Jackson had a long-running midday show on KABC-AM for more than thirty years,
including during the time period of these listings. His chief competitor in his latter years
at KABC radio was Rush Limbaugh at KFI.

Re: RETRO: AMARILLO, TEXAS. TUESDAY, SEPT. 2ND, 1997
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, ATeam, 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 WBZChannel 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.

Re: Retro: Boston - Sunday, September 29, 1969

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.

Would you mind taking note of what programs on these and the other affiliates were

"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.

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 coproducer. Later on, it moved to after Dave, when it was already cancelled.

It's too bad no cable system outside Orlando pulled a "WKID" and showed WFTV latenights 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.

A rare independent (pre-Fox!) station showing "Wheel" and "Jeopardy!"

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.

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).

Re: Retro: Boston - Sunday, February 28, 1960
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.

Re: Retro: Boston - Sunday, February 28, 1960

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.

Re: Retro: Carolina-Tennessee Saturday, September 11, 1971

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 WENH11 (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 weekdaysonly 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).

I believe Rev. Wilkinson's book was probably "The Cross and the Switchblade", which
was made into a film a year earlier, which starred Pat Boone and a young Erik Estrada.

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?

Yes - that almost seems like a mis-print. IIRC, in 61, many network O&Os and affiliates
only did 15 minutes of news at 11:00, but nothing at all? Seems wrong to me, too. I
recall that San 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 lowbudget 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...

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.

Re: Retro: Northern California Mon, Apr 3, 1960

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 getting it on delay?

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.)

...Hollywood a Go Go was Sam Riddle's KHJ-TV/9 Los Angeles rock 'n roll music show
Ninth Street West repackaged for syndication; KHJ-TV and CKLW-TV were both owned
by RKO General at the time. And as for Windsor Wrestling, would that have been Ed
"The Sheik" Farhat's Detroit/Toronto NWA franchise promotion, or perhaps a Canadianbased independent outfit?...

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, 1965March 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.

yes, WDIV was one of the stations that had a local "Bowling For Dollars" show.

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!

Re: Retro: Detroit/Toledo Thurs, Nov 25, 1965
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.

Re: Retro: Michigan Mon, Apr 8, 1968

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 allsports (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.

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 threeissue 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.

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.

"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.

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.

How many stations cleared "Brothers" when it went into syndication? Apparently not
many -- I believe WGBS Philadelphia was another station that carried the show.

For that reason, I also don't see any listings for PBS stations in the region -- WDCN,
WCTE Cookesville or WKGB (KET) & WKYU Bowling Green.

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...

As always your comments, both positive and negative, are welcome.

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.

Re: Retro: This Week In TV Guide, April 4, 1970 - MSP Edition

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.

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.

Re: Retro: This Week In TV Guide, April 4, 1970 - MSP Edition
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.

Re: Retro: This Week In TV Guide, April 4, 1970 - MSP Edition
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.

Re: Retro: West Virginia Saturday, October 14, 1972
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.

1 PM Baseball: Rangers-Tigers (why two stations in Oklahoma
City carried this game is beyond me)
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).

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?

KOCO 5 Alive Oklahoma City (ABC)
10:30 Ho Ho Show

No comment. :-X
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:

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

Was this a nightly program or a one-time special?
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.

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.

No daytime Feud to be found in Denver, however..

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?

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.

10:30 After Benny, Thames Presents (featuring Bernard Cribbins)

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?

KGCT (now KMYT) ran a subscription TV service, "IT TV" (presumably the same service
that was on WIHT in Ann Arbor) at that time. The service ran until 1984, with KGCT
closing down the following year, when they could not afford to rebuild their transmitter
after an ice storm. They returned to air under different owners in 1991, then as KTFO.

KAUT ran VUE at this time, up until 1983. The station had better fortunes than KGCT,
save for a seven year period in the 1990s when it was a secondary PBS station under
OETA.

Re: Retro: Oklahoma Thursday, September 17, 1981
According to an earlier post showing Oklahoma listings for September 16, 1980, only the
syndicated Family Feud was carried in OKC on KWTV 9 at 6:30 p.m. The ABC daytime
Feud was preempted by KOCO 5 once ABC moved it to 11 a.m. in June 1980. The
September 1981 listings now show no station in OKC carrying either ABC daytime or
syndicated nighttime Feud. Was the original Feud ever seen again in OKC from this
point forward? (Aside from the occasional ABC primetime specials, unless KOCO
preempted them as well)

Re: Retro: Oklahoma Thursday, September 17, 1981

TV Guide did include the stations after their switch to STV...But as the name of the
Subscription TV service the channel has. Like in New York City Channel 68 WWHT used
the service WHT. During WHT hours listings would show STV shows and movies on
WHT not channel 68. I assume the same thing with 41 Tulsa and 43 Oklahoma City.
Channel 41 running sitcoms from Viacom??? and other cash programming?? Unusual
for them. I recall Channel 41 by 1983 running an all barter lineup. And I believe they
went dark late in the 80's. They went back on in 1991 with once again an all barter
lineup. They paid no money for any shows they aired from when they came back on in
1991 till they were part of an LMA with channel 32 in 1994. Channel 41 had been a very
low budget operation.

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.

Re: Retro: Hartford/Springfield Sat, Apr 13, 1968
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.

Retro: Carolina-Tennesse TV Guide Thurs. Feb. 2, 1961
Carolina-Tennessee TV Guide - Thurs. Feb. 2, 1961

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.

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.

Merv produced "Let's Play Post Office," but Don Morrow was the host.
Merv may have been filling in for him that week.

It's possible that Peter Jennings may have been on vacation or an out-of-town
assignment that week, so Bob Young filled-in.

Merv produced "Let's Play Post Office," but Don Morrow was the host.
Merv may have been filling in for him that week.

It's possible that Peter Jennings may have been on vacation or an out-of-town
assignment that week, so Bob Young filled-in.

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.

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 schedule on weekends.

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.

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 schedule on weekends.
Probably too expensive to fly the tapes over from LA. Satellites were used only for live
events (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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

WSVN 7 in Miami has been Fox since 1/1/1989, but somehow I can't shake off that NBC
affiliation! Other channels have switched here, and it's also difficult to fathom; but ch 7

sticks out like a sore thumb more'n the others!

I know the feeling! It's going on nearly 20 (!!!) years that in Philly, KYW-3 is CBS and
WCAU-10 is NBC..Still seems odd!

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..

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

KTSP [Now KSAZ] Channel 10 (CBS, Now Fox) Phoenix
6:30 The Morning Program (Rolland Smith/Hartley)
8:00 Value Television
9:00 The $25,000 Pyramid

A CBS affiliate in a major market airing home shopping programming in a prime daytime
hour? Are you kidding me?

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

KTVK Channel 3 (ABC, Now Ind.) Phoenix
9:30 The Judge

Dynasty at 10 a.m. for a half-hour? Are you kidding me?
The syndicator offered "Dynasty" as a half-hour or hour-long program. When WTOG
carried the show, it was the full hour.

Splitting 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.

Re: Retro: Phoenix, AZ April 13th, 1987
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.

notice that Meredith is not huge on movies - On other Meredith indies back then like
WPGH Pittsburgh and 35 WOFL Orlando - drama shows and sitcoms ran in prime time.
Meredith was huge on sitcoms and had top rate product back then. They did take Fox in
Pittsburgh and Orlando as well as their Las Vegas station but not here for some reason.

up with Fox

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.

Good grief, weren't there any police chases to put on the air that week?

