while it ran at 8am on 4). MASH and Rockford still got a double run in '84.
And yes, Virginia, nightme Wheel ran at 3:30 for its first year in MSP. That didn't last long.
11's schedule is certainly the one that stands out: no "Hot Potato" at 11; NBC news at 6 to
counter-program channels 4 & 5, and, oh yeah, Johnny and Dave delayed 35 minutes!!!

Would love to also have a Sunday Schedule from this time period. Thanks SO MUCH for the Mid
Week Schedule. Interesting to see the Religious version of Channel 29 prior to its sale. That
station had a few shows you aould not expect to find on a Family type station. Was thinking
more sitcoms would have aired there. Still it was a couple months from being overhauled and
filling a huge hole.
How is 41 running shows owned in Minneaoplis by other stations? Far enough away to be
allowed to duplicate some syndicated shows? That is my guess

So Minneapolis was another market where "Bandstand" was shunned locally, huh?

@Marckd: KXLI was able to convince the syndicators that they were a Central Minnesota
station....
@DToTheJ: KXLI picked up the end of Bandstand's run in about '85 when the syndicators wised
up to the station. ;D

filling a huge hole.
How is 41 running shows owned in Minneaoplis by other stations? Far enough away to be
allowed to duplicate some syndicated shows? That is my guess
Your wish is my command...

Little Rascals were on a CBS affiliate but on weekends only. McHales Navy still on WCCO. A bit
unusual for McHale. Rascals as a weekend morning show on a network affiliate was not that
unusual. Still a better weekday independent station type show.
WTCN was quite a wierd NBC affiliate. Still quite a few classic sitcoms which was a bit unusual
but many recent ones which was more common for affiliates. Owned by Gannett by then
Channel 11 still had many Metromedia Characteristics. Most of the sitcoms were likely holdovers
from Metromedia's buys. They bought many of the sitcoms while still an independent station.
Surprised that Metromedia even wanted NBC shows for Channel 11. If I ran the station back then
I would have refused NBC shows and let Channel 9 have it. NBC would and should have been
stuck with Channel 9.
Channel 9 KMSP was a decent independent but 11 would have made a better one being run by
Metromedia and had they been an independent Gannett probably would not have bought them.
KMSP was running a few more barter first run shows than I would think.
Channel 29 was a wierd religious channel. I could see all religious or a religious channel with
more kid and family fare. But Channel 29 had some family and kids secular shows but had a few
shows not all that family like as well plus they had mixed up the shows in a wierd way. Hours you
would think would be religious were secular and hours you would think would be secular were
religious. Sunday they did run a couple hours of secular and I would think they would be all
religious Sundays. Anyhow the station was about to be sold and converted to a traditional
independent station a couple months later. Maybe sometime in the future we could see a fall 84
schedule. My oldest TV guide for this market was in 1986. This is one of the few large markets I
have never been to and Minnesota was one of the few states I have never been to.

Would love a Weekday and Saturday Schedule - KDKA TV also preempted the CBS Sunday
Morning hour of cartoons which very few CBS affiliates ran anyway. Also WPCB seemed to be all
Christian - wonder what their weekday schedule was like - My guess either all Christian or a
couple hours a day of secular. WPGH seemed thus far to be the only real viable independent. Still
tough to tell just on Sunday Schedules.

ahhh.....Charlie Chan Theater on WPTT. Edited to try and make the films
somewhat less politically incorrect (which in some cases meant cutng out the
bit where Charlie solves Whoodunit!)

WPCB was all-Christian from its inception earlier that year (they signed-on Easter Sunday).
Has run an all-Christian schedule ever since. Now known as Cornerstone Television and available
widely on satellite and cable across the country.

Re: Retro: New England - Sunday, October 21, 1956
I was surprised to see that WHCT, which was owned by CBS at the time, preempted most of CBS
prime time programming. This was a little less than a year before WTIC came on, and from what
I understand WNHC didn't get into the eastern part of Connecticut very well (please correct me
if I'm wrong about that). Why would anyone want to go out and buy a UHF set or converter if the
programming wasn't there?

Channel 3 signed on in September of 1957, but didn't become a CBS affiliate until almost 1960.
As for WNHC/WTNH, I don't think they were ever at the full 316,000 watts for a VHF-high band
station, even before the 2009 shutoff.

During the late 1950's, CBS had a Sunday-night newscast at 11 P.M. Eastern (which I believe,
once tape had been invented, was re-fed at 11:15 ET) anchored by a young Walter Cronkite.
I would think that WMTW-8, WPRO-12, WGAN-13, WHCT-18, and WHYN-55 all carried the CBS
newscast.
This meant that the only local newscasts that day would have been one at Noon on WBZ-4, a
fifteen-minute newscast at 11 on WNHC-8, and maybe an 11 P.M. local newscast on WMUR-9
(However, since WMUR carried a handful of CBS programs, it's possible WMUR carried the CBS
newscast at 11 P.M. instead)
Note that WBZ-4 carried the NFL game between the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers,
but the other stations carrying it were CBS affiliates.
Since DuMont went kaput earlier that year (they had carried games of a number of NFL teams
through 1955), I would think that CBS held the rights to the Giants in 1956. Chances are that the
regular-season NFL games broadcast by WBZ in 1956 were the only CBS programs the station
would carry until January of 1995.
CBS may have "shot itself in the foot" by letng many of it's most popular programs (like Jack
Benny, Ed Sullivan, "I Love Lucy", etc.) air on a VHF station during the period when it owned a
UHF in Hartford.
But even if they had kept network programming for it's own U in Hartford, those southwest of
Hartford would have been able (with an outside antenna) to see those shows on network
flagship WCBS-2 New York; while those in Hartford and points east and northeast (again with an
outdoor antenna) could get CBS programs on either WNAC-7 Boston and/or WPRO-12
Providence.

According to various back issues of TV Guide's New England edition, the then-WTIC-TV gained
CBS affiliation in the Fall of 1958, almost a year after going on the air.

Strange to see an October Sunday schedule that's not wall-to-wall football.
There were only 12 NFL teams (6 games per week) in 1956, and the AFL was 4 years in the
future. This was the first year CBS started televising football; Dumont had been doing some
Saturday night games nationally, and some teams regionally, through the 1955 season.

Also not listed:WBNX Channel 55(Independent) Akron-Cleveland
Was the channel even mentioned in this edition of TVG? The Northern Ohio edition primarily
served rural areas of Northern and Central Ohio outside of Cleveland, Akron, Columbus and
Toledo -- maybe WBNX was not significantly-viewed in the circulation area.
Not at that time at least...only WQHS and WMFD were mentioned as not listed.
Could you please post Northern Ohio listings for Tuesday, August 17, 1993?
Interesting that WMFD wasnt listed-Considering the large area the Northern Ohio TV Guide
covered-Cleveland to Steubenville/Zanesville to Columbus and Toledo..Mansfield is right in the
middle of that area..Didnt stations "pay" to be included?..That may have been why WMFD wasnt
included Or WQHS-But WQHS was HSN..I dont recall that HSN shows were ever listed in
Cleveland area TV Guides..
I'm not sure of the rationale, but I don't think stations had to pay TVG to have their stations
listed. In fact, up until the 1980s, the station ads in TVG were mostly paid for with barter, in
exchange for showing TVG commercials on their station.
I don't know exactly why WMFD was not listed, but for WQHS, it was obvious, as much of its
programs were home shopping.
I have also been surprised that WMFD never ran their listings in TV Guide, but at the same time,
it's an independent station in a smaller city, and they primarily air local programming. And a lot
of the syndicated programs they run are shows that one of the Cleveland or Columbus stations
already run, as stations from both of those markets are viewable in the Mansfield area. I've
always found WMFD's program schedule to be an interesting mix though, even though I've
hardly ever watched that channel, as I don't live in an area where it is viewable on cable.

Did Marv Albert and Craig Sager work that game?
Seriously, Besides the Knicks, the original NBA included (I think) the Celtics, Rochester Royals
(now the Sacramento-soon-to-be Seattle Kings), Syracuse Nationals (now the Sixers),
Philadelphia Warriors, Fort Wayne Pistons, St. Louis Hawks, and the Minneapolis Lakers. I think
the Pistons may have played their early games in a guard armory, too, as well as one of the
bigger high school gyms in FW (either North Side or South Side).

In 48-49, Minneapolis, Rochester, Fort Wayne and a now long-gone Indianapolis team joined the
BAA from the National Basketball League
In 1949-50 The rest of the NBL joined and the BAA was renamed the National Basketball
Association with 17 teams as far west as Denver..In a weird 3-division setup, not all teams played
the same number of games..The Minneapolis Lakers won their second straight title..

The Indianapolis entry became the "Olympians" starting in the 1949-50 season. The team's
nickname came from having Alex Groza, Ralph Beard, Wallace Jones and Cliff Barker from the
1948 Olympic Basketball Team on the squad along with Olympic game alternate Joe Holland. The
team lasted through the 1952-53 season.

The Ft. Wayne Pistons played in the North Side High School gym, then moved to the Allen
County War Memorial Coliseum before moving to Detroit Olympia Stadium in 1957.
Retro: This Week in TV Guide, February 13, 1965 - MN State Edition
This week, John Gregory Dunne profiles Andy Williams, the United Nations strikes again with
another of their made-for-TV movies, a variety show salute to the Peace Corps (!), Sullivan vs.
The Palace, and a documentary with a profile of a future target of the Unibomber. Some week,
huh?

Re: Retro: Boston/Manchester/Providence Sun, Feb 13, 1977
WMUR running ABC SUnday Morning Cartoon leftovers at 6 PM is unusual. The other 30 minute
leftover proabably ran in the 7 AM hour Saturday morning. WMUR did seem to carry the entire
ABC slate. WCVB was horrible with preemptions. I guess WMUR was making up for Channel 5
there. WNAC was also not running CBS Sunday Morning Cartoon leftovers at that point. At some
points they indeed did. Very few CBS affiliates ran CBS Sunday Morning cartoons. But most ABC
affiliates did run the leftovers.
NO 3 Stooges on WSBK SUnday Morning??? That was a long time tradition. I thought that dated
back to the early 70's. Maybe it did not go as far back as I thought.
Would love a weekday schedule as well as a Saturday one. This predates the sign of on 25 WXNE.
That station initially was an also ran that evolved to a decent station by 1982 and quite a good
station by 1986 right before they sold that to Fox. It took time for them to get the good shows
that WSBK and WLVI did not decide to renew. By 1982 though WXNE was beginning to win bids
for newly syndicated shows and by 1986 they were at least a major player.

Re: Retro: Louisiana TV Guide, Dec. 5, 1963
At some point in time the New Orleans stations got white-channel-
number-on-black-background bullets, the others getng black on white,
in that edition; I remember that from the late '70s. New Orleans was
also white-on-black in the South Mississippi edition, which I remember
in the '80s, but when WWL, WDSU, and WVUE were in the Gulf Coast
edition they were black-on-white.
WVUE and WYES were involved in a channel swap in 1970, when WVUE
got Ch. 8 and WYES Ch. 12. I can think of only three others: the swap
of 2 and 8 in Nashville, 7 and 13 in El Paso, and 4 and 6 in Miami. The first
two, like New Orleans, involved ABC and PBS; Miami was a CBS/NBC swap
that put CBS back on Ch. 4 (WCIX becoming WFOR) and NBC o&o WTVJ
going from 4 to 6.
Ethma Odum was still on the air some fifteen years later.

I always thought that the purpose of the different colored bullets was to differentiate stations on
same channels. For instance, the Oklahoma edition listed both Tulsa and Wichita Falls, both with
a channel 6. Tulsa, being a primary OK market, got a white 6 on a black background. Wichita Falls
got a black 6 on a white background.
Same with channel 11. KOED 11 Tulsa was black background, KTVT 11 Fort Worth was a white
background.

That's right. But in the Louisana edition, it was the opposite. New Orleans, the largest market in
the state, got black numbers on a white screen. The other cities got white numbers on a black
screen.
Some TV Guides that covered a wider area, such as Montana, also used black numbers on white
screens with three veritical black lines through them. And there were also screens that were part
black and part white. For single digit numbers, there'd be a black border on the right and left of
the screen with a black number in the center. For two digit numbers, the screen would be half
white and half black. In the Montana TV Guide, stations in the western, more populous part of
the state, got black bullets, eastern got white, Salt Lake City got the lines through the screen and
Spokane got the half-black, half-white screens.
The Alberta-Saskatchewan TV Guide had SIX channel 2's. They used the four different bullets
described above, plus a couple of Channel 2's had the letter that began their city of license
inside the bullet as well.

Re: Retro: Central Florida Saturday, February 12, 1966
Certainly an interesting collection of both local & network shows from that mid-60's period.
I assume "10-A-GO-GO" featured both live and recorded music along with local young ladies as
go-go girls. Having it right after American Bandstand sounds like someone knew how to program.
The SEC basketball game on both Channels 6 & 13 with Kentucky & Auburn would have featured
the Kentucky team who were known as "Rupp's Runts" because they were all 6-5 or shorter.
That's the team who lost to Texas Western (now Texas El-Paso) in the NCAA Finals at the end of
that season.
I also note "Let's Go To The Races" on Channel 10. That show was shown in many cities and had
filmed races with a local host and usually a tie-in with a local supermarket where you got the
printed material for playing along.

go-go girls. Having it right after American Bandstand sounds like someone knew how to program.
Later on (as past schedules here indicated), it would become "10's Bandstand", only to leave the
air before the 1970s started.
I also note "Let's Go To The Races" on Channel 10. That show was shown in many cities and had
filmed races with a local host and usually a tie-in with a local supermarket where you got the
printed material for playing along.
It was revived in the early-1980s, but with a nationwide hosts commenting on the race and the
winning tickets. In the Tampa Bay area, WTOG carried that version for Grand Union
supermarkets.

I'm guessing this was syndicated from Los Angeles. Gene Weed was on KFWB for most of their
top 40 days, and later produced one of the big annual country music award shows.

Indeed Shivaree originated in LA, and was syndicated by ABC.

...this would have most likely been the Manhasset, NY, band called The Outcasts, whose record
"Loving You Sometimes" is heard at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR9fON2mSaA -- solid
fuzztone garage pop. There were several other groups using that band name during the same
period, one based in San Antonio (most noted for their record "I'm in Pittsburgh and it's rainin',"
the title of which was lifted from Mountain's first line of dialogue in Rod Serling's Requiem for a
Heavyweight), another backing up Houston singer Linda Pierre King, and yet another based in
San Diego that eventually morphed into Gary Puckett & The Union Gap...
9:00 Movie "The Stranger"
...interesting double feature -- the first a WW2 item about a landmark event in the fight against
an Axis power, the second a (barely) post-War tale about the search for an escaped Axis power
war criminal...

...a clip of Astin's Addams Family co-star Ted Cassidy performing his novelty dance pop tune "The

imagine, less than three years before this, Cassidy had reported part of WFAA-TV/8 Dallas and
ABC-TV's coverage of the assassination of President Kennedy! ...

The game was taped earlier that day. During the 1965/66 season, WOR carried Saturday games
of the Rangers, away games live and home games (matinees) on tape that evening. WOR had a
color mobile unit (also used to cover Mets' baseball games), and the station claimed that a game
on November 13, 1965 against Chicago at the old Madison Square Garden (also televised back to
WGN-9 Chicago) was the first-ever color telecast of an NHL game (although CHCH-11 in
Hamilton, Ontario also claims to have been the first to have produced a televised NHL game in
color).
The game was also broadcast live and in color back to Boston on the old WHDH-5. It was, as far
as I know, both the first-ever locally-produced (as opposed to network) live telecast of a Boston
Bruins' away game back to Boston and the first time a Bruins' game had ever been televised in
the Boston area in color.
Fred Cusick was the commentator for the Boston telecast.

Re: Retro: Boston/Providence/New Haven - Sunday, August 26, 1951
"Ted Mack's Family Hour" is a different show from his "Amateur Hour."
At the time it was "Amateur Hour" which aired Tuesdays at 10 on NBC;

"Family Hour" was on ABC Sunday 6-7 PM. Like "Amateur Hour," "Family
Hour" was originally a radio show hosted by Major Bowes; it aired on Sunday
mornings or early Sunday afternoons on CBS all through the '30s; I think that
version ended around 1941.

Thanks for the info. It's somewhat hard to track down info on some of these show, especially
DuMont or summer replacement shows.

According to Shrp Sports.com, the old Boston Braves and the St. Louis Cardinals played a
doubleheader that day (that would explain why WNAC-7 and WJAR-11 had scheduled baseball to
run for four and a half hours).
Each team won one game.
I noticed that later in the week the Braves had games airing at 8:30p on weeknights. Was that
the norm, or was it done for a 7:30p start time in St. Louis (Monday)/Chicago (Tuesday &
Wednesday)? This particular Guide also had an article asking if there was too much baseball on
TV, with lots of viewers complaining that they were missing their favorite shows.
I wouldnt know about that, exactly, but I do know that Cleveland Indians Telecast Night Games in
the same era started at 8 or 8:30PM, which seemed late to me..Based on May 1951, some night
games started at 8:30..

1:00 RKO Rok (station was owned by RKO General at the time)
...and their co-owned AM radio station in Boston was the Top 40 powerhouse WRKO/680.
Considering that fact, would it be reasonable to assume that this series was a rock music show
competing with American Bandstand on WSBK/38?...
Given the title, I'd say you're right on the money...any of the New Englanders on the board know
any more about this show?
WBZ seemed to run nearly the entire NBC Saturday cartoons and seemed less preemption happy
during the week as well. WCVB also seemed less preemption happy as well during the week
though they preempted a chunk of ABC Saturday cartoons and ran nothing from ABC Sunday
Morning. WNAC 7 preempted Children's Film Festival but ran SUnday Morning cartoon reruns
Saturday Morning and a week behind. During the week they also preempted an hour of CBS
shows. In Providence Channel 10 preempted a chunk of NBC shows. 12 WPRI ran only a third of
the CBS cartoons and certainly no Sunday Morning cartoon reruns. Still between the 2 cities you
could get most every network show with a couple those being preempted in both places.
Children's Film Festival was not seen at all.
WMUR I believe eventually ran the ABC Sunday Cartoons on Saturday Mornings but still at that
point ran them Sunday evening before prime time shows. WMUR had low quality shows and it
was ABC that gave WMUR the good programming.
WSBK and WLVI were strong with cartoons during the week and had some stuff Sunday
mornings but like the stations in Philadelphia these two stations did not even bother competing
for kids on Saturdays. Both ran rather weak Saturday morning shows but that was common for
indepednents in some places. By the way WLVI's two monster movies were under the title
Creature Double Feature. This was a company wide Field/Kaiser practice to have this type of
marketing. WLVI had some similarities to WKBS but did not have the exact same shows. Still both
seemed to be pretty strong stations.
IIRC it was hosted by WRKO's Dale Dorman. I have a hazy memory of seeing the video for ABBA's
"SOS" on that show. I can't remember if there was a studio audience or if it was just early videos.
When WNAC became WNEV in 1981 they also had a daily video show.
Would that video show be Hit Video USA? Ch 7 aired that show in the mid 80s IIRC...
Yes - that was the name. It aired at 4p, right after "Guiding Light".

Re: Retro: Boston/Manchester/Providence/Portland Sun. Feb 14, 1960
Given that the NBA game between the Boston Celtics and the then-Philadelphia Warriors in
Philadelphia on February 14th 1960 was telecast only on the old WHDH-5 in Boston and WCSH-6
Portland, could this have been a local telecast originated by the former and fed to the latter??

Re: Retro: Boston/Manchester/Providence/Portland Sun. Feb 14, 1960

WHDH often picked up NBA games from NBC during this era, in addition to some live Celtics
games. Being it was a Sunday it was most likely an NBC broadcast.

Re: Retro: Chicago Sat, Feb 21, 1976
I'm surprised to see channel 32 carrying a Black Hawks game. I thought WSNS TV 44 carried most
of their games. Did not realize channel 32 carried them as well.

The channel 2 version was the syndicated Don Cornelius version from Hollywood. The channel
26 version was the local show that led to the national version; the 26 version was still on the air
at the time, but now with Clinton Ghent as host.

Would love a Sunday and weekday schedule from that time period....Jetsons both on WGN TV
and NBC...Unusual - NBC had rights to run once a week while the same episodes were
concurrently in syndication. Also Johnny Quest and Bullwinkle ran a few years later on NBC while
at the same time still being in syndication...same eoisodes and all...Also years later George Of
The Jungle while syndicated also ran on ABC in the ear;y 90's...
Thanks if you can post the weekday and sunday schedule...

I wonder if one reason why Bob Keeshan dropped "Mr. Mayor" after one year was that he had
gained ownership of "Captain Kangaroo" in 1965.

Odd to see this on Saturday instead of Sunday morning. I think the station in Dallas that carried
Fritz Von Erich's Saturday night wrestling show also had the Jubille as part of a block of country
music programs and westerns that preceded wrestling.

Note; These were the only three stations on the air in New York in the winter of 1948. Four more
had construction permits and were at varying stages of completion. Next to sign on in the spring
of 1948 would be WATV (ch. 13, independent, studio and transmitter in Newark) followed by
WPIX (ch. 11, independent, studio, office and first transmitter at the headquarters of its owner,
the New York Daily News). Next in August of 1948 came ABC O&O WJZ-TV (ch. 7), and finally in
1949, WOR-TV (ch. 9, independent, studio on Broadway, first transmitter in New Jersey).
WNBT had studios at 30 Rock and transmitter on the Empire State Building from the start in
1941--and while its callsign is now WNBC, it still does today. WCBS-TV moved its antenna from
the Chrysler Building to ESB in 1951, while WABD, WPIX and WJZ-TV made the move from other
locations around Manhattan to the Empire State Building mast at the same time. WATV and
WOR-TV moved their main transmitters to ESB in 1953.

Just a random thing regarding Syracuse TV stations and TV GUIDE...They were carried in the
PA/NY state edition of TVG with black bullets up until 1981 - at that time, it was only 3, 5, and 9
that were carried. Sometime in 1981, the bullets were changed from the square ones to oblong,
and they became 3S, 5S, and 9S. 5, 9, and 11 from NYC were already listed, with the three of
them having the black/white combo bullet (11 being split), but those became 5N,9N, and 11N
(later in most editions, 9N became WOR).
It was sometime around 1989 that 3S, 5S, 9S, and by now 24S became 3, 5, 9, and 24 with white
bullets. It's the only edition I've ever seen stations do that transformation.
In case one is interested, they carried 16, 22, 28, 38, 44, and 56 from Scranton, and also 8/20, 12,
34, and 40 from Binghamton, and 18 and 36 from Elmira.
3 and 18 aired their entire schedule together up until sometime in the late '80s/early '90s as
well..
Could be "Family Medical Center" for the unknown "Medical" program on WTVH.
Back in those days WTVH was the ratings "king" of Syracuse. Then WSTM bought them out and
they've been a horrible station since (probably 10 years ago). The #1 newscasts in Syracuse have
now been turned into WSTM simulcasts. What a shame!
Blame it on Granite Broadcasting, which was so cheap in running their stations, they ended up
losing ratings. In WTVH's case, to a point where they ended up closing the studios and letng
Barrington's WSTM run the station.

So did WLW-T not air newscast in color?

Strangely enough, no; TV Guide lists them in black and white.
It is peculiar, given that Paul Dixon and Ruth Lyons' shows, both
of which originated at Ch. 5, did air in color.

With regards to this, it may have been in 1965, that WLW-T was still airing its news, sports and
weather from the Comex Building across Elm Street from the main studios (where Dixon, Lyons,
etc. did their shows). At that time, there were no color cameras in the Comex Building. I recall a
time, the news and sports were done in the main building and telecast in color while the
weather was still done in the Comex facility that had actual radar and weather gauges and it was
still in black and white. While not in color, this certainly was more authentic (for example, when
there was a gust of wind, you would actually see the wind gauge move). Later on in the 60's, the
weather portion moved over to the main studios with the others although the gauges were then
pre-set before the telecast to show current conditions.
Maybe an old WLW-T employee could provide dates and additional data on this.

later did play-by-play of University of Cincinnati football & basketball games from the 1971-72
through 1976-77 seasons on WCKY Radio 1530-AM. A nice guy.

"Nightlife" with David Brenner was a syndicated show. Your local ABC affiliate must have aired it
following "Nightline."

IIRC, "Nightlife" was carried by the ABC o&os (mine, WTVD,
did) and I suspect the majority of stations carrying it were
ABC affiliates. I remember David Brenner saying about the
show that the biggest names weren't always the best interviews,
pointing to Dennis Hopper as one guest who turned out to be a
great talker and--for Brenner--an enjoyable interview.

RETRO: CLEVELAND MARKET, JUNE 8, 1968
Robert F. Kennedy's funeral was on this date. Originally, the funeral and burial were expected to
simply preempt the morning and afternoon shows on the network and affiliates. However,
because the train carrying Kennedy's body was moving much slower (because of people along
the tracks from New York to Washington), the entire evening of programming was also wiped
out. Here is what was supposed to air before the assassination:

"Montage" was syndicated, at least to the NBC-Owned and operated stations and often did
stories of national interest..Producer Dennis Goulden is working with Cleveland State
University's Memory Project to restore many of the episodes and make them freely available
online..
The "Lone Ranger" on WJW-TV 8 was most likely a Saturday Morning Cartoon from CBS, in the
middle of a 3-year run..

Unless there was an "Outer Limits" cartoon show that I don't know about, how could "The Outer
Limits" run for a half-hour when the series was an hour long? I find it hard to believe that they'd
play half an episode and then come back for the second half the next day or next week. So,
something has to give. Is there a way to research these listings further?

Should have mentioned that "The Outer Limits" is listed as on WJW-TV8 from 6:30 - 7:00pm.

When I saw it, I said the same thing. I have no idea what it was--I doubt they chopped out 25
minutes of the plot.
Not only that, WJW's listings show "The Munsters" for an hour
but no indication if this was a case of two episodes back-to-back;
likewise, "Wagon Train" is shown as a half-hour, when it aired for
an hour every season it was on except 1963-64, when it expanded
to 90 minutes for one season. Some double-checking is definitely
in order here.
That was a typo on my part. Wagon Train began at 5:30. The Outer Limits listing is what was
printed in the PD archives.
Some may not know of or otherwise recall that Mel Allen was one of the announcers for Indians'
televised games in the 1968 season.
Was that the only year Allen did Tribe games? I know he'd been fired by the Yankees some years
earlier, I think when CBS bought them.
Yes it was, and part of the reason was he was pretty detached from the team, making numerous
mistakes and acting as if he'd rather be elsewhere. Most of the games were shown on weekends,
which made Mel's schedule even crazier, because when they were home contests, he flew back
to New York to tape a show after the Saturday afternoon game, then flew back to Cleveland
before flying back to New York to tape a Sunday night show. After the season, Mel had the
audacity to say he didn't want to be considered for the job again in '69, when the fact was that
he wasn't going to be hired back.

Where was this listing from?..Based on Cleveland Plain Dealer Archives, "Baron Von Saltman"
was a replacement for "Ghoulardi" Ernie Anderson as WJW-TV on air personnel were on strike at
this point..So this couldnt be from TV Guide. TV Guide usually had listings printed well in
advance..
It was from the PD
Also, at the time, WKYC was still KYW-TV -- the swap reversal would not take place until 1965.
I know this is a hard one, but maybe some real hard core tv-ista's
might know the answer to my question.
I wonder which of the programs on the afternoon schedule that were scrubbed due to the JFK
assasination news, were live; and of those that were, which ones were taped and shown at a
later time? Also, which shows were already on tape, and I suppose were scheduled for broadcast
at a later date?
And whatever became of the first TV transmission across the Pacific Ocean, scheduled for NBC
and ABC at 3:30pm?
Joe
and ABC at 3:30pm?
My guess is that the satellite was used at that hour to beam news reports of the assassination of
President Kennedy to (depending on which countries had satellite up]Boston[/i] Globe. The
Globe listed the network stations as having regular programs at 3:30 P.M. Eastern time ("Who Do
You Trust?"--by then hosted by Woody Woodbury---on ABC, "The Edge Of Night" on CBs and
"You Don't Say!" on NBC).
I wonder which of the programs on the afternoon schedule that were scrubbed due to the JFK
assasination news, were live; and of those that were, which ones were taped and shown at a
later time? Also, which shows were already on tape, and I suppose were scheduled for broadcast
at a later date?
and ABC at 3:30pm?
Joe
As The World Turns was live (at least on the East Coast, but ironically--for this thread--not in
Cleveland) because the producers went ahead and kept taping. The full episode is available at
the Paley Center in L.A. One story about ATWT that day was that one of the actors was waiting to
go on and overheard one of the producers instructing someone, "Don't say anything about it."
Obviously, the actor had no clue how major IT was.
Of the three networks running at the time of the news flash, CBS had the only live show.
However, all the networks were on the story by 2 p.m., so I seriously doubt any of those later
shows even thought of shooting that day's episode.
The two local Cleveland afternoon shows, Mike Douglas and The One O'Clock Club were also live
and the PD archives have an 11/23 article that notes the reaction on those shows. Douglas was
interviewing a government official when station newscaster Bud (later John) Dancy came rushing
down the steps of the audience to break the news. On the One O'Clock Club, co-host Bill Gordon
had just finished a commercial and was getng ready to introduce the next guest when the
network broke in. When they returned, Gordon predictably looked stunned and his co-host
Dorothy Fuldheim was near tears. They babbled for a few monents and then some harp music
started playing before the network came on for good.

Re: RETRO: CLEVELAND MARKET, NOVEMBER 22, 1963
WEWS simply pushed back the Jim Brown show one week and showed it on November 29.
Route 66 also showed the preempted episode (which actually had a CBS bumper that can be
seen in the CBS footage soon after the first news reports) that next week, because they sure as
hell were not going to show the episode that was originally scheduled: Tod Stiles (Martin Milner)
has an evil twin that is planning to assassinate a political leader. That episode wasn't shown until
March, although some reports say it wasn't shown until it went into syndication.

On the WJW listings... Are we sure "The People's Choice" is a game show? There was a sitcom
with that title from the 1950s which it might be. Anyway, if "The People's Choice" was a game
show, what kind of game was it?

On WEWS at 10:45am they have "TV Classroom - Social Studies". This is likely a program
produced live or on tape/film at WEWS by The Cleveland Public Schools for Cleveland school
classrooms. The school district's TV Director was Dick Scharf who I had the priviledge of working
with towards the end of his career in the 1980s. Any still photographs used were likely taken by
Don Elliot, or possibly very young Ed Oshaben and Rich Palmer. They were the school district's
still photographers for many decades.
Sometime in 1965, WVIZ came on the air, and the school programs migrated over there. Even as
late as 1989, WVIZ allowed the Cleveland Schools to put shows on their main channel. By the
mid 1980s, or earlier in that decade, there were no regular series, but school produced videos
would pop up in the 3pm hour occasionally. Now, cable channel 22 in the City of Cleveland is the
school channel.
WEWS simply pushed back the Jim Brown show one week and showed it on November 29.
Route 66 also showed the preempted episode (which actually had a CBS bumper that can be
seen in the CBS footage soon after the first news reports) that next week, because they sure as
hell were not going to show the episode that was originally scheduled: Tod Stiles (Martin Milner)
has an evil twin that is planning to assassinate a political leader. That episode wasn't shown until
March, although some reports say it wasn't shown until it went into syndication.
Which means that by then Route 66 was "jumping the shark" :
I would think so. Not surprisingly, this was the show's final season.
Regarding "The People's Choice," it probably was the 50's sitcom, since the show ran for three
seasons and racked up 104 years--making it syndication-worthy. I went on the (faulty)
assumption of, "Yeah, that sounds a game show." In the words of Rick Perry, oops.

"People's Choice" was definitely the sitcom. It would also turn up in the early days of WBNX-
Channel 55 Akron in the mid-1980's..

...IIRC, The People's Choice also popped up on WFLD/32 Chicago and WTMJ-TV/4 Milwaukee at
various times in the '70s...
Anyway, if "The People's Choice" was a game show, what kind of game was it?
"The People's Choice" was a comedy show starring Jackie Cooper, Patricia Breslin (who later
married Art Modell) and Paul Maxey. It was in syndication by this time after having been on NBC-
TV in the 1950's. The show featured a basset hound named Cleo whose thoughts were heard
just by viewers as voiced by Mary Jane Croft (much like the current comic strip, Garfield).

I'm wondering by 1963 how many of the three network soaps were still live? My feeling is lots of
them (I know there were a number until 1975) because producers just did not like the look of
videotape at the time (dispite having to use it for delayed broadcasts).
Would I be correct about this?

If this isn't the reason why would anyone still go live by 1963 (other than the opening night
excitement, blah, blah, which we here would appreciate, but I think would have been a bummer
for working tv actors at the time).

BTW, this program was not listed in that day's Boston Globe. The Globe listed the network
stations as having regular programs at 3:30 P.M. Eastern time ("Who Do You Trust?"--by then
hosted by Woody Woodbury---on ABC, "The Edge Of Night" on CBs and "You Don't Say!" on
NBC).
and the Windsor Star (in Google News Archives for Thursday November 21, 1963) has both
WWJ(WDIV) and KYW(WKYC) airing "You Don't Say" at 3:30. Based on the Listing from the
Windsor Star, these programs was broken into in the 1:40-2:00PM time frame
(2) WJBK- As The World Turns
(3) KYW- Mike Douglass
(4) WWJ- Make Room for Daddy

(5) WEWS- Club 5
(7) WXYZ- Theater 7 (not the infamous episode of Father Knows Best with the ABC Bulletins that
aired live. that Episode aired on WXYZ, WLS, And WABC at 12:30PM EST)
(8 ) WJW- Hawaiian Eye
(9) CKLW- Kennedy Showtime (the Detroit movie host Bill Kennedy)
(10) CFPL- Movie
(56) WTVS- World History

While it wasn't necessarily the Cleveland area, the Toledo Blade was (like WJW) on strike at the
time of the assassination. Given the gravity of the story, the strike was suspended the night of
the assassination, with the 11/24 edition the first new paper. That sounds reminiscent of the NFL
Officials strike in 2001 that was suspended in the days after 9/11.
(7) WXYZ- Theater 7 (not the infamous episode of Father Knows Best with the ABC Bulletins that
aired live. that Episode aired on WXYZ, WLS, And WABC at 12:30PM EST)
...the Chicago station was still WBKB/7; it wouldn't become WLS-TV until the Autumn of 1968...
Joeybabe, I have the Nov. 23rd Cleveland Plain Dealer. The One O'Clock Club on Channel 5 was
being broadcast live, according to the paper, when it was interrupted by a network news bulletin
stating that the president had been "cut down" by gunfire in Texas. Live programming returned
briefly with Dorothy Fuldheim, according to writer Don Robertson, appearing near tears. A
harpist was in the studio that day and she played music briefly before the network took over for
good.
This makes me wonder (perhaps fodder for a new thread?) about other stations that were in the
midst of live local programming when the news broke. (There must have been a few.) WFAA is, of
course, the most well-known example, primarily because the abrupt switch from women's
fashion show to Jay Watson's breathless first bulletin was preserved on tape.
It's not TV, but for me the most chilling "live" interruption preserved is the audio clip of Boston
Symphony Orchestra conductor Erich Leinsdorf abruptly informing a matinee audience of the
assassination, evoking a huge collective gasp, following which he instructs the orchestra to play
the Funeral March from Beethoven's third symphony.
Something that was tragically repeated when Robert Kennedy announced to an unaware
Indianapolis crowd that Martin Luther King had been assassinated.

I remember WTVS(56) aired a clip where a school program (World History) was interrupted to
make the announcement that JFK was shot (right after ABC radio broke the story). It can also be
assumed that many of the stations that now make up PBS was airing live school programs. WGN
was transmitng the Bozo show when the news broke.
WGN was transmitng the Bozo show when the news broke.
Just a question on this. Wasn't Bozo a morning show or was it in the early afternoon in
November, 1963? The news on the shooting would have broken about 12:35 P.M. Chicago Time,
wouldn't it?
I believe at the time Bozo was on weekdays at 12 Noon, when most kids are home for lunch -- it
didn't move to mornings until 1981.
...WGN-TV/9's morning cartoon show was Ray Rayner & His Friends, which had debuted in 1962.
Rayner also played Oliver O. Oliver on Bozo's Circus, which was the Noon hour program on WGN-
TV the day of the assassination...
Anyone know how WGN handled the situation? Being an indie, did they break in with their own
bulletin(s)? What did they do the rest of the day? Did they relay any network feeds?
On WGN radio, there was this:
"Orion Samuelson was on the air as host of "Country Fair" (forerunner of "The Noon Show")
when he delivered WGN's first bulletin about Kennedy's assassination in Dallas."
As far as TV, it might have been similar to what many cable networks did on 9/11, simulcast a
network feed. The situation certainly called for it, and it's not as if the networks were worried
about ratings (since there was no advertising).
I'm wondering by 1963 how many of the three network soaps were still live? My feeling is lots of
them...
The only reason video (a "news bulletin" slide) still exists of the first CBS News television bulletin
of the JFK assassination was that "As The World Turns" was still being broadcast live and was
bring simultaneously videotaped for playback to the West Coast two hours later (12:30 P.M. PST,
or 3:30 EST).

Re: Retro:Cleveland, Ohio Friday, February 18, 1949
9:30 College Basketball-John Carroll University vs. Xavier (JCU was in Cleveland. As this was
shown locally, it may have been at the Cleveland Arena..There would have been no way to
televise the game from Cincinnati live)
It was at the Arena, and was the nightcap of a doubleheader. Xavier won the game 78-60 before
a "sparse" crowd of 2,219. The first game (obviously not shown) was a local matchup: Baldwin
Wallace vs. Case (now Case Western Reserve) Tech.
Just wondering if this John Carroll - Xavier game may have been the first (or at least one of the
first) college basketball games televised in Ohio - at least by a commercial station? Is there
anything about who the announcer or announcers were or other related information?
WEWS had been already on the air over a year at this point. I'll look it up, but there may have
been games televised the previous winter. An educated guess at an announcer might be Bob
Neal, who later was known for Covering The Browns, Indians and Hockey Barons on either radio
or TV.

Thanks, Tim.
That's right. WEWS did sign on some time before that. Any information is appreciated.
I wonder if that was the first time that a Xavier basketball team was on TV (even if it was not
seen in the Cincinnati area). That 1949 game with John Carroll was the first time the two schools
met in basketball.

WEWS broadcast some games a few months earlier in December 1948. The only other station on
the air at the time was WNBK (now WKYC), which has always been the NBC affiliate.

The earliest game televised was Fenn College/John Carroll December 1, 1948 on WEWS. Danny
Landau, who was a local sportcaster at stations WSRS-1490, WHK-1420, WCUO-103.3 FM, and
WERE-1300 from roughly 1948-58, did play by play with no color man. Landau did local boxing,
wrestling and city high school and college sports as well on radio..JCU defeated Fenn 87-47 in a
game at the Cleveland Arena..Fenn College was the forerunner of today's Cleveland State
University..

11PM Chesterfield Supper Club-Perry Como
Given the era I'm assuming that would have been live? Late night for Perry.
The late night stretch (which began the previous month) only lasted until June. When he
returned in the Fall, the show was on for 30 minutes on Sundays beginning at 8 p.m.

Would Danny Landau then have been the announcer for the John Carroll-Xavier game?

Could have been a simualcast with the audio being used for both radio & TV coverage of the
game. That was done here as recently as the early 1980's.

Two years later, the Golden Globes would move from TBS to NBC (though prior to that, it had a
rocky broadcast history, first on local TV (KTTV, I think) then CBS and later syndication).

In Detroit, there would be a major affiliation change about a year later, with Fox going to WJBK-2
and CBS moving to a previously little-watched UHF channel.
Also, a couple of years later, CBC began broadcasting Saturday-night NHL doubleheaders (with
7:05 and 10:05 P.M. EDT/EST face-offs). In Newfoundland, the "late" game often doesn't end
until around 2 A.M. local time!
And WSBK-38 in Boston was long popular on Canadian cable systems due to their coverage of
Boston Bruins' games (and later, the Boston Red Sox and Boston Celtics). Today, all non-network
games of all three teams are exclusive to regional cable networks in the Boston area, so I doubt
that WSBK is on very many Canadian cable systems any more.

Cancom, which distributed the Detroit signals, switched the CBS feed about a week before the
change, replacing it with nearby Eye affiliate WTOL Toledo. Took a few newspapers a while to
make the change in their listings...I remember one of the local weeklies here, listing WJBK's Fox
listings well into the following year!

In Canada, WSBK is a superstation, so it still receives wide distribution across the country. Here in
Atlantic Canada, cablecos carry Boston stations, due to the traditional links between New
England and Atlantic Canada.

Do you know how many cable systems in the Maritimes carry Boston's WGBH-2, WBZ-4, WCVB-
5, WHDH-7, WFXT-25, and/or WLVI-56??

In the case of WTOL, it was replaced in 1999 with WWJ-TV, CBS's lowly O&O. However, no one
bothered to tell TV Hebdo, Quebec's "TV Guide", of the change -- as of 2009, that magazine still
carried listings for WTOL instead of WWJ. Don't know if they still have WTOL listed today.

I don't believe anyone in the Maritimes is carrying WLVI -- it's not even approved by the CRTC for
carriage, unlike the other major Boston stations.

I confirm that WTOL is still listed in TV Hebdo (as of January 2013), as well as the Rochester
stations (WROC, WHEC and WHAM), Portland's WMTW and Buffalo's WUTV, which are no longer
carried by any cable or satellite provider in Quebec.
(In Montreal, WMTW was discontinued in 1990 and WUTV in 1997. In Sherbrooke, WMTW was
discontinued in 1994. In Gatineau and Ottawa, WUTV and the Rochester stations were
discontinued in 2003.)

Though WMTW was still seen via antenna in southern Quebec until 2002, when it shut down its
Mount Washington transmitter and began broadcasting closer to Portland.

WGBH-NS and PEI wide (NB carries MPBN, except for Eastlink in Sackville and Port Elgin which
takes 'GBH)
WBZ-region wide, except St. John River Valley which takes WAGM Presque Isle instead
WCVB-region wide
WHDH-region wide
WFXT-dish only (Bell TV; Shaw Direct and cablecos take WUHF Rochester)
WLVI-not carried (only Beantown U cablecast here is WSBK)
In an update, Eastlink, the main cableco in NS and sole cableco in PEI, just swapped Fox
channels, dropping WUHF for WFXT. Took 'em long enough...we've had the other Boston affils
since August 1996 (and TV38 since the late 80s).

TVH is waaaay out of date on the US nets...the main cableco in the Abitibi-Temiscamingue
region, Cablevision, takes Boston channels (Big 4 and WGBH), none of which are listed in TVH.
Rogers on the Gaspe coast takes ABC/CBS/NBC from Boston and PBS from Bangor (their cable
feed comes out of Bathurst, NB).

I wonder how TV Hebdo continues to list channels that can't be seen in Quebec? And to ignore
channels that are regularly seen?
Maybe I shouldn't complain. At least TV Hebdo is still making the effort to list each station's
schedule. Even though my French is limited, I picked up a TV Hebdo last time I was in Montreal
to know what was on, not an English-language TV Guide.
TV Guide Canada only lists most channels and networks regionally, not individual stations in
individual markets like they once did. I suppose the schedules these days for CBC, SRC, TVA, etc.
are pretty standard, whether you're in Montreal, Quebec, Sherbrooke, Ottawa, etc. Stations that
have their own line ups, such as CFCF (CTV Montreal) and CJOH (CTV Ottawa) do get their own
listings.
But you'd think that somebody would send a note to the TV Hebdo editors that they see WWJ-
TV Detroit, not WTOL Toledo, as their CBS station. Or they see WXYZ Detroit as their ABC station,
not WMTW Poland Spring, Maine.

TV Guide Canada only lists most channels and networks regionally, not individual stations in
individual markets like they once did.
TV Guide in Canada ceased publication in November 2006 -- after following the US counterpart's
lead of offering nationwide listings with one edition for each of the four "important" timezones
(Eastern to Pacific). At least in Quebec, TV Hebdo is the only TV magazine on the market (not
counting newspaper supplements).
I suppose the schedules these days for CBC, SRC, TVA, etc. are pretty standard, whether you're in
Montreal, Quebec, Sherbrooke, Ottawa, etc. Stations that have their own line ups, such as CFCF
(CTV Montreal) and CJOH (CTV Ottawa) do get their own listings.
These days, the CTV outlets are now pretty standard as well, with only a few minor variations for
news and ads.
But you'd think that somebody would send a note to the TV Hebdo editors that they see WWJ-
TV Detroit, not WTOL Toledo, as their CBS station. Or they see WXYZ Detroit as their ABC station,
not WMTW Poland Spring, Maine.
Anyone know French?
I find it surprising that after all these years (especially WTOL, which is STILL in TVH after being
pushed off CANCOM 14 years ago), they haven't changed the US stations. Over the years, there
MUST have been some readers dripping a line in regards to TVH's US listings.

Re: Retro: North Georgia Sunday, January 29, 1978
I think Cleveland's NHL team at the time was called the Barons, the same name as a minor-
league team that had been in that city from the 1930's until the early 1970's (and in fact, in the
1990's, there again was a Cleveland Barons minor-league hockey team; perhaps our own Tim
Lones can give us the timeline).
The NHL Barons bellied-up in 1978; many of their player contracts IIRC were taken over by the
old Minnesota North Stars, but those players didn't turn the North Stars into a ;legitimate
Stanley Cup contender.

Re: Retro: North Georgia Sunday, January 29, 1978
In the "Sports and Specials" feature at the front of the program
section, it does in fact say "Flames vs. Barons," yet the listing within
the body of the program section says "Cavaliers" for the Cleveland team.
I thought the Cavaliers played in the NBA, not the NHL.
And somebody asked about the Hughes Sports Network telecasts of
hockey games. I have to assume both Chs. 17 and 36 carried these games,
since on Monday, January 30, there was a game between the New York Islanders
and Buffalo Sabres that aired on Ch. 17, although on tape at 11:30 PM.

Re: Retro: Cincinnati/Dayton Mon, Feb 24, 1997
from Cincinnati Enquirer
[Dayton
WDTN 2-ABC
2:00 Ricki Lake (2 didn't clear OLTL or GH, likely due to 9's presence on cable)
3:00 Maury
4:00 Oprah Winfrey
Presence of Channel 9 on cable and Channel 12 on cable prior to 1997 (12 WKRC was the ABC
affiliate till late in 1996) was only part of the reason. Cincinnati stations all came in with grade A
signals into Dayton. 9 WCPO reached Dayton with no problem over the air as well as with cable.
Dayton and Cincinnati are only a bit over 40 miles apart. The only closer markets to each other is
Baltimore and Washington DC which are about 30 miles apart. So the VHF stations in Dayton and
Cincinnati certainly reached each other's markets with a roof top antenna with no problems and
with an indoor antenna as well in many areas. Once you get north of Dayton the signal from
Cincinnati weakens. West of Dayton, Columbus, Ohio begins to come in easily as well. Columbus
is a bit over 60 miles from Dayton so there is overlap there as well. Markets like Detroit and Flint;
Ralleigh/Durham and Greemsboro/Winston-Salem/High Point; Providence and Boston and
Manchester NH have similar distances in their respective areas that Cincinnati and Dayton do.
How well could ch 5 (low V) and the Cincy Us be picked up in Dayton (and vice versa)?
Was not WPTO - Channel 14 in Oxford, Ohio televising at this time?
Yes, but the Enquirer didn't list it...only PBS channels listed were 16, 48 and 54.

14/16 by this time at least partly simulcasting..
The note about Queen Elizabeth's 65th Birthday is interesting..I've been sharing 1953-mid-50's
era Newspaper drawings by Cartoonist Fred Reinert of the Cleveland Plain Dealer on the
Cleveland Classic Media Facebook Page. He would make a caricature of a National or Cleveland
area TV star or subject to feature every Saturday on the Plain Dealer TV pages..I've been doing
these in weekly order for a couple months now..
The December 26, 1953 drawing shows a couple of Newsworthy items during 1953-The
Eisenhower Inauguaration and the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II..If she is still with us in June,
she will have 63 years on the throne..
Here's a link to that picture (Hope it works)

Should have clarified the Happy Birthday Elizabeth listing a bit more ...the Liz referred to there is
actually Elizabeth Taylor, not HM the Queen...
Oops..Sorry for misreading..So much for all the effort that went into my post-Well, I STILL think
it's interesting..LOL

23.00 Promozionale di gioielli (Google translates this as jewelry promotion, which sounds an
awful lot like either home shopping or an infomercial )
It's almost certainly home shopping. These clips are from another Italian station, but they're
from that general time period and they'll give you some idea what such a program would have
looked like:

Superfriends on WSNS looks like another typo; This was an ABC show at the time, and was not
made available for syndication until the early 80s. Additionally, it did not air in a half-hour format
in its early seasons.
Might be the 1960's Justice League Cartoon (which was part of the 1960's Animated Superman
series (with Bud Collyer)). Since Superfriends was based on the Justice League, this could be the
likely possibility.
WFLD 32-Ind

WSNS 44-Ind
4:30 Munsters (bw)
BOTH stations could not have possibly had Munsters and Leave It To Beaver. Must have been a
typo. Hey I made similar mistakes over the years as well....MY GUESS --- From some of the old
listings I have seen WFLD NEVER had Leave It To Beaver. That I know was originally on Channel 2
there till the early 70's when it fell off that station. CBS bought that show for all their stations but
by 1976 it fell off their schedules and CBS did not need to renew it being they had better
programming committments. IN NYC Beaver would not return till 1986 on 5 WNEW TV (now
WNYW) and in Philadelphia it went to 48 WKBS TV in 1982 and when they went dark to 17
WPHL and eventually to the 90's Channel 48 WGTW.
In Chicago it did indeed move to WSNS 44 according to other sources. They had it till they went
mostly SUbscription TV in the course of 1981. Beaver did not test well until Turner's WTBS went
national (which ahd the show back then all along). At that point the demand for Beaver grew
and at that point WGN TV 9 picked it up and ran it into the 90's.
Munsters I believe was on WFLD back then and remained there till the late 80's....That is my
guess on that from 80's lietsings I have. Both shows are MCA shows though and often were on
same stations in some markets.
Munsters and the Beav ran on 44...32 ran the Stooges 4-5, with the Monkees at 5. The 3pm
show on 44 should read Superheroes (I'm guessing Marvel Super Heroes ran there, IIRC it
originally aired in the early 70s?).

The Marvel Super Heroes originally aired in the mid-sixties -- 1966, I believe.

Re: Retro: Chicago Wed, Feb 25, 1976

Actually Superfriends was not syndicated till 1981 and ran on ABC from 1976 to 1981 I believe.
Superfriends had Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Wonder Twins, and a few others all
working together. The "Superfriends" listed here are animated short made for TV cartoon
subjects with Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman individually in their own
adventures. It was actually called Superheroes and not part of Marvel Comics which had
Spiderman, Incredible Hulk, Captain America, among others. So it was Super Heroes run on TV
44
So, those DC superhero cartoons had been made by Filmation, and aired as part of various
shows, mostly on CBS, circa 1966-70.
That right. Season 1 was Superman/Superboy. Season 2 was Superman/Aquaman, and Season 3
was Superman/Batman. It should also be noted that this series was the last series done by Bud
Collyer before his death in 1969.

I have an episode of the short-lived D.B. Sweeney Fox TV show "Strange Luck" that was recorded
off KTVU in Virginia - obviously off a PrimeStar dish. What's weird is that the next week's episode
was also taped, off the local affiliate! (WFXR 27 Roanoke)
And was MSNBC Weather by Intellicast the predecessor to the now-gone NBC Weather Plus?

they're not much bigger than today's slimline dishes
slimline Dish size: 22.5 in. x 32.5 in.
primestar had 2 dish sizes. The 75e which is 37x27 and the 84e which is 40x30
Shaw Direct uses the 75e dish (under the channelmaster name) for the rural areas of Canada
(the "real" rural) for their setups

WRAL was part of PRimetime 24 back in the day. When Dish started in 1996 their PT24 feeds
were
East
WJLA ABC Washington DC
WRAL CBS Raleigh
WNBC NBC NY
FOXNET
PBS Nat'l
West
KOMO ABC Seattle
KPIX CBS SF
KNBC NBC LA
And to add to this thread, fall of 1997 brought two changes in rather quick succession to PT24.
October 1997 brought a change in CBS East- from WRAL, Raleigh to WSEE, Erie. A month later,
goodbye WJLA, Washington and hello WKRN, Nashville. In either July or August of '98, DISH
Network stopped using the PT24 feed and, with the exception of PBS, started using NYC and LA
for all the East and West feeds, respectively, and branded it it "DISHNets". Not long after that
change took effect, to round things out, KTTV from LA was added to have a "FOX West".

Top 10 Portland Shows - March 1960
This is from a May 1960 TV Guide for Portland, OR.

1. Real McCoys...34.0...Thu. 7:30...KPTV 12...ABC
2. Untouchables...31.0...Thu. 8:30...KPTV 12...ABC
3. Alfred Hitchcock...30.7...Sun. 8:30...KOIN 6...CBS
Tie Ed Sullivan...30.7...Sun. 7pm...KOIN 6...CBS
5. Gunsmoke...30.5...Sat. 9pm...KOIN 6...CBS
6. Boxing...30.2...Wed. 6pm...KPTV 12...Local
Tie G.E. Theater...30.2...Sun. 8pm...KOIN 6...CBS
8. Hawaiian Eye...29.5...Wed. 8pm...KPTV 12...ABC
9. Red Skelton...29.2...Tue. 8:30...KOIN 6...CBS
10. Wagon Train...27.3...Fri. 9pm...KGW-TV 8...NBC
It's surprising that ABC shows so well in this Telepulse rating and NBC shows so poorly. Was KPTV
such a strong station that ABC shows got more viewers? And was KGW-TV such a bad affiliate?
They were both on full-power VHF channels.
KPTV has gone through many changes over the years, according to Wikipedia. It started on
Channel 27, the world's first commercial UHF station. It was also Portland's first station, airing
programs from all four networks, ABC, NBC, CBS and Dumont. It later merged with a station on
Channel 12, and became Portland's NBC affiliate till it exchanged networks with KGW-TV,
becoming an ABC affiliate. (I wonder why you'd give up NBC for ABC in those days? Yet the ABC
affiliation didn't seem to hurt KPTV, according to these ratings.)
A few years after Independent KATU 2 signed on, they got ABC affiliation and KPTV became
independent. (Another oddity... why would a station on Channel 2 be the LAST VHF station to
sign on in Portland? They're not even in this TV Guide, debuting in 1962.) When the Fox network
began, KPTV became a Fox affiliate, where it is today.

Re: Top 10 Portland Shows - March 1960
Nationally, in the 1959-60 season ABC had seven shows in the
top 30 to NBC's five. NBC had two shows in the top ten to
ABC's one, so overall ABC was quite competitive with NBC.
It was about that time that Nielsen conducted a special survey
of the 70 markets that had an affiliate for each network, and
ABC emerged number one in those markets.
For the record, the top-30 shows for ABC and NBC:
ABC 77 Sunset Strip (tied for #6 with CBS's Father Knows Best)
The Real McCoys (#11)
The Rifleman (#13)
Lawman (#15)
Cheyenne (#17)
Maverick (#19)
Wyatt Earp (#20)
NBC Wagon Train (#2)

The Price Is Right (#8)
The Ford Show (Tennessee Ernie Ford) (#14)
You Bet Your Life (#26)
The Perry Como Show (tied for #29 with CBS's Lassie)

I don't think ABC was quite the doormat they were painted to be in those days. They had a
couple of dog years in the late 60's after the "Batman" craze fizzled, but other than that they
were very competitive with CBS and NBC, weren't they?

Not until about 1975, when shows like 'Happy Days' and 'The Six Million Dollar Man' started
gaining in popularity, along with new shows like 'Starsky and Hutch' and 'Welcome Back, Kotter'.
Aside from its 'Lone Ranger' period in the early '50s, and some successful Warner Brothers
dramas and a handful of sitcoms later, ABC was pretty much ridiculed until 'Bewitched'
premeired in 1964, the first signs of anything on that network becoming a red-hot TV property.
The early 70s were another dry patch, though they were more comparable to that late '50s-early
'60s era.

ABC did well with shows such as "Peyton Place''The FBI" and "American Bandstand" among
others.

Amazing that five of ABC's top shows are Westerns and Real McCoys is a rural comedy. NBC's top
show, Wagon Train, is also a Western, and The Ford Show is a rural variety show. And that's not
even counting Bonanza or Gunsmoke, which were so big in the 60s. Today, there are no
Westerns or rural comedies at all.
I always thought that ABC was the third network for a reason. They got into the game late, they
didn't have a notable news department, and were the last network to expand their evening
news to 30 minutes. Some ABC affiliates wouldn't even carry the ABC Evening News with John
Daly, Bill Shandel or a very young Peter Jennings.
Even if they had some successful shows, in many markets, their affiliate was not competitive
with the CBS or NBC affiliates, often having a minimal news department or none at all. In a two
VHF market, the ABC station would almost always be on UHF. Or maybe the CBS and NBC
affiliates would carry a few ABC shows as an afterthought if there was no ABC affiliate.
But I guess ABC had some successful shows and some positive years, even before the Happy
Days - GMA era where they started stealing some NBC and CBS affiliations in key markets, thanks
to their youthful demographics and successful comedies.

I had a professor in college who would say that ABC stood for "Always Budget Conscious".

