Until the launch of PBS station KAKM in 1975, Channel 2 ran Mister Rogers at 5:00 while Channel
11 had Sesame Street at 9:00 and 4:30. Why Channel 13 never bothered to carry The Electric
Company, I don't know.
Also...KTVA should've aired Cronkite at 10:30 following the late news, and Anchorage would've
gotten 90 full minutes of national news (CBS News at 10:30 on KTVA, ABC News at 11:00 on
KIMO, NBC News at 11:30 on KENI). No wonder why Seattle had to air them first before flying
the tapes to Anchorage for the late night airings!
And because there were only three stations, there was not much syndicated programming even
though there were nighttime versions of Hollywood Squares, Jeopardy, and LMAD, as well as To
Tell The Truth and What's My Line? But...that was Alaska TV in the '70s for you.

9:00-Today Show (satellite delay, I think)

7:30-CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite (yes, at 7:30 in the morning!!)

There were no satellite feeds from the commercial networks to their affiliates in the seventies --
and, in 1974, such feeds were pretty expensive. The 9 AM airing of Today on channel 2 wasn't
likely to be a delayed satellite feed in 1974, but was probably an airing of a tape sent up from
Seattle the previous day.
As for running the CBS Evening News same day at 10:30 PM instead of the following morning at
7:30 AM -- it may be that the 11 PM airtime for the ABC News was about as early as could be
safely accomodated based on flight schedules between Seattle and Anchorage -- 10:30 may have
just been cutting it too close. So rather than running the CBS News against ABC at 11 PM or NBC
at 11:30 PM, channel 11 might have just figured it would be a better service to offer it the next
morning at a time when the competition hadn't even signed on the air yet.
Hard to say for sure why they made the decisions that they made back then. But I can imagine
that the logistics of getting tapes and films flown back and forth between Seattle and Anchorage
had to be a real nightmare.
Yeah, the Today show was on a one-day delay in 1974. It probably wouldn't be until some years
later (maybe after Tom Brokaw and Jane Pauley took over) that it would be on a same-day
satellite delay.
First-run syndicated programming in Alaska didn't come until the transition to satellite in 1984. I
remember seeing one Anchorage schedule from October 1984 that had "Entertainment Tonight"
on KTVA's listings, and I'll be posting that sometime soon.

Especially in a region of the continent not known for always having great flying weather. I
imagine there were many times when conditions at either end of the Seattle-Anchorage run
meant there would be no national news that day.
I'm curious -- did the affiliates there ever not run a tape-delayed newscast when major breaking
news made what had been broadcast some hours before horribly dated? I mean, say for
example some major world figure died or was assassinated in the interim, and the broadcast
reports on him or her as if they were still alive? The local radio and TV stations would have had
already seen the wire service bulletins and reported the news, and it would be pretty
disconcerting to have those reports followed by Uncle Walter reporting on some conference
they were scheduled to attend or speech they were to make the next day.

Channel 17 had just been sold to Providence Journal Company. Friday November 2 would be the
last day Channel 17 would have a 2 hour afternoon kid block. Because Channel 48 & 29 got
stronger kids shows Providence Journal opted to gradually exit channel 17 out of the kids
business. They took an hour off the afternoon lineup that Monday. Then in January they would
end the afternoon kids stuff totally keeping morning kids shows until the Summer of 1981. Then
except for Romper Room CHannel 17 would leave the Kids business totally in the Fall of 81. They
would reenter kids programming the Fall of 83 when Channel 48 went dark.

even sign on until 1981 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WPSG ).

Hi
As to where I have been, I was unable to use this board since the Spring of 2006 when it changed
formats. This was around the time the originator (I believe) passed away. My passwords stopped
working and I had a tough time trying to reset. Recently, I reset and now am back and able to
post.
My source is a Sussex County NJ Newspaper "The NJ Herald" for listings in these instances. Back
then the cable system there carried both New York and Philadelphia listings.

Listings begin at 7 a.m. and indicate both stations' local programming was still in black and white.

5:30-8pm = all live net. The 8-10 movie was local, not CBS, as the

Batman would have been on a one-week delay (tape? 16mm film?)

H-B and prime time were likely fed from Salt Lake or Denver as one
would need a few tape machines to deal with a one-hour delay on
The Virginian (and Carson at 10:30). I Spy = live net, 9pm show =
a delay from 7.

KATN also had the 1988 and 1992 Summer Olympics when the games went to NBC. And early in
the 1995-96 season, they ran the first promos for the 1996 Olympics in the hopes that Channel 2
would carry them next, but that wouldn't be the case as Smith Media would acquire them and
two other ABC stations in Anchorage and Juneau in November 1995.

I am amazed at there were NO preemptions at the start of the 1977-78 season on astation like
KYW which had a huge reputation for preemptions. In 76-77 they only preempted an hour a day
which Channel 48 ran. This would not last. The Next summer when NBC revamped the schedule
KYW would increase preemptiuons. In 1980 they were up to three hours of preemptions of
daytime programming as Channel 17 ran most of the preemptions around their religious shows.

Sure this was a gamew show? It look like it's in the middle of the public affairs block.
Actually, this was an early literacy program for adults who couldn't read. This black and white
series was produced by what was WFIL-TV around 1965-1966, then repeated over and over
again through the early-1980s.

Actuallu "Challenge" on KYW was a game show for children with children as contestants at that
time.

Yes, as Markd pointed out. A children's quiz show hosted by Anita Klever.

Produced by WFIL in the early 1960s, in association with the School District of Philadelphia. It
was indeed for adult education. Hosted by Dr. Alexander Shevlin.

According to p. 149 of The Pro Football Encyclopedia (Macmillan, 1997 ed.) that game was
played in Philly, not Cleveland. The Browns won 24-19.
I watched it in the TV room of my dormitory at what is now Kutztown University, where I was a
freshman. Four things I recall from that telecast...
1) Harold Carmichael, #17 of the Eagles, with the build and gait of an oil derrick, catching a short
pass (on maybe the second play from scrimmage of the game) to give himself 105(?) consecutive
games with a pass reception, breaking the NFL record held by Danny Abramowicz
1a) Carmichael, at halftime, receiving a trophy for his receiving streak that was about twice as
tall as his 6'8" frame
2) Wilbert Montgomery, #31, rushing for nearly 200 yards
3) NBC interrupting the telecast sometime in the second quarter to show footage of the
hostages from the U.S. embassy in Iran being paraded through Teheran. They'd been taken
hostage earlier that day. I'd heard the news that morning on KYW 1060 but didn't think about
the import of the event for a few days or so, much less that they would be held for 444 days.

Okay, a few annotations to your excellent post:
8 AM CHALLENGE-Game
As mentioned, this was the long-running locally-produced kids' quiz show hosted by Anita Klever.
MondayFriday
6:35 FARM HOME & GARDEN
Another long-running KYW staple (ran from the mid-1950s to the late 1980s), hosted by station
announcer Gary Geers.
9AM CARD SHARKS-Game
10AM MORNING SHOW-Talk
CS and HSQ were on a one-day tape delay, pre-empted by the program that followed them here,
the MORNING SHOW.
4PM MIKE DOUGLAS-Talk
Mike was in Hollywood by now, having moved his show from KYW's 5th & Market studios a year
earlier.
7 AM CARRASCOLENDIS-Children
It's "Carrascolendas"--this syndicated Spanish kids' show was a fixture throughout the 70s.
7 PM MEETING HOUSE
This formerly led off KYW's Tuesday night lineup, having replaced NBC fare like "Black Sheep
Squadron" and "Grandpa Goes To Washington" during the '70s.
I am amazed at there were NO preemptions at the start of the 1977-78 season on a station like
KYW which had a huge reputation for preemptions. In 76-77 they only preempted an hour a day
which Channel 48 ran. This would not last. The Next summer when NBC revamped the schedule
KYW would increase preemptiuons. In 1980 they were up to three hours of preemptions of
daytime programming as Channel 17 ran most of the preemptions around their religious shows.
Don't forget the aforementioned Tuesday night bumping of NBC's 8PM programs, and the
occasional pre-emption of network movies. In the early 1980s, some of NBC's daytime sitcom
reruns (THE FACTS OF LIFE, DIFF'RENT STROKES) ended up on WTAF-29.
7 AM DIRECTIONS
This was ABC's long-running religious program, similar to CBS' LAMP UNTO MY FEET
8:30 SUNDAY MASS-Catholic
WPVI still airs the Catholic mass some thirty years later, though now at 5:30 AM.
11 AM AL ALBERTS-Children/Variety
Two of WPVI's greatest local kids' shows. It's a great testament to their endurance that both
lasted until the mid-1990s, prior to the sale to Disney.
12 NOON MATINEE MOVIE - Wonder Woman (1974)
The Cathy Lee Crosby classic...
2 PM LARRY FERRARI-Children/Variety
Uh, more like a weekly organ recital than a children's variety show. Ferrari was another longtime
station staple, whose 40-year run on WPVI only ended with his death in 1997.
Ah yes, this was ABC's ill-fated attempt to move the Robin Williams vehicle from its successful
Thursday timeslot to this one. It didn't work, and the sitcom never really recovered. It was gone
two seasons later.
As mentioned previously, the adult literacy program produced by then-WFIL-TV and the School
District in the early 1960s. You gotta love WPVI for continuing to air this B&W program into the
early 1980s.
10 AM PHILADELPHIA-Talk
The early days of this long-running (into the late 1990s before moving to late nights) program
were hosted by future INN anchor Claire Carter and future ACTION NEWS weatherman (and
David Boreanaz's dad) Dave Roberts.
4PM MERV GRIFFIN - Variety(Edge Of Night was preempted and run on Channel 48 at 10:30 AM
weekdays and a day behind- Also Channel 6 preempted Pyramid and it would air on 48 as well.)
Pyramid aired at 12 Noon. Later ABC preemptions went to WTAF-29.
7PM TIC TAC DOUGH-Game
This was shortly before Lt. Thom McKee's then-record-setting $300K+ run on the game show.
Monday
Uh, no. It was ACTION NEWS even after Howard Cosell & co.
Well, I need to get some sleep, and this post is long enough . I'll continue this tomorrow.
---Perf2K8, who bids you good night.

An ongoing event and, as we know, the nightly reports about it on ABC eventually morphed into
"Nightline" and made Ted Koppel as star.

played in Philly, not Cleveland. The Browns won 24-19.
Then the NFL's rules must have been very lax at that time, as CBS was airing another game right
opposite it on Channel 10!

Didn't the WVAH-TV call letters move over to today's FOX channel 11 in Charleston/Huntington?
Yes, they did
Odd that they didn't list WCMH/4, NBC in Columbus,
nor WVVA/6, NBC in Bluefield (WOAY is in Oak Hill, WV,
which may explain that).

WCHS and WOWK swapped affiliations in 1988.

As you can see, KTBY and KTVA were pretty much the only two stations in Alaska to go 24 hours a
day by 1992, though I'm thinking the former station was the first.
Over here in Fairbanks, we got company as KFXF in Fairbanks signed on around that time. Prior
to that, the Foxnet channel on cable was our only source for Fox programming.

Re: Retro: St Louis Tues, July 1, 1986
Family Ties on KPLR 11 was from NBC's daytime run, preempted by KSDK 5
This was right after CBS sold Channel 4 to Viacom (pre-CBS). The CBS daytime schedule was still
intact from the KMOX days, but KMOV had already taken to delaying "CBS Late Night" to 11PM
and was signing the station off at 1:30AM instead of airing "CBS News Nightwatch."
Ah yes 1986...that was the year the ownership cap moved from five stations to twelve stations,
and the big three all had to sell on of their first O&Os to get back under the cap after buying up.
ABC sold WXYZ, NBC sold WKYC, and of course CBS sold KMOX. With the KMOX sale and switch
to KMOV the station went pre-emption crazy through the mid-90s. They also lost their status at
St. Louis' #1 station at the same time.

"KTXL 40: 10 O'Clock News"
In the 70s and 80s in the Bay Area, we got Sacramento stations on Viacom cable. Around this
time, I remember the TV40
"10 O'clock News Plus" anchored by Pete Wilson, who ended up anchoring in San Francisco
(KGO-TV, then KRON, then KGO-TV again), and as a radio talk host on KGO radio until his
untimely death about a year ago.

Channel 2 aired these shows back-to-back - that's funny!
Is that how Phil got around to marrying Marlo Thomas?

TBS-World Championship Wrestling; usually with Gordon Solie featuring the stars of the National

words:
"On behalf of WTBS, it's a pleasure to welcome the World Wrestling Federation; exciting new
matches and great competitors from all over the world. And here's the man to tell you all about
it, here's Vince McMahon."
From there, Freddie passed the microphone to the man who would change the face of the
business forever: VINCENT KENNEDY McMAHON!!!!!!! For many of us, it was a day which would
live in professional wrestling infamy.

Pretty good lineup, but for those of us who had cable in 1984 and were wrestling fans, we were
in for the shock of our lives that day as the WWE kicked the NWA out of their prestigious time
slot on TBS.
Three weeks after "Black Saturday", NWA returned to TBS as "Championship Wrestling from
Georgia" and in an early morning time slot. It would be quite a while till they went back to their
old 6:05 home on Saturday evenings.

Pretty awesome lineup for 1979, I should say (compared to Fairbanks'). By the way, the only ABC
daytime show absent from these listings was "The Edge of Night", and nighttime versions of
Hollywood Squares and Family Feud as well as many other syndicated game shows (Name That
Tune, Newlywed/Dating Games, Gong Show, etc.) weren't seen at all.