Well, KTLA-5 already had their first "Telecopter", so they could have, but probably didn't.

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.

Re: Retro: Hollywood/San Diego/Santa Barbara, Thursday, February 8, 1961
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...

Quote Originally Posted by Joseph_Gallant

...look again, JG. KABC-TV/7 ran the ABC rerun of The Lone Ranger...

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.
...6258 Selma Avenue was, I believe, an annex to the Sunset and Vine NBC Radio City
studios. KRCA didn't move to the Burbank Color City facility (and the KNBC call sign)
until November 1962; there's now a Chase Bank on the old Radio City site...''

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.

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).

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 getting 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 intime for the station to pick-up "SNL" from the start??

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.

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.

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.

I believe WTOL channel 11 carried the Tigers.

This wasn't a Beatles infomercial, was it?

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
http://vintagetoledotv.squarespace.c...nt-ads/2250289..

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...?

Re: Retro: Michigan Sat, Apr 16, 1977
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.

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 don’t 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 I’m 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 can’t 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. Anyway…
here is the last week of Boston’s WHDH, channel 5, CBS affiliate.

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.

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.

I believe this was Friday's "CBS Late Movie", which was delayed to here so that WHDH
could show a local film.

And alas, the only time this series was shown on WHDH.

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&#160; &#160;&#160;"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.

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.

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.

Re: Retro: Boston - WHDH Channel 5's last week on the air (March 11-17, 1972)
Here's WNAC's weekday daytime (6a-7p) schedule at the time:

6:20a Farm and Market Report
6:25a Understanding Our World
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
1:00p News, Sports, Weather
1:30p Let’s Make a Deal
2:00p The Newlywed Game
2:30p The Dating Game
3:00p General Hospital
3:30p One Life to Live
4:00p Mayberry R.F.D.
4:30p Merv Griffin (90 minutes)
6:00p News, Sports, Weather

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.

Re: Retro: Boston - WHDH Channel 5's last week on the air (March 11-17, 1972)

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.

Re: Retro: Boston - WHDH Channel 5's last week on the air (March 11-17, 1972)

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.

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.

Re: Retro: Atlanta Tuesday, June 20, 1993
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.

http://www.itsabouttv.com/2013/04/th...l-21-1973.html

As always your comments, positive as well as negative, are welcome.

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.

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.

According to Wikipedia (take with grain of salt), WNIN signed on in March 1970:

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.

Seals & Crofts, Chuck Berry, Billy Preston, Johnny Rivers, Junior Walker, Marvin

...rather infamously, the performance of "Roll Over Beethoven" came to an abrupt and
premature end when Chuck Berry took a wild swing around and accidentially struck Doc
Severinsen in the eye with the head of his guitar...

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.

Retro: Philadelphia Fri, May 4, 1973
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.

Re: Retro: Philadelphia Fri, May 4, 1973
Marine Boy on WTAF was not accurate. That was only on Channel 17. I believe 29 had
The Three Stooges for an hour with some Bugs Bunny cartoons mixed in. Other than
that - sounds close to my memories. Thanks

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.

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 WPVI-6.

Oops :-[ Didn't notice that when I proofread it. IIRC, KYW was where the show was done
out of?

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.

Re: Retro: Susquehanna Valley Thurs, July 13, 1978
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.

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".

Re: Retro: Philadelphia Sat, Apr 28, 1973
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

Re: Retro: Philadelphia Sat, Apr 28, 1973
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.

Re: Retro: Philadelphia Sat, Apr 28, 1973
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.

Re: Retro: Philadelphia Sat, Apr 28, 1973

Interesting to see how the networks programmed Saturday night, which today is a throwaway 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 putting 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 counterprogram 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 allnight news.

Re: Retro: Central Florida Friday, April 27, 1973
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.

Re: Retro: Central Florida Friday, April 27, 1973
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.

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.

Re: Retro: Northern & Central Alberta Fri, May 2, 1980
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.

From the very start of the listings post:

Spokane channels listed MT

That answers your question. A dead giveaway is the late news airing at midnight.

By the way... I believe NBC was airing "The Towering Inferno" on this night... :

They were indeed...somehow that got mangled when correcting a spelling mistake due
to fingers going before brain went in gear

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?

Re: Retro: Albany, NY (3/30/87)
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 readding it when WMHT sold it in 1999.

This was the first day WRGB began the ill-fated experiment of airing movies from 3:005:00 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).

Re: Retro: Hartford/Springfield Mon, Oct 3, 1988
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 nighttime 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).

Also, what did Channel 6 air at 4 PM? (Unless "Highway To Heaven" was 90 minutes...)

By the way, I'm sure Channel 4 cleared "The Tonight Show"...

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 RoyalsRangers, 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.

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.

Re: Retro: Montreal Mon, Apr 24, 1978
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).

Re: Retro: Montreal Mon, Apr 24, 1978

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.

Montreal cable kept WMTW for years fearing ch 22 in Vermont would go dark

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!

http://www.itsabouttv.com/2013/04/th...l-27-1957.html

As always your comments, positive as well as negative, are welcome.

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, 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. http://www.history.com/news/8-things...ht-saving-time

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

As always your comments, positive as well as negative, are welcome.

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.

Re: Retro: This Week in TV Guide, May 3, 1958 - MSP Edition

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.

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay - October 13, 1975 - Sunday
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.

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay - October 13, 1975 - Sunday
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.

Re: Retro: Denver - Saturday, June 18, 1966

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.

...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.

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.

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.

Did the Northern Indiana TV Guide list WLIO-35 as central time? It would seem that
prime time in Ohio would go 7:30-8:30-9-10 rather than 6:30-7:30-8-9..

Nope, though some of WANE's ads gave times as for example "7pm/8pm Ohio"...

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.

With all due respect, the man's name is Jerry Falwell. :-X

40 WXLT (ABC) Calkins Media (did this act as the ABC station for Ft Meyers/Naples??)
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.

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay Area Commercial Stations - Sunday October 3, 1976
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)...

Re: Retro: Washington, D.C./Baltimore/Richmond Monday May 9th, 1988
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.

Retro: Boston - Monday, September 27, 1965
Source – Boston Globe, Monday, September 27, 1965

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).

Re: Retro: Boston - Monday, September 27, 1965
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.

Re: Retro: Boston - Monday, September 27, 1965
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.

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 BBC1 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 day’s
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.

Re: Retro: Boston - WIHS Ch. 38 debut week
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.

Re: Retro: Boston - WIHS Ch. 38 debut week
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.

Re: Retro: Boston - WIHS Ch. 38 debut week
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.

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.

I take it that they took a page out of WOR-TV's playbook and scheduled the same film
each weeknight.

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, sitting 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.

Retro: CBFT Montreal sample schedules, 1973-1982
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 preempted 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."

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.

Re: Retro: Boston - Monday, April 1, 1963
"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 Sundayafternoon 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.

Re: Retro: Boston - Monday, April 1, 1963
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?

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay Commercial Stations - October 18, 1975 - Saturday
8 WFLA
6 AM LAUREL & HARDY LAUGH TOONS
7 AM BANANA SPLITS (okay make that an hour - typo on my part)
8-4 PM The Same
Nothing is indicated in the 4 to 6 PM Time Slot for Channel 8 - NBC SPORTS of some
form is MY GUESS
6 PM NEWS
6:30 NBC NEWS
7 PM-on - THE SAME

So they ran the Banana Splits an hour.

10 WLCY
Same before 5 PM
5 PM ABC WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS (YES IT ran till 6:30 PM)
6:30 ABC NEWS
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

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay Commercial Stations - October 18, 1975 - Saturday
8 WFLA

"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.