ABC In Two-Station Markets (Was: Re: Top 10 Portland Shows - March 1960)
Quote Originally Posted by EJ204remarked:

The latter was the case in the Providence/New Bedford market: From 1955, when WPRO-12
(now WPRI) signed-on to join WJAR-10, both WJAR and WPRO would each carry a handful of
ABC shows (mostly prime-time) through December 31st, 1962.
On January 1st, 1963, WTEV-6 (now WLNE) signed-on, and became the ABC affiliate. Throughout
the history of it's analog signal, WTEV/WLNE was often at a disadvantage as regards it's over-the-
air signal. The reason was that WTEV/WLNE could not transmit from Rehobeth, Massachusetts
(east of Providence) as WJAR and WPRO/WPRI could because there was a Channel 6 in Portland,
Maine (WCSH).
As a result, WTEV/WLNE's analog site was southeast of Providence (the station was actually
licensed to New Bedford), first in Freetown, Massachusetts then (after 1967) Tiverton, Rhode
Island. But now, WLNE's digital transmitter is right in Rehobeth, and it's digital signal is the equal
of it's rivals.

affiliation didn't seem to hurt KPTV, according to these ratings.)
KPTV didn't choose to give up NBC. KGW landed the NBC affiliation at the same time as sister
station KING (which was also an ABC affiliate), which is where the story lies.
Dorothy Bullitt, the legendary owner of King Broadcasting, had been wanting to wrestle away
the Seattle NBC affiliation from KOMO for several years. Such a move was deemed unlikely since
KOMO had been affiliated with NBC since 1927 and the station's president, O.W. Fisher, was a
personal friend of David Sarnoff. Lower-level NBC management wasn't as enamored with KOMO,
as one vice president told Mrs. Bullitt privately that they considered it a "sloppy" operation, but
that they were in no position to terminate the affiliation without Gen. Sarnoff's blessing. Mrs.
Bullitt took it upon herself to forge a relationship with Sarnoff, getng on the guest list of events
he attended, inviting him to her home for dinner when he was in Seattle, and showing up
unannounced at his office. After years of persistence, she finally got a call from Robert Sarnoff to
come to New York at once -- NBC offered to affiliate with both KING and KGW in 1959. (Naturally,
KOMO officials reacted with shock and dismay, as losing a network affiliation of over 30 years
had been unheard-of.)

While your points are well-taken (in fact, ABC didn't get 100% clearance on its newscast until
1972), the Nielsen survey covered only the markets where each network had its own affiliate
(not where ABC had a secondary affiliation).
Between 1960-61 and ABC's breakthrough in 1975-76, here's how they looked in the top 30:
1960-61 The Real McCoys (#5)
The Untouchables (tied at #8 with The Price Is Right)
My Three Sons and 77 Sunset Strip (tied at #12)
The Flintstones (#18)
Lawman (#26)

1962-63 Ben Casey (tied at #7 with Danny Thomas)
Wagon Train (#25)
My Three Sons (#28)
The Flintstones (#30, the last time it would crack the top 30)
1963-64 The Donna Reed Show (#16)
The Patty Duke Show (#18)
McHale's Navy (tied at #22 with Hazel)
My Three Sons (#27)
The Fugitive (#28)
Ozzie And Harriet (#29)
1964-65 (arguably ABC's best year until the mid-'70s)
Bewitched (#2)
The Fugitive (#5)
Peyton Place (Thu) (#9)

Combat (#10)
My Three Sons (#13)
Peyton Place (Tue) (#20)

The Lawrence Welk Show (tied at #19 with I've Got A Secret)
1966-67 Bewitched (tied at #7 with Daktari and The Beverly Hillbillies)
The Lawrence Welk Show (tied at #10 with Gomer Pyle, The Virginian,
and Ed Sullivan)
Rat Patrol (tied at #23 with Petcoat Junction)
ABC Sunday Night Movie (#28)
The FBI (tied at #29 with I Spy, the CBS Thursday Night Movie,
and My Three Sons (now on CBS))
1967-68 Bewitched (#11)
The Lawrence Welk Show (#17)
The FBI (#22)
It Takes A Thief (tied at #30 with Lassie)

1968-69 Bewitched (tied at #11 with Mission: Impossible and Red Skelton)
The FBI (#18)
Mod Squad and Lawrence Welk (tied at #28)
1969-70 another fairly good year
Marcus Welby, M.D. (#8)
The Johnny Cash Show (tied at #15 with My Three Sons and Ironside)
Movie Of The Week (#22)
Mod Squad (#23)
Bewitched and The FBI (tied at #24 with NBC's Saturday Night At
The Movies)
in addition, The Brady Bunch, Room 222, The Courtship Of Eddie's
Father, and Love American Style would go on to respectable runs
1970-71 ABC gets its first #1 show
Marcus Welby, M.D. (#1)
Movie Of The Week (#6)
The FBI (#10)
Mod Squad (#11)
The Smith Family (#21)
The Partridge Family (tied at #25 with Carol Burnett and NBC Monday
Night At The Movies)
The ABC Sunday Night Movie (#28)
also, ABC wins the week of Jan 18-24, 1971, in part due to slicing
some of its weaker shows in preparation for the access rule
1971-72 Marcus Welby, M.D. (#3)
ABC Movie Of The Week (#5)
The Partridge Family (#16)
The FBI (#17)
Mod Squad (#21)
Monday Night Football (#25)
ABC Sunday Night Movie (#26)
Room 222 (tied at #28 with Cannon)
1972-73 Marcus Welby, M.D. (#13)
Tuesday Movie Of The Week (#17)
Monday Night Football (#18)
The Partridge Family (tied at #19 with The Waltons and
Medical Center)
ABC Sunday Night Movie and The Rookies (tied at #23)
Wednesday Movie Of The Week (tied at #25 with Barnaby
Jones and The Little People)
ABC Monday Night Movie, The FBI, Kung Fu (tied at #29)
1973-74 The Six Million Dollar Man (#11)
Happy Days (#16)
Monday Night Football (tied at #19 with the CBS Friday Night Movies)
Tuesday Movie Of The Week (#21)

Streets Of San Francisco (#22)
The Rookies (#25)
ABC Monday Night Movie (#26)
Kung Fu (tied at #27 with Carol Burnett)
1974-75 S.W.A.T. (#16)
The Rookies (tied at #18 with Disney)
Streets Of San Francisco (tied at #22 with Cher and the NBC Sunday
Mystery Movie)
1975-76 ABC wins 11 straight weeks from January to April, 1976, helped by
the Winter Olympics and "Rich Man, Poor Man."
Rich Man, Poor Man (#2)
Laverne & Shirley (#3)
The Bionic Woman (#5)
The Six Million Dollar Man (#9)
The ABC Monday Night Movie (#10)
Happy Days (#11)
The ABC Sunday Night Movie (#13)
Starsky And Hutch and Good Heavens (tied at #15)
Welcome Back, Kotter (#18)
Baretta (#22)
Donny And Marie and The Streets Of San Francisco (tied
with Bob Newhart at #26)

So on paper, at least, ABC looks a lot better than the reality. ABC never
had a great deal of success penetrating into the rural areas, was forced
to take UHF in many cities (but got VHF eventually in San Diego, Jacksonville
(for eight years), Savannah (for a couple or so years), Louisville, Baton Rouge,
Charlotte, Dayton (but is back on UHF there), and Toledo (when WTVG/13 became
an o&o) or traded up to stronger VHFs (Atlanta, Indianapolis, Minneapolis-St. Paul,
Albany, Knoxville, Milwaukee, and--for a time--Providence).
ABC also had a habit of following fads (Batman and Shindig are the classic examples)
and when they faded, the network usually had nowhere else to go. Or it would overdo
a successful format (Westerns and the imitations of 77 Sunset Strip in the late '50s/
early '60s, teen sitcoms in the '70s).
ABC has been a little more diverse in recent years (Lost, Desperate Housewives,
Grey's Anatomy, Modern Family), but I'm afraid the broadcast audience is largely
divided between CBS and Fox now.
bpatrick thanks for the excellent overview of ABC.

I recall being on vacation in July, 1960 and driving into New England and up into Maine. At one
motel, the only TV station that could be received was WMTW, Channel 8, from Poland Springs,
Maine. Interestingly, it was an ABC-TV affiliate at a time when that network was considered in
third-place far behind NBC and CBS. I later read that due to that station's transmitter and tower
being on Mount Washington in New Hampshire, it reached into several states along with
Canada.

Yeah, both WMTW 8 and 94.9 WMTQ/WHOM on top of Mount Washington have interesting
histories and incredible coverage areas.
WMTQ started as a weather station, sending info from Mount Washington to the government
weather office in Boston, since the top of the mountain has such unusual weather. Somehow,
that transitioned to a commercial FM station and a TV station. Being on a the tallest mountain in
the Northeast allowed Channel 8 to hit not just the Portland market but made WMTW the
original ABC affiliate for the Burlington-Plattsburgh market, and in turn, for Montreal.
Because Mount Washington was too far from Portland to allow WMTW to be licensed as a
Portland station, they put the studios in a hotel in the resort community of Poland Spring, about
25 miles north of Portland, and that turned out to be the TV station's unusual city of license, one
of the smallest communities to have a TV station licensed to it. Even though there's no real
municipality of Mount Washington, there is a post office at the top of the mountain, so people
buying post cards could have them postmarked with that name. That's how the FM got Mount
Washington as its city of license.
I remember when my family spent a week at a cottage on a lake just outside Newport VT, near
the Canadian border. We got three TV stations perfectly: 7, 8 and 9. Tele-Metropole 7 and Radio-
Canada 9 were in French from Sherbrooke Quebec, and WMTW 8 from Mt. Washington. If we
wanted to try to catch NBC or CBS from Plattsburgh and Burlington, they were barely watchable
in the day and only a bit better at night. I'm sure many people in northern VT, NH, Maine as well
as Quebec, were disappointed a few years ago when, in anticipation of digital TV coming,
WMTW was relocated to a tower about 20 miles west of Portland. The top of Mt. Washington
was a great place to be in analog days but not in the digitial era, especially with an increasing
population along the Maine coast south of Portland.

Given that WMTW-8 had no local midday newscast, I wonder if the 6:30 A.M. newscast was live
or a rebroadcast of the previous night's 11 P.M. newscast??
I couldn't imagine WMTW having a studio crew for a half-hour morning newscast and cut-ins
during "Good Morning America" and not having any more local programming until 6 P.M.

WMTW 8- ABC- Poland Spring
5:45- PTL Club

Which meant we were likely broadcasting Jim Bakker from the peak of Mount Washington
to the outer reaches of Nova Scotia someplace.
Sorry about that, Canada! ;D

IIRC, "Donahue" since WCVB was on a Talk show binge at the time based on the schedule.

Will you guys please answer my question, I want to know if WPXT aired The Super Mario Bros
Super Show.
Only Quebec got subjected to Bakker via TV8...we got him in the Maritimes through WVII-that
was bad enough, given some of ch 7's production values at the time

Re: Retro: North Georgia Saturday, January 28, 1978
Regarding the hockey game between Buffalo and Pittsburgh aired on this date in 1978:
In the 1977/78 season, the NHL and Hughes Sports Network partnered on a deal for syndicated
NHL games including the playoffs and the Stanley Cup Finals.
There were Monday night and Saturday afternoon games. The Saturday games, although starting
at 1:15 P.M. EST (with pre-game at 1 EST), were offered either in a full three-hour version or a
two-hour version that would be joined in progress at 2 EST.
It is my understanding that most of the stations carrying this package picked-up the games in
progress at 2 EST. WSBK-38 in Boston was the only station in a city outside of stations in the two
cities whose local teams were involved to pick-up every game of the Saturday package in full.
Can I assume that WATL-36 also carried games of the then-Atlanta Flames that season, or did
WTCG-17 carry them?? In most cases, stations in NHL cities that picked up the NHL/Hughes
package in the late 1970's were also the flagship stations for their local team's broadcasts.

I should have read the January 29th, 1978 North George listings before replying to the listings
regarding the NHL game on WATL-36 that day. :-[
I think there was only one other city where the late 1970's NHL/Hughes Sports Network telecasts
were not on the same station as the local NHL team's broadcasts, and that was New York.
WOR-9 was flagship for the Rangers and Islanders'; but WPIX-11 carried the NHL/Hughes Sports
telecasts.

These network affiliates prrempted quite a bit of Satruday and Sunday cartoons. NBC affiliate
WSB TV Atlanta preempted the Noon hour which this week was a Quiz SHow special. Channel 3
Chattanooga preempted the 9 AM show Space Sentinals for Three Stooges. 5 WAGA preempted
Fat Albert at Noon, Space Academy at 1230, and Children's Film Festival at 130 in favor of news,
Kidsworld, and Soul Train. They also preempted the Sunday Morning hour of reruns including
Ghostbusters and Waco. 9 WTVC Chattanooga ran the entire Saturday Morning Cartoon lineup
but ran Animals Animals Saturday instead of Sunday and preempted the other hour of Sunday
Morning cartoons. 11 WXIA was preempting Weekend Special and like Channel 9, 11 Atlanta was
not running the same hour of Sunday Morning Cartoons. 12 WDEF Chattanooga as a CBS affiliate
was in WAGA's League. They preempted What's New Mr Magoo and Children's Film Festival.
They also preempted the same Sunday Morning Cartoons as Channel 5 Atlanta did. 13 WMAZ
Macon also preempted Children's Film Festival and Sunday Morning cartoons. Channel 41
Macon did run the entire NBC lineup Saturday mornings. NBC though had no Sunday cartoons to
speak of.
The CBS Sunday morning cartoon reruns were preempted by 75 % of CBS affiliates while most
ABC affiliates did clear Sunday Mornings. But here in Atlanta if you wanted SUnday Morning
network cartoons you were out of luck. No affiliate in the area ran them. In most areas for ABC
at least you could find an ABC affiliate in a neighboring market with cable that did run the lineup
if yours did not in most cases. Surprised that WATL did not pick this stuff up.

8:30 Sneak Preview (the NBC TV-movie "Midway")
...is that how TV Guide described the program? I know this was the first season of PBS
distribution of Sneak Previews from WTTW/11 Chicago, and that Midway had actually been a
theatrical film released by Universal in June 1976, when the show was still local to WTTW and
titled Coming Soon...to a theater near you. I know NBC aired a specially-constructed TV version
of Midway that Universal had provided them, which was over half an hour longer than the
theatrical cut and took two nights to run in prime time. Given all of these facts, I suspect this was
actually an edition of Sneak Previews on which Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert reran and/or
updated their critiques of the theatrical cut of Midway from a June 1976 edition of Coming
Soon....

NBC had just acquired the Archie characters, who had been on CBS nearly a decade, and
launched "The Archie-Sabrina Hour" in the fall of '77. The decision was made months later to
split the show in two, with "Bang Shang Lalapalooza" featuring Archie and pals, and "Super
Witch" with Sabrina. NBC'sother Filmation-produced cartoon, "Space Sentinels," had just had its
title changed from "The Young Sentinels." At the close of one episode I remember seeing, the
trailer for the next episode had the word "Young" blanked out; they didn't have time for the
announcer to re-record the blurb. "On the next episode of 'The (no audio) Sentinels'...."

The TV Guide listing for "Sneak Previews" is just as I put it.
NBC was about to make a massive overhaul of its Saturday-
morning lineup; starting Feb. 4 it would look like this:
7:30 I Am The Greatest
8 AM Hong Kong Phooey
8:30 Go Go Globetrotters
10:30 Pink Panther
11 AM Baggy Pants And The Nitwits
11:30 Space Sentinels
12 N Land Of The Lost
12:30 Thunder
CBS had made several changes that very Saturday (Jan. 28):
8 AM Three Robonic Stooges (separate from "Skatebirds")
8:30 Speed Buggy (returns)
11:30 Secrets Of Isis (new time)
12:30 Space Academy (new time)

All of this was in response to ABC's dominance of Saturday morning at the time.

Got some questions, bp:
1) WMAZ: "Match Game" in the daytime is apparently not OK for central Georgia, but in PTAR,
it's just fine. That, my friend, is what we call in Alabama "sho' nuff strange."
2) WETV: Did channel 30 do a lot of local production at this point, to the level that, say, Georgia
ETV (now GPB) did? I recall some hard-copy skeds I have from the early '70s where WETV had
only B&W capability for local origination--I think one of them was a City Council or school board
meeting. As you know, on some municipally-owned stand-alone stations, such broadcasts were a
regular feature in the days before community access on cable.
3) So WATL was still carrying network pre-emptions as late as 1978? I thought most indies had
more or less quit that by this point, especially in daytime. I would think that it stopped
completely in the ATL after WSB and WXIA flipped nets in '80 (the skeds you've posted from that
time frame probably prove that). And to boot, the station was still running Bozo and even had
what looks like an hour-long sportscast. Wonder if Bozo was still local? It would make sense
when you consider that the famed "Officer Don" of Atlanta's TV past was the owner of channel
36. I bet even money that sportscast was an experiment that didn't work--although in later
years, talk radio stations would employ that approach in the early evening.
4) And the main event for discussion: comparing the split secular-religious approaches of WANX
and WRIP. We know Pat Robertson was WANX's owner, and that most of his OTA properties were
more or less preludes to his hugely successful CBN cable operation. I always imagined Robertson
did something like this: basic to his evangelistic strategy via broadcasting was to lure selected
demo groups like children and older people with straight-ahead, squeaky-clean fare most of the
day. Robertson then hoped that said people would stay tuned for blocks, strategically placed at
lunch and prime times, of "The 700 Club" and a couple of other Christian shows, keeping them
away from what he (and his followers) felt was dirty, degenerate programming on the network
affils and secular indies. And if the children and grandparents were watching, maybe they could
persuade Mom and Dad to tune in, and perhaps the whole family would undergo a conversion
experience. "700 Club" was itself modeled on the secular talkfests on the tube day and night
rather than the traditional "preaching-and-teaching" model of evangelical religious broadcasting
that had dominated both radio and TV up to that time. As such, it lured some people in who
would have been turned off otherwise by the stereotypical stentorian, sanctimonious-sounding
evangelists of yore.
I am sure all of this was at least Robertson's ideal, and he refined it to a well-oiled machine when
CBS cable went national. We, of course, do not need to go into his political or religious views
here; they have been discussed to death on other sites. But I think there is little question that his
religious and political empire was founded on his decision not to take the "Holy Joe" road and
accommodate secular, suburban lifestyles. For Atlanta, one could not ask for a better strategy.
Now, by contrast, up in Chattanooga, WRIP was a struggling indie that operated in a market most
unlike Atlanta, not only in demographics (much more culturally conservative to start with,
predominantly rural and probably aging, with farm life in disarray by the '70s and kids leaving by
the droves for cities), but also in the fact that the only other UHF was public station WTCI,
meaning that a lot of folks didn't typically tune to UHF for any reason (compared with three
other Us in the ATL). From what I read on that bastion of reliable info, Wikipedia (!), WRIP was
owned by a man who more or less decided to forego competing against channels 3, 9, and 12
and earn his moolah by doing the old Christian radio (or Sunday morning TV) bit and selling
blocks of airtime to local preachers. Traditional indie fare was, to him, placeholders that would
be shoved aside when an evangelist or church opted to buy time, which may have been as cheap
as some radio stations, perhaps (given that some of the religious-formatted ones likely had a
larger audience than channel 61). Although not airing on this particular day, at times WRIP
carried Robertson and Jim Bakker's PTL program, as might be suspected. Still, I am pretty sure
that the programs of Rich and Repass on channel 61 were of the "preaching-and-teaching"
variety I mentioned before that the CBN stations spurned most of the time--other than probably
Sundays.
It wasn't until another owner took over in the early '80s (and with new calls, WDSI), that 61
finally began to make an impact on the Chattanooga DMA Nielsens, partly by a UHF antenna
giveaway (they were mostly worthless in other places due to cable penetration), and partly by
ditching most of the preachers. Besides, with cable gradually picking up steam, religion began to
retreat somewhat from OTA, even locally. By the time FOX started up in '86, WDSI was pretty
much mainstream, with religion only on Sundays. The same happened in the ATL on 46 when
Tribune bought WANX from Robertson in '84. All of this seems ironic when one considers the
clout evangelicals and fundamentalists had on American politics at the time, but the Robertsons
and the Bakkers (before the '87 scandals that took his empire down) of the world were one step
ahead of everybody and jumped to newly-developing technologies as fast as they could. OTA
was needed in the Seventies; cable was the wave of the future.
Now, here's the question: which station, in its own particular place, was the more successful
with religious programming, WANX or WRIP? Or to put it in their terms, who would have saved
more souls?
An anxious RD.com board awaits ...

At the time, 700 was practically along the same lines as Mike Douglas or Merv Griffin, but with a
Christian slant -- popular, mainstream guests, alongside those from the Christian field, all there
mainly to talk about Christianity. Today's 700, however, is mainly nothing more than Pat
Robertson's soapbox, complaining about how modern society is ruining Christianity.

WANX was owned by CBN but not the model of what CBN Cable would be. WANX had typical
independent station shows including cartoons, sitcoms, old movies, westerns. WYAH in VA Beach
and KXTX Dallas had similar formats. WANX had Christian shows as well but that occupied 4 or 5
hours a day (the typical late morning slots which many indies programmed that way as well as
the late evening run of the 700 Club). CBN Cable focused on more older westerns, sitcoms that
most over the air stations abandoned back in the 60's, reruns of game shows, family dramas, and
even older movies than CBN stations. So the two had different programming types. WXNE
Boston when they signed on in 77, though was closer formatted to CBN Cable initially because
they had 2 strong independents that had all the viable shows. But WXNE began to evolve from
1980 to 1985 to more of a traditional indie with more recent sitcoms and common cartoons.
That station though never surpassed WSBK or WLVI till the 90's - many years after Fox got the
station. In fact the station did worse for the first several years Fox owned 25 Boston which
became WFXT.
WANX had a typical budget of an independent station and basically bid for competitive
programming. Sunday was an exception. WANX was only Christian programming till September
of 1980. At that point from October 1980 on, WANX ended religion at 10 AM Sunday (even
earlier than some secular stations did), and ran cartoons till noon, westerns and movies till about
7 PM and back to Christian shows by 7 or 8 PM. All the other CBN stations also changed Sunday
policy at the same time. This was done company wide, even at WXNE Boston who eventually
ended Sunday religion at 8 AM and resumed it at 7 PM Sundays. WXNE did not exist till 1977.
WYAH came on in 1961 with only religious shows and all produced by CBN and by 1964 began
selling time and began airing Sundays as well. They were only on the air 6 hours a day, WYAH
began adding an hour or two a day of low budget secular shows in 1967. Still in 1971 WYAH was
only on the air 6 to 8 hours a day. WANX signed on as well as KXTX Dallas in early 70's - by 1972.
Those two stations also only were on the air 8 hours a day as well with only a couple hours of
secular shows a day.
In 1972, WYAH began expanding to about 12 hours a day and bought a few higher budget shows
as they fell off other stations in that market. It was a graduaal process. By the start of 1973
WYAH was on by 10 AM and on the air till 1 AM, about 15 hours a day. Down in Dallas though a
competing station on Channel 39 went dark. They donated their station, license, and
programming to CBN which had KXTX 33 which was still on about 8 hours a day. CBN then
combined the assets of the 2 stations, shut down TV 33 and sold it to a minority owner that used
it for other religion and spanish entertainment shows, and combined what 33 had run in the
past and 39 and merged the 2 general entertainment stations to TV 39 which also took KXTX
calls. KXTX then began broadcasting from 7 AM to 1 AM. In the course of 1973, TV 27 Virginia
Beach expanded to 7 AM and then 6 AM sign ons by the fall. So WYAH grew mostly from early
1972 to the fall of 1973. WANX was still on about 8 hours a day in early 1973 but by the summer
was on from 10 AM on with far more secular shows. WANX went back and fourth like most
secular indies of the time...some times of the year from 74 to 75, WANX came on by 7 AM -
other times of the year by 10 AM. By late in 1975 WANX too was on the full typical broadcast day
from 6 AM to about 2 AM.
All three CBN stations began with 5 hours a day or religion and 2 hours of secular low budget
stuff and all religious Sundays. As these stations expanded their day, though they expanded by
adding secular shows except on Sundays. The shows they bought initially were second hand but
high budget shows as the day expanded and by 1975 began bidding for newly off network
syndicated shows as well. So it was a growth process.
WRIP though was locally owned. The owner was likely a Christian but he ran the station like a
business. His Christian views were not really the reason he ran the station the way he did. In fact
WRIP signed on with about 15 hours a day of programming and it was all secular except sundays.
They ran only old movies from the 30's to the 50's and theatrical cartoons and film shorts. they
had no off network fare, all theatrical stuff. Sundays they had a few hours of religion but movies
and shorts the rest of the day. They were positioned as a MOVIE STATION. They signed on in
1972.
In 1973 the station had financial problems and had problems selling ads and buying viable
shows. They bought a few very cheap shows and took some free barter shows. They also began
just simply selling time slots to whoever would buy the time. There were a large amount of
fundamentalist, evangelical, and pentecostal churches, both black and white that were anxious
to get on the air so they just began buying time on WRIP. By 1975, WRIP was almost entirely
bought time. Time they could not sell, they inserted whatever cheap or free product they had
access to. They did run both PTL Club and 700 Club but at times they were not always listed in
some listings in the 70's.
From the years 1976 to 1979, WRIP was on about 15 hours a day and slod all but a couple hours
a day to anyone that would buy the time. Most were trinitarian churches of some sort while
some may have been non Christian religious sects. Their positions had little to do with them
being on WRIP. WRIP was all about selling time. By the winter of 1981, WRIP was down to only
30 minutes a day of secular shows.
In the Fall under the same owner, it was decided that WRIP would evolve to become a traditional
commercial independent. They began buying some MCA shows like Munsters and Leave It To
Beaver and McHale's Navy; Paramount shows like Star Trek and Brady Bunch, barter cartoons
like Superfriends, Bullwinkle, and Underdog, and a couple low budget shows they had on the
shelf all along. In teh fall of 1981, WRIP was secular from 2 PM to 7 PM weekdays, and about 8
hours Saturdays, and a couple hours Sunday. In the course of 1982, WRIP bought a few shows
from Viacom like I Love Lucy, more movies, some drama shows and became secular from 2 PM
to about 10 PM. They scaled back bought time. In the fall of 1982, WRIP added a morning
cartoon block as well. This happened under one owner that owned them since the mid 70's. I
think they were planning to sell the station by 1981 and began dressing the station to sell it.
They sold the station in 1983.
They sold to another local owner in 1983. By then the WRIP conversion was well underway. Its
new owners just completed the transition. They re-imaged the staion and it became WDSI. They
would eventually sell teh station to a mid-sized company by 1987.
That is what I gather from what I have seen on this board from their schedules and what I read
about the station. I believe that today there is not a trace of the WRIP days. I even think they are
in a different location. Today they are a typical Small to medium market Fox affiliate, talk shows,
court shows, reality shows, recent sitcoms, local news, and Fox prime time shows, and Fox
Sports programming including NASCAR & NFL.

The difference in the two "Match Game"s comes down
to money; WMAZ could sell all the nightme ads. WAGA
also carried "Match Game PM" but not the CBS version.
WATL carried programs pre-empted by WSB, WAGA, and
WXIA almost from the beginning in 1976. But in the '80s
a lot of the pre-empted network shows went to Ch. 69,
which wasn't on the air in '78.
And Ch. 30 did produce a lot of its own programming, like

WTVI/42 in Charlotte, which is owned by the Charlotte-
Mecklenburg school board. Neither station is part of the
statewide public-TV network.

You're our ever-reliable encyclopedia on facts about traditional TV, bp. Sum it up, money talks
and we-know-what walks. It's just in the wide open now, unlike then when we were all less
sophisticated about the biz. As for ETV, the Charlotte-Atlanta and North Carolina-Georgia parallel
is right on. I'm sure the cities were far more enthusiastic (and at an earlier point) than the state
governments were about ETV. Hence the stand-alone stations starting up before the state nets.

I see WDEF had a "Morning Show" at 6:30 - no one in the Atlanta market even put a newsbreak
around 6:30?

At the time, no, but I don't remember too many stations that
did (WFMY's "Good Morning Show" and WBRC's "Morning Show"
with Tom York come to mind, along with a half-hour newscast
on WRAL). Back around '73, WAGA had had "Atlanta A.M." and
WXIA had had "Good Morning Atlanta" and "Rise And Shine," but
all were dismal failures.
The next time the Atlanta affiliates would try early-morning news
would come with the WSB/WXIA switch in 1980: WSB (now ABC)
started a new "Good Morning Atlanta" program at 6 AM, whilr WXIA
(now NBC) had "Today With Hal (Suit) and Guy (Sharpe) (formerly
with WSB and WAGA, respectively)" at 6:30.
Interestingly, Channels 17 and 46 did have early-morning newscasts
for much of the '70s; 17 did 20 minutes at 6:10 AM, while 46 did 15
minutes at 6:45.

President Jimmy Carter made a nationally-televised that evening which CBS refused to carry live,
opting instead to stick to the TV movie "She How She Runs", which had been heavily promoted.
CBS did carry the speech on tape later that night.

Retro: This Week in TV Guide, February 25, 1961 - MSP Edition
James Hagerty, ABC News executive and former Eisenhower press secretary, offers some
interesting rules for TV newsmen. The youth in France are in turmoil - can US kids be far behind?
Candid Camera, Life Magazine, a lame ad for The Flintstones and a really clever one for Chex -
that and more in an issue that starts, however obliquely, to show some of the cracks forming in
American culture.
And now, your listings for the Twin Cities for Wednesday, March 1, 1961. Note that Channel 2's
schedule includes "The Gustavus Adolphus Hour" at 8pm and "The Hamline College Hour" at
8:30pm, each running for 30 minutes. As a graduate of Hamline, I can only observe that if this is
how these institutes measured time, it would explain a lot...

Interesting to see Randy Merriman with a local show. He
was host of "The Big Payoff" from 1951 to 1957--exactly
six years in fact (Dec. 31-Dec. 31). I've read somewhere
that his family was never really happy in New York, and that
he left to start the local Minneapolis program you probably
have listed here (he was a native of Minneapolis, BTW). I
also think he spent most of his later years in Florida. He
passed away in 2005 and was in his 90s at the time.
However, during his years on "Payoff" he suffered the same
fate as Pat Sajak much later: taking a back seat to the model/
hostess on the show; Bess Myerson was to Merriman what
Vanna White is to Sajak. I don't know about Merriman but Sajak
has never seemed to mind being upstaged by Vanna.

Perhaps the kid in the Flintstones ad was Arnold the paperboy, since this was a few years before
Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm.

Very interesting - thanks for the info. I don't remember his TV show, but I fondly remember his
voice from WCCO radio. It's also nice to know that he's in the Museum of Broadcasting Hall of
Fame.

Personally, I wouldn't mind being upstaged by Bess Myerson myself!

I cannot speak for your area, but I found a site which has archived most Miami News issues,
including TV listings days and weekends:
http://www2.palmbeachpost.com/projec...=9&submit.y=10
Kinda hard to navigate, bu I got the hang of it. Maybe here are other metros which archive the
papers. NOTE: he Miami News is defunct, last issue in 1988. "Living" newspapers might charge
for info online.
cd
In my case, the information comes from the TV Guides, but I'm trying to think of the newspapers
in that area that might have had significant information. There's the Echo Press in Alexandria,
and the Sun Tribune in Morris, which was the nearest daily newspaper to where we lived at the
time. Just let me know if there's anything in particular you're looking for - a fair number of the
TV Guides I've got have listings from KCMT.
Thanks for you response. Just in general anything from the late 60's through the 70's for KCMT. I
am interested in weekdays and weekends. I would be interested in anything for KCMT. If you
could post more, or message me some schedules it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hey Rowdyjoe, happy to oblige. I'll dig through and see what I can come up with - I know there's
some fairly interesting stuff out there, and I'll put them both here and on the blog. After that, if
there's anything you want me to follow up on, just let me know!

KIRO had two five-minute news blocks in the early evening and a fifteen minute 'cast

9:00 Green Acres (c/the gang perform their own version of the Beverly Hillbillies for a charity
play)
With Oliver as Jethro, Lisa as Granny ("Out by the see-ment pound"), and Hank Kimball as
Jed...That show could pull off the most bizarre, left field stuff.
Even more bizarre considering that the Clampetts themselves visited Hooterville in the later
season BH/PJ/GA crossover episodes. So, are Jed & family just fictional TV characters in the
world of PJ/GA, or do they live in the same "universe?" Personally, given my disdain for those
contrived crossovers, I like to think that they were actually just weird dreams brought on by
Betty Jo's cooking and/or the effects of Granny's "rheumatiz medicine."

Re: CBS Schedule Monday, March 20, 1989
CBS' Card Sharks, at this point, would be in its final days on the air, as the final episode aired on
March 31st. It would be replaced by a short-lived revival of Now You See It (which in turn was
replaced by daytime Wheel of Fortune by that mid-July).

"World News Now" was the original name of ABC's overnight newscast;
the 6:30 PM one was still "World News Tonight" (since renamed "World
News With Diane Sawyer").
It's always interesting to me to see what happened to "Family Feud" when it aired on ABC, if it
didn't air at noon, where (if anywhere) it was slotted. Interesting strategy to put a syndicated
sitcom rerun on in "Feud"'s timeslot and, and air it three hours earlier.
My source covers Sun-Sat, so I can post listings for the 27th-the Saturday listings would be for
the following Saturday, March 5th.

- Amanda Goad (of Maggie Walker - when she later win the 1996 Jeopardy! Teen Tournament)

No Bob Barker in San Francisco - that's "Group W's Way!" Replace it with talk shows...

KXTV was running Guiding Light??? I remember them dropping Guiding Light in early 1992. Since
then it never returned even when CBS affiliation moved to KOVR and even after CBS bought
KOVR in 2005.
That was a typo...KXTV ran Bertice Berry at 2pm.

Actually in the fall of 1991, KXTV began preempting Price Is Right and kept Guiding Light but CBS
Network asked them to reinstate Price Is Right because Group W's KPIX was preempting Price.
So KXTV decided to preempt the lowest rated CBS Show of the day Guiding Light and early in
1992, it was dropped. Complaints were much lower than anyone would think. So KXT continued
preempting Guiding Light. Cable Systems were carrying KPIX in the area anyway.
By 1995, when KXTV and Belo signed a deal with ABC, CBS went to KOVR by default. KOVR
continued the practice of not running Guiding Light based on KXTV's conclusions. So we could
thank Belo and KXTB for starting that preemption.
It was thought in 2005 that CBS would reinstate Guiding Light but they even did not do that.
They even felt the show had such low ratings that they would not even make their own station
carry it. Plus CBS was looking to dump the show anyway. They did 4 years later. Today KOVR runs
CBS's entire lineup. During Guiding Light's final years KOVR went out of their way to NOT run
Guiding Light. Personally I would have either put it on co-owned Channel 31 CW or run it
overnights on KOVR. By 2005, cable systems no longer carried KPIX anymore.

Didn't KOFY pick it up at one point?

Yes, for most of the 80s, but it had been gone for a few years by '93.

Re: Retro; New York City, Thursday, February 19, 1948
I believe CBS had not yet begun to fed programs to other cities; but DuMont and NBC already
were serving stations in other cities.
I would think that as of February 19th, 1948, the two networks had these stations as affiliates:
* DuMont:
- WABD-5 New York (flagship)
- WTTG-5 Washington (O&O)
- WFIL-6 Philadelphia (would share DuMont and ABC when the latter went on the air)
- WRGB-4 (later Channel 6) Schenectady/Albany (also affiliated with NBC; would also get ABC
and CBS affiliations when those networks began feeding regular programs later that year).
* NBC:
- WNBT-4 New York (network flagship)

- WPTZ-3 Philadelphia (now CBS-owned KYW-TV)
- WMAR-2 Baltimore (I believe it was shared with DuMont)
- WNBW-4 Washington (O&O)
- WRGB Schenectady
I don't think either network was yet making kinescope recordings for non-connected stations
(they would do so later that year).

Re: Retro: Alabama Tuesday, August 14, 1962
I couldn't imagine the short-lived late-night ABC newscast airing twice on the same station on
the same night.
Could the WTVM-9 listing had been in error and either local news aired from 10 to 10:15 P.M.
EST, or another local newscast aired at 12 Midnight EST??

Or possibly Ch. 9 aired local news from 10-10:15 and delayed
ABC's newscast to midnight; in later years, when ABC had late
newscasts on weekends only, it was common for affiliates to
delay them until just before sign-off.
There are a number of errors in this edition of TV Guide, and
you just may have hit one.

Living in Birmingham, this is fascinating. I was only 2-1/2 in August '62, so I don't remember this.
What gets me is that WBRC not only carried several CBS soaps (I remember that), but they also
managed to squeeze in an NBC show not cleared by Channel 13. So, the question begs, were
there any other NBC shows that Channel 6 carried that week? (I'm assuming you have the
complete edition). I know that Channel 6 picked up the AFL package from NBC in the days before
Channel 42 signed on.
And wacky as it might sound, did Channel 13 end up with any ABC shows that week?

"The Lively Ones" was the only NBC show on 6 that week;
13 did not have any ABC shows and, to my knowledge, never
has, unless it was in the earliest days of Birmingham TV, for
which I have no listings (Russell Wells may be able to help
you there).

Until Channel 6 dropped CBS for ABC in '61, Channel 13 was a secondary ABC affiliate. I know I've
seen listings from the '50's that showed Channel 13 carrying such ABC shows as "The Name's the
Same" and Disney.

I don't doubt it but that was '61 and these listings are from '62.
We had a similar situation in Raleigh/Durham; WRAL switched from
NBC to ABC about two weeks before these listings (August 1, to
be exact) and held onto a few NBC daytime shows even after the
switch ("Today," "Play Your Hunch," "Young Dr. Malone," "Our Five
Daughters," and "Make Room For Daddy"), as well as "Wagon Train"
at night. Prior to the switch both WRAL and WTVD had secondary
ABC affiliations; unlike Birmingham's Channel 13, WTVD became a

CBS primary/NBC secondary after the switch.
And WRAL did carry a few CBS programs in the '60s: Jackie Gleason,
nightme "Password," "I've Got A Secret," and "Stump The Stars" (the
renamed "Pantomime Quiz"), the latter two on delay, in the 1962-63 season;
it also carried "My Three Sons" even after the switch to CBS. But WTVD
would not carry another ABC program until it became an o&o in 1985.
I can still give you the 10 AM-5 PM daytime schedules for Raleigh/Durham
immediately after the '62 switch:

That's the first I've been aware of 6 airing an NBC show in the '60s! I scanned this listing, and it
slipped right past me.
Yes, 13 was ABC secondary prior to 1961 ... even then, its carriage of ABC product was quite slim.
Prior to about 1968, WBRC-6 retained some of the high-rated CBS soaps. But that NBC entry IS
most puzzling. Then again, "puzzling" just about describes Birmingham television in the 1960s!

By the time I moved to Birmingham in the summer of '69, the
only soaps left on 6 were the existing ABC ones: "General
Hospital" (2 PM), "One Life To Live" (2:30), and "Dark Shadows"
(3 PM). 13 and 42 divided the CBS soaps; 13 had "Search For
Tomorrow," "As The World Turns," "Love Is A Many Splendored
Thing," and "Guiding Light"; 42 had "Love Of Life," "Secret Storm,"
and "Edge Of Night," and would add "Where The Heart Is" in September.
Of course, 42 got all the CBS soaps when it became the market's
exclusive CBS affiliate (sorry, Tuscaloosa and Anniston were separate
markets then) in May 1970, while 13 got all the NBC soaps: "Days Of
Our Lives," "The Doctors," "Another World," "Bright Promise," and "Somerset."

True confession: in the fall of '66 I was in the first grade. Before starting to school, I made a
regular habit out of watching the 10:30 reruns of Dick Van Dyke on Channel 42, then switching
over to Channel 13 to watch Jeopardy! There was a day, maybe five or six weeks after I started to
school that I realized just how much I was missing Rob and Laura and the crew and Uncle Art.
Being the enterprising young lad that I was I decided around 9:30 or so that I had a stomach
ache and that my mom needed to come to the school to take me home. Being that we lived only
four blocks from the school, my mom made it there in no time flat, and we were back home by
10:30. Amazingly, my stomach ache was miraculously cured by 11:30. When my mom caught
onto my little charade, she threatened me within an inch of my life!
I don't think I've had another stomach ache in the 46+ years since...

Considering that most in-school programs were 15 minutes long, better off being plural.

Ch. 41 was then an affiliate of Spanish

Actually, the station was an O&O -- and a founding station of SIN, which later became Univision.

Can you post listings for Saturday, March 26, 1977 and Sunday, March 27, 1977?
Thanks for the San Antonio listing for March 1977 on weekdays. Brings back my childhood
watching what was on back when I was a kid here in Texas. I remember watching Bewitched and
Emergency One! in the afternoons.

KENS - Channel 5 (CBS)

Saturday:
1 AM : Nightflight '77 (The Millionaire, Wild Wild West, Movie: "The Farmer's Daughter") ( til 6
AM)
Did they really show reruns of the 50's series "The Millionaire"? I didn't even know that they
reran The Millionaire because all of the classic retro listings I have seen don't list it except when
it was on CBS daytime.
Sunday:
11 AM: First Baptist Church
Usually aired on KSAT-12, possibly aired on Channel 5 due to Easter Seals Telethon on KSAT.
...I recall WTMJ-TV/4 Milwaukee also rerunning "The Millionaire" as part of their weekend late
night package of vintage TV films around the same time ("Topper," "Thriller" and "One Step
Beyond" were also elements of WTMJ's package IIRC)...
KENS really did run "The Millionaire," John Beresford
Tipton, Michael Anthony, and all. "Nightflight '77" was
a five-hour program that also included live entertainment,
originated (IIRC) in Austin, and was hosted by Casey
Martin. It also aired on KPRC/2 Houston, KXAS/5 Dallas/
Ft. Worth, and KTBC/7 Austin.
WBTV/3 Charlotte also ran "The Millionaire" as part of

its "Those Were The Years" series on Friday nights,
but not every week as these Texas stations did.

A little off-topic, but seeing that San Antonio was a three-station English-commercial town
(before Channel 35 signed-on in '85), who carried Spurs games on TV in those days?

Yes, it was Channel 12. I remember going outside and turning our antenna trying to tune in a
1979 Spurs-76ers playoff game at our house some 120 mi S of San Antonio. Our antenna was
pointed toward Corpus Christi. Messed up the reception on the local channels, but we were able
to pull in KSAT fairly decent (well enough to see the game).
bpatrick, if you could post some of those Corpus listings from those old TV Guides, that would be
nice
I did'nt see any wrestling. Joe Blanchard or Paul Boesch had to have a show airing somewhere.
Maybe even Fritz Adkisson "Von Erich".
It wouldn't have aired on Monday. I think Blanchard was running SA by then.
...indeed he was, and he was hooked up with Verne Gagne's AWA and frequently brought in Nick
Bockwinkel when he held the AWA belt...

I figured it was Channel 12...looking at some older NBA media guides I used to have, I know they
(along with KABB at some point as well) carried Spurs games into the late 90s. I do know that
KENS and KMYS have shared the over-the-air rights for the last decade. The Spurs are still one of
those few teams in the NBA where there's more games on over-the-air (10 on KENS, 31 on
KMYS--41 total) than on cable (31 on FSN Southwest).
Again, sorry to go off-topic with this.
"Nightflight '77" was
a five-hour program that also included live entertainment,

Martin.
Was this show, by chance, related to the later, more familiar "Night Flight" that aired on USA?
The USA show was also a variety of films, shorts and music.
I've wondered the same thing, but I'll have to leave it to someone else
to answer.
KSAT Ch. 12 (ABC)
9 AM Mike Douglas
10 AM Formby's Antique Furniture
Workshop
Formby's was supposed to be a once-a-month daytime program, I believe. If that is the case,
then did Mike Douglas air for 90 minutes or was there another program airing at 10 a.m.?

The "Nightflight '77" program was an all-night thing
(Sunday mornings 1-6 AM) out of Austin, hosted by
Casey Martin. It consisted of "Wild Wild West," "The
Millionaire," a movie, and live entertainment between
segments, and was seen on four stations: KPRC/2
Houston, KENS/5 San Antonio, KXAS/5 Fort Worth-Dallas,
and KTBC/7 Austin. I can't prove it but it may have been

the model for the later "Night Flight."

WTMJ picked up some shows from CBS, ABC and Dumont in its early days. According

Re: Retro: Chicago TV Guide - Monday, June 21, 1954
Regarding Paul Dixon at 2:00 P.M. on WGN, Channel 9 and pantomimes. Dixon's show originated
at WCPO-TV, Channel 9, in Cincinnati and was picked up by stations on the Dumont Network
(WCPO-TV was also an ABC-TV affiliate then). That show had Dixon, Dote Mack and Wanda
Lewis pantomiming both popular and novelty records. Dote Mack was later on the ABC-TV
Network doing the same on a show called, "Girl Alone" and also seen locally on "The Dote
Mack Show". That program evolved into "Pantomime Hit Parade" on WCPO-TV which had Colin
Male and Bob Braun with her (later Bob Smith replaced Braun). Another show called, "This Is
Music" was done by WCPO-TV staff members doing pantomiming in 1959 and it was seen on the
ABC-TV Network.
While some may laugh at pantomiming records today, these were very popular programs in the
1950's and Dote Mack (who later married New York DJ William B. Williams) was very good at it.

Linn Sheldon, on one of his very first shows on Cleveland TV (1948), also did the pantomime
record bit at WEWS-TV 5..He would be best known as kid show host "Barnaby" on Channels 3
and later 43 nearly the entire time from 1957-1990.

This was 1954--before video tape.
I recall reading that NBC, back then, did three hours of Today (7-10 AM ET), so that
ET and CT stations could carry two hours between 7-9 AM local time.
What about CBS? Was The Morning Show network, and did CBS also do it for three
hours, with the same ultimate result?

Marlo Lewis, in his autobiography which concentrates mostly
on his years as Ed Sullivan's producer, mentions "The Morning
Show" when Jack Paar was host and says that "for three long
hours" every morning Jack tried to find someone to talk to
(newsreader Charles Collingwood was in another studio and
couldn't talk with Jack; announcer Hal Simms' appearances on
camera were sporadic at best).

Win Elliot, host of "On Your Account," is indeed the same as
the CBS sportscaster; I remember his nightly radio show "Sports
Central U.S.A." in the '60s. Dennis James eventually became host
of "On Your Account" and moved with it to CBS. BTW, it was replaced
by "Edge Of Night" on April 2, 1956, the same day "As The World Turns"
debuted (they were the first 30-minute soaps).
Claude Kirchner was host of the Chicago-based "Super Circus" on ABC
Sunday afternoons (Mike Wallace did the commercials for Peter Pan
peanut butter) before heading for New York. In the 1962-63 season
he briefly hosted "Magic Midway" on NBC Saturday mornings, which, IIRC,
was the beginning of a long stint as spokesperson for Marx Toys.
And is "Miss Lee" on Ch. 2 Lee Phillip?

The original host of the CBS "Morning Show" when it premiered in early 1954 was Walter
Cronkite, and I suspect he as still with the show in June.
"The Tonight Show" with Steve Allen was on the air in June, 1954 but only locally on the NBC
O&O in New York. It went out over the network for the first time on September 27th.
Betty White's daytime show on WNBQ-5 was a network series, originating from either the old
NBC Hollywood Radio City on the corner of Sunset and Vine (originally built for radio in 1938), or
from the new NBC Burbank studios. The first stage of NBC Burbank opened in the Fall of 1952;
additional studios were built throughout the fifties, and by the start of the sixties, NBC's West
Coast operations were consolidated there.
For about eight years, NBC's West Coast activities were split between the old and new facilities.
Basically, a TV show that needed a lot of studio space or was being broadcast in color would be
done out of Burbank; if the show was in black-and-white and didn't need that much studio
space, it would be done at Hollywood Radio City.

I imagine it would be an early form of MTV? ;D

"The Big Payoff" has Bess Myerson and Randy Merriman
listed as guests; actually, they were the hosts (Merriman
left at the end of 1957, as I pointed out on one of the
Minneapolis threads).
Steve Allen, in addition to doing "The Tonight Show" locally
in New York at the time, was a regular panelist on "What's
My Line?". He had taken the job in March 1953, following the
firing of Hal Block, on condition that he could leave if and when
he could get "Tonight" on the full NBC network, which happened
on Sept. 27, 1954. Steve did his last "Line" on Sept. 19, 1954,
although he returned frequently as a guest panelist over the next

thirteen years. When his replacement, Fred Allen (no relation),
passed away March 17, 1956, Steve was on the panel the following
night and pointed out the fact that they were not related, yet he
felt as badly as though they were. Steve also appeared on
the last Sunday-night show, Sept. 3, 1967, when host John Daly was
the Mystery Guest. (Arlene Francis' husband, Martin Gabel, who appeared
on the show 112 times, was the fourth panelist that night.)
Gil Fates once referred to Steve, Arlene, Dorothy Kilgallen,
and Bennett Cerf as "What's My Line?"'s "varsity team."

An additional note on the Betty White Show on NBC at 11:30am Central Time. The Monday
program schedule didn't list it but on a different day, TV Guide includes Frank DeVol and his
Orchestra. So I guess Betty would chat with DeVol and had musical artists as guests, even though
I assume she didn't do any singing herself.
DeVol was later on the mock variety show Fernwood 2 Night in the late 70s as the orchestra
leader, and played along with the premise, with Martin Mull and Fred Willard. DeVol passed
away in 1999. I'm amazed that Betty White is still on the NBC schedule all these decades later.
Even in her 90s Betty seems to be a hotter property now than
ever, something which I think began when she guest-hosted
"Saturday Night Live."
But to show you how Betty's image has changed since the '50s,
she was once the spokesperson for Fantastik, a spray cleaner made
by my dad's company (from which he is retired), Texize (later part of
Dow Chemical). When Betty began playing Sue Ann Nivens, moving
away from her all-American image, she was let go as the Fantastik
spokesperson.

Regarding the point of originzation of Betty White's 1954 NBC daytime series:
I just read one of her memoirs, and in it, Ms. White wrote that the show began at Hollywood
Radio City (corner of Sunset and Vine), but soon afterwards moved to Burbank.

That's correct, and it didn't air in Syracuse either...
On the Take Five program, I'm assuming this was syndied-anyone know anything more about it?

Re: CBS Schedule Thursday, May 19, 1988
And remember, at this time, "The $25,000 Pyramid" replaced a short-lived game show called
"Blackout," which replaced......................................."Th e $25,000 Pyramid"!
I thought that this was the only occurrence in daytime, but Hyatt's book mentioned that in the
mid 70s, reruns of "The Brady Bunch" on ABC were replaced by the short lived game show
"Blankety Blanks" hosted by Bill Cullen (BTW another Bob Stewart game like "Pyramid"), but ABC
replaced *it* again later on with the Bunch!

Yankees/Red Sox...so were the announcers Buck and McCarver?
Why didn't WTMJ-TV Milwaukee air the (NBC?) game? Were there TV rules then
that prohibited network telecasts in MLB home markets, even if the game did not
involve the home team (Milwaukee Braves in this case)?

The play by play was done by Lindsey Nelson and Leo Durocher. Isn't it funny that even back in
1959 the Yankees /Red Sox series was center stage. NBC also broadcast the Sunday game on July
12 and that wasn't shown on WTMJ either. If you notice a little further down at 1:15 WITI 6 in
Milwaukee didn't broadcast the Giants/ Reds game. My guess is that MLB was concerned that if
the local affililiates broadcast the national tv game, it would keep people from going to see their
local team in person.

That's correct. Network telecasts of regular-season major league games were blacked out in
major league cities until the 1965 season.

I don't see the listings for Channel 18, which was in the early stages as an independent. Did you
forget? Or was there no programming on 18 on Saturday?

The station was off the air on July 11th.
According to Dick Golembiewski's book, CBS moved their affiliation to channel 6 on April 1st &
sold Channel 18. 18 went dark sometime thereafter.
They returned to the air as an independent on July 20th. (a date I remember well as it happens
to be the day I was born ~3mi. north of their transmitter... maybe that predestined me to work in
television?)

Channel 18 is now a CW affiliate, WVTV.
While the WXIX calls are now applicable to a Fox affiliate on Channel 19 in Cincinnati, OH (city of
license Newport, KY). I also remember that WVTV, in-between shedding the WXIX calls and
adopting their current ones, also used WUHF (previously in use by what became WNYC Channel
31 in New York, now known as ION affiliate WPXN; and now in use in Rochester, NY, for the Fox
affiliate in that town).

27 WKOW-ABC Madison
As the listings suggest, I'm pretty sure WKOW was a CBS affiliate at that time, about a year
before WISC-TV 3 signed on.
I thought I read somewhere that there were no local telecasts of Milwaukee Braves games in the
Beer City until the early 1960's, nearly a decade after the team came from Boston, and that only
a handful of away games were broadcast when local TV coverage did begin.
Which means that apart from network telecasts of the 1957 and 1958 World Series, Milwaukee
viewers never saw their Braves on TV for quite a few years after the team arrived.
I might imagine that the broadcast of away games, except those offered by the network, was
unusual in TV sports in general (not just baseball, and not just in Milwaukee) until satellite
equipment became widespread?
Actually not.
I have seen vintage Boston TV listings indicating that some away games of the Red Sox were
televised back to Boston as early as the mid-1950's, but not very many of them.
It is my understanding that when the Los Angeles Dodgers moved west, KTTV-11 televised games
that first year, but they were restricted to the 11 games the team played in San Francisco against
the Giants.
Starting in 1961, the Giants began televising some games on KTVU-2, but they were just the 11
away games from Los Angeles. Starting in 1962, due to expansion, just 9 games were televised a
year for each team since the two teams met just nine times in each city.
The two likely reasons were the expense of land.lines (which must have cost several thousand
dollars for a game from the East Coast) and the time difference.
As an example, a 1958 L.A. Dodgers night game against the Philadelphia Phillies in Philly may
have begun anytime between 7:05 and 8:05 P.M. EDT, which would mean the game would begin
between 4:05 and 5:05 P.M. PDT.
A Saturday or Sunday matinee starting in Philly at 1:35 P.M. EDT would have been televised in
L.A. at 10:35 A.M. local.
I believe that in the late 1960's or early 1970's, the Dodgers eventually expanded their TV
schedule to include Sunday away games, increasing their TV load to about 20 games a year. I
think---but as I've never lived in the Bay Area, I don't know for certain---that the Giants did the
same thing, but eventually began televising a limited number of home games as well.
Although I do live in the Bay Area, i don't know for certain when KTVU began televising more
than visits to Dodger Stadium(I'm sure that when the Padres joined MLB in 1969, it was feasible
for KTVU to do games from SD. As the '70s went on, and stellites became more commonplace, all
teams began to expand their coverage of away games, particularly on Sundays.
KTVU avoided televising home games for most of the '80s(with the exception of the final
weekend in 1982, when the Giants. Dodgers and Braves were in a pennant race, which Atlanta
ultimately won on the final Sunday after the other two eliminated one another the previous two
days.)
In 1989, rather unexpectedly, KTVU televised a home midweek night game at Candlestick
between the Giants and Cubs, and ever since then, the OTA schedule(on KTVU, and currently on
KNTV) has always included a few home games each season. The 1989 move was ostensibly a PR
campaign by then-owner Bob Lurie, who was trying (again) to build a new ballpark in downtown
SF(that attempt, and the next one in 1992, failed, before new ownership came along and
eventually got AT&T Park built in 2000).
That's what I was thinking -- while the technology existed to transmit TV signals from away
ballparks, it would have been horribly expensive. Maybe they were able to use downtime on the
network lines for day games? (I wonder, do your listings show broadcast of any *night* away
games?)
I'm not sure how the microwave network was set up in most states. I got my start in the business
in Wisconsin, where a non-AT&T firm (Midwest Relay Co., a division of WTMJ) operated the
network microwave system. There was a spare channel known as "protect" which was
occasionally used for special transmissions. I'm betng that the 1962 Braves network was fed
over this protect channel. (making the rash assumption it existed 15 years before I got into the
business )
The Braves were first broadcast on local TV in 1962. They showed 15 games that first year (All
road games) and bumped it up to 25 in 1963. The Braves TV network consisted of WTMJ in
MIlwaukee, WSAU in Wausau, WFRV in Green Bay and WKOW in Madison. Earl Gillespie, Blaine
Walsh, Ernie Johnson called the games.

Couldn't make sense of it myself either on Google or on IMDB, which often can help you identify
early shows. I'd chalk it up to a mistake on the Times' part (that's where the listing came from)--
maybe since it's an hour and a quarter, it's some sort of movie that the typesetters at the Times
messed up, "DuMont's Typo Theater" maybe?

KDKA was preempting programming Westinghouse style. Not so bad on Sunday - Yes the Sunday
cartoons were missing there but airing on WPGH. Those Sunday Cartoons were preempted
widely on most affiliates. They did run the religious CBS shows, two of which were Catholic
shows..probably due to Pittsburgh's strong Catholic population. The neighboring CBS stations
(which I did not post) in Johnstown and Wheeling were about the same on Sunday with
preemptions.
4 WTAE was also preempting badly. The Sunday cartoon reruns cleared on most ABC affiliates
but WTAE preempts them for syndicated cartoons which were better suited for an independent
station.
11 WIIC basically running everything from NBC on Sunday - plus Pittsburgh recieved NBC
affiliates from Wheeling and Johnstown which basically ran anything WIIC did not. Plus WPGH
was helping out as well.
53 - WPGH - an also ran - weak for being the only commercial independent - lots of low budget
shows - but CBS and ABC cartoons early morning.

I'm guessing the Steelers had the Monday night game that week?
The relatively poor OTA signal of WTAE made that not a happy event
during the Steelers' Golden Era.

Before Univision (and its predecessor SIN) and Telemundo, where did programming for channels
41 and 47 originate? From Mexico or Puerto Rico?