Re: RETRO: Anchorage, Alaska (August 13, 1979)
a few months after these listings, Sarah Purcell and a crew from the TV show Real People visted
Nome, Alaska. Two things I remember..
1. Purcell and some local guy from Nome went over to the nearby then-USSR and placed an
American flag on their soil.
and number two, there was a scene that was filmed at either a local bar or perhaps a restaurant.
The customers were watching Real People !!! The customers if I remember were very familiar
with the TV show Real People, well they acted like they were anyway.I seem to remember
watching some woman from Nome saying how much Skip Stevenson, his "smile" kept her warm
on those cold Alaska nights.
OK..I kinda wondered how that was possible. The restaurant/bar had their own satellite dish and
were able to pick up Real People there? Or did the folks at Real People take a VCR to Alaska with
them and showed the customers a tape of the show and made the viewers down in the lower 48
assume that one could pick up either the Anchorage or perhaps the Fairbanks stations in Nome?
I'm sure someone with more Alaska knowledge will correct me, but I believe by the late 70's
there were quite a few lo-power translator stations all throughout Alaska that rebroadcast
delayed stuff (a week or more) from U-Matic VCR machines. (I remember reading an article
about this network around that time.) I imagine Nome might well have had one or more of
those.
I am curious at how this sort of set up worked?
Did someone fly out to those translators and pop in a tape and ran it on a continous loop or
something?
Did these tapes consist of a mix of programs from the various networks or only one network per
translator?
This is interesting.
Don't recall the details, but I believe the tapes (U-Matic cassettes) were just sent on a delay basis
to the various sites by mail or courier, and then just programmed on site. I wish I could
remember where I saw the article -- it might have been in Broadcast Weekly or something
similar.

Re: Retro: Atlanta Friday, January 21, 1972
No local news on WQXI channel 11 other than at 11pm?
I am surprised considering how popular WQXI radio was at that time.

Channel 11 had local newscasts at 7 PM for much
of the '60s; in 1969 they tried a 5:30 newscast
that was an immediate failure. From 1970 to 1972
they aired syndicated programs against WSB's
and WAGA's news. In September 1972 they finally
recommitted to news; they hired Virgil Dominic from
NBC in Cleveland to anchor Pro News at 6 and 11.
He lasted until 1976, when the 11 Alive format was
instituted.
Channel 11 did have a midday newscast at 12:30
(12:00 after September 1972) but it was pre-empted
this particular day for coverage of the Democratic
response to the State of the Union Address.

Virgil Dominic then returned to Cleveland as News Director and later General Manager of WJW-
TV 8 by 1977..He oversaw the transition of Channel 8 from the "City Camera" era of the 1960's-
early 70's to the "Newscenter 8" era from 1977-to about 1995 or so..He then retired from what
was now Fox8 and is living in retirement in Florida..One of the finest Newsmen..and Gentlemen,
by all accounts to ever work in Cleveland TV news..
Edit:Just noticed a very good. complete interview with Virgil Dominic here:

Back to "The Day After": Yes, it already set off nerves across the Lower 48 (and Juneau; they
were the only Alaskans who saw it first), but Anchorage and Fairbanks had to wait up to two
weeks to see what all the hubbub was about for themselves . Here in Fairbanks, KTVF broadcast
the film and "Viewpoint" on December 4.
But looking back, the threat of a nuclear war was a very serious matter in 1983, though it would
become forgettable when the Cold War ended and the Soviet Union crumbled. But I'm sure "The
Day After" when it aired was more shocking than -- and I may get burned for saying this -- the
recent death of Heath Ledger.
The movie is of course on DVD now (under $10 at Fred Meyer, Target, Wal-Mart, etc.) if you want
to relieve all that without being frightened.

At the moment I don't have any from either
1986 or the '90s, but I'll keep an eye out for
any TV Guides that happen to materialize.

I notice New Zoo Revue airing on virtually all the ABC stations. Was this an ABC network show
back then?

Re: Retro: South Georgia UHFs Saturday, May 30, 1981
Now here we see 3 wrestling shows listed. WTBS airs Georgia Championship Wrestling at 5:30
prior to the Bravs game. At this time The Freebirds were riding high as well as Tommy Rich. Tony
Atlas was in and out splitting time between Georgia and the WWF. The Masked Superstar was in.
The Alabama show Im guessing woukd be the Fuller-Welch territory with Jimmy Golden, the
Fullers, and Bryan St. John.
Im not sure what the Valdosta show would be.

Re: Retro: South Georgia Chs. 8-13 Saturday, May 30, 1981
The Jacksonville station is airing wrestling which is most likely Eddie Graham's Florida Wrestling.
At this time Dusty Rhodes was the top dog in Florida. "If you w eel he was the bull of the
woods!" JJ Dillon was probably there with "King" Jim Garvin and also a young Barry Windham.
Come to think of it Hulk Hogan may have actually been there at this time. He was in a short feud
with Mighty Igor which flopped and Hogan went up to Minnesota to work for Verne Gagne.

6:30 Price Is Right (listed as The New
Price Is Right)
Might've still been "The New Price Is Right" -- owing to the technicalities of syndication at the
time ("bicycling"), plus repeats of earlier episodes, the nighttime TPIR (hosted by Dennis James)
very likely remained "New", after the daytime version dropped the "New".

WOWL is now WHDF (standing for Huntsville/Decatur/Florence). It took those calls in 1998 when
it became the UPN affiliate for Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley.

A few comments from someone who was watching these stations at the time...
As I remember, Siegel made quite an impact ... maybe not a positive one in the minds of many
Nashvillians at the time, who thought he was a brash Yankee, but an impression nevetheless.
4 PM Movie: "Mars Needs Women"
Their afternoon movie was still called "The Big Show" at the time.
5 PM News
10 PM News
Their "news department" at the time consisted of one man, Newman Milwee, who did news,
weather and sports. Any out-of-studio coverage consisted only of black and white still photos.

...and I thought Siegel went to WABC-TV, not WCBS-TV. I know he got the WABC gig in part
because the general manager Siegel worked for at WLUK/11 Green Bay, Bill Fyffe, had been
brought in to WABC by the corporate brass after turning the lowly Green Bay affiliate around in
the news department. Dunno if Fyffe called Siegel or Siegel called Fyffe, however...

I thought that at one time Stanley Siegel
had a show on WCBS at 9 AM, although he
may have been at WABC first. I do know
that Nashville viewers didn't particularly
take to him; as someone else said (in
effect), he may have been a little too
"Yankee" for their tastes.

They would hang on about a year and a half more, going off the air for good in February 1970.
Couldn't cope with having lost their ABC affiliation to WLCY-10. The channel would remain
vacant until WTTA signed on in the early 90's.
And the arrival of WTOG three months later in December 1968 didn't help matters, either.

...the same show, by any chance?...
Good chance. In the '70s WTOG used to run the show
Saturdays at 7, and WLCY (WTSP) ran it Sundays at 1.

Re: Retro: Central Florida Sunday, September 8, 1968
Championship Wrestling from Florida indeed! This was fairly early in Eddie Graham's promoting
career. I think Cowboy Luttral was no longer active by this point. The Briscos were not in yet. Jack
was in TX or OK just starting out. Jerry came along a year or two later. Dory Funk Jr was NWA
World champion so he was definitely making Florida shots. Otherwise I do not know who the
mainstays were in 1968. Perhaps Paul Jones and Joe Scarpa to name a few. Of course Scarpa
went on to become Chief Jay Strongbow.

Re: Retro: Central Florida Sunday, September 8, 1968
I remember watching Championship Wrestling
From Florida on Channel 28 in Raleigh/Durham
around 1969, and that was indeed the title
they used. Channel 36 in Charlotte had it
as well in that era.

Not at the moment. But to the poster who
asked about Corpus Christi, I can post some
listings, but not now; I have to go to work.

I see that the clip is tagged with WKBT-TV of La Crosse, WI. They were an ABC affiliate at that
time? I know they're a CBS affiliate today.

Re: Retro: Dallas/Ft. Worth Sunday, July 8, 1984
How about Thursday 7/12/84?
KXTX aired wrestling at 11 am which most assuredly was World Class. Right around this time
David Von Erich passed away and they were promoting the Parade Of Champions show at Dallas
Stadium which was a tribute to David. At that show which took place in July of 1984 Kerry Von
Erich beat Ric Flair to become NWA World Heavyweight Champion.
The Texas Stadium show was 5/6/84.

Sorry Freebird. You are correct

When did Channel 33 go general entertainment?
I wanna say '85, maybe '86?

It had to be 1986 at the latest, since it
was one of the original Fox o&os, those
bought from Metromedia, and would have
carried Joan Rivers' late-night show (the
first Fox series).

Re: Retro: Corpus Christi Wednesday, July 11, 1979
Somebody who lives in that area can answer better than I can,
but I have a South Texas edition issue from 2000 that shows
KDF/47, the Fox affiliate. I'm guessing sometime in the late '90s,
but it's just that--a guess.
By request, from TV Guide, South Texas Edition:
KRIS Ch. 6 (NBC)
1:30 Another World
How long was Another World a 90-minute program?
How long was Another World a 90-minute program?
I believe that Another World stayed a 90 minute program until the soap opera Texas premiered
in 1980 and Another World went back to 60 minutes.
Another World was 90 minutes from March 5, 1979 to August 1, 1980.
Along with a huge ratings comeback by General Hospital, my understanding is that 90 minutes
really hurt the show and they never recovered.
There were production problems aplenty on the 90-minute Another World;
actors had to be scheduled in shifts rather than a full day in order to get
everybody who had a part on a given day in.
Another problem, plotwise, was the killing off of practically every member
of the Matthews family, the show's core family since it went on the air
in 1964. That didn't sit well with a lot of viewers, who deserted and never
came back.
But Texas had it even worse. Not only was GH number one by that time,
but Guiding Light was into a ratings comeback, ranking usually fourth.
NBC eventually moved Texas to 11 AM (ET), but soaps have a poor track
record in the morning, and it was gone by the end of 1982.
Thanks for those Coastal Bend listings BPatrick!

I knew about the channel change, not about
the call letter change. Since it's my practice
to give the current call letters and/or channel
(like WSIX Ch. 8/WKRN Ch. 2) I'll have to remember
that.

Interesting that Georgia Championship Wrestling and All South Wrestling aired back to back on
17 since that was after an office split with Ray Gunkel's widow, who dated Ted Turner, running All
South. Also, both promotions taped back to back at Techwood Drive and All South would only
last another year or so after this before closing up.

The Miami Dolphins were going into Super Bowl VII as the only undefeated team in the NFL; the
New England Patriots were trying to accomplish that same feat in Super Bowl XLII just a few days
ago but thanks to the New York Giants, it wasn't the case. The Dolphins and the Redskins would
meet again ten years later in Super Bowl XVII; this time, it was advantage: Washington.
And Super Bowl XVI between the 49ers and Bengals was the most-watched Super Bowl game of
all-time; now it's second behind -- you guessed it -- Super Bowl XLII, which is now the #2 most-
watched television program of all-time in between the "M*A*S*H" finale and the "Who Shot
J.R.?" episode of "Dallas"!!!

I would have to say that I don't know what some of the shows are, especially the local ones, but
someone can elaborate I am sure.......
We need a music radio station that is "pro radio-anti-establishment"

Yep, channel 39 had "News Before The Hour". During the afternoon cartoons, the "anchors"
were local kids/teens.
Some of the local shows:
Turn On - Youth-Oriented public affairs show hosted by Ed Brandon.
Harold Gunn - local talk show hosted by "Captain Harold", who also hosted a B-movie show on
the weekends.
Dialing for Dollars - Don Nelson hosted the Houston version.
Calendar - local talk show hosted by....I'm blanking on the guy's name, he was also the ch. 39
booth announcer.
The name you're thinking of is Pat Brown. More on Channel 39 here:

I assume this would be the syndicated edition, since no other station has it on their schedule,
rather than the daytime version KSAT pre-empted earlier in the day.

Yes, the Family Feud that aired at 6:00 PM weeknights was the syndicated version. Channel 12
didn't air the daytime version that would usually have aired at 11:00 AM.

In 1973, KHFI changed call letters and channels. Channel 42 became Channel 36 and KHFI
became KTTV until 1987 when it became KXAN. Channel 42 would return as KBVO in 1982 first
as an independent station then in 1987 as the FOX station until 1995 when FOX moved to KTBC 7
and Channel 42 became the CBS affiliate KEYE.

Also about the ABC Movie "Ice Station Zebra", Part 1 aired that Sunday night and this was the
conclusion of the movie that aired on Monday night since "Ice Station Zebra" was a 3 hour and
30 minute movie.

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati Thursday, May 15, 1975
I'm too lazy to search Google but I believe Uncle Al lasted until the mid eighties as did Bob
Braun.
8 AM Town Talk
This show ran for years on Channel 27. June Rawlings (I might be spelling that wrong) hosted this
chit chat show and was later named "The June Rawlings Show" before it was canceled in the late
seventies. IIRC correctly "Town Talk" had an organist that played in the background as June
interview guest.
Channel 62 became Channel 36 in June 1980. It's been many years but I believe they actually
dismantled and rebuilt the 1000' tower.