And it would be the Carlton Fisk game (i.e., 12th inning game-winning home run for the
BoSox).

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay Commercial Stations - October 18, 1975 - Saturday

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.

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:

It was a Depatie-Freleng production.

The OSB had the similar schedule as the Times, though they had Kathryn Kuhlman at
7:30AM.

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.

that night, "Angel in My Pocket".

"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.
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:

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay Commercial Stations - October 18, 1975 - Saturday
What did NBC air in place of the rained-out World Series game?

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").

Re: Retro - Tampa Bay Commercial Stations - Saturday October 3, 1976
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 does not carry archives for Southwest Florida papers or The Miami
Herald (which had Fort Myers listings through the 1980s).

Re: Retro - Tampa Bay Commercial Stations - Saturday October 3, 1976

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.

Re: Retro: Tampa/St Petersburg - Commercial stations - Sunday 10/23/77
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.

Re: Retro: Tampa/St Petersburg - Commercial stations - Sunday 10/23/77
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.

Re: Retro: Tampa/St Petersburg - Commercial stations - Sunday 10/23/77
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.

Re: Retro: Tampa/St Petersburg - Commercial stations - Sunday 10/23/77
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 nextto-last week of the that season, finally getting 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).

The Bucs didn't have a home blackout lifted until 10/1/78 vs. Minnesota

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.

Here's the listings...

I remember WCGV's first day on the air. It went off the air AT 7PM. SelecTV wasn't on
the air until that Summer.

I wasn't sure if SelecTV went on the air yet, but thanks for the correction.

...I'd moved briefly from Oshkosh to Milwaukee the previous week; I can confirm that
WCGV/24 did indeed sign off the air at 7:00, and in fact did so after the Saturday and
Sunday 6:00 screenings of AWA All-Star Wrestling too...

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.

Re: Retro: Milwaukee (3/24/1980)
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...

Re: Retro: Milwaukee (3/24/1980)
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 signons 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.

Re: Retro: Tampa St Petersburgh - Commercial Stations - 10/29/1977 - Saturday
Here are the actual listings from the St. Petersburg Times, with fill-ins from the Ocala
Star-Banner. The Sarasota Herald Tribune had listings this day, but I think they provided
the listings for 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.

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.

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?"

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 sitting on the set reading wire copy with some
slides behind them.

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay, Saturday October 27, 1979
WFLA channel 8 (NBC)
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.

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay, Saturday October 27, 1979

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.

Re: Retro: Boston - Saturday, May 20, 1950
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.

Re: Retro: Boston - Saturday, May 20, 1950
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.

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 halfhour 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.

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
getting 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.

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..

Re: Retro: Philadelphia Wed, May 23, 1962

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:
splitting "Happy Days" and "Laverne & Shirley"; splitting "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.

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....

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.

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
1:30 As The World Turns
2:30 Guiding Light
3:30 One Day At A Time.

Basically got times and lengths mixed up - Mistakes happen

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...

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)
11AM: The Electric Company
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 macroand 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 getting
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.

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay - November 13-17, 1978 - Commercial Stations
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.

And please note your sources somewhere, preferably at the top, of

your posting.

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.)

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

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????
Hmmmm...good question. Maybe my info was wrong and the game was blacked out.

2 PM Baseball: Orioles-Tigers
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 premiere on NBC until the fall of 1983.

Pepe Le Pew)
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.

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...

7:30 Bay City Rollers
...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
* ch 2: CHCT in black, CKSA in white
* ch 6: CHAT in black, CKRD in white

A number of other stations did the SRC weekend thing as well: I've also seen it on O&Os
in Regina, Saskatoon and Toronto; plus affiliates in London and Wingham.

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.

Re: Retro: Boston - Monday, November 26, 1956
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 putting 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.

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.

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.

I take it Channel 13, WLW-I, wasn't on the air yet.
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.

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.

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.
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???

04:45p Record Shop Hop – Janice Harper, who’s popular record is “Bon Voyage”, guest
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.

Re: Retro: Boston - Saturday, June 7, 1958
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..

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).

KREM Ch. 2 (CBS)
5:25 Star Trek
5:55 Tom and Jerry
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 KGOTV, 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.

Re: Retro: Bay Area/Sacramento/Central Coast Fri, May 18, 1973
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:

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).

As for the Cards; they were hosting Washington.

...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!

Re: Retro: San Francisco, Tuesday, Oct. 20, 1953
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.

Re: Retro: San Francisco, Tuesday, Oct. 20, 1953

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.

"TV News" is no more. I believe it went out in the mid-late '90s.

I believe you're right, Stitch. As a matter of fact, I remember for a short period they had
editions distributed to South Central Indiana (in a Louisville/Lexington TV market edition)
and Southeast Indiana (Cincinnati/Dayton/Columbus).

I see 6 and 8 had dueling racing specials at 7 PM.

About a week later after these listings were made, WRTV (6) and WTHR (13) would
swap network affiliations; 6 to ABC, 13 to NBC.

Never knew about the other 2 editions...if anyone out there has a copy of one of those 2
editions, can they post a line-up of the channels listed?

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.

8AM: Scooby Doo
9AM: Fangface
9AM: Challenge of the Super Friends
10AM: Scooby's All-Starr Laff-a-Lympics
11:30AM: The New Pink Panther Show

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.

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay -- October 28, 1978

ABC had both schedules that season at some point. I remember Laff Olympics airing 911 AM most of the season but they did change that at some point.

Retro: Carolina-Tennessee Thursday, June 13, 1968
From TV Guide, Carolina-Tennessee Edition:

WSJK (WETP) Ch. 2 Knoxville (Sneedville, TN) (NET)

worked on the atomic bomb, discusses his theories on the
origin of the universe.)
8 PM Oneness Of The World

Turner Classic Movies would show this 1950 comedy with
Ronald Colman as a genius who goes on a quiz show and
intends to stay on until he wins enough money to buy the
soap-company sponsor and put it and the show out of business;
Vincent Price is hilarious as the head of the company, watching
his life's work go down the drain, in a manner of speaking.)

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 getting 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 primetime 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.

Re: Retro: Golden Horseshoe/Buffalo/Rochester Sat, June 14, 1958
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.

WKBW-Channel 7 back in the day.....Irv Weinstein with EyeWitness News, Commander
Tom Jolls with the Weather Outside and Rick Azar on sports. Big contributors to the
success of that station

Retro: Columbus, Ohio
Thursday June 14, 1973

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 day’s 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 didn’t 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 didn’t carry program listings of the Cleveland
independent stations at that time. I believe it wasn’t 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.

Retro: Norfolk/Virginia Beach - fall 1975 - Sunday November 2
Fall 1975 - From Newport News Daily Press

November 2
3 WTAR-TV (CBS) Landmark TV
SUNDAY
1 PM NFL FOOTBALL – Philadelphia Eagles At New York Giants (several other games
listed - regional coverage) (So do not hold me to these games)
4 PM NFL FOOTBALL – Dallas Cowboys At Washington Redskins? (was not indicated)

10 WAVY (NBC) LIN
SUNDAY
1 PM NFL FOOTBALL – Pittsburgh Steelers At Cincinnati Bengals
4 PM NFL FOOTBALL – New York Jets At Baltimore Colts
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)

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 Orlando ran this either.

"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.

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:

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
letting 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.

Within a year, M.A.L.N. got his/her wish when ESPN started-up.

order was 5, 4, 2, 11, 30, 9.