Re: Retro: New York City Wed, Mar 4, 1970
I'm still amazed at Sesame Street airing commercial-free on Channel 11. Of course, I also
remember watching the preview show, "This Way To Sesame Street", when it aired on NBC the
previous November ... at age 5, I was right there in the target audience.
And here's your link for that program: http://youtu.be/TTDkBoEmmlE
Retro: Heart of Dixie, Saturday, March 15, 1969 (daytime)
Yes, folks, Christmas does come in March. I'm going to make myself finish giving the retros I
promised back in December. We're staying in my neck of the woods, if you will, for a look at a
few Deep Southern markets back in the era of Flower Power.

pair of gophers rendered in a most politically incorrect way as American Indians
(4) Space Clown--probably local children's show
[6] Linus--cartoon intended originally as a promotional tool for Post cereals
(8) Comedy Time
[13] Popeye--certainly hosted by WAPI veteran kiddie show host "Cousin Cliff" Holman, whose
draw was magic tricks
(31) Cartoon Funtime--unsure if this was locally hosted or not

cartoons, as an alternative to traditional violence aimed at young boys
(4) [13] (15) (31) Top Cat--rerun of H-B classic prime-time cartoon
[6] (8) (48) Adventures of Gulliver--loosely based on the 18th century satire by Jonathan Swift,
this made a monopoly for H-B in this time slot (one of the great unasked questions of that time:
why did the FCC allow H-B owner Taft to get away with that?)
9:00

10:00
[6] (8) (48) Journey to the Center of the Earth--based on the 1959 flick rather than the Jules
Verne novel, this sci-fi cartoon was noted for the voiceover of a pre-"Mary Tyler Moore" Ted
Knight

to make their way in the Middle East, all the while calling upon a man in a bottle to get them out
of fixes
(4) [13] (15) (31) Storybook Squares--fondly-remembered but short-lived kiddie version of
"Hollywood Squares" where the usual celebrities sat in the usual grid dressed in costume as
characters; rumor had it that the show was bogged down by lengthy introductions, as Peter
Marshall and Kenny Williams brought them in one at a time, rather than already seated on the
weekday adult version (Heatter-Quigley revived them occasionally during the 70s on special
weeks of the parent show)
[6] (8) (48) George of the Jungle--something we would today consider a guilty pleasure, Jay Ward
nearly lost his shirt on the huge over-runs on production of this 17-episode cartoon

11:15
[42] Aunt Beka's Bible Stories--Rebecca Horton, a Mobile, Alabama-based "Christian school"

[33] Big Picture--military PSA film distributed free of charge to local stations
12:30

Filmation; Herb Klynn and Jules Engel's Format Films handled this adaptation of the radio classic
[6] (8) (48) Happening--actually, this was more like a third half hour of "American Bandstand,"
since Dick Clark was behind both programs
[33] Gene Autry
1:00
[4] Film--"How to Automate a Hamburger" (I writes 'em as I sees 'em, folks ...)
(4) [13] (15) (31) NCAA Basketball Doubleheader--NBC Sports coverage of the annual
tournament quarterfinals (teams, of course, were not set at the time of publication)
(5) Jonny Quest--probably tape-delayed from CBS at 11:30 a.m.
[6] What's It All About, World?--ABC variety show hosted by Dean Jones, coincidentally a native
Alabamian (probably tape-delayed from primetime earlier in the week; WBRC did that
extensively for many years, as did its sister station WDAF in Kansas City with NBC)
(8) High School Quiz--local version of the "It's Academic" competitions (though without that
franchise name)

(48) This is the Life--Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod-produced religious drama

1:30
[4] Bill Anderson--Grand Ole Opry country singer's half-hour hoedown
(5) Skippy--basically, an Australian rendition of "Lassie" with a (you guessed it) kangaroo
(8) Roller Derby--hard to believe, after 40 years, that this is once again a craze, this time among
downscale hipster 20-somethings
(19) Porter Wagoner--country music "direct from Nashville, Tennessee" (the show's intro)
[33] Dobie Gillis--sitcom rerun
[42] Joe Pyne--L.A.-based forerunner of current-day confrontational conservative talk on cable

news outlets (in all fairness, though, Pyne was no friend of supply-side economics or large
corporations and did favor peaceful initiatives in civil rights--he focused on disorder and moral
breakdown, or "social issues")
(48) Bob Poole--probably local country-music show
2:00
[4] Laramie--John Smith and Robert Fuller starred in this early 1960s Western
(5) Championship Bowling
[6] The Outdoorsman: Joe Foss--one-time governor of South Dakota, former American Football
League Commissioner, and later president of the National Rifle Association (WARNING: no
comments on that, please) hosted this syndie half-hour hunting extravaganza, after a stint
hosting ABC's "American Sportsman," better known for being hosted by Curt Gowdy (Foss was
also an acquaintance of future NBC newsman Tom Brokaw)
[33] Broken Arrow--rerun of 1950s Western that focused not so much on Cowboys vs. Indians,
but on relationships among Native American tribes, rendering a much more realistic portrayal
than was common at the time
(48) Homestead U.S.A.--unknown
2:30
(5) Jean-Claude Killy--famed skiier apparently tried his hands at syndication, too
[6] (8) (48) Pro Bowlers Tour--ABC Sports coverage of the Buckeye Open in Toledo, Ohio (Chris
Schenkel and Billy Welu commenting)
(19) Porter Wagoner (apparently back-to-back episodes?)
[33] Laramie--different episode than WCBI at 2 p.m. (above)
3:00
[4] (5) (19) CBS Golf Classic--this one is strange: WCBI has listed first-round coverage of the event
in Akron, Ohio, while WLAC and WHNT were reported as carrying the quarter-final match from
the same event (explanation, anybody? And why wasn't any of this carried in Birmingham and
Central Alabama, on either WAPI or WBMG and WCFT?)
[42] Upbeat--Cleveland-based syndie rip-off of "American Bandstand"
3:30
[33] My Friend Flicka
4:00
[4] World Figure Skating Championships--apparently tape-delayed ABC coverage of event held
during the last week of February in Colorado Springs (WCBI held a secondary affiliation with ABC
in order to carry college football games during the fall, since northeastern Mississippi did not yet
have a separate ABC affil. Thus, WCBI was probably required by contract to carry other sports on
weekends during the rest of the year, too--ABC wouldn't appear full time in the market until
1983 and has since been featured on three different stations, now on a WTVA digital
subchannel)
(5) Turn-On (this is the strangest thing yet this poster has encountered in doing retros: "Turn-On"
was the infamous one-episode ABC experimental comedy disaster that invoked massive outrage
from offended viewers and affiliates, some of whom literally pulled the plug on the network lines
in the middle of the broadcast. That episode was shown on February 5, some six weeks before
this listing, and WLAC was a full CBS affil, with no ABC programming. Given Nashville's culturally
conservative bent at the time, why in the--excuse me--HELL would the CBS affil want to air a
replay of this on Saturday afternoon, for God's sake? Surely this has to be some local variety
show, instead? Anybody have any idea on this?)
[6] (8) (48) ABC's Wide World of Sports--well, back to normal (heh, heh) ... On tap, the Grand Prix
Midget Auto Racing Championship, from Houston; the International Ski Flying Championships,
from Norway; and the National Air Races, from Reno, Nevada--Keith Jackson, not Jim McKay this
week, at the helm
(19) Wrestling--live from WHNT's studios, from the Nick Gulas promotion out of Nashville (called
"Mid-South," I believe)
[33] Pioneers--syndicated title for episodes of the Western anthology "Death Valley Days," with
Will Rogers, Jr. as host in the introduction, recorded over probably an old Stanley Andrews
episode
[42] Roller Derby
4:30
[33] Outdoors--Chicago (WGN)-based program akin to "American Sportsman," hosted by Jim

Thomas
5:00
(4) Wilburn Brothers--another Grand Ole Opry act with a half-hour syndie country-music fest
(this one, strangely enough, was recorded at WSM's rival WSIX-TV, probably because there was
not enough time or space at channel 4 due to other shows recording there, in addition to WSM's
heavy schedule of local programming)
(5) College Talent--syndicated youth-oriented knockoff of "Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour,"
with Dennis James, better known as a game show host, emceeing
[13] Grand Ole Opry--filmed performances from the late 1950s or so
(15) Film--no title given
(19) [42] Bill Anderson--probably different episodes (this, like other syndie shows of the time,
was "bicycled" among stations in order for the producer to save money on duplicating copies)
(31) Stoneman Family--country music
[33] Answering from the Bible--probably local religion
5:30
[4] (5) (19) CBS Evening News--Roger Mudd (NOTE: the Vanderbilt TV News Archives apparently
did not begin recording weekend newscasts on any network until May 1970, so the anchors
cannot be verified as on the weekdays)
(4) Porter Wagoner
[6] College Talent (different episode from WLAC above)
(8) Wrestling--live in the WSIX studios, from the Gulas promotion also
[13] Huntley-Brinkley Report--at this point, either Huntley or Brinkley did the program solo on
Saturdays on alternating weeks, an arrangement that continued until about summer or so
(15) America Sings--according to this website (http://www.sghistory.com/index.php?

n...asher_Brothers), program was syndie half-hour of Southern Gospel music and had nothing to
do with the Disneyland (California) attraction of the 1970s
(31) Sportsman's Report--probably syndicated
[42] Stan Hitchcock--Missouri-based country singer's show
(48) Ernest Tubb--it seemed that all the Grand Ole Opry stars took a fling at syndie TV at one
time or another in the Sixties, and the "Texas Troubador" had his turn with this entry
Evening listings to come in my next post.

Re: Retro: Heart of Dixie, Saturday, March 15, 1969 (daytime)
I'm going to try to answer some of your questions on one site.
First, "Turn On" on WLAC is not the ABC show; that aired once,
on February 5. This sounds more like a local dance party.
Second, WLAC may have delayed "Mannix" an hour because of
the violent content, or possibly to hold the "Petcoat Junction"
audience with an hour of country music from 9 to 10. That is
strictly speculation.
Third, I'm going to defer to Russell Wells as to why Channel 42
carried Johnny Carson on weeknights but Channel 13 carried him
on weekends (of course, a little over a year later it would be a
moot point as 13 would have Johnny Monday-Saturday and 42 would
have Merv Monday-Friday).
When I moved to Birmingham in late June of that year, 42 was still
running wrestling at 9 PM; it moved to 10 PM that fall (I can still
remember watching Atlanta wrestling on Ch. 11 from 9:30-10:30,
then catching the last hour of the Birmingham show).

The summer of 1969 saw the debut of Johnny Cash's show in "Hollywood
Palace"'s timeslot on ABC. Interestingly, Ch. 6 put reruns of the 90-minute
episodes of "Wagon Train" at 8:30 and delayed Cash until 10. "Hee Haw,"
which aired on CBS Sundays right after Ed Sullivan that summer, was delayed
in Birmingham until Mondays at 10 on Ch. 13 (13 didn't run its late news until
11 in those days).
And the Hawks game was a feed from WSB; in 1970 WQXI (WXIA) acquired
the rights and the games were no longer carried in Birmingham--yet the ABC
affiliates in Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville and Greensboro/Winston-Salem/
High Point did carry them (but they were virtual clones of Ch. 11 anyway).
Then, I think around the 1972-73 season, Ted Turner got the games (he may
have bought the Hawks around that time) and Ch. 17 became the Hawks'
station.
You did raise some interesting details I didn't know about; for instance, that
country singer Stan Hitchcock was from Missouri (I'd seen his show on WSPA
but assumed it originated in Nashville), and that Aunt Beka was from Mobile
(that I knew) but I didn't know her real name. You might, however, have mentioned
the fact that only two CBS cartoon shows were carried in Birmingham on Saturdays
(and that was after NBC's block ended); the rest of the CBS block was delayed until
Sunday mornings on Ch. 13. That fall, 42 began adding some of CBS's animated shows
(not "The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour," which stayed on 13 until the switch in '70).
Birmingham scheduling was crazy but not unfamiliar to me, having gone through the
same thing with the Raleigh/Durham stations when I'd visit my grandparents (but they
watched mostly WFMY and WGHP, which stuck with CBS and ABC respectively).
Third, I'm going to defer to Russell Wells as to why Channel 42
carried Johnny Carson on weeknights but Channel 13 carried him
on weekends (of course, a little over a year later it would be a
moot point as 13 would have Johnny Monday-Saturday and 42 would
have Merv Monday-Friday).
I wish I had an answer. It makes zero sense that 13 would take the weekend "Best of Carson" and
pass on the first-runs. Maybe it was to fill time and take the (tiny, I'm sure) NBC compensation
check for it. But wouldn't it make better sense to rake in a lot more money by plugging in a
movie?
--Russell
Well, folks, it looks like since Russell doth haveth none answer for our riddle, we shall spend the
remainder of our mortal lives in ignorance about the ways of the wicked--I mean, station
managers. As for me, that's probably going to be one of the first questions I ask somebody when
I get to heaven--if people on the WAPI and WBMG staff make (or made) it there.
Thanks anyways, fellows. Let's move on and not get bogged down any further here.

Re: Retro: Heart of Dixie, Saturday, March 15, 1969 (daytime)
"College Talent" is the abbreviated title for "Your All-
American College Show," a program created by veteran
announcer Wendell Niles, perhaps to show America that
not all college kids were long-haired dope freaks. At any
rate, the most memorable act to come from that show was
the Carpenters; I can't remember now how many times they
appeared on the show. I do recall that it was a favorite choice
of ABC affiliates in the Eastern time zone, looking for ways to
fill the 10:30-11 slot on Saturday nights, which ABC gave back
after "ABC Scope" was canceled (not that many stations were
carrying it in pattern).
Also, in the fall of 1969 Arthur Godfrey (who had once hosted
the similar "Talent Scouts") replaced Dennis James and his tenure
is marked by one potentially-explosive incident that never happened:
Ed Sullivan was one of the judges one week; Sullivan and Godfrey had
never gotten along (Sullivan had booked Julius La Rosa the Sunday after
Godfrey fired him on the air and had written a scathing column about
Godfrey's "hot rodding" when his private plane buzzed the tower at
Teterboro, NJ, airport and Godfrey had his pilot's license suspended for
several months), but on the air they were the professionals they really
were--personal animosities were kept in the background.
And one other note: in the listing for this show it was compared to "Ted
Mack's Amateur Hour." Dennis James was Mack's announcer during the
early television years, when Old Gold was the show's sponsor. (The announcer
I remember best on "Amateur Hour" was Bob Shepard, not to be confused with the Yankee
Stadium PA announcer who left us not terribly long ago.)

I remember being in Harlan in 1964 and was amazed that stations from Lexington were available
along with those in Knoxville and Bristol, etc. via its cable service there. As such, I was able to see
the Reds' game via the Lexington station as it was on the Reds TV network.
A person I knew from that area also told me that the cable service had FM radio capabilities that
enabled you to receive distant stations on the FM frequences although I never herard that.

I remember, before WKPT signed on, WLOS was the de facto
ABC affiliate for that area, in fact, for most of southeastern
Kentucky. Interesting that 18 years after WKPT signed on,
WLOS was still on cable there.
Has WYMT been added?

I'm surprised WYMT wasn't on Harlan cable. Then again they had three NBC signals already.
WSAZ was odd to see but that might have been a leftover of the early days when WSAZ was the
first TV signal in the area. WLOS had a following since it was more reliable compared to WKPT
and WTVK when they were ABC.

True, but WYMT is a CBS affiliate now, and my question is:
is it on cable in Harlan County now?

The poster did say:

So maybe WYMT (then WKYH) was listed and available -- excess NBC choices be damned.

WJBF has been running Parade of Quartets forever...well, since 1954. I've seen bits and pieces of
it in recent trips to nearby Aiken, S.C. and it's a great show. Even if you're like me and not really
into gospel music, you have to appreciate its longevity.
But could This Week (with David Brinkley) been pre-empted in Augusta for a two-hour Parade of
Quartets?
And what's with Big 10 in Columbia shifting Saturday Night Live to early Monday morning??

Re: Retro: New England - Saturday October 19, 1968
According to the TV listings page of the October 19th, 1968 Boston Globe, the basketball game
on WKBG-56 was broadcast that evening from 9 to 11 P.M.
Additionally, it's interesting that WBZ-4 broadcast "Merv Griffin", a five-days-a-week show, on a
Saturday at 4:30 P.M.
I suspect that one of the scheduled airings during the previous week was pre-empted, perhaps
for some sort of news event (the first manned Apollo flight, Apollo 7, was in orbit during that
time).

The "Merv Griffin" airing may have been a weekend repeat of a recent episode (like NBC did with
"Tonight" for several years).
I find it amazing that ABC only aired 2-1/2 hours of Olympic coverage.

If my memory serves me correct, ABC only carried about 45 hours of coverage throughout the
16-day Olympiad.
And that was more hours than the combined total of TV coverage for both the 1960 Summer
Olympics in Rome (on CBS) and the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo (on NBC)!

This was typical for ABC's Olympic coverage back then; very little of the 1968 Games were aired
in prime time, and the little that was, aired before 8 or after 10.

Olympic Coverage In The 60's (Was:Re:Retro:New England-Saturday October 19, 1968
Until 1972, there wasn't that much prime-time Olympic coverage on American television for
these reasons:
(1) There were nowhere near as many remote units covering the events as there are now, so
there were some events that simply weren't being covered for TV.
(2) For the 1960 Summer Games in Rome and (except for about fifteen minutes of each day's
coverage) the 1964 Winter Games in Innsbruck, tapes had to be flown across the Atlantic. Even
still, some coverage from Rome (events held in the morning and early afternoon local time) and
quite a bit of coverage from Innsbruck (since most Winter Olympic events back then were
completed by early afternoon local time) was broadcast the same day the events occurred.
(3) Although the Syncom 3 satellite had been launched by the time the 1964 Summer Olympics
in Tokyo came around, allowing NBC's coverage to be fed by satellite to the 'States (in fact, the
opening ceremonies aired live and in color, although the closing ceremonies, on tape, were the
only other part of the '64 Summer Games broadcast in color), the time difference worked against
extensive live coverage. What little was shown in prime-time was often 18-20 hours old
(although I would think some of the 15-minute late-night shows at 11:15 P.M. EDT may have
shown quickly-edited highlights of a couple of events that had been held a couple of hours
earlier).
(4) But the biggest reason was that in the 1960's, the Olympics had not yet proven themselves as
a reliable prime-time ratings draw. It's my understanding that ABC's first-ever week-long prime-
time ratings "wins" were the two weeks of the 1968 Summer Games. That prompted ABC in
1972 to blow-out all of prime-time for two weeks to devote all of prime-time to the Summer
Olympics in Munich.

(4) Flatt and Scruggs--legendary bluegrass music duo, known mostly to mainstream America for
their theme for "The Beverly Hillbillies," appeared in this entry, yet another one from Music City,
U.S.A. (Flatt and Scruggs, however, broke up later that year)
[6] Death Valley Days--probably then-current episode, with Robert Taylor as host
[13] Beverly Hillbillies--CBS tape-delay from previous week (see other posts about Birmingham
stations' practices; no need to explain it all again here)

exclusively
[13] Green Acres
7:00
(4) (15) (31) [33] [42] Get Smart--Don Adams to Edward Platt: "Well, sorry, about that, Chief."
(personal note: my family used that phrase for years when I was little, and I never knew its
source until I learned about it in Adams' obituary in 2005--I never saw the show in afternoon
reruns in the Seventies, since not one station in three different markets carried it--that is the
God's honest truth)
[6] (8) (48) Newlywed Game--Chuck Barris rolling in the primetime dough with this and "Dating"
above (the gravy train came to an end, though, with PTAR in 1971--both shows wound up with
several syndie versions for decades afterward, certainly something the FCC did not intend when
it formulated that infamous rule)

[13] NBA Basketball--Atlanta Hawks vs. Philadelphia 76ers (the team's first season in the ATL,
with Skip Caray, years before his stint with the baseball Braves behind the mike--probably WSB
origination. Also, Caray came with the team from its original home in St. Louis, where papa Harry
was still calling Cardinals baseball)
8:30
[4] Fun at the Races--probably a prototype of the later franchised grocery-store promotion "Let's
Go to the Races" that was a staple in some places in the Seventies
(5) (19) [33] [42] Petcoat Junction--June Lockhart (as Janet) taking over for the late Bea
Benaderet's Kate Bradley character this season
[6] (8) (48) Hollywood Palace--straight-ahead variety show; Sammy Davis, Jr. was tonight's host
(no fixed one from week to week), with the following on the bill: James Brown (doing a medley
of his classics), Peggy Lipton of "The Mod Squad," Charo, and Nipsey Russell (this lineup would
have been a winner in my book)
9:00

Brewer
9:30
[6] Movie--"It's Always Fair Weather," 1955

Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville then)
[33] Movie--"The Big Beat," 1958 (musical montage of then-popular standards, jazz, R&B, and
big-band acts--with no rock and roll!)
(48) The Answer--Southern Baptist-produced religious drama, recorded back in the late 1950s
(long shelf life, apparently)
10:00
[4] Jonathan Winters--famed comic had two-season CBS variety show (tape-delayed from
previous week)
(5) Mannix--strange: WLAC tape-delayed the show from the CBS feed just the hour before (why?)
[13] Jackie Gleason--CBS tape-delay from 6:30 p.m.
(19) Movie--"The Green-Eyed Blonde," 1957
(48) ABC News--anchor not given
10:15
(48) Movie--no title given
10:30
(15) Tonight Show--NBC Saturday rerun of Carson
(31) Movie--"Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women," 1966 (no, it was straight sci-fi, not a
comedy as it seems)
[42] Movie--"Project Moonbase," 1953
10:45
(4) Movie--"Western Union," 1941 (Randolph Scott Western flick)

11:00
[4] Big Picture
(5) World of Sports--probably local
[13] Tonight Show--same as WOWL at 10:30 p.m. (but here's where things get interesting: WCFT
and WBMG cleared the WEEKNIGHT first-run episodes, while WAPI ran NBC and CBS reruns at 10
p.m. Monday-Friday and movies after the 11 p.m. news--again, ask bpatrick or others why,

[6] ABC News
(48) Championship Bowling

12:00 a.m.
[6] Movie--"Nero and the Burning of Rome," Italian; 1955 (natch!)
[13] Movie--"Blackwell's Island," 1939
(19) The Beat!!!--syndicated soul and R&B-music show hosted by legendary Nashville disc jockey
Bill "Hoss" Allen (but the show itself was recorded in Dallas back in the mid-Sixties, since none of
the Nashville stations, or those in nearby markets, had color cameras and VTR equipment then)
[42] WBMG Salute--too bad VCRs were not around in 1969; this would have been a gas to check
out (!!)

Funny, isn't it, that neither 6 or 13 had weekend news in those days, while stations in Columbus
and Huntsville did.
If you get the chance, could you post listings from one of the days during that week? I know it's a
pain to transcribe.

Charles, tain't no pain a-tall. I was going to get around to it anyway (regardless of requests) in
the next coupla days or so. Time and my snarky comments are what slows down things
sometimes. In fact, I'm probably gonna do both a weekday and Sunday. Just stay tuned, as they
used to say.
And, yeah, you would expect larger markets like Birmingham to have more of an audience for
weekend news, but we've got to remember that, by and large, people thought of news as a
workday occurrence back then; newspapers were enough for most people on the weekends.
Stations didn't really feel the need to have extra staff for newscasts that wouldn't draw more
than, say, a 15 to 20 share--tops. I am scratching my head just as you are trying to figure out why
WCBI and WMSL thought news at 6 on Saturday night was a good idea to start with--I cannot
imagine the broadcasts being much more than "rip and read" one-anchor, one-camera deals.
In WMSL's case, it had just moved to its new channel and new studios in Huntsville from its
former home on channel 23 and location in Decatur, 30 miles to Huntsville's west, two months
before. Channel 48 was therefore probably in the midst of a publicity campaign, particularly in
parts of northern Alabama that had never seen WMSL before, to create a "buzz" for the station,
and likely did not intend for the Saturday newscast to be permanent. By the time I first
remember things circa 1973-74, 48 did not air local weekend news at all.
In any case, WMSL pretty much stayed in third place in the market well into the days of the 1977
affiliation flip with WAAY (reversing the 1968 swap) and the studio's destruction by fire in '82. It
wasn't until Aflac took over and re-christened it WAFF and NBC underwent a resurgence from
the Seventies doldrums that channel 48 became competitive and left behind its "carpet-bagger"
and "also-ran" low-budget images of the past.
Also, shame that we can't compare WCBI's newscast against what WTWV (channel 9, NBC
primary, now WTVA) in Tupelo was airing against it, since the Northern Alabama TVG didn't start
including WTWV's listings until 1971-72 or so.

And I had totally forgotten that at one time Channel 42's Live Studio Wrestling started at 9:00
p.m. I always remembered it starting at 10. Ahh, for the days of Tojo Yamamoto!
True story: one of the regular rasslers on Channel 42 had an interesting moonlighting job, as if
his gig on Channel 42 wasn't enough: he was the head basketball coach at Minor Christian
School, whom my beloved high school took great pleasure in beating the daylights out of every
year!

[6] News in Review--unsure if syndicated or local (and boy, what a weird timeslot for it, too ...

Taking a guess, I'd say this was local. Probably the booth announcer on duty reading wire copy
while a slide appeared on-screen.
Also, shame that we can't compare WCBI's newscast against what WTWV (channel 9, NBC
primary, now WTVA) in Tupelo was airing against it, since the Northern Alabama TVG didn't start
including WTWV's listings until 1971-72 or so.
Given what I know about Channel 9, it's quite probable they had some form of weekend
newscast by 1969. The markets themselves (Columbus and Tupelo) wouldn't combine until some
time in the 1970s -- both stations had limited coverage.
As for an overall comparison, it's no contest: Back then, WTWV had a better on-air look than
WCBI.

WTWV (WTVA) was added to the Northern Alabama edition in
1973, just a few weeks, in fact, before I moved from Birmingham
to Tampa. Also, "News In Review" was local but I never watched
it so I can't comment on the format.
And if anybody's wondering where Anniston's Ch. 40 is, it didn't
sign on until October 1969; like WCFT it basically duplicated Birmingham's
Ch. 42. Over time (meaning after all three became fulltime CBS affiliates)
the three stations established separate identities; just jump ahead five years
or so. Today, however, with ABC33/40, those two stations are again duplicating
each other and--more accurately, I suppose--WBMA-LP/58 in Birmingham.

The Atlanta/Philadelphia NBA game seen that night on WAPI-13 Birmingham (and originated by
WSB-2 Atlanta) was played in Philadelphia, with the 76eres (who would go on to the playoffs,
but would lose to Boston) narrowly wining a high-scoring affair, 122-120.
In those days, WSB also carried Braves' baseball (about 20mn regular-season away games a year)
and Falcons' preseason road games; I suspect the station packaged them to other stations in the
Southeast, so if (for example) you wanted to carry the Braves, you also had to carry the Falcons
and Hawks, etc., etc.

I remember that at the time Ch. 13 carried Braves and
Hawks games but I don't remember any preseason Falcons
games. Likewise, WFBC (WYFF) Greenville, SC carried WSB's

Braves coverage but not the other two teams. So I don't
think there was any obligation to run all three teams.

IIRC, the Braves package carried on Channel 13 was also carried by Channel 4 in Nashville, 15 and
48. Fast forward a few years later when WTCG won the Braves contract away from WSB. Every
affiliate of the Braves network in this region changed as well. The new affiliates were Channel 2
in Nashville, 31 in Huntsville, and 33, 40 and 42.

The station actually became CKRD-TV in 1965. The station would revert to its CHCA-TV callsign in
2005, when it disaffiliated from the CBC and joined the ill-fated CH system.

Boots Randolph, Charlie Manna, Hank Williams Jr.
(no, I don't think he sang "Are You Ready For Some
Football?"))
Hank Jr. was at the start of his career. Miss Audrey, his mother, had him out singing his father's
songs and dressed in a similar style. It took over a decade and an almost tragic accident for
Bochepus to come into his own.

9:30 Turning Points (residents in Midland, MI fighting a planned nuclear power plant in their city)
The structures of the plant was built, but it never received its nuclear fuel, due to a mixture of
protests and cost overruns. The plant eventually opened in 1991, but as a natural gas-fired plant.
The construction of the plant nearly bankrupted the utility.

In the rivalry of Ed Sullivan/Hollywood Palace, I was surprised that no rock act was booked that
week on Ed Sullivan. As I remember, by that time rock acts were a weekly norm on Ed Sullivan.

I agree - by this time Ed was really going all in on rock in an effort to keep his ratings high by
offering something for everyone in the family. It would backfire on him eventually, when rockers
started shunning television as being "uncool" and unnecessary and younger people stopped
watching TV with their parents, by which time Ed had already damaged his relationship with
older viewers.

I have to second that. Younger viewers didn't care about the
old vaudevillians who popped up on Sullivan's show (and probably
only the youngest cared about Topo Gigio), and older viewers
didn't want to see the rock groups, so Ed ended up dividing his
audience instead of uniting them.
I can't remember the exact date but it was around this time that
Dean Martin was hosting "The Hollywood Palace" and the Rolling Stones
were on the bill. The act following them was an acrobat of some sort,
and Dean introduced him by saying, "This is the father of the Rolling Stones.
He's been trying to kill himself ever since."
Interesting, though, that people you don't consider "hip" introduced some of
these acts to American television: Sullivan and the Beatles, of course, but
Jackie Gleason and not Sullivan gave Elvis his first national exposure (on Tommy
and Jimmy Dorsey's "Stage Show," which Gleason produced), and Red Skelton
had the Rolling Stones first.
And here's one that'll leave you shaking your heads in disbelief: a one-hit-wonder
group, the Chantays, had a surf hit called "Pipeline" in the summer of 1963. And
on whose show did they perform that song? Lawrence Welk's!

I love the Stones, but that was one of Dino's finest TV moments. He also said something along
the lines of "The Rolling Stones have to leave right after the show; They're flying back to England
to have a hair-pulling contest with the Beatles". Also, when the Stones finished their first song,
Martin gave the biggest eye-roll in history when he said "The Rolling Stones, aren't they great?"
As far as the Chantays on Lawrence Welk, my guess is that "Pipeline" was published by Welk
Music, and he didn't mind subjecting the nice old Looterans watching his show to a little rock
and roll if it made him a few dollars.
Not only that, but when Deano introduced the Stones (June 1964), he said, "I've been rolled
while I was stoned myself." Priceless!

I think Lawrence kind of liked hanging ten himself. Remember his hit "Scarlet O Hara" ?

A possible reason for the Chantays' appearance with Lawrence is
that they both recorded for Dot, as did Pat Boone, who appeared
on the show a couple of years earlier and sang "Moody River." Some
Welk fans, having seen that show on PBS, wonder why Lawrence let
him do a song about a woman who'd been unfaithful and drowned
herself.

Re: Retro: Eastern New England - Monday, May 30, 1960 (Memorial Day)
Some thoughts:
I was surprised that WGBH-2 had classroom programs listed from 10:15 A.M. to 1:15
P.M.....unless they were sample programs of in-school fare that would be broadcast starting in
the Fall which were being previewed for the benefit of teachers and parents.
Perhaps the reason WMUR-9 had "To Be Announced" from 2 to 4 P.M. may have been that the
station picked-up ABC network programs off-air from the old WHDH-5 Boston.
If they did, and since they were not (to my knowledge) ever on the Sox' TV network, they had
time to fill.
I also would think that unless the baseball game was joined in progress, at least part of
"American Bandstand" on Channel 5 (and maybe 9) was also pre-empted.
Of unusual interest is that during the Spring of 1960, WMUR carried very few ABC prime-time
programs. Instead, most of the station's prime-time schedule was old movies and syndicated
programs. Maybe they were "testing the waters" for an eventual dumping of ABC and becoming
an independent. But with the Great TV Affiliation Swap Of 1961 leaving ABC on WNAC-7, which
then had a smaller signal area than Channels 4 or 5, WMUR was probably pressured to stay with
ABC and resuming clearing the network's prime-time lineup.
Could the "To Be Announced" at 6:45 on WMUR had actually been ABC's newscast??
Also note that a couple of TV stations in the region carried the 1939 movie "Indianapolis
Speedway", a film about race car drivers hoping to get to the "Brickyard", since May 30th was
race day.
Back then, there was no TV coverage of the "500". Indianapolis Motor Speedway officials were
worries about the impact of TV.
There was radio coverage of the "500" in those days; the speedway actually produced and
syndicated the radio broadcast itself. The IMS went into the radio syndication business after the
1950 running of the race. Mutual aired the radio broadcast, but only did live coverage of the
start, two fifteen minute "progress reports" on the race, and the finish. The 1950 race was cut
short by rain, forcing Mutual to break into "Queen For A Day" to carry the finish. The IMS
decided that once their contract with MBS ended following the 1951 event, they would insist on
having the race be broadcast "(opening green) flag to (checkered) flag" on radio. No network
wanted to do that, so the speedway produced and syndicated the race itself starting in 1952, and
has to this day.

If WMUR picked up the ABC feed from WHDH, what did they do in January 1961, when WNAC
became the ABC affiliate? WNAC was preemption crazy, especially for afternoon movies.
Also did ABC have an evening newscast at this time?

WAKR-TV 49 in Akron, Ohio had a similar schedule to WMUR as far as Prime time from the late
50's to the 1963-64 season..While WAKR carried ABC Daytime pretty consistently (WEWS in
Cleveland pre-empted large parts of ABC daytime for local fare)..Channel 49 many nights would
carry a 7:30 and 9:30 Movie, or Akron University Basketball or other local programs instead of
ABC Prime Time.
In the 1963-64 fall season, they (ch. 49) were "Now carrying "The Full ABC-TV Lineup on WAKR"

Per Wikipedia (FWIW)--it wasn't until 1965 when ABC first aired the 500 on evening tape-delay
(it would remain on tape delay until 1985). 1986 would be the first "500" that aired live in its
entirety (but that year the race was rain-delayed twice and didn't run until the Saturday after
Memorial Day--May 31, 1986).

I had thought that from 1961 through 1964, ABC showed a few minutes of highlight clips of the
Indianapolis "500" the following weekend on "Wide World Of Sports", then from 1965 through
1970 carried a more extended (but still highly edited) version of the race on the next weekend's
"Wide World", then began showing a taped (and edited) version of the race in prime-time the
day of the race in 1971.

That sounds more accurate. I still remember marveling at how fast they could produce the
Firestone commercial that ran at the end of the race that mentioned that day's winner, not
realizing they probably had several versions with various favorites already produced.

10:00a Lucy (not sure if this is I Love Lucy or The Lucy Show CBS aired Candid Camera at this

'Twas the original "I Love Lucy," my son. "Lucy Show" was still running in prime time and had
only completed its fourth season, and had certainly not gone into syndication for local stations.
Methinks CBS ran it in daytime from circa 1968 (after the show's cancellation in primetime) until
September 1972 in the mornings before being cut loose for local sales, in order for the Eyeball
net to sic its ground-breaking lineup of games on American housewives, all of which WCAX
probably cleared, BTW.

Just noting the listing of WMTW, Channel 8 from Poland Springs, Maine. There was some
discussion of this station with-in the past week or so on another thread of how far it reached
from being on top of Mount Washington, New Hampshire and how this provided an ABC-TV
outlet in a time (early-to-mid 1960's) when affiliates for that network were minimal in remote
areas.

I believe that a few weeks earlier, the then-regulator of Canadian broadcasting (Board Of
Broadcast Governors??) had given the go-ahead to commercial color TV in Canada.

Back in the mid 80s, I lived in a 2 story house in Enfield, CT, with a rooftop antenna with a rotor.
When WTNH Channel 8 in New Haven, CT signed off around 1:30 AM, I'd point the antenna
slightly to the northeast, and sure enough, there was a snowy, but watchable signal from
WMTW. I logged these during the summer months consistently, so I'm not sure if I would
consider it tropo. Distance was approximately 250 miles.

...interesting. How early were colour TV sets marketed in Canada? I'd have to imagine, with the
proximity of major Canadian markets to U.S. markets (Montreal-Burlington, Toronto-Buffalo,
Windsor-Detroit, Victoria-Seattle), it had to be well before 1966...

I checked some other editions between 1964-1966, and while I didn't see color sets for sale they
did list color programming airing on U.S. stations. I had heard that less than 1% of Canadian
viewers had color TVs when color service started in September 1966.

KDKA 2 - Westinghouse standard type preemptions - No Young & The Restless or As The World
Turns. Maybe missing a game show as well. Cannot exactly tell. They did run CBS Late night
shows. They also ran Westinghouse locally produced talk shows as well. They ran Westinghouse
Syndicated Mike Douglas Show. He is still alove - not all that well - didn't he recently battle
cancer? Didn't he remarry 10 or 15 years back and doesn't he have some young children now???
I never watched his show. When seeing him on Channel 2 (by coincidence he was on Channel 2
in NY as well but they are a CBS & O and hey KD is today) I would just keep turning the dial.
Anyhow any preempted shows on KDKA aired on WPGH it seemed. Also Channel 10 Altoona
reached the eastern part of the market and they ran at least the 2 soaps not on Channel 2. Also
Channel 9 in Steubenville which did reach Pittsburgh and west ran most of the preempted CBS
shows so CBS viewers had ways to get missed shows.
4 WTAE - Poor station in terms of bringing ABC shows - Good station in terms of syndicated
offerings. The station has piles of sitcoms, cartoons, and other offerings. So they are a high
budget operation for programming. But at the expense of ABC shows. TONS of ABC shows are
missing - Good Morning America, One Life To Live, ABC late night, Happy Days weekday reruns.
The year before it was even worse with several more shows missing and more syndicated
movies. WTAE was run like an independent that happened to be a network affiliate. Even worse
was both Johnstown/Altonna and Wheeling Steubenville lacked ABC affiliates so WTAE was the
only way to get ABC shows there. Chances are cable systems in those markets had no other ABC
station to pull in. At least WPGH ran Goos Morning America and most of the other missing shows
but were they on cable in neighboring markets? So ABC viewers were out of luck in this market.
If I were ABC I would have tried affiliating with WIIC. WTAE got a bit better but still notorious for
preemptions in the 80's and 90's as well.
53 - WPGH - an also ran. As an only independent it should have had shows like Flintstones, Bugs
Bunny, Brady Bunch, I Love Lucy, among others but they are all on network affiliates in this
market. WPGH settles on stuff noone else wanted. Still an important station - just for the ABC
shows WTAE was not running. Basically WTAE should have just let WPGH have all those cartoons
and sitcoms and taken ABC lineups in their entirety. They even did not run Good Morning
America. Anyhow they also took NBC and CBS rejected shows as well
Pittsburgh was one rather wierd market back then. The market began to look more normal after
WPTT signed on in 1978 and WPGH was sold to Meredeth and they began pouring money into
that station still causing huge losses there over the years.

Re: Retro: Pittsburgh Commercial local stations - November 17-21, 1975 - Weekdays
Tattletales was pre-empted at 3:30 for Mike Douglas, but aired (presumably on a delay) at
9:30am. 2 did not air "Give-n-Take", the 4pm CBS offering.
Did most stations air syndicated Squares on Tuesday and Thursday? WPVI-6 (Philly) and WGAL-8
(Lancaster) also did that too.
One more - You have "Magnificent Marble Machine" airing for an hour at 1pm..I don't think that
was an hour show..

Except for Price Is Right - all game shows were 30 minutes - just a typo - Days Of Our Lives was
the show that was an hour from 130 to 230 PM. Marble Machine was actually 1-130
Thanks - I have a pile of Pittsburgh Schedules from then until 1999 that I will try to gradually post

3 PM BOZO THE CLOWN
This was the version produced by CBN in Virginia Beach (the one where Bozo would
sit down with a group of children and read Bible stories). Along with twice-daily airings
of The 700 Club they seemed to take a lot of their programming from CBN in those days.

Mike Douglas died on August 11, 2006, which was his 81st birthday.

Some viewers in the western part of Pittsburgh could pull in WYTV/33 from Youngstown, OH for
any ABC shows denied by WTAE.
And Johnstown/Altoona had WOPC/38(now WATM/23) for ABC, but that station was low-
powered and not viewable at all in Pittsburgh. So, the eastern part of the market had no other
choice for ABC besides WTAE.

WYTV Youngstown was a UFH station so I am surprised that WVTV could reach anywhere near
Pittsburgh. I would think that station would reach north of the city though. WOPC/38 likley did
not even reach Johnstown. That was only reaching Altoona.
Also, Johnstown and Altoona were both very tiny seperate markets. Channel 6 and Channel 10
reached both markets. Channel 19 only reached Johnstown once they signed on. Channel 38
only reached Altoona. So Altoona had a CBS affiliate and an ABC affiliate. Johnstown only had an
NBC affiliate and also got the CBS one. In 1981 Johnstown and Altoona were collapsed into one
market and still once Channel 8 signed on that had difficulty reaching Altoona as did 23 the ABC
affiliate reaching Johnstown. Johnstown was a bit over 60 miles from Pittsburgh so they were
able to pick up Pittsburgh VHF stations at least. So for Johnstown, Pittsburgh stations were
needed. Also Wheeling and Steubenville picked up Pittsburgh stations and Pittsburgh picked
those two up. Still ABC should have pushed for a full power affiliate in Wheeling or Johnstown.

Are you sure??? about Bozo on WPGH??? Its quite possible though. WPGH did seem to have
Christian ties early on.

I thought he was still living. I read just a couple weeks in a tabloid paper that he has seemed to
have recovered from Cancer for now at least. About 3 years ago Mike Douglas cancer was a huge
story. I swear he is still alove but not likely well. He also was in quite a few movies as well - into
the 90's.

...you're confusing the talk show host Mike Douglas with the actor and producer Michael
Douglas (who was finishing out his last year on ABC's The Streets of San Francisco at this point).
Michael's still living, Mike isn't...

Steel City News? In 1975? I thought WIIC didn't use that name until 1979.

You are likely right. I tried to estimate what the title of news for local stations is. TV Guide and
most papers just called all news shows "NEWS" or "News". But I had a 1979 retro schedule that
called WIIC's news "Steel City News", KD's news "Eyewitness News" and TAE's news as "Action
News". So I just used these titles in 1975. I did wonder about WIIC's news title. I guess they used
some other title. SO I was wrong on this one likely. THANKS
KDKA ran "Jeannie" at 9 AM and ran "Tattletales" at 3:30, followed by Douglas at 4. Also, WTAE
showed "Fury" at 7:30 AM.

WYTV put a VERY weak and fuzzy signal into Pittsburgh (unlike WKBN which was close to local
strength,
and WFMJ which was not bad until local WPTT signed-on and created adjacent channel issues).
This was very frustrating to those of us trying to watch the unstable and highly ghosted signal
of WTAE during Monday Night Football.

When I started attending college in Wheeling in 1976, WIIC called their newscast "Channel 11
Instant News." In 1977, they renamed it "11 Alive News."

I did notice that in 1976 WTAE ran Fury at 7:30 once they moved their morning show up to 8
AM. Fury does not sound like a show that would last long running on weekdays. But I do have a
1976 schedule showing what you have said. Same with KD's lineup and Tattletales. Pittsburgh on
any note had some wierd patterns.

Somebody told me a story a few years back..That CBS, before Westinghouse bought then-WDTV
Channel 2 from DuMont, tried to acquire the license for Channel 9, allocated to Steubenville,
Ohio (This was before WSTV went on the air) and move it to Pittsburgh as owned and operated
CBS, but the FCC wouldnt allow it. After Westinghouse's purchase of WDTV (renamed KDKA-TV)
in 1955 CBS acquired the primary affiliation for Channel 2..

I remember my grandfather in Johnstown watching KDKA when I visited as a kid (in the 70s). I
remember thinking the call letters sounded funny when you said them fast.

Made a visit to the UP around this time. The only two channels that were available to me
were 6 and 13 out of Marquette. 6 was juggling shows from all four networks as I recall.

...no, WFRV/WJMN *did not* sign off at 1:00 weeknights. They were still running Dr. Gene Scott's
satellite feed (Festivals of Faith and Sunday at The King's House/Cathedral) for a couple of hours
at 1:00, after which would be a home shopping show of some sort...

...WLUC was CBS Primary and NBC/Fox secondary at this point. WLUC stopped airing NBC when
WJMN/3 Escanaba signed on in 1969; when WJMN dropped NBC for ABC in 1983, WLUC
dropped its ABC programming and picked up some NBC...

...wouldn't surprise me. Then again, shortly after this, I moved to Madison from the Fox Valley,
and noticed that WKOW-TV/27 was running ABC World News Now but it wasn't listed in the

TVG only listed ch 9 in the edition, listing Eau Claire and Madison as relays of ch 9.

After I posted the earlier reply, I triple-checked it again...the overnight programs were listed, but
as Commercial Programs (aka infomercials). Were many stations still running Dr. Gene at that
point?
Is Minnesota State the home edition for La Crosse/Eau Claire? I seem to remember that most, if
not all, of that market's stations are in that edition...
Retro: Lake Ontario Region, Friday, January 20, 1961
Source: TV Guide, Lake Ontario Edition
Stations listed:
2 WGR-TV (NBC) 184 Barton Street, Buffalo 13
3 CKVR-TV (CBC) Barrie, Ontario
4 WBEN-TV (CBS) 2077 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo 7
5 WROC-TV (NBC, ABC) 201 Humboldt Street, Rochester 3
6 CBLT (CBC) Box 500, Terminal A, Toronto, Ontario
7 WKBW-TV (ABC) 1420 Main Street, Buffalo 9
9 CFTO-TV (Independent*) Box 9, Agincourt, Ontario
10 WHEC-TV** (CBS, ABC) 191 East Avenue, Rochester 4
10 WVET-TV** (ABC, CBS) 17 Clinton Avenue South, Rochester 4
11 CHCH-TV (CBC) 163 Jackson Street West, Hamilton, Ontario
12 WICU-TV (NBC, ABC) 3514 State Street, Erie, Pennsylvania
13 CKCO-TV (CBC) 864 King Street West, Kitchener, Ontario

*CFTO had first signed on the air three weeks earlier, on December 31, 1960. It would not be
officially part of the CTV network until the following October; in fact, ABC held a minority stake
in the stations ownership prior to its taking to the air.
**WHEC-TV and WVET-TV time-shared Channel 10 in Rochester at the time, and even shared
advertising on one page of this issue of TV Guide (promoting the syndicated series Lock Up,
starring MacDonald Carey, and their Sunday night local newscasts). Later in 1961, Veterans
Broadcasting sold WVET-TV to the owners of WHEC-TV, Gannett, and subsequently bought
WROC-TV/5 from Transcontinent Broadcasting.
This date was significant in the respective careers of two of the most famous Jacks of the 20th
Century, Kennedy and Gleason. Kennedy was inaugurated as U.S. President, while Gleason
well, just look at the listing for 9:30 P.M. for Jackies contribution

CFTO wasn't the only CTV original with foreign investors...I've read from various sources that
British ITV station ATV had an interest in CJCH Halifax, in fact the operating company was called
Canastel...

Arsenio normally aired at 10pm, but it was bumped this night by the baseball game.
City Under Siege was reportedly the model for "Cops".

Re: Retro:Houston, Tuesday, September 12, 1989-Independents/FOX
Will you post the Network Affiliate listings now? Can you include the new channels that were
sign on with spanish.
I'm pretty sure Arsenio will be back on channel 20 this fall. Channel 26 probably won't want to
get rid of TMZ at 10.
He'll actually be on Channel 39 this time around. The Tribune stations, which 39 is one of, have
first dibs on the new Arsenio show.
How about Houston's channels 51, 14, 45.
Umm...what about them?
51 wouldn't exist for a few more years.
I saying now, today, same answer goes with channels 14 and 45.

53 years ago today. My mom was home with a screaming three-week old baby. Fortunately, I
don't scream as much now as I did then.

Re: Retro: Birmingham and Eastern Mississippi, Thursday, March 10, 1960
Odd that at 7 PM Chs. 4 and 6 would list the show they were
airing as "The Betty Hutton Show," and Ch. 11 would list its
show as "Goldie," since it was the same show. Ms. Hutton played
Goldie Appleby (AFAIK, no relation to Carolyn Appleby on "I Love
Lucy") and "Goldie" was the alternate name of the show. Not that
it matters; "The Donna Reed Show" on ABC clobbered it.
"Star Performance" is the name of a popular syndicated '50s anthology
series (actually reruns of the 1952-56 "Four Star Playhouse" with David
Niven, Charles Boyer, Dick Powell, and Ida Lupino) and was 30 minutes
long. I suspect Ch. 4 signed off right after the show. Ironically, Powell
played the recurring character of nightclub owner Willie Dante; that character
got his own show, "Dante," in 1960 but the actor playing him was Ida Lupino's
husband, Howard Duff.

3 Fantasy Island
Actually 3 WKYC NEVER ran Fantasy Island. That would not be syndicated till later in 1983. The
show they ran was a reality show from NBC called "Fantasy". It was a show about making
people's dreams come true. It ran from the fall of 1982 to the fall of 1983 and was replaced then
by Match Game/Hollywood Squares which was a mix of both shows inside of one hour long
show.

It should be noted this that this was a notable day for game show fans; the previous week,
Wheel was on at 10:30, the soap "Texas" at 11, and the soap "The Doctors" at 12. Replacing
those two shows were three new game shows, all premiering on this day. "Sale" would have the
longest run (until 1989), with "Hit Man" and "Just Men" only lasting until April 1. Replacing those
two shows? Two MORE game shows.
Oh, and over on CBS, "Plinko" premiered this day as well on "The Price is Right".

Fair to assume that "Family Feud" at noon on 61 was punted from Channel 5, leaving only the
4PM shows ("Tattletales" and "Edge of Night") not cleared?

A. M. (I've seen it as 43 A.M. earlier it was known as The Alice Weston Show and Coffee Shoppe I

This was the brief time when they experimented with a 90 minute newscast. Going by fuzzy
memory the 5pm news was replaced with a half hour "Live at Five" type program before
canceling the 5pm segment.

Re: Retro: Western Illinois, Saturday, March 22, 1986
KLJB-18 Davenport/Quad Cities (then indy, now Fox) had signed on about 8 months before this
listing (July 1985). Do you know when 18's listings first appeared in the Western IL TVG?
WOC-TV 6 would change its calls to the current KWQC later that year--I'm not sure of the exact
date but I do know TV6 was KWQC by Christmas '86 (so possibly the change was that fall). Do
you know the exact date of the WOC/KWQC call letter change?

I don't know the specific dates. Ch. 6 was still WOC in October of 1986, but was KWQC by the
end of the year...so the call-letter change obviously occurred in mid to late fall of the year. I
assume KLJB was added to the TVG listings at the time of sign-on or very shortly thereafter. It
would also be interesting to know if KLJB was added to the Iowa Edition and Western Illinois
Edition at the same time, or if there was a slight delay being added to one or the other.

I just realized that I left out KLJB/18 (Ind.) Quad Cities in the Channels Listed section. KLJB would
be a charter Fox affiliate later.

2 KDKA - preemptions Westinghouse Style - just the hour of the CBS Saturday kids lineup - tail
end of it in the 1 PM hour which aired on WPGH - other than that nothing unusual for Saturday -
Still even with a roof antenna Pittsburgh viewers could pull in the CBS station in
Steubinville/Wheeling area which likely ran anything KD did not. Also there was Channel 10 in
Altonna which began to bring in a signal east of the city though not as easily as Channel 9
Steubenville.
4 WTAE - preempting Hearst style - last 2 and a half hours of the ABC Saturday lineup including
Bandstand is not airing. Bad news is both Wheeling and Johnstown/Altonna lack ABC stations so
WTAE is the only recieveable ABC signal for those areas. WPGH ran preempted ABC shows but
that station likely did not reach neighboring markets.
11 WIIC - no preemptions on Saturday - I guess NBC shows had that high ratings - NBC viewers
were pretty much in luck with affiliates in neighboring markets to run anything WIIC did not.
They were the better of the three evils.
53 WPGH - an also ran back then - was the clearinghouse for tons of network preempted shows
and they ran an hour of teh CBS and a couple hours of ABC shows. Syndicated shows there were
low budget. More like a third independent than the only independent in the market.

Weren't the original call letters of Pittsburgh's Channel 11, WIIC, supposed to stand for "11
Color"??

Based on this 1955 Broadcasting Industry publication ad, the "C" maybe was supposed to mean
CBS. Apparently, WIIC-11 was intended to be a CBS affiliate, but by their 1957 sign-on, KDKA-2
was already CBS..

Wow!
But not surprised, given the "bad blood" between NBC and Group W/Westinghouse, not only
because of the Philadelphia/Cleveland swap, but also because the Group W radio stations
affiliated with NBC dropped those affiliations in 1956.
I had always thought that Group W could have had their pick of any network for KDKA-2, but
picked CBS because it was top-rated in prime-time then.
But the "bad blood" with the Peacock likely made them decide to go with the Eye.

Retro: Boston, Thursday, March 17th, 1949 (St. Patrick's Day)
Fresh from listings for March 17th, 1961, we go back further in time to March 17th, 1949, the
first St. Patrick's Day after the arrival of commercial television in Boston (commercial TV had
come to the "Hub" nine months earlier). These listings are from the March 17th, 1949 Boston
Globe.
Stations:
* WBZ-TV, channel 4 (NBC)
* WNAC-TV, channel 7 (CBS/ABC/DuMont)
Although that day's Globe listed all of WBZ's programs first, then all of WNAC's, I will list them
here by time period and then by station within a time period:
10:00 A.M.
4-Test Pattern (until 4:45 P.M.)
7-Test Pattern (until 12 Noon)
12 Noon
7-Sign-off
1:00 P.M.
7-Test Pattern until 4:30 P.M.
4:30 P.M.
7-Sign-Off
4:45 P.M.
4-Sign-On
5:00 P.M.
4-Kukla, Fran, and Ollie (puppet show from Chicago which had begun airing on the East Coast
once the East and Midwest network lines were connected two months earlier) (Delayed
broadcast; aired on most NBC stations at 7 P.M. If WBZ made the kinescope itself, this would
likely be the previous night's show; if NBC made it, it probably was the previous Thursday's
episode)
5:15 P.M.
7-Test Pattern
5:28 P.M.
7-Program Preview (probably an off-camera announcer running down the day's program
schedule along with station ID slides)
5:30 P.M.
4-Howdy Doody
7-Seranade
5:35 P.M.
7-Cartoon Time
5:45 P.M.
7-Hoss Opry Playhouse (likely a one-reel Western short or a chapter of a serial)

6:00 P.M.
4-Surprise Package (local children's show with WBZ-1030 personality Carl DeSuze; not to be
confused with "Your Surprise Package", a 1961 daytime game show)
7-Small Fry Club (with Bob "Big Brother" Emery; he was doing this show for DuMont)
6:15 P.M.
4-Weather (the Globe indicated it was sponsored by the First National Bank)
6:25 P.M.
4-News Tape (maybe teletype copy in front of a TV camera??)
6:30 P.M.
4-Herb Lewis, Piano and Song (I'm sure this was local)
7-News Service (I think this was a local newscast)
6:40 P.M.
4-"Miracle Riders" (chapter of a Tom Mix movie serial; IMDB.com lists it as being filmed in 1935;
WBZ would air a lot of serials in the 6:40 P.M. slot during it's first year on the air)
6:45 P.M.
7-Oky Doky Ranch (children's show from the DuMont network)
7:00 P.M.
4-This and That (film shorts)
7-News and Views (ABC's first national television newscast; Gordon Frasier was listed as being
anchor on this evening)
7:15 P.M.
7-Wren's Nest (I think it was a music show)
7:20 P.M.
4-Shawmut Bank Newsteller (local news; the anchor was Arch MacDonald, who would remain at
WBZ for 21 years and was at WBZ radio prior to 1948).
7:30 P.M.
4-Railroad Show
7-Song Hits (this title would repeatedly show up in WNAC-TV listings during the station's first five
years on the air; I suspect these were "soundies"---filmed performances of popular songs that
were the great-grandfather of the modern music video)
7:45 P.M.
4-(Camel) News (Caravan), anchored by John Cameron Swayze (In 1948, NBC launched a ten-
minute nightly TV news program that featured Swayze narrating newsreel film off-camera, most
of it from Movietone. In early 1949, the program was expanded to 15 minutes and Swayze was
moved out in front of the camera to introduce the filmed segments and read news stories for
which no film was available)
7-Shawmut Bank Newsteller (yes, Shawmut sponsored the early-evening TV newscasts on both
Boston TV stations!)
7:55 P.M.
7-Shawmut Bank Weather
8:00 P.M.
4-The Arrow Show, with Phil Silvers (six years later, Silvers would achieve stardom as "Sergeant
Bilko")
7-Dione Lucas' Cooking Program
8:30 P.M.
4-Lanny Ross (musical variety)
7-Pick and Pat (identified by the Globe as "minstrels")
9:00 P.M.
4-(Gulf) Road Show, starring Bob Smith (yes, the "Buffalo" Bob Smith of "Howdy Doody" fame)
7-Professional Wrestling, live from Boston Arena (the Boston Arena was built in 1910, and is still
around today; it's now owned by next-door neighbor Northeastern University and is known as
Matthews Arena; the college's men's hockey and basketball teams play their home games there)
9:30 P.M.
4-The Dunnniger Show (Dunnniger was a famous mentalist" of the 1940's; a young ventriloquist
named Paul Winchell also appeared)
10:00 P.M.
4-Friendly Sons Of St. Patrick's Dinner from New York City; Bishop Fulton J. Sheen is the featured
speaker.
11:00 P.M.
4-Views of News In New England (the Globe would never tell you this, but the show was actually
produced in cooperation with another newspaper in town, the now-defunct Boston Post. News
photos from the Post would be shown on-screen with a commentator (Arch MacDonald??)
telling the story.
7-Shawmut Bank Weather
11:05 P.M.
4-Tomorrow's Programs (rundown of next day's program lineup, again likely an off-camera
announcer with on-screen slides)
7-News Service (another local newscast)
11:08 P.M.
4-Sign-Off
11:15 P.M.
7-Caravan of Sports Preview (might have been nothing more than a rundown of upcoming local
sports events)
11:16 P.M.
7-Tomorrow's Programs
11:17 P.M.
7-Sign-Off
Although the South Boston neighborhood of the city has had a St. Patrick's Day Parade for
generations, it was not televised live until 1960, when the old WHDH-5 broadcast it. They
continued doing it through 1962.
BTW, this year (2013), the Southie St. Patrick's Day Parade will be televised on New England

Yes, it was live at 7 PM ET, 6 PM in Chicago. It had joined the NBC network lineup on 1/12/49,
and had moved to then-new WNBQ from WBKB a couple of months before that.