Uncle Al lasted until 1985, and I think Bob Braun
was canceled about the same time, as WLWT put
more money into news. When Multimedia owned
WLWT, they wanted to put Braun into national
syndication; he refused, saying he liked for his
show to be a showcase for local and regional
talent, which would have to go if the show went
national.
I remember when WTVQ moved to Channel 36;

it was off the air for several weeks in the spring
and summer of 1980. I believe there's an independent
on Channel 62 in Lexington today.
When Multimedia owned
WLWT, they wanted to put Braun into national
syndication; he refused, saying he liked for his
show to be a showcase for local and regional
talent, which would have to go if the show went
national.
I seem to remember Braun was talking about this back in the mid 90's when he was doing
mornings at then 1530 WSAI-AM.
Before Braun became the main host, Ruth Lyons did the 50/50. She was offered a chance to take
her show nationally but decided to keep her show strictly for Cincinatti viewers.
When Braun said no to Mulitmedia's idea of making his local show national, I wonder if this was
the beginning of the idea behind the Jerry Springer show? I believe Jerry was already doing the
news at WLWT in 1985 and from what I remember Jerry's show was already in the planning
stages in the late 80's.
My guess is that when Bob Braun said no to Mulitmedia, they went to Springer about the idea of
hosting a nationwide show.
Of course we know what happened in the future.
My guess is that when Bob Braun said no to Mulitmedia, they went to (Jerry) Springer about the

Yes -- the decline of Western civilization... :
Which also just reminded me of what some comedian once said....the gist of it was that it's good
to watch shows like Springer, because "no matter how bad things are going, you can watch those

Not entirely sure about that one. I know KELO in South Dakota's Captain 11 program had a good
forty-year run, although it had became a weekly series by the time it met its demise in the mid-
90s.
With regards to Louisville TV Stations: WHAS-Channel 11 and WLKY-Channel 32. When did they
switch networks? For many years, WHAS was CBS and is now ABC. WLKY was ABC for quite a
while and is now CBS. Anyone?
If I recall correctly it was because WHAS aired the Kentucky Derby, but then ABC won the rights
to the race, so they swapped over to ABC from CBS. Ironically not long afterward WAVE and NBC
got the rights not long afterward...
The switch happened in September, 1990.
When ABC got the rights to the race in 1975, the Derby people
requested (demanded might be a better word) that the race be
carried on both WHAS and WLKY. The Derby/CBS/WHAS relationship
had been a good one, but the main reason was WLKY's reception
problem, being on Channel 32, while WHAS is on Channel 11.
When Capital Cities bought ABC, their management decided that
the Derby could not air on a CBS affiliate (specifically, WHAS).
When the contract came up for renewal in 1990, CBS nearly won
back the Derby, only to see ABC retain it with a last-minute winning
bid. That was when WHAS decided to go to ABC; after all, they
didn't like carrying the pre-race festivities all day, while the race
itself was on another channel.
NBC got the rights in 2000, and WAVE is the station that makes
an all-day affair of it (WHAS cuts in and out during the day, at
least according to some of the last issues of TV Guide from that
area that I've seen).
Getting CBS was a godsend to WLKY, especially in the daytime,

since the CBS soaps have always performed quite well in Louisville.
Not entirely sure about that one. I know KELO in South Dakota's Captain 11 program had a good
forty-year run, although it had became a weekly series by the time it met its demise in the mid-
90s.
Note I said I believe Uncle Al was the longest-running
local kids' show, because you've got me on this
one. Captain 11 lasted from 1955 to 1996, seven years
longer than Uncle Al. I can't argue with facts, but Uncle
Al's run of 34 years is nothing to be sneezed at.
Also, I should mention that at one point Uncle Al was on ABC
Saturday mornings; this was when WCPO was Cincinnati's ABC
affiliate the first time, in the late '50s, I think. WCPO went to
CBS and WKRC to ABC in 1961; they switched back in (when?)
'95 or '96.
Oh I thought you had meant "longest local kids show anywhere". Should have known better!
I did mean "longest running local kids' show anywhere,"
so I'm conceding that you're right about Captain 11.
Regarding Uncle Al, I'm just saying that 34 years is a
most respectable run and deserves a mention regardless.

I remember when WTVQ moved to Channel 36;
it was off the air for several weeks in the spring
and summer of 1980. I believe there's an independent
on Channel 62 in Lexington today.
One of these days I need to give the full story to the UHF morgue, but here is the condensed
version of Channel 62 after WTVQ. Two companies fought through most of the eighties for the
allocation. One was going to make it a round a clock preach-a-thon, the other was going to
provide general entertainment program. A compromise was reached and the general
entertainment company received the CP with an agreement to provide the preachers some time.
WLKT signed on the air in 1988. Their tower was located east or northeast of Lexington (it's been
a while) pumping out full power. The problems started out of the gate with major picture and
sound problems. Another issue was the microwave hop. The antenna was too low to send a
stable signal to the transmitter site and swayed in the wind. A improvised fix was made at the
studio to raise the antenna to stabilize the signal.
The major problem was programming and revenue. Lexington finally received an independent
station two years earlier when WDKY signed on the air and a year later received the Fox
affiliation. There was just enough revenue to support the four existing station but not enough for
a fifth so WLKT suffered. Also, all the popular syndicated shows of the time were airing on the
other stations. WLKT limped along with scraps. Then there was a major lawsuit between the
current owners and the preachers over breach of contract. WLKT's days were numbered.
About a year later WLKT disappeared one afternoon as the money ran out. The license was
returned and the tower dismantled. The allocation lingered through the nineties with several
scenarios including a transmitter site located between Lexington and Louisville to serve both
markets. Today Channel 62 is a low power signal.

So the 11/32 swap was over the Derby? I thought it had something to do with 41 going FOX, but
I guess it was just co-incidence. It all went down about the same time. I was a Sr in HS in 1990,
but I sure do remember Presto The Clown on WDRB growing up. A couple radio engineers I've
worked with over the years had done a good deal of TV in the L'ville area years ago....fun to hear
the back-stage stories of my fave local TV shows from my youth...who was a drunk, who was
cool, who was a beast, the equip issues they had, etc. I was 2 and a half years old when the
above-excerpted TV guide came out!

KTVF's "Fairbanks Evening News" finally expanded to a half-hour in September 1971; that same
month, they added ABC programming to the mix with its shows being on a one-week delay (CBS'
was still three weeks).
Also in the fall, Channel 11 started carrying three first-run syndicated shows on the weekends:
"Hee Haw", "Lassie", and "The Lawrence Welk Show"; the former two just dropped by CBS while
Welk was canceled by ABC. This was when the FCC's new Prime Time Access Rule came into
effect, with the networks relinquishing 7:30 to the stations leaving them 8:00-11:00.
Ted Lehne also served as KTVF's general manager at the time, and I'm sure he's seen all those
old Fairbanks TV schedules I've been posting in the last couple of years. And I'm also sure he or
anybody else who've worked at Channels 2 and/or 11 back in the day may have some visual
mementos (either kinescopes or videotapes) from the '60s, '70s, or even '80s that are dying,
DYING, DYING to be on YouTube because like I said before...THERE AREN'T ANY!!!!!

You're correct. I've been saying and using
PBS in my listings for so long that I forget
sometimes that it was NET prior to the fall
of 1970. Thanks for correcting me on that.

Was that Braves-Mets telecast on WSOC a NBC network game, or was it on the Braves TV
network (back then via WSB-TV)?

Braves Network via WSB, Milo Hamilton and
Ernie Johnson doing the play-by-play. In
the Carolina-Tennessee edition, the game
was also carried on WFBC (now WYFF)/4
Greenville, SC (NBC) and WBIR/10 Knoxville
(then-CBS). IIRC, WRCB/3 Chattanooga and
WMAZ/13 Macon were also part of the Braves
network.

The interesting thing is WHKY/14/Hickory had actual programing, some interesting, even though
its coverage area was very limited at that time. Now, WHKY has a much expanded signal, "must
carry" on all Charlotte metro area cable systems and Dish and Direct and absolutely god-awful
programing---shopping and horrible local "religious" programing, plus their unbelieveably funny
local news programs!!!

By 1973 WSIX/8 (now WKRN/2) was carrying
the Braves in Nashville. WAPI (WVTM)/13
carried them in Birmingham, and
I remember that by about 1974 or '75 the
Braves network had expanded to include
WFMY/2 Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point
and WRAL/5 Raleigh/Durham.

If that's the PBS affiliate in Cincinnati, and I believe
it is, it wasn't listed in the Kentucky edition. A station
had to be seen in 15% of a particular edition's circulation
area in order to be included. Channel 54 in Covington was
listed as part of Kentucky Educational Television.

21 and 27 both had subscription TV in primetime.
As did 33. But they all dumped the nighttime subscription TV programming by the mid-80s.
When I moved to Dallas in 1984, the only station still running STV at night was 27, and they
dropped it within a year.

Man, hard to believe that this great station would be nothing but a memory some 9 months
later. It's a shame that the Field Brothers took a great Philadelphia institution like WKBS/48 and
used its' untimely demise as a tax write-off and took many staffers to the unemployment line. In
the history of TV, this was probably one of the most stupid station shutdowns of all time.

I often wondered why Metromedia never bought the station. Perhaps it was the FCC
[over]regulations at the time.
I often thought WKBS would have made a great asset in the company's portfolio.

I too remember the great shows on Channel 48. After its demise, Channel 17 and then
eventually "Philly 57" picked up some of 48's line-up but it wasn't the same.
Also, during that time period there was Channel 65 which I remember also played a lot of great
old shows. They seemed to like to show a lot of Candid Camera from what I remember. Anyone
have any info on Channel 65 and what became of it? Seems to me it was a NJ channel but I don't
know for sure.

My thoughts exactly. And there are a lot
of Hispanic kids in South Texas who could
learn English from it (forgive potential political
incorrectness).

This was 2 days after I was born ;D
At the time, I think all 3 local stations had a secondary affiliation with ABC, or at least they seem
to have carried some ABC programs. Channel 3 (KTVO) went full-schedule ABC around 1968.

...indeed, "Eye Guess" was a game show, Bill Cullen's first daytime game show (on NBC) after the
original "The Price is Right" was cancelled by ABC if I recall correctly. I wonder if "Captain
Kangaroo" on KTVO was simply picked up on the network line after the first commercial break,
or if it was tape-delayed by a day and a segment dropped by the station to fit into that slot. Also
interesting to see all the network rock music shows of the period run on the same day within
four hours of each other between two different stations, and "The Hollywood Palace" used as
competition against Carson...
Thanks for the info on "Eye Guess". First game show I can remember Bill Cullen hosting was
"Three on a Match", which I think was in the VERY early 70's on NBC.
I have no clue about the abreviated version of good ol' Capn' K., your guess is probably better
than mine. KTVO has been ABC for as far back as MY memory goes, BUT.... in the first half of the
70's, as a kid of about 5-8 y.o., I watched Sesame Street at 9:00 AM weekdays on KTVO. I found
the quantity of teeny-bopper music shows interesting
too. The inclusion of Hollywood Palace seems to indicate that KTVO was seriously flirting with an
ABC affiliation by '66.
Wasn't KTVO in '66 primarily a CBS affiliate but carried some selected NBC and ABC shows? I
remember reading something about this before. I don't think it was until about 1970 that they
became a full-fledged ABC affiliate (but even after that switch, KTVO continued to carry "As the
World Turns" and perhaps another CBS soap opera during the early '70s--similar to what
neighboring WGEM in Quincy did with "All My Children" and perhaps other ABC soaps until at
least the mid-90s, except during the year KTVO had their 2000-ft. tower geared toward serving
the Quincy market before it collapsed in June 1988).
7:35 News
Was this CBS or local news?
I really don't know. The listing I found at the library just said "News". The web sites of these
stations offer basically nothing so far as "back-in-the-day" info, and I've pretty much scoured the
web but haven't found much worthwile. KTVO has a bit more station history on their site than
the other two. Shame.... :-\
KTVO technically became a primary ABC affiliate in 1968, although as Tim said, the station
continued to carry a handful of CBS and NBC shows thru the early 1970s. KTVO did continue to
carry "As the World Turns" from CBS for a number of years. I also believe (but not sure) that
KTVO aired "Bonanza" from NBC until the show went off the air.
I would imagine it's safe to assume that KHQA in Quincy, and even possibly KRNT (now KCCI) in
Des Moines, had pressured CBS to abandon its primary affiliation with KTVO, since the KTVO
viewing area severely overlapped that of the other two CBS affiliates. From what I understand
(from what I remember from a Mike Seaver post from several years back, who worked at both
KTVO and KHQA at different times), ABC, which still didn't have many primary affiliates in small
markets, offered a comp package to KTVO that the station just couldn't turn down. And since
Kirksville-Ottumwa was technically a single-station market, KTVO probably figured it had little to
lose, at least revenue-wise, by flipping to primary ABC from primary CBS. The switch also
enabled viewers in northeast Missouri and southeast Iowa the chance to see ABC on a full-time
basis.

Re: Retro: Western Illinois-Northeast Missouri January 31, 1966
"Morning Star" and "Paradise Bay" were two attempts
by NBC to have morning soaps; "Morning Star," IIRC,
was created by the same people who did "Days Of
Our Lives," and "Paradise Bay" may have been, too.

The two shows debuted September 27, 1965 and were
canceled July 1, 1966. "Morning Star" was replaced by
"Chain Letter," a game in which contestants had to name
an item in a category starting with the last letter of the
previous player's word (Stefan Hatos and Monty Hall
produced, and this was Jan Murray's last hosting job).
"Paradise Bay" was replaced by "Showdown" (not the
Jim Peck "Big Showdown"), hosted by the era's most
acerbic talk-show host, Joe Pyne, and which featured
breakaway chairs which sent a player out of sight when
he or she gave a wrong answer.

This part of TN was on the borderline of Crockett's area so it i spossible that Mid Atlantic
wrestling was aired. The Southeastern promotion was either Welch or Nick Gulas.
The Blue Jays were terrible at this time. They may have won 55 games.
The NBC baseball game was rained (or more likely snowed) out that day.

Re: Retro: Knoxville/Tri-Cities Saturday, April 23, 1977
The NBC baseball game was rained (or more likely snowed) out that day.I'm guessing that was
maybe supposed to be the Jays' first national TV appearance, 1977 being their maiden year,
along with the Seattle Mariners. (Slight pause while I look that up just to be sure.)
Also, when did "All In The Family" move to Monday nights? I didn't think it was still on Saturdays
by '77.
I notice one NBC station airing Lohman & Barkley instead of "SNL"...Never got to see their TV
show, but I've heard some airchecks of their AM drive show on KFI in Los Angeles. Comic
geniuses, with a style that was kind of a cross between Bob & Ray and Jonathan Winters.

Re: Retro: Knoxville/Tri-Cities Saturday, April 23, 1977
I think "All In The Family" aired on Mondays in
the 1975-76 season; I know that it moved to
Sundays in the fall of '77.
Al Lohman and Roger Barkley hosted a short-lived
NBC game show, "Name Droppers," in the 1969-70
season, and I think they had a syndicated game show

in the '70s, "Bedtime Stories," which usually aired after
11 PM, at least on the few stations that bothered with
it.

One of the wrestling shows could be some indy-0utlaw show. Crockett did have some
competition in the 70's. First from the Johnny Powers IWA and then some others formed after
that fizzled. Eventually by the early 80's they were non-factors.

Re: Retro: Charlotte/Greenville Saturday, April 23, 1977
I remember the IWA but I don't remember seeing
it after 1975. One thing I remember about that
show was the ring announcer, Doug Weathers,

who did the weather on WTOC/11 Savannah.
A friend of mine at the University of Georgia told
me it would be like him to be a ring announcer.
WHKY may very well have been carrying a wrestling
show from outside the Carolinas. However, WBTV and
WFBC (WYFF) were, by this time, carrying Mid-Atlantic
Championship Wrestling with Bob Caudle as announcer;
WLOS and WRET (WCNC) had World Wide Wrestling,
which went through a number of announcers before
Rich Landrum became the voice of that show. Caudle,
BTW, worked with David Crockett; Landrum, with Johnny
Weaver. And since Channel 36 was owned by Ted Turner
at the time, I wonder if one of the Georgia shows aired
there.