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.

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.

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay Commercial stations - Weekdays - October 13-17, 1975
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?

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay Commercial stations - Weekdays - October 13-17, 1975
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

10 WLCY (ABC) Rahall Communications

6-11 The Same
11 AM I DREAM OF JEANNIE-Comedy
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)
4:30 PERRY MASON-Drama
5:30 NEWS
6 PM ABC NEWS
6:30 WHAT'S MY LINE-Game
7 PM BOWLING FOR DOLLARS-Game
7:30 TO TELL THE TRUTH-Game
8 PM ON - the same

13 WTVT (CBS) Gaylord

5 AM - 10:30 THE SAME
10:30 PRICE IS RIGHT-Game
11 AM GAMBIT-Game
11:30 LOVE OF LIFE-Serial
12 NOON PULSE PLUS - did go till 1 PM
1 PM SEARCH FOR TOMORROW-Serial
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.

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:

Re: Retro: Tampa Bay Commercial stations - Weekdays - October 13-17, 1975

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.

Source: St. Louis Post-Dispatch Television Magazine

Same notes as that other post: Though I post the channels in the standard order (2-4-59-11-30); 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:

11 AM Tennessee Ernie Ford Show
11:30 Yours For A Song
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
3 PM Queen For A Day
3:30 Who Do You Trust?
4 PM American Bandstand
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.

Re: Retro: New York City Mon, June 24, 1957
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 pickingup Johnny in Cleveland for some months after NBC acquired the station.

Re: Retro: New York City Mon, June 24, 1957
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.

I love how they used to program cartoon and children's shows at 6pm and the like.

Re: Retro: New York City Mon, June 24, 1957

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 getting 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

As always your comments, positive as well as negative, are welcome.

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.

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:

Back in the 1970’s, 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 wasn’t listed in TV Guide, but was listed in the Columbus
Dispatch.

When the special network channels wasn’t 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..

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.

Re: Retro: Oklahoma Thursday, September 15, 1977
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.

KTVY (KFOR) Ch. 4 Oklahoma City (NBC)
6:30 Barry Switzer: OU Football

KTUL Ch. 8 Tulsa (ABC)
10:30 Barry Switzer

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.

Re: Retro: Oklahoma Thursday, September 15, 1977
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

Dude, you just cut-and-pasted the listings cool_guy81 posted for you in that other Iowa

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."

Re: Retro: Iowa Sun, June 10, 1956
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.).

Re: Retro: Iowa Sun, June 10, 1956
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.
We have to save the Earth! It's the only planet with football and beer.

Re: Retro: Iowa Sun, June 10, 1956
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.)

Open was a week or two after the date of these listings) and the 1956 Masters.
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.

I don't think that's too odd.&#160; Looking at older TV Guides, I don't see a lot of

major cities.&#160; 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.

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 thenindependent 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 IllinoisWisconsin 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 oldetyme 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.

Re: Retro: Boston - Monday July 4, 1966
I had thought that the old WHDH-5 has occasional broadcast Red Sox home games in
color as far back as 1960, and had done all the televised home games in color during
1966.

Also, I thought the "CBS Evening News" had been colorcast since January of that year.

Except for a segment on "Captain Kangaroo", "Dateline Boston", and the baseball
games, you'd hardly know it was July 4th. No special concerts of parades on TV.

Re: Retro: Boston - Monday July 4, 1966
WHDH started regular colorcasts from Fenway Park the following season. There may
have been a few games in color but it wasn't consistent.

CBS Evening News was in color - it's marked correctly on the WHDH listing but for some
reason I missed it on the WPRO listing.

The Boston Pops concert on the Esplinade didn't become a big event until the
Bicentennial, so I'm not surprised that it wasn't shown on TV.

The concert as we now know it didn't begin until 1974, and the final portion of the 1976

concert was broadcast as part of CBS's (and maybe ABC's and NBC's as well) coverage
of Bicentennial Day.

I believe that prior to 1974, the Pops did an outdoor matinee concert at the Hatch Shell
on July 4th.

Red Sox TV Network In The Sixties (Was: Re: Retro: Boston - Monday July 4, 1966)

If my memory serves me correct (I'm thinking back to an old list of Boston Red Sox TV
affiliates from a mid-1960's Sox yearbook I no longer have), only one CBS-TV affiliate in
New England (the old WTIC-3 Hartford) wasn't part of the Sox' TV set-up during this era
and that only three of the Red Sox affiliates weren't CBS stations.

As Maureen Carney pointed out earlier in this thread, the old WNHC-8 New Haven was
one; I think NBC affiliate WWLP-22 Springfield was the other (then, Springfield got CBS
from the then-WTIC-3 Hartford; also, WWLP had a full-power satellite station in
Greenfield, WRLP-32, and a translator further north in the Connecticut Valley).

Thus, I suspect this would be the Red Sox TV network lineup in the mid-1960's:

* WHDH-5 Boston (flagship)

* WPRO-12 Providence

* WNHC-8 New Haven

* WWLP-22 Springfield

* WRLP-32 Greenfield

* WCAX-3 Burlington

* WGAN-13 Portland

* WABI-5 Bangor

* WAGM-8 Presque Isle.

(I'm not sure, but didn't WAGM get network programs off-air from Bangor?? If they did,
WAGM got the Red Sox because games would pre-empt the regular CBS fare on WABI;
while WAGM was affiliated with all three networks, I think they took more shows from
CBS then from ABC or NBC).

Retro - This Week in TV Guide, June 28, 1975 - MSP Edition
This week I take a look at how TV had changed between the 50s and 60s and the mid
70s. For example, many of our favorite classic series were just everyday syndicated
shows in 1975, and the feature film was a staple of local broadcasts. Also, it's the eve of
the year-long Bicentennial celebration, and Tom Snyder's Tomorrow show takes to the
airwaves for a live 6-hour broadcast; and whatever happened to that anti-violence
campaign?

Re: Retro - This Week in TV Guide, June 28, 1975 - MSP Edition
Oral Roberts on 11, a Metromedia Station on a weeknight????? UNUSUAL!!!!!
Metromedia was big with first run Metromedia produced syndicated shows or local
productions in prime time.. MY GUESS???? A ONE TIME SPECIAL!!! Oral Roberts did
have occasional prime time specials when he would buy time on stations across the
country.

As for my local Metormedia station WNYW FOX 5, then WNEW TV - they were big with
cartoons 6:30 to 9 a.m., classic sitcoms 9 a.m. to Noon, local shows like Midday from 12
noon or so till about 1:30, a couple more older sitcoms till 2:30, cartoons 2:30 to 5 or
5:30 p.m., sitcoms till 8 p.m., Merv Griffin and a game show in prime time and eventually
PM Magazine at 8 p.m., local news at 10 p.m., a couple sictoms till midnight, and drama
shows overnights, and maybe a very old movie - pre 1960. Saturdays till 1976 were
westerns, drama shows, and very old movies from the 30's, 40's, and 50's. In the late
70's, WNEW TV ran cartoons from 6:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., then Soul Train, then an old
movie, then some sitcoms from 2 to 5 p.m., and then a mix of drama shows and old
movies. Sundays Channel 5 ran a local kids show called Wonderama which ran a couple
Bugs Bunny/Porky Pig/Daffy Duck cartoons an hour from 8-11, a double run of
Flintstones at 11, and then old movies the rest of the day. After 1976, Wonderama was
scaled back to 7-9 a.m. and cartoons and sictosm ran till noon with old movies
occupying the rest of the day and some drama shows in the evening. Sometimes a
drama show would land on weekdays in the late morning or early fringe but these
occupied weekend slots mostly.