Wren's Nest was a very early attempt at a sitcom. I have a "Televue" (Early Cleveland
TV/Entertainment magazine) that has "Wren's Nest" listed on WEWS-TV 5 around the same time
frame..

Wren's Nest was a very early attempt at a sitcom.
I wonder if it was a prequell to Robin's Nest, the spinoff of Man About the House? ;D

Do you know if "Good Morning Jesus" was daily? a local show?
Sort of an odd time to run CBS News, at 9am.

Re: Retro: North Carolina Monday, March 13, 1978
"Good Morning Jesus" was both daily and local.
And WBTW ran the CBS Morning News at 9 AM
for several years; it seems more sensible to have
done what now-sister station WNCT did and run

it at 8, followed by "Captain Kangaroo" at 9.

Re: Retro: Kentucky Friday, January 29, 1971
If anybody's wondering, this listing was 28 days before the sign-on of WDRB-TV, analog Ch. 41
(now digital Ch. 49, a charter Fox affiliate in 1986), Louisville's first independent TV station,
hence no listing for them yet.
(WKLO-TV, analog Ch. 21, was a split ABC/DuMont affiliate that lasted only for a few months in
1953.)

(Notice on the right-hand corner of the page) In the event of a delay in the transfer of Ch. 5,
Sundays network programs will be seen on their old stations. Among them are: NHL Hockey
(Bruins vs. North Stars) at 3, 60 Minutes at 6, CBS Movie (Easy Come, Easy Go) at 7:30,
Cades County at 9:30 on Ch. 5, FBI at 8, ABC Movie (Day of the Evil Gun) at 9 on Ch. 7.

Re: Retro: Boston - Sunday March 19, 1972 (First day of WCVB)
The "Wrestling" on WENH-11 at 3 P.M. was likely collegiate (amateur) wrestling.
During the early 1970's, the Eastern Educational Network (EEN), a group of noncommercial TV
licensees up and down the Maine-to-Washington corridor, packaged a show titled "Sports 70's",
which consisted of taped collegiate and amateur spots events produced by EEN members and
(often) originally broadcast live on the originating stations before being packaged and taped for
"Sports 70's".
Back then, WGBH-2 covered a number of Boston-area college hockey games in-season, and
these games were often seen on "Sports 70's".
Although WENH's parent was the University Of New Hampshire, I doubt this was a UNH
wrestling meet.
The only local play-by-play sports coverage I believe WENH did in early 1972 was one men's
hockey game between UNH and Boston University that January; the success of that one-shot
telecast led the station to begin covering UNH men's hockey on a regular basis the next season.
WENH/New Hampshire Public Television would continue covering UNH men's hockey for some
three-and-a-half decades.
I'm pretty certain that a couple of UNH hockey games eventually were repacked for "Sports
70's".

Where's KENS in San Antonio?
I see, he skip Univision 20, will you include Azteca 26, TBN 39, WB 14, FOX 51, My 45, etc.
I see, you claim to be a classic tv expert yet you don't recognize that the TV programs listed are
from the mid-1980s (ABC's Jack & Mike aired in the 1986/87 season, btw).
At that point, Fox was barely programming one day at week..."MY" "WB" and "Azteca" didn't
exist...and Univision was in it's infancy. Gee, I wonder why they're not listed?

I don't like the Jack & Mike theme song, they didn't make it to the C chord after going to the B
chord.

2 KDKA TV - Preempted As The World Turns which still aired on WPGH. KDKA did begin running
the show again for a while and then dropped it again. By the late 80's, As The World Turns was
back on. Sill ran on WPGH when preempted and years later on WPTT. Also CBS stations in
Altoona and Wheeling came in the Pittsburgh area and ran As The World Turns.
4 WTAE TV - still did not run Good Morning America which WPGH ran only an hour of. WTAE was
running all the soaps and the daytime ABC shows. Still WTAE would continue to have large
amounts of sitcoms till the early 90's. Was not as news intensive back in 1978 but that would
come in the 80's.
11 WIIC - pretty typical NBC affiliate - preempted a show here and there but was not all that bad.
53 WPGH - Just sold to Meredith from local owners, one of the partners which was building
Christian station WPCB. The religious shows on WPGH were pulled back and they began to add
better cartoons, more first run syndicated shows, and some movies. Meredith was not big on
prime time movies. The several indies they owned tended to run drama shows in prime time and
WPGH would eventually follow suit. Still gradually WPGH would improve programming. At this
point tehy were head to head with new sign on WPTT but Meredith would agressively bid on
strongers shows. WPGH was running an hour of Good Morning America and As The WOrld Turns.
22 WPTT - filled a huge hole with cartoons in mornings, tons of classic sitcoms, some very old
movies, and westerns. A promising lineup for that time. WPTT would grow into an okay/nothing
great station over the years. One reason was WTAE and WPGH and WIIC/WPXI would agressively
bid on newer shows and WPTT would be unable to get most shows first hand. WPTT would settle
on second hand shows otehr stations passed on renewing. While WPTT would have decent
shows, the station basically was obsolete. WPTT in the late 80's looked more like a 70's station.
Still they filled a hole. Though ratings were low, when WPTT left the competition late in 1991 for
several months, they were missed and when they returned to programming at the start of 1992,
they were welcomed. So WPTT was more viewed than people would think. Shows were never
exactly low budget either.

KDKA TV - seemed to be running the entire CBS Saturday lineup which seemed unusual - but
most weekend stuff tended to run on network affiliates except for Sunday morning cartoons.
WTAE TV - heavily preempted Saturday morning cartoons. Worse yet wasw Johnstown and
Wheeling lacked ABC stations os they also were unable to see preempted shows. When KD or 11
preempted a show at least a neighboring market was running most of these shows. But ABC
viewers were out of luck. Even when WPGH ran such a show, that station did not reach
neighboring markets that easily. To the north though they had 33 in Youngstown but that was
only helping people north of teh city.
WIIC - pretty much running NBC's entire lineup.
WPGH - just sold to Meredith and was in the process of upgrading programming - was running
ABC rejects though.
WPTT - recently signed on then - running a decent amount of westerns on Saturday - seemed to
have a promising lineup to start with.

Re: Retro: Pittsburgh - Commercial Stations - November 18, 1978 - Saturday
Minor nit-pick:"Galaxy Goof Offs" was actually officially titled "Galaxy Goof-UPS", though you
could argue either title would be appropriate.
It seemed like a lot of independents had "promising" programming to start, but changed for the
worse eventually..

2 KDKA TV - Seemed to not really preempt any Sunday programming - In fact the fact they ran
half the Sunday Morning cartoon reruns was quite unusual for an affiliate.
4 WTAE TV - Preempted Kids Are People Too, ABC was trying to get all affiliates to run this. Also
Johnstown had no local ABC affiliate - Altoona did but the did not reach Johnstown. So there was
no way to see ABC shows in Pittsburgh or Wheeling or Johnstown without WTAE.If WTAE did not
run an ABC show you were out of luck. Also what was that NFL game on ABC SUnday for? That
sounds unusual.
11 WIIC - Ran typical NBC stuff with no noticable preemptions. Still was running cartoons Sunday
mornings.
22 WPTT - Newly signed on a month and a half ago. Typical Sunday lineup for an independent.
53 WPGH - Newly acquired by Meredith which owned a few CBS and NBC affiliates around the
country. They owned back then KPHO Pheonix which was a very strong independent and would
eventually buy 35 WOFL Orlando. Was beginning to upgrade the station. WPGH was still running
network rejects.

And they probably got a fraction of the ratings that NBC's modern-day Sunday night NFL

It should be noted that all of WHDH-5's local programs were broadcast in color; they were the
first New England station (and I think still the only one in March of 1961) that could produce
local live/taped programs in color.
You'll also note that most of the movies listed for telecast were filmed prior to 1948. A few years
earlier, when the libraries of major Hollywood studios finally began being released to TV, there
was a "gentleman's agreement" that kept most post-1948 films off of television. By the early
1960's, that "agreement" was crumbling, and before long, on both networks and local stations,
viewers would be able to see much newer films.

Re: Retro: Boston/Providence/Manchester, March 17th, 1961 (St. Patrick's Day)
I should have noted that:
(1) March 17th, 1961 was a Friday.
(2) WENH-TV, channel 11 in Durham, New Hampshire (Educational) had gone on the air in July of
1959, but was not yet listed in the Boston Globe's TV page or TV Week supplement. According to
the July, 1984 issue of their program guide (Channel 11 Programs; which included a special
section to commemorate their 25th anniversary), the station at first had a video ERP of 51,000
watts, boosting up to 316,000 watts in 1964.
At it's original power output, WENH's signal probably didn't travel very far into Massachusetts.
After that, anyone with a good outdoor TV antenna in most of metropolitan Boston could get
good reception from that station.

While I think "Secret Storm" had the opening with the
waves crashing on the rocks first, people still remember
that "Dark Shadows" had an almost-identical opening.
(Of course, "Dark Shadows" was more than five years in
the future at this point, but I remember the "Secret Storm"
opening long before there was a "Dark Shadows.")

A while back, I saw a "Here's Hollywood" segment on YouTube with
Don DeFore of Hazel aired in 1962. While it was showbiz related,
I wouldnt call it "gossip" necessarily..

I was less than two years old at that time, but I so wish there was just *one* show of "Double
Exposure" that survived wiping*. It sounded like a cool game show, based on the Hyatt book &
The Encyclopedia of Game Shows. I also wish there was more of "Video Village"; the show was
tweaked into "Shenanigans" w/ Stubby Kaye for ABC in 1964, and a couple of them are out there
on YouTube. I have seen 1 Red Rowe episode & one Jack Narz.
[*I was fortunate to be able to bag a rare home game of D.E. on eBay a year or two ago!]

Thanks!
But didn't Henry Fonda co-star in a filmed series during the early 1960's?? If he did, that's where
I got confused.
I should have my copy of Brooks and Marsh with me next time I do something like this!

Henry Fonda was in "The Deputy". He was also in "The Smith Family" in the early 70s, with Ron
Howard playing his son.

And James Whitmore starred on "Temperatures Rising" in the 1972-73
season; the next year ABC tweaked the format and replaced him with
Paul Lynde. That version was replaced by "Happy Days" in January 1974.
Retro: This Week in TV Guide, March 18, 1967 - MN State Edition
There's a heavyweight title fight on TV this week, and that's a big deal. There's a fierce debate
going on about gun control, and that's nothing new. There's Sullivan vs. The Palace, the pitfalls of
color TV, vintage ads, and more.
As always your comments, both positive and negative, are welcome.
And now, for your viewing pleasure, this week's listing. As usual, the stations are MSP unless
otherwise indicated.

Re: Retro: This Week in TV Guide, March 18, 1967 - MN State Edition
Wasn't ABC broadcasting "Dream Girl Of '67", "General Hospital", "Dark Shadows" and the
network's evening newscast in color by that time??

Not sure of the others, but "Dark Shadows" went color that August. The newscast went to color
when it was expanded to a half hour, in January 1967.

This looks to be one of 21/KVFD's better days, not a single "film feature."
40/KDUB Dubuque's schedule this day is interesting. Signing on at 1pm to run a couple of
movies, pre-empting Pro Bowlers Tour; then pre-empting ABC from 7-9pm for "Psycho"... they
must have found some movie sponsors. During this time frame, KDUB was typically not signing
on weekends until ABC had sports, and weekday sign on was as late at 4:30pm.
During that week, 40 signed-on Sunday at 12:45, picking up NBA from the net at 1...during the
week, they signed-on at noon, but ran Psychology of Drug Use & Abuse M/W/F 6:45-7:30am.

Re: Retro: Iowa Sat, Mar 18, 1972
I notice Ch. 40 had the 1932 near-classic movie "If I Had A Million."
That movie was the basis for "The Millionaire," with the main differences
being that the billionaire was actually shown delivering the checks (no
John Beresford Tipton with his back to the camera, instructing his assistant
about the delivery of them), and the billionaire was shown picking the names
out of the phone book (something that was assumed, but never stated, in
Mr. Tipton's case). W.C. Fields played one of the recipients in this movie.
Even if you're not familiar with "The Millionaire" you'll still enjoy this movie;
try to catch it if it turns up on Turner Classic Movies.

Re: Retro: Wisconsin/Upper Michigan, Sunday, June 13, 1971
That was the first Sunday after the last telecast of "The Ed Sullivan Show,"
and "Cutter's Trail" was the first movie CBS aired in that slot (in the fall,
CBS had movies from 7:30-9:30 (ET) followed by Glenn Ford's "Cade's County"
from 9:30-10:30).

There was actually a children's version of "60 Minutes" called "30 Minutes" which aired Saturday
mornings on CBS in the late '70s-early '80s.
The "30 Minutes" here was likely a local program, as CBS's "30 Minutes" didn't start until 1978.
By comparison...
Here's one local version of "30 Minutes" (from WTEN, an ABC station in Albany, NY):

song used in it was Jim Croce's recording of "I Got a Name" by Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox.
Although the film had been released in July 1973, the release of the Croce 45rpm single was
delayed so as not to interfere with the sales of "Bad Bad Leroy Brown," which was #1 on
Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart that month. Although Croce had taped a performance of "I Got
a Name" for The Midnight Special, the single did not enter the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100
until after Croce's death in a Louisiana plane crash that September...

Only one other comes to mind: WTVK (now WVLT) Knoxville
carried Mike from 7-8 around 1979 or 1980. There have been
a few that carried Merv in the early evening; I remember KGTV
San Diego and KOIN Portland, OR, doing that, and even WXIA
Atlanta did in the 1975-76 season (first at 6:30 from August 1975-
January 1976, then at 7 from January to July before moving him
back into the daytime). I also seem to recall Dinah at 6:30 on
Channel 2 in Los Angeles.
I've always been surprised that no Florida station ever carried any
of these shows after the news; the demographic base of the shows
and the state's population should have matched beautifully (Dinah
did air in primetime on Channel 44 in St. Petersburg, however), and
only four had their network news at 7 in those days: WPLG/10 Miami
(ABC), WINK/11 Fort Myers and WTVT/13 Tampa (CBS), and WCKT
(WSVN)/7 Miami (NBC), with nobody doing local news at 7.

According to the "TV Week" section of the December 22nd, 1969 Boston Globe, the short-lived
WXPO-50 Lowell, MA/Windham, NH aired "Mike Douglas" weeknights from 7 to 8:30 P.M. during
that time.
Of course, WXPO was on the air for only about nine months.

...in '68-'70, before cranking up their own early evening newscast, I distinctly recall WLUK/11
Green Bay running the 60-minute edition of The Mike Douglas Show at 5:30 Central, fitng it in
between the early feed of the ABC Evening News and the beginning of ABC's prime time
schedule...

....WBTV Ch. 3 Charlotte (CBS)....
.... 6:30 Carolina Calling (guests: the Osborne Brothers, not to be confused

They were just coming off a 1967 country hit called "Rocky Top", which has since become an
unofficially official "fight song" for the University of Tennessee.

And if I'm not mistaken it's the state song of Tennessee.
(Somebody in Raleigh ought to make James Taylor's version
of "Carolina In My Mind" the state song of North Carolina,
but I digress.)

..."Rocky Top" is actually one of eight official state songs for Tennessee, among the others being
"The Tennessee Waltz" and "Smoky Mountain Rain"...

Re: Retro: Pittsburgh - Saturday, November 22, 1952
Practical videotape wasn't invented yet, so any live network programs seen in delayed
broadcasts were kinescopes.
Nevertheless, thanks for posting these listings.
I wonder how many people in Pittsburgh could even pick-up WJAC-6 in those days.
My guess is that quite a few TV-set-owning Pittsburghites had to settle for the Steel City's one
station.

Re: Retro: Pittsburgh - Saturday, November 22, 1952
I didn't realize I put down "tape delay" until now! I certainly meant delayed via kinescope. I have
a bit of fascination about how programming was cleared in the early days when stations had
multiple affiliations.

Re: Retro: Carolina-Tennessee Friday, March 22, 1968
A special featuring the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus pre-empted "Star Trek" that
evening at 8:30 P.M. EST on NBC.
Does anyone know if the NBC affiliates in the Carolina-Tennessee area aired "Star Trek" "in
pattern" on Friday nights between 8:30 and 9:30 in early 1968??

The last season 2 episode of Star Trek aired the next week. As early as January 1968, NBC
wanted to cancel Star Trek but a group of letter writers wanted Star Trek back for a third season
so after the episode of 3/29/1968 aired, an announcer told everyone that Star Trek was back for
a third season and to stop writing letters but 29 of the 210 NBC stations refused to air Star Trek's
3rd season and I wonder if the Southern part of the United States were affected by this. And
there was the episode that aired in November 1968 "Plato's Stepchildren" where Captain Kirk
and Uhura kissed that may have been a part of the reason of why 29 stations didn't air Star
Trek's 3rd season.

All four (Chs. 4, 5, 6, and 9) did, and continued to do so when it moved to 10 PM in the fall of
1968.

Thanks!
I had heard that some Southern affiliates didn't air "Star Trek" in it's second and third seasons.
Closer to my home, during the 1967/68 TV season, Providence's WJAR-10 aired "Star Trek" on
Saturdays from 6:30 to 7:30 P.M., showing the episode WBZ-4 in Boston (and most other NBC
stations) broadcast the previous evening.
In the 1968/69 seasons, WJAR aired "Trek" when NBC fed it on Fridays from 10 to11 P.,M. ET/PT.

Confused about "The Edge Of Night"? It goes like this:
Monday, a 90-minute episode 3-4:30 PM; starting Tuesday
it airs 4-4:30 but not on Chs. 12, 32, 62.
Ch. 12--airs the first hour of the special episode (3-4 PM) Monday,
airs the last half-hour and all subsequent episodes at 11 AM
beginning Tuesday
Ch. 32--airs the special episode Tuesday 10-11:30 AM, all subsequent
episodes at 11 AM beginning Wednesday
Ch. 62--does not carry
"General Hospital" normally airs at 3 PM on 12, 32, 62; "One Life To
Live" at 3:30 on 12, day-behind at 11 AM on 62, not at all on 32.

Re: Retro: Kentucky Monday, December 1, 1975
WLEX Channel 18 - Lexington and WKYT Channel 27 - Lexington
5:00 PM Santa Claus
I notice that this was airing at the same time. Was it something like someone reading letters
from kids to Santa Claus? And since both stations carried it and it was local were both stations
owned by the same company the reason why both stations aired it?

Probably kids came to the station(s) and told Santa
what they wanted. The two stations were not owned
by the same company; duopolies didn't exist then and
as the top two stations in Lexington they wouldn't qualify
anyway.
I do remember in the '60s WFMY and WGHP both had a
Santa Claus show; WGHP's was on every day between
Thanksgiving and Christmas, while WFMY's aired on
Saturday mornings. But I've never heard of another market
that had two Santa Claus shows head-to-head.

5:00 PM Santa Claus
...in '75, FCC regulations prohibited co-ownership of more than one commercial TV, FM and AM
station in a single market; only some non-commercial stations were duopolies in American
markets (Milwaukee, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago and Minneapolis-St. Paul come most
immediately to my mind). The WLEX and WKYT Santa Claus programs were almost certainly
separate productions...

It was good old fashion competition. IIRC Channel 18 aired Looney Tunes within their Santa
program. Channel 27 Santa show was hosted by a women (the name escapes me right now).

So did WKRC ever air the 1975 version of You Don't Say?

Given that WKRC carried "The Money Maze" (of course, that also
relates to Nick Clooney's connection to Cincinnati) I have to guess,
despite the fact that I don't have a Kentucky edition of TV Guide
from the fall of '75, that WKRC also carried "You Don't Say!" and
that WLKY almost had to, given that Tom Kennedy is from Louisville.

Re: Retro: Tampa & Florida Statewide March 24th, 1966
1. No listings for WEDU channel 3? Funny the other educationals were listed and not them.
WTHS/WPBT channel 2 in Miami were not listed either, but I don't believe the Times carried
listings for them.
2. It should be known that WEAR and WJHG's listings were in Central Time; all others in Eastern
Time.
This is indeed a find, especially with Panama City and Pensacola
stations included! I remember the St. Petersburg Times' listings
being fairly comprehensive (it was carrying WJHG's listings as late
as 1973)... I've never known a
newspaper other than the Louisville Courier-Journal that carried all

the stations in its state. Great work!
That being said, what stations are listed depends on what edition you got. All editions had the
Tampa Bay channels, but editions sold from Pasco County northward got Orlando and the North
Florida channels, while editions sold from Manatee County southward got Orlando and the
South Florida channels. Editions sold in Pinellas and Hillsborough only got the local channels.

Ironically I was watching part of that episode of "Hollywood Palace" last night (namely the clip of
The Supremes singing "Stop! In The Name of Love"). As for Pat Priest, she had two other notable
acting credits after "The Munsters" - she co-starred with Elvis Presley in "Easy Come, Easy Go"
and played Sue Ann's sister in an episode of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show".

And just for the record Pat Priest is the daughter of Ivy Baker
Priest, treasurer of the United States under Eisenhower.
I'm curious. Could the season's "most jinxed show" have been
"The Entertainers"? That show had Carol Burnett, Bob Newhart,
and Caterina Valente and I've always heard there was a lot of
dissension on the set (Newhart left by the end of 1964). What's
the story?

ABC
Channel 6 passed up basketball for Questions for the Doctor??? That's almost as dumb as that
station in San Diego running E/I instead of March Madness.
Channel 3 at noon: Your Senator's Report. A Republican and Democratic senator from
Pennsylvania had combined their shows and did a weekly program together with civil debate
and friendly banter. Respect. Courtesy. It would never happen today.
Doesn't seem the public television schedule has changed all that much.
KYW 3-NBC
11:15 Steve Allen (guests Fran Jeffries, Rosemarie, Roosevelt Grier, and Curtis & Tracey)
...I assume this was a rerun from the 1962-64 Westinghouse syndicated run; Allen's television
work in 1966 was mainly hosting I've Got a Secret on CBS and guest shots, and his Filmways talk
show wasn't introduced until 1968. Did the other Group W stations (WBZ-TV/4 Boston, KDKA-
TV/2 Pittsburgh, KPIX-TV/5 San Francisco and WJZ-TV/13 Baltimore) rerun The Steve Allen Show
this late after it ceased production?...

10:30 Brady Bunch (1 hr episode with guest stars Edgar Bergen, Rich Little, and Melanie)
I believe this was an episode of "The Brady Bunch Hour", one of TV's most-remembered variety
shows for all the wrong reasons.
Oscars on a Monday night? When did the Oscars began showing on a Sunday? I thought it was
always that way.
-crainbebo
They were traditionally held on a Monday for many years. The move to Sunday didn't happen
until 1999.

Re: Retro: Toronto/Buffalo/Erie/Rochester, Saturday, January 14, 1961
I believe that later on in 1961, CHCH-11 Hamilton dropped their CBC affiliation.
I think the reason for it was that by moving to Chanel 6, CBLT was able to increase power and
improve their signal; thus rendering a CBC-TV affiliate station in Hamilton redundant.
Also note that the "Hockey Night In Canada" game only picked-up the second and third periods.
I have heard an urban legend that in Buffalo, "HNIC" during the 1960's often drew more viewers
than any program on a local Buffalo station. Reportedly, the popularity of "HNIC" telecasts in
Buffalo was the major reason that city got an NHL team in 1970.

I suspect that the programs broadcast in color were "Shari Lewis" (10 A.M.), "Ruff and Ready"
(10:30 A.M.), and "Bonanza" (7:30 P.M.), all on WGR-2, WROC-5, and WICU-12.
However, I wonder if the filmed cartoons on "Bozo's Cartoons" on WROC between 8 and 10 A.M.
were in color, even though the 1961 Broadcasting Yearbook (as it appears on David Gleason's
website) gives no indication of whether the station could transmit color film.

7 College Basketball (North Carolina State at Wake Forest; dunno what the score was, but NC
State finished the year 4th in the ACC, while Wake Forest made the Elite Eight in that years
NCAA Tournament. Curt Gowdy and Bob Neal report.)
Wake Forest must have won the ACC, because in those days only the conference champ got into
the NCAA tournament. They had a player that year who did a little television some years later...A
guy named Billy Packer.

...aah, I did forget to denote the colorcasts, didn't I? Sorry about that. Aside from King Leonardo
(not Ruff & Reddy, which had been cancelled in April 1960 and rerun in '62-'64), you got all the
pertinent time slots. And the WROC-TV run of Bozo's Cartoons was not denoted as being in color
by TV Guide...

WROC-TV didn't install color film and slide chains until about 1965; prior to that time it had only
equipment to broadcast network feeds in color. WHEC-TV (which was soon to take full control of
Channel 10, as the owners of WVET sold their share of it to WHEC and actually took over full
ownership of WROC-TV.) Neither station installed live color cameras and videotape until late in
the 1960s, by which time a third station (WOKR, channel 13) had not only signed on the air in
1962, but moved fairly rapidly to a full color schedule, other than ABC network programming, by
about the end of 1966.

Re: Retro: Ellensburg-Jerrold Cable, August 20, 1998
Did anyone live in the Hollywood Hills area in the 70s?? My grandfather had what I think was
one of the first pay TV schemes: "Z TV". It was a tan/beige box, about the size of a clock radio,
with a series of push button tabs on it. It was connected via a cord to the TV I think? You pressed
a button, and that's what changed the channel. It was quite novel and seemed very "L.A." to me
at the time. I've tried searching online for any information on it, found nothing but an obscure
old reference to a documentary of the same name. I know it existed!!

Re: Retro: Kansas Wed, Mar 1, 1961
Another interesting note. In the early 1980's the owners of KAYS-TV would purchase KTVH and
KTVC with the call letters to be later changed to the present KBSH, KWCH and KBSD respectively.
It was during this period that KWCH made what was one of the most dramatic turnarounds in TV
history, one what CBS would do a feature about on the old West 57th series. (At kwch.com they
have a clip of that segment in their 60th anniversary series... 60th birthday for Kansas' first in-
state TV station comes July 1st)

Since KTVH-12 had studios in both Wichita and Hutchinson, were their local newscasts partially
originated in each city with two anchors, one in each city (a la Huntley and Brinkley)??

KTVH started out in Hutchinson in 1953, and added a Wichita studio shortly thereafter. Into the
70's they did the morning and noon stuff from Hutchinson and the evening stuff from Wichita.
Sometime in the 80's (I think right after Beach/Schmidt bought it) everything began coming out
of Wichita, through they do a lot of news stuff out of Hutchinson, where they to this day have
extremely strong viewership. They also carry a lot of local advertising from Hutchinson
businesses as well as from the towns around there.
Retro: Boston - WTAO Channel 56 Debut, September 1953
Source Boston Globe (via Globe archives)
WTAO was Bostons first UHF station. Besides the lack of UHF receivers, the station suffered from
a high channel position (the higher the channel, the more energy it took to put out a picture and
the tougher reception was) and a transmitter on Mt. Zion in Woburn, which didnt reach large
portions of the market. It was a DuMont and ABC affiliate, but both networks kept secondary
affiliations with both WBZ and WNAC. For example, WNAC continued to air Life is Worth Living
and The Plainclothesman and WBZ aired Rocky King, among others. WTAO left the air in
1956, but for some reason they were included in the channel listings in the Globe until 1957.
When channel 56 came back on the air in 1966 as WKBG, it used the same license and
transmitter site as WTAO. (The transmitter was moved about 18 months later, giving better
coverage into the suburbs.)

According to Peter George's old UHF Morgue site, there was a polka show on Saturday nights
that got some viewers. ABC and DuMont still preferred to send their more popular shows to
WBZ and WNAC, even though most of them were seen on delay. External UHF tuners looked like
radios of the era (big dial) and were hard to tune. Here's an example:

There is a picture of the WTAO station identification, designed by a viewer, up for sale on Ebay:

Wasn't Channel 56 actually allocated to Cambridge back then (as technically, it now is)??
Retro: This Week in TV Guide, April 1, 1961 - MSP Edition
It's always amusing to see how wound-up people would get over soap operas back in the day,
and this week we have one of those stories. Also, Roger Smith - before he married Ann-
Margaret; the NBA finals - starting in April! - The Red Balloon on G.E. Theater, and notes on two
new cartoon shows coming to prime time. And that's no April Fool joke!
http://www.itsabouttv.com/2013/03/th...1-1961_30.html
And now this week's TV listing. Wouldn't you love to hear this conversation:
Cop: "Where'd you learn to drive like that, son?"
Kid: "Watching Channel 2!"

One more tie-in with Perry Mason that you missed - "The Edge of Night" was originally supposed
to be the Perry Mason radio show shifted to TV. Gardner objected to the idea of any love stories
and other soap plots in his program.
There were also 6 theatrical Perry Mason movies in the 1930s, some of the titles being redone
on the TV show. In "The Case of the Velvet Claw" Perry actually married Della at the beginning of
the movie! No wonder Erle Stanley Gardner was wary of TV.
You're right! I forgot all about that Mason-Edge tie-in. Thanks for catching it.
I saw that "Case of the Velvet Claw" movie as well - and I've been sorry ever since...

Re: Retro: This Week in TV Guide, April 1, 1961 - MSP Edition
"The Edge of Night" used the cast and writers of the Perry Mason radio series, but changed the
character names (Mason became "Mike Karr") when Gardner gave them the thumbs-down.
When he did approve a TV show, he had more control over it, and had his agent's wife, ex-
actress Gail Patrick Jackson, produce it. It was one of the first hour-long filmed mystery shows on
TV.
Gardner did authorize a Perry Mason comic strip around 1950, drawn by Mel Keefer (who also
drew a "Dragnet" comic - and is apparently still alive, having started a blog). It was scripted by
anonymous writers at William Morrow, Gardner's publisher.
The Perry Mason movies from the 1930s have their own charm, but look odd to those raised on
Raymond Burr's characterization. Especially seeing Paul Drake turned into "Spudsy." (Spudsy?)

Re: Retro: This Week in TV Guide, April 1, 1961 - MSP Edition
I don't think the "WCCO Reports" special would have pre-empted
"U.S. Steel Hour." This is a Thursday listing, and "Steel Hour" aired
every other Wednesday from 9-10 (CT). "Face The Nation," at the
time, was on Thursdays at 9 (CT) and was sometimes on for an hour;
I suspect that on this particular night it aired for only 30 minutes with
the affiliates getng back 9:30-10, much as sometimes happened a few
years later with the "CBS News Hour" on Tuesdays.
Also I find it somewhat prophetic that the ABC affiliate had a morning
show called "Good Morning Minnesota." Think about it.

Re: RETRO: AMARILLO, TEXAS. TUESDAY, SEPT. 2ND, 1997
Stich, do you have any TV listings from this day in Houston, Texas?
Wow, that's strange, I could have sworn that KVII/7 carried All My Children when I was up there
(1989-1993)....maybe they either didn't want to bother with a 1-day tape delay or thought
they'd be banging their heads against the wall trying to carry a soap opposite Young & the
Restless, but Dr. Quinn ?!? Really??
I had to do a double take of the listings, even checking weekend overnights-but no "All My
Children" in site on KVII. Of the other ABC affiliates listed in the edition, WFAA and KAMC carried
it at 11am, while KMID carried it at 12pm.

This was the series premiere of "The Protectors", one of the three components of "The Bold
Ones", which starred Leslie Nielsen:

Maybe -- it's not uncommon for the "Playboy" name to be censored for one reason or another.
TV Guide always listed the show as "Hugh Hefner", the show's host.

Isn't NBC on 7, CBS on 4, ABC on 5?

It is now, and has been since January 2, 1995. WBZ 4 was an NBC affiliate until that time. 5 and 7
had swapped ABC and CBS a couple of times (1961 and 1972).
NBC has been on 7 all the time, during Profiler, Punky, Mario, Captain N, Hunter, A-Team, Batman
Returns, 1600, etc, years on.
A number of points...in no particular order....
Let's play a game called "research". The internet can be useful for this.
While researching the internet, you may find a little history of Boston television. (Boston, by the
way, is nowhere near Houston.)
The current affiliation lineup amongst the 'Big 4' broadcast networks, plus PBS, is:
WGBH-Channel 2 (PBS)
WBZ-Channel 4 (CBS, and a CBS owned-and-operated station)
WCVB-Channel 5 (ABC, owned by Hearst)
WHDH-Channel 7 (NBC, owned by Sunbeam Television)
WFXT-Channel 25 (Fox, and a Fox owned-and-operated station)
Yes, there are CW, MyNetwork TV, Univision, Telemundo, and other stations, but let's just focus
on the above five. And yes, those channels reflect the heritage pre-digital allotments and current
'virtual channels'. (I know at this point I just blew your mind, but bear with me-and I don't mean
Yogi Bear or Winne-The-F*@! Pooh bear).
Years ago, probably before you or your parents were born, (more specifically, the period
encompassing 1994-95), there was what's called an 'affiliation switch' between WBZ-Channel 4,
then NBC, and WHDH-Channel 7, then CBS.
WBZ's owner, then Westinghouse (or "Group W"), bought the CBS network.
So, here you have WBZ Channel 4, an NBC station which DID air shows like Captain N, Punky
Brewster, SuperTrain, and um, perhaps the airing of Tim Burton's Batman Returns at one time or
another, suddenly finding itself being owned by the same company that now owned CBS.
Over at WHDH Channel 7, which carried CBS, the thought must have been along the lines of
"well what will happen now, 'cause our network and our competitor, channel 4, are owned by
the same company. What will happen to us?"
Here's what happened, more or less. CBS did in fact change stations. They moved to Channel 4
(which had been carrying NBC for years), from Channel 7, which had been the CBS station.
Where did NBC go? They went to Channel 7. There were a few rumors that Fox (a network you
may or may not be familiar with) would switch to channel 7, but that didn't happen, and it
stayed on channel 25. (Sorry, I may have blown your mind again there).
So, the point is this: Channel 7 in Boston was never 'always NBC'. They joined the NBC network
in 1995, long after "Punky Brewster", "The A-Team", "Bonanza" and "Hello, Larry" had left the
primetime airwaves.
CBS, which HAD been on Channel 7, went to Channel 4, and NBC, which HAD been on Channel 4,
went to Channel 7.
1994: NBC on WBZ Channel 4, CBS on WHDH Channel 7
1995: NBC on WHDH Channel 7, CBS on WBZ Channel 4
I hope this clears up confusion. And again, I recommend some 'reasearch' on the internet before
making a claim that a specific TV station has always been with a specific network. Or what cookie
Lassie eats.
----
Unrelated, but even in your area of Houston (I'm assuming your in the area, given the unhealthy
obsession with obscure UHF channels in the Houston market), there have been a few network
affiliation changes. LONG, LONG ago, before you were born, KPRC-Channel 2, which you may or
may not know today as being the NBC station, once carried...get ready for this...OTHER
NETWORKS. Channel 2, in their earliest days going back to 1949, carried some network shows
not only from NBC, but also CBS, ABC, and the long-gone DuMont Network. Once Channels 11
and 13 signed on the air, Channel 2 lost CBS and ABC programs, and stayed with NBC. (DuMont
shut down around 1956). Channel 2, by the way, has no intentions as to be going the path of
KETH, joining the PBJ network, or relocating to an abandoned Shoney's located three blocks
away from KUBE's transmitter site.
Or, just read MCarney's post, which clearly explained what happened in much, much shorter
detail.
The End.

The old WNAC-7 was a primary CBS affiliate from it's debut on June 21st, 1948 through
December 31st, 1960, and again from March 19th, 1972 through (as WHDH) January 1st, 1995.
In it's earliest years, it carried a few DuMont shows (as did WBZ-4), and was a secondary affiliate
of ABC from 1948 until November of 1957.
It was an ABC affiliate from January 1st, 1961 through March 18th, 1972.
Boston's Channel 5 (at first the original WHDH, now WCVB) was an ABC affiliate from it's sign-on
in November, 1957 through December 31st, 1960; then was a CBS affiliate from January 1st,
1961 through March 18th, 1972 and has been an ABC affiliate since WCVB took over the channel
on March 19th, 1972.
So Boston's Channel 7 has been a primary affiliate of all of the traditional "big three" networks
during the station's history.

"Main Street" was an occasional discussion series hosted by Bryant Gumbel, which, starting this
season, replaced its Afterschool Special knockoff, "Special Treat". That being said, what was
normally seen at these times? I think WXFL showed "Trapper John MD" at 4, but I'm not sure.

5:00 Pulse 13 News
I believe "Hour Magazine" was normally seen at 4 on WCPX and WTVT, with Jeopardy! at 5 on
WCPX. What was WCTV's normal schedule?

CBS Late Night: WCPX, with "Simon & Simon" and "Madigan", showed that night's schedule, with
WJXT and WTVT normally showing it on a week delay. However, "The Dark Side of Innocence",
originally broadcast March 18, 1986, was on a two-week delay, due to a CBS News special that
was screened on March 25: "CBS Reports: The Vanishing Family-Crisis in Black America". (Source:
http://epguides.com/CBSLateMovie/ )
Did WCTV only show half of CBS Late Night, closing down after "Simon & Simon", or is this
schedule only incomplete?

Up until this season, WXFL would be "live" with the network from 10:30AM to 12 Noon, then
1PM to 4PM, with other times replaced with syndicated shows and the local noon news.
However, starting this season, they showed "Santa Barbara" on a delay at 9AM with a syndicated
drama rerun (in this case, "Quincy", at 3). As far as I knew, they always bumped the 10AM NBC
show, initially for "Romper Room" until 1982, then for a syndicated program; I recall the 1984-
1986 "Lets Make a Deal" and reruns of Jim Perry's "Card Sharks" being seen at this time as well.
The 12:30PM slot was also always bumped, initlally as part of a noon news hour, later for "All In
The Family" when the news was shortened to a half-hour. I believe other syndied shows were
also seen in that slot. In consequence, Tampa Bay never saw the final few seasons of "The
Doctors" (the soap, not the talk show, which ironically, WFLA carries today) or "Search For
Tomorrow" (which was long gone from WTVT when it moved from CBS to NBC).
1:30 Comedy Tonight
Earlier this season, "Comedy Tonight" was seen at 12:30AM, with Dave on a delay at 1AM, due
to contractual considerations -- WXFL's parent, Media General, was co-producer. Later on, it
moved to after Dave, when it was already cancelled.
7:00 Jeopardy!
They're still showing them -- in that order -- today.
Midnight Comedy Break
12:30 Movie: "Tales of Hoffman" (1953)
2:30 Movie: "The Holly and The Ivy" (1953)
4:20 Movie: "Are You Being Served?" (1977)
It's too bad no cable system outside Orlando pulled a "WKID" and showed WFTV late-nights after
another channel left the air -- I believe WFTV was one of the first stations in the region to be on
the air 24/7, with old movies and reruns.
WTSP Channel 10 (ABC, Later CBS)
10:00 Murphy in The Morning
Local talk show hosted by Bill Murphy, later of WTVT and, currently, with Bay News 9.

Yep...KCOP in Los Angeles was another then-indie that showed Wheel and J! (and in that order)
before the two eventually moved to a network station (KCBS, and later KABC). Ironically, KCOP
and WOGX are now both owned by Fox.

Re: Retro: Boston - Sunday, February 28, 1960
Interesting that the Boston affiliate didn't even bother to show the final day of the Winter
Olympics, and instead showed a trio of forgettable movies.

WNAC was owned by RKO General, so it wasn't surprising. Also at the time NBC was in
negotiations to buy the station (didn't happen due to the questions about the
Cleveland/Philadelphia swap) and CBS was anxious to move to another station (ultimately to
WHDH the next January).

An elderly friend seems to think that a decision was made the day before, after the U.S. hockey
team upset Russia to keep their hold-medal hopes alive, by CBS to split the final day of Winter
Olympics coverage from Squaw Valley so instead of running from 2 to 5 P.M. EST; it would run
from 11 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. EST and from 4:30 to 5.
My friend seems to think that was done to permit the final U.S. hockey game against
Czechoslovakia (which they won to win the first U.S. men's hockey gold medal; the "Forgotten
Miracle Of Squaw Valley") live and in full. In fact, he recalls the game being live with something
else running on CBS stations from 2 to 4:30 P.M. that day.
Nevertheless, the 4:30-5 P.M. EST portion was likely the closing ceremonies, aired live.

At that time the Globe didn't have a separate TV section - the listings for the week were all on
one page in the paper itself. I checked the entire paper for that day and there were no TV
updates changing the times for Olympic coverage, including on the sports pages. It is possible
there may have been changes in later editions.

Re: Retro: Pittsburgh/Youngstown/Wheeling 4/9/1984

Jeffersons at 7 AM on WPGH???? NOT back in 1984. That type of show never ran that early.
Most off network recent sitcoms had a 4 to 8 PM time committment or a 10 to Midnight
commitment. My guess was the Flintstones likely ran in that slot.
Actually I looked up the listing in the Press and they did run Flintstones at 7 AM and again at 430
PM. Sort of surprised they ran Mork & Mindy at 6. That show failed in syndication miserably. By
the fall of 1983, stations were resting it during the school year and running it evenings in the
summers for the next couple years. Other stations moved Mork to middays rather than running
it in evenings. BUT WPGH DID run it in evenings at 6 at that point. Other than that this schedule
is quite accurate.
You also did not list WPCB though they were all Christian with a couple exceptions of some
sporting shows on Saturdays. So they were not a major player. By 1985, though there was a huge
hole for another independent station in the market and WPCB had many offers from secular
broadcasters but Ron Hombre and Company refused to sell it to anyone. By 1989, many older
shows on in most markets were not on in Pittsburgh. 5 Commercial stations was not enough to
go around. In the fall of 1991 a huger hole was created Labor Day Weekend when WPTT was sold
and went all home shopping. A few weeks after, they added a few network rejects. Then in
january of 92 they sold afternoons to the company that sold them to buy WPGH, Sinclair. Sinclair
began programmin 3 to 12 Midnight daily and in early 1993 began programming Noon to 1 AM
daily. In the Fall of 1995, WPTT resumed being a full time independent with UPN (which they
picked up January before). Finally in 1996, Channel signed on. previously a Johnstown station
and now in the Pittsburgh market and as a WB station. Eventually WPTT and Channel 19
swapped UPN and WB. But finally in 1996, the hole was filled. Pittsburgh should have had 3 true
independents by 1986. They were one of the most underserved markets anywhere.

It's no surprise that WSJK-2 was off-the-air on Saturdays.
As late of the 1970's, some PBS member stations were still not yet on a seven-day broadcast
week.
For instance, in New Hampshire for almost all of the 1970's, the only station of New Hampshire
Public Television that was on the air seven days a week was flagship WENH-11 (and it's two
translators).
The other four "full-power" NHPTV stations (all on UHF) would only go on the air on Saturdays if
the network was carrying special programming, mainly University of New Hampshire men's
hockey games (for nearly four decades, NHPTV produced televised UNH men's hockey games). In
the 1970's, several of the telecasts were on Saturdays and the NHPTV "full power" UHF's would
sign-on the air on Saturdays to carry the games and whatever other programs preceded or
followed the games (back then, WENH's Saturday schedule usually ran from 4 to 11 P.M.).
And closer to my home in Boston, WGBH-2 didn't adopt seven-day-a-week broadcasting on a

regular basis until the mid-1960's. Prior to that, the station had first a weekdays-only schedule
and then a Sunday-through-Friday schedule, with much of the Sunday fare being public-affairs
programs rejected by the commercial stations (with commercial announcements deleted and
replaced by public service announcements and/or program promos).

Apparently ABC had given back the 9:30 hour to the local stations. I think our local affiliate
(Cedar Rapids) delayed Johnny Cash to that hour.

Re: Retro: Carolina-Tennessee Saturday, April 3, 1971
ABC was already giving back 10:30-11 Saturdays, and in
preparation for the access rule gave back 9:30-10:30 Saturdays,
7-8 Sundays, and 10:30-11 Thursdays in January 1971.
And several stations moved Johnny Cash back to Saturdays at
9:30, where he had first aired in the summer of 1969; I know that
Atlanta, Raleigh, Orlando, Louisville, Columbus (OH), and Chattanooga
were among those that did.

Considering how long KGO has touted its 'long history' of local news coverage, I'm shocked that
they didn't have a newscast back then. Anyone know when it started?

Diego's ABC affiliate - XETV - had no news department at all in those days, but I always figured
they got away with that because they were licensed in Mexico.
Growing up in LA, I do recall that in the early 60s KABC-TV's news was kind of a low-budget joke,
and was at the bottom in the ratings. They ran early local news at 4:30, while KNBC and KNXT
(now KCBS-TV) ran local news at 6:00. And the KABC anchor - Baxter Ward (later an LA politician
of some note) spent a lot of time on commentary because (it seemed) like he didn't have enough
filmed and tape stories to fill a half hour or hour.
In those days, I believe ABC as a network was also rated third by quite a margin, so it's possible
that the network wasn't willing to make much of a commitment to news on their O&O stations.

Another news note - the "Ramey" listed on KPIX's news was Wanda Ramey - one of the first
major female news anchors - starting on KPIX in 1959. She was very well thought of in the Bay
Area, and had retired by the time I moved to SF in the 70s.
Here's a picture of Ramey interviewing a candidate for Governor - Ronald Reagan in 1966:

Given the title, I would say that Headline Edition at 6pm was KGO's newscast...

...not true re XETV/6. The TV Guide for the second week of February 1961 not only lists a 7:00
PM weeknightly newscast for them, anchored by Lionel Van Deerlin, but also a Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri
news feature program at 10:30 PM titled Dimension 6. There's even a half-page ad for the two
programs on Page A-57...

In 1961, the Captain was only on the air for 45 minutes, broadcast from 8:15 to 9 A.M. ET/PT.
The other fifteen minutes of that hour (8-8:15 A.M. ET/PT) on CBS consisted of a network
newscast, anchored in 1961 by Richard C. Hottelett. KOLO-8 Reno cleared it.
That Fall, CBS launched a news and features show titled "Calendar" airing at 10 A.M. EDT/EST
(it's cohost was a then-unknown CBS correspondent named Harry Reasoner; this program made
him a "household name"). Once "Calendar" premiered, the 8 A.M. newscast was dropped and
the Captain went back to being an hour.

The reason I asked if KPIX ran the Captain on delay, was due to the fact as noted in the original
post, KPIX ran an entirely different episode of the Captain than ch 8 Reno and 10 Sacramento
did. Or could it be that 5 ran the Captain from the network, with Reno and Sacto getng it on
delay?
Check Tuesday's listings and see if the Captain is reading a
story about bunnies on Ch. 5; if that doesn't work try the
following Monday's listings. I find it hard to believe that two
of three CBS stations would air him on delay; for about a year
in 1973-74, WAGA carried him at 6:30 AM on day-behind while
WMAZ carried the first in-pattern feed at 8 and WDEF carried
the second feed at 9.
I've only got the Apr 1-7 issue, but there's no sign of any bunnies on KPIX that week...other than
the station's Easter weekend TVG ads- the Apr 1 ad was a combined Easter/April Fools ad
claiming that any kid watching the station on Apr 1 would get 5 live bunnies, with "April Fool"
written in small letters underneath...the ad for the 2nd (Easter Sunday) showed the same line of
rabbits with an additional one added, wishing viewers Happy Easter.
It was true later in the decade - 65 or 66' maybe. I recall watching The Honeymooners at 11:00
PM on XETV, and I'm pretty sure they didn't run early local news either, though they may have
run syndicated newsy programs.

Some thoughts about Motown ...
WWJ, 1 a.m.: This was, of course, the station's in-studio bowling game show. I believe it usually
ran at 7 p.m., between Huntley-Brinkley and prime time. Bowling continued to be popular on
northern U.S. local stations well into the late 1970s. But it seems that the "yuppie" era of the
1980s pretty much finished off tenpins on TV, except for ABC Saturday afternoon coverage, until
ESPN helped it blossom again by the 1990s. Not having seen these shows, I wonder whether or
not there was a jackpot awarded to the highest scorer of the day and a subsequent tournament
of the week on Friday, or whether the winner of a frame got a small cash award, or what. Do any
of you up in the Midwest and the Northeast remember much about these local competitions?
WKBD: An indie UHF in an otherwise all-VHF market (save public outlet WTVS) surely had some
rough going in its first year, but this one, unlike some others, did have some ambition, carrying a
Red Wings hockey game. It may well have caught on quicker in its market than was the case with
indies elsewhere (e.g., Cleveland, Baltimore, etc.)

However, not all RKO General stations aired Hollywood a Go Go. Case in point: New York City,
where WOR-TV/9 passed on it . . . and the show ended up airing instead on WPIX/11. WOR-TV,
however, had their own rock 'n' roll music show, Let's Go Go.

I use to watch Beat the Champ all the time. It aired on weekends in the 1:00 am slot. It was a
contest betwene a pro and an amateur. If the amateur won he got a trophy that said "I Beat the
Champ " and if the amateur lost, he got one that said "I tried to Beat the Champ". How about
that.

In Boston, "Hollywood A Go-Go" aired on Group W/Westinghouse's WBZ-4 on Saturday

afternoons from 5 to 6 P.M. during 1965, beginning on May 22nd of that year.

The posted schedule says WJBK-TV2 ran CBS News at 7:05am. Channel 2 did not run the Morning
News or any CBS morning show the entire time it was a CBS affiliate. Besides at this point in time
the CBS Morning News (with Mike Wallace) aired from 10:00-10:30 am (channel two did not
carry that either, nor did they carry Calendar with Harry Reasoner, the program it replaced). And
CBS never started their news at :05 past the hour.

Have to correct you (or, more accurately, let Wesley Hyatt correct you):
The "CBS Morning News" was on from 7:05-7:30 AM from August 16, 1965-
March 28, 1969; it expanded to an hour (7-8 AM) on March 31, 1969. Mike
Wallace was still anchoring when the broadcast moved from 10 AM to the
earlier time; Joseph Benti replaced him in 1966 and was still anchoring when
the expansion came.
I know of some areas where the 25-minute newscast aired from 7:30-7:55
or 7:35-8; maybe you lived in one of those.
The Storer-owned CBS affiliates seemed to have a lot of problems with the
idea of clearing network programs before noon in those days; look at some
of my Atlanta (WAGA) postings from the '60s or some of Tim Lones' Cleveland
(WJW) listings.
On a different subject, didn't Channel 4 carry "Bowling For Dollars" in the '70s?

Thanks, bpatrick. Basic point: WJBK-TV (and apparently other Storer stations, too) did not take
the CBS News broadcasts running as lead-ins to Captain. Nor the 10am broadcasts. As I recall,
channel six did take the early news - at least at some point - but never the 10am shows because
of their local "Happy Homemaker" (actually Copper Kettle) show hosted by the station owner's
mistress. Any resemble to any character played later by Betty White are purely coincidental.
Interesting to not see the Turkey Day Lions game listed anywhere. I didn't realize the home
blackouts even extended to a holiday tradition like that.

At the time, all home games were blacked out, whether or not they've been sold out at any time.
Since 1973, however, home games could be seen if they were sold out within 72 hours.

In Boston, where candlepin bowling (small balls and skinny pins) is quite common, the local
"Bowling For Dollars" franchise was called "Candlepins For Cash", and had a long run on the old
WNAC-7, for most of that time weekdays at 5:30 P.M., leading into the station's local 6 P.M.
newscasts.
"Candlepins For Cash", however, was last seen in Boston on the old WXNE-25.
Sadly, the host of the show during it's WNAC days, Bob Gamere, is at this writing in jail, having
been convicted of child porn charges.

Unlike the Detroit (proper) stations at the time, CKLW-TV (Channel 9/Windsor, ON) was licensed
by the CRTC (the Canadian equivalent of the US FCC). But CKLW-TV was still considered part of
the Detroit Metro and was programmed as such. Was CKLW-TV able to broadcast in color to the
Detroit market, even though color TV was not officially sanctioned in Canada until 1967? I know
that many of the programs on CKLW-TV came from the states (and were specifically programmed
for the Detroit audience). Even though color TV was already growing in the USA, was Channel 9
able to broadcast in color to the Detroit audience, or did they have to wait for CRTC approval in
'67? Just curious!

CKLW-TV functioned as an indie station much of the time. It did carry some US syndicated
programming (as did other Canadian stations) and old movies - generally still offered in B&W at
the time.. But much of their schedule was local shows and those were produced at the station's
studios in Windsor. At this time, the station did maintain a sales office in Detroit. Many station
employees, including air talent, commuted from Michigan.
See the CKLW schedule posted for Monday, 04/08/1968.

Re: Retro: Michigan Mon, Apr 8, 1968
Wasn't this the day of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s funeral??
If it was, I would think that at least part of the daytime schedules on network stations would
have been pre-empted for live coverage.

TV Guide would show scheduled programming, not last minute preemptions.

Was the early afternoon movie on channel 9 with Bill Kennedy as host or had he moved to
channel 50 at this point? I seem to recall he moved later and channel 50 was still all-sports (like
ESPN later on).
It's curious that channel 4, WWJ-TV, is running Steve Allen (apparently the syndicated Filmways
show) at 9am. Wasn't this show, like his earlier Group W show, intended for late night?

The funeral was the following day. Due to the funeral, the Academy Awards was postponed for
48 hours until 4/10.

I believe WKNX carried the feed of the captain at 8, followed by the Central feed at 9 -- I had
other TVGs of this edition from the mid-to-late 1960s that carried the Captain in this fashion,
though early on they carried both feeds in its entirety.
1:00 Dream House (c/ABC)
Up until they picked up "Dream House", they carried Sunrise Semester "live" at this time. Most
other CBS affiliates pre-recorded Sunrise Semester for air the next morning and carried local or
syndicated programming at 1PM.

Fascinating.
The Johnny in Mary Kay and Johnny was Johnny Olson, later announcer for The Price Is Right and
other Goodson-Todman game shows, as well as The Jackie Gleason Show.
Frederic Wertham was a self-aggrandizing quack on a career against comic books. He almost
succeeded in killing the industry and did get rid of many of the golden age titles. He went and
interviewed prison inmates. They said they had read comic books as kids; so, he concluded
comics cause crime. He also decided the Batman and Robin were "the dream-wish of two
homosexuals living together" (which probably says more about him than about the characters).
Just shows - then and now - any nut can get air time.
The full title of "Newsreel" was "The Esso Newsreel," an early local news broadcast sponsored by
the oil company in markets in the Northeast. Esso (Standard Oil of New Jersey) is now Exxon. Oil
companies don't advertise much any more. They don't clean your windshield and check your oil
as they fill up your tank either. And they don't give free glasses or dishes with a fill-up.
Henry Fonda played "Mister Roberts" in the original Broadway cast, as he did in the film. None of
the other cast members were in the movie. Marlon Brando's sister, Jocelyn, was the nurse
(played by "I've Got A Secret's" Betsy Palmer on film). Steven Hill, DA Adam Schiff on Law &
Order and the first head of the Impossible Mission Force, played Stefanowski (played by Harry
Carey, Jr. in the movie).

WNHC-6 (now WTNH on Channel 8) New Haven didn't go on the air until June 15th, so the only
way New Havenites could have seen "Tonight On Broadway" was:
(1) If they had a huge antenna aimed towards New York City (I think there may have been a few
elevated areas in and west of New Haven where TV sets could pick up the New York stations),
and,
(2) Perhaps at the WNHC studios, since the station was ten weeks away from going on the air
and may have had much of it's studio and control-room equipment in-place, allowing those at
the station to be able to watch the program.
I'm not 100% sure, but I have heard an urban legend that at first, WNHC got network programs
merely by picking-up the WNBT, WCBS, WABD, and (when it went on the air that Summer) WJZ-7
(now WABC) signals off-air.

For many years, in response to Wertham's scare tactics, comics became very conservative and
went away from the wilder action of the golden age of the 30's and 40's. Many comic books had
the "Comics Code Authority" seal of aproval stamped on the cover. Anyone know when that
went away?

Use of the code seal withered away starting in 1971 when Spiderman published a three-issue
story line dealing with drug abuse which the code authority would not approve. Stan Lee went
ahead any way. After that, newer publishers often didn't bother with it. Established publishers
treated the seal as optional and would publish selected titles or specific issues without it.
It lasted longer than the NAB Code and the MPAA ("Hays Office) movie code.

The "Esso Newsreel" was seen on Mondays and Thursdays on NBC
from mid-1946 to February 1948, when it expanded to five nights
a week, gained a new sponsor (Camel) and was renamed the "Camel
Newsreel Theatre." Esso did sponsor "Your Esso Reporter" on CBS
in the summer of 1951; it aired only in the East and Far West, where
Esso was marketed. And probably every one of those markets had a
local "Your Esso Reporter" in the 1950s (WFMY and WTVD did where I
lived).
BTW, you can't get a free road map at a gas station anymore.

You can't get anything at a gas station anymore, other than gas, unless you go in THE STORE!
I miss the old greasy dudes with those dirty handkerchiefs in their back pockets asking "filler up
sir" (Dads always drove). "Check under the hood for ya? Now, if you asked the girl behind the
counter in THE STORE if she would check under your hood, she would probably call a cop.
Remember taking long road trips with your folks and gas stations were the place to go (and I
mean that!). All you could get was a Coke-cola and some Nabs, and my Dad made us finish the
sodas before we left the station.
I mean that deposit on the bottle was 3 cent, I think!