WBTV NEVER aired NBA basketball until the Charlotte Hornets came to town. Of course, neither
did WFMY or WTVD.

Also remember, this is when the NBA was in its "dark period", just more than two years away
from the NBA debuts of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. During this same time down the way in
Atlanta, WAGA didn't always show all of CBS's NBA telecasts either, and those games ended up
on then-WTCG. Being that North Carolina is college basketball country, and with the closest NBA
franchises being the Washington Bullets (damn good back in those days) and Atlanta Hawks (so-
so back then), I'm guessing that WBTV thought they would generate better profits showing
syndicated product rather than the network stuff late nights.

The sad thing is, even after the NBA gained in popularity, WBTV refused to carry the NBA. Even
worse, when WRET switched to NBC, they no longer carried the NBA either! WCCB, owned by
eventual part-owner of the Hornets, Cy Bahakel, and original flagship station of the Hornets, also
passed! Until the Hornets began play in Charlotte, there was no OTA NBA representation at all in
Charlotte! WFMY and WTVD likewise continued to refuse to carry the NBA. When WGGT/48
came on in Greensboro, they did carry the CBS games, and the independent channel in
Fayetteville on channel 62 carried the games when they came on the air. I do believe WSPA/7
and WLTX/19 always carried the CBS NBA games. In the 1970s and 80s both WBTV and WSOC in
Charlotte pre-empted MANY network programs. I think this went back to their days when they
carried programs from all three networks, which resulted in both stations having large audiences
outside of the Charlotte DMA. By continuing to carry lots of non-network fare, they were able to
maintain a large viewership outside of their home market. The growth of cable finally put a stop
to that.

The "E! True Hollywood Story" program on "Welcome Back, Kotter" a few years ago indicated
that this highly anticipated episode (Horshack's wedding) was bumped for an address by
President Carter.
Given the date (Friday of Memorial Day weekend), wouldn't this have been a rerun?

Re: ABC Schedule Friday, May 25, 1979
Usually, it would have been, but these were among the last (if not the absolute last)first-run
episodes of 'Kotter' to air, as the series had just been cancelled. ABC had moved or pre-empted
the show frequently that season, as it was clear it was on its last legs, and they were just
'burning it off'. They continued to air reruns through the summer; maybe these episodes aired at
some point later on?

Minor nitpick: The "& Company" wasn't added to "Laverne & Shirley" until it hit syndication in
the fall of 1981. However, there was a real funky edit with the opening theme for the show.
I have an off-air recording of the 10:40-11:40 hour of ABC from back in spring 1980 off WABC-7
in NY with, of course, all of L&S and some of the Feud...L&S is interesting to watch...It looked like
the copy provided for daytime reruns wasn't in very good quality...

I missed the entire schedule (and Carter's speech [what was it about?]) on all three networks
that night. I was attending my senior prom (or as our school called it, our senior banquet).
And on a more tragic note (correct me on the date), wasn't 5/25/79 the day that a Lockheed
TriStar, immediately after takeoff from Chicago-O'Hare, have an engine drop off due to a faulty
bracket, and plummet to earth, killing everyone on board? I believe it was the deadliest pre-9/11
air disaster in U.S. history. I remember seeing a documentary on that crash a couple of years ago
on (I think) HIST.

...wasn't 5/25/79 the day that a Lockheed TriStar, immediately after takeoff from Chicago-
O'Hare, have an engine drop off due to a faulty bracket, and plummet to earth, killing everyone
on board?
DC-10 (not L-1011) N110AA, operating AA 191 ORD-LAX.

I missed the entire schedule (and Carter's speech [what was it about?]) on all three networks
that night. I was attending my senior prom (or as our school called it, our senior banquet).
on (I think) HIST.
You are correct, sir -- it was AA Flight 191, the crash of which killed all 271 passengers and crew,
plus 2 people on the ground. I recall watching network live coverage of that crash when it
happened. However, the crash occurred at 4:04 EDT which means, at least in the Eastern and
Central zones, it didn't really impact network schedules as there would have been no network
programming (save for the nightly newscasts) until 8 pm. (Unless CBS was sending out a 4 pm
feed of GL or some other soap to some affiliates.)
Remember when the broadcast networks actually covered stuff like that? Nowadays, it just
about takes something on the scale of a 9/11 or them to gear up, having all but abandoned live
breaking news coverage to the cable news networks. Which, of course, doesn't help the 13
million or so Americans who rely on OTA reception for their TV. But then, traditionally they got
far more flak from viewers about pre-empting their shows than viewers who appreciated the
news coverage (even on 9/11 there were actually calls from viewers irate that their soaps and
game shows were being canceled to show this historic and world-changing event), so they
probably figure they come out ahead in the PR department. :

...among those killed were Sheldon Wax, managing editor of Playboy; his wife Judith Wax, who
contributed material to the magazine; and Playboy's fiction editor, Vicki Haider. I seem to recall
that WLS-TV had legendary anchorman Fahey Flynn cover the story from the crash site, and he
got a local Emmy for it...

It did impact network schedules, but really not by much...ABC's 4pm offering was "The Edge of
Night", CBS's was "Love of Life" (recently dispatched from its long time 11:30am (EST) slot to
make room for Price is Right, which moved from 10:30 to 11). NBC stopped programming the
1pm/4pm slot earlier in the year when "Another World" expanded to 90 minutes and "Days of
our Lives" moved to 1pm (EST).
Huh, that's right...I forgot that EON had moved to ABC for a few years. Because when I was
growing up (and my mother and grandmother were huge soap fans at the time) it was on CBS, I
always mentally associate it with that network.

Re: Retro: North Florida/South Georgia Mon, Feb 17, 1964
Interesting schedule covering a large geographic area, and not a single ABC affiliate. I believe all
of the commercial channels listed, except channel 2, were secondary ABC, but showed few ABC
programs. I remember stopping in Jacksonville in the early 60s and being amazed that I couldn't
watch American Bandstand (I was about 14). No ABC, but three VHF educational channels. In
fact, WXGA/8 in Waycross GA would have made 4--were they not on the air in 64? This area was
SO ready for UHF. About a year later WJKS/17 came on in Jacksonville with ABC.

Re: RETRO: WESTERN ILLINOIS-NORTHEAST MISSOURI SATURDAY NOVEMBER 9, 1974
Funny that KHQA would show "The Partridge Family" just before "All In The Family", given that
PF had just been canceled on account of AITF.
WGEM - 10 Quincy (NBC)
7:30 PM Adam-12
delay from Tuesday at 7:00 PM
8:00 PM Movie
Local or NBC?
Did they pre-empt Emergency! because they were showing Lawrence Welk at 6:30 PM? Did they
air it on another day like they did with Adam-12?
KHQA Hannibal-Quincy 7 (CBS)
These were new syndicated episodes that featured Merle Haggard as narrator.
11:30 Call Of The West
Syndicated reruns of Death Valley Days.
I thought about mentioning the pre-emption of "Emergency!" when I posted this. Yep, it was
aired on Tuesday from 6:30-7:30 (Central, of course :) at least for the '74-'75 season. I have a
vague memory of watching it at least once and then going outside and tearing around on my
bike, pretending to be Gage & DeSoto ;D
Thanks for the info on the two westerns, I have no recollection of them, 11:00 being past my
bedtime at age 8 My earliest memories of late Sat. night on KHQA is 2 solid hours of country
music, the lineup I remember being:
Marty Robbins' Spotlight
That (Good Ol') Nashville Music
Nashville On the Road
Pop! Goes the Country
My Dad liked all these, especially Marty Robbins. This was probably from about '76 to '79 or '80.
The movie at 8:00 was almost certainly NBC Saturday Night at the Movies. And a 2 1/2 hr. one on
this particular night

Seems like they aired the reruns of TPF for several years at various times. Someone at the station
must have liked it ;D. They ran "Bewitched" pretty hot 'n heavy, too.
Pitting anything against AITF in those days had to be the kiss of death. "Emergency!" hung on for
quite awhile, but as noted, our NBC affiiliate pre-empted it to Tuesday, during this season
anyway.
Was KHQA running "Hee Haw" during this period? I had always kind of assumed KHQA picked up
the show in syndication when it left CBS in 1971, but I was just a baby then. Throughout the late
'70s thru '90 or '91, KHQA ran "Hee Haw" on Saturdays at 6PM. I seem to have a vague memory
of "Hee Haw" being on Tuesday nights back in the mid-'70; can anybody verify if and when it was
on and what CBS show(s) got pre-empted or delayed?
I'm also to young remember when "Hee Haw" was still CBS property (I was 5 in '71), but I'd be
willing to make the assumption that KHQA carried it from begining to end, both network & the
lonnnnng syndication run. It was on Tuesdays from 6:30-7:30 for a few seaons, most likely from
'72 to '75. They pre-empted first "Maude" and later "Good Times", and aired them on Sunday
night at 9:30, which was an empty spot in the CBS schedule during those seasons. Not sure
exactly when it began its long stay on Saturdays at 6:00, probably not long after this.
KTVO aired it on Sundays at 5:00 for quite awhile in the 70's, but I think they had disowned it by
the begining of the 80's. KHQA even aired the short-lived (and pretty awful) spin-off "Hee Haw
Honeys" in '78-'79, Sundays at 10:30 I believe.

Thanks for the "Hee Haw"/KHQA info. I also recall the Sunday 5PM airings of "Hee Haw" on
KTVO. KTVO dropped the show in the late '70s (I think), and then brought it back for a time later
in the '80s, running it Saturdays at 10:30PM.

The wrestling was either Bill Watts or Bob Geigel's Central States. Am I right?

Actually the wrestling may have been Leroy Mcgurk's Tri States group. Watts did not start
promoting the Deep South until the late 70;s.
The wrestling was either Bill Watts or Bob Geigel's Central States. Am I right?
It was Bob Geigel's Central States from Kansas City. Bill Kerstin was the long time announcer
(Hellooooooooooooo Wrestling Fans!! ;D) and the memorable stars were Harley Race, Bulldog
Bob Brown, Rufus R. Jones, Bruiser (King Kong) Brody, and many, many others that came and
went. WGEM and KTVO both carried it for a time, the late Sat. night run on WGEM is the last I
remember. Disappeared in the early-mid 80's, coinciding with the advent of major cable and
Vinnie's soap-operatization (My own word :) of wrestling >

Re: Retro:Charleston-Huntington, West Virginia, Sunday 5/11/80
I was living in Charleston then. I'd wake up every Sunday morning,fire up a joint and watch
Ernest Angley do his thing.
BTW,my on board handle comes from an ex Charleston radio jock,Al Sahley. Al helped me get the
twang out of my on air voice. A great guy.
WCHS had one of the worst TV news teams on the air then. A cross between Ron Burgundy's
crew and the SNL news team of the time. They were so bad they were funny.
I won't mention names but I saw a female news anchor at WSAZ duke it out with a female
reporter from WCHS on an elevator at the old Charleston Athletic Club. That was a fun town to
work in.

It seems like a long time ago (and it is now :) that most stations devoted the bulk of their Sunday
morning schedule to religious programming. With cable-satellite and most communities having
at least 1 full-time religious station, that's pretty much gone.

then there was that press conference ( again another guy in politics ) where ( again another
young female anchor ) asked the man at the press conference "..do you think your recent stay at
a mental hospital will hurt your chances at winning..how do you feel about that?"..
The guy walks into the crowd and punches the woman in the mouth and she screams " ..you

other.
I don't remember whatever happpened to all of those who were invovled but I am pretty sure
both events took place in the 80s.

The guy who did the punching in that second incident was a lawyer I used to know. When he lost
the Democratic nomination for Governor in '84 he formed the Squirrel Party and campaigned on.
I don't know what became of him,I lost track of about 10 years ago. A funny guy but a real
nutcase.
The pol in the first incident ended up punching someone at a presser in the '84 Senatorial
campaign. He was recently the Republican candidate for Governor and is a media mogul in WV.
I guess his take was "If they're going to talk bad about me,I'll buy 'em all up."? He still got
thumped in the general election.

Richmond, VA's ( Petersburg's ) then WXEX-TV channel 8, I remember them airing that man
punching out the woman at that press conference. Of course WXEX did bleep out what the
woman said.
Also WXEX made it clear just before they aired the video that it was not their station who was
involved since both WXEX and WCHS are on channel 8 and their logos I believe at the time of
this were about the same and both were using the Eyewitness News name.

Re: Retro: Western Illinois-Northeast Missouri Mon-Fri Daytime November 4-8, 197
Thanks for the post.
I recall KTVO airing "Sesame Street," but did not remember KHQA carrying "The Electric
Company"...my mom must have flipped it over to WGEM at 9:00 because I do remember
watching "The New Zoo Revue." "Name That Tune" was apparently being shown at 9:00 on NBC,
which WGEM delayed till noon. KHQA delayed the 9:00 block of CBS game shows to 3:30. WGEM
was making use of its secondary ABC affiliation by running "All My Children" and "The $10,000
Pyramid" in the late afternoon. KTVO was airing "All My Children" on a one-day delay at 10:00.
"The Young and the Restless" has always aired at 11:00 on KHQA, except for a brief time in the
early '80s. When Y&R expanded to an hour, CBS moved the show to Noon. During this period,
KHQA's midday news was aired at 11:30 ("Search for Tomorrow" got bumped to a one-day delay
at 11:00). As Y&R's ratings weren't exactly spectacular going head to head with "All My Children"
and "Days of Our Lives," CBS moved Y&R to 11:30, but KHQA ran the show on a one-day delay at
11:00 and returned the midday news to noon. It wasn't long after that CBS instituted the split
feed of Y&R, offering it at both 11:00 and 11:30 Central Time, which is still in place today.

My pleasure to post these, thank you for the information.
I remember "Electric Company" being on KHQA for at least a couple of years, but I never cared
much for it. It was pretty "out there", at least to me ;D. "Make a Wish" on KTVO was hosted by a
folk-singer type guy who reminded me of Michael-Meathead on AITF. WGEM moved "New Zoo
Revue" to 6:25 AM probably less than a year after this. My late Dad once did a hillarious critique
of it on my first tape recorder.
I think "All My Children" was taped from KTVI in St. Louis, in those days anyway. Sometimes one
of KTVI's promos would sneak in for a few seconds, before a quick-cut to a local ad or just the
WGEM ID card. I don't remember the KHQA news being bumped back to 11:30, but by the 80's I
wasn't watching much daytime TV.