Channel 5 ran NO religion except for a black church sevrice till 1977 at like 6:30 a.m.,
after which that was gone. Then in 1980 when Wonderama was canceled and another
show with that title which was more of a documentary hour long show moved to Sunday

at 9 a.m., Channel 5 began running religion Sundays 5 to 9 a.m. I remember they ran
Robert Schuller at 5, Kenneth Copeland at 6, Jerry Falwell at 7, and Jimmy Swaggart at
8. By the early 80's Saturday cartoons were gone some times of the year. Sunday
Cartoons tended to run 9-11 a.m. in the fall. The rest of the year by 1983, WNEW TV
was into drama shows till 1 p.m. and then movies from before 1960. Weekdays some
older sitcoms fell off for newer ones plus more first run syndicated shows ran afternoon
before 2 p.m.

Then Fox buys the company and evolves Channel 5 to more first run shows and more
local news,

Great stuff, Marckd! And yes, as you might have suspected, the Oral Roberts program
on 11 was a special. As the lone independent in the region they were prone to be the
outlet for Oral Roberts and Billy Graham specials, although I think each of the four
commercial stations had them at one time or another. I'd have to look and see if Roberts'
weekly series was carried on 11 or on one of the other stations.

"Bicentennial Minutes" ran up to December 31, 1976, with outgoing President Ford
hosting the last one.

Re: Retro: Charleston, SC (7/3/95)

Ah, the days when morning news didn't start until 6AM! And at this time, all 3 stations
were in talk shows at 5PM - I think WCBD was the 1st to start a 5:00 newscast.

The telenovela that starred Erik Estrada. It was so popular that it had to be extended
beyond the original end date and rerun a number of times.

Re: Retro: Boston/Manchester/Providence Mon, July 4, 1994

When did Boston Pops begin on CBS? Now that it's not being carried nationwide, I

remember that it was on every year for several years in the 2000s.

And for local fireworks shows, there's barely NOTHING on this listing! Nothing in
Providence, not even WMUR simulcasted WCVB's fireworks!

Re: Retro: Manitoba/NW Ontario Mon, July 5, 1971
I'm guessing that by 1971, CBWT had no split feed with its transmitters in Northwestern
Ontario? Listings I once saw from the 1960s showed CBWAT Kenora having a
somewhat different schedule than CBWT; it appeared they carried some CBC Toronto
programs such as Provincial Affairs.

WDSE and KFME did carry "Sesame Street" at the time, but in the afternoon.

Also, even though there were already two ABC affiliates listed, I wonder why
WDIO/WIRT wasn't also included (especially since it was the only Twin Ports outlet to
have an Iron Range satellite station, as opposed to just translators).
KTHI was cablecast in both Winnipeg and Kenora (the Tribune listed cable positions for
both cities, as well as a full listing of CBWT relays), KCND was a border-blaster channel
(Pembina is just over the border from Emerson in Southern Manitoba).

Got the two channels mixed up ...ch 12 was in both cities on cable, with 11 also
available in Winnipeg. Also Kenora took their NBC from WDAZ's sister station in Fargo,
WDAY 6.

Anyone know the source of "CESM 4 Cable Thompson?" It's clearly an ABC feed, but
most of the day is offset a half hour, and all of the news, even the network news is
missing. Was it a tape delay sort of operation?

My guess with the Thompson cable channels is that it was a similar situation to how the
Bangor stations were fed to Maritime cablecos in the early 70s...tape OTA in one
location (I'm guessing Winnipeg in this case) and bicycle the tape...though based on the
listings, Thompson seems to be the only area in the province with that set-up.

Yellowknife used to have such a cable channel, but it relayed CTV (probably CFRN
Edmonton) on delay.

Retro: Iowa-Tuesday, 9/21/93
I've always wondered this about KJMH (pre-KLJB repeater days)--had it not been for
first-adjacent WQEC-27 (PBS) in Quincy, and if KJMH had the financial backing to
upgrade/move to a different channel, could a case had been made to turn KJMH into a
drop-in, de facto Fox affiliate for the Quincy/Hannibal market (with a tower either in Lee

County, IA or northern Hancock County, IL)? This is despite the fiasco of the ill-fated
KTVO-3 effort to enter the Quincy market with its 2000-ft. tower (which collapsed June 2,
1988). Sometimes I have wondered if that could have been part of the intention of
channel 26's owners of having two Fox affiliates in the Quad Cities market (even though
KLJB-18 briefly lost its Fox affiliation during 1988-90).

Re: Retro: Iowa-Tuesday, 9/21/93
Where's all that horrible programming that KOCR aired? I thought at this time, not only
were they renting VHS tapes for broadcast - illegally; but they also aired many programs
with "off-key" commercial breaks (I thought one guy said "Crazy Like a Fox" aired on
KOCR in July one year with December holiday ads in it). They also had absolutely no
ads on air - maybe one advertiser, and promos. Today's Fox on 28 in Cedar Rapids is a
heck of a lot better!

-crainbebo

KJMH's problem is that it really didn't cover anything but Burlington (it was on the KGRS
tower), and there just wasn't enough population to make it viable. Before the move to
Aledo, there was an LPTV in the Quad Cities on 26.

KJMH definitely would have needed to change channels to make a move to Quincy.
There were vacant noncommercial allotments in Ft. Madison and Keokuk which might
have been possibilities for a channel swap. I heard secondhand that KTVO had made an

offer on the station in the early 90's.

No Jeopardy in Des Moines in Sept. 1993? ??? Although wasn't there a period (before
this schedule) that J! and WOF aired on two separate Central Iowa stations--J! on KCCI
and WOF on WHO (or vice-versa)? I recall seeing old Des Moines schedules from 1990
in which this practice occurred.

Re: Retro: Iowa-Tuesday, 9/21/93
My recollection is that in the late 80''s Jeopardy was on WOI at an early slot (maybe
4:30) and Wheel aired on KCCI at 6:30. This would have been back when WOI ran local
news at 5 and M*A*S*H at 6. I think Wheel may have aired on WHO earlier in the
decade.

Any listings for PBS?

That would have been rather interesting if KTVO's offer on KJMH had been successful
(at that time KTVO had been a few years removed from their 2000 ft. tower collapse),
the channel moved from 26 to one of the vacant Ft. Madison/Keokuk allotments (or even
a new station), and became an repeater for primarily the Illinois side of the
Quincy/Hannibal market. A new tower could have been built in ground conductivity-rich
Hancock County, IL (between Carthage and Dallas City), and would have filled most of
the then-ABC white area in western Illinois particularly in an area bordered roughly by
Quincy/Macomb/Pittsfield/Beardstown/Jacksonville (which at the time lacked Grade Blevel reception of ABC alternatives such former affiliate WAND Decatur, KTVO, WHOI
Peoria, KTVI/KDNL St. Louis, and WQAD Moline).

In fact, there were some cable systems in parts of Adams, Brown, and Pike counties in
Illinois that were only able to rely on national ABC feeds pre-KHQA 7.2 (including WKRN
Nashville and WABC). And although not listed in this edition (but is receptible from
Burlington southward), Quincy NBC affiliate WGEM-10 was still carrying "All My
Children" on a three-hour tape delay during Sept. 1993.

Re: Retro: Iowa-Tuesday, 9/21/93
Given the costs of building new transmitting facilities and getting the channel moved, I
suspect even free as a price for KJMH may have been too much. Certainly more value
as a potential move-in for the Quad Cities.