"Your Esso Reporter" was on WBZ in Boston. There are some clips of "Esso Reporter" broadcasts
from Brazil on YouTube, where it seems they sponsored broadcasts through the 60s.

"The Johnny in Mary Kay and Johnny was Johnny Olson, later announcer for The Price Is Right
and other Goodson-Todman game shows, as well as The Jackie Gleason Show."
You'd logically assume that, since Johnny Olson was host of a daytime variety show on DuMont,
"Johnny Olson's Rumpus Room", which he carried over from New York radio.
But the TV show Mary Kay and Johnny featured a different Johnny. he was Johnny Stearns, real-
life husband of his TV co-star Mary Kay Stearns. They had a baby son, Christopher, born at the
end of 1948, whose impending birth was worked into the show rather like Lucille Ball would
work her son Desi Jr.'s birth into I Love Lucy five years later. Unlike Lucy and Desi Jr., however,
Christopher Stearns actually was worked into the cast as an infant and began appearing regularly
on camera six weeks after his birth. He was the youngest regular on any network series in
American TV history for six decades. (He's now 64 years old, but has not appeared on TV since
his parents' sitcom ended in the spring of 1950.) Christopher Stearns' TV career was short but his
record as the youngest regular in any American series TV cast was unbroken from January 1949
until Kourtney Kardashian's son Mason Disick appeared starting literally at the moment of his
birth in December 2009 as a regular in his mother's reality show Keeping Up With The
Kardashians.
After Mary Kay and Johnny folded, Johnny Stearns became a behind-the-scenes producer for
NBC (including serving as Steve Allen's first producer for the Tonight show, starting even before it
became a network show), and a busy voiceover artist. He was busy in that role until his passing
in 2001 at the age of 85. Mary Kay Stearns is alive. 87 years old and living in retirement in
California.

"Your Esso Reporter" also appeared on radio stations within the Esso marketing area (along the
East Coast from Maine to South Carolina, and across to Tennessee, Arkansas, and Louisiana).
"Esso Reporter" sponsorship was exclusive to one station in each market.
According to "Esso Reporter" listings on some old Esso road maps I have (I actually collect road
maps!), the radio version was mostly heard on NBC stations, although in a few cities, the radio
version was broadcast on a CBS affiliate.
The "Esso Reporter" also aired on NBC3 (WPTZ-WRCV-KYW) in Philly during the same period -
probably other markets in Esso's (S-O, Standard Oil of NJ, later Exxon) operating territory, as well.
In the midwest, Standard Oil of Indiana (later AMOCO and still later BP) sponsored the Standard
Oil News Round-up ("brought to you by more than 10,000 Standard Oil dealers and agents
throughout Mid-America who give meaning to the pledge: You expect more from Standard and
you get it").
Also in Philly, an oil company sponsor did the first traffic reporting in the region as "the Atlantic
(later Arco) Go Patrol," first exclusively on WCAU.
It's been years since oil companies advertised but back then they were blue-chip advertisers and
sponsored blue-chip programming.
In Ohio, The Sohio Reporter aired for many years on Radio and on TV in Cleveland, Youngstown,
Toledo, Cincinnati, Columbus, Zanesville and Dayton. WXEL/WJW-TV had Sohio Reporter with
Warren Guthrie from 1951-1963..in 1953, the TV audience was estimated at 500,000 for the
nightly 11PM Newscast,..over all seven stations..

...in addition to the NBC run, Your Esso Reporter also had a CBS prime time slot from 12 July to
13 September 1951, according to Brooks & Marsh. However, that run -- 9:00 to 9:30 ET/PT on
Thursdays -- was only seen in the Eastern and Pacific time zones, where Esso was marketed; in
the Midwest, where the same company used the trade name Enco, a live production of Meet
Corliss Archer was fed from Hollywood instead. The same script was performed live the following
night at 10:00 PM ET/PT for those stations that had carried Your Esso Reporter; what the
Midwest got at that time, Brooks & Marsh don't say...

So yeah, no "Jeopardy!" airing in Nashville at this time, but viewers were treated
to two airings of syndicated "Cosby Show" reruns on 2, along with double runs of "Mama's
Family", "The Judge" and two airings of "Love Connection"
on 17. Between that station and channel 30 you get three different airings of Robert
'Success N Life' Tilton. Best of all, you get a double run of "Bonanza" and three
airings of "Studs" on channel 30, because one or two just wasn't enough.

Retro: This Week In TV Guide, April 4, 1970 - MSP Edition
This week, we take a look at the state of variety and talk shows circa 1970. There's also a historic
final match in bowling's Firestone Tournament of Champions, another political discussion in
Letters to the Editor, a profile of The Brady Bunch's Robert Reed, and a preview of the
(technological) shape of things to come...
http://www.itsabouttv.com/2013/04/th...il-4-1970.html
As always your comments, both positive and negative, are welcome.
And here's this week's programming listing. Note that on Tuesday I'll be posting a bonus listing
from this week at my blog site, along with more extensive commentary (or at least some snide
asides) than I usually have room for in this forum.

How long did 'CCO air Lassie on a week(?) delay? Network feed would have been
at 6 PM CT. Guess they wanted that 6:00 newscast every night.

So Robert Reed expected "The Brady Bunch" to be a realistic show. Didn't the fact that Sherwood
Schwartz, the man who gave us "Gilligan's Island", was the producer tip him off?
As for "Lassie", the Twin Cities was not the only market it was shown on tape delay. Somewhere
around 1966 WHDH, the then-CBS affiliate in Boston, delayed "Lassie" and "The John Forsythe
Show" by a week and aired them 5p-6p on Saturday nights. They had movies on Sunday airing in
the fringe time before network prime time.

Surprised that WTCN 11 as an independent station owned by Metromedia was not airing
WOnderama with Bob McCallaster on Sunday mornings. Channel 5 WNEW TV New York, 11
KTTV Los Angeles, 5 WTTG DC, and newly signed on independents in the 70's ran it as well. Also
even ABC affiliate 9 KMBC Kansas City ran Wonderama but they only ran it for 2 hours and not
3...WHY??? Because one hour of the three hour Wonderama show employed Bugs Bunny, Porky
Pig, and Daffy Duck cartoons in which all the Metromedia independents had rights to. The
Kansas City station did not have those rights so they ran only live segements. Wonderama was a
live show with a large audience of kids where they had various game segements, music
segements, and guest appearances. It was taped during the week in the afternoon to air
Sundays.

Marckd, not sure how long after this it was, but from my own memory banks I know WTCN was
airing Wonderama on Sunday mornings by 1973 (someone on another message board mentions
it airing in 73-74). Wikipedia [sic] says that Metromedia purchased WTCN in 1971 and took it
over in 1972; that could explain the timeline.

The following week (April 11th-17th, 1970), much network programing was pre-empted for the
Apollo 13 space flight.
The "big three" had each pre-empted a couple of hours early that afternoon to show the launch
and another half-hour late that afternoon to cover the maneuver whereas the command module
separated from the third stage of the Saturn 5 rocket and docked with the lunar module (which
during launch was in a shroud between the command module and the third stage of he rocket).
The networks weren't planning any more live coverage (apart from brief progress reports) until
the spacecraft was to go into orbit around the moon on Tuesday, April 14th.
Of course, late on the evening of April 13th, everything changed (the service module exploded,
forcing the astronauts to use the lunar module as a "lifeboat"), and the networks broke into
regular programming to report on the emergency. They were on the air all night, and there were
frequent updates and several special programs through the splashdown on the 17th.

OH That explains why Wonderama was missing. I had always thought Metromedia owned
Channel 11 Minneapolis since "The Beginning Of Time" (like in the late 50's??). So thius means
that Wonderama hit Channel 11 in 1971 sometime when Metromedia bought them.
Now a mystery to me - Why would WTCN as a Metromedia general entertainment station with
strong shows want NBC affiliation in 1978/1979??? My theory is THEY DID NOT. NBC just did not
want to affiliate with Channel 9 when Hubbard evicted them from Channel 5 for ABC. My theory
is NBC twisted arms at WTCN and they decided to go ahead and affiliate. They then sold the
cartoons and less desirable sitocms they lacked room for to Channel 9 who had no cartoons or
sitcoms to speak of as an ABC station plus back then boosting to 40 hours a week of news was
not an option. Still Channel 11 kept the strongest sitcoms and ran them as an NBC affiliate. They
did sell Channel 11 in 1982 to Gannett who moved the station to more of a traditional network
station with more first run syndication and news. Channel 9 stayed a traditional independent till
the early 2000's when talk and reality became the in thing.

I'm fairly certain that it was during George C. Scott's co-hosting of the Mike Douglas Show this
week that Scott sarcastically read the lyrics to "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" in dramatic
fashion to show how absurd they were without music.

I believe because no network wanted to get saddled with KMSP, which at the time was a poorly-
rated, poorly-performed station, so when KSTP got ABC (and WCCO opting to keep CBS), NBC
had no choice but to affiliate with WTCN. In the end the tables were turned -- KMSP did much
better as an independent superstation, while WTCN's ratings plummetted, especially due to
being saddled with NBC, at the time when its ratings were at its lowest.

His reading was also accompanied by "rain" actually falling on him, starting with a few sprinkles
and ending with a downpour, all while acting like nothing has happened.

I need to make a correction. I'm so used to listing Carol Burnett on
CBS stations Saturdays at 10 that I forget sometimes that she did not
move to that timeslot until December 1972. The 10 PM program on WCHS
should be "Mission: Impossible."

At the time (October) Carol aired Wednesdays at 8 (ET); Sonny and Cher
aired Fridays at 8. As of December, Carol moved to Saturdays at 10, Sonny
and Cher to her former Wednesday slot, and "Mission: Impossible" to Fridays
at 8 (although it was Carol's summer replacement in 1973).

Re: Hawaii, March 20-24, 1972
And of course, the network newscasts were seen very late at night because they had to be
recorded off the network feed in Los Angeles, flown across the Eastern Pacific, and ferried to the
stations.
The ABC and NBC newscasts aired on a ten-and-a-half hour delay; while the CBS newscast was
on a twelve-hour delay (this assumes that the 6:30 P.M. ET---3:30 Pacific---feed was taped and
flown across the ocean).
Better than nothing, I presume.

I'll bet it was a typo; the NBC affiliate probably carried the NBC game, Brewers-Yankees (NBC
didn't have Saturday afternoon exclusivity yet).

It was a children's show that ran for many years on KOCO. Here's a clip from 1972, when it was
on on weekdays:

Right, NBC didn't get exclusivity until 1984, as part of the final TV contract for NBC and ABC.
I'm assuming KWTV part of the Rangers' regional TV network, and the 'typo' would be channel 4
showing the NBC telecast?

Re: Retro: Oklahoma Tuesday, April 10, 1979
700 Club at 7 AM on KXTX??? Unusual - Usually that aired live at 10 AM eastern, 9 AM Central -
CBN stations had cartoons in the 7 to 9 AM slot - I vaguely remember though CBN experimented
in VA Beach in the SUmmer of 79 and moved religion to 7 AM and a movie late morning and that
fall reinstaed cartoons. I guess KXTX did that as well.
Would love to have a schedule from November of 1979 from this market - By then three
independent stations in Oklahoma City signed on - maybe one from 1981 - by then Tulsa had 2
indies sign on - When you can - Thanks - if you can

Probably a weekly program, since most stations were running different shows
at 6:30 each night at the time; the practice of "stripping" didn't really become
the norm until about 1980 or '81. In fact, I was surprised to see KOCO not carrying
"Tic Tac Dough" at 6:30 because I know they eventually did.
Also, I have in the past posted schedules from the 1980 TV Guide Fall Preview issue,
and will get up some from the '81 Fall Preview issue.

What about the other stations?
The paper in Kingman should have carried the listings for KPHO-TV, given that it had statewide
coverage (except for the Tucson market) when it was an independent station. KNXV might have
not had a translator up there yet, and KUTP was still too new.
The views expressed are not necessarily those of my employer.

Interesting strategy here, pairing the spinoff (still an ABC daytime rerun until June) with the
parent show (which hit syndication the previous September as "Happy Days Again"). No daytime
Feud to be found in Denver, however..

And maybe, just maybe, checks for altitude-related maladies such as nosebleed, dizzyness, ear-
popping, miner's lung, and the "Orange Crush?" In the Mile High City, sounds like a winner to me
(and Don Meredith shoulda been given a drug test while they were at it).

What did Channel 9 normally air at 7:30 PM? I'm guessing "Joker's Wild" which is seen after
"M*A*S*H" in late night?

Note only 60 minutes for "A Boy Named Charlie Brown," which was 86 minutes long in theaters.
I remember seeing this severely cut version on our CBS station.

Actually, KUSA pre-empted "Feud." If you noticed by their schedule KUSA was running
"M*A*S*H" and "Happy Days (Again)" twice, the latter airing in place of "Family Feud."

CBS had shown all its Peanuts movies cut to fit the 60-minute time slot, with commercials,
meaning that practically half the film was scissored when it aired on CBS. The only way you could
watch the films complete on TV (apart from home video) was either on a pay channel, or in
syndication to local stations.

Did 'The Benny Hill Show' air anywhere in Denver(on weekends, perhaps?) I thought 'After
Benny, Thames Presents' was intended to be shown, as the name implies, immediately following
Benny. Did any markets have Benny's show on one channel, and this show on another?

As a "Peanuts" fan, I'm curious....I wonder what scenes got the axe to fit the movie into a one-
hour slot with commercials?
KMGH 7 (CBS)
WVTV/Milwaukee aired both "Benny Hill" and "After Benny," so chances are these stations got
both shows as a package from Taffner (The US distributor for Thames' catalog).
WTVT in Tampa Bay (then a sister to WVTV) also aired both, but not at the same time. Around
1980-1982, WTVT usually aired "After Benny" for a few weeks in Benny Hill's spot at 7:30PM on
Saturdays, after "Dance Fever".

This is what I believe was cut early:
Kite flying sequence
Baseball game
Charlie Brown feeding Snoopy after losing tic tac toe to Linus
Snoopy's Red Baron dream and running to sleep in Charlie Brown's bed
Lucy's psychiatric session with Charlie Brown
There was probably more cut later, but I'm not exactly sure what.

Re: Retro: Hartford/Springfield Sat, Apr 13, 1968
Does anyone know what "Boomtown" with Rex Trailer was about? It ran on WBZ-TV 4 weekend
mornings for many years and went three hours or more. I assume it was a kids show, perhaps
with cartoons. But three hours is a long time. And what did Mr. Trailer do?
I also notice that ABC had no 10:30pm program on this Saturday. WNHC 8 put in what I assume
was a syndicated showing of Truth or Consequences (a game show at 10:30 Saturday?) and both
WCVB 7 and WHYN-TV 40 just went into their late movie. Was this a regular practice with ABC?
And I see that CT Public Broadcasting is off the air on Saturdays in 1968. That's odd. Even if they
didn't have daytime educational shows to run, most NET stations at least ran a prime time
schedule on weekends.

Please do an on-line search under "Rex Trailer" and you will see the answer to your question and
much more information. Rex Trailer just passed away in January.

It was quite common into the 60s for educational stations to have a prime-time only schedule, or
even no programming, on the weekends. Weekend programming was seen as too expensive for
the relatively few viewers they had. Even WNDT New York didn't broadcast on weekends during
this period because they simply didn't have the funds.

To add about educational stations.....in the 1960's, some were programed to be viewed by
students in school; therefore, there was morning and early-afternoon programming. Then, other
than showing a test pattern and tone, nothing may be shown until early evening for household
viewing.

I use (5) to designate a black TV Guide channel listing. 3 is a white listing. You'll notice that
Knoxville had a full-time ABC affiliate and Greenville-Spartanburg sort of had two. But in 1961
Charlotte and Kingsport-Johnson City-Bristol had only two VHF stations, no stations on UHF and
no fulltime ABC affiliates. And there were no Educational stations in this region yet.
You'll notice that EVERY station in this TV Guide runs something different at 10:30 except the two
UHF ABC stations. I wonder why? Since there are no O&O stations in this TV Guide, I don't know
what network shows these stations were skipping. I think Mike Hammer and Jim Backus were
syndicated offerings. In a few other cases, stations with two network affiliates may have used
10:30 Thursday to run a show they failed to air earlier in the week.

Re: Retro: Carolina-Tennesse TV Guide Thurs. Feb. 2, 1961
WTVK-26 was the only ABC station in the region that carried the network's evening newscast.
This was about two months after John Charles Daly left ABC; he anchored the network's evening
newscast and for much of that time, actually ran the ABC News division. Imagine Scott Pelley,
Diane Sawyer, or Brian Williams today not only anchoring their network's newscast but also
serving as head of their network's news department!
Back then, ABC News was very much third-ranked; they had far fewer people and less on-air
time than the news divisions of CBS and NBC. And Daly's departure probably hurt (as an anchor,
he was as good as any in the business); I wouldn't be surprised is a few ABC stations dropped the
newscast after Daly left.
Of course, a station affiliated with both ABC and another network back then, given a choice of
either Bill Shadel's "ABC News Evening Report" and either NBC's "Huntley/Brinkley Report" or
the "CBS Evening News with Douglas Edwards" would choose the CBS or NBC newscast over
ABC's.

Re: Retro: Boston - Tuesday, April 12, 1949
According to that day's New York Times:
(1) NBC's wrestling show originated from St. Nicholas Arena in New York City. According to
Brooks and Marsh, NBC did a lot of boxing and wrestling telecasts from that venue in the late
1940's, as well as the feature boxing match every Friday night (usually) at Madison Square
Garden. The latter, which began to originate from other cities as time went on and other cities
got connected to network lines, would continue on NBC through 1960 and on ABC from 1960
through 1964 (although from 1960 through 1963, the fights were on Saturdays).
(2) DuMont and flagship WABC-5's boxing show originated from Westchester County Center and
began at 9:30 P.M. EST, meaning WNAC-7 missed the first 45 minutes of the show.
Hawaii, March 18, 1972
Note: KHON pre-empted the Australian import series "Barrier Reef", which NBC airs at 10:30AM
(ET)/9:30AM (CT) stateside. Also TV Guide had a notice about the NCAA Men's Basketball
tournament in which the UH Rainbow (Warriors) are involved and if they survived the playoffs
KHON would pre-empt shows to carry the games. Unfortunately, they lost in the quarterfinals to
Weber State 64-91 on March 11, 1972. Weber State would later be defeated by UCLA, who won
the Championship that year.

Re: Hawaii, March 18, 1972
Interesting that Hawaii still didn't have an English language independent station as late as 1972.
Only Asian languages KIKU 13.
The NET station didn't bother to sign on over the weekend. I know they didn't have classroom
programs to run during the day. But I thought most NET stations by 1972 ran a prime time
And no one ran a late evening newscast. The ABC and CBS stations ran only a 6pm newscast. And
Roger Mudd's CBS News ran at 1:30am. The NBC station didn't have any news at all.

Hawaii was a relatively small TV market in the 1970s - maybe in the Top 100 but not very high. It
probably couldn't support an English-language independent.
Probably too expensive to fly the tapes over from LA. Satellites were used only for live events
(mostly sports).

(mostly sports).
Even stateside, some PBS stations (PBS replaced NET in 1970) were still off the air on weekends,
or at least one day a week. From past schedules, at this time, WTCI Chattanooga, WETV (WPBA)
Atlanta, WTVI Charlotte and the UNC-TV network were still off on weekends. Same with WUSF in
Tampa, though they are off when college is not in session, meaning weekends, holidays, the
whole summer and probably a couple weeks in December and a week in spring; it'll be around
1974-1975 when WUSF would begin year-round seven-day service.

...was this a rerun of Rickles' 1968-69 ABC variety show? His then-current CBS series was a
domestic sitcom...

That WAS the CBS version, but TV Guide made it sound like his variety series. The description
reads like this:
"A poke at political image-making: Veteran heavy James Gregory plays a cowboy actor itching for
a Senate seat; Don is the eager ad man pitched to sell the candidate"

Would KHON-2 have used a satellite to feed the network broadcast of the game live to Hawaii, or
would tapes have been flown back, meaning a same-day, but late-night, broadcast of the game??

KHON would've use satellite feed to either air it live or tape the game off the live feed and then
air it hours later the same day, depending on their schedule, since the West Regional
Quarterfinals was played in Provo, Utah on March 11, 1972, and given Hawaiians' loyalty to UH
and their sporting programs, they would like to see it in action now rather than later.

The game aired in Pocatello, Idaho as I recall and I have part of the game on 2 inch quad. I co-
produced the 2007 documentary on the UH Basketball team called the "Fabulous Five"; they
were the most successful UH hoops team we have ever had.

Re: Retro: This Week In TV Guide, April 15, 1970 - MN State Edition
"Bandwagon" (9:30 on KEYC, pushing Password to 10:30pm) is a polka/old tyme music show that
is STILL on the air: http://www.keyc.tv/category/204417/bandwagon
I suspect that since "Bandwagon" tapes once a month thee days that all four shows for the
month are taped back-to-back the same evening.
yes
1st Monday of the month except March (no taping...NCAA b-ball on CBS) and September (Labor
Day.,..they do it the week before so in August there are 2 tapings...looks like this year they're
doing it on Sept 9th)
7:30 taping starts
use to be different band each week when they were in the studio.
I really wanted to see this months if they mention Dick's Passing (he died the day of the
taping...he had been on the show since 1974) or if they didnt.

I think these were the TV listings for April 14, 1913, if I'm not mistaken.

What a joke! No TV listings!
There seems to be so many sad things about missing TV listings. But hey, TV didn't exist back
then!

Re: Retro: Salt Lake City - 1/31/1996
Not the only example of Lauren Hutton in the wee hours. My local KIRO 7 used to put "Lauren
Hutton And..." at 1:05 in the morning! Not the best time for viewers!
I also see KSTU was showing Gomer Pyle USMC in very late overnight hours. I don't know who
was the LAST Big 4 to have Gomer Pyle, but four years to the new millennium was a good
syndication run for that show! M*A*S*H aired here until around 2005 on my now-CW station
(KSTW), and Taxi aired in weekend hours as late as 2005-2006 also on KSTW.

KTUD/25, formerly KCNG (was Re: Retro: Las Vegas Wed 5/12/99)
When I visited Vegas in '02, I was impressed with KTUD/25 (UPN), the former LPTV (now -CA
station). It was rare for a low power TV station to have the full-power kind of syndicated
programming such as "Perry Mason", "Bewitched", "I Dream of Jeannie" et.al. The signal was not
too shabby either. I believe they are in Stereo and on the local cable system as well. I had a
Walkman TV and was able to sample some of the local TV, including the LPTV's. The Las Vegas
UHF band is loaded with them! But, KTUD stood out. Does anybody have a schedule for
KTUD/25 from the summer of '02 handy? Eric Stein would probably know more about about that
"little" station.

The funny thing is that in all my recent visits to Las Vegas, I have yet to see KTUD because the
hotels don't carry them on their TV systems. But, from following their schedule as they
progressed, in the past five years, they've added off-network reruns of The Simpsons and King of
the Hill, then with the cooperation of KLAS, they started airing Oprah Winfrey and KLAS also
produces a 10 PM news that many times gets higher ratings than News Central on the full-
powered Sinclair WB station. The current and previous owners have really put a lot of money
into improving the operation.

With all that was available in the children's educational syndication marketplace in 1999, how
come KFBT, by then operated by Sinclair, ran 27-year-old episodes of New Zoo Revue to meet
their E/I "three-hour rule" requirements? Other than that programming oddity, this is one of the
few stations that Sinclair had acquired and actually improved the station technically and in terms
of programming.

LPTV in Vegas
Once I located where your reply was, VC (PLEASE read the section on editing out quoted text in
the "guidelines" sticky!), I did what research I could for you.
> > just how many LPTV and/or-CA stations does Las Vegas have
> anyhow?
Lots.
KEEN-LP/17
KHDF-CA/19
KTUD-CA/25 (as already noted in this thread)
KELV-LP/27
KVPX-LP/28
KNBX-CA/31
KVTE-LP/35
K41IO/41
K43FO-CA/43
K46GX/46
KGNG-LP/47
KLSV-LP/50
KEGS-LP/63 (is moving to channel 30)
KLVD-LP/67 (is moving to channel 23)
> and what kind of programming do they run?
KEEN: Independent (family religious) http://www.vegas35tv.com/
K41IO: TBN
K43FO: Three Angels

KGNG: Home Shopping Network
KLSV: Home Shopping en Espaol
KEGS: Ms Msica
KLVD: Daystar
* - As near as I can figure out, channel 31 was KNBX-LP, switched to KEGS-CA when launched by
Sports Gaming Players Network, then switched "back" to KNBX-CA two months later, when
channel 67 became KEGS-LP.
K46GX in Henderson is a translator for KLAS/8.
I make no claim that this is 100% accurate, but I'm sure I'm over 90%. Sources are the FCC
database, Doug Smith's W9WI site, and various Google searches.______________

Re: Retro: Salt Lake City 4-17-87

I know it's been years since the change, but KSL's affiliation shift is something I haven't been able
to wrap my mind around. A number of stations have flipped networks (especially in the mid-90s)
but KSL being NBC and WRGB having been CBS for more than three decades are the maybe the
only two that I haven't gotten used to and probably never will.

What about the PBSs? And KSTU? Hard to believe a major paper like the Deseret News listed
only three stations.

Here's an odd one....Once again going on 20 years, it seems odd in Baltimore for WMAR-2 to be
ABC (after being NBC for 14 years), and WJZ-13 to be CBS (after being ABC since its inception),
but WBAL-11 being NBC is just right. Those 14 years as CBS for it never seemed to fit..

Sometimes it's hard to fathom a Channel 4 being a Fox affiliate (not in Salt Lake City, per se) - and
yet, here we are...
By the way, I have a feeling 4 and 5 pre-empted their networks' Friday night lineups.
And 4 didn't clear "Nightline"?

Re: Retro: Phoenix/Flagstaff Wed, Apr 18, 1979
As a former Flagstaff and Phoenix resident I've often wondered what happened to the
KOAI/KNAZ news archives when the news department was shut down a few years ago. Was it
sent to KPNX, the NBC affiliate in Phoenix, donated to the NAU journalism department,
destroyed or what? Sometime later in 1979, not exactly sure when KTAR became KPNX due to
the acquisition of Gannett.

A CBS affiliate in a major market airing home shopping programming in a prime daytime hour?

Value TV was a syndicated show that was shopping but only one hour - called VTV and produced
by Fox actually for their O & O stations and syndicated to other stations in other markets -
SHORT LIVED - gone by the summer.
ALSO would like to see listings for the independent stations KPHO, KNXV, KUTP. Ironically only
one of those are still independent today while two of the network stations here are
independents today. I count Fox stations as independents still being Fox only programs a couple
hours a day except for sports sometimes. Thanks

The syndicator offered "Dynasty" as a half-hour or hour-long program. When WTOG carried the
show, it was the full hour.
Splitng hour shows into half-hours in syndication is not uncommon -- "The Rookies" and "BJ /
Lobo" also got that treatment. Just like "Dynasty", stations were offered to carry either the half-
hour or hour-long versions.

Wow. How do you edit a 60 min. show down to 30 minutes? And I wonder how well some mid-
level technician took artistic pains to creatively do it? It might be fun to watch a 60 minute
Dynasty or The Rookies and see what happens when you watch the 30 min. version.
At least Dynasty is episodic. Perhaps they were able to get two 30 min. episodes out of a single
60 min. show. But I doubt you could do that with The Rookies, or heaven forbit, BJ/Lobo.

MCA offered "Knight Rider" in either 30- or 60-minute syndicated versions around the same time
too. That show, like "Dynasty," did not last in traditional syndication for long.

KTSP also picked up the short lived "Home Shopping Game" later that year too.

YOU DON'T!!! What actually happens is they will divide a one hour show into two days - So you
will have part one and part 2 of an episode and then part one and part 2 of the next episode.
yes BJ/Lobo, Knight Rider, Fantasy Island were given these options - among others.

KUTP was huge with movies - They filled a void that KPHO was leaving. KPHO was running
movies only on weekends - KNXV ran an average amount of them - KUTP ran huge amounts -
seems they had many MGM movies and seemed to overlap with TBS quite alot. They would
slowly move away from movies in the 90's.

KNXV was lining up to be "the kids station" in town - and that did happen after Wallace &
Ladmo's run ended in late 1989. They picked up "Ducktales," off-net "Cheers" and "Star Trek: The
Next Generation" in the fall which really put them on the map.

KUTP called themselves "The Movie Station" in promos at this time. They were just over a year
old and still going through growing pains. They had much of the Warner Bros. movie library
locked up (Warner owned a small share of Chris Craft's broadcasting unit).

KUSK was a shoestring operation for many years. Public-domain movies, syndicated programs
larger Phoenix stations passed on, and Hit Video USA overnights (I believe they would later put it
on afternoons as well). It did serve a purpose during the Summer when they piped in Major
League Baseball from a few California teams. It is presently a much better independent station,
despite the trash talk they air in the afternoons.

I remember when KUTP signed on 1/1/86, first program at 5:00am in the morning was "Felix the
Cat". That was fun watching the station come on air. It has come a long way since then!

The "Telecopter Reports" in the morning were likely ordinary traffic reports, which even back
then were a necessity in a city like Los Angeles.
Also, I suspect that the 6-6:15 P.M. hour (PT) on several stations was divided between 15 minute
local and 15 minute network newscasts.
KRCA-4 undoubtedly aired "Huntley/Brinkley" at 6:15, but did KNXT-2 air "The CBS Evening
News" (with Douglas Edwards) at 6:30 or 6:45?? And since no programming for KABC-7 was
listed for 5:30 to 6 P.M., can I assume that the station aired "The ABC News Evening Report" (I
think Bill Shadel was a fill-in anchor in early 1961 following John Charles Daly's departure at the
end of 1960) and a local 15-minuite newscast in the 5:30-6 P.M. half-hour??

Well, it was an RKO-General station. They did the same thing on WOR New York, and less
frequently on WNAC Boston (since they were a network affiliate).
One other Boston connection. John Willis came East and hosted "Good Morning!" (which
became "Good Day" when it was syndicated) in 1973 on WCVB and was there for 15 years or so.
He passed away about 10 years ago. His son is the morning DJ on WKLB Country 102.5 Boston
these days.

I'm surprised by the listing for KRCA on Selma Avenue. I thought they were in the Burbank
building at 3000 W. Alameda by the late 50s. They had been in the Sunset and Vine NBC studios
prior to that. Anybody have the story?
I did a Google Street view of 6258 Selma. It's a parking lot now, but the footprint is large enough
for studio space to have been there.

Re: Retro: Hollywood/San Diego/Santa Barbara, Wednesday, February 8, 1961
...apologies for the subject line goof -- February 8, 1961, was a Wednesday, not a Thursday. The
subject line is hereby corrected here...
And since no programming for KABC-7 was listed for 5:30 to 6 P.M.
...look again, JG. KABC-TV/7 ran the ABC rerun of The Lone Ranger...

Finally, the answer to something that has been guesswork for me
for a time. We know that in the '70s there was no noon break for
NBC's West Coast affiliates (for example, "Three On A Match" was
on at 1:30 ET/12:30 CT/12 N PT). And I see here that there was
no noon break in '61 either (Jan Murray was on at 2 ET/1 CT/12 PT).
OTOH, ABC followed the Eastern version of daytime; CBS, the Central.
But off-topic: I still don't understand why some of ABC's affiliates in
the Central time zone ran daytime shows simultaneously with the East
("American Bandstand" at 3 in Huntsville, AL, for example) while others
delayed the schedule an hour ("AB" at 4 in Houston).

Also on the old Sunset and Vine grounds was RCA Victor's first "Music Center of the World" West
Coast recording complex; the address associated with that studio was 1510 North Vine Street,
where they were based from March 2, 1959 until April 1, 1964 - on April 21, RCA moved their
West Coast "Music Center" hub to 6363 Sunset Blvd. where they stayed up to its closure in early
'77.

Channel 7, 10:00 am: The Ray Milland Show;
This fine actor had a short-lived sitcom that ran on CBS, and was rerun in various places in
syndication.
The show was created by Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher, who would later create Leave It To
Beaver.
Here is video of the show's opening credits. Full episodes are available at YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BDciA-tGmQ
I noticed "Seven Keys" on Channel 5. It had been a local
program for about a year but was about to move to ABC
(April 3). After ABC dropped it in 1964 it returned to local
LA TV for a few months, finally ending early in 1965. AFAIK,
Jack Narz was its only host.

Re: Retro: Michigan Sat, Apr 16, 1977
Especially nice to see CBS' great Saturday night line-up listed here. At the height of the disco era,
when many Baby Boomers were single and dating, people stayed home to watch TV on Saturday
night.
Now, CBS and the other networks don't even try to program Saturday night, have given up on
the idea of getng people to stay home and just chuck in some re-runs.
This, more than anything, shows the sad state of network television.

Something to note here: While WWJ-TV was the flagship of the Tigers' TV network back then,
the team was owned by broadcaster John Fetzer -- two of his stations, WKZO-TV and
WWTV/WWUP are part of the network. They certainly had all of Michigan covered back then,
and if memory serves me right, the games were also carried in Toledo, Ohio (though I forget
which station carried them).

Did the old WWJ-4 usually clear "Saturday Night Live" in the Spring of 1977 but didn't this
particular week since the late news after the baseball game probably didn't end in-time for the
station to pick-up "SNL" from the start??

WWJ 4-NBC Detroit
1:00 At the Zoo (Win Eliot)
The actual host was longtime WWJ/WDIV weatherman Sonny Elliot. Win Elliot was a New York-
based sports commentator.
WNEM 5-NBC Bay City
7:00 Special Treat "It's a Brand New World" (an animated remedial Bible class for aspiring angels)
Apparently delayed from earlier in the week -- WNEM had shown a 4PM afternoon movie at the
time.
11:00 News
It wasn't until shortly after the original "Not Ready For Prime-Time Players" left the show in 1980
that WNEM picked up SNL -- unless you had cable or lucky enough to get a station in an adjacent
market, the only exposure to SNL at the time was the prime-time best-of specials.
WXYZ 7-ABC Detroit
The occasional series that became the weekly "ABC Weekend Special" that fall.
WCMU 14-Mount Pleasant/WCML 6-Alpena/WUCM 19-Flint (PBS)
WUCM was licensed to University Center, an unincorporated part of Bay County located centrally
between Bay City, Saginaw and Midland; the area is where WUCM's owner, Delta College, is
located. WUCM is now WDCQ, operating in the digital age on a license of a former WUCM
satellite licensed to Bad Axe -- the story is so convoluted, I'll let this article speak for itself:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WDCQ-TV
As for Flint, at the time it got a marginal signal from WUCM, as well as WKAR East Lansing and
WTVS Detroit -- it would not be until 1980 when Flint's own PBS outlet, WFUM (now WCMU
satellite WCMZ) goes on the air, and until 2009 when WDCQ moved its transmitter from Bad Axe
to closer to Bay City, providing decent digital coverage to Flint and the Tri-Cities.
How long did channel 55 in Alpena last? I thought the Alpena area didn't get local ABC coverage
until WBKB started their ABC subchannel earlier this year.
WKBD 50-Ind Detroit (the only Detroit UHF channel listed)

10:00 Lou Gordon (The Freep's Bob Talbert and Smokenders' Jackie Rogers discuss how to stop

11:45 Saturday Night (NBC, not cleared by 4)
Lou Gordon, who would die the following month, was normally 90-minutes, but had 15 extra
minutes this night only, due to the unseen NBC movie running long.
...
...the Tigers' TV network back then... certainly had all of Michigan covered back then, and if
memory serves me right, the games were also carried in Toledo, Ohio (though I forget which
station carried them).
I believe WTOL channel 11 carried the Tigers.

Maybe "Here Comes The Sun" was a religious program of Sunrise prayers, perhaps produced in
cooperation with the churches of the Detroit area.

...no. WWJ-TV/4 did not air NBC's Saturday Night/Saturday Night Live at all for its first seasons,
dumping the show off to WKBD/50 starting with the 12 June 1976 broadcast

The listings have it as a discussion, but doesn't give any more info than that... ???
"Here Comes the Sun'...since it was scheduled (roughly) at sunrise, maybe...?

When did "Hee Haw" begin airing on WJBK? I know I recall seeing
a Michigan State edition around 1978 or '79 and it stuck out like
a sore thumb that on Saturdays at 7 "Hee Haw" was on Ch. 2 and
Lawrence Welk on Ch. 3 because we had a similar situation here in
North Carolina: "Hee Haw" on WFMY/2 and Lawrence Welk on WBTV/3,
also Saturdays at 7.

...considering WJBK was a CBS affiliate in those years, I'd imagine they started carrying Hee Haw
in 1969. ;D ...

Let me rephrase that. When did WJBK begin airing the
syndicated version of "Hee Haw"? I'm quite sure
they carried the CBS version.
Retro: Boston - WHDH Channel 5's last week on the air (March 11-17, 1972)
On Saturday, March 18, 1972 WHDH lost its last appeal to stay on the air. After the 11:00 PM
News, station manager Harold Clancy went on to make the announcement, and to thank all the
viewers and employees. WHDH channel 5 left the air that night after the late movie,
appropriately entitled Fixed Bayonets. The next morning WCVB took to the airwaves (sign-on
from YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_zsgWkNHr0). Many of both the on-air and
technical employees went to the new station, helping to make WCVB the success that it became.
Here are the listings for the last week of WHDH March 11-17, 1972. (I dont have a copy of the
last day as of now, but when I do I will post it.) By this time the court had ordered WHDH off the
air by 1 AM so WCVB could test their equipment. The copy of the TV Guide Im using is from
Western New England, but the three Boston network affiliates were listed. There is no mention
in the Guide of the possibility of the change (which could have happened at any time), and if the
change went into effect that the new WCVB would be the ABC affiliate and that CBS
programming would go to WNAC channel 7. I do remember seeing as a child (I was just shy of 6
when it happened) an ad in TV Guide proclaiming that the new WCVB was on the way. I cant
remember the exact date of the ad. Some shows survived to the new channel 5, most notably
Candlepin Bowling, and (for a while) Romper Room. Anywayhere is the last week of Bostons
WHDH, channel 5, CBS affiliate.

Re: Retro: Boston - WHDH Channel 5's last week on the air (March 11-17, 1972)
10:00a CBS Childrens Film Festival Up In The Air a 1969 British film with Jon Pertwee (color)
11:00a You Are There history (color)
Both shows were delayed from Saturday, due to baseball. Also, Jon Pertwee was notable as
being "The Third Doctor", assuming the role of Doctor Who shortly after that film was made.
1:00p Maverick
On the topic of sign-offs, I believe WXPO was showing an episode of that series in 1970 when
their power was cut off for non-payment, taking that station off the air for good.

12:00a Movie Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed! 1969 starring Peter Cushing (color)
I believe this was Friday's "CBS Late Movie", which was delayed to here so that WHDH could
show a local film.
Friday, March 17, 1972 evening
9:00p M*A*S*H (special) the pilot for the long running series (color)
And alas, the only time this series was shown on WHDH.
I dont have a copy of the last day as of now, but when I do I will post it.
Out of curiosity, when you do get the listings, if it's from a TVG, could you list the unrealised
WHDH schedule for 3/19 to 3/24? As the closure and switchover occurred after the next week's
TV Guides went on sale, I'm very sure the schedule in that issue was all WHDH's.

It's from TV Guide. I don't have the next issue (I keep looking for an Eastern or Western New
England edition) but if I ever come across it I will post it.

I had thought that it was on Friday March 17th, 1972 that the old WHDH-5 lost it's last appeal to
stay on the air.

Boston's Original (WHDH) Channel 5's Last Day On The Air, March 18th, 1972
According to the March 18th, 1972 Boston Globe, here's what the old WHDH-5 broadcast on it's
final day:
The Globe did not indicate what shows were in color; I suspect that the movie "Fixed Bayonets"
at 11:30 P.M. may have been the only black-and-white program on that's day schedule.
6:30 A.M. "Sunrise Semester"
7:00 A.M. "Young World"
8:00 A.M. "The Bugs Bunny Show"

8:30 A.M. "Scooby Doo, Where Are You?"
9:00 A.M. "Harlem Globetrotters (animated)"
9:30 A.M. "Help! It's The Hair Bear Bunch"
10:00 A.M. "Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm"
10:30 A.M. "Archie's TV Funnies"
11:00 A.M. "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch" (the animated show from the early 1970's)
(Note: "In The News" featurettes from CBS aired at 8:56, 9:26, 9:56, 10:26, 10:56 and 11:26
A.M.)
11:30 A.M. Local News
12 Noon "Candlepin Bowling Stars"
1:00 P.M. "Winning Pins" (candlepin bowling show featuring high-school aged bowlers; the host,
Bill O'Connell, just passed away)
1:30 P.M. Pre-Season Baseball: Boston Red Sox vs. Detroit Tigers at Lakeland, Florida (this would
be the final Red Sox game to air on Channel 5; WBZ-4 picked-up the Sox beginning with the pre-
season game the next weekend)
4:25 P.M. Red Sox Wrap-Up
4:30 P.M. "CBS Golf Classic" (videotaped golf match between the team of Dale Douglas and a
young Hale Irwin against the team of Miller Barber and Gene Littler; I believe this long-running
golf show was taped at the Firestone course in Akron, Ohio)
5:30 P.M. Local News
6:00 P.M. "The Week Ends Here" (local newsmagazine series; I think a young Chet Curtis was
host and also contributed stories)
7:00 P.M. Movie: "Carousel" (1956), with Gordon MacRae and a young Shirley Jones.
(during the 1971-72 season, the old WHDH-5 aired "All In The Family"---seen on most other CBS
stations at 8 P.M. ET/PT---on Tuesday nights at 7:30; and "Mary Tyler Moore"---seen everywhere
else at 8:30 that season---on Tuesdays at 8 P.M.)
9:00 P.M. "New Dick Van Dyke Show" (his short-lived 1970's sitcom comeback)
9:30 P.M. "Arnie" (one-season sitcom with Herschel Bernardi)
10:00 P.M. "Mission: Impossible"

11:00 P.M. Local News
11:30 P.M. Movie: "Bayonets" (1951), starring Richard Basehart. At the end of them movie, the
"old" Channel 5 went off the air forever.

stay on the air.
They tried to get an emergency hearing and stay on the 18th but failed. It's unusual but not
unheard of that the appeals court will take an emergency case on a weekend.

Re: Boston's Original (WHDH) Channel 5's Last Day On The Air, March 18th, 1972

Arnie ran for 2 seasons, 1970-1972

Another thing I was curious about was WNAC channel 7, which no doubt had to dump their ABC
programs in short order in exchange for CBS's -- no doubt that led to some considerable
confusion in the early days of the switch.

Here's WNAC's weekday daytime (6a-7p) schedule at the time:
6:20a Farm and Market Report
6:55a News
7:00a Major Mudd
9:00a Paul Benzaquin
10:00a Movie
11:30a That Girl
12:00p Virginia Graham
12:30p Password
4:00p Mayberry R.F.D.

4:30p Merv Griffin (90 minutes)
6:30p ABC News
7:00p Dick Van Dyke
I know that Major Mudd (local kids show) got moved to the afternoon because I used to watch
him. Paul Benzaquin (who recently passed away) stayed at 9am, and Merv kept the 4:30 pre-
news slot. AFAICR they didn't clear "The Edge of Night" and kept with syndicated reruns.

I wonder if the "old" WHDH, at the point they were finally kicked off the air in March 1972, still
had the RCA TK-42 and TK-43 color cameras they'd had since the 1966-67 period. It is definitely
known that the then-new WCVB, when it took over the Channel 5 signal, had to start, tech-wise,
entirely from scratch - and in its first few years, its studio camera was the Norelco PC-100 (the
U.S. designation for Philips' LDK-5). As for film chains, which ones did WCVB start with - and I'm
curious if WHDH retained their RCA TK-26's from the late '50's, or if they'd upgraded to TK-27's.

Interesting to note that ABC's new (at the time) sudzer "All My Children" was not being cleared
in Boston until the "new" Channel 5 WCVB took to the air.

AMC wasn't even cleared by WSBK, which was usually the dumping ground for ABC and NBC
daytime shows not cleared by the main affiliates. As for WHDH equipment, I know some was
donated to Dean Junior College in Franklin for their media department. I'm not sure of exactly
what, and what happened to the rest.

Re: Retro: Atlanta Tuesday, June 20, 1993
Actually, it should be April 20, 1993. I have to apologize for a
couple of errors yesterday; I've just started a new job as a reader

for the Arkansas state writing test for third graders and by the end
of the week you're seeing double and thinking half. I intend to be
back in the groove this week.
So you live in Arkansas? I thought bpatrick was more of a GA/Carolinas guy.
Anyway, Jane Whitney's show only lasted one season. I have half an episode from late 1992
taped off KTZZ 22 Seattle on a VHS, with commercials. Also, wasn't "Studs" mainly on Fox
stations? I thought it was syndicated, but most listings I see have the show on Fox stations.
-vcrainbebo
Actually, I do live in North Carolina and have spent most of my life in the Carolinas and Georgia.
The company I'm with scores statewide reading, writing, math, etc., tests from all over the
country; right now, our group is working on Arkansas and another is working on Connecticut. I
did live in Dallas for three years in the late '70s, and my dad, whose job took him over most of
the Southwest, would bring back Arkansas or Missouri editions of TV Guide when he had to go
up there (he used to pick up the Missouri one in Bentonville). The only areas in that part of the
country that still interest me are Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and Oklahoma City (the
latter because at the time KOCO was WXIA's sister station and both were using the "Alive"
moniker: 5 Alive in Oklahoma City and 11 Alive in Atlanta).

Retro: This Week in TV Guide, April 21, 1973 - MN State Edition
This week, Cliff Robertson is The Man Without a Country, Rex Harrison is Don Quixote, and Perry
Mason is John XXIII. Plus In Concert vs. The Midnight Special, Star Trek fans that won't go away,
and Nixon hoping to restore respect to the Presidency while the networks wonder if anyone's
going to be interested in the Watergate hearings.
And now the TV listings. Among the interesting things we see - commercial stations running
Sesame Street, and a plethora of syndicated reruns destined to some day wind up on classic TV.

New syndicated episodes of "Let's Make A Deal" were produced
from 1984-86; these may be the ones airing on Channel 9.

They couldn't be the 1984-1986 syndicated ones, though - that version didn't premiere until the
fall. It could be the previous syndicated one - the one taped in Canada?

It's possible the listing is wrong. This is from the Spencer, Iowa "Daily Reporter," a small daily
paper. The paper probably put the listings together themselves, and I doubt if anyone with KCAU
was checking it for accuracy.

Re: Retro: Evansville-Paducah Sat, Apr 29, 1972
Tom Butler was at WPSD channel 6 seemingly forever!
Was WNIN/9, the PBS station in Evansville, not listed then?
Not at that time...the only Evansville channels listed were ch 7, 14 and 25.
KFVS 12-CBS Cape Girdardeau
6:00 Sunrise Semester "Latin-American Literature"
6:30 News/Weather
Unless this is a repeat of the night before, it amazes me that even 41 years ago KFVS had a
Saturday morning newscast. There weren't many large markets (if any) that had weekend
newscasts much less weekend mornings. And even if a repeat, that feat alone is worth noting
considering the expensive of video tape during the time period.
Was WNIN/9, the PBS station in Evansville, not listed then?
WNIN wasn't on the air as of this date.
According to Wikipedia (take with grain of salt), WNIN signed on in March 1970:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WNIN_%28TV%29
If you read the rest of the entry...
WNIN signed on for the first time on March 5, 1970 owned by the Evansville Vanderburgh School
Corporation. After a few months as a member of National Educational Television, it joined PBS in
October.
Despite having the advantage of being on one of two VHF frequencies in the Tri-State, EVSC soon
found itself in over its head running a full-service public television station. Within a year, WNIN
was $59,000 in the red. Unable to raise enough money to close the gap, it took WNIN off the air
in 1972.
Both Wikipedia and WNIN's website (from which most of Wiki's article matches to the letter)
implies that it went back on the air in 1973...

At the time, WENH-11 (and the other New Hampshire Public Television stations) had a nightly
newscast at 7:30 on weeknights titled, as noted above, "New Hampshire News".
Was WETK-33/Vermont ETV's "Vermont Report" at 7:30 P.M. a weekly public affairs program or a
nightly newscast??
Given that WENH/NHPTV had a nightly newscast from 1972-81, it's possible WETK/VETV may
have, too.

After doing more research, the answer was "Yes": It aired starting in the Fall of m1976 as a
nightly news/public affairs series.

According to Shrp Sports, the game was in Houston and the Astros won 7-6.
I believe that after the early 1950's, it was not until the 1980's that St. Louis (baseball) Cardinals
home games were locally televised in the City By The Gateway Arch. I don't know for sure, but
it's possible that in the early years of TV in St. Louis, KSD may have been able to televise some
Cards' home games, but once it became practical for local stations to to originate away games of
local professional teams, the Cards probably barred KSD (or anyone else) from carrying home
games and made whoever was the flagship station carry only away games (likely to avoid cutng
into the gate).
According to the February 28th, 1972 issue of Broadcasting, ten MLB teams carried only away
games. A few others (Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Minnesota, Kansas City) televised only a very
occasional home game. KSD, according to that article, KSD only televised 25 away games that
year.

The NHL Stanley Cup playoff game on CBS that day was in fact Game 1 of the Finals with Boston
hosting the New York Rangers.
Boston won it 6-5 on a late third-period goal.
CBS carried three games of that year's Finals: Games 1, 4 (which like Game 1 was on a Sunday
afternoon), and 6 (in prime time on a Thursday night where Boston won what would be their last
Stanley Cup championship until 2011).
Ironically, Boston could have wrapped-up the title in five games, but CBS opted not to carry
Game 5, although it could have been the last one (the Rangers won to force a sixth game)

Wow! Interesting stuff. Thanks
On Mike Douglas: Reed and Malloy with Moses ("There is no freedom without the law."). I
wonder if they talked about guns.
Dr. Joyce Brothers on Captain? Giving advice to kids? I suppose it's better than Dr. Laura on
Captain.
The CBS Morning News with Hughes Rudd during this period was terrific. A real, serious news
broadcast. Like Cronkite's Evening News but more opportunity for depth and quirky features.
Not like the morning show crap today.
For those not familiar with PTAR it's "prime time access rule." The FCC forced the networks to
cut prime time programming by half an hour (from three and a half to three hours) and the
networks gave 7:30 back to stations. The idea was stations would local programming but instead
it opened up a market for first-run syndication. PTAR is still with us in the form of
Jeopardy/Wheel of Fortune and the various tabloid news shows. The one interesting attempt
was Group W's Evening/PM Magazine, which had stations exchanging local features for a show
produced with local hosts in each market. Apparently, Magazine hadn't started yet in Philly at
this point.
Sandy Duncan and McLean Stevenson on The Tonight Show! How soon we forget. Stevenson was
a regular guest host and when he quit MASH he was touted as Johnny's heir apparent. Nobody
figured Johnny would stay another 20 years. At this point, he'd already had the job more than
twice as long as either Steve Allen or Jack Parr.

Marine Boy on WTAF was not accurate. That was only on Channel 17. I believe 29 had The Three

Re: Retro: Philadelphia Fri, May 4, 1973
The one interesting [PTAR] attempt was Group W's Evening/PM Magazine, which had stations
exchanging local features for a show produced with local hosts in each market. Apparently,
Magazine hadn't started yet in Philly at this point.
It didn't start on the Group W stations until 1977, which would go national to other stations the
following year.

That should have been "Mike Douglas" at 4 pm on KYW-3, not "Merv Griffin." Merv was on

At the time of that listing(July 1978), Mike's show was still out of KYW; it would move to
Hollywood that September, for better selection of guests.

I was in Atlantic City not long before these listings ( the day Bob Crane was murdered ) and I
could have sworn that WKBS started their broadcast day earlier than 10am though. I DO
rememebr watching Huck & Yogi though at 3:30.
Kinda surprised WRC's listings are featured here but NOT WJLA and WTOP/WDVM's. I didn't
think WRC's signal would have made it that far north. The lack of Hagerstown, MD's WHAG-TV in
these listings are a bit of a surprise too.

7/13/1978 - my eventual stepdad's 52nd birthday. By his 53rd, he'd started courting my mother
(and met me). They've been married since 1980.
Back close to the topic... WGAL is the only media outlet that I've seen, heard, or read that
referred to the Lanc/Hbg/York market as "the Susquehanna Valley" or sometimes, "Sus-Q
Valley".
Did that toponym originate at WGAL, one of the other stations in the market, or one of the
papers in the market?
Also...
Was WGAL owned by Pulitzer in mid-1978? When did Pulitzer buy it? And when was it sold to
Hearst Argyle? Does H-A still own it? wgal.com's front page doesn't say and I won't take my
chances with Wiki.

wgal.com does have a link for Hearst at the bottom of its front page -- it's right near the bottom,
above the logo for CNN.

Valley".
I can remember watching WLYH's "Action News 15" in early 1983 when the anchor was the
infamous Larry Mendte and I can remember him saying the words "the Susquehanna Valley".

Valley".
SouthernMedia news music site has a WLYH clip from when Leland Perry (sp?) was anchoring
there.
Bluenoser,
Thanks for this! I have loads of SE PA TVG's from this area and will have to post some schedules.
It was neat to see a schedule for WBFF, which wasn't added to the SE PA TVG until 1985.
Here's some comments I'd like to throw along on the stations (Harrisburg's) that I've pretty much
grew up with and followed my whole life..
CBS let its affiliates choose whether it wanted to show MG at 1pm or 4pm. I think WHP-21
changed MG's timeslot more times than I've ever seen! It was shuffled around between 1pm and
4pm quite a bit in '78 and '79 (before it was canceled).
WGAL's "Noonday on 8" *always* pre-empted the 12:30 NBC offering. What finally brought the
show to noon (where it remains to this day) was when "The Doctors" moved back 90 minutes to
the 12:30 slot....WGAL moved Noonday to be able to still show "The Doctors"
WTPA-27 had an odd setup during the 5:30-7pm window. Local news came on at 5:30, the
national news telecast aired at 6, and they aired syndicated fare at 6:30pm. They finally ended
this in September 1981 when ABC News was moved to the familiar 6:30 slot.
WITF aired the trio of "Sesame Street", "Mister Rogers", and "The Electric Company", in that
order, from 4 to 6 for most of the '70s. Occasionally, old TVG's would list MR at 4, SS at 4:30, and
TEC at 5:30. They also aired a second helping of SS at 9am (which was the same episode as the
one that would air later in the afternoon) in the summers during the '70s. The show still airs at
9am, but its second helping is at 7pm. WITF is the only station I know that does this.
Valley".

ix,
WGAL is definitely and relentlessly the only station in this market to refer to the area as "The
Susquehanna Valley." It mus be an edict by the top at the station to never ever call "The Mid-
State" or "Central PA" or "Southcentral PA" as the others do.
WHTM - The Midstate
WHP - either The Midstate or Central PA
WPMT - usually Southcentral PA
Timmyb, see mleachs post towards the bottom of page 1 re WLYH.
Azumanga, thanks for the confirmation. Now I can give H-A some advice. End the confusion!
Get new calls for Ch. 8! They are too similar and the station too geographically close to its fellow
NBC afifliate WBAL!

Yet both stations had their calls since signing on in 1948 (WBAL) and 1949 (WGAL).

Philadelphia sign ons of independent stations were quite unusual.
Yes, WKBS-TV did not sign on until 10 AM in the Summer of 1978. Channel 17 WPHL was the
same way. Actually the Philadelphia independent TV stations all signed on between 10 AM and
Noon until the fall of 1973.
In the fall of 1973 WTAF 29 began 7 AM sign on with a cartoon block. Channel 48 WKBS-TV
followed suit a week later. But after Christmas of 1973, both stations reverted to 10 to 11 AM
sign ons again. In the Fall of 1974, Channel 48 began sign ons at 7 AM weekdays again and
Channel 29 followed suit. That January, Channel 29 reverted to 9:30 sign ons and Channel 48
reverted to 10:30 AM sign ons.
In the Fall of 1975, Channel 29 again began 7 AM sign ons. Channel 48 did as well but with
cartoons from 7 to 8 AM. Channel 48 then ran the PTL Club from 8 to 10 AM weekdays followed
by rejected ABC shows and Del Valley talk show. Channel 29 dropped went back to 9:30 AM sign
ons in February of 1976 and Channel 48 kept sign ons at 8 AM due to the PTL Club.
The week before labor day of 1976, WTAF 29 began 7 AM sign on times again and Channel 48
WKBS followed suit once again signing on at 5 AM for PTL Club followed by the cartoons at 7 AM
and sitcoms at 9 AM and rejected ABC shows at 10 AM and Delaware Valley at 11 AM. PTL Club
was dropped that fall and was not on in the market until the Spring, bringing Channel 48 to 7 AM
sign on by late September of 1976.
After New YEars in 1977, Channel 29 ended 7 AM sign ons once again and began 9:30 AM sign
ons on weekdays, WKBS TV Channel 48 once again followed suit and began signing on at 10 AM
with ABC rejects, followed by Delaware Valley at 11 AM and rejected NBC shows from Noon to
12:30 and from 1 PM to 1:30. Sitoms ran in betweeen. That March, Channel 29 began 9 AM sign
Ons with the PTL CLub followed by public affairs from 11 to Noon and a cartoon at noon and
sitcoms until 2:30 PM. These late sign ons continued all the way until the last week of August of
1977.
The last week of August of 1977, Channel 48 began 6:30 AM sign ons once again. They ran
cartoons until 9 AM, NBC rejects until 10 AM, ABC rejects until 11 AM, sitcoms Noon to 2:30 PM.
Two weeks later Channel 29 began 7 AM sign ons with cartoons until 9 AM, PTL at 9 AM, and
Public affairs at 11 AM. Channel 29, from the fall of 1977 on signed on before 7 AM. They would
never pull back their sign ons later again.
Channel 48, however, once more dropped morning programming late in December 1977 and
began 10 AM weekday sign ons again with ABC rejects then Delaware Valley and then classic
sitcoms after 11:30 AM. They remained this way until the end of Summer of 1978. The Summer
of 1978 was their lamest lineup resting most of their stronger shows.
Finally in the fall of 1978, WKBS TV Channel 48 begins 6:30 AM sign ons and earlier. From then
on they would be on the air a full day. Saturday sign ons were still like at 9 AM but Sundays and
weekdays began their day before 7 AM. Channel 29 also remained with before 7 AM sign ons
from 1977 on.
Now Channel 17 continued 9:30 and 10 AM weekday sign on times consistantly until the Winter
of 1979 when they would finally add morning programs signing on at 7 AM or earlier. They did
not go back and forth the way Channels 29 and 48 did. Channel 17 did sign on at 7 AM on
Weekends from the early 70's on.