So rather than having a secondary Telco line for ABC, did WGEM get
(an apparently) "raw" master control microwave feed from KTVI or
perhaps even just record their over-the-air signal?

They probably picked it up off the air, or off cable. I don't know when cable came to Quincy, but
KTVI, KMOX (now KMOV), KSDK, and KPLR were available on Quincy cable for years. For several
years, KTVO delayed "All My Children" to 3:30. I've been told that WGEM carried AMC off the air
from KTVO during this period. It was claimed that KTVO used to put superimposed IDs on the
screen in strange positions to mess with WGEM. However, I can remember when it seemed
WGEM would be running a different episode than KTVO. Maybe WGEM recorded it a day or two
in advance so some editing could be done.

I started a new thread asking some questions, prior to the listings being straightened up and
flown right. I'll repeat them here.
***
A few observations and questions (re. WABC-TV's schedule):
(1) Wasn't the 11 P.M. EWN also co-anchored by Grimsby and Beutel?
(2) I know the Best of Broadway title for their late-night/early morning movies was in use as
early as 1963 (prior to then it was The Night Show); when did their weeknight movie change to
The Movie Matinee (or The Matinee Movie, my memory's hazy at this point; I do know by 1972
or so that newer title was well in place). The question also applies to the first adoption of the
Saturday / Sunday Night Movie title for their late-night weekend movie shows.
(3) As to the long-running theme music used not only for The 4:30 Movie but also their other
movie umbrellas, is there anyone out there who would have any idea as to where it originated
from? One of the British music libraries, or one of the U.S. music composers (along the lines of a
music cue from future Hawaii Five-O theme writer Morton Stevens for the failed 1967 pilot Call
to Danger which was used for many years from 1973 until the late 1980's for the "CBS Special
Presentation" openings)?
***
On another tangent - I seem to recall this was less than a week before WOR-TV inaugurated a
regular nightly newscast, initially at 7:30 P.M. and anchored by once-and-future WNBC-TV
newsman Bill Ryan, for the first time since the February 1969 premiere of the ill-fated (for New
York) Stock Market Observer, which seemed to have more legs in Chicago (where it ran on WCIU-
TV, Ch. 26 to the '80's); during the interim stretch the only regular news reports Ch. 9 seemed to
have were only on sign-on and sign-off, from their various stable of announcers (including, in this
period, Russ Dunbar, Phil Tonken, Ted Mallie, Frank McCarthy, and probably WPIX-FM disc jockey
Cable Spence). As for WNEW-TV, wasn't this just prior to the debut of Midday Live?

WOW! What a lineup!
I'd watch any of those channels all day long versus much of what's offered now. With shows and
choices like those, who really needs 200+ channels on digital cable? Even with all of those
channels, there's less to watch over the course of one week than I see here in one day. It's why,
when I was a kid, we were perfectly happy with 4 or 5 channels. We didn't have 200 channels
and we didn't need them. Today we do. Sorry if it makes me sound old (I'm not that old!) - but I
just had to point this out.

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati Saturday May 23, 1964
I'm surprised there were not more programs on Channel 18 in color. They boast of being the first
full color UHF station in the country (1962). They were also the first stereo station in Lexington
but I believe last in HD.

interesting as there appears to be no rhyme or reason to which programs are in
color and which are not. Bullwinkle is in color on one station and not on another?
The ballgame in Cincinnati is in color but not the one in Louisville? And Captain
Kangaroo on a Saturday? I don't remember that.

I was afraid I might cause confusion by not
indicating a color show in every instance.
As a rule, if a color show is carried on more
than one station, it is in color on all the stations
(and that really means the NBC affiliates in this
case). One exception is Bullwinkle, which aired
on delay on Ch. 3; it was not aired in color there,
but was on Chs. 5 and 18, where it aired in pattern.
The Reds game aired in color on both 5 and 18;
Northwest Passage, a syndicated show, aired in
color on both 3 and 5. Other shows airing in
color on more than one station:
Ruff And Reddy on 3, 5, and 18, although 5 aired
it on delay.
Hector Heathcote on 3, 5, and 18.
NBC Sports Special on 3, 5, and 18.
Joey Bishop on 3, 5, and 18.
NBC Movie "Untamed" on 3, 5, and 18.
I can think of at least one other instance of a
station not airing a color show in color: in Cincinnati,
Truth Or Consequences, still on NBC in 1964, aired
on Ch. 12 (ABC) at 12:30, when NBC carried it (WLWT

carried Ruth Lyons' 50-50 Club). T or C aired on color
on Chs. 3 and 18 (both NBC), but not on 12.
I suppose that in the future, when I'm doing retros from
this era of transition from black-and-white to color, I'd
better indicate all color shows on all channels. Sorry
for the confusion.
And Captain
Kangaroo on a Saturday? I don't remember that.
Yup -- starting three months after its weekday debut in 1955 and continuing to 1981, there was a
Saturday Captain. Except for one season (1964-65) when Keeshan did a different show and
character: Mr. Mayor. Maybe some markets didn't carry the Saturday version; hence, your
surprise.
Not sure if this is urban legend, but I read somewhere that Mr. Mayor came about due to a
contract dispute between Keeshan and the network. Supposedly, CBS basically told him that he
could walk if he wanted to, but that they still owned the trademarks and such to the character of
the Captain, the Treasure House, etc., and would recast if necessary. Mr. Mayor was Keeshan's
way of showing them that he could still have a successful show as a different character (and, the
implication was, on a different network if he chose), and they caved in to his salary demands. As
I said, may be an urban legend, but that's the way I heered it.....
the way I heard it he burst into the studio with a grenade belt and an
AK-47 and threatened to blow the place away if they did not meet his
demands. Or maybe that was Fred Rogers?

That has to be an April Fool's joke. Actually, Keeshan
owned the Mr. Mayor character, while either CBS or some
talent agency owned Captain Kangaroo. Keeshan wanted
to replace Kangaroo with Mr. Mayor five days a week, but
parents around the country wouldn't hear of it. Kangaroo
resumed Saturday broadcasts in 1965 and continued until
1968 (and again around 1984, when CBS took the weekday
morning slot for one of its umpteen morning-show failures),
but some of the Mr. Mayor characters (like the Town Clown)
were incorporated into Kangaroo.

Big Time Wrestling was Ed Farhat's Detroit group which at this time was still a formidable
promotion. Years later Ed Farhat the Sheik would lose business not only because of the
econonmy but also his tired, predictable booking.
Chicago wrestling was Bob Luce's WWA which also featured AWA guys.
Retro: Atlanta Sunday April 20, 1980
Going into the last week of the 1979-80 season,
ABC and CBS were in a dead heat and remained so
until this, the last night of the regular season. CBS
will win the night, the week, and the season, and
regain the number-one slot it lost to ABC in 1976.

Re: Retro: San Francisco/Sacramento/Monterey Sat, Sept 18, 1993
Wow, how detailed! (You only forgot to detail how bad "Perfect Strangers" sucks! ;D )
One thing I would like to state for the record:
10-46 Beakman's World (premiere)
5 Beakman's World (premiere)
This was "Beakman's" premiere on CBS, as it had been in syndication for a year or two prior.
I also see "Baywatch" tagged with "premiere" below - I'm assuming it's the season premiere, as
that show, of course, was in syndication for many years prior.

three networks in its early years.

Re: RETRO: KFAR-TV, Fairbanks, Alaska (April 4, 1968)
Being that this was well before any live network connection in the 49th state, I would assume
that any bulletins regarding the MLK shooting were generated locally, no? (I would think that any
such major breaking news was handled by local cut-ins back in the day, probably just rip-and-
read off the wires?) That night's Huntley-Brinkley would certainly have dealt heavily with the
assassination, but by the time it aired in AK, most would already be long aware of the incident,
and maybe even have heard newer developments from radio, etc.
That night's Huntley-Brinkley would certainly have dealt heavily with the assassination, but by
the time it aired in AK, most would already be long aware of the incident, and maybe even have

...that would be assuming there was a special West Coast edition that KFAR would run.
Photographer Joe Loew, who was also staying at the Lorraine Motel that night, reported that he
had just switched the TV off after "Huntley-Brinkley" ended when the shot rang out...
I forgot the shooting took place so late in the day, but it makes sense when you remember that
MLK and his people were about to go to dinner when it happened. Actually, if KFAR normally got
HBR on tape from Seattle or another West Coast source, chances are that by the time HBR would
have aired in that time zone, they were probably doing breaking coverage of the assassination
rather than a rebroadcast or reedit of HBR.

Re: Retro: Southern & Central England Sat, Jan 4, 1997
I know it's a big thing in England, but somehow
the mind boggles at the thought of people actually
watching darts. I think I'd change the channel in
about thirty seconds.
Most of you probably know it, but "Family Fortunes"
is their name for "Family Feud."

WLFL/22 didn't sign on until December of 1981. As for WUNC/4, I'm not really sure.

WUNC may have been listed as part of
what was then North Carolina Public Television,
something like "E" in TV Guide. I'm sure it was
in the N&O, but it may take a second look to
find it.
Channels 17, 40, and 50 weren't yet on the
air, either.

Small footnote: This was premiere day for "Las Vegas Gambit" and "Blockbusters".
Also, it looks like (unless there was another independent station whose listings were not shared),
that the daytime edition of "Family Feud" was gone from this area..

Yep, daytime "Feud" was off WRAL. You had
to be in range of either WGHP/8 Greensboro/
Winston-Salem/High Point or WCTI/12 Greenville/
New Bern/ Washington to watch it.
It wouldn't be the last time ABC's noon show would
be pre-empted. After "Ryan's Hope" moved to noon,
WRAL carried it on delay at 11:30 AM, but when WTVD
became the ABC o&o they didn't carry it at all.

It ran exactly 9 months from October 31, 1983-July 27, 1984. NBC replaced
it on July 30, 1984 with Santa Barbara.

Thanks for the info. I saw it a few times. It was on during & just after my Senior year of HS ;D.
Any info about "Dream House" and "Hot Potato"?

I believe that both Dream House and Hot Potato lasted through the summer of 1984, IIRC. I
remember that Bill Cullen started hosting The Joker's Wild that fall after the cancellation of Hot
Potato.

3:00 Family Feud
3:30 All My Children (When did WGEM stop carrying this and the daytime F.F.
WGEM dropped "All My Children" for awhile after KTVO started using its 2000-ft. stick near
Colony, MO. ABC dropped WGEM as a secondary affiliate because KTVO was able to adequately
cover the Quincy area with its new mega signal. KTVO's new tower collapsed in the early
summer of 1988, and the station went back to broadcasting from its old 1000-ft. tower at
Lancaster, MO, which the station continues to utilize to this day. WGEM resumed airing AMC a
short time later, and that continued till the mid-'90s or so. I'm not sure when WGEM dropped
ABC's daytime version of "Family Feud"...I can't remember if they carried it till ABC canceled it,
or if they dropped it beforehand.
6:30 Jimmy Swaggart (A few years till the downfall)
And KHQA continued to air Swaggart here and on Sunday morning long after "the downfall."
3:00 Tattletales (I thought this one ended before '84
"Tattletales" had two runs on CBS...February 1974-March 1978, and January 1982-June 1984.
The show was replaced by "Body Language," hosted by Tom Kennedy, on June 4, 1984.
10:30 Hart To Hart
11:40 Columbo
KHQA would continue to air "The CBS Late Movie"/"CBS Late Night" in pattern (most of the time)
until the fall of 1986. In the fall of 1985, the station experimented with a syndicated movie
package from Universal ("Universal Pictures Debut Network") on Friday nights at 10:30. KHQA
continued to air "CBS Late Night" in pattern, otherwise, until the fall of 1986, at which time the
station aired "The Jeffersons" at 10:30, followed by "CBS Late Night" at 11:00 The syndicated
movies continued on Friday nights for a brief time at 11:00, pre-empting CBS programming. "The
Jeffersons" would be replaced by "Cheers" in the fall of '88, the short-lived Bill Cosby vehicle,
"You Bet Your Life," in 1992, and "Cheers" would return shortly thereafter. KHQA returned to
clearing CBS at 10:35 when Letterman moved to the network in 1993. KHQA initially delayed
"The Late Late Show with Tom Snyder" to 1:05 AM, later moving it up to 12:05. KHQA would not
clear the entire CBS late-night line-up in pattern until Craig Kilborn took over "The Late Late
Show" from Tom Snyder in 1999.
1:00 CBS News Nightwatch (I guess KHQA was our first all-nighter)
KHQA was, indeed, the first all-nighter in the tri-states, at least on weeknights. "CBS News
Nightwatch" debuted in October of 1982, and KHQA carried all four hours from the beginning.
However, KHQA dropped the show and resumed signing off at night in the fall of 1986 when the
station decided to delay "CBS Late Night" to 11:00 to make room for "The Jeffersons" at 10:30.
KHQA resumed 24-hour broadcasting at some point in the mid-'90s. Ironically, WGEM declined
to carry the short-lived "NBC News Overnight" in 1982, which only aired for an hour beginning at
12:30. WGEM substituted a short, local, audio-only newscast over a station slide before signing
off. However, WGEM carried "NBC Nightside" from its debut in 1991 or so; WGEM has been a 24-
hour station ever since.

I believe The Jokers Wild was the last game show Cullen did before his death a few years later
( 1990 ).
Hot Potato had a very bizzare run in the Hampton Roads ( Norfolk-Portsmouth-Virginia Beach )
market when it was on the air. The local NBC affiliate WAVY-TV 10 aired Hot Potato at Noon and
only on Fridays. Monday thru Thursday WAVY aired their noon news at the time. Hot Potato was
nowhere to be seen at all on WAVY's Monday thru Thursday schedule.
Why WAVY did this and better yet, why did NBC allow it remains a TV mystery.