When you start looking at the small market stations that signed on in the 50's and 60's
that served very rural areas, KTVO really was fortunate. Being on VHF certainly played a
large part of it. I doubt if they had signed on as a UHF station in 1955, they would have
survived as a stand alone station. Chances are, they would have either been a repeater
for a station in a nearby market or gone dark and been forgotten (like WJJY).

I live in the DSM metro and it was only within the last year or two that WOI began
overnight programming.
The same thing with WOI's sister station down the way in the Quad Cities region, with
WHBF only now recently broadcasting overnights.

Re: RETRO: Southern Michigan, Wed. 10/10/1979
I don't think CBC stations usually showed regular-season NHL games on nights other
than Saturdays.

However, October 10th, 1979 was Opening Night of the 1979/80 NHL season for many
teams, so CBC decided to broadcast a special midweek edition of "Hockey Night In
Canada" which (in at least Ontario and likely points East) featured Toronto hosting the
New York Rangers (the latter was a Stanley Cup Finalist the previous year).

While defending champion Montreal would not open their season until the next night
(October 11th; did CBC carry that game nationally or regionally??), that night also
marked the first games in the NHL for two former World Hockey Association teams (the
Quebec Nordiques and the original Winnipeg Jets), and it's possible (but don't know for
sure) that "HNIC" may have regionally carried Quebec's opener against the old Atlanta
Flames in Quebec and Winnipeg's opener in Pittsburgh at least in Manitoba and maybe
points west.

Although I suspect WKBD-50 probably carried only away games of the Red Wings
during the regular season back then, I would not be surprised if their 1979/80 home
opener against Philadelphia on October 20th was also telecast by WKBD, given that it
was the first game played at Joe Louis Arena.

So 4 years later, here's the answer...

They, as was typical still in 1979, aired various programs in the 7:30 time slot. It appears
from looking at other days, it was quite varied between game shows and local programs.

Of course, the match-up was not yet known at the time TV Guide went to press.

#4

Actually, it does not appear so. It appears TV Guide had a misprint that night due to the
CBS special at 11:30. The listing for Switch at midnight says to see channel 3 at 11:30
and the listing for Hawaii Five-O says to see channel 3 at 12:40. That's the same as
what is listed on other nights for channel 2.

Retro: Boston - Wednesday, October 4, 1967
Source – Boston Daily Globe

Game 1 of the 1967 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals

was played this day. NBC had the rights to the Series, and the games would be carried
on WBZ in Boston. Red Sox games during the season aired on WHDH. By a special
arraignment WHDH was allowed to pick up the NBC feed and air it simultaneously with
WBZ. I have no idea why NBC would acquiesce to this arrangement, nor can I find any
stories in the Globe that week explaining the reason.

Re: Retro: Boston - Wednesday, October 4, 1967
"Dickory-Doc" with host Bob Barker? Must be a different
Bob Barker; the one who reminded us to have our pets
spayed and neutered was hosting the syndicated version
of "Truth Or Consequences" as well as "The Family Game"
on ABC.

There is a later case when a network allowed another
network's affiliate to carry a sports event, putting the same
broadcast on two channels. WHAS/11 had carried the Kentucky
Derby since 1950 and all through the years CBS had it. When the
Derby moved to ABC and WLKY/32 in 1975, the Derby people insisted
that ABC feed the race to both stations; first, because of the longtime
association with WHAS and second, because of WLKY's weaker signal.
ABC did this until CapCities bought the network in 1985 and refused to
allow ABC programs to appear on another network's affiliate. (ABC just
did outbid CBS for the rights to the race in 1990, a reason that's been
given for WHAS's switching to ABC that year but, IIRC, CBS was having
rating problems at the time.) After NBC (WAVE/3) acquired the race in 2000,
all that became moot.

Re: Retro: Boston - Wednesday, October 4, 1967
I can tell you it wasn't an issue of signal disparity. I know that WHDH claimed a right to a
local broadcast a playoff game if there was one. I still can't believe that WBZ did not
complain and try to stop it.

Re: Retro: Boston - Wednesday, October 4, 1967
I thought that TV flagships of Major League Baseball teams prior to 1976 could simulcast
network coverage of World Series games.

WSBK-38, which became the Red Sox TV flagship in 1975, simulcast NBC's coverage of
that year's World Series between the Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds.

I think it was 1984 when that network exclusivity kicked in, at least as far flagship
television stations being allowed to televise their own coverage of the League
Championship Series. There's a couple of clips on YouTube (unless they took it down) of
WFLD Chicago's telecasts of one of the ALCS games between the White Sox and the
Baltimore Orioles.

Re: Retro: Boston - Wednesday, October 4, 1967

From 1969 through 1983, local TV stations that held rights to hometown Major League
Baseball clubs were allowed to produce their own broadcasts of League Championship
Series games involving those teams.

I recall WSBK-38 in Boston originating their own broadcasts of the 1975 American
League Championship Series between the Red Sox and the Oakland Athletics and the
infamous 1978 division tiebreaker game between the Sox and the New York Yankees (In
fact, I think WSBK's remote truck not only provided the video coverage for WSBK's own
broadcast of the 1978 playoff game, but it's video coverage was also used for ABC's
telecast of the game.

Local flagship stations were never allowed to produce their own World Series coverage,
but as mentioned above, could simulcast network coverage of the Series through 1983.

Re: Retro: Boston - Wednesday, October 4, 1967

TV 38 had play by play with Dick Stocton and Ken Harrleson for 75ALCS using NBC
video For 75 World series Both Dick Stockton and Ned Martin did play by play on NBC
TV and Radio for Boston games. Ned Martin did the call of Fisk's Home Run on NBC
Radio. For Cincy games only Marty Breennaman did play by play on NBC TV I beleive
Ken Coleman was doing Cincy TV games from 75-78

This was after Joan Rivers left for the new Fox network to start her own talk show, only
for her to soon quit. As indicated below, others were already filling in for her on Fox.
Garry Shandling would later replace Joan as The Tonight Show's guest host with jay
Leno taking the reins in 1987. Apparently, Pat's guest hosting stint was between Garry's
and Jay's. Nevertheless, it could have been a preview for his ill-fated series on CBS in
1989.

Notice the different guest hosts -- did KFNR/KFNB show The Late Show on a day (or
longer) delay? Never mind that all Fox affiliates in Mountain Time would have
electronically delayed their shows.

CBS affiliate WEYI in Flint / Saginaw also carried INN News at 11PM, in lieu of a local
newscast -- until shortly becoming NBC, WEYI only had one newscast of its own each
weekday, at 5:30PM (not counting news briefs).

At the time, channel 15 was a low-powered repeater of KPLO channel 6, a KELO
satellite in Reliance. The following year, it would be converted to a full-powered signal,
as KCLO.

And here's where things get weird...the Nebraska edition, which covered most of KELOLand, has Captain 11 listed that day 2:30-3:30 MT (the rest of the network also usually
aired Scooby at 2:30 MT/3:30 CT), as a live shot from the zoo in Sioux Falls...I suspect
lead time for the different regional offices (Denver for Northern CO, Minneapolis for
Nebraska) may have had something to do with the difference?

As for ABC 11/20, it appears that they ran the Late Show on a day-behind basis.