Now I can give H-A some advice. End the confusion! Get new calls for Ch. 8! They are too
similar and the station too geographically close to its fellow NBC afifliate WBAL!
Yet both stations had their calls since signing on in 1948 (WBAL) and 1949 (WGAL).
I believe you. But H-A didn't buy WGAL until a few years ago. Owning two similarly lettered....
ahhhh, never mind.

Very interesting to hear about those late start times for the Philly indies back then. OTOH..down
south in the Baltimore-Washington area their three indies ( WTTG, WDCA and WBFF ) pretty
much throughout the 70's all three had started their broadcast day quite early ( between 6 and
7am ). Maybe the reason for all of this is that Philly had THREE such stations ( WPHL. WTAF and
WKBS ) which means fewer shows to pick from while down south with Baltimore and DC being
seperate markets there was some overlap even though back then WTTG, WDCA and WBFF were
all available on cable and of course OTA in each other cities, actually there was a time when
WTTG I think actually targeted Baltimore viewers for a time, likewise with WBFF and DC and
Virginia. Actually I seem to remember watching an interview years ago with the late George
Lewis who was Captian Chesapeake on WBFF for many years when he made the claim that about
70% of the mail he had received from "crew members" were from VIRGINIA. Likewise with
"Captain 20" who has said in the past that he had recieved almost as much mail from Baltimore
viewers than he did with DC's.
On a similar note for some reason I seem to recall hearing that when Baltimore's WNUV channel
54 had dropped the suscription pay service "Super TV" in 1985, plans were to make WNUV a
regional Baltimore AND Washington "superstation" to compete more with WDCA & WTTG and
LESS than with WBFF. I think WNUV even tried to get on cable in DC and on the systems in
Virginia...of course that never did happen.

WTAF 29's many runs of Looney Toons and Merri Melodies
Actually prior to September of 1978, WTAF-TV 29 owned the broadcast rights to two out of three
Looney Toons and Merri Melodies packages. They owned the pre 1948 color cartoons including
the early Bugs Bunny (and the 1940-47 Porky Pig and Daffy Duck cartoons as well) ones all
syndicated by AAP/MGM. They also owned the post 1948 Looney Toons and Merri Melodeies
packages which included Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester & Tweety, Road Runner,
among others. Those were syndicated by Warner Brothers. The package they were missing were
the pre 1941 black and white but colorized Porky Pig and Daffy Duck cartoons. Those were also
syndicated by Warner Brothers. Wile those cartoons were made in black and white, color was
added to them in the late 1950's. Channel 6 WPVI owned those and ran them during Captain
Noah and The Magical Ark show.
In the Fall of 1978, Channel 17 WPHL would acquire the pre 1941 Looney Toons from Channel 6,
when Captain Noah was relegated to weekends in order to run the entire Good MOrning
America show. At that time, 17 WPHL also acquired the post 1948 Looney Toons and Merri
Melodies cartoons leaving Channel 29 with only the MGM syndicated pre 48 Bugs Bunny, Daffy
Duck, Porky Pig cartoons.
When Channel 17 left the kids business in 1980, Channel 48 WKBS TV acquired the post 48
Warner Brothers cartoons and the pre 41 colorized Warner Brothers cartoons. Channel 29
continued with the pre 48 color warner bros cartoons syndicated by AAP/MGM. When Channel
48 went dark, Channel 17 got the Warner Brothers cartoons back once again.

I thought it was the late-1960s that these toons were colorised, as almost all of them had the the
late-1960s "W7" shield at the start and end of each short.

It was likely the 60's when those Porky Pig cartoons had color added to them. You are likely right.
Just got the decade wrong
And they were colorized not by any electronic/digital process (the technology did not yet exist),
and not by Warner Brothers. They farmed the task out to a cheap-jack Korean animation studio
that blew up the original frames and hand-traced them onto new cels. In the process, sloppy
work and inattention insured that details would be lost, colors screwy (I distinctly recall one
cartoon where Daffy Duck is BROWN), background signs misspelled, and sometimes bloopers
like a character's arm or leg disappearing for a few frames.
Unfortunately, for most of us those were the only available copies being shown on TV for a long
time. I don't think any of the B&W originals aired on TV until the 90's, when Nick used to have
their Looney Tunes show.
I'm adamantly opposed to colorization of cartoons and films in general -- let me see the things as
they were made by the creators. Don't give me that line about how colorization expands the
potential audience because "today's kids won't watch anything in black and white." If they won't
watch out of ignorance, then screw 'em. It's their loss.
Back when Ted Turner was going ga-ga over colorization and applying it to film classics (which to
me is akin to putng a mustache on the Mona Lisa), Johnny Carson had a good line. "Did you
hear Ted Turner is buying the Ansel Adams photo collection? He's having it colorized..." :
Of course, it wasn't very long (probably a year or two after the Nick show began) when Nick
replaced the black and whites with the cruddy W7 versions.
Probably the rights expired, and then some bean counter at Nick figured it was a lot cheaper to
get the crappy colorized remakes rather than renew the rights to the originals. >

"and I could have sworn that WKBS started their broadcast day earlier than 10am though. I DO
rememebr watching Huck & Yogi though at 3:30."
You are sort of right. Channels 48 and 29 both would go back and fourth with sign on times.
From September to December of 1974, both Channel 48 and 29 began doing cartoon blocks
from 7 to 9 a.m. weekdays. Right after Christmas around New Years both stations reverted to
10:30 and 10 AM sign on times. Then Labor Day of 1975 Channel 48 and 29 again began a
weekday 7 AM sign on. WKBS TV had cartoons until 8 AM and the PTL Club 8-10 AM. Channel 29
had a cartoon block 7 to 9 AM as well. In January of 1976, WKBS TV kept its 8 AM sign on to run
PTL Club which went till 10 AM. Channel 29 went back to a (:30 sign on weekdays. In the Fall of
1976, Channel 48 and Channel 29 reinstated early sign ons. WKBS TV broke up PTL Club running
an hour at 6 AM, Cartoons at 7 AM and back to PTL Club at 9 AM. Channel 29 began cartoons
again at 7 AM till 9 AM. This happened the week before Labor Day. Then after New Years
Channel 48 reverted to 8 AM sign on moving PTL back to 8-10 and Channel 29 reverted to 9:30
sign on time weekdays.
In April of 1977, WKBS TV dropped PTL Club and began 10 AM sign ons weekdays. PTL moved to
Channel 29 9-11 AM weekdays and so WTAF signed on at 9 again and 48 at 10 AM. The week
before Labor Day 1977, Channel 48 again began signing on at 7 AM for cartoons. They kept this
sign on time once again until New years 1978. Channel 29 began 7 AM sign on the week after
labor day and stayed with that. WTAF from September 1977 on signed on before 7 AM. Anyhow
Channel 48 once more began 10 AM Weekday signons again New years of 1978 and stayed with
that until the Fall of 1978 when finally they began signing on before 7 AM and stayed with that.
Channel 17 also signed on between 9 and 10 AM weekdays until the spring of 1979. They were
the last station to begn early sign ons. I always wondered why these stations had late sign ons.
They had enough programs for the entiure day. That Summer lineup on Channel 48 was lowsy.
They rested most of their best shows and left a rather bad schedule. That was their worst
schedule I can recall. Oh that Star Trek at 12:30 was the cartoon and they ran the Lucy Show at 1

Would love a weekday of 1973 in Philadelphia for spring as well as Summer (I vaguely recall
summer schedule on 48 - first schedule I recall in fact) - maybe a Sunday as well - From north NJ
and we had Philadelphia stations on cable systems but local paper carried listings sproadically till
1975 when they included all of the major Philadelphia stations till the mid 80's.
Thanks

Thanks. Enjoy seeing these. Would be nice to see more weekday schedules. Seems that weekend
and holiday "retros" pop up a lot.
I'm surprised at how many country music shows appeared here. I wouldn't have thought Philly
was a big market for country music TV.
Sort of sad to see the great John Facenda relegated to weekend public service shows like Eye On
Kensington (at the time a poor, ethnic White factory neighborhood).
Surprised to see Gene London on as late as 1973. Thought he was long-gone by then.
KYW's Saturday Night movie was called "Saturday Night at the Groovies." Replaced two years
after this by SNL. But some interesting and quirky movies before then.
Interesting how great Saturday night was for TV then (especially CBS) and how the networks just
throw it away now. Now the networks say people (especially in the money demos) won't stay
home; back then TV kept people at home.
17, 29 and 48 were indies then, with some really low-budget but often clever local shows. 48 is
pay to pray religion. Indies are gone and so are the kind local shows they used to have. Now it's
all syndicated, all the time. Local TV just doesn't try very hard.

Gene London ended his show on WCAU TV in 1978. He would run like at 8 AM to 9 or 8:30 to
9:30 or 9 AM to 10 AM. The hour of CBS shows missed used to run in the 7 AM hour. WKBS TV
and WTAF TV had some back and forth sign on time situations beginning in the fall of 74. From
September to December of 74 both stations ha dcartoons 7-9 AM. Then in the Winter of 75, 48
reverted to 10 AM sign on and 29 reverted to 9:30 AM sign on. Then in the fall of 75 both
stations began 7 AM sign on weekdays again - 29 with a 7-9 AM cartoon block and 48 with an
hour cartoon block with PTL Club 8-10 AM. Winter of 76 once again WTAF 29 reverted to 9:30
AM sign ons and 48 though continued 8 AM sign on because of PTL Club. Then in the Fall of 75
Channel 48 began 5 AM sign on with PTL Club 5-7 AM and 29 signed on at 7 AM. Both stations
had cartoons 7-9 AM. Both stations reverted again in January of 77 with 48 back to 8 AM sign on
with PTL Club dropping the weekday morning cartoons once again and 29 WTAF on at 9:30 AM.
Then in April of 77, PTL Club went to 29 WTAF and they then began 9 AM sign ons. 48 WKBS
reverted to 10 AM sign ons once again.
Fall of 77, FINALLY 29 WTAF began 7 AM sign ons and cartoons 7-9 AM and STAYED WITH THEM
eventually signing on 6:30 and 6 AM and going 24/7 in the mid 80's. Channel 48 again followed
suit and began 7 AM sign ons again with cartoons 7-9 AM again. Channel 48 then reverted again
to 10 AM sign ons the week of Christmas 1977 and would finally begin 6:30 AM sign ons and
stick with them once and for all in the Fall of 78.
Channel 17 never went after these two stations and consistantly had no morning cartoon block
and signed on at 10 AM all the way until the Winter of 1979. Then finally they began a 7 AM sign
on and had a morning and afternoon kids' block. But cartoons were not to last long on Channel
17. They trimmed the afternoon cartoons in November of 79 to one hour and dumped them
altogether in January of 1980. They kept the morning cartoons throughout 1980. Then in 1981
they cut those down to one hour. By the end of 1981 Channel 17 left the kids' business
altogether taking a WOR-TV/KTLA Los Angeles/KHJ TV Los Angeles/KCPQ Tacoma approach and
focus on drama shows, movies, and a few sitcoms.
Then in 1983 when WKBS TV went dark, Channel 17 picked up ,ost of Channel 48's cartoons like
post 48/pre 41 Bugs Bunny/Porky Pig, Woody Woodpecker, Casper, Pink Panther, Inspector
Gadget, eventually Flintstones and half a dozen old sitcoms from Columbia and MCA and
Paramount Like Munsters, Beaver, Bewitched, Dennis The Menace, Brady Bunch, Mork & Mindy
but none of the hugest ones by Viacom like I Love LUcy or Beverly hillbillies or Honeymooners or
All In The Family (eventually moved to Columbia library) (plus 17 did not renew Andy Griffith or
My Three sons when those fell of 17's schedule in 1981). Those Viacom shows would land on
Grant's TV 57 2 years later. Channel 17 did get DIck Van Dyke and Gomer Pyle though. Also
weekends they stayed religious till Noon and Sundays after 8 PM. They diud not run any cartoons
on weekends till the late 80's when the religious groups stopped buying time. Anyhow Channel
17 was okay being they did fill a hole but not well but it was better than them buying none of
48's shows leaving Philly with one station running cartoons. At least they ran sitcoms in the early
affternoon rather than keep a movie there. I did not care for their local version of Dance Fever
weekdays at 4. Would have rather seen Flintstones and Brady Bunch in that hour and another
cartoon at 3:30. I liked the music but not when we have only 2 independents.
Actually I heard the original plan was for Hearst to buy Channel 48 but they were only willing to
pay 30 million and field wanted 50 million. Then Providence Journal wanted to buy Channel 48
for 40 million and under the deal they would combine assets and move shows like 3's Company
to Channel 17 and much of their movies and the 76ers. But shows like Dance Fever and Little
House would not have moved there. What about the religion? Well Providence Journal would
have sold Channel 17 to Cornerstone and 17 would have become a religious station. But Prov
Journal could not get financing to make it work so instead they just bought some of 48's
programming and equipment and 48 went dark. Field did sell 48's trnsmitter (which could
trnsmit Channel 47 as well) to Cornerstone TV and they used it to Put all religious station in
Altonna PA on the air with guess what calls??? WKBS TV - The FCC assigned them those calls
when Field turned them in.
ANyhow 57 did complete the rescue a couple years later - But it was not quite the same. Also 17
during the 1983 to 85 years was just not quite the thing.

Interesting to see how the networks programmed Saturday night, which today is a throw-away
for the networks. CBS had All in The Family, Carol Burnett, Bob Newhart and Mary Tyler Moore,
some of their best shows of the week, all on Saturday night. What a contrast to today, with NBC
simply putng repeats, sometimes from earlier that same week, on Saturdays.
Has the American public changed so much that in the 70s we stayed home on Saturday nights
and watched excellent first-runTV shows? But today we go out and have no interest in Saturday
night television (till SNL comes on at 11:30)?

Re: Retro: Central Florida Friday, April 27, 1973
Interesting to see the lack of local news on many stations. Only WFLA 8 does a dawn newscast,
Today in Florida, for 45 minutes before NBC Today begins. And WLCY 10 does a 15 minute
newscast and a half-hour local show at 7:45. That's it, other than five minute cut-ins during
Today. Meanwhile, ABC hasn't started GMA yet and CBS has its one-hour newscast, followed by
Capt. Kangaroo in the early 70s.
Meanwhile in Middays, WFTV 9 and WTVT 13 do news at Noon, WESH 2 does it at 12:30, while
WDBO 6 and WFLA 8 do it at 1pm.
Even at the dinner hour, most stations only do 30 minutes of news at 6PM. WESH 2 and WFTV 9
do an hour at 5:30, WINK 11 and WTVT 13 do an hour at 6pm.
WLCY 10 was one of the ABC affiliates who took the network newscast at 6pm. ABC for years did
its evening newscast at 6pm for those affliates who I guess wanted to counter-program against
the stronger CBS and NBC stations in their markets. WLCY did its local news at 5:30 and ran ABC
at 6pm, so it could get back to entertainment shows by 6:30. I guess ABC had done this since the
50s, with John Daly and Bill Shandel doing their 15 min. newscasts earlier than Cronkite or
Huntley-Brinkley, hoping the ABC affiliates would find a place for them in their dinnertime
schedules. In those days, many ABC affilates wouldn't even run the ABC national news.
I see that Independent WTOG 44 Tampa still has no 10pm news. Were they doing 10pm news
only weeknights or maybe they had no news at this point. And there's no independent station
for Orlando yet.
I also notice that only one station in Tampa, WFLA 8, one in Orlando, WFTV 9, and one in Fort
Myers, WBBH 20, were broadcasting all night. I'm not sure if they were 24/7 or just went with
late movies all night Friday and Saturday. I guess it would take another 10-15 years before most
stations were 24/7, thanks to CBS, NBC and ABC providing overnight news in response to CNN
Headline News giving their broadcast partners all-night news.

The Today in Florida that Channel 8 ran during the mid-1970s before NBC's Today was, I recall,
essentially a local, probably pre-recorded, talk show hosted at the time by George Michelle, who
also did fishing reports on that station's 1 pm news. Channel 8 did carry a live 6:55 am newscast
leading into Today, but even those couldn't hold a candle to Big 13's top-rated hour-long mix of
news, weather, farm, fishing and Ernie Lee songs.
A saying often associated with WTVT during its Big 13 heyday was that it could put on a test
pattern and still be the most-watched station in Tampa Bay.

There were a couple of periods when Ch. 10 did not run ABC News at 6;
in the mid-'60s, during Peter Jennings' first time as anchor, he was on at
7 in the Bay Area. And up to a few weeks before this listing, Smith and
Reasoner were on at 6:30, followed by local news at 7 (guess how that
worked against Ch. 13's block of local news and Cronkite). Actually, I
rather liked the idea of the network newscasts at three separate times:
Smith and Reasoner at 6, Chancellor at 6:30, Cronkite at 7, because we
all had our favorites: I liked Smith and Reasoner, my dad liked Chancellor,
and my grandfather (who lived with us for a while) liked Cronkite, so there
was no horsetrading over who would get to watch their favorite. (Had we
lived in Orlando it would have been a different story; all three newscasts
were on at 6:30 there).
Also, don't forget that the amount of local news being programmed by the
stations in this edition was actually pretty normal for 1973; re Ch. 44, you
almost had to be in a market like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, or Washington
to find an independent with a nightly local news (there wasn't one in Atlanta at
the time, I know that). The real explosion in local news began, if I'm not mistaken,
with Desert Storm, and in part it has been a matter of economics, since the costs
are easier to control than with a syndicated show.

re Ch. 44, you

Channel 44 did not have a nightly half-hour newscast until 1982. Prior to then, its only news was
often a brief newscast over a slide at sign-off. I believe they started a rudimentary newsreader-
based newscast in the mid-1970s, but often as part of its daily discussion programs (at least
during "Florida Daybreak" around 1979-1980).

...actually, local news on independents had been growing steadily in the decade before that,
largely thanks to the introduction of Tribune's Independent Network News in 1980 and the
commercial syndication of half-hour chunks of CNN2/Headline News starting a couple of years
later. I recall WLRE/26 Green Bay taking to the air for the first time in December 1980 with
former WFRV/5 newscaster Bill Cole anchoring local segments inserted into elongated
broadcasts of INN. By the end of the decade, Milwaukee indie WVTV/18 (co-owned by Gaylord
with WTVT/13) had expanded its news (which for years had been limited to a fifteen-minute
sign-off production called News Update, which was a UW-Milwaukee or Marquette University
communications major -- or Bowling Game host Lee Rothman, during vacation and break periods
at those universities -- reading headlines over a static visual slide) to a full-fledged operation by
1989, using anchors Duane Gay and Liz Talbot. I assume the '80s news operation at indie KMSP-
TV/9 Minneapolis was merely a holdover from its days as an ABC affiliate between 1961 and
1979...

This is a nice geographical area of TV stations. Were all of these able to be received by most
viewers in central Florida and was that via cable or over-the-air transmission? I never had the
chance to any DXing there, but have always felt it would be one of the prime spots to try with a
deep-fringe antenna and rotor prior to recent times when TV transmissions changed. The 1970's
may have been a good time, too, since there were probably more stations and stations may have
been using taller antennas and telecasting with more power. Maybe a TV viewing veteran from
that part of the Sunshine State can comment on this.

What was going on in Spokane that night? Every network affiliate pre-empted or delayed
programs. I doubt they were all reruns, since 'Dallas; was just winding down its season, leading
to the 'Who Shot J.R.?' cliffhanger.

Re: Retro: Seattle Tues, May 18, 1971
Was the Jack Williams who anchored the 11 P.M. news on KIRO-7 Seattle the same Jack Williams
who has been at WBZ-4 in Boston since 1975??

Re: Retro: Albany, NY (3/30/87)
Where is Sale Of The Century? Howcome neither NBC affiliate aired it? Did it air on another
station in that market?

I'm pretty sure 10 preempted "Ryan's Hope" at 12:30 PM.

In March of 1987, I believe ABC was offering "Ryan's Hope" at noon and "Loving" at 12:30. WTEN
did air "Loving" in the soap's later years; I don't know for certain whether 10 ever aired "RH", but
since my mother recalls watching it, I assume it did.
And no listings for the other stations in the market (WMHT, WXXA, and whatever channel 45 was
back then)? Or even the ABC affiliate in Utica?
IIRC the Gazette never listed WUTR. WKTV only got listed because of its monster signal which
had Grade B coverage of Schenectady and in the analog era could carry to the points where
CBFT/WCBS/WGBH would eat it up.
This would've been an interesting period for 45, being that this was right around the time when
it was bought by WMHT at a fire sale. I have a TVG from a few weeks earlier which doesn't list 45
and TVG's Albany edition never listed 45 when it was PBS, only re-adding it when WMHT sold it
in 1999.

Odd that a lot of programs are debuting in October here, as opposed to the traditional third or
fourth week of September. Equally odd is the fact that not one, but two stations in the Hartford
market (WHCT, WTXX) cleared "Fun House"...
11:30 Morton Downey Jr. (street beggars)
Some folks called him beggar
While others called him bum
Some just say he's a dirty old man in town
You'd better stop and think about it
Don't be too harsh, my friend
In another 60 years or so
You're gonna be just like him
Actual lyrics from a Morton Downey, Jr. song, "Old Man," from his 1990 album "Morton Downey,
Jr. Sings." What I wouldn't pay to have a clean MP3 copy of that album...

Given the state of affairs at WHCT at that time, not unusual at all. The program distributor
probably hadn't been paid, and chose to take their product to another station that would pay for
it & clear it. Which means 18 probably would have run something else in its place (most likely
paid programming).

There was a Writer's Strike in the summer of '88, so scripted shows premiered later than usual
that fall.

I recall around this time that stations telecasted the series' two-hour pilot, "The Cage", as a tie-in
with the debut of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" around this time -- could that be it?

And in light of that, maybe WHCT was slow in providing TVG with an updated version of that
week's listings -- hence why you see two "Full Houses".
Did that week's TVG include a disclaimer saying that WHCT's schedules were not firm as of
press? I recall similar disclaimers appearing for the Philly indies in 1983, when WKBS folded, and
for WGBS in Philly and WAYK in Orlando when those stations got into programming trouble.

Not at all. The traffic department posted the schedules & sent them to TVG weeks in advance.
However, many times there would be an update in your mailbox at the station the day before, or
even the day of, with one show crossed out & another in its place.

The animated version of the Ghostbusters movie franchise was known in syndication as The Real
Ghostbusters. The Slimer! and... part was added for season three of the ABC Saturday morning
edition.

Star Trek: TNG was entering its second season in the fall of '88.

I'm sure the programming on WTXX from 11:30 PM onward was dumped on them by WFSB...
And as long as we're pointing out that the "Dennis The Menace" program that appears on
several stations is the "animated" version, let's say the same for "COPS." ;D
in South Carolina in Greenville, Love Connection was on between Price is Right and Feud. If I was
program director of a station at the time, I wouldn't put LC between TPIR and Feud.
1. There were a lot better dayparts for it like late afternoon or something
2. LC has no place between two traditional game shows

On second look, this was also the day The Cosby Show premiered in syndication. I noticed it on
in Albany, Springfield, and Hartford-New Haven...but where was Boston?
It should be noted that WCVB-TV got the syndication rights for the program in Boston, but ran it
on weekends (three episodes on Saturday, two on Sunday) in order to leave their afternoon
lineup intact.

3:00 Movie "The Verdict" (who cleared GL in Albany, if anyone?)
This was the first day WRGB began the ill-fated experiment of airing movies from 3:00-5:00 and
beginning the next day they began airing Guiding Light on a one-day delay at 9:00 AM; the airing
of Little House was filler. The movies lasted only a year tops though Guiding Light would keep
airing at 9:00 AM until 1999 (when then-Regis & Kathie Lee moved over from WNYT and GL
moved to 10:00).

Are we sure some of those syndicated programs premiered on Oct 3? I know that "Cosby Show"
did......That was a very big deal, being arguably one of the biggest syndicated rerun premieres of
the decade and I remember it well. However, the syndicated "Family Feud" premiered in other
places (like WCAU in Philly) on September 19...
Oh, and thanks to Bluenoser for posting the first hours of TNT....That was one channel my cable
didn't pick up right away that I really wanted...Had to wait until a year later and switching
through the channels, on the electronic bulletin board, there was a screen of several channel
lineup changes: "TNT on dial position 7".

Ironically, WCAU-TV had both The Cosby Show and Family Feud (both daytime and syndicated)
on its air that fall.
As for the Oct. 3 date, I think that had a lot to do with the Summer Olympics, which took place in
the middle of September. It made better sense to hold off on fall premieres until after the
Olympics rather then have those shows preempted for two weeks. (Example: WNBC-TV here in
NYC bought the nightme Feud and it premiered on Oct. 3 as well.)

Was "Jeopardy!" not cleared in Bangor at this point in time?
A quick check of Google News Archive indicated Jeopardy! wasn't cleared there at the time, but
by September 1987 was airing on WLBZ at 7:30.
WHAT? NO CANADIAN TV LISTINGS?
IIRC, Bangor Daily News may have been the only Maine daily that carried Canadian listings (CHSJ-
CBC and CKLT-ATV/CTV Saint John in that case).

The ABC Monday night baseball game this week was most likely Yankees vs Orioles, with Al
Michaels and Bob Uecker; Yankees won 8-2. The other game was Royals-Rangers, with Keith
Jackson, Don Drysdale, and Howard Cosell(KC won 8-6).

Only other time I've seen a station schedule that show at that time in WTXX/20 in Hartford circa
1993 - during the "limbo" years.

...and CTV ran The Flintstones at Noon (at least in Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal) for years. The
series was originally produced as an animated sitcom, and these time slots reflect that.

6:30 Flintstones
In the case of CTV's "Flintstones", I thought it was because kids were home for lunch at the time
-- many stations in larger US cities programmed children's programming at 12 Noon (such as
"Bozo" on WGN-TV).
On a side note, TQS (now "V") carried the Quebecois "Flintstones" ("Les Pierrefeu") for many
years at 12 Noon. I believe most TVA stations did the same at one point.

I could almost swear I saw in an old Buffalo-area TV Guide from 1994, Channel 2 (NBC) was airing
Flintstones at noon. After reading this thread, it all seems to make sense...

And I seem to recall, that SRC aired Les Pierrafeu originally- they now run on Teletoon Retro's
French service. IIRC in the mid to late 70s, ATV, my regional CTV affiliate, used to run it as a lead-
in to the 5:30pm news...ATV also aired cartoons/kids' shows in the noon-1pm hour for many
years, airing local news at 1pm (no doubt to repatriate viewers from the newscasts on WLBZ and
later WDIV, WJBK, and WXYZ ;D).

I've always found it interesting that CFCF-TV and the Ottawa and Toronto CTV stations ran
Flintstones at Noon for many years. I think that when they started doing a midday newscast,
they delayed it to 12:30 so they could keep the noon airing of The Flintstones.
And why did TQS run Les Pierrefeu (you don't pluralize the family name in French, the plural
article takes care of that, so it's also Les Simpson) at noon too? Because CFCF owned TQS.
I also note the CBC stations run The Friendly Giant at 8:45am. I always thought it ran later, just
before Mr. Dressup. They were the two longest-running kids shows on CBC.
Another note... Channel 5 in Quebec City was a valiant effort to run an English-language station
in such a French market. The owners of TVA Channel 4 tried to have a locally programmed
English station in the market. It was mostly shows from CBMT but with local commercials, some
syndicated programs and some local news. But there just wasn't enough advertising. Today it's
simply a satellite of CBMT. I would imagine the CBC now owns it.

Or rather, "owned it" -- in 1997, CKMI-TV channel 5 was acquired by Global, in which they
relocated that channel to channel 20, while opening repeaters in Sherbrooke (channel 11) and
Montreal (channel 46). Channel 5 in Quebec City was then given to the CBC, which became a
repeater of CBMT. However, it closed down last August along with all other CBC and Radio-
Canada repeaters, due to budget cuts.

I stopped watching both shows by then I was 13. However, Friendly Giant did air before Dressup
when I was a child. I see that particular CBC stations also ran a French language kids show and
Davey & Goliath, something my CBC station (CBUT) never did, so that might explain the time
shift.

Retro: This Week in TV Guide, April 27, 1957 - Northern MN Edition
Groucho Marx is on the cover this week, and inside he's got some prime quotes. Daylight Saving
Time is on Sunday, and is about to throw everyone's television schedule into mass chaos. 12-
year-old Susan Heinkel hosts her own network show. Plus Ed Sullivan vs. Steve Allen, and more!
And now a look at this week's listing. It's for Tuesday, April 30, and it's a bit different from what
we've looked at before. There are more shared affiliations, less cohesive prime time schedules,
and features some different stations for us to look at.

Re: Retro: This Week in TV Guide, April 27, 1957 - Northern MN Edition
It looks like the Twin Cities were still on Standard Time.

By 1957, videotape had started being used by the networks for program delays, so as a result,

It looks like the Twin Cities were still on Standard Time.
By 1957, videotape had started being used by the networks for program delays, so as a result,
the network evening newscasts, live in the Winter, were likely on a one-hour delay in the Twin
Cities.
Yes, at that point Minnesota was on Standard Time, although there was a bill pending in the
legislature that would allow the Twin Cities and Duluth to go on Daylight Saving, while the rest of
the state remained on Standard. I don't know how that turned out; I've heard a story (probably
an urban legend) that Minneapolis and St. Paul were at one point on different times.
Of course, today the whole state observes Daylight Saving, like most states.

Not urban legend. For two weeks in 1965, Minneapolis and St. Paul had two different times.

Hmmm ... so, say, on WCCO, KSTP, and WTCN, booth v/o announcers would have said over slide
promos, "Watch (show) tonight at 8, fast time, 7, slow time"? That's the phrase that local TV
listings that straddled the Illinois/Indiana state line (e.g., Terre Haute, Springfield/Decatur
markets) used back in the day.
Come to think, do any Hoosiers out there remember what the stations in those markets did for
program promos during DST, from the Sixties up to about the Nineties? I don't think there are
any clips from WTWO and WTHI (Terre Haute VHFs) on YouTube that would prove for sure, but I
may be wrong.

Newspaper listings for the years that Indiana didn't go daylight time is also interesting. The
Toledo Blade is a great source for the years Indiana and Michigan did not observe daylight time
(1967-2005). Michigan did not go on Daylight time from 1969-72 and did not go on the extended
Daylight time in February 1975 (Michigan did go on regular Daylight time in April 1975).

This week: Shirley Temple, the Kentucky Derby, Boxing, Billy Graham and Liberace. What more
could you possibly ask for?
http://www.itsabouttv.com/2013/05/th...ay-3-1958.html
And now - the programs for Saturday, May 3. Although this was the Minneapolis-St. Paul edition
of TV Guide, it includes stations from Fargo, ND to Duluth, MN. I know we in the Twin Cities liked
to think that we had everything, but this is ridiculous!
A couple of miscellaneous notes: look at the Westerns! We know they were still big in the 50s,
but Westerns dominate Saturdays, especially in the morning and afternoon. Most of the movies
are Westerns, and the CBS combo of Gunsmoke (soon to be an hour) and Have Gun, Will Travel
will soon be joined by Wanted - Dead or Alive. A throwback to the days of the serials.
Baseball's also big, with NBC and CBS presenting their dueling games, as back then networks
signed deals with individual teams rather than MLB as a whole.
And we've got many stations with shared affiliations - mostly, perhaps, ABC trying to squeeze in a
program or two wherever they can.

If WDSM-6 had videotape equipment back then, or an in-house film processing machine that
could "turn around" a kinescope made from a network program in-time for a playback an hour
and a half after the show ends, the "Lawrence Welk" episode at 10:30 P.M. CDT may well have
been recorded from a live telecast earlier that night.

The subject shouldn't have been difficult for them to cover, since I've always remembered it as
one with a sign-language interpreter always on screen.
And this show certainly must have been popular in the nation's capital, since it aired on not one,
not two, but THREE stations (WTTG and WTOP)!
All of the show's listings did mention sign-language interpretation...IIRC from earlier comments
about this show on other posts, I think the program was offered to any station that wanted it,
but 3 in the same market (2 airing the same episode) must be a record for a market ;D

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay - October 13, 1975 - Sunday
"60 Minutes" did not move to 7 PM Sunday until December,
when it replaced "Three For The Road," which had numerous
clearance problems.
ABC did not have an early Sunday newscast in 1975, and
in any event Channel 10 did not have an early local newscast

on weekends. ABC's 'World News Sunday" didn't start until
1979. (To use the North Georgia (Atlanta) edition of TV Guide,
at the time of your listings, Channel 9 in Chattanooga carried
movies from 5 to 7, Channel 11 in Atlanta had local news at 6,
followed by "Hollywood Squares" at 6:30. Both would carry ABC's
"World News Sunday" until Channel 11 went to NBC.)
Again, I think you need to get a second opinion on these schedules,
and if I'm wrong I'll admit it.

Game Two of the World Series between the Reds and Red Sox on this day actually began at 1:00
P.M. and was telecast by NBC-TV from Boston. As such, I'm not sure if this is just an incorrect
listing in that newspaper or that WFLA showed it on a delay. I know there were some NFL games
that began at 1:00 P.M. that day including the Cincinnati Bengals game against the New England
Patriots in Cincinnati.

Actually about SUnday - did not take a close look at the 6 p.m. hour - took for granted the
network newscasts were included. I always thought networks had evening newscasts on
weekends all along. My mistake. About the two games - the paper had TBA/Football or Baseball
at both 1 and 4 p.m. so according to that teams could havebeen in either time slot. Looked back
at each league's website and they indicated who played each day but not the times. The times
were my guess. The paper actually had at 1 p.m.
1 p.m. TBA/World Series baseball/NFL Football - time of world series depends on which teams
are involved
4 p.m. TBA World Series baseball/NFL Football - time of world series depends on which teams
are involved

STILL Had 11 p.m. News - But You ARE right about 60 Minutes - In fact it seemed that CBS gave
did not have a Sunday 7 PM offering that time of year I guess. According to a Prime Time TV
Book CBS offered Three for the Road at 7. 60 Minutes was a year away I guess. Again took for
granted that 60 Minutes existed a long time. Just not that far back. It was on various nights over
the years and moved to 7 p.m. December of that year - so I am a couple months off

What's with the 11:00 late news on these Mountain Time Zone stations? Was this some network
thing or a local (DST, or lack of it) thing? I've wondered that ever since I saw this YouTube clip of
a KOA-TV news open from 1978 which mentions it as "the 11:00 report."
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdOO5AImtQA)
Also of note: this was about three months or so after WGN took over what had been KCTO,
channel 2. And, I thought the first season of I Dream of Jeannie was only broadcast in black-and-
white.

Adam Ant was that British singer from the early 1980's, of "Goody Two-Shoes" fame. Hanna-
Barbera had a cartoon character in the mid-1960's called Atom Ant.

Very interesting schedules! Were any of these "all networks" doing an "expanded" prime time on
weekdays?

I'll post a weekday schedule from that TV Guide later today or tomorrow. I lived in Denver briefly
in 1972, but since I was only 6 at the time I can't say I remember anything other than watching
reruns of "Green Acres" on channel 2 every afternoon.

I went back and checked - yes, "Jeannie" was B&W. That one was my fault. The "Adam Ant"
listing (along with the misspelling of "Casper") was the way they had it in the Guide.

I seem to recall this being an infomercial airing around the early 90's. I remember game show
host Jim Lange and model Jessica Hahn were involved.
Please post listings for Saturday 5/18/1991 and Sunday 5/19/1991
8:00 Movie "Flashdance"
The quintessential Pittsburgh movie.
Better that than The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh
...which also included an open for WPTT's newscast at the time.
NO!!!! WPTT NEVER HAD A 10 PM NEWSCAST in the years Sinclair originally owned the station
from 1978 to August 30, 1991...NEVER!!! BUT!!! THERE WERE plans to launch a 10 PM Newscast
on WPTT in the Summer of 1991. But WPTT and Sinclair were not to produce it. It was ti be
produced by a small company called News Corporation (NOT ASSOCIATED WITH FOX) and would
be anchored by people employed by WTAE TV. This out of house production was put on hold
when WPTT was being sold to Eddie Edwards dur to uncertainty as to what WPTT's shows would
be that Fall. There was talk about moving the newscast to WPGH which Sinclair was buying or
keeping it on WPTT. But they opted to postpone the newscast until it was known what WPTT
would be doing for programming.
They did flip to Home Shopping network programs August 31, 1991 the entire broadcast day
(there was talk originally of 12-18 hours a day but Eddie Edwards was not able to keep enough
spot load to make barter shows feasible right away. Three Months later WPTT sells the 3 pm to
Midnight time slot to WPGH to run shows they own but had no time to air. This expanded to 12
hours a day in 1993. In 1995, WPTT is fully programmed by WPGH. The newscast never was
reinstated and it was canceled in the end.

Re: Retro: Pittsburgh/Ohio & Mahoning Valleys Sat, May 18, 1991
Big Bloodbath was coming to WPGH and WPTT in about 3 and a half months. WPTT looked on
edge by now. Massive layoffs at both WPGH and WPTT that fall and a Shop at Home format at
WPTT till WPGH bought time with the very shows WPTT ran before - anyhow staffs at both
stations shrunk. The PTT people were laid off that station and only 15 people stayed. A few of
the PTT people went to WPGH, mostly sales people. Still quite a few WPGH people were also laid
off at the same time. So WPGH was not an option for the PTT people, not even some of the PGH
people. Sad year at both stations except for WPGH owner Sinclair and Eddie Edwards. Hey both
stations claimed to be losing money for several eyars before so maybe these measures were
necessary. Niether station was profitable in the late 80's and in 1990 from what their
management teams at the time claimed.

Re: Retro: Pittsburgh/Ohio & Mahoning Valleys Sun, May 19, 1991
WNEU was a low power non entity and not a major player. Hey even WPGH was losing money
that year. Could never understand why Pittsburgh had such trouble supporting 5 commercial
stations when markets its size easily supported 6 and even 7 such stations at the same era.

Re: Retro: Chicago - Sunday, June 29, 1969
I took note of "Jim Thomas Outdoors" on WGN - Channel 9 - at 9:00 P.M. In the 1950's, he and
his program were featured on all three Cincinnati commerical TV stations - Channels 5, 9, and 12
- during those years. There were slight changes in the name of the show. For example, on
Channel 9, his sponsor was the Greater Cincinnati Rambler Dealers and the show was called,
"Your Outdoor Rambler". On Channel 5, the show was shown in color and called "Your Outdoor
Guide". His program usually aired on Friday evening or Friday night and in the final few minutes,
there would be reports from lakes on fishing for that weekend. These included Lake Cumberland
in southern Kentucky and Dale Hollow in Tennessee as well as Indian Lake in west central Ohio. I
always wondered what happened to Jim Thomas. He is only one of several people to have had
shows on three Cincinnati TV stations.

I have to admit I knew nothing of Jim Thomas before posting these listings, but it sounds like he
did it all. In addition to the aforementioned Jim Thomas Outdoors and his earlier Cincinnati
shows, he hosted another syndicated series (Lone Star Sportsman), he was an editor for WGN-TV
for many years, and he founded a recreation area in Northwest Ontario. It appears that after
Chicago, he moved to Dallas where he died of cancer in 1999 at the age of 76.

Please post listings for Sunday 5/10/1987 and Saturday 5/16/1987
Wow, I was in Point Pleasant this pat weekend. Baby brother lives there.
Interesting that there are no independent or PBS station(s) listed by the newspaper.
Or the Columbus NBC station, WCMH-TV. Is this what was printed in the paper or are you (the
original poster) being selective in the stations you're choosing to list?
I agree about being selective on both counts -- in the paper's weekly TV listings in the May 15,
1987 edition, the channels listed were as follows:
Cable 3 -- CBN
Channel 3 (Cable 2) -- WSAZ (NBC)
Cable 4 -- ESPN
Cable 5 -- WTBS Atlanta
Channel 6 -- WTVN (ABC)
Channel 8 - WCHS (ABC)
Channel 33 (Cable 9) -- WPBY (PBS)
Channel 10 -- WBNS (CBS)
Channel 20 (Cable 11) -- WOUB (PBS)
Cable 13 -- CNN
Channel 13 (Cable 12) - WOWK (CBS)
Cable 14 -- WGN Chicago
Channel 15 - WTAP (NBC)
Channel 23 (at the time) (Cable 7) - WVAH (independent)
WCMH was not listed, as it was not carried on the local cable system. But they did carry two
PBSs, two superstations and the local indy (WVAH), which were not listed in the original post.
Based on that lineup, having three NBC stations in the listings would be a bit much **, so I can
understand no WCMH. But it would have been nice if the two PBSers and WVAH were given
some shine in the post.
** I spent the summer of '87 with relatives in Tazewell, VA (in the Bluefield area) and the cable
system there received three NBC affiliates -- WVVA Bluefield, WCYB-TV Bristol, and WSLS-TV
Roanoke. Over the air we received WVVA and WSLS but not WCYB. I would assume the local
paper in Tazewell (which I don't remember reading) may have listed WVVA and one of the other
two, maybe all three.

A late morning movie on WRIC in 1996? How quaint.

In Fredericksburg, Virginia, about midway between Washington and Richmond.
Retro: This Week in TV Guide, May 13, 1961 - MSP Edition

The new FCC Chairman, Newton Minnow, has an open letter to the public on how they can help
the FCC make TV better - written before, but published just days after his famous "Vast
Wasteland" speech. Also, Lorne Greene is the patriarch of Bonanza both on and off the screen,
the Emmys show us how TV has changed, bowling's back, and legal scholars debate whether or
not courtroom proceedings should be televised.

Nope, though some of WANE's ads gave times as for example "7pm/8pm Ohio"...

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay Area Commercial Stations - Sunday October 3, 1976
October 3, 1976 Sunday - Sarasota Herald Tribune
Tampa Bay played at Baltimore (the Bucs were in the AFC their first year).
Pretty sure they lost.. ;D

You are right - did not look closely - I do not know which teams were AFC or which were NFC,
know some but not all - Were these two teams in different leagues back then? I know the Giants
are NFC and the Jets are AFC and the Cowboys are NFC.

When Tampa Bay and Seattle joined the league in 1976, Tampa Bay was in the AFC and Seattle in
the NFC. They played the 13 other teams in their conference once, and one game against each
other (14 game schedule at the time). For 1977, they swapped into their permanent conferences
(although Seattle went back to the NFC in 2002).

It's one league, split into two conferences. The AFC is the
former American Football League (from 1960 to the merger
of the two leagues in 1970); the Jets, New England, Buffalo,
Miami, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Denver, Houston (now the Tennessee
Titans), San Diego, and Oakland were in the AFL at the time of the
merger; Baltimore (now the Indianapolis Colts), Cleveland, and Pittsburgh
were moved to the AFC to give each conference 13 teams; the NFC
in 1970 consisted of the Giants, Philadelphia, Washington, Atlanta,
New Orleans, Dallas, Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, Minnesota, St. Louis
(now the Arizona Cardinals), Los Angeles (now the St. Louis Rams), and
San Francisco.
And it is a bit ironic that the Buccaneers started in the AFC, with the
Seahawks in the NFC, yet both are now in the NFC.
On a different point: I remember at one time Channel 10 carried "Best Of
Groucho" at 10 AM on Sundays; I can't recall if it was in 1975 or 1976,
but I know I saw it before my parents moved to Dallas in October 1976.

Not really, WXLT was there because the Tampa ABC affiliate was located further north as not to
interfere with channel 10 in Miami. WEVU was on in Fort Meyers by 1974.

Thanks about Falwell - I never knew that - just never looked closely - Thanks after all thes years.
Yes Channel 10 Tampa had to be 30 miles or so north of the rest of the VHF stations due to
Channel 10 Miami. I would still think that a UHF station like 44 would reach equally as far south
as Channel 10. I would think that 10 a s a VHF would reach Sarasota easier than 44 or 22 or 28 or
38 back in the 70's 80's, and 90's. Yes when Channel 10 became CBS and 28 became ABC, 40
almost lost ABC affiliation, but being 28 was a UHF station I guess ABC decided to go ahead and
just let 40 keep ABC. Personally I think 40 should ahve switched to CBS at that point and I would
have thought CBS would have wanted coverage there - but maybe Channel 11 Ft Meyers covered
Sarasota better than 10 in Tampa?
Anyhow today with digital my guess is Channel 10 on its new channel number reaches there
now. Besides 90 % of people get signals with cable, satellite, or phone line. Very few get over the
air signals anymore. In fact people under 30 do not even know these stations can be recieved
free if they live about 40 miles from the cities or closer. Most think without cable or satellite you
cannot get local channels today. This is true if you live more than 40 miles from the city that
serves your area with locals I guess. I live 60 miles from NYC and a few people do get NYC signals
over the air today but very few and its a tough thing to do (very strong outdoor antenna, just the
right TV and converted, hooked just right) while I know someone that lives in between dallas and
Ft Worth that just plugs his TV's in and gets all 15 stations in Dallas plus 3 dozen subchannels.
That city has a good selection of over the air programs.

But early on, WXLT's transmitter was in Venice, close enough to be decently tuned in in Fort
Myers. But by the time WEVU signed on in 1974, WXLT relocated its transmitter to Parrish,
northeast of Bradenton in Manatee County. In consequence, many Tampa Bay viewers got their
ABC from BOTH WLCY/WTSP (later WFTS) and WXLT/WWSB.

Then there's the other Channel 40 in Atlantic City, WMGM, which despite being part of the
Philadelphia DMA, still retains its NBC affiliation, much to KYW's chagrin (and previously
WCAU)...
Thanks about Falwell - I never knew that - just never looked closely - Thanks after all thes years.
Forgiven. Jerry's been in the news a bit due to health problems and what not...
D, I hope your post was intended as humor. WCAU replaced KYW
as the NBC o&o in Philadelphia when Westinghouse, owners of KYW,
bought CBS. Also, Jerry Falwell's been dead for a few years now.

And, one main issue I'm having with these schedules you have been posting is this: the location
of the source should be listed.
As far as this one specifically, there are no independent, PBS, or UHF stations. That is pretty
unbelievable considering that WTTG and WDCA-TV from Washington were on cable in many
areas of Virginia. WRLH-TV from Richmond (and maybe a couple of other Baltimore stations),
and the PBS outlets should be here as well. I'm wondering if the original poster is being selective
in posting individual stations.

Maybe all the poster is able to receive is VHF listings?
FWIW, the Free-Lance Star newspaper is based in Fredericksburg, VA.

Here is another listing with some daytime debuts. "Morning Star" and "Paradise Bay" were
created by Ted and Betty Corday. Their most famous show, "Days Of Our Lives", would premiere
in November. (There are clips on YouTube, and many of the music cues will be familiar to "Days"
fans.)
By this time the Globe was denoting color programs. There still are a good number of
preemptions, and many of them would be run on WIHS 38 by the next spring.

Re: Retro: Boston - Monday, September 27, 1965

That was the day "Jeopardy!" moved from 11:30 AM to its
more familiar 12 N (we're talking the Art Fleming version here),
and with "Let's Play Post Office," which debuted the same day
and was on right after "Jeopardy!", gave Merv the 12-12:55 slot
on NBC.
None of NBC's new shows made it. "Fractured Phrases" was
replaced by "Eye Guess" in January 1966, it was a hit for Bill Cullen
that lasted until September 1969. The two soaps were gone by
July; "Morning Star" was replaced by "Chain Letter," a Hatos-Hall
show hosted by Jan Murray; "Paradise Bay" by "Showdown" (not to
be confused with ABC's "The Big Showdown" in the '70s), hosted by
a slightly-less-confrontational Joe Pyne (it, in turn, was replaced in
October by "Hollywood Squares"). "Post Office" was replaced by the
Dick Clark-produced "Swingin' Country" with Rusty Draper, Molly Bee
(a former regular on Tennessee Ernie Ford's daytime show), and Roy
Clark; ironically, its replacement was "Eye Guess."
I do seem to recall a certain resemblance between "Morning Star"
and the early "Days Of Our Lives." Bill Bell was head writer on "Days"
at the time, and in those days it resembled "The Young And The Restless."
All the crazy stuff with vampires and what not came much, much later,
but helped "Days" maintain the youngest demographics among the remaining
soaps. "Morning Star," IIRC, had some of the same production people and
was fairly traditional. Both it and "Paradise Bay" suffered from their morning
timeslots (an NBC executive once joked that, and I quote despite the sexism
in his remark, "Those Nielsen dames don't start feeling sorry for themselves
until noon."). "Love Of Life" still remains the only soap with any staying power
in a morning timeslot (unless you get "Y&R" before noon).

I should note the debut of "Never Too Young" on ABC that day,
even though only one of the three ABC affiliates (WMUR) carried
it (some affiliates were already claiming 4 PM for themselves; I
remember the show being pre-empted in Raleigh and Greensboro
in favor of "Superman" in Raleigh and Lloyd Thaxton in Greensboro).
The show was replaced in June 1966 by "Dark Shadows."
"The Nurses" also moved from CBS primetime to ABC daytime that day,
airing at 2 PM (ET); it replaced "The Young Marrieds" at 3:30 on March
28, 1966 and stayed there until March 31, 1967, when ABC overhauled its
daytime schedule, moved "Dark Shadows" to 3:30, and put "The Dating
Game" at 4.

"Never Too Young" would eventually be cleared on WIHS, along with most of the latter portion
of ABC daytime. It's a fun show, and clearly ABC was thinking outside the box with that one. I
have heard that a complete run was maintained somewhere (some episodes are on YouTube and
on the collectors market). It would be great if all the music rights (a number of recording artists
of the day performed on the show) could be obtained and it could be released on DVD.

I believe Steve Lawrence's short-lived CBS variety show was broadcast in color buy the time it left
the air.

The Steve Lawrence episode may have been in black & white because it was filmed at Sybil
Burton's nightclub in London. It probably wasn't cost effective to bring NTSC color cameras over
for one show.

Wouldn't any PAL-format color videotapes of the shows be convertible to NTSC by 1965, given
the creation of reliable time-base correctors, frame-accurate electronic editing (i.e. Ampex
EdiTec) and scan-rate converters in the early Sixties?
(Of course, referring to 2" Quadruplex tape, high or lowband NTSC, PAL and SECAM.)

PAL didn't come into widespread use until 1967, and videotape wasn't widely used until much
later (especially in Europe).

Interesting to note that Providence's WPRO Channel 12 had stopped clearing CBS' "The Secret
Storm".
If I remember correctly....in the years to come, it would eventually be Merv Griffin's talk show
that would sqeeze "Secret Storm" off WPRO's schedule....possibly till the end of the show's run
in 1974.

for one show.
True, but I thought the first few weeks of Lawrence's short-lived 1965 variety show were in black-
and-white, but I also thought that the show went color before it was cancelled.
Of course, the episode could have been shot on film, with color film in the cameras, filmed and
edited like a three-camera filmed sitcom.
By the way, Britain didn't get color TV until 1967, when BBC-2 began color broadcasts. BBC-1 and
commercial ITV didn't begin colorcasting until 1969. I'm tempted to say BBC-1 and ITV color
began after the first moon landing, meaning that the only British network to carry the launch
and splashdown in color (the moonwalk itself was transmitted back to Earth in B&W) would have
been BBC-2.
However, I think that Rediffusion-London (the weekday ITV franchisee in Metropolitan London
until 1968) got color cameras around 1966, but didn't have them yet at the time of the Lawrence
show. They were used mainly for shows also shown in America.
I would further suspect that BBC-1 and BBC-2 simulcast the Apollo 11 coverage, BBC-1 in black-
and-white; BBC-2 "in colour".
Retro: Boston - WIHS Ch. 38 debut week
Source Boston Sunday Globe, October 11, 1964 (Globe Archives)
Since I posted the 1st air day for WKBG channel 56, I thought I would find the first air date for
WIHS channel 38. There were several ads in the Globe that day for UHF converters for those who
did not own an all-channel TV set. WIHS was sold by the Archdiocese of Boston to Storer
Broadcasting in April 1966. The deal was final in late August and the calls were changed to WSBK
on October 16, almost 2 years to the date of sign-on.
The Globe listings started with an explanation of programming.
This week, WIHS-TV programming will be devoted to afternoon commercial entertainment for
home viewers. Telecasting will start at 3 p.m. daily and continue until 12 midnight.
Starting October 26, the station will add its full educational programming to each days
operation. Operating hours will then be from 9 a.m. until 12 midnight each day.
Most of the morning and early afternoon programming will be devoted to educational programs,
with a complete transition each day at 3 p.m. to full commercial programs.
Following are the programs for tomorrow, through Saturday. Because of the weeks delay in
opening the station, please disregard Ch. 38 listings in todays TV week and use the following:

I take it that they took a page out of WOR-TV's playbook and scheduled the same film each
weeknight.
Caray, of course, will go on to be the voice of the Chicago White Sox and, of course, the Chicago
Cubs.

Here's what was supposed to run that week. I could not find anything for the week of October 4
- perhaps they knew they wouldn't make air that week and notified the Globe in time. The
weekday listings are very similar except for the movie titles, and again they ran the same movie
all week at 10:15pm.

I just checked the Globe's Sunday TV week listings for the week of October 18. They ran the
schedule that was supposed to run for the first week then.
As for Kartoon Party I have no idea nor have I been able to turn up any descriptions.

I do notice that 38 had reruns of "Calvin and the Colonel," a forgotten prime time cartoon. I
wonder if it was shown in color on 38---it was not, when it ran first-run on ABC, because ABC
didn't use color at that time (1961-62). There *are* YouTube clips of this show in color.

I have found some info on WIHS and color programming. According to the Boston Globe, in an
article printed on November 14, 1965, channel 38 started colorcasting the next day, picking up
color programs from NBC that were being pre-empted by WBZ. Those shows were "Jeopardy"
and "Let's Play Post Office" weekdays and "The Jetsons", "Atom Ant" and "The First Look" on
Saturdays. They didn't do any studio color until after Storer took over.

For one year, after getng fired by the Cardinals, he was the voice of the Oakland Athletics.

It makes sense. Back in the day, what many stations like WIHS did to broadcast network color
programs is to simply "pass through" using a second color capable switcher bypassing the
normal monochrome chain. I'm sure NBC (and maybe WBZ) did provide some technical
assistance to WIHS (and maybe a basic color capable switch and TBC) to allow Channel 38 to
broadcast live network color. As a little kid, I remember watching Art Fleming's "Jeopardy!" every
day on Channel 38. I believe the show continued for years on Channel 38 after Storer bought the
station in '66.
Channel 38 (WSBK-TV) still carried the educational programming of the Boston Catholic
Archdiocese during weekday mornings until '69 or '70. It probably was part of the purchase and
sale agreement for the station. More than likely, proceeds of the sale of Channel 38 to Storer
provided the much needed capital for the Archdiocese to put their ITFS system (microwave) on
the air to feed their instructional programs to Catholic schools.
Even Channel 56 (WKBG-TV) did the same thing in '68 by scheduling a specific movie every
weeknight for 5 consecutive nights. The late Bill Marlowe was the host of the program complete
with him in a tux, sitng in front of a black background and smoking a cigarette. He would
mention little facts about tonight's movie. One movie I remember that Channel 56 aired for 5
consecutive nights was 1964's "Umbrellas of Cherbourg". I never understood why a station
would play the same movie for 5 consecutive nights.
WXTV-45 in Youngstown, Ohio, during their last months (Late 1961-March 1962) would play the
same movie up to three times a week within just a few hours..I have December 1960 and June
1961 TV Guide Schedules for Channel 45 that ran the SAME movies both times..One example
was "Spring Reunion" from 1957-It played:
Saturday, June 3, 1961 at 7PM

Sunday June 4 at 8PM
Monday June 5 at 10:35PM..
They played the same movie (Spring Reunion) Three times during the week of December 3,
1960..(Tues. Dec.6 at 9 and Wed. Dec. 7 at 7 and 10:30)..
These are just two schedules at random..They had probably fewer than 20-25 movies to run,
from the looks of it.

From a Quebecois television forum, someone posted a sample week of schedules for CBFT, the
Radio-Canada flagship in Montreal, for each year from 1973 to 1982. Each year featured a week
in September, except for 1978, which was the first week in October:

To us non-bilinguals, the only thing I could make out was Telejournal, shown usually in the early
evening and at 10:30 p.m. I presume that was the title of the R-C newscast?

Indeed. (And the name is still in use.) This is what the open of the newscast looked like in 1983:

Re: Retro: New York City Wed, May 15, 1963
Thanks for posting these. I was 14 in 1963 and I can remember just about every single program
on the air in New York. All through my childhood I remember buying TV Guide every week. 15
cents. Since they went to the full size national edition I haven't bothered.
I noticed Steve Allen on Channel 11. This is some six years after he left The Tonight Show. Bob
Wilson who did five minute newscasts on Channel 4 was one of the first radio news men I ever
heard working with Bill Cullen on "Pulse" on WRCA in the late fifties.
Great nostalgia.