Thanks to all who contributed information. And SteveRichards, either you have an
EXTRAORDINARY memory, or you must have worked in broadcasting in this area. As I read, I
could feel the rusty cogs of my memory slowwwly turning, saying "Yeah, I remember
that.....well.....sorta ;D
Did Bert Convy also host the second version of "Tattletales"? I have no recollection of it, but by
the early 80's, with school, work, & partying I didn't see near as much TV of any kind as in the
70's. Also we got cable in late '82, and I steadily lost track of the locals from that point on.
I remeber those late-night sign off newscasts with the station ID slide. KHQA and WGEM both
did 'em, not sure about KTVO, I know they had an NMSU mens chorus doing the National
Anthem, then the quick shot of the guy throwing the "main disconnect" switch to turn the
station off for the night. Remember THAT?? ;D

I grew up in northeast Missouri, had a subscription to TV Guide, and probably watched way too
much TV!
Bert Convy hosted "Tattletales" in both CBS incarnations.
I don't recall KTVO doing any news before signing off back in those days, but they may have. I
have a vague memory of KHQA running "Studio 7" after "The CBS Late Movie" back in the late
'70s and very early '80s, and I think they followed that with local news. "Studio 7" was also aired
for a few years at 7:15AM (I think) following Chuck Kuppler's morning farm report, which was at
7AM. The hour-long CBS morning show (in whatever form) was carried live from the east coast
feed at 6AM. I don't think KHQA ever cleared "Sunrise Semester" from CBS.

I also vagueley remember "Studio 7" being shown after "CBS Late Movie". KHQA aired "Sunrise

It looks like the Herald was not updating their TV page all that much, back then. WXNE switched
to WFXT on January 19, 1987, upon consummation of the sale from CBN to FOX Television
Stations. "The Late Show with Joan Rivers" (already seen for months on all other FOX stations
and affiliates) did not air on Channel 25 until the day the station was sold. CBN refused to air it,
right to the end. It was just as well. The show s**ked.

Looks like I'm the one who actually made the mistake. It was refered
to correctly as WFXT, I just mistakenly put WXNE where WFXT should

be.

6:30 NBC News (Jessica Savitch)
The following October came her on-air meltdown and tragic death in a car wreck.
8 PM Bob Hope's All-Star Super Bowl Party
Corny as he was, I kinda miss ol' Mr. Hope
We first got cable in November '82, and I'm almost certain WTBS was part of the package from
the beginning. The wrestling (with Gordon Solie, I presume) was the best on tv at that time,
IMO...

I agree about Bob Hope. Although I didn't think
his shows from the '70s onward were as funny as
the ones from the '60s (or even his radio shows, and
that, IMO, was his true medium), it doesn't seem like
television without him.
Gordon Solie was doing Georgia Championship Wrestling
on WTBS in 1983, and I still think he was the best. I
still think Vince McMahon can't hold a candle to WCW
at its best.

Re: Retro: Western Il-Northeast MO Mon-Fri April 3-7, 1972
Thanks for posting! Good stuff!
I wonder if "Sunrise Semester" (at 6:20) was on a one-day delay or if KHQA was able to tape it
from the East Coast feed at 5:30 AM?
I knew that KTVO hung on to "As the World Turns" for a few years after going primary ABC; didn't
know they also hung on to "Search for Tomorrow."
What did "Tri-State Time" on KHQA at 3:30 consist of? Was that maybe a pre-cursor to "Studio
7"?
I didn't know that KHQA ever carried "The Mike Douglas Show"...interesting. Wonder why they
dropped it?
I think it's interesting that WGEM ran "The Jack LaLanne Show" twice, delaying "Dinah's Place" to
3:30. I remember WGEM running Dinah's syndicated show in the mid to late '70s. I see WGEM
also took a whole hour of local time at noon, pushing "Three on a Match" back to 4PM.

This schedule pretty much consists of my very earliest, most vague tv memories. Glad someone
besides me finds this stuff interesting!
I have no real recollection of "Sunrise Semester", apparently KHQA dropped it well before many
other CBS affiliates did.
I can only speculate that "Tri-State Time" was the forerunner of "Studio 7". I remember "The
Mike Douglas Show" being on, but no details whatsoever. I also vaguely remember Merv Griffin
being on in the 10:30-11:30 PM slot. To my knowledge, neither of the two were shown in this
market after the early '70s.
Was "Dinah's Place" an NBC product? I think WGEM had a thing for her, as they kept her syndie
show (60 or 90 min?) on for a lonnnng time. I remember when they finally cancelled Jack
LaLanne (along with "New Zoo Revue") to put on "Country Day" or something like that. WGEM's
great staff announcer Fred Colgan (who recently passed away) did a spot thanking viewers of the
two programs for their loyalty.
I wish there were websites dedicated to the old days of these stations, as there are for some
bigger market stations. I've pretty much scoured the web, and found very little...

The late-night "Merv Griffin Show" was from CBS...not sure if it went to 11:30 or midnight.
Johnny Carson was beating Merv pretty bad, so CBS replaced the show with "The CBS Late
Movie," I believe on Valentine's Day of 1972. Merv returned to syndication after that.
"Dinah's Place" was on NBC from 1970-74. I assume her syndicated show started shortly or right
after that.
I remember WGEM running "Country Day" weekdays at 6:25AM, followed by a local news
update right before "Today" at 6:55 (did they do a double-run at 9AM, too?). I think they
continued airing the show until NBC introduced "Early Today" in 1982 or so. KTVO also ran
"Country Day," I believe at 6:30AM. Like WGEM, I think KTVO scrapped the show when "ABC
World News This Morning" came along in the early '80s.

When did NBC feed Classroom--6-7am ET? 1-2pm? Was there
normally more than one "episode" available to air each day?
For a number of years CBS fed Sunrise Surprise* during the "dead"
half-hour 1-1:30pm ET, for airing the next morning.

In "The TV Schedule Book," Castleman and
Podrazik show "Sunrise Semester" airing at
1 PM on CBS for most of its run (12 Noon by
1980). But "Continental Classroom" is shown
airing on NBC 6-7 AM, so I'm assuming that
was the feed, rather than one the affiliates
taped for early-morning airing.
As for "Linkletter And The Kids," I don't know
anything about it--whether it was the best of
his "House Party" interviews with kids or a
completely separate program. I do know that
around 1963 Ch. 2 began rerunning "People Are
Funny" at 9:30 AM (interestingly, here at home,
Ch. 12 in Winston-Salem, also NBC, was rerunning
"People Are Funny" at the same time, and the two
CBS affiliates--WAGA and WFMY--were rerunning
John Guedel's third classic, syndicated as "Best Of
Groucho" (You Bet Your Life, of course) at 1 PM).
Rerto: Western IL-Northeast MO Sunday, April 5, 1970 Including WJJY Ch.14
This one includes the fabled, short-lived WJJY-TV, Channel 14 from Jacksonville, IL. It was on the
air from August 1969 to April 1971. I'm not old enough to really remember it, or if we even
received it here (approximately 100 miles west of Jacksonville), but given the wattage they used,
we probably could have. I believe my parents Magnavox console had UHF capabilities.

Nice to finally see a schedule from WJJY-TV. I think KTVO carried "Bonanza" from NBC till it was
canceled...I believe it was the last NBC show cleared by KTVO.

Re: Rerto: Western IL-Northeast MO Sunday, April 5, 1970 Including WJJY Ch.14
Here's a website devoted to the ill-fated WJJY-TV in Jacksonville from a former station employee:
http://www.brainmist.com/wjjy_tv/wjjy_tv.htm
Also, as the website stated, WJJY regarded themselves as a "Jacksonville-Springfield-Quincy"

station and covered parts of the Quincy and Champaign-Decatur-Springfield markets (although
I'm not exactly sure if Morgan County was still in the Quincy market during WJJY's two years on
the air as opposed to C-D-S today), even though the Illinois state capitol was adequately served
by their market's then-ABC affiliate, WAND-17 in Decatur (which flipped to NBC Sept. 5, 2005,
with ABC moving to WICS-20 Springfield and its sister station WICD-15 Champaign on that same
date). Ironically, WAND lost their transmitter in the same Easter 1978 central Illinois ice storm
(still talked about frequently here in Springfield) that claimed the then-defunct WJJY's tower
near Bluffs, IL.
Channel 14 in Jacksonville is now WSEC, a much lower-power PBS station that is the flagship of
the "Network Knowledge" group of PBS stations for western and west central Illinois (WSEC,
WQEC-27 Quincy, WMEC-22 Macomb; plus one translator on channel 8 in Springfield), with its
studios in Chatham, IL (an affluent Springfield suburb). Interestingly, had the old WJJY tower not
fallen there were efforts to get channel 14 back on the air on that old Bluffs tower as a PBS
station for the same area covered by the three separate stations and the Springfield translator,
plus additional coverage as far south as Alton and Litchfield, IL.
BTW, when did Morgan County, IL switch from the Quincy-Hannibal market to Champaign-
Decatur-Springfield? In addition, some websites have even put neighboring Cass County as part
of the Champaign-Decatur-Springfield market (although they are adequately covered by the
Springfield stations in the market), but Nielsen has always, IIRC, placed Cass in the Quincy-
Hannibal market.

Re: Retro: Atlanta Tuesday, October 23, 1962

...I seem to recall reading that "Tonight" went to color fairly early in the Jack Paar run, once it
appeared Paar was going to generate an audience for the thing that any of the three previous
incarnations (Steve Allen, Allen sharing split weeks with Ernie Kovacs, the Jack Lescoulie/Jazzbo

The Tonight Show was in color when Carson took over.
This may have been a misprint on TV Guide's part, since
both Channel 2 and Chattanooga's Channel 3 were capable
of airing NBC shows in color at the time (just as Channel 11
and Chattanooga's Channel 9 were with ABC).

I noticed that WAGA - Channel 5 (CBS) was also pre-empting CBS daytime reruns of I Love Lucy
and The Real McCoys.

Re: NBC November 14-16, 1988
Morning game shows were still in their heyday in '88, on NBC anyway. Now, you get what, 4
HOURS of "Today"??? :
I'd like to find a copy of "The Encyclopedia of Daytime Television". I've had the Tim Brooks-Earle
Marsh book for years, pretty much read it all...

NBC tried to give every black-and-white show
from about 1953 to 1961 at least one color airing,
and apparently this is the day they picked. I know
that this was the only time Groucho's show ever
aired in color, but (IIRC) the rerun is in black and
white (at least that's how I've seen it).

Any idea if he was wearing the infamous "Kirwood Derby"? ;D

I vagely remember Durward Kirby from the 60's (Who could forget that name?). Other than
appearing on the various game shows, what was his claim to fame?
Correction: Hennesey did not air on Ch. 11; I

don't know what I was looking at. It did air
on Ch. 9 at 10 AM, but 11's movie continued
until 10:25. Sorry for the error.

Durward Kirby was mainly known for his stints as co-host/second banana to Garry Moore on the
CBS Daytime (1950-58) and Primetime (1958-64) Garry Moore Variety Shows..He also had a long
run with Allen Funt on "Candid Camera"
And for those too young to get the other reference, the "Kerwood Derby" was the pun-ny prize
in a story line on "Rocky and Bullwinkle." Mr. Kirby apparently was not amused as he tried to sue
Jay Ward & Co. for defamation. (Some folks just take themselves WAY too seriously....) :

The "Kerwood Derby" was supposed to make
anyone who wore it the smartest person in
the world. When Durward Kirby threatened
to sue, Jay Ward egged him on to do it (great
publicity, you know). Does anyone know if
Kirby actually did sue?

Andre the Giant played Bigfoot in those $6M Man/Bionic Woman episodes.
What would be the exact date in 1976 for this video?
I don't know the exact date that this promo aired; I just form and post these schedules for that
day's programming according to the prime time shows aired that night.
I believe it was Sunday, September 19, 1976. That was when part 1
of the Bigfoot episode(on Six Million Dollar Man) aired.

With these two shows in addition to his editorial work for WRAL, J.D. Lewis I believe became one
of the most prominent black TV personalities in the Triangle, save maybe for WTVD's Ervin
Hester.
I know I asked a similar question on a previous post, but what was this show about?

..."Space Academy" was, IIRC, Pamelyn Ferdin's last crack at series television before retiring to
the world of medicine and animal welfare activism. And it also had James Doohan in a space
opera without that Scots accent that would never fool anyone on the other side of the
Atlantic ;-) ...
...perhaps "Next Step Beyond" would have worked if they called the thing "Alcoa Presents
Again"? No? Okeh, never mind...
...I know that the WTCG wrestling was Georgia Championship, and I'm assuming the WDCA
wrestling was WWWF from New York. Would all the rest be Crockett's Mid-Atlantic NWA
affiliate?...
..."Twiggy's Jukebox" was a rather odd item. American International Pictures TV had acquired the
U.S. rights to "SuperSonic," a marvelous little glam rock series produced a few years earlier by
London Weekend in the UK (a synopsis of the October 25, 1975 broadcast is on the British Film
Institute's website at http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/631854?view=synopsis). The original series
had run in the U.S. in syndication in '76 and '77 (I caught it on Friday nights on both WFLD/32
Chicago and WLUK/11 Green Bay during that run). Seeing that Twiggy had appeared on the
program a few times, someone at AIPTV got the idea of having her do links inbetween assorted
performances from different episodes and put out a dozen weeks' worth of the show. Interesting
problem -- very few of the songs performed had been hits in the United States, and of those that
had been (for example, David Essex's "Rock On"), the hits were often five or six years old by this
time. Thus, what we got in '78-'79 was a batch of British rock bands that were no longer together
being introduced by a model-turned-singer whose two albums of the period stiffed badly in the
United States. "Twiggy's Jukebox" was on WISN-TV/12 Milwaukee doring the '78-'79 season. In
'79, "Jukebox" (sans Twiggy) became a standard music video clip show with links by Britt Ekland
(recently split from Rod Stewart, then dating Bay City Roller Les McKeown), and limped along for
a few more weeks; I don't think the Ekland version even made it through to the summer of
1980...
...and speaking of the Bay City Rollers, comedy/comicbook writer Mark Evanier, who wrote for
"The Bay City Rollers Show," has written somewhere on his blog http://newsfromME.com about
how he found out that NBC, without his (or producers Sid & Marty Krofft's, for that matter)
knowledge, were running and running and rerunning the seven or eight episodes that were
produced of this thing all the way into 1983 or so. I've tried to search his blog for the story but
can't locate it; maybe someone else here can...
..."Marlo & The Magic Movie Machine" was a dynamite little kiddie show that recycled old
educational film shorts into an entertaining format. WFSB-TV Hartford was where it originated...
...The Bela Lugosi 1931 version of DRACULA was the original English-language version. Of course,
the story had been pirated by German director F.W. Murnau for his landmark silent movie
NOSFERATU, and there was a Spanish-language version produced by Universal (using the same
sets) simultaneously -- Lugosi and company during the day, the Spanish cast later the same
nights -- that is actually visually better than the Lugosi version...
...there were still stations rerunning "The Mothers-In-Law" in 1978??!?...
...and that's an interesting note about WRET -- I thought only clowns like me could handle "The
Bay City Rollers Show," wrestling and a prestegious documentary series like "The World at War"
in a single 8-hour stretch ...