Retro: This Week in TV Guide, July 11, 1964 - MSP Edition
This week the Republican National Convention dominates the headlines and the
television coverage. Looking back on it from today's perspective, it's astounding how
much importance was attached to the political covention. As for 1964, the GOP
convention was a doozy - and, as I write, a good example of why political parties don't
want conventions like this anymore. Plus, NBC newswoman Nancy Dickerson does an
convention fashion preview, Sullivan vs. The Palace, and more.

Besides Senator Barry Goldwater's acceptance speech, the most-remembered moment
of that convention came when NBC floor reporter John Chancellor was arrested on live
TV, signing-off: "I'm John Chancellor, NBC News, reporting from somewhere in custody",
as he was being marched off the floor.

I, age eight and a half, was watching it, and the director cut to a two-shot of anchormen
Chet Huntley and David Brinkley in the anchor booth, who were laughing their heads off!

Despite the fact that Chancellor went on to anchor "NBC Nightly News" for almost a
dozen years (1970-82), he is best remembered not for that, but for the Arrest At The
Cow Palace. Some even claimed it was the reason why he got the anchor desk after
Huntley and Brinkley split.

The story had a happy ending: The head of security recognized Chancellor, dropped the
"charges" against him (maybe the officers arresting him were fans of ABC or CBS!), and
ordered him back out on the floor to do his job for NBC.

Re: Retro: St. Louis Sat, July 28, 1979
I am surprised that given St. Louis had a VHF independent (KPLR-11) back in the late
1970's, it did not carry the Cardinals, but instead, KSD-5, a network affiliate, did.

On the other hand, the team might only have allowed a limited number of games (all or
mostly away games) to be televised, so a strong network affiliate could be the TV
flagship. Certainly, a network affiliate could have been able to handle a TV package of
up to 30 away games, or perhaps as many as 50 to 60 games if about half of them were
home contests.

But if the Cards wanted as many as 100 games a year (approximately 35 home games
and about 65 away games) to be locally televised, KPLR (or maybe even UHF indie
KDNL-30) would have gotten the TV deal by default, since none of the network stations
would be able to carry that many games.

would be able to carry that many games.
You could say that about a few other markets whose local baseball team was carried by
a Big Three network affiliate. I believe the Cardinals were still carrying about 25 games a
year on KSD(K) in the 1970s (by contrast, fellow NBC affiliate and future sister station
WLWT in Cincinnati was doing about 50 Reds games annually until the station gave up
the rights in the mid-90s). The Cards were one of the first teams in MLB to do a package
of games on regional cable (on a couple of unsuccessful occasions) before going full-tilt
on what would eventually become Fox Sports Midwest. The only difference between
Cincy and St. Louis is that Cincy never had a VHF indie, although WXIX had a strong
reach carriage-wise beyond the Cincinnati metro area.

By the time the Cards moved to KPLR by the 1988 season, they were doing at least 50
games a year (maybe more), but when the games moved back to KSDK in 2007, it was
back to 20 or so games a year (almost exclusively on Sundays), with the rest on FS
Midwest.

Re: RETRO: Memphis, TN: MONDAY, JULY 22, 1968

Being from Memphis, that list brings back a TON of memories for me. "Good Morning
From Memphis" with Russ Hodge, Paul Dorman, and Kitty Kelly. I remember getting
home from elementary school and turning on "Dark Shadows. Heck, I would be happy to
turn my TV on right now and have nothing but these shows on again.

15 What is Degrassi Jr. High? [three times now!]

Is that the title of the listing (perhaps a documentary of the show) or an innocent
question bridged with the regular title "Degrassi Junior High"? (And if the latter, 15
actually ran the show four times on this day with the 7:30 PM airing.)

KCKA aired the "title" of the listing, "What is Degrassi Jr. High?" Probably some type of
preview show related to the Degrassi series.

KMOX though a CBS O & O is preempting the Sunday Morning cartoons, What's New
Mr Magoo and Skatebirds which were reruns of Saturday morning cartoons CBS had in
the 77-78 season. WOnder if this was just missing from listings or that they just did not
run it. Its unusual for an O & O not to run a network offering. Also missing from Channel
2 was Kids Are People Too and Animals Animals Animals. KTVI though was an affiliate
so I can see them preempting ABC Sunday kids shows. Still ABC affiliates mostly ran
ABC Sunday shows far more than CBS Affiliates ran CBS SUnday cartoons and Kids
Shows.

I grew up in a neighboring market, and I have no specific memory of Channel 4 clearing
the CBS Sunday morning cartoons in the late '70s or '80s. Beginning at some point in
the early '80s, Channel 4 even started bumping 30 minutes of the CBS Saturday
morning cartoons to air "D.B.'s Delight."

Re: Retro: Oklahoma Monday, July 23, 1979
Oklahoma City was still a NO independent station town in 1979. By the end of the year
they had 2 independents that signed on within weeks of each other. That would fill a
huge void in that market...

KTVT at 7 AM had a local show called Slam Bang Theatre with a mix of Bugs
Bunny/Warner Brothers Pre 48 post 41 color cartoons, Three Stooges, and MAYBE
Poepye at some point from what I have heard and seen in listings back then...Someone
said Little Rascals aired there as well but did not after 1973 because 39 KXTX had them
when they merged with TV 33 in 1973 (actually KXTX was on 33 originally and
DOubleday donated TV 39's license and programming to 33 and they combined assets
and made a more agressive station on Channel 39...The same time as WYAH TV 27
Virginia Beach went from 8 hours a day to 20 hours a day between the fall of 72 and Fall
of 73. WHAE 46 Atlanta also evolved slower from 1973 to 76 from a couple hours a day
to 20 hours a day. But KTVT did not have Rascals after 1973 if they had those.

What was Comedy Capers??? I saw this in other listings as well. My theory was it was a
mix of cartoons from the same group as Slam Bang but leaned toward comedy rather
than action...

On KXII, what was the series Twelve Acres at noon? It sounds like a rural soap opera. ;D

It was a farm-news program. KWTX/10 Waco had an identical program called "Ten
Acres,"
which was carried on its satellite, KBTX/3 in Bryan, TX, as well (but under the "Ten
Acres"
name).

Retro: This Week in TV Guide, July 21, 1973 - MN State Edition
This week we read about how more Americans are getting medical advice from doctor
shows on TV - hey, who needs WebMD when you've got Marcus Welby, M.D.? Also, the

College All-Stars take on the Miami Dolphins, The Midnight Special takes on In Concert,
Rachel Carlson takes on pollution, and more!

http://www.itsabouttv.com/2013/07/th...y-21-1973.html

As always your comments, positive as well as negative, are welcome.

And now the week's listing, wherein we've got everything from channel 2 to channel 11.

Re: Retro: Hartford-Boston-Providence (7/25/77)

38 WSBK never had the Flintstones in the 70's or 80's. WLVI 56 had them all along in
the 70's and 80's till 1988 when they moved to WFXT and then back to WLVI in 1990 till
about 1995. WSBK had them maybe in the mid 90's. That may have been Fred
Flintstone and Friends

Re: Retro: Boston/Manchester - Monday March 29, 1954
ABC would not get a full-time affiliate in Boston until November, 1957 so WMUR-9 was
the default ABC station for Boston. And with a good antenna, it's analog signal reached
Boston and even penetrated a little south of Route 128. With an outdoor antenna at my
location in Norwood, Massachusetts, I got a decent (but not as strong as Channels 2, 4,
5, and 7 from Boston or Channels 10 and 12 from Providence) analog signal from
WMUR with (in the 1970's and 80's) good color.

In Boston itself and the northern suburbs, WMUR's signal was even better with a clear
picture, including color once that came in.