Douglas Edwards did the Late News on WCBS-TV, while he was still doing "Douglas Edwards with
the News" on the network (after the suicide death of Don Hollenbeck). Also note Bob Trout on
the early news.
At this point in time, CBS News still produce the local news broadcasts for WCBS-TV and other
owned and operated stations. In a move depicted in the movie "Network," a year or so later,
corporate management moved the local stations and the radio network to separate divisions.
Each local station produced its own local news with no involvement from the CBS News division
(except for using stories taken off the network feed). This was the start of the decline and fall of
local news on CBS stations (and all others). ABC followed suit, although NBC News continued to
produce local news for its owned stations.
Calendar was great news magazine show, which never got much traction. CBS O&Os and smaller
market affiliates carried it but otherwise stations mostly stuck a re-run or a local cooking show in
the time slot. Harry Reasoner and actress Mary Fickett hosted. A year or so later, CBS put the
first iteration of the CBS Morning News (with Mike Wallace) in the time-slot, before later moving
it to go against The Today Show (then hosted by Who and Baba).

Faith 7/Mercury-Atlas 9 (Was: Re: Retro: New York City Wed, May 15, 1963)
Many of the listed programs on WCBS-2, WNBC-4, and WABC-7 on this date were pre-empted
for live coverage of the launch and flight of Faith 7, (official mission designation: Mercury-Atlas
9), flown by Gordon Cooper and the final flight in the pioneering series of Mercury space
missions.
If my memory serves me correct (I was a youngster then), the networks went on the air at 7 A.M.
EDT with the launch taking place at 9:04 A.M. EDT (only about four minutes behind schedule;
supposedly, the only reason the countdown was halted was because Cooper had fallen asleep in
his capsule!). I saw the launch on TV in school, and I believe the networks stayed on the air until
early afternoon, then had frequent progress reports and a few specials throughout the nearly
36-hour mission, along with two or three hours of live coverage the next day for the final orbit,
splashdown, and recovery.
In the May 14th New York Times (the launch was originally scheduled for that date; it was
postponed a day), there was an NBC ad noting that the "Today Show" would be expanded to
eight hours from 1 to 9 A.M. EDT.
While the ad suggested that much of the content of this marathon "Today Show" would be
related to the Faith 7 mission, I suspect the reason NBC did this was so that the network and it's
affiliates would on the air in case of trouble that would have had to end the mission early.
(BTW, there was serious trouble near the end of the mission: A power inverter failed, but it was
so close to the end of the flight that Cooper was allowed to complete his 22-orbit, 34-hour flight
as scheduled)

I'm not sure which mission it was, but NBC was doing combined Today Show and launch
coverage. They were working out of Studio 8-H (now home to SNL, but back then used for
elections and other major event coverage with a large set). The Today Show set was at one end
of the studio and the launch coverage, with Frank McGee anchoring, was at the other end. One
control room handled both. Who and Baba were hosting the Today Show and at one point Who
says something like "let's go to Frank for a news update", meaning Frank Blair. Instead, the
control room punched up a camera on the launch set and showed Frank McGee, profile to the
camera, picking his nose. After several seconds, apparently Frank McGee realized he was on and
gently lowered his hand and said, "I think he meant Frank Blair."

it to go against The Today Show (then hosted by Who and Baba).
In North Carolina "Calendar" aired on WFMY Greensboro, WBTV Charlotte, and WNCT
Greenville/New Bern/Washington, but Raleigh/Durham's WTVD, which had a primary CBS and
secondary NBC affiliation (and carried Cronkite, BTW), opted for NBC's game shows in the
morning (the exception: they carried "I Love Lucy" instead of "Play Your Hunch" at 10:30; WRAL,
the ABC affiliate, with no ABC feed at that time, picked up "Hunch"). It would also be about
another year before WTVD would start carrying "Search For Tomorrow" and "Guiding Light" in
the 12:30-1 slot; they had "Truth Or Consequences" at 12:30 against, first, "Camouflage," then
"Father Knows Best" on WRAL.
Yet TVD went straight down the line with CBS from 1:30 on: "As The World Turns," "Password,"
"Art Linkletter's House Party," "To Tell The Truth," CBS's 3:25 newscast, "The Millionaire," "Secret
Storm," and "Edge Of Night." (They also carried "Love Of Life" and CBS's 12:25 newscast.)
WRAL picked up a few NBC shows in the afternoons at the time: "The Doctors," Loretta Young,
and "You Don't Say!" ("Who Do You Trust?" finally got the 3:30 slot that fall; I remember
watching it after school and my mom's complete disdain for Woody Woodbury and his off-color
remarks, which went over my head.)
Retro: Boston - Monday, April 1, 1963
Because of the mention of "Ben Jerrod" in the Forgotten Network/Syndicated Shows of the Past
thread (http://radiodiscussions.com/smf/inde...pic=202073.400) I went and found the premiere
date listing. Three other better known and longer running shows also premiered that day -
"General Hospital", "The Doctors" and "You Don't Say!". Oddly enough, despite being located in
a fictional Rhode Island town, "Ben Jerrod" was not carried in Providence.

Re: Retro: Boston - Monday, April 1, 1963
While "Ben Jerrod" didn't have a long run, the other daytime network shows premiering that day
became long-running hits, and one of them, "General Hosptial", is still on the air, although it was
to have been cancelled last year.
What saved "GH" from oblivion, and allowed it to recently celebrate its fiftieth birthday, was the
fact that ratings for "The Revolution", one of two ABC daytime lifestyle-talk shows that had
replaced long-running soaps, had tanked. ABC was going to reduce their daytime schedule from
four hours every weekday to three (so the network's O&O's some affiliates would have been able
to pick-up Katie Couric's syndicated talk show), and "GH" was on the chopping block.
But with "The Revolution" having been axed, "GH" got a reprieve, although in most cities, it now
airs an hourly earlier than previously.

"The Doctors" did a new five-part story every week for about a year,
then switched to the standard soap format. I remember when the talk
show "The Doctors" was announced, a lot of people thought the soap
was coming back.
"Ben Jerrod" was replaced by a game show that, while not a hit at the
time, evolved into one of the classics of the genre. The show was "People
Will Talk," with host Dennis James. Fifteen members of the studio audience
secretly voted yes or no to a question such as "Is it OK to kiss in public?".
Then two contestants would pick from the fifteen and try to guess which way
that person voted, earning money for correct guesses. I guess Merrill Heatter
discovered that viewers didn't care what total strangers thought, but with celebrities,
it was a different story (plus, you could hire writers to give them jokes before they
revealed their answers). So the fifteen audience members became nine celebrities,
Carl Reiner became the new host, the title was changed to "Celebrity Game," and aired
in primetime on CBS in the spring and summer of 1964, then came back as a midseason
replacement in 1965. The revisions seemed to work better, so Heatter began mulling the
idea of another show with a large group of celebrities, and in his thinking, he got the
idea of placing them inside a giant tic-tac-toe board. As Paul Harvey might have said,
"You know the rest of the story," because the result was "Hollywood Squares."

CBS must have been "less than pleased" that Providence's WPRO Channel 12 would pre-empt
"The Edge of Night".....and shove it off onto New Bedford's WTEV Channel 6.
Didn't the networks have stricter rules back then about affiliates pre-empting shows?

Didn't the networks have stricter rules back then about affiliates pre-empting shows?
Given that today, network affiliates today almost never pre-empt network shows (usually if they
do, it's for breaking news, live coverage of a special local news or sports event, or some similar
circumstance), I would think that the rules today are "stricter" than they were then.
I suspect the turning point was in the mid-1990's, when there were numerous network affiliation
changes around the country in the wake of Fox's capturing half of the Sunday-afternoon NFL TV
package. I believe that around that time, the networks began clamping down on affiliate pre-
emptions.

"Edge" wasn't the only show from one of the other networks that WTEV took - they also got
prime time shows like "Ironside" and "The Monkees" and ran them late on Sunday afternoons. I
have TV Guides from the late 60s with WTEV ads for "Ironside".
WHDH also took "Edge" when they signed on as an ABC affiliate in November 1957. They cut out
the last half hour of "American Bandstand" for it.

Talk About Affiliate Pre-Emptions!(Was:Re: Retro: Boston, Monday, April 1, 1963)
As bad as the affiliation pre-emptions of network programs here in Boston (and nearby
Providence) were in 1963, there may have been at least one city where local network affiliates
were more pre-emption happy.
It was Kansas City in 1969 and 1970, where the three network stations at the time appeared to
"willy-nilly" pre-empt network shows left and right, allowing then-new independent KCIT-50
(which wouldn't last long) to pick-up a number of network shows.
David P. Johnson, who lived in Kansas City at the time, has set-up a tribute website for KCIT
(whose call letters meant "Kansas City Independent Television") which focuses on all the pre-
empted network shows in Kansas City at the time, many (but not all) got picked-up by KCIT.
You can see it at http://www.wtv-zone.com/dpjohnson/kcit50 .

Leading to an ironic question: did WTEV clear "Edge" when the soap moved to ABC in December
1975--less than 2 years before the station switched to CBS?

According to the Boston Globe, "Edge" was cleared on WTEV and WMUR but not WCVB when it
switched to ABC. WCVB ran reruns of "The Big Valley" at 3p.

According to the January 12th, 1976 Boston Globe, WTEV-6 did clear "Edge" when it moved to
ABC, and "in pattern" (weekdays from 4 to 4:30 P.M. EST/EDT).
By contrast, Boston's WCVB-5 carried "Edge" on a delayed basis (the following morning at 11
A.M.).
I just looked at the December 2 listing and saw the same thing. Forgot about the regular time
being 4p. At some point WCVB gave up the delayed airing - probably around 1980.
There is a note in the TV column about WCVB not being able to air "Edge" until the following
Monday due to a scheduling conflict. No mention is made of the 11a air time.

WCVB dropped The Edge of Night in 1976. It was picked up by independent station WLVI channel
56. WLVI carried the show until September 1, 1978. After that Edge was never shown again by a
Boston affiliate.

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay Commercial Stations - October 18, 1975 - Saturday
Again, I have some issues with these schedules:
"Wide World Of Sports" aired from 5 to 6:30; around
this time ABC replaced "The Reasoner Report" with a
straight newscast at 6:30, which Channel 10 probably
carried; I don't remember an early local newscast on
10 on Saturdays.
Since when did Channel 40 carry "Hee Haw" at 7 on
Saturdays? I remember only Channel 6 in Orlando
and Channel 26 in Fort Myers/Naples carrying "pickin'
and grinnin'" at that time, with Lawrence Welk on Channels
10 and 40 as well as Channel 9 in Orlando and Channel 11
in Fort Myers.
I also don't recall Channel 13 carrying CBS's Saturday newscast,
even though it may have by that time and it slipped my mind.
And something else had to be on Channel 8 from 7-8 Saturday
mornings; I can't imagine 90 minutes of "The Banana Splits."
And had 8 canceled "Florida Gardenland" by that time?

7 PM LAWRENCE WELK
8-11 SAME
11 PM MOVIE - same as 11:30
No Local News Saturdays - right about that - They DID have ABC News though - Am surprised no
local news on Saturdays on a station that has a reputation for lots of news.
13 WTVT was correct - did have Pulse 13 news at 6 & 11. Did double check this.
Channel 40
1:30 NCAA FOOTBALL
5 PM WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS
6:30 ABC NEWS
7 PM LAWRENCE WELK
8 PM THE SAME
11 PM ABC NEWS - Same after this
So NO they did not carry Hee Haw - Possibly cut and pasted a Saturday schedule and corrected
each hour to Sunday - so it was Channel 10 Sundays that had Hee Haw.
Okay Sorry - took a better look and will take a better look weekends - I took for granted that 6
PM News everyday has been around forever - But yes there was a time that many stations did
not do weekend news. Hard to imagine that this day in age.
Thanks for correcting this. Will use more dilligence when posting

"8:30 AM Sigmun & The Sea Monsters"
WAS CANCELED by October 1975 - Last aired mid September nationally on NBC. May have been
a typo
"11 AM BEYOND THE PLANET OF THE APES-Animated"
I always thought this was one of the Live Action Filmation shows - But I never watched it so I was
probably wrong - So I did not sat "Beyond The" and left that out - Oh well - I believe you that this
was likely animated.
Go was moved up to 7:30 AM that week - due to early sports shows I guess.
10 WLCY
Before 8 AM - Yes took a better look and shows changed before 8 over the year before
I swear they indeed did start college football by 1:30 - though you could well be right about the
local show there.
13 WTVT
7 AM - TARZAN - kind of early for a live action Tarzan synidcated show

Fat Albert and Dinosaurs - Yes I flipped those by mistake - still not far off
I thought for sure Gaylord ran movies Saturday on all their stations but they were also big on the
type of shows you mentioned - The gaylord independents tended to run this stuff earlier
Saturday - Wonder where I saw that movie - maybe another station - the paper on line has
rather small print and I have read channel numbers wrong here and there.
44 WTOG
So I spelled Gerald D wrong
Creature Feature - There ARE 2 movies - that LOOKS LIKE a double feature to me....
Yes sometimes I see some of these listings and they look a bit off. Some practices back then are
unheard of today. Its wierd seeing a movie squeezed into 90 minutes for example - or sports
followed by religion back to sports. Some stations did not use block programming concepts as
much back then - Now today these cable networks run 6 episodes of one show back to back. But
less Some of these accurate listings just look too wierd today. No evening news on weekends ons
ome stations I cannot get over.

That World Series game - Game Six - which was scheduled for October 18th was postponed by

And it would be the Carlton Fisk game (i.e., 12th inning game-winning home run for the BoSox).

Some additional information in this response from the 10/17/1975 Ocala Star Banner, whose TV
magazine was published on Fridays (they had no Saturday edition back then). The OSB had
listings for the Tampa Bay area channels, except WUSF and WXLT.

"8:30 AM Sigmun & The Sea Monsters"
WAS CANCELED by October 1975 - Last aired mid September nationally on NBC. May have been
a typo
Go was moved up to 7:30 AM that week - due to early sports shows I guess.
According to Wikipedia, October 18, 1975 (this day, in fact), was the last day Sigmund was on
NBC.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmund...e_Sea_Monsters
The following Saturday, 10/25/1975, also had Sigmund scheduled at 8:30AM. And as for "Go" --
as the schedule indicates, WFLA always had it at 7:30AM, delayed from 12:30PM.
You can see the 10/25 schedule here:
http://news.google.com/newspapers/p/...rontpage&hl=en
It was a Depatie-Freleng production.
10 WLCY
Before 8 AM - Yes took a better look and shows changed before 8 over the year before
The OSB had the similar schedule as the Times, though they had Kathryn Kuhlman at 7:30AM.
13 WTVT
7 AM - TARZAN - kind of early for a live action Tarzan synidcated show
According to the OSB, "Tarzan Theater" was a collection of theatrical Tarzan films. On this day:
"Tarzan and the Mermaids" (1948), with Johnny Weismuller as Tarzan.

I thought for sure Gaylord ran movies Saturday on all their stations but they were also big on the
type of shows you mentioned - The gaylord independents tended to run this stuff earlier
Saturday -
According to the OSB, WTVT signed off after its 11:30PM "The Best of Hollywood" film that
night, "Angel in My Pocket".
44 WTOG
Creature Feature - There ARE 2 movies - that LOOKS LIKE a double feature to me....
But to my knowledge, it's ALWAYS been "Creature Feature". The only "Creature Double Feature"
that I knew of was WLVI in Boston.

It was a Depatie-Freleng production.
One thing I forgot to mention -- there was a prime-time live-action series based on the film
franchise that was produced by 20th Century Fox that was seen on CBS in the fall of 1974. It
flopped miserably:

By the way, I've just found the actual Herald-Tribune listings for this day, and they don't even
resemble the original listings that the poster first posted -- they relatively matched up the
corrected versions I've submitted later on:

Re: Retro - Tampa Bay Commercial Stations - Saturday October 3, 1976
"Fury" was an extremely popular kids' adventure show that aired
in first-run on NBC Saturday mornings from 1955-60, then continued
on NBC in reruns until 1966. Peter Graves played bachelor rancher
Jim Newton, Bobby Diamond was his adopted son Joey, and their
black stallion horse Fury. This show was a favorite of Pat Robertson's
in the '70s since it always had a moral (he also liked to carry that other
Saturday-morning horse lovers' favorite, "My Friend Flicka").

I never actually saw the TV show Fury - Did see it in some old TV Listings over the years in
various markets - mostly the 60's. I do have old listings from VA Beach from 1967 to 2000 (about
one group of them per year) - That was one of the first secular shows aired on WYAH from about
1968 to 1972. Back in 1970 WYAH had only an hour to two hours of secular shows a day and
about 4 hours of Christian shows a day and was all Christian on Sundays. They used to sign on at
like 5 PM even in 1971.
Then from Spring of 1972 to Spring of 1974 they would add a couple hours to the broadcast day
- By 3 PM in January 1982 - on the air by 1 PM by the Summer of 72 - on the air by Noon in the
fall of 1972 - on the air by 10 AM in the Spring of 1973 - began 7 AM sign ons that fall and
slightly earlier by 1974. As they expanded their broadcast day they added secular shows to do
that. So by the fall of 1973 they were on the air from 7 AM to 2 AM and were secular about 15
hours a day and by 1974 a conventional independent. By the time WYAH was a traditional indy,
Fury was long gone by 1974. So I never saw the show. WYAH did add secular shows Sundays in
October of 1980 from 10:30 AM to 3 PM and by 1981 10:30 AM to 5 PM and by 1982 10:30 AM
to 7 PM. Maybe CBN Cable ran Fury??? I do not recall it though but they may well have.

The corrected listings for October 9, 1976 -- as per the St. Petersburg Times, Lakeland Ledger and
Ocala Star Banner. I did not include any changes for the Fort Myers stations, as Google News

listings through the 1980s).

And to think that the only live college football telecast anywhere that day was ABC's broadcast of
Oklahoma against Texas.
Eight years later, the Supreme Court tossed out the NCAA's TV policies on college football, and
today on a Saturday during the season, a fan almost anywhere in the country usually has a
choice of at least a couple of games with local or regional teams, and perhaps as many as twenty
games nationally shown on broadcast or cable networks.

Is it possible that ABC had the World Series that year and moved MNF to Sunday due to the
baseball schedule? I remember this happening during the baseball postseason in the late 70s.
Update - after looking at the Boston Globe listings for 10/24/77 there is a MNF game -
Minnesota Vikings vs. Los Angeles Rams. Maybe it was making up for the week before.

Or maybe ABC's contract with the NFL that year included
some Sunday games; I think there were times when it
included Thursday games. Re the World Series, Monday
was and is almost always a travel day (the exception is
if there's a rainout over the weekend), so I would have to
believe there was Monday Night Football that week.

They had occasional Sunday night and Thursday night games.

By the way, since the Buccaneers were at home (blacked out vs. Green Bay), WFLA could have
only shown one NFL game.

ABC carried one Saturday night game each year from 1974-77. For 1978, they used their Monday
Night Football crew to broadcast three Sunday night games and a Thursday night game. From
1979-86 ABC televised three or so Thursday night games each year, with the occasional Sunday
night or Friday night game thrown into the mix.
As for the above listing, I have no idea why that would be there. On October 23, 1977, Pittsburgh
played an afternoon game at home against the Houston Oilers. The L.A. Rams hosted Minnesota
on Monday Night Football the following evening.
Upon further review, it appears that the Sunday night listings for November 12, 1978 were
inexplicably inserted into your Channel 10 schedule. ABC aired Battlestar Galactica (which didn't
even debut until September 1978) at 8:00 on the evening of 11/12/78, followed at 9:00 by that
very Steelers-Rams game.

Yes that probably was what happened - I got the years mixed up at postings. I am away now but
when I get back I will review this schedule and correct what is wrong. I have retro schedules for
every year in a market on one document so I cut and paste and sometimes I cut the wrong year
for a station - Its rare but it does happen.

The NFL's then-new (second year) Tampa Bay Buccaneers were in action that day, losing at home
to Green Bay 13-0.
It was their 20th straight loss in as many games (it would not win a game until the next-to-last
week of the that season, finally getng a win against New Orelans; they would finish 2-12 that
year).
No wonder their game that day was probably blacked out in Tampa Bay
Fortunately for Tampa Bay fans, things looked up from there. They went 5-7 in 1978, and in 1979
had both their first winning season (10-6) and playoff berth (making it all the way to the NFC
Championship before losing to the then-Los Angeles Rams).

Retro: Milwaukee (3/24/1980)

This is probably the second or third time I posted a retro schedule here, after all these years on
this board. This one takes place on Monday, March 24, 1980...I was nine days old at this time.
Two particular milestones, although not real major ones; first, the debut of WCGV Channel 24,
which became the first new station in the city to go on the air since PBS outlet WMVT debuted in
1963. Milwaukee's only other independent station at the time was 24's future sister station,
WVTV Channel 18. The second milestone on this date was ABC News' late report regarding the
Iran Hostage Crisis officially taking "Nightline" title.

...I'd moved briefly from Oshkosh to Milwaukee the previous week; I can confirm that WCGV/24

Funny that it's a pubcaster that's on the air around the clock and not the commercial station. I
thought WISN was the first commercial station to begin round-the-clock service at one point.

Re: Retro: Milwaukee (3/24/1980)
Thanks for the help, azumanga; I'm curious myself as to why WMVS was the area's only 24-hour
station at the time, I figured it probably would have been one of the other network stations.
Fast-forward a few years into the mid-80s, WITI was at least carrying CBS News Nightwatch into
the wee-hours of the morning, and WTMJ was carrying Headline News overnights when they
weren't carrying NBC programming.
As to Professor Kitzel, according to Wikipedia*, it was indeed the animated shorts from the early
'70s.

What about the very late morning sign-on for WVTV? For 1980, a major-market independent
owned by a prominent group (Gaylord) waking up near midday, and not even staying up that late
is odd...

As late as 1975, Boston's UHF independents (WSBK-38 and WLVI-56) didn't sign-on during the
week until around 10:30 or 11 A.M.
In fact, until ABC launched "A.M. America" in early 1975, Manchester New Hampshire's WMUR-
9 usually wouldn't sign-on until 10 or 10:30 A.M. on weekdays (unless ABC was broadcasting live
coverage of a special event like a space launch; then WMUR would sign-on just before the
network coverage began).
This was actually a common practice, since many UHF independents lost a lot of money in their
early years, and wo0uldn't have been able to attract many viewers early in the morning anyway.
So to narrow their loses, they decided on an abbreviated broadcast day.
But this was now 1980. The rough days of UHF were largely in the past, independents as a whole
were in much better shape (both on- and off-air) and, as I said, Gaylord was a major broadcaster
with independents in Fort Worth/Dallas (KTVT), Houston (KHTV), Tacoma/Seattle (KSTW) and
Cleveland (WUAB) in addition to Milwaukee...their prominence in that category was third among
group owners, behind Field and Metromedia. So I have a hard time believing that WVTV's late
morning sign-on was of some financial consequence.

It wasn't always that way for WVTV. During the early 1970s, the station did sign-on early in the
morning, usually around 6:30AM, but by around 1973 it cut back to around 12:30PM before
moving it up back to 11AM in 1974 and eventually moving back to signing on in the mornings
around 1981.
...in fact, wasn't it only circa 1979 that Field's WFLD/32 Chicago started signing on earlier than
Noon?...
WVTV started early morning sign-ons prenamently in he fall of 1980 with early moring cartoons
and the 9-11 time frame with NBC daytime shows passed on by WTMJ which was notorious for
bumping an hour or two of daytime programming for usually talk shows or sometimes off net
drama reruns. In Chicago WFLD 32 started its early morning sign-ons on Labor Day September 4,
1978 before then they signed on around 10:30 am or so.

Re: Retro: Tampa St Petersburgh - Commercial Stations - 10/29/1977 - Saturday
ABC had an early-Saturday-evening newscast at 6:30,
anchored by Ted Koppel; I remember watching it on
KSAT San Antonio. This may have been what 10 and 40
had at 6:30. Prior to 1973, Ch. 10 had a local newscast,
which it dropped when ABC started "The Reasoner Report,"
and carried the network newscast that replaced it around
1975. At some point I seem to recall Sylvia Chase and Tom
Jarriel as anchors of that newscast.

Here are the actual listings from the St. Petersburg Times, with fill-ins from the Ocala Star-

the wrong Saturday, as they don't match up with the Times and OSB listings; because of this, I
could not verify listings for the Fort Myers stations.

I wonder if Star Trek was considered "Canadian content" since both Kirk and Scotty were
Canadians and both were alumni of the CBC's version of Howdy Doody.
Then again, was Bonanza, starring "The Voice of Canada" (aka "The Voice of Doom") also
"Canadian content?"
Hmmm. Some differences with the listings I have for the day.
I have Replay instead of Badminton for CBHT/CBCT.
Reach For the Top instead of Sunspots on CBCT.

And Theatre Canada instead of SFX for CHSJ.
And the baseball on CBAFT was California @ Minnesota. Simulcast with NBC but with French
announcers.
Listings were posted as published...what sources have you got?
It's been awhile, but certainly the Halifax Chronicle-Herald and either the Telegraph Journal or
Moncton Times. Chronicle-Herald's listings for CBCT were sparse (usually wrapped into CBHT's);
your source's listings for CBCT probably are the correct ones.
CBCT was (and still is) essentially a semi-satellite for CBHT, but had more space for local
programming in those days...

Re: Retro: Portland (OR) Sat, May 22, 1965
I think that mention of "Hoppity Hooper" at 12:30 is a typo;

that was his normal airtime, but obviously--because of the
necessity of running baseball live, meaning in the morning on
the West Coast--his actual airtime on the left coast was
3:30 (PT). I've seen KABC do that after college football games
even in recent years.
I hope no one asks if there's a typo in "Shivaree" and that you
meant Gene Wood. Gene Weed was an LA DJ and the spelling
is correct; I think that in '65 Gene Wood was in New York writing
for "Captain Kangaroo." His fame would come in the '70s as announcer
on "Family Feud," after stints as announcer and then host of "Beat The
Clock" and host of the similar "Anything You Can Do."

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay, Saturday October 27, 1979
I noticed on 8 WFLA that there is a 60 min. program at noon called Saturday Noon. Do they do
public affairs for an hour on a Saturday afternoon? Plus more public affairs at 7pm with News
Conference. That's odd.
Two stations run Hee Haw. 44 WTOG at 6pm, 40 WXLT at 11:30pm. I guess WXLT being in
Sarasota is far enough away from Tampa that two UHF stations can both run Hee Haw?
I see 8 WFLA and 13 WTVT do news at 6 and 11pm. 10 WTSP only does news at 11pm. And 40
WXLT only does 15 minutes of news at 11:15. Wonder what that newscast looked like. Probably
it was someone sitng on the set reading wire copy with some slides behind them.

9AM: Fred and Barney Meet The Thing (One of television's least-successful matchups)
10:30AM: The New Shmoo
4PM: Sportsworld (NASCAR 500 from Charlotte...)
1. Would you say more successful than "Fred And Barney Meet The Shmoo," which NBC would
give us a few years later?
2. Redundant race name, compared to the modern-day sponsored races in NASCAR.

If I'm not mistaken WFLA has a noon newscast on Saturdays;
they've almost always used the 12-1 slot on Saturdays for local
programming, and when we lived in the Bay Area in the mid-'70s
that meant pre-empting the last hour of NBC's Saturday-morning
lineup.
It's not so strange that both Channels 10 and 40 carried "Hee Haw,"
since both carried Lawrence Welk. Remember that 10 did and does
not have the penetration of the Bay Area that 8 and 13 do, given its
transmitter location north of the others.
As for the news, I don't know if either 10 or 40 had a 6:30 PM local
newscast; it would have been pre-empted that day in favor of college
football and both stations would have gone straight to Welk after the game.
I also don't know if 10 was carrying ABC's 11 PM newscast at the time; when
we lived there they carried ABC at 11 and a local newscast at 11:15. I do know
that ABC would not start another early-Saturday newscast until 1985, even though
it had an early one on Sunday by the date of these schedules.

Re: Retro: Boston - Saturday, May 20, 1950
The closest thing I can find on the "Warren Hull Show" is that
in January and February 1950 he replaced Ben Grauer as host
of an NBC show that aired Tuesdays from 11-11:15 PM. But
Grauer had returned to the show sometime in February and was

hosting it in May. During Hull's time on the show it was called
"The Warren Hull Show." I'd suggest you try the New York Times
for May 20, 1950, and see if his show aired on WCBS; that would
practically guarantee it was a CBS show.

The CBS show airing Saturdays 6:30-6:45 at the time was
"Kuda Bux, Hindu Mystic," a man from Kashmir who worked
a lot like Kreskin in the '70s. Rex Marshall acted as a sort
of host on this show. The NBC show listed in my previous
posting is the only "Warren Hull Show" I can find for 1950
that lasted 15 minutes, and being an NBC show, I can't
imagine it airing on Channel 7.
Maybe you can try the Boston newspapers for the weeks
before and after May 20; that may give you some sort of
lead.

NBC had a show, dating back to 1946, called "You Are An Artist," and according
to Wikipedia it had three hosts: Jon Gnagy, Ben Grauer, and (finally) Warren Hull,
at which point it became "The Warren Hull Show" in the 1949-50 season. This
is the show airing Tuesday 11-11:15. See if Channel 4 carried it; if not, then
possibly Channel 7 picked it up anyway.

It was not the first Boston telecast of the race. The May 15th, 1949 Boston Globe listed WNAC as
carrying live coverage of that year's Preakness. The May 15th, 1948 issue of The New York Times
indicated that WCBS-2 televised the race. The '48 Preakness may be aired on CBS in other East
Coast cities, especially in Baltimore. Of course, commercial TV in Boston was still a few weeks off.
The first live network telecast of the Kentucky Derby wasn't until 1952, but that was because
Louisville wasn't connected to network lines until then. I'm pretty sure the Derby had been
locally televised there for a few years prior to that.
By looking at vintage TV listings from the Boston Globe, I can tell you that WNAC carried the
1949, 1950, and 1951 Derby's on film the day after they were held.

I was just going by the accompanying story in the Globe. Perhaps they meant the 1st time on the
whole network.

The '48 Preakness would almost certainly have been carried
on WMAR, which signed on in '47 and was Baltimore's CBS
affiliate until 1981. As for the Derby, WAVE carried it in '49
(it signed on Thanksgiving Day 1948), but the Derby came to
be associated with WHAS after its sign-on in 1950; part of the
reason WHAS switched from CBS to ABC in 1990 was because
ABC had beaten out CBS for the rights to televise the race; when
ABC first got the Derby in the mid-'70s the Derby management insisted
that the Alphabet Network feed the race to WHAS, since it was on
Channel 11 and the ABC affiliate at the time, WLKY, was on Channel 32.
(Both stations carried ABC's telecast until CapCities bought ABC and decreed
it would not feed shows to a station affiliated with another network.) So
WHAS, which had pre-race coverage all day, was denied the main event
until the decision to change networks. That became a moot point in 2000
when the Derby moved to NBC and WAVE/3.
But back to '48: Baltimore was one of seven East Coast cities tied to the
coaxial cable (the others: Boston, Schenectady, New York City, Philadelphia,
Washington, and Richmond), so CBS could have fed the race to those cities.
Possibly, for reasons now lost, the '48 and '49 Preaknesses were not carried
in Boston, but the technical ability was there. After all, the seven cities that
I mentioned carried Milton Berle's first show in June of '48. And even earlier,
in January, WMAR carried the first telecast of "Ted Mack's Amateur Hour" on
DuMont. Point of all this rambling is that CBS may have indeed carried the '48
Preakness but some sort of management decision kept it off the air in Boston
until '50.

1948 Triple Crown And Boston TV (Was: Re: Retro: Boston: Saturday, May 20, 1950)
The 1948 Kentucky Derby and Preakness took place before Boston's first two TV stations signed-
on.
WBZ-4 signed-on June 9th; WNAC-7 started regular broadcasting on the 21st.
The 1948 Belmont Stakes took place on June 12th, but CBS carried the race and WBZ at the time
was an NBC affiliate.
Although the Boston Globe of that date doesn't list WBZ as carrying the Belmont, I wonder if due
to huge public interest (Citation was going for the Triple Crown Championship, which he would
win by taking the Belmont Stakes), CBS might, too late for the morning papers to publicize the
fact, have allowed WBZ to have carried the race given the huge public interest and that doing so
would have been the only way for Boston viewers to have seen it.
Does anyone know if that ended up being the case??
(Otherwise, the only people in Boston who may have seen it might have been management and
staff of WNAC who might have been able to watch the network feed at WNAC's studios, then
located at 21 Brookline Avenue)

Re: Retro: Philadelphia Wed, May 23, 1962
Very interesting!
When did WHYY leave channel 35 (now WYBE) and take over channel 12. It seems at this point,
channel 12 had been dark for several years.
John Facenda. Vince Leonard. Wally Kinnan, the weatherman. Much classier than the current
bunch. Was Herb Clarke doing both early and late weather? Seem like he did the early weather
and Jack Whittaker did the late weather.
The Lee Dexter Show was commonly called "Bertie the Bunyip." Bertie was a puppet and the
show featured old two-reel comedies.
Had Wee Willie Webber stopped doing the morning show at channel six at this time?
Who Do You Trust (at this point minus Johnny Carson) actually ran at 3:30. Channel six taped it
and ran a local half hour of Bandstand instead.
No channels 17, 29, 48 and 57 yet.

Chances are, the remote telecast of "Queen For A Day" originated from the World's Far being
held in Seattle that year.

I had thought that Johnny Carson, although not being able to start on "The Tonight Show" until
October 1st of 1962, was under contact to the producers of "Who Do You Trust" until the end of
September. I believe Johnny remained as emcee of that show through September.
Had the producers of "Trust" released Johnny earlier, he likely could have started on "Tonight"
earlier.
BTW, in his memoir Rock, Roll, and Remember, Dick Clark wrote that when ABC stuck "Who Do
You Trust" in the middle of "American Bandstand", that WFIL-6 didn't take "Trust", instead doing
a local half-hour of "Bandstand" before the show rejoined the network. Although Clark didn't
write about it, there is a chance that as early as 1958 (when this happened), WFIL did with
"Trust" what they were doing in May of 1962: taping the show for a delayed broadcast.
Maybe someone in Philly can verify this, but perhaps there was always at least a half-hour of
"American Bandstand" that was broadcast only in Philadelphia during the entire six-year time
(1957-63) that it was broadcast every weekday on the network.

channel 12 had been dark for several years.
WVUE Wilmington had gone dark in 1958. Storer had to sell it or shut it down when it bought
WITI-TV Milwaukee; it did the latter. WITI put Storer over the 5-VHF limit. WHYY moved from 35
to 12 in 1963.

"Who Do You Trust?" did air on ABC at 3:30, and in Raleigh
we got it at 1:30 but for a different reason. When WRAL
switched from NBC to ABC that same year, it maintained a
few NBC shows (this was a two-station market) including
NBC's two soaps, "Young Dr. Malone" at 3 and "Our Five
Daughters" (which for the life of me I do not remember)
at 3:30. (WTVD was carrying "The Millionaire" at 3 and,

as of June 18, "To Tell The Truth" at 3:30.) So WRAL had
a problem: clear the two ABC shows, "Queen For A Day"
and "Who Do You Trust?" in pattern, meaning that one of
the NBC soaps would have to go against that juggernaut
known as "As The World Turns," or delay the two ABC shows.
They opted for the latter, as both ABC and NBC were down
from 1-2 in those days. Later, WRAL carried "You Don't Say!"
at 3:30 for awhile but CBS (and WTVD) put "Edge Of Night"
against it in the summer of '63; either because of that, or
because of pressure from ABC, WRAL finally moved "Who Do
You Trust?" (by now with Woody Woodbury as host) to 3:30
in the fall of '63, and finally carried "Queen For A Day" in pattern
when it replaced "Trust" on December 30, 1963.
As for Johnny's being on "Trust" for six months after signing his
contract with NBC, ABC (or perhaps more accurately, Don Fedderson)
meant to hold him to it; "Trust" and "Bandstand" were ABC's two most
popular daytime shows at the time. That didn't prevent Johnny from
getng in a dig at ABC practically every day in the spring and summer
of '62, mostly jokes about how the Alphabet Network was holding him
prisoner. (One of his more memorable cracks was, "Welcome to ABC,
the network with a heart.")
One another note about ABC daytime in those years; elsewhere there's
a mention of the passing of Judge Edgar Allan Jones Jr. of "Day In Court"
(Jones was a UCLA law professor who did this as a sideline and gained his
fifteen minutes of fame). Unless I'm missing something, the only ABC daytime
personalities from that era still left are Johnny Gilbert (announcer on "Camouflage"
and Bert Parks' "Yours For A Song"), Don Morrow (host of "Camouflage"), Woody
Woodbury (Carson's replacement on "Who Do You Trust?"), and Jim Lange (then
the announcer on Tennessee Ernie Ford's morning show). Lange turns 80 in July;
Gilbert is pushing 90; Morrow and Woodbury are well into their 80s.
WFIL 6-ABC
Chances are, the remote telecast of "Queen For A Day" originated from the World's Far being
held in Seattle that year.
And you are correct...the listing does mention the World's Fair...
If they did the show from San Francisco today, the title would have a whole other meaning. :
A correction. The news anchor at WFIL-TV was Gunnar Back, not Beck.
Back had replaced Taylor Grant on channel 6's newscasts. Both had previously worked for ABC
News. Station owner Walter Annenberg reportedly fired Grant for his liberal comments in the
news. Even so, he kept Grant on as the voice of TV Guide commercials (he also owned TV Guide)
for many years. Back in turn was replaced by Larry Kane when channel six introduced the Action
News format, based on the radio newscasts heard on top 40 WFIL radio, where Kane was one of
the radio newscasters.
A local alternative paper described Back as always "looking really pissed off that he had to read
you the news." You know, he did.
Wally Kinnan The Weatherman was at WRCV, as he had been since 1958. Dick Goddard was
already becoming the most popular Weatherman in Cleveland at KYW-TV when the Philly-
Cleveland swap happened in June 1965. Goddard at the time tried to contact Kinnan just as the
swap was about to take place to arrange a way for both to stay where they were, but Kinnan was
on vacation..

From what was reported at the time, under the deal between the two companies, NBC was
allowed to keep and move Wally Kinnan with them to Cleveland. Group W was allowed to keep
and move Mike Douglas.
Despite any ill will, KYW-TV remained an NBC affiliate for another 30 years until Westinghouse
bought CBS. Westinghouse had been a part-owner of RCA, and thus of NBC, until both
Westinghouse and GE were forced to divest their interests in RCA. Up to then, NBC had operated
(but not owned) the Westinghouse stations. Just prior to the swap, Westinghouse had cancelled
its radio stations' affiliations with the NBC Radio Network. When the swap was undone,
Westinghouse promptly ended its radio affiliation with NBC in Philly (and flipped to all news).
When GE, one of Westinghouse's original partners in RCA and NBC, regained ownership of NBC,
it pulled NBC out of radio completely.

Tampa needed a second independent station and this station filled a hole for religious shows
But this station should have done other stuff as well. Being only one of 5 stations I think they
should have taken the CBN approach with Secular shows 18 hours a day and religious 6 hours a
day or even the WHFT Miami approach with secular shows in early fringe 2 to 7 pm. Still it did fill
part of the void. Two years later TV 28 would fill the rest of the void.

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay - Commercial Stations - October 22-26, 1979 - Weekdays
That was the fall that ABC made some monumental scheduling goofs
that were partially responsible for CBS's reclaiming the number-one spot:
splitng "Happy Days" and "Laverne & Shirley"; splitng "Love Boat" and
"Fantasy Island"; moving "Mork & Mindy" to Sunday against "Archie Bunker's
Place" (which had that season's number-one program, "60 Minutes," as lead-in).
Although "Laverne & Shirley," "Fantasy Island," and "Mork & Mindy" were all moved
back to their original timeslots, the damage had been done. "Fantasy Island" regained
most of its audience, but the two sitcoms, which had fallen out of the top fifty at times,
had a harder time rebounding; "Mork & Mindy" went from a tie for third with "Happy Days"
in the 1978-79 season to 27th in 1979-80, while "Laverne & Shirley" fell from number one
to completely out of the top 30 (but would finish tied for 20th with "Monday Night Football"
in 1980-81, while "Mork & Mindy" dropped out of the top 30). ("Fantasy Island," BTW, went
from 22nd in 1978-79 to 28th in 1979-80 to a three-way tie for 17th with "Trapper John, M.D."
and
"Diff'rent Strokes" in 1980-81.)
Just for the record, the season came down to the final night, April 20, 1980; ABC reran "The
Sting"
against a new two-hour "Dukes Of Hazzard" on CBS; CBS won the night and the season, 19.6-
19.5.
That was the fall that ABC made some monumental scheduling goofs
that were partially responsible for CBS's reclaiming the number-one spot:
splitng "Happy Days" and "Laverne & Shirley"; splitng "Love Boat" and
"Fantasy Island"; moving "Mork & Mindy" to Sunday against "Archie Bunker's
Place" (which had that season's number-one program, "60 Minutes," as lead-in).
Speaking of goofs, "The $20,000 Pyramid" during this time was actually "Junior Partner
Pyramid", which was practically an all-civilian version of the show with no celebrities other than
Dick Clark. This lasted a few weeks before they resumed the more-familiar celebrity-civilian
matchups.
Yes I noticed the Noon show read that way. I figured it was just a temporary kids edition of
Pyramid. I did not bother naming it correctly because the name change and format modification
was short lived. Thanks for calling it to our intention though...
PM YOUNG & THE RESTLESS-Serial
You have this for both CBS stations, and there's no way it's right. Y&R wouldn't expand to 60
minutes until February; ATWT aired from 1:30-2:30 at this point, and GL from 2:30-3:30. It
wouldn't be until February 1980 that CBS aired its three 1-hour soaps at 1, 2, and 3....
Okay - I have the right shows but wrong lengths and yimes. Young and Restless was indeed 30
Minutes still and Guiding Lihght Expanded to an hour first and was an hour by then - SO YES I
was wrong with lengths and times
Both CBS stations should read
1 PM Young & The Restless
2:30 Guiding Light
3:30 One Day At A Time.
Basically got times and lengths mixed up - Mistakes happen

In-School Programming (9AM to 3PM):
As a rule, TV Guide never listed these shows, but the Times and Independent both provided
details. Here's what played that week:
Monday:
9AM: Magic Vocabulary (Like "The Electric Company" for the "Sesame Street" crowd -- produced
by the Broward County School Board)
9:15AM: Gather 'Round (Storytelling program)
9:30AM: Magic Study Skills (The basics of studying, also from Broward County)
9:45AM: "Language" (Don't know about that program)
10AM: Thinkabout (a program "for acquiring skills essential to learning")
10:15AM: All About You (Long-running program for younger children on health and the body;
WGBH Boston produced the 1974 version of the series on air at the time)
10:30AM: Inside-Out (Cult favorite that's like an ABC After School Special, but only 15 minutes
with no ending; many of these episodes (as well as of other series listed here) can be viewed on
YouTube)
10:45AM: The Word Shop (Another vocabulary-building program, hosted by John Robbins,
known more as host of "Cover To Cover" (below))
11AM: The Electric Company (Many stations included this show as part of their in-school TV line-
up)
11:30AM: Inside-Out
11:45AM: Gather 'Round
12 Noon: The Letter People (Another cult classic about the alphabet and phonics; for
Kindergarten and First Graders)
12:15PM: Magic Vocabulary
12:30PM: The Word Shop
12:45PM: Cover To Cover (John Robbins' other series, where while a book is read, he draws the
action, similar to what Rolf Harris did in the UK. Used to watch this all the time in class while in
the 4th Grade.)
1PM: Magic Study Skills
1:15PM: Thinkabout
1:30PM: Math That Counts (Program on math skills)
1:45PM: Life Science (not familiar with this show, either)
2PM: Animals and Such (Compared to "Wild Kingdom" and "Wild Wild World of Animals", this
nature series was quite dull)
2:15PM: Dragons, Wagons and Wax (A multiple-subject series for kids)
2:30PM: Once Upon a Classic (Another series made available for educational use; that week's
episode not given)
Tuesday:
9AM: The Letter People
9:15AM: Math That Counts
9:30AM: Let's All Sing (1973 music instruction series, with an emphasis on folk music, which was
already passe by 1979)
9:45AM: Magic Vocabulary
10AM: Letter People
10:15AM: Cover to Cover
10:30AM: Finding Your Way (Geography)
10:45AM: Self, Incorporated (One of many shows that are "knockoffs" of Inside-Out; apparently,
the "In-School After School Special" formula that was proven successful by the shows' producer,
the Agency for Instructional Television)
11:30AM: Finding Your Way
11:45AM: Bread and Butterflies (yet another Inside Out-style show)
12 Noon: Magic Vocabulary
12:15PM: Gather 'Round
12:30PM: Zebra Wings (not familiar with this, either)
1PM: Thinkabout
1:15PM: The Living Language (also not familiar with this)
1:25PM: Tradeoffs (a series on the principles of economics, for elementary and middle school
children; that series sort-of came in handy recently when I was studying macro- and
microeconomics in college; the time is a little off-kilter, as it is a 20-minute program)
1:45PM: Florida's Backyard (WEDU's series on Florida's flora and fauna)

2:15PM: Cover to Cover
2:30Pm: Music Is
Wednesday through Friday I'll cover another time -- there's alot to write and it's getng late.

WUSF channel 16 (PBS) - University Owned Station
The schedule that was presented here was entirely false, save for some prime-time shows --
after starting full-time broadcasts around 1974-1975, WUSF would not carry children's
programming again until the 1990s, and only in the evening hours. As I'm running late here as I
write this, I'll post the actual schedules another time.

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay - Public TV - Weekdays - October 22-26, 1979
The only time that 16's schedule was possibly false was the 4 PM-6 PM slot. I may have misread
another PBS outlet - the channels were a bit blurry. A few times I mistaked channel numbers
when listings were blurry from the online archives. After 6 the schedule is about 95 % accurate.
Also before 6 PM after looking Channel 16 had NO listings except for saying Various Programs.
HEY BEsides PBS is something I have little understanding about and I get quite bored posting PBS
Listings. I probably was half asleep posting these schedules...That is how booring I find PBS.
Nothing personal. There may be an occasional mistake but for the most part its accurate.

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay - November 13-17, 1978 - Commercial Stations
Not so unusual to have a commercial station carrying "Sesame
Street." I don't think there was a PBS station in Southwest Florida
at the time, and closer to home WLOS Asheville, NC and WKPT
Kingsport, TN (both ABC affiliates) carried "Sesame Street" because
of weak PBS signals (Channel 33 in Asheville, Channels 47 in Norton, VA
and 52 in Marion, VA serving the Tri-Cities). And I'm sure there were
others; I keep thinking that WOI Des Moines (ABC) also carried it, even
though WOI is on Channel 5 and PBS on Channel 11. Somebody correct
me on that one.
I seem to recall WLOS carrying "Sesame Street" against "Captain Kangaroo"
on WSPA at one time; don't think that was a good call, having two quality
kids' shows head to head.

I checked one of the Sarasota papers, and it showed "Liars Club"
at 7 PM on Channel 10. I'm aware that a lot of stations showed
"Joker's Wild" and "Tic Tac Dough" back-to-back, as they do "Wheel
Of Fortune" and "Jeopardy!", but I think this one needs straightening
out; "Tic Tac Dough" was shown as being on Channel 11 at 7.

According to the Evening Independent, Markd's evening schedule for what was now WTSP
channel 10 (having been sold earlier) was correct -- World News Tonight at 6, Joker's Wild at
6:30, Liar's Club at 7 and Dating Game at 7:30.
In the Tampa Bay area, no one cleared Tic Tac Dough that season; WFLA would pick it up in the
Fall of 1979, but Joker would have no home after WTSP dropped it in favor of Sanford & Son
Reruns at 6:30, Match Game at 7, and syndicated weeklies at 7:30 (Guinness Game Mondays,
Muppets Tuesdays, Family Feud Wednesdays and Fridays, Name That Tune Thursdays). In the fall
of 1980, WTVT would pick up The Joker's Wild weeknights at 7:30PM -- opposite Tic Tac Dough
on WFLA (which carried it evenings before moving to weekdays on WTVT in 1984). Joker would
be gone again in Fall 1981, returning to WTVT in 1983; they won't actually be paired up together
until 1985. (All schedules are from the Evening Independent.)
And please note your sources somewhere, preferably at the top, of

And if you're getng your data online or from Google News, it would be helpful if you also
provide a link.

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg - October 21, 1979 - Sunday- Commercial Stations
Football nitpicks:
- It's San Diego Chargers, not Padres.
- Since the Bucs were at home (and according to the 506.com archive, they did sell out), WFLA
could not have shown a 1:00 game.

CORRECT!!!! JUST A TYPO - The listings did not name the team and I did not think closely. My
mistake
Since the Bucs were at home (and according to the 506.com archive, they did sell out), WFLA
WHY NOT!!!!????? (Why could 8 not have shown a 1 PM Game????)
I will check that again - Actually JUST DID - the listings say 8 showed the 4 PM distant game. So
how come 8 did not show The Bucs Game if it was a sell out????

Re: Retro: Washington-Baltimore Saturday, May 26, 1979
Out of curiosity, I checked retrosheet, the 'old baseball box scores' site. This game lasted 16
innings, and over 5 hours, so a lot of 'pre-empted regular programming' that day! (I wonder if
WMAR might have run Andy after the game, at 7:30; it sounds like something some markets
further south might have done!)

As they had a 6PM newscast, I would think they went to news after the game, then right to CBS
prime-time at 8.

This must have been reruns of The Alvin Show from 1961. Alvin and the Chipmunks would not

Always wondered where that line came from! I think I first heard it in a 1940s Popeye cartoon-
one of the handful co-starring 'Shorty', a short-lived (no pun intended) sidekick of the Sailor
Man, who actually put the moves on Olive in one cartoon(her eyes were like 'limpid pools'...)
Boyer's character's name must have been the inspiration for Le skunque romantique, although
Blanc and other sources say the skunk's voice was based on Maurice Chevalier.

...Ace (their "How Long" was a U.S. hit circa '75) and String Driven Thing were two separate acts.
And this lineup of acts, taken from 1976 episodes of London Weekend Television's Supersonic,
show why Jukebox got very little viewership traction in '78-'79 -- these were all ancient, pre-punk
glam rock and pop acts that even the British had quit buying the records of years earlier. I myself
loved it, but it had little relevance to the British rock acts -- Elvis Costello, Dire Straits, Sad Cafe,
Nick Lowe -- that were popping up on Saturday Night Live, The Midnight Special and even Don
Kirshner's Rock Concert...
...now, this is an interesting case. Although NBC officially cancelled The Bay City Rollers Show in
November 1979, the show's head writer, Mark Evanier, found out NBC was feeding it to affiliates
in the half-hour before the "official" start of their Saturday morning lineup as late as 1982.
Apparently, someone at NBC thought the network had unlimited runs of the show (they didn't)
and told master control in New York to send it out, but it wasn't until several years later that
someone else at NBC ordered it stopped. Evanier alerted executive producer Marty Krofft about
the unauthorised reruns, and when NBC finally pulled the plug on the feeds, Krofft then
approached NBC to demand fee payments for the post-November 1979 runs. It actually
generated a "0.0" Nielsen rating in that early morning slot, leading NBC to try to haggle on the
amount they owed Sid & Marty Krofft, Mark Evanier, the Bay City Rollers and anyone else
involved in the show, but the Kroffts dug their heels in and, according to Evanier, NBC eventually
ponied up for all of the money they owed...

Thanks for the info on "Juke Box." I remember Ace and "How Long" being on the charts when I
was in college, but knowing that this show came from England, somebody could assume there
was a group called Ace and String Driven Thing; obviously there was a typo (a comma left out) in
the guest listing for this show.
Somebody mentioned "Alvin And The Chipmunks": I feel sure that those were the 1961 "Alvin
Show" episodes, but by the early '80s there was renewed interest in the boys so that Ross
Bagadasarian Jr. and his wife Janice Karmen (sp?) came up with the show that debuted in 1983;
interestingly, at one point in the '80s, WKEF, then the NBC affiliate in Dayton, was carrying the
new episodes, while CBS affiliate WHIO carried the 1961 episodes.

Re: Retro: Alberta/Eastern British Columbia Sat, June 10, 1967
Interesting that in this TV Guide, the channels only go from 2 to 7. Nothing higher.
According to Wikipedia, KSPS-TV 7, Spokane's public TV station, went on the air in April of 1967,
yet isn't listed in this TV Guide. Or maybe they didn't have weekend programming.
So how did TV Guide deal with having three Channel 2's and three Channel 6's? For the Canadian
channels, I suppose they'd give some of them black screens and some white screens. And maybe
for Spokane, those stations had white screens with a few horizontal lines through them? That's
how later U.S. TV Guides handled it when there were more than two stations with the same
channel number.
Interesting to see that CBXT Edmonton ran French SRC shows before noon, although none of the
other CBC stations did that. I guess it would be the 70s or 80s before there were full time SRC
stations in Western Canada, most on UHF.

A lot of public TV stations didn't broadcast on the weekend during the 60s, mostly due to budget
constraints.

Many CBC-owned stations outside of cities served by an SRC station did that -- running SRC
programming on weekend mornings, until the local SRC station started up.

This would begin to change after Sesame Street started up in 1969, when NET / PBS stations
began to offer Sesame Street reruns as an alternative to Saturday morning cartoons and Sunday
morning religion.

On the channel bullets...
* Spokane stations (KSPS 7 wasn't listed) used striped bullets, with Great Falls listed in white
bullets

Re: Retro: Boston - Monday, November 26, 1956
Some thoughts...
--There are so few TV stations on the air in 1956 that one TV Guide covers most of New England,
only skipping Burlington (part of Montreal edition) and Bangor (Did Maine have its own edition
at this point or were there so few TVs in Bangor that it didn't pay?).
--Channel 5 in Boston, Channel 6 in New Bedford-Providence and Channel 3 in Hartford aren't on

the air yet. Boston, Providence and Hartford still only had two commercial TV stations. Portland
had three if you count WMTW 8 Poland Spring, although 8 and 13 sometimes ran the same CBS
show if neither station opted for whatever ABC was offering.
--There's no Dumont station in New England. Were they gone by this point or did they simply
have no New England affiliate? I thought WMUR 9 Manchester was affiliated with all four
networks at the beginning?
--Notice Channel 55 runs Life with Elizabeth in the morning? Amazing that Betty White starred in
that show in the 50s and is still on NBC today with Off Their Rockers.
--Arthur Godfrey is taking his show to Miami for a two-week vacation. Can you imagine the
expense of doing that? Of course, there was no videotape in those days, no chance to run two
weeks of "Best of Godfrey."
--Funny to see Price Is Right debuting on this date. It's still on the air to this day, despite several
changes in network (now CBS), length (now 60 min.) and format (no more guest panel). And
today's host, Drew Carey, wouldn't be born for another few years.
--The NBC stations in Portland and Providence DON'T run the Tonight Show? Geez, if NBC offers
you a live late night talk/variety show, go with it! WCSH 6 ends the night with Cartoon Theater
instead of Tonight? And WJAR 10 runs a movie? Why not run those things at 1am and carry
Tonight?

Not officially. The Dumont network shut down on 8/6/56, with Boxing from St. Nicholas Arena
continuing as a local program on WABD New York for another year or so. They must have
syndicated it to a few other stations and may have announced that it was a Dumont
presentation, but the network itself had already died.
I wonder if it was also shown on sister-station WTTG Washington after the network shut down.

Re: the "Tonight" show - it wasn't shown on WBZ or WJAR for several years. (A lot of affiliates
dropped it during the "Tonight! America After Dark" era in 1957.) WHDH picked up the show
from their sign-on in November 1957 until September 1966, and WPRO carried it in Providence
until Memorial Day 1960. WBZ usually aired Westinghouse syndicated programming (Steve
Allen, Merv Griffin, "P.M. East") during those years.
As for Godfrey, it's hard for us to conceptualize how much he ruled the airwaves back in the 50's.
(The only present personality who comes even close would be Oprah Winfrey, and even that's
not the same.) My mother tells me stories about her grandmother, an Italian immigrant who
couldn't speak much English, being transfixed by Godfrey's shows. So if he wanted to go to
Miami Beach for two weeks, by golly CBS brought the whole show down there! And the sponsors
were on board with it.

Steve Allen was the original host of "The Tonight Show", beginning in July of 1953 (when the
show was only locally telecast on NBC's flagship station in New York; going network on
September 27th, 1954) through January of 1957.
However, in June of 1956, NBC gave Allen a weekly prime-time comedy/variety show on Sunday
nights (head-to-head against "The Ed Sullivan Show" on CBS). When that happened, Allen
continued to host "Tonight" on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, but gave up the Monday
and Tuesday editions.
After some weeks of guest hosts on Mondays and Tuesdays, Ernie Kovacs (with his own regulars)
became the regular Monday/Tuesday host in the Fall of 1956.
The following January, NBC ordered Allen off of "Tonight" to concentrate full-time on the
Sunday-night show. In what might have been a boneheaded move, the network also dumped
Kovacs (I wonder how the history of late-night TV would have been like if Kovacs had become
the full-time, five-nights-a-week host of "Tonight" in early 1957), replacing both Allen and Kovacs
with something called "Tonight!: America After Dark", which according to critics of the era (I'm
too young to have seen it and I haven't ever found any clips of it on You Tube) was the worst
late-night show in TV history up to that time, a status it probably still "enjoys".