I think "Curious Kaleidoscope" was some sort
of religious program; I never saw it. In fact,

I wasn't living in North Carolina in the '70s.
J.D. Lewis first made his name as host of
WRAL's "Teenage Frolics," which by 1978
looked an awful lot like "Soul Train" (I did
see it while visiting here from Texas, although
I used to watch it in the '60s).
The wrestling shows on the North Carolina
stations were Crockett's, except (I remember
reading somewhere) that WCTI carried Nick
Gulas' shows, probably out of Nashville. He
sometimes booked cards in eastern North Carolina,
although his principal territory was Tennessee/Kentucky/
northern Alabama.
I didn't know about the foreign-language versions of
"Dracula" that preceded Bela Lugosi's. My only familiarity
with silent-era European films is the great "The Cabinet
Of Dr. Caligari," from Germany in 1919. Thanks for the info.
WXIA/11 Alive was running "The Mothers-In-Law" in
out-of-the-way time slots like 5:30 AM in the 1980s.

Do you have the October 28-November 3 1978 issue of TV Guide? If so,
could you post the schedules for Friday 11/3/78? That was when Diff'rent
Strokes debuted on NBC.

Hospital" at the 2.30 and 3.15 pm ET (1.30 and 2.15 pm CT) slots back in 1976?
2. What NBC stations didn't clear "Wheel of Fortune" and "Hollywood Squares" in 1976?
3. Even though Crosley/Avco sold WLWI (now WTHR) in 1974, WLWC (now WCHM) and WOAI in
1975, and WLWT and WLWD (now WDTN) in 1976, the stations still aired the "Phil Donahue
Show" (1967-96) at 9 am ET and "Bob Braun" (1967-84) at 12 pm ET in 1976. Does anyone know
why? Was any of these shows seen outside of the former Crosley/Avco family?

It would be nice, though, if the whole schedule is listed, instead of just the network programs.

3. Even though Crosley/Avco sold WLWI (now WTHR) in 1974, WLWC (now WCHM) and WOAI in
1975, and WLWT and WLWD (now WDTN) in 1976, the stations still aired the "Phil Donahue
Show" (1967-96) at 9 am ET and "Bob Braun" (1967-84) at 12 pm ET in 1976. Does anyone know
why? Was any of these shows seen outside of the former Crosley/Avco family?
I can answer at least that much. Both Donahue and Braun originated as Avco programs but
Donahue was more widely syndicated. I think that after the sale Bob Braun picked up a few more
stations but Donahue had more and once it grew, he left Dayton for Chicago and later New York
and it became truly nationwide.
When the Crosley stations were sold, multiple ownership and overlap considerations dictated
that they could not be sold as a block. I think that as a part of the sale agreement though the
buyers were obligated to carry Braun and Donahue both on the stations that they had purchased
at least for some period of time. That time may have lapsed when Braun was finally canceled. By
the way the demise of BB and move of Donahue eventually gave WLWT the bug to create
another local show which gave birth to Jerry Springer and the rest is history. Spinger started out
to be more serious like Donahue or maybe Sally Jessy Raphael but it was tanking so the circus
acts were the attempt to salvage it.
I lived in Columbus until 1979 and do not recall any special channel. I lived in the Grandview
Heights area and had Warned Cable. Channel 3 was like public access and usually had a text
message board. One other system in the central city area had a camera trained on some weather
instruments on channel 3.
I remember that there was a lot of animosity between the local stations and cable so they
usually asserted their rights to shows that were not on the lineup, so long as they owned the
right to broadcast them if they wanted. That made me quite angry because WBNS had the local
rights to Star Trek (the original NBC series) and it came on cable from Channel 19 (WXIX) from
Cincinnati in the afternoon. Warner was ordered to block it and they picked up some kind of
local movie show from WKEF in Dayton as a replacement rather than putting up the "Sorry"
slide. When confronted WBNS management said that they had no immediate plans to actually
air it but go pound sand and leave us alone. I actually went to a city council meeting with several
others to protest but got the same kind of answer as the city said they had no control over
programming, just the franchise areas.

Braun did pick up several non-Avco/Crosley
stations. Among those that come to mind:
WHAS, then WDRB Louisville
WLEX Lexington, KY
WSAZ Huntington, WV
WZTV Nashville
WBIR Knoxville
even WLFL in Raleigh carried him for a time
When Multimedia bought WLWT, they wanted
to syndicate him but he refused, because he'd
have had to stop using local talent, which (to
him) was what the show was really all about.
As for Donahue (and somebody correct me on
this), I think the first stations outside the Avco/
Crosley group to pick him up were the Storer
stations. I remember WAGA picking him up in
December 1970, and WJBK Detroit may have picked
him up around the same time.

Re: Retro: Kentucky Friday, April 12, 1963
WOW, thanks for that. I haven't thought of Discovery '63 since 1963! I still remember the theme
song, but not the host. I looked it up and see that Hal Holbrook hosted one show. Do you
remember? I remember one show being about Telestar. In retrospect, how fresh and exciting
things seemed to be before the JFK's assassination.
Great, great, great, great, great, great grandson of Mike Mercury. Never pick your
nose while driving over a bump.

Frank Buxton and Virginia Gibson were the
original hosts of "Discovery." In 1964 he was
host of the game show "Get The Message" (and
was replaced about halfway through the run by
Robert Q. Lewis) and was replaced on "Discovery"
by Bill Owen, who had been the show's announcer
(Owen and Gibson stayed until the end, 1971). Interestingly,

Buxton and Owen co-authored a history of network
radio, "The Big Broadcast." Buxton, a standup comedian
before "Discovery," also wrote a number of scripts for
"The Odd Couple" in the '70s. (For whatever it's worth,
Virginia Gibson also had a performing career; she was
a regular on "Your Hit Parade" around 1957.)
Hal Holbrook would have made an excellent choice for host,
if his schedule had permitted. As it is, he hosted ABC's
attempt to revive "Omnibus" as a series of specials in
the early '80s.

WAGA used to carry that, but I wasn't living in
that part of the country then. Too bad I missed it.
Wasn't it called "Batfink And Ronald"?

You seem to be thinking of "Roland and Ratfink" produced by DePatie/Freleng from 1968-71
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_and_Ratfink
Batfink was a costumed crime fighter..As I said, a takeoff on "Batman"..His assistant was named
"Karate"..He drove around in the "Batallac"..
It was syndicated as part of Kid Shows all over the country..

Re: Southern Ohio Daytime 1968
The Dayton stations were still in that mess of all of them affiliating with everyone and
cherrypicking the network schedules, I suppose with 7 getting the first-round draft picks and 22
getting the scraps. This was all straightened out a few years later. It looks like 7 carried more CBS
than anything else during the day and had kind of a late signon. I used to be able to pcik up
channel 7 from Wheeling WV before 7's sign on.

It appears that KTBY was indeed the first station in Alaska to broadcast 24 hours a day by the late
'80s.
As for the rest of the schedule? KTVA seemed to be heavy on movies on Saturday nights, and
KTUU was the only one with local news at 6:00. At least it was all about variety compared to
Fairbanks.

That NFL game on NBC would not have been a playoff game. Not before Christmas, even back
then.

Went back two years further from my last Mon-Fri post, I remember this schedule fairly good for

CBS didn't start airing game shows again until 1972 when The Joker's Wild and Gambit
premiered.

Don't forget that "The (New) Price is Right" began on that same day in 1972, with Joker and
Gambit.
Of course, before then, CBS had a short-lived daytime gamer in early-1972 -- "The Amateur's
Guide to Love", starring Gene Rayburn.

Although KTVO was now a primary ABC affiliate, the station was apparently delaying 3 ABC
shows till later in the afternoon to take the "live" feed of some CBS soaps (and also "All My
Children" to do a noon newscast). I see they were also clearing "Jeopardy!" from NBC at 11:00,
pre-empting "The Best of Everything" from ABC all together, although that show only lasted 6
months. Typically, an affiliate would clear the "live" feed of the primary network and delay the
shows from the secondary network(s). KTVO also had quite a hodgepodge between 7:15 and
9:30.
Looks like KHQA was clearing the entire CBS schedule (even "Sunrise Semester") in pattern.
WGEM was delayng Linkletter (on NBC at 12:30) till 4:00 so it could run a second airing of Jack
LaLanne at 12:30.
Again, nice to see a WJJY schedule, although the station seemed to be a bit of a joke outside of
the ABC line-up, even clearing instructional programming from WILL-TV in Urbana from 9 to 10.

Re: CBS Schedule Friday, May 4, 1984 (with YouTube link)
Wasn't there a 6am feed of Early Morning News as well? Just curious how many stations actually
cleared Tattletales at 4pm? Seems like all teh CBS affiliates I'm familiar with were into their
Oprah, or whatever by 4.

Yes, but I put down the later feed, 'cause that's how I roll.

Oprah didn't premiere until 1986 FYI.

True. But whatever syndicated stuff was available, seemed like they started running at 4 by then.
Could be wrong.

CBS also fed the 4:00/3:00 Central show at noon, at least they were by the time "Body
Language" was on...I know because my local affiliate accidentally put it on once for a few
seconds. Some of the CBS O&O's aired the 4PM show at noon, too.
ABC "Operation Daytime" in 1958
All I would like to know is what the schedule was like in New York on the week on October 13-17,
1958, when ABC introduced its disastrous attempt to expand its then-small daytime lineup
consisting of "Mickey Mouse Club", "American Bandstand", and "Who Do You Trust."

Re: ABC "Operation Daytime" in 1958
"Operation Daybreak." I don't know what
filled the 1:30 and 2:30 slots on Channel 7,
but here was the network lineup:
11 AM Day In Court (best-known time slot
was 2 PM; in all, lasted until 1965)
11:30 Peter Lind Hayes Show

12:30 Mother's Day (Dick Van dyke hosted
a stunt show based on household
activities. He once said that he was
so embarrassed doing this show that
afterward he'd go to all the theaters
and read for parts. When he got "Bye
Bye Birdie," his game-show hosting days
ended for good.)
1 PM The Liberace Show (no wonder it didn't
last--can you imagine Liberace in a
regular suit?)
1:30 (Local)
2 PM Chance For Romance (John Cameron
Swayze proved to be no Jim Lange in
this "Dating Game" forerunner, and the
show was the first to be canceled, in
December. He did a short stint anchoring
ABC's newscast around 1960, then enjoyed
his greatest fame (to baby boomers) selling
watches that "take a licking and keep on
ticking.")
2:30 (Local)
3 PM Beat The Clock (moving from CBS)
5:30 Mickey Mouse Club (Mon/Wed/Fri)/
Walt Disney's Adventure Time (reruns of
the serials like Spin & Marty) (Tue/Thu)
I wouldn't call it a complete disaster. The 11:30-2:30
block wasn't much, and "The Mickey Mouse Club" was
probably on its way out, but "Beat The Clock" lasted until
1961, and when WRAL went to ABC in 1962 "Day In Court,"
"Who Do You Trust?", and "American Bandstand" were still
on the air.

"Operation Daybreak." I don't know what
filled the 1:30 and 2:30 slots on Channel 7.
That was what I was specifically trying to find out. I was hoping that you would have at least
posted WABC's schedule for that particular week, but thanks.

Sorry, but I don't have the New York schedules
for that week. Perhaps someone else does.
I can understand why ABC didn't program 1:30;
nobody was going to beat "As The World Turns."
But ABC could have taken on Art Linkletter at
2:30 and, in fact, did in 1959 with "Music Bingo"
(hosted by "Jeopardy!" announcer Johnny Gilbert)
and then with reruns of "The Gale Storm Show."
50 Years Ago: Fall 1958
RALfan's thread on ABC's 1958 "Operation Daybreak"
gave me the idea to post the networks' fall 1958
schedules, somewhat earlier than I normally do for
50 years back.

Re: 50 Years Ago: Fall 1958
I had mentioned this a few years back, but speaking of The Sunday afternoon 1958 schedule..The
Pittsburgh stations didnt carry several of the regular News and Public Affairs Network Shows..So
Educational Station WQED-TV 13, in a unique situation, picked up many of them..Here is a
sampling from Sunday, May 11, 1958..
2:30 College News Conference-ABC
3PM Johns Hopkins-ABC
3:30 Bishop Dean Pike-ABC
4PM Open Hearing-ABC
4:30 Face The Nation-CBS
5PM Ceiling Unlimited-CBS (Special)
5:55 CBS News-Harry Reasoner-CBS
6PM Last Word-CBS
6:25 CBS News-Robert Trout-CBS
6:30 Outlook-Chet Huntley-NBC
WTAE-TV 4 came on the air later in 1958, so presumably the ABC shows went there..

What a difference a half-century makes. It's almost like a completely different world. Hard for me
to fathom that I'm old enough to both remember these shows and actually have watched them.

interesting that CBS was willing to put NHL Hockey head-to-head against college football on
Saturdays.
I love hockey, but networks today will clear air time for it only if the competition is running
Synchronized Swimming and Butt-Blaster infomercials. Was it a better draw in the 50's when the
NHL had only four teams based in the US?

CBS had hockey until 1961, then didn't touch
it again until 1967, so I doubt if the ratings were
all that much to write home about. In fact, not
a single CBS affiliate in North Carolina carried
hockey in the late '50s/early '60s; UNC's upset

win over Kansas in the 1957 NCAA basketball
championship put college basketball on the map
here, and the CBS stations were quick to cash
in on an ACC game of the week during the winter
months.
I do believe, though, that college football was
still a bigger draw than the NFL, although 1958
was the year that changed with what some still
call "the greatest game ever played": the Giants-
Colts NFL championship game.