I would think that at least a couple of prime-time programs Maureen Carney posted for
WMUR from the Nashua Telegraph's listings that were in fact on ABC.

(Among them would be "Big Picture", which actually ran on ABC for a time in the earlyto-mid 1950's; and "Junior Press Conference", which ABC found as a cheap
"throwaway" against the top-rated "I Love Lucy")

I don't think WMUR carried CBS shows that were cleared by the old WNAC-7; in fact, I
thought that WMUR in its early years may even have cleared a couple of NBC shows
that WBZ-4 did not.

Re: Retro: Boston/Manchester - Monday March 29, 1954
From the Boston Globe, here are listings for March 29th, 1954 from 4 P.M. onward
(since the Nashua listings posted at the beginning of this thread began at 4 P.M.) of
Boston's one UHF station at the time (the late WTAO-56) and the only VHF in
Providence at the time, WJAR-10 (both of whose signals likely couldn't be received in
Nashua):

WJAR Channel 10 (NBC/CBS/ABC)

4:00 Welcome Travelers (NBC)
4:30 On Your Account (NBC)
5:00 New England Talent Club (local)
5:15 Children's Theatre
5:30 Howdy Doody (NBC)
6:00 The Adventures of Superman (syndicated)
6:30 Jo Stafford Show (CBS, delayed from previous Tuesday at 7:45 P.M.)
6:45 Peter Carew Show (local?)

6:55 Weather; News (maybe the weather was at 6:55 and the news at 7?)
7:15 TV Sports Page (with Warren Walden; local)
7:30 Madison Square Garden (films of sporting events taking place there; syndicated)
7:45 NBC News, John Cameron Swayze
8:00 Name That Tune (NBC)
8:30 Make Room For daddy (ABC)
9:00 Outlet Company Jubilee (local special probably celebrating the store's anniversary;
Outlet was the original owner of WJAR)
9:30 Robert Montgomery Presents (NBC)
10:30 City Detective (syndicated)
11:00 Local News
11:10 Main Event Wrestling (likely on kinescope, probably syndicated although DuMont
did carry some wrestling until 1955)

WTAO Channel 56 (DuMont/ABC)

5:45 Sign-On/Captain Video (DuMont; delay from 7 P.M. sometime during the previous
week)
6:00 Local news with Ken VanWart
6:15 What's Your Trouble? (syndicated religious show with Dr. Norman Vincent Peale)
6:30 Deadline Edition (I have seen this title listed for local newscasts in various New
England markets. Maybe it was a regional newscast---apparently originated from WHYN
Springfield and fed to stations by stations rebroadcasting the signals of other stations
carrying it)
6:45 What One Person Can Do (I suspect this was a syndicated public-service type
program)
7:00 Locker Room, with Herb Ralby (local; Ralby was a longtime sportswriter in Boston)
7:15 Marge and Jeff (DuMont; one of it's stars was a young Jess Cain who a few years
later would become morning man at WHDH-850)
7:30 From Little Wings (aviation film?)

8:00 Front Page Detective (although starting on DuMont; the show ended in first-run
syndication in 1953)
8:30 Wedding Morning ( a short film of some sort)
9:00 Movie: "Honeymoon Limited" (I found a 1935 film with this title on IMDB; running 74
minuets, meaning about 20-25 minutes of the film had to be cut due to the network
program following at 10 P.M.; see below)
10:00 Professional Boxing: Middleweight bout between Bobby Dykes and Ralph Jones
at Eastern Parkway Arena in Brooklyn (DuMont)
11:00 News (likely local, followed by sign-off)

Re: Retro: Huntingdon, PA Tuesday, January 16, 1996
That's quite a lot of markets represented there; I'd love to
go around the dial and see the local news from each one.
Not knowing much about the geography of Pennsylvania
(other than where the major cities are), I'm assuming Huntingdon

is in the Johnstown-Altoona market, since all its channels seem to
be represented here.

What edition of TV Guide did they get?

In 1996, the TV guide edition they got for the Johnstown-Altoona market, was the TV
Guide Johnstown-Altoona edition.

There's a show on WPIX called "Swaps". What was that about?

Also, what about "Naturesleep" and "Billy D" on WTTG?

-crainbebo

Was WHP-21 (CBS) Harrisburg not listed in this edition (even though the rest of the
Harrisburg/Lancaster/York "Big Four" was listed)?
That's right, the Huntingdon Daily News didn't include listings for these stations...

WLYH-15 (UPN)
WHP-21 (CBS)
WJAL-68 (WB)

"Swaps" was a short-lived dating game type show, as broken down here:

What happened to WCNY 24 PBS?

I wasn't interested in Public Broadcasting.
Maybe YOU'RE not, but some of the other board members here are, like myself.
Yeah, I agree...either post the full listings or don't post them at all.

Here's a question: What happened to the REPLY button? ???

Retro: Toronto & Hamilton, January 14 thru 19, 1961
Source: TV Guide, Lake Ontario edition

As this was the first full week that TV Guide listed the complete schedule of CFTO/9
Toronto (which had signed on the air for its first regular programming the previous New
Year’s Eve), I thought it would be interesting to isolate only the Toronto market stations
and give a glimpse of what Canadian TV was like that early in the game. Although CFTO
was officially an Independent station (CTV wouldn’t get cranked up until later that year),
it’s significant that most of the Stateside imports (nine of them) aired on CFTO were ABC
series; ABC had held a minority stake in CFTO’s holding company until just before the
station took to the air. Only two other CFTO prime time shows, Route 66 and The Andy
Griffith Show, would come from another U.S. network (CBS). In addition to the Buffalo
and Syracuse stations, and WICU-TV/12 in Erie, Pennsylvania, the Lake Ontario edition
also listed two other Ontario stations, CKVR-TV/3 Barrie and CKCO-TV/13 Kitchener;
being CBC affiliates, most of their programming duplicated CBLT/6 Toronto’s schedule,
so I plan on posting those under a separate listing.

Each of the Toronto and Hamilton stations aired a lot of U.S. first-run imported series,
often running episodes before NBC, CBS or ABC would. I’ve added the U.S. networks
and nights for the first-run episodes of these series to each such listing. Oddly, although
CHCH-TV was (and continues to be) a local-strength signal to the Toronto metropolitan
area, it was programmed as if Hamilton was a distinctly separate market, with CBC
network programs being duplicated on CBLT and CHCH-TV; in one case, episodes of
the same syndicated series (Lock Up) were aired at the same time on both CFTO and
CHCH-TV.

And, yes, I was surprised as well to notice one major hit series was absent from all the
schedules here: NBC’s Bonanza, which starred Lorne Greene (whose first broadcasting
success came as the CBC’s main newscaster during the World War Two).

13 C.O.P.S. (the problem is figuring out if this is the popular Fox police show, or if it's
reruns of the cartoon C.O.P.S. from the late 1980s)

I would have to think it's the former; by now, the Fox series was in syndication, and the
animated show was either off the air, or revamped under the new name "Cyber C.O.P.S."
on CBS Saturday mornings.

Speaking of CBS...

7 Dangerous Curves (Canadian show?)

Nope - part of CBS' "Crimetime After Primetime" lineup - in its final months before David
Letterman came to the network.

By the by... What did 22 air at 5 PM - or did they air a full hour of "Garfield And Friends"?

Full hour of Garfield & Friends (4:30-5:30). Thanks for letting me know about Cops! (I get
confused since the police show doesn't use those dots like the C.O.P.S. cartoon in the
1980s did...)

-crainbebo

Though it might have been produced and seen in Canada before CBS picked it up.