So the whole replacing Leno with Conan at 11:30, then putng Leno on 5 nights a week at 10pm,
then replacing Conan with Leno at 11:30 is not unique. NBC tampered with a winning formula
with America After Dark.
Who knows why Steve Allen couldn't compete with Ed Sullivan in a Sunday night variety show?
Did Sullivan have better guests? Did Americans prefer Sullivan's dead-pan introductions to Allen,
who probably felt he had to sing, play the piano and banter with his guests? And I'm sure it
would have been an interesting chapter of Tonight Show history if Kovacs had gotten the show
five-nights-a-week when Allen left to concentrate on the Sunday night show.

Actually, Steve Allen's Sunday-night show competed against Ed Sullivan for three full years and
although seldom beating Sullivan in the ratings, it was a strong second in that timeslot for most
of that period.
It was moved to Mondays for it's final (1959/60) season.

Re: Retro: Indiana Mon, June 13, 1955
Interesting that WTTV, Channel 4, was then an NBC affiliate. It later became an independent.
I take it Channel 13, WLW-I, wasn't on the air yet.

Interesting that WTTV, Channel 4, was then an NBC affiliate. It later became an independent.
They became an indie after spending a year or so as the ABC affiliate, swapping with WFBM-TV 6
in 1956. NBC was not happy that they were just barely viewable on the more-wealthy north side
of the city and northern suburbs. WFBM had lost its primary CBS affiliation to WISH-TV 8 in 1955
(it had been ABC/Dumont when it started up in 1954).
WTTV transmitted from Cloverdale IN, about halfway between Indianapolis and Terre Haute, at
that time, and was considered the NBC affiliate for both markets. Trouble was, its city of license
was (and is) Bloomington, 50 miles SSW of Indy, and was required to put a city-grade signal
there. They moved the transmitter to Trafalgar, about halfway between B'town and Indy, just
before they lost ABC to WLWI in 1957. WTTV never had full-market coverage of Indianapolis,
which is why they bought WWKI/29 Kokomo and made it a satellite of WTTV, as WTTK, in the
late '80s.
Channel 13 started up in October 1957, after a long legal battle between Crosley (who eventually
got the license) and WIBC radio owner Faribanks, who bought WLWA Channel 11 Atlanta from
Crosley as part of the settlement. IIRC, the battle started in the late '40s or early '50s, when both
companies applied for the pre-freeze Channel 12 allocation, which was moved to 13 in 1952.
ABC immediately moved there from WTTV despite Channel 13 having a horrible signal in the
southern part of the market for decades. WTTV kept a secondary ABC affiliation for several
years, but I don't remember it ever carrying ABC shows after '57 other than news coverage of
JFK's assassination in '63.

Wow, less than 2 years after WKJG (now WISE) signed on in FW, and about 9 months after WINT
(soon to change their calls to WANE) signed on, still listing Waterloo (a little town just north of
FW in DeKalb County) as their secondary city of license. WPTA wouldn't come along for another
year, so WINT still was ABC secondary, I'm guessing for the purpose of carrying ABC's few hits of
the day such as "Disneyland" and "Make Room For Daddy". WKJG was DuMont secondary; by
that time DuMont was down to not much more than boxing, wrestling, and maybe some NFL.
Wonder when WKJG picked up the Tonight show?
Looking through these listings, I see 2 hall of fame sportscasters; Tom Carnegie, the longtime
voice of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway ("Annnnd...Heeeeesssss...On It!"), and Hilliard Gates
on WKJG, who did sports there for years, was their GM for a long time too, and even did the
Rose Bowl a few times for NBC Radio, and can be seen for a couple seconds in the movie
"Hoosiers" calling the state title game.

Tom Carnegie was the main sportscaster at WFBM/WRTV for decades before retiring in the '80s
(he died in 2011 at age 91).
Hilliard Gates took over IU and Purdue basketball PxP from WTTV's Chuck Marlowe (Corky, are
you any relation?) in the mid '70s - not sure of the exact year.

Nope, no relation...I do remember Chuck Marlowe and John Laskowski doing IU games on TV for
a number of years. Marlowe's great claim to immortality is hosting Bobby Knight's weekly show,
in particular the episode when Bobby brought on the "Purdue spokesman" (the donkey wearing
the Purdue hat). "His first name is Jack...I'll let you figure out his last name."

Unless Marlowe subbed for Gates on occasion, they couldn't have been paired. Gates took over
for Marlowe sometime around 1973 or '74 (when I left Bloomington in '73, Marlowe was the
play-caller; when I moved to Chicago in '75 after two years in AZ, Gates was calling the games).
Laskowski played for IU from 1971 to 1975, then was with the Chicago Bulls for two seasons.
IIRC, he joined the IU broadcast team in 1977 or '78. I forget how long he stayed on the
broadcast team.
John Ritter (the ex-IU basketball player, not the actor) also served as an IU/Purdue analyst in the
mid '70s. Laskowski replaced him.

It's likely that Crosley would have sold Ch. 11 in Atlanta to
Richard Fairbanks anyway; Crosley's three NBC stations (Cincinnati,
Columbus, Dayton) were doing just fine in 1962, but the two ABC
stations (Atlanta and Indianapolis) were doing little or nothing to help
the company's bottom line. Given the choice of selling one, Crosley
decided that all of its stations should be in the same region, so Indianapolis
stayed and Atlanta went to Fairbanks, who owned it for six years.
And what goes around, comes around sometimes: Ch. 6 in Indianapolis
was an ABC affiliate in 1955; it's an ABC affiliate today. (I always liked
WTHR's promotional campaign when the two stations swapped networks
in the late '70s: "We're graduating. We've mastered our ABCs. Now we're
graduating to NBC.")

Kind of interesting that WTTV, Channel 4, has been noted as not covering certain portions of the
Indiana area. It is the one Indianapolis-area station that could usually be received in this region
although having a good antenna aimed in that direction or at least being in a good location, was
important.

Crosley as part of the settlement. IIRC, the battle started in the late '40s or early '50s, when both
companies applied for the pre-freeze Channel 12 allocation, which was moved to 13 in 1952.
Per the 2/2/48 Broadcasting Magazine, Crosley first applied for Channel 8, but stated their
intention to change it to Channel 12 in the future. Which of course they did.
The 10/11/48 issue of Broadcasting Magazine (PDF file linked from DE's site) shows the following
stations in Indiana. Channel numbers in parentheses next to the city are the allocations.
Bloomington (10)
10 WTTV (CP) - Sarkes & Mary Tarzian (Air date 11/49, moved to Channel 4 in 1953)
Evansville (2, 11)
11 ---- (App) - Trans-America TV Corp.
Ft. Wayne (2, 4, 7, 9)
4 ---- (App) - Northeastern Indiana BC Co,
4 ---- (App) - Farnsworth TV & Radio Corp. (Yes, that Farnsworth)
Indianapolis (3, 6, 8, 12)
3 WUTV (CP) - Wm H. Block Co. (Never made it to air)
6 WFBM-TV (CP) - WFBM, Inc. (Air date 5/49, now WRTV)
8 ---- (App) - Indianapolis BC Company
8 ---- (App) - Universal BC Company
12 ---- (App) - Crosley BC Corp. (Became WLWI Ch. 13, air date 10/57, now WTHR)
12 ---- (App) - Indiana BC Co.
South Bend (13)
13 ---- (App) - South Bend Tribune (Originally for Channel 1. Became WSBT-TV 22, air date 12/52
on Ch. 34)
The applications for Channels 8 & 12 in Indy were in hearings at that time.

Didn't WBZ-4 produce a wrestling show in it's studio during the mid-to-late 1950's???

I thought I once heard somewhere that the late Dave Maynard first came to WBZ to work on the
TV side for a "record hop" type show, but when it was cancelled, a DJ slot at WBZ-1030 had
opened up and that Maynard went there for many years.

Noticing Rex Trailer's "Boomtown" was three hours long. Similarly KYW-TV 3 starting Cleveland
ran Barnaby (with Later co-host Woodrow) 2 to 2 and a half hours Saturday Mornings (mostly 8-
10 or 7:30-10) from 1960-69 or so..
Story I read recently:
Rex Trailer came to Boston from Philadelphia in 1956..He originally had a choice of either KYW
Cleveland or WBZ Boston. Of course, he chose WBZ which makes one wonder how the KYW
history would have been rewritten had he chose Cleveland..

opened up and that Maynard went there for many years.
Just by accident I found a bit about this in the Globe Radio & TV column dated March 9, 1958:
"Early in April Ch. 4 will have a new Saturday afternoon record hop on the air from 1:30 to 2:30
p.m. on a weekly basis. Dave Maynard will act as host and emcee, interviewing personalities in
the world of music."
It goes on to mention Dave's education at Emerson College and his masters from Boston
University, and "radio work" (no stations given).

Star Trek at 5:25, and then Tom and Jerry at 5:55? Based upon the length, it has to be the 1973-
75 Filmation Saturday Morning version. Otherwise, I don't think Paramount Television would
have allowed any station to horribly slash TOS down to 30 minutes.

Re: Retro: Bay Area/Sacramento/Central Coast Fri, May 18, 1973

May 18th was 3 months before I moved to the Bay Area. For those who care about local news:
probably the highest rated local news team of all time (to date) was Van Amburg and Jerry
Jensen on Channel 7 NewsScene who were credited with being pioneers in "happy talk" and for
teasing and leading with sensationalist headlines..."if it bleeds, it leads" and all that. It is legend
(pehaps apocryphal) that "Van" once teased the 11:00 news with, "Severed penis found on
railroad tracks! Details at 11:00."
By 1974, both KRON and KPIX had blown out their anchors to try to compete with KGO-TV, to no
avail until the early 80s. Ron Magers was let go from KPIX, and moved to Chicago where he
became a very respected and high-rated anchor. I believe he retired recently. Magers and his co-
anchor (Carol Marin) famously resigned in protest when their station hired Jerry Springer to do
commentary.

You know you're reading very old listings when...KRON cleared EVERY show on NBC's daytime
lineup, with only one ('Three on a Match') airing, presumably, out of pattern.
Also, KPIX actually clearing 'The Price is Right'; once CBS moved that show to mornings, it
vanished from channel 5's schedule(and from SF altogether until Jim Gabbert bought channel 20
in 1980) in favor of more local yakfests, and didn't reappear on KPIX til the late '90s(and it wasn't
til after the turn of the millennium that they finally aired it in pattern again!)
BTW, 'The Bentley Affair' may sound like an episode title for The Jeffersons, but it was actually a
morning 'women's talk show', hosted by one of KPIX's news anchors, Helen Bentley; info and
obit from the SF Chronicle last year:
http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/articl...es-3826195.php
Over on KGO, the early morning Jim Dunbar show was actually called 'AM San Francisco'; I was
aware that Dunbar(longtime KGO-AM host) did this TV show, but not that he was billed in the
title. (The film 'Zodiac' a few years back features a vintage clip of Dunbar discussing that case). In
a couple of years, ABC would launch its national morning show, originally 'AM America', and the
San Francisco version moved to 9 AM, as KGO finally did away with the morning movie.
Speaking of which, this is a year or two before KGO moved it's '6:30 Movie' to 3:30; was WABC's
movie airing at 4:30 by this point? And did KABC also have a 6:30 movie? Seems odd not to have
syndicated/prime access programs. I guess, since such shows were once or twice a week back
then, KGO just bought a couple at a time, and saved them for Saturday evenings.

Here's a 60 Minutes report from 1974 about KGO and the San Francisco TV news market; it
touches on some of the things you brought up:

Ron Magers was let go from KPIX, and moved to Chicago where he became a very respected and
high-rated anchor. I believe he retired recently.
Ron Magers still anchors at WLS.

...a 1966 NBC TV-movie that served as the pilot for the 1968-71 NBC series The Name of The
Game. Ironically, the pilot starred Anthony Franciosa, who went on to become one of the three
modular stars of the series, but Franciosa appeared in much less episodes of the series (17) than
the other two stars, Robert Stack (26) and Gene Barry (42)...

...although the bits used only one "anchor," those teases were mercilessly spoofed in the
mid-'70s in The Kentucky Fried Movie ("The popcorn you're eating has been p*$$ed in -- Film at

Re: Retro: Philadelphia Sun, Sept 27, 1953
Does anybody know the reason for the special Sunday-afternoon
telecast of "What's My Line?" The following year, on Sunday,
September 26, a special edition of "Masquerade Party" aired at
2 PM on all the networks. Was this for some charitable cause, or
what?

Based on what the listings said, I have to assume the reason for it was the launch of the
Community Chest Drive. Did the DuMont full affiliates like WDTV Pittsburgh or WABD NYC carry
that as well?

Yeah, I guess Ike's appearance was very brief.
As for the DuMont stations I don't know if they
carried the "What's My Line?" special, but I've
never found anything to indicate they carried
the '54 "Masquerade Party" special.

It appears the afternoon "What's My Line" is another "thought lost but discovered on private
kinescope" case; scroll to the bottom of the tv.com page for details:

Looking at the schedule for the 1953 Bears and they are shown playing the (new) Baltimore Colts
team (named after the AAFC franchise that folded in 1950 and formed of the remains of the old
Dallas Texans team -- not to be confused with the later version that is now the Kansas City
Chiefs).

...I'm positive that only one DuMont affiliate that wasn't owned and operated by the network
itself, Tribune Co.'s WGN-TV/9 Chicago, wasn't split at the time with another network, usually
ABC, like was the case with WOKY-TV/19 Milwaukee. (WGN-TV had earlier shared the CBS
affiliation with WBKB/4, but by this time CBS had bought Channel 4 and converted it into
WBBM-TV/2, taking the last elements of the network away from the Channel 9 schedule.) Even
WDTV was split between NBC, CBS, ABC and DuMont...

Re: Retro: San Francisco, Tuesday, Oct. 20, 1953
I'm assuming KRON had 'Today' prior to 9 AM, and KPIX likely had some network programming
then as well(but not Captain Kangaroo, who was a year away, and was only on Saturdays at the
beginning) but it's possible that KGO didn't even sign on until then.
As a Bay Area native, seeing listings that predate KQED 9 (1954) and KTVU 2 (1958) is a bit
surreal!

Makes you wonder why Channel 2 took so long to go on the air. Wouldn't the channels be filled
starting with the lowest? San Francisco and Denver may be the only large markets I can think of
where Channel 2 was an independent for so long. In other cities, the Independent stations
usually were higher on the dial, or on UHF. I suppose they signed on later, after the earlier
stations got to be major network affiliates.
I notice KPIX doesn't carry the CBS Evening News. And I also see KRON carries their own news at
6:45 but waits till 7:45 for the NBC John Cameron Swayze news. KGO runs no news, not their
own, not ABC News with John Daly, who also hosted What's My Line for many years. Even in
1953, you'd think a major market station like KGO-TV would run some news, at least a guy
reading wire copy for 15 minutes, to keep the FCC happy. Was KGO-AM-TV owned by ABC in
1953? Does this pre-date the ABC TV News Department?
Any idea what "KMA 438" is on Channel 5 at 6:15? That's an odd name for a TV show, unless the
newspaper got it wrong.
And I guess they used the name "Kitchen" for any cooking show. Kitchen is listed twice on the
KRON schedule, once on KPIX. I also see Red Skelton is only 30 minutes on KPIX. I guess it would
be later that he'd get an hour long variety show.

A little Googling provides the answer to the meaing of "KMA 438." This from the SFPD's Pofice
Officer's Association website (an edited excerpt):
"In the 1940s, the FCC assigned designators for law enforcement to use to distinguish
themselves from all the other agencies. Every police department had to apply for a
license/designator and was assigned one by the FCC. Back then radio communications were on
an AM band and were receiving only, no two-way radio (except, of course, for Dick Tracy). The
FCC required an all-broadcast every half hour for all agencies with an FCC license, with the
addition of Morse Code broadcast to follow. This allowed the FCC to know who was using their
license. If there was no use after a certain time period of time, the call-sign (band width) would
be given to another entity. Hence we had This is the San Francisco Police Department, KMA
438.
I remember you'd hear TV cops like Sgt. Joe Friday say "KMA" when he was on the 2 way radio.
So perhaps this program was some kind of local informationshow about law enforcement, or
police activities - kind of like the old "Police Blotter" columns in newspapers that would
summarize the crimes and arrests of the previous day or week.

Google couldn't find anything specific about why the Bay Rea got channel 2 os 'late', compared
to other markets. I've seen contradictory accounts describing the penertration of the channel 2
signal as being wither very strong, or problematic.
At the time channels 4, 5 and 7 went on the air in the late 40s, the FCC had not cleared anything
higher than channel 7 for the VHF band.
As for Red Skelton, his show was a half-hour until 1962.

...I'm fairly positive that Today didn't air any further west than the Mountain Time Zone this early
in the series' run; in fact, CBS' 1950s competition to Today, The Morning Show, never ran on the
West Coast, which instead got the Hollywood-based Panorama Pacific with Red Rowe each
weekday morning...

I believe you're right, Stitch. As a matter of fact, I remember for a short period they had editions

About a week later after these listings were made, WRTV (6) and WTHR (13) would swap
network affiliations; 6 to ABC, 13 to NBC.

Re: Retro Virginia Beach/Norfolk - Fall of 1973 - Sunday

Checking the506 and CBS had the doubleheader on October 21 (didn't see a time listed for the
DAL/NYG game; probably 4:00). Also that site has the STL/WAS game at 1:00; so maybe the
listing for the NFL Today and the game were a half hour off.

Re: Retro Virginia Beach/Norfolk - Fall of 1973 - Sunday
TV 27 was all religious still on Sundays - But weekdays it was a pretty typical independent station
by 1973 in the fall. Back in 1971 they were only on 8 hours a day but by 73 they were on about
20 hours a day. Weekdays from thois time is posted someplace.

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay -- October 28, 1978
8AM: Scooby Doo
9AM: Fangface

This ABC Saturday morning schedule was posted for both WTSP and WXLT. I don't think
"Fangface" and "Super Friends" both started at 9 AM - although a 90-minute "Laff A Lympics"
program is very realistic.

ABC had both schedules that season at some point. I remember Laff Olympics airing 9-11 AM
most of the season but they did change that at some point.

Re: Retro: Golden Horseshoe/Buffalo/Rochester Sat, June 14, 1958
Back then, NBC was on UHF in Buffalo (the old WBUF-17, a O&O).
However, I suspect UHF penetration was quite low, and those east of Buffalo watched NBC
programs over WROC-5 in Rochester, those southwest of Buffalo watched NBC programs on
WICU-12 Erie; and those in Buffalo probably got to see some NBC shows that via simulcasts on
CBLT-6 in Toronto and CHCH-11 Hamilton (probably the latter).
I'm pretty sure that a few months later, WKBW-7 signed-on, and once that occurred, NBC sold-
off WBUF and affiliated with WGR-2, with WKBW getng ABC.
I suspect that when the NBC affiliation became available in Buffalo, WGR dropped ABC because
back then, ABC was a deep third in the ratings (although a few ABC shows were starting to
become quite successful). NBC was neck-and-neck with CBS for prime-time ratings superiority in
that era, not to mention that NBC was the leader in color TV and was about to overtake CBS as
the leader in news coverage.
It was a "no brainer" for WGR to dump the Alphabet and go with the Peacock.

But WKBW-TV 7 was successful from day one as an ABC affiliate. Western N. Y. took to the
channel almost immediately. One of the few markets back then, outside of the top 3 where an
ABC affiliate was so dominate.

And just a few years later WOKR 13 hit the airwaves in Rochester. The new ABC affiliate, also,
was an immediate success. In fact, WOKR was considered by many, to be one of the most
successful stations in the country for many years. Western NY viewers have been very kind to
ABC over the years.

Source: Columbus Dispatch
Note: The Columbus Dispatch was an evening newspaper back then. It carried television listings
for each evening from 5:00 p.m. to the end of the broadcast day and also the next day from sign
on until 5:00 p.m.
The full days program schedules for the Columbus television stations for June 14 were compiled
from the June 13, 1973 and June 14, 1973 editions of the Columbus Dispatch.
It must be noted that Columbus didnt have an independent television station back then. Cable
television existed in Columbus in 1973. I remember very well that the Cleveland independent
stations WUAB-TV Channel 43 and WKBF-TV Channel 61 were carried in the Columbus cable
television system lineup back then.
However, the Columbus Dispatch didnt carry program listings of the Cleveland independent
stations at that time. I believe it wasnt until sometime during 1974 or 1975 that the cable
television program listings would be carried in the Columbus Dispatch.

Re: Retro: Columbus, Ohio Thursday June 14, 1973
Interesting how the Dispatch's listings include stations in West Virginia and Athens, Ohio. Maybe
that was because the paper's circulation included the southeast area of the state where those
stations were received.

You mean some CBS affiliate actually carried "Three For The Road"
Sundays at 7? (I'm kidding; WSPA Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville
also did.) So many CBS affiliates bumped it for local news at 7 and
syndicated programs at 7:30 (WAGA aired "Wild Wild World Of Animals"
at 7:30) that in December the network inserted "60 Minutes" into that
timeslot, and the rest is history. Essentially, "60 Minutes" ran virtually
unopposed for years as the only adult-appeal program in a timeslot
specifically marked out for public-affairs or children's programming, the
latter of which NBC (with Disney) and ABC (with "The Hardy Boys/Nancy
Drew Mysteries," among others) had staked out. That had a lot to do
with "60 Minutes" becoming the number-one series in 1979-80.

From what I've seen on the 506 and Pro-Football-Reference; noticed a couple of things I needed
to point out.
1. From researching the506; CBS had the doubleheader that week; so NBC couldn't have shown
a 4:00 p.m. game on WAVY.
2. Also, the 1:00 Steelers vs. Bengals and 4:00 Cowboys vs. Redskins games are listed; but some
digging on both sites shows the Jets were playing Buffalo at 1:00 (Baltimore played Cleveland
that day). Also neither the Giants or Eagles were playing that Sunday (the G-men had beaten San
Diego the previous day; while Philly was playing the Rams on Monday night)

1:00 Movie "Perfect Strangers"
The 1950 Ginger Rogers film which also starred Alan Reed (later of Fred Flintstone fame)--not to
be confused with a TV "classic" which also had that title which first aired 21 years after the date
of this listing. ;D
Wikipedia information on the "Perfect Strangers" film:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect...281950_film%29
New York Times movie review on this film (with very interesting quotes in the 4th paragraph that
might also be applicable to that other show with the same title which first aired in '86):

Yes, Tim, I would put "Perfect Strangers" very, very loosely in quotes as far as "classic" is
concerned... :-X

Re: Retro: Columbus Sun, June 19, 1988
Game 6 of the NBA Finals did indeed take place on this day, from the Forum in suburban Los
Angeles (Inglewood). This was the game where Detroit's Isiah Thomas (on a bad ankle he
suffered during the middle of that game) went on his scoring tear in the third quarter, scoring 25
of his 43 points in that session. The Lakers went on to beat the Pistons in seven games (including
winning game 6, 103-102), while Detroit got their revenge over L.A. the following year sweeping
them in-route to their first-ever NBA title.

Not any weekday preemptions yet. Would preempt Edge Of Night beginning next year in 1977.
Sunday Morning cartoon reruns did not air on this station either. But that did air on TV 40 at
least. Perry Mason was headed for Channel 44 at Noon next year by the way. It would stay there
in that time slot for a few years but not for over 40 years like on 12 KPTV Portland, Oregon.

No Young & the Restless still. Would be added next year but then Search For Tomorrow would be
gone. Still both shows aired in Ft. Meyers/Naples on 11. Also they dumped Sunday Morning
Cartoon/Kids Shows reruns - So if you lived in this region and liked Hudson Brothers or Far Out
Space Nuts you were out of luck even with cable being 11 WINK also did not run them. I doubt 6

Ran just about every NBC show. So cable subscribers in Tampa Bay got the WFLA preempted
shows at least.
"Van Dyke and Company" was a short-lived variety show, hosted by Dick Van Dyke. It was only on
for about a month. The next season, DVD joined the cast of 'The Carol Burnett Show', as a
replacement for Harvey Korman..and was dropped before the end of the year.
8 had Somerset after all - just delayed till 4 PM.
4PM was the regular pattern for Somerset. NBC affiliates were given the option of running it at
noon/1PM to avoid direct competition with The Edge of Night, but the earlier timeslot was the
exception, not the rule.

Two major errors:
1. On WFLA, it was the other way around.
2. The WLCY lineup was Truth or Consequences at 10 and Medical Center at 10:30.

Re: Retro: St. Louis - Sunday, November 12, 1978
But wait, there's more! Here's the 11/12/78 edition of Television Letter Box, six letters to the
Post-Dispatch Television editor:
From Mrs. Charles S.:
I would like to thank Channel 4 for the most beautiful and heart rending story, "Like Mom, Like
Me," with Linda Lavin and Kristy McNichol. It was so beautiful that it brought tears to my
husband's eyes and to mine. Please try and make a new series from this show. Both of the
actresses were magnificent and their portrayals were beautiful.
From A.P.:
I wish to offer some posies to Channel 9 for their showing "Over Easy" on Saturday afternoons
with Hugh Downs. While I'm not of retirement age as of now, I do find the program most
entertaining and informative. I hope it continues for a long time.
From "Very Pleased":
People are always being criticized about things they do wrong. I believe strongly in letng
someone know when they have done right. I would like to take the time to thank the ABC
television network for their new smash hit comedy series, "Mork & Mindy." This show is exactly
what the public is looking for.
From D.M.S.:
I would like to say no one has the right to say something should be taken off the air because it is
trash. Everyone has the right to watch what they want, trash or no trash.
From L.A.L.:
We just finished watching "Cotton Candy" and I had to write to tell you how much we loved it. It
was great. I hope to see more enjoyable shows like that one in the future.
Finally, from M.A.L.N.:

Sports should have a channel all its own.

Most certainly this was done because KSD-TV was the Post-Dispatch's station.
Other newspapers were guilty of preferentially promoting their own properties also, in one form
or another. I remember seeing front pages from old copies of the Washington Post and saw
"WTOP TV (9) Radio (1500)" under the masthead. IIRC, the Los Angeles Times also did the same
thing when they owned KTTV during the 1950s.

Nicely spotted, it was indeed Marlo and the Magic Movie Machine. That's my faulty transcribing
rather than a misprint in the TV book, so apologies all around.
You have an extremely sharp eye, DToTheJ. If I ever need anyone to watch my back, you'll be the
first one I contact.

ATV0 (0-Ten) (so named due to affiliates on ch 0 in Melbourne and Brisbane, and ch 10 in Sydney

Yet it worked for NBC with Huntley-Brinkley.

Re: Hawaii, November 24-28, 1975
quote: 9AM NBC Movie: "Smile When I Say I Do" (Made for TV, 1973)
Actually, I think the actual title was, "Smile, When You Say 'I Do.'" It was an Allen Funt/Candid
Camera for ABC's Movie of the Week. I saw part of that movie when it was on and singer Ray
Stevens was in that part.

WSFP (the PBS station now going by the call letters WGCU) did not launch in the Fort Myers-
Naples tv market until 1983. Prior to that, PBS was seen exclusively on cable. In Lee (Fort Myers)
and Charlotte (Port Charlotte) counties, they carried WEDU Channel 3 out of Tampa; in Collier
(Naples) and Bonita Springs (which is in southern Lee County) they carried WPBT Channel 2 out
of Miami. In fact, the Collier cable systems carried WPBT until the late 90's/early 2000's.

Re: Retro: Tampa/St Petersburg - 10/24-28/1977 - Commercial stations - weekdays
YOU'RE RIGHT!!!! Channel 10 WLCY had news weeknights at 6 p.m. in the fall of 1977 at least.
BUT in 1978 they did have it at 5:30 and also in 76 they did. I checked sources - 6 PM sounds far
more logical. I checked the source and wondered how I would list news at 5:30 and my theory
was other years it was. I post these schedules through cut and paste from pervious years and
make corrections of the changes that occurred over that year to save time and sometimes I just
miss a change. This was such an instance.

Basically cleared the entire ABC lineup. I guess this is why they existed as well - Mystery to me
was that while Channel 10 was a bit farther north and did not have a good signal in Sarasota -
How did the UHF stations have a better signal. Back in 1995 when Channel 40 wound up keeping
ABC affiliation - its surprising they did not switch to CBS due it it moving to Channel 10. I guess in
the end the 28 signal was no better there than Channel 10 was???

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay Commercial stations - Weekdays - October 13-17, 1975
WLCY (WTSP) Channel 10's transmitter was located further north of the other Tampa Bay-area
stations was because of spacing issues with Miami's Channel 10 (WPLG); it's much the same
reason why the transmitter of Miami's Channel 6 (WCIX, and later WTVJ) was placed futher
south than its fellow South Florida stations.

I have a few questions about these schedules, because my
parents were living in the Bay Area in 1975.
First, I never recall Channel 10 carrying ABC News at 6:30
in the entire time we lived there (1973-76); we always got
ABC at 6, NBC at 6:30, and CBS at 7. Channel 10 also carried
ABC's 4 PM program at least from the time "Pyramid" moved from
CBS to ABC in 1974; they also carried "The Money Maze," You Don't
Say!," and "Edge Of Night" at 4 at least up until we left in October
1976 and probably beyond that.
Second, Channel 13 carried an hour of news from 12-1 called
"Pulse Plus!", followed by "Search For Tomorrow" at 1. We did
not get "The Young And The Restless."
Russ Byrd's show was not a kids' show; it was an early-morning
news/talk show.
Finally, I remember a 1 PM newscast on WFLA; I never remember
"Celebrity Sweepstakes" at 1.
Can you verify these schedules with either TV Guide or the Tampa
Tribune?

Just took a better look
Channel 8 was accurate
except for 1 PM - news WAS on then. Wierd time for news -
Channel 44 was accurate
Channel 10

6-11 The Same
11:30 -3:30 the same
4 PM NAME THAT TUNE-Game (Mon)
TREASURE HUNT-Game (Tues)
HOLLYWOOD SQUARES-Game (Wed-Thurs)
WAIT TILL YOUR FATHER GETS HOME-Cartoon (Fri)
5:30 NEWS
6 PM ABC NEWS
6:30 WHAT'S MY LINE-Game
7 PM BOWLING FOR DOLLARS-Game
8 PM ON - the same
5 AM - 10:30 THE SAME
11 AM GAMBIT-Game
12 NOON PULSE PLUS - did go till 1 PM
1:30 - 6 PM - the SAME
6 PM ON - THE SAME
Channel 40 was correct with the exception of the 7 p.m. hour.
They ran various public affairs shows and syndicated shows in that hour
Monday 7 PM - Space 1999
Tuesday 7 PM - The Scene - Music
Wednesday 7 PM - Candid Camera and Pyramid (25.000 dollar)
Thursday 7 PM -Hee Haw (Yes They did run that someplace)
Friday 7 PM - Wild Kingdom and Price Is Right
So that is what I found looking closer - No Young & The Restless is quite unusual.
Sometimes I cut and paste a NYC schedule for network shows and sometimes overlook local
differences and take for granted an odd hour like 1 PM would be the same everyehere - I will
take closer looks and look for things that are unusual for today.
6-11 The Same
No, I think you're wrong. I looked at those same listings on Google News Archive and they say
that I Dream of Jeannie aired at 10 followed by Perry Mason at 10:30, and The FBI was on at
4:30. The St. Petersburg Times and the Lakeland Ledger say the same thing. If you don't believe
me, here's the link:
Turn to page 55.
Oh, yeah...and WTVT's afternoon lineup was really:
4:00 Dragnet
4:30 Ironside
5:30 Adam 12

Channel 13 was in the wrong order - right shows -
Channel 10 may well have had both lineups mentioned at different points. Here in the NYC
Market when stations changed lineups some publications had them sooner than others. But up
here Channel 5 then WNEW TV was notorious for changing lineups before TV Guide could make
changes. Some papers changed right away and others took as long as TV Guide to change. So its
possible different publications listed things differently back then. Though network affiliates I
would think had more stable lineups.
Retro: St. Louis - November 13-18, 1978
FYI: The listing for Sunday, November 12, 1978 can be found in this thread.
Same notes as that other post: Though I post the channels in the standard order (2-4-5-9-11-30);
the Post-Dispatch ordered them 5-4-2-11-30-9.
Also, the Post-Dispatch listings included many "Paid Program Advertisements," in which specific
listings appeared in BOLD and ALL CAPS.
Any misspellings and continuity errors are likely mine. Find something unexplainable and I'll
clarify the situation.

Re: Retro: Boston - Friday, June 29, 1962
Harry Reasoner may have been substituting for Cronkite; I think
I've seen that same listing in the Atlanta edition of TV Guide.
As for ABC daytime, "Day In Court" did air at 1, "Jane Wyman
Presents" at 2. June 29 was the last broadcast of "Window
Shopping" (12:30); the new lineup, starting July 2 (and also the
first ABC daytime lineup I remember because WRAL Raleigh switched
from NBC to ABC on August 1) was:
12 N Jane Wyman Presents
12:30 Camouflage
12:55 ABC News (Alex Dreier)
1 PM (Local)
2 PM Day In Court
2:30 Seven Keys
4:50 American Newsstand (Roger Sharp)

Re: Retro: Boston - Friday, June 29, 1962
Thanks for the info - I wasn't sure if they moved for the summer or the Wiki network daytime
schedule was wrong. In any case, a large portion of NBC and ABC daytime was preempted in
Boston throughout the 60s. This was remedied when channel 38 came on the air in October
1964 and started taking uncleared network programming about a year later.
Here's a clip of "American Newsstand" from YouTube:

"American Bandstand" did not get on the ABC-TV Network until August of 1957. As such, the
"Bandstand" show on WNHC, Channel 8, in New Haven would have been something else. In June
of that year, Dick Clark was hosting "Bandstand" on weekday afternoons, but it was only
televised live by WFIL-TV, Channel 6, in Philadelphia. It became "American Bandstand" when it
went on the network.

It was a local show, starting in October 1956 and the title was "The Connecticut Bandstand"
(usually shortened to "Bandstand" in TV listings). It was on at least until the early 1960s. Hosts
included Jim Gallant, Diggie Nevins and Mike Sapack. This is from a March 1961 article in
Billboard.

Although it may have been listed by the New York Herald-Tribune as "Tonight Show", I believe
the program was actually titled "America After Dark".
The listing did not indicate who was host that night, but Hy Gardner, Earl Wilson, and Bob
Considine were regulars on that show.
Jack Lescoulie had left the show by this time (and returned that week to "Today"; he was guest
host on the 24th and became a regular when Dave Garroway returned from vacation), and New
York jazz disc jockey Al "Jazzbo" Collins had become host.
I believe that NBC had already decided to cancel "America After Dark" and bring-in Jack Paar to
revive the previous talk/variety format ("America After Dark", from what I've heard, was more
like a late-night version of "Today") and that Collins was an interim host until Paar and his
producers were ready to take over, which was in late July.
There was good reason: Not only did most of the large viewership Steve Allen had dissipated,
but the number of NBC stations carrying "Tonight" had dropped by more than half during the
"America After Dark" fiasco: At the end, only about 60 (of about 165) NBC stations carried the
show. When Paar took over, I believe the number of stations immediately jumped to about 65,
and had passed 100 stations by the end of 1957; and by 1959, was seen on all but a handful of
NBC stations (and where the NBC station declined to clear it, on another station in that market).
Incidentally, June 24th, 1957 was also the date when the two Group W/Westinghouse stations
(WBZ-4 Boston and KYW-3, then in Cleveland) which were affiliated with NBC at the time
stopped carrying "America After Dark". WBZ wouldn't carry the show again until 1966, almost
four years after Johnny Carson took over; "Tonight" wouldn't be back on the NBC station in
Cleveland until some months after NBC swapped KYW with the then-WRCV-3 Philadelphia.
In Boston, the old WHDH-5 began running "Tonight" once it began broadcasting in November of
1957 (and continued carrying it until 1966); in Cleveland, WEWS-5 carried Paar (and later
Carson) until after NBC regained an O&O in Cleveland. I believe some sort of contractual
arrangement with WEWS prevented the now-WKYC-3 from picking-up Johnny in Cleveland for
some months after NBC acquired the station.

Just curious: What was NBC4 running at 9am? I assume a local show or did the station take
central time feed of the Today Show (a live repeat of the 7am hour)?
Was the 1pm News with Cronkite a local show? It's strange to see network correspondents doing
local news broadcasts for CBS2 but this was before Jack Schneider took local news away from the
CND (a move portrayed in "Network").
ABC7 did a 15 minute sports show at 7pm leading into network news and no local news?
Wasn't Dumont out of business by this time? Maybe they still held the license for what's now
Fox5 but network operations would have ceased.
7:30pm CBS "The Adventures of Robin Hood" A really great show. Cozi and RTV are running it
now. It holds up very well. An ensemble of British actors and great writing from Blacklisted US
writers working under pseudonyms.

DuMont ceased entertainment programming in September 1955, and sports programming about
a year later.
As for Cronkite @ 1p, that was a network newscast leading into "Stand Up and Be Counted".

The Dumont network was long gone by 1957, but it was still the name of the company that held
the WABD license. It wasn't changed to Metropolitain Broadcasting, later Metromedia, until
1958. But for some reason, TV Guide still listed WABD and some other ex-Dumont affiliates as
Dumont rather than Independent long after the network shut down.

Including Ring Lardner, Jr!
According to Wikipedia, this show had a fairly unique ping-pong broadcast history...
- Produced by ITC Entertainment, Lew Grade's production company, after being enticed by an
American distributor and a producer who was really (it would appear) trying to get blacklisted
writers some work.
- Premiered on ATV London on September 25, 1955 (a Sunday; ATV London only broadcast on
weekends, with Associated-Rediffusion taking over on weekdays.)
- Premiered on CBS in the US the next day.
- Premiered on ATV Midlands a few months later, in February 1956.

It's a little complicated, but the "Today" show aired live 7-9 AM in
the Eastern time zone. The Central time zone got the second hour
(8-9 ET/7-8 CT) live, then the first Eastern hour aired on tape (or\
was recreated before the advent of tape) as the second Central hour.
Thus, NBC's East Coast affiliates had 9-10 for themselves; the Central
time zone would go straight into the show airing at 10 (ET).
That night on "Twenty-One" a new contestant played the current champion,
Hank Bloomgarden, to a 21-21 tie before defeating him. That man, according to
New York assistant DA Joe Stone, clinched the idea that the show was
rigged. Harold Craig, a dairy farmer from Hebron, NY, who won $106,000,
gave an interview to Life magazine in September in which he said that the
producers had ways of getng rid of contestants they no longer wanted.
Rather than subpoena him, given the distance from New York City, Stone
called Craig and asked him to come down and tell him what he knew. At
first a couple of assistant DAs harassed Craig to the point of tears (literally)
before Stone called them off. Craig said, "I can't lie. I just can't lie." After being
allowed to use the men's room to square himself away, he told Stone everything,
and everything meshed with what Herb Stempel and James Snodgrass had already
told Stone about the show. What made Craig more credible, Stone said years later,
was just who he was; he had no beef with Dan Enright (as Stempel did), nor did he
have some unknown reason to blow the whistle (as Snodgrass did); he was a just a
decent guy whose conscience got the better of him. (BTW, last I heard, Craig was
still living in Hebron; he's now in his 80s and apparently living a quiet life.)
that was the last season both the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants would call the New
York City Area home. How WOR-TV 9 managed to fill the gaps in their schedule when both teams
left for LA & San Francisco after the season.
For the 1958 season, one of the New York City stations picked up the games of the Philadelphia
Phillies. That did provide some National League baseball to viewers. Not sure if that was WOR,
Channel 9 or not. Maybe someone could advise.
The Phils at the time were the doormats of the league; perpetual cellar dwellers. Watching them
get whupped time after time probably did not do much to appease fans betrayed by the Dodgers
and Giants.
Mayor Wagner wimped out and did not move aggressively to stop the move. He should have
used eminent domain to confiscate the franchises. Then had accountants go through financial
records to find some basis for prosecuting Walter O'Malley (like the feds did with Al Capone).

Retro: This Week in TV Guide, June 22, 1968 - MSP Edition
It's two weeks after the assassination of RFK, and the debate is on as to television's responsibility
for the violence sweeping the country. The networks respond with promises to end gratuitous
violence. How'd that work? In addition, there's Sullivan vs. The Palace, summer replacement
series, summer college football, and William Shatner waxing philosophic. All that and more in
this week's review.
http://www.itsabouttv.com/2013/06/th...e-22-1968.html
And now the listings for Saturday, June 22. Note how Saturday morning cartoons are almost
entirely superhero-oriented - and not very good at that. It's a source of controversy that we'll be
looking at in a future piece. As was customary for the time, KTCA Channel 2, the NET station, did
not broadcast on Saturdays.

I'm guessing the 1pm Wrestling on Ch. 9 (now WNYW 2.0) aired either WWE or the NWA and all
I know ch. 11 was the NYC-area home of G.L.O.W.
WWOR-TV (you forgot the extra W added in '87) aired WWF Wrestling Spotlight around this
time. WWF's other two series were Superstars of Wrestling and Wrestling Challenge and they
aired on WNYW, respectively on Saturday and Sunday mornings. And apparently the NWA didn't
have a New York City clearance at this point, though their TV show was on WPIX for a while in
the late '80s. But the noon show on channel 11 was indeed Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.
One other thing:
WNYW 5
3:00- Motown returns to the Apollo
I'm wondering if this is the 1983 special Motown 25: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow?

Back in the 1970s, there were three cable television systems (All-American, Coaxial, and
Warner) operating in Columbus, Ohio. You were served by one of the three cable television
systems depending on which side of Columbus you lived in.
All three Columbus cable systems had a special network channel on cable channel 3 which
carried network shows pre-empted by the Columbus television stations.
The special network channel picked up the pre-empted network television shows from other
television stations in Ohio.
I remember the following stations that were carried on the special network channel during
network pre-emptions:
ABC Network: WEWS Channel 5 Cleveland, WKEF Channel 22 Dayton, and WAKR Channel 23
Akron
CBS Network: WHIO Channel 7 Dayton, WJW Channel 8 Cleveland, and WTOL Channel 11 Toledo
NBC Network: WKYC Channel 3 Cleveland, WSPD Channel 13 Toledo, and WHIZ Channel 18
Zanesville
Two of the Columbus cable systems (All-American & Coaxial) had a second special network
channel (channel 12) on their cable systems in case there were two Columbus television stations
pre-empting network television shows at the same time. The second special network channel
wasnt listed in TV Guide, but was listed in the Columbus Dispatch.
When the special network channels wasnt carrying any network pre-empted shows, it would
carry syndicated television shows or movies that were available from the other stations or carry
program guide listings of channels on the cable system.

Re: Retro: Central Ohio Sunday, June 18, 1978
I find it somewhat interesting that both WXIX-19 (at 4:00) and WUAB-43 (at 3:00) both ran
"Papa's Delicate Condition" with Jackie Gleason. In checking further, I found that June 18 was
Father's Day in 1978, which makes sense for the choice of film..

TV GUIDE - ST. LOUIS EDITION
Hi -
I'm a collector of TV Guides, and just to make it extra hard on myself, I've attempted to collect all
of one particular regional edition (St. Louis, MO). I have been fortunate to collect most of what I
have been looking for (1970s & 1980s) however I have a bit of a gap left to fill and wondering if
anyone can help. I'm looking for 37 issues from 1980 (I can advise dates if you think you might be
able to help) and 1 issue (May 16) from 1981. Does anyone happen to have any of these? For
weeks where I am missing the STL edition, I do have mint-copy issues of the Los Angeles metro
edition that I could trade and/or would be willing to buy them or trade the corresponding LA
issue + cash. I also have quite a few extra issues (some LA, some STL) if that's of interest.
If anyone might be able to help or might have some leads on where to find these, please PM me.
Thanks!

Re: TV GUIDE - ST. LOUIS EDITION
Hi - just thought I would bump this as I've narrowed it down to now 6 St. Louis edition TV Guides
i'm looking for - if anyone happens to have these, I'd be willing to pay reasonably exorbitant
prices for them:
5/3/80 -Mork & Mindy

6/28/80 - Trapper John MD
7/12/80 - Dukes of Hazzard
8/9/80 -Children's Television
8/23/80 - Genie Francis
5/16/81 - Hart to Hart
Anyone have them? Please PM me if you do or if you have a St. Louis edition TV Guide collection.
Thanks!

So which network would have WSVA taken for JFK coverage? How about WHIS?

Re: Retro: Central Virginia Saturday, November 23, 1963
I have a strong feeling it would have been NBC, since both
carried Huntley-Brinkley at the time. WHIS (now WVVA) is

still an NBC affiliate and carries Brian Williams; WSVA (now
WHSV) is an ABC affiliate and has been carrying ABC's newscast
since 1968.
That. of course, means that both stations would have shown
Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald live on Sunday, as NBC
was the only network that had it live.

Ch. 13 in Oklahoma City is KETA. KWET is Ch. 12 in Cheyenne, OK, also run by OETA.

Right. I shouldn't have goofed like that, considering
that KETA and Dallas's KERA not only have similar calls,
they are both PBS affiliates on analog 13, and I was
living in Dallas at the time. I think I was looking at KWTV
and KETA where the channels were listed. Channel 12 in
Cheyenne, OK, was added later; I'll try to put up some schedules
from the early '80s ASAP, which include KWET.
OETA is probably best-known today as the distributor of "The

Lawrence Welk Show" to PBS stations.

Assuming the future gun-toting Cowboys coach didn't do a daily show, what programs did 4/8
regular air in their respective time slots?

AFAIK, this was the regularly-scheduled program.

I should add that KTUL simply aired "Star Trek" at 11 PM
instead of its normal 10:30; KFOR, like most stations at
the time, did not "strip" 6:30 (carry the same show five
nights a week), as that was a practice that did not become
the rule rather than the exception until around 1980. So
Barry Switzer wasn't on every day; I wonder if even the most
rabid OU fan could have handled that.

You wouldn't happen to have a schedule from later in the fall of '77, would you?

On KTVT - What was Slam Bang Theatre? Comedy Capers? MY GUESS - Both shows featured
Bugs Bunny, Popeye, and other pre 48 Warner Brothers Cartoons along with Three Stooges
shorts maybe on Comedy Capers or Slam Bang Theatre. Anyone from down there that could
enlighten us on what vthe difference between these twp shows were.

Did KWTV preempt TPIR at 9:30 during the fall or was this a carryover from summer?

Slam Bang Theatre was an institution in Dallas-Ft. Worth. It was Three Stooges shorts
interspersed with comedy skits.

What then was Comedy Capers? About Little Rascals - I do not believe KTVT had Little Rascals -
at least not after 1972. CBN's 39 KXTX had Little Rascals in the 70's and into the 80's. But what
were Comedy Capers? My guess another cartoon show of some sort with a mix of cartoons

Re: Retro: Iowa Sun, June 10, 1956
I recently quoted Bill Bryson's book about growing up in Iowa, but that post (and thread) got lost
when the forum had technical problems last week. However, the passage -- from Bryson's The
Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid -- is just as relevant in this thread, as it takes place in the
mid-1950s, so I'll reuse it here:
"My grandparents could get seven stations on their set -- we could only get three in Des Moines
-- but only by turning the roof aerial, which was manipulated by means of a crank on the outside
back wall of the house. So if you wanted to watch, say, KTVO from Ottumwa, my grandfather had
to go out and turn the crank slightly one way, and if you wanted WOC from the Quad Cities he
turned it another, and KWWI in Waterloo another way still, in each case responding to
instruction shouted through a window. If it was windy or there was a lot of solar activity, he
sometimes had to go ought eight or nine times during a program. If it was one of my
grandmother's treasured shows, like As the World Turns or Queen for a Day, he generally just
stayed out there in case an airplane flew over and made everything lapse into distressing
waviness at a critical moment. He was the most patient man who ever lived."

Interesting how many stations are on the air by 1956, even UHF ones in two small cities,
Rockford and Fort Dodge. I guess we should also group the stations into approximate markets:
Des Moines/Ames
5 WOI Educ./ABC (That's an interesting story, a university running educational programs in the
day and ABC at night.)
8 KRNT CBS
13 WHO NBC
Quad Cities
4 WHBF CBS/ABC
6 WOC NBC/ABC
Cedar Rapids/Waterloo
2 WMT CBS
7 KWWL NBC
9 KCRG ABC
Mason City/Rockford (About 20 miles apart, but I guess far enough away for two CBS affiliates?)
3 KGLO CBS
13 WREX CBS/ABC
39 WTVO NBC
Odd to see so many W call letters in a state west of the Mississippi. But I guess it was the oldest
radio stations that had the money and personnel to put a TV station on the air. And those
stations pre-dated the Mississippi divide, so they had W call signs.
And even by 1956 there were enough off-network series to syndicate. Notice the shows before
the networks start Sunday night programming at 6 or 6:30pm? Badge 714, Life of Riley, Lassie,
Roy Rogers, Superman, Count of Monte Cristo, Long John Silver, Kit Carson and Frontier. The
listing for Topper says Series Return. But would a prime time network show run at 5pm CT? Or
did they mean it had just gone into syndication after being cancelled?

Actually the Rockford stations (WREX and WTVO) are Rockford, Illinois stations. Perhaps the Iowa
edition of TVG was distributed in northwestern Illinois at the time? (e.g., Sterling/Rock Falls,
Savanna, Galena, Freeport, Dixon, etc.).

I thought Iowa was "Chicago Cubs country", but while many of their games were being televised
locally in Chicago (I believe WGN-9 was doing them as far back as 1956), it appears that there
was as yet no regional syndication of games.
NBC's broadcast of the PGA Palm Beach Open was interesting, as I think there had only been
four or five live network television broadcasts of golf tournaments prior to that one.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the first network telecast of a golf tournament was one near
Chicago in 1953, followed by the 1954 and 1955 U.S. Opens (I think the 1956 Open was a week
or two after the date of these listings) and the 1956 Masters.

WGN-TV has broadcast Cub games since Day One in April 1948. They've also carried the White
Sox from 1948 through 1967, 1981, and since 1990.
KWWL-TV/7 Waterloo carried Minnesota Twins games in the mid '60s when I lived there. The
games also aired on WHO radio in Des Moines at the time - probably the only team in MLB who
was broadcast on two 50,000 watt AM stations at the same time, along with WCCO Minneapolis.

NBC aired reruns of "Topper" on Sundays at 7 PM (EDT) in
the summer of 1956. Since Iowa appears to have been on
Central Standard Time (two hours earlier), those stations
airing it at 5 were carrying the live network feed.

I'm a little surprised to find few clearances on CBS stations
for "Lassie" and "Private Secretary."

I don't think that's too odd. Looking at older TV Guides, I don't see a lot of Yankees coverage in
upstate NY. Or Boston Red Sox coverage in Maine or Connecticut. I can think of two reasons why.
Starting a regional network was probably expensive. And there were few Independent stations
outside the major cities. Would a network affiliate give up the network shows to run baseball
games?
Even in the 80s, before Syracuse had any independent stations, their NBC affiliate only ran
Yankees games on weekends. That was one incentive to get cable in the early days, so you could
get the NYC independent stations and see all the games for the Yankees, Mets, Knicks, Rangers,
etc.
(BTW, I can think of a few cases where two 50,000 watt AM stations were running a baseball
team's games. I'm pretty sure WTIC Hartford has long carried the Red Sox, in addition to
whatever 50,000 watt station in Boston was the flagship. And 1540 WPTR Albany carried the
Mets, in addition to their NYC flagship. Probably one of Sacramento's two 50,000 watt stations,
KFBK or KHTK, carried the Giants, in addition to KNBR.)

Dumont covered the tournament at Tam O'Shanter you were thinking of as early as 1948. It was
a two-weekend affair, the All-American Open followed by the World Championship of Golf, and
Dumont picked up the final hour of the latter on a Sunday. NBC covered the 1949 (Medinah) and
1950 (Merion) U.S. Opens on television as well as radio, then skipped three years of TV before
resuming U.S. Open television coverage in 1954.
By the way, the Palm Beach Open wasn't from Florida, but from Long Island. CBS covered it as
early as 1951, the network's first foray into golf telecasts.

And there were few Independent stations outside the major cities. Would a network
affiliate give up the network shows to run baseball games?
Another reason was technical.
In the early days of TV, a flagship station for a pro sports team (whether baseball, football,
hockey or basketball) was probably only able to feed games to other cities in their region if the
affiliate station could pick-up the flagship station's signal off-air or if one affiliate could pick-up
another affiliate's signal off-air. This was because there were so few microwave relay circuits
between cities and often, they had to be used for network programs (this is a reason why until
the mid-to-late 1950's, locally-produced live telecasts of away games in MLB, the NHL, and the
NBA were extremely rare).
For quite a few years after it went on the air in 1949, Providence's WJAR-10 (originally on
Channel 11) carried most of the televised games of the Boston Red Sox (and the Boston Braves
prior to their moving to Milwaukee in 1953), according to various old Boston Globe TV listings. I
suspect that WJAR picked-up the games off-air from WBZ-4 and WNAC-7 (which until the mid
1950's shared flagship station status since the rights were held by the Narragansett Brewing
Company, which apparently didn't want to show favoritism to either station in the early days of
TV, so WBZ and WNAC each got half the games). The Sox went exclusively with WBZ from 1955
through 1957, then to the old WHDH-5 (it's sister station, the old WHDH-850, had long been the
Red Sox radio flagship) beginning in 1958.
It's possible that WNHC (now WTNH-8) in New Haven may have been able to pick-up New York
baseball telecasts off-air for local rebroadcast, but as I don't at this moment have access to old
New Haven newspaper TV listings, I can't verify that. But it's possible.

50,000 Watts Of Baseball (Was: Re: Retro: Iowa Sun, June 10, 1956)

A couple of years back, 50,000 watt WEEI-850 moved it's (mostly) local sports format to FM,
including the Red Sox (Today, 850 in Boston carries ESPN Radio 24/7). However, the Red Sox still
have two 50,000-watt AM stations on their network: WTIC-1080 (as noted above) and
Worcester's WCRN-830 which is a 50,000-watt station with a directional signal beamed towards
Boston.
Especially at night, I don't think you can hear WCRN west of the Connecticut River, but you can
hear a strong signal from it day and night in Eastern New England, and with a good enough AM
radio, perhaps in western Nova Scotia during the day as well. At night, the signal is likely quite
strong across all of the Maritimes, and reaches out far into the Atlantic Ocean.

affiliate station could pick-up the flagship station's signal off-air or if one affiliate could pick-up
another affiliate's signal off-air.
In the 1960s, 7/KWWL in Waterloo did run the Twins on Sunday afternoons. They picked up an
over-the-air signal from 10/KROC in Rochester,which in turn picked it up from the Minneapolis
flagship. Quality wasn't the best, and when they games went to color, KWWL had to drop them
because they couldn't pick up a reliable color signal.
The Cubs Sunday afternoon games came later in the 60s. 9/KCRG Cedar Rapids, 8/WQAD Moline,
and some other ABC affiliates (Rockford?, Peoria?) got together and had the microwave ABC
relay coming out of Chicago switched over to the Cubs network on Sunday afternoon for the
games. Of course, they lost their ABC feed while the game was on.

IIRC, The Cubs network included 17/WTVO Rockford (which had switched from ch 39),
31/WMBD Peoria, and for a time 12/WISN Milwaukee, and 8/ WKBT, La Crosse. I think there
were a couple of others in Indiana. They were also on Des Moines. WMBD and WKBT were
definitely CBS. WTVO flipped networks, but I think was NBC in those days. WISN also changed
affiliations, but I think was CBS at the time. The full network was usually up and running on
Sundays....with a few night games also picked up by some of the network affilliates. WQAD
among them.

WTVO was NBC until it was swapped networks with WREX in 1995, taking ABC. WTVO was the
Rockford Cubs outlet for decades until the Cubbies moved to WIFR (CBS) starting in the 1988
season. WREX for many years, up until the launch of then-independent WQRF in 1978, carried
the White Sox games, and I believe even WIFR had some Brewers games until WQRF started
carrying them in the 80s (at one point, WQRF had the White Sox, Brewers, and St. Louis
Cardinals on their air in their pre-Fox days).

And another irony--IIRC the early years of the Iowa edition would be the only TVG edition which
carried both Quad Cities and Rockford stations in a single edition (in later years the IL-WI edition
was the home edition for Rockford channels, while QC's remained in the Iowa edition as well as
Western Illinois). Especially considering that to this day Comcast in Sterling and Dixon carries
both QC and Rockford channels on their lineups for those cities (as does Mediacom with some of
the lineups in some smaller communities in Carroll and JoDaviess counties.
Does anyone know about where TVG drew the "line" between the distribution of the Western
Illinois and IL-WI editions (i.e., which edition would have been distributed in far northwestern
Illinois which received both QC and Rockford channels by antenna and/or cable)?
I'm also surprised that Quad Cities channels were never listed in the old Illinois-Wisconsin
edition of TVG too, AFAIK.
BTW--I even remember seeing the "Western Illinois" edition of TVG distributed in a gas station
check-out line in far northeast Missouri one time in the late '80s (while my family was traveling
in that area). Although it's the subject of another thread that I posted some time back--so many
things about old TVG edition lineups and geography always had me scratching my head
(although it wasn't intended to be perfect for all circumstances)--e.g., the "Missouri" edition not
listing any channels licensed north of Columbia including KC and St. Louis, the "Iowa edition"
essentially a "Central/Eastern Iowa" edition with western IA and South Dakota channels listed in
the "Nebraska edition" (while for a time Omaha had their own local edition).

Another cut-and-paste job here, man. Look, we all love retro listings here. A good olde-tyme
listing is like traipsing through a sprinkler on a muggy summer's day. But if you're going to steal
other people's work, why not try to add your own touches or opinions?
Also, you might want to wait slightly more than eight hours before you do steal their work. At
least wait until your original thread has been pushed to page two and the rest of us have long
since forgotten which retro request threads we were ignoring in the first place.
By the way, thank you cool_guy81 for drawing up these listings in the first place.
Well, I made the titles longer, because from cool_guy81's source, it used a grid format.