Another ho-hum schedule from 1988. I have nothing else to say.
Jonathan Allen
I was stationed at Eielson AFB, about 30 miles east of Fairbanks back in 1972-73. Back then they
didn't have satellites for TV there so the network shows were mailed up and aired about a
month later. Yes the Christmas shows aired there in January. The exceptions to this was the news
which was flown up from the lower 48 so that Walter Cronkite read you yesterday's news. Also
major sporting events like the World Series and the Super Bowl were flown up the next day,
making radio a big player then as radio network programming came live over phone lines, which
meant you could listen to the Super Bowl on the radio live and then watch it the next day on TV.
Back then there were only the two commercial TV stations and the PBS affilitate. KJNP "only"
had a 50KW AM station. Their signal really went out great up there as there was literally no
interference on the AM dial then as there were only 5 AM stations on the dial (2 rock, 1 country,
1 religious [KJNP], and the Armed Forces Radio Station at Eielson, at which I worked). The
stations were well spaced out on the dial and there literally was no static at all, like an FM dial.
The FM and TV stations were added later to KJNP. Also when the commercial TV stations signed
off at night around midnight, rather than play the national anthem they'd play a 78 rpm
recording (it was very scratchy like a 78 would sound) of the Alaska state song with a slide of the
state flag showing on the screen. Ah, time marches on.
If you note the schedules I've been posting from the '70s, Channels 2 and 11 signed off at way
past midnight, sometime 1:00 or 2:00 am.
Also, KUAC was the only FM station in Fairbanks until KAYY (now KAKQ) 101.1 signed on in 1981.
KQRZ and KSUA would later follow, and in 1987 Bill Walley (owner of KFAR radio and Fairbanks
City Mayor at the time) launched KWLF-FM. It quickly became the #1 music station in Fairbanks,
mostly thanks to the "Wake-Up Call" morning show with Glen "Glenner" Anderson and Jerry
Evans.
In 1989, KQRZ left the air, leaving the 102.5 frequency available to KIAK so they would finally
move their country format there. The following year, Northern Television (then-owners of KTVF)
started KXLR 95.9 to go along with KCBF; KUWL 103.9 "Cool Country" (later "Kool FM" with an
oldies format and now KTDZ "Ted FM") would later follow in 1996.
Finally, in 1998, KUAC-FM moved to 89.9 with KKED ("The Edge") taking the 104.7 slot, and
Northern Television sold KCBF, KXLR, and KUWL to what they're now New Northwest
Broadcasters, owners of KWLF and KFAR.

Re: RETRO: Fairbanks, Alaska (August 9, 1988)
CLARIFICATION AND CORRECTION: KCBF's old calls and frequency when they signed on in the
'40s (they were the second radio station in Fairbanks after KFAR) was KFRB AM 900; it became
KCBF AM 820 in 1981. Formats have changed there over the years; now, they're an ESPN Radio
affiliate. I didn't move back to Fairbanks until August 1992, so KXLR was new to me (I think they
signed on in late 1990 after KTVF/KCBF moved to their current digs off Van Horn Road)...as was
the months old KFXF Fox 7.
And New Northwest Broadcasters have always owned KUWL/KTDZ, though they would later
acquire KCBF and KXLR from Northern Television.

Awful Saturday lineup for 1990, I must say. No American Gladiators, no Siskel & Ebert, and of

those for them.
But living in Mississippi at the time, I was already set.

I wonder why WKRC in Cincinatti and WLKY in Louisville didn't clear The Dating Game.
Was this the last week that CBS aired Search For Tomorrow and Guiding Light as 15 minute
shows?
And speaking of Wedding Party, Alan Hamel's next game show on ABC would be called The
Anniversary Game. How long did The Anniversary Game last on ABC?

Probably the 4 PM time slot was too valuable;
we had stations farther south that didn't carry
it at 4 either.
This was not the last week that SFT and GL
aired for 15 minutes. Both shows expanded to
30 minutes on Sept. 9.
The Anniversary Game was actually a syndicated
show, distributed by what was then called ABC Films
and produced at KGO San Francisco. In 1969 ABC

was pressing its o&os to develop shows with syndication
potential, but this was the only one that got on the air.
I remember seeing the show briefly in 1969 on CBS affiliates
WFMY Greensboro, NC, and WSPA Spartanburg, SC, and as
late as the fall of 1970 on then-ABC affiliate WQXI (WXIA)
Atlanta, but I don't think it lasted past 1970.
BTW, Alan Hamel met his future wife, Suzanne Somers, on
Anniversary Game; she was the model. He also hosted a
talk show, Mantrap, produced by Dick Clark, in 1971. The
format was similar to the '50s hit Leave It To The Girls, with
a male guest being subject to a grilling (and insults) from a
panel of women. I first heard of Margot Kidder on this show;
she appeared on the panel from time to time.

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati/Evansville Monday, April 25, 1960
This listing reminds me of how the Radio-TV page of the Louisville Courier-Journal looked about
this same time. In being Kentucky's daily newspaper back then, the Courier-Journal included
stories, features and listings from a wide area. In keeping with that, they included almost every
TV station that their readers could receive. That included TV from: Louisville, Lexington,
Cincinnati, Evansville and even Cape Girardeau, Missouri. That station was KFVS, Channel 12.
When I would see that station listed, I realized just how wide the Commonwealth of Kentucky
was - reaching from Virginia and West Virginia on the east to Missouri on the west. I also
remember that section back then would list the programming for WLW Radio in Cincinnati
whose signal could be heard in those many towns as well.

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati/Evansville Monday, April 25, 1960
I think they also carried the listings for WSM radio
in Nashville. I remember TV listings for Knoxville,
Nashville, Bristol, and Johnson City as well as those
you mentioned.
So, Louisville, a top 50 market, had no ABC affiliate whatsoever in 1960. I guess that explains
how WLKY/32 was able to come in about 1961 or 62 with a brand new UHF with a full time ABC
affiliation. Am I correct in assuming Louisville was the only market in the late 50s up until the
mid 60s where a UHF was able to set up shop in a previously all VHF market? Did people rush
out and buy UHF capable TVs or converters and was WLKY successful within a reasonable length
of time?
There was an attempt for UHF before Channel 32, WKLO radio signed on Channel 21 in the early
50's. WKLO-TV was short lived for all the reasons UHF failed in the beginning. WLKY signed on in
the early 60's (1961 I believe) and was more aggressive in promotion and making sure there
were UHF tuners available. By the end of the decade Channel 32 had carved itself a share of the
audience against two VHF. WLKY's success was the reason the company who eventually put
WDRB on the air considered Louisville. Since Channel 32 had lead the way for UHF viewers the
new Channel 41 could, in essence, ride along side their success and did.

Question for someone who's been around Atlanta
television longer than I have: Why do Atlanta
viewers seem to have a desire for movies in
early-Saturday-evening slots? I remember back
in 1969 and 1970 Ch. 11 had the "Saturday 6:30
Movie," here we see a 6:30 movie on Ch. 46, and
in the '90s (maybe in the '00s) Ch. 36 had one at
6 PM.

Re: Retro: Atlanta Saturday, May 17, 1975
What I was trying to figure out is why it's listed
on a delay Saturday at 7:30 AM, then at the
network-scheduled time of Sunday at 10:30 AM
on Channel 11. WXIA didn't start dropping Sunday
kids' shows before the fall of '75, at least.

Yeah, but it could be the "Crossroads" show from Canada that would become the daily "100
Huntley Street" program in 1977. And if it is, I'm sure David Mainse must've tried hard to get any
U.S. stations to carry it.

Re: Retro: Atlanta Sunday, October 6, 1974
Possible, or it could have been a local
program of some kind that aired on both
11 and 46. I can't imagine 11 putting a
religious program between a block of
public-affairs programs and a double-feature
movie, so I'm still guessing that 11's was a
local thing, and 46's was the Canadian program
you mentioned (Pat Robertson may have been
an easy sell for the Canadian you mentioned).

Frankly, I remember absolutely nothing about
either station's Crossroads so I'm making an
educated guess as to what they were.

12 N News
12:30 Search For Tomorrow (CBS had two feeds
at this point, on a clock-time schedule for

the Eastern and Central time zones, since
Y&R usually aired at 1 PM ET/11 AM CT.)
There was only one feed at this point. CBS moved Y&R to Noon CT when the show was expanded
to an hour. It was fairly common for affiliates in the Central Time Zone to show Y&R on a one-day
delay at 11AM. CBS aired "Search for Tomorrow" nationally at 11:30 CT. Many stations, as did
KDFW, did a same-day tape delay on SfT to 12:30. After lackluster ratings, CBS moved Y&R to
11:30 CT and SfT moved to 1:30. Many CT stations continued to run Y&R on a one-day delay at
11 until CBS introduced the Y&R split feed (11 or 11:30) in 1982.

What memories, One question, I see news at 4:30am on KDFW. Anyone remember if that was
local or CBS news. Also KDFW ran reruns of All In The Family up to the early 90s and was then
replaced by The Golden Girls.

KDFW - Channel 4 (CBS)
3:30 PM One Day At A Time

This was CBS' daytime reruns of the show and a 30 minute delay as it was shown at 3:00 PM
Central Time at this time before CBS moved it to mornings at 9:00 AM a year later.
KXAS - Channel 5 (NBC)
9:00 AM Charlie Rose
9:30 AM Donahue
I see that Card Sharks wasn't even shown in Dallas because it aired in the mornings at that time.
WFAA - Channel 8 (ABC)
9:30 AM Edge Of Night
One day delay, I think, from 3:00 PM Central

A few answers:
1. No, I don't have any DFW editions from 1985-87
but I'm always on the lookout for them.
2. I think Channel 4's 4:30 AM newscast was local,
since CBS didn't have an overnight newscast at
the time, and the only early-morning newscast
was "Morning."
3. I had left Dallas and gone back to the Eastern time
zone by this time, although I remember now that someone
else mentioned the one-day delay of Y&R in the Central
time zone at the time. At least CBS didn't take as long
to get the Y&R/SFT situation straight as it did putting Guiding
Light's morning stations on same-day as the afternoon ones.
4. I had to leave Dallas and move back to Greenville, SC before
I saw Card Sharks. KXAS never, to my knowledge, carried it
at 9 AM.
5. It's been nearly thirty years since I left Dallas, and I had
always thought Edge Of Night came on at 3 PM on WFAA
right to the end. But Channel 8 wasn't doing anything
unusual; in Atlanta, WXIA carried it a day behind at 10:30
(and WSB at 9:30 when they went to ABC), while in Greenville

WLOS didn't carry it at all. It's been said that the cancellation
of EON was an agreement between ABC and Procter & Gamble,
since several stations planned to drop the show the first week
in January 1985 (that from Wikipedia, if you trust it).
I was working at WGHP Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point
back in 1982 and '83, when the station was still an ABC affiliate.
One afternoon I was talking with my supervisor and noticed Edge
on the screen. I did a double-take, since we pre-empted Edge and
ran People's Court at 4 PM. Turns out he had a special set that
picked up the network feed. At any rate, I asked him if they got
a lot of complaints when Edge switched networks (it had always
done well on CBS affiliate WFMY), and he emphatically said yes.
(WFMY could have kept Edge when WGHP turned it down, as
several CBS affiliates did.)

I think KDFW/4's 4:30 a.m. newscast was a replay of the 10 p.m. newscast.
6-8 a.m. was the East Coast feed for Morning and Captain Kangaroo.
11 a.m. Y&R was actually the same day's episode. Before the satellite split-feeds, CBS prefed it at
around 3 a.m. Central for stations that wanted to run it at 11 instead of 11:30. (As I've written
before, probably boring some of you to death, the station I worked for, KXII, picked up KDFW's
off-air feed from 11-12 for Y&R, since no one was at the station for the prefeed. The off air signal
looked pretty bad. Eventually we rigged up a VTR to record the prefeed, and just used KDFW for
backup.)
WFAA/8 eventually dropped The Edge of Night altogether. During General Hospital, they would
always cover Edge promos with a local news promo, although sometimes you'd see a second or
two of the Edge promo slip through.

IIRC, KDFI/27 picked up Edge Of Night during its
last few months and ran it at 9:30 AM.

At WGHP, when an Edge promo came on (say,
during General Hospital), we'd put up a graphic:
"This show will not be seen on TV8."

Now that you mention it, Newsmark, I remember you telling us about the 3AM pre-feed of Y&R.
It was pretty obvious my local CBS affiliate at the time was showing Y&R on a one-day delay, as
they would cover CBS promos for shows airing "tonight," etc. with generic CBS News promos.
Occasionally, a CBS promo for a show that actually aired the night before would slip through.

Guess they didn't have an overnight person to do the recording, either. I can only imagine the
headache of covering all of those promos to keep them from running AFTER the show they were
promoting--especially on those stations that tape-delayed a lot of shows.

I almost forgot that John Tesh had done some network sports like that! As for the football stuff,
the Patriots would beat the Raiders...and then the Dolphins (GULP!) to get into Super Bowl XX.

11:30 Tonight Show (Ch. 13 and, later,
KARE/11 Minneapolis-St. Paul were
the only stations allowed to delay
Carson)
...are you sure of that? Seems to me that WTMJ-TV/4 Milwaukee also pushed Carson back at
some point in the '80s, perhaps leading to then-indie WVTV/18 picking it up. That, in turn, made
WVTV the only independent station to carry all three of the major networks' 1969 offerings --
ABC's Joey Bishop, CBS' Merv Griffin and NBC's Carson -- in network pattern, IIRC...
Absolutely. This quirk dates back to the '60s, when then WAPI-TV was dual CBS/NBC.
For a long time, 13 didn't air Carson at all, and then WBMG-42 started clearing it ca. 1966. When
13 picked it up, it was at 1130. Without any late '60s TV GUIDEs within reach at the moment
(correct me if I'm off here, bpatrick), I suspect it was to allow for an extra hour's worth of
network shows.
After May 31, 1970, when B'ham television went to one station-one network, 13 continued the
one-hour delay with syndie shows in the 10:00 slot, followed by news at 11. This continued well
into the '80s, if not '90s, before "Tonight" began airing in pattern in B'ham.
--Russell
Russell is right about Channel 13 airing another hour of network programming between 10-11
CT before they became an exclusive NBC affiliate. And by the way---not only did WBMG-42 air
Carson prior to becoming an exclusive CBS station, but so too did WCFT-33 in Tuscaloosa and
WHMA-40 in Anniston. IIRC, 33, 40, and 42 had the same prime-time schedule 7 days week,
meaning that when one station aired a CBS or NBC program out of pattern, all three did.
Another Birmingham quirk of 60's and into the early or mid 70's---both Channel 13 and WBRC-6
aired their late night news at 11:00 back in those days...wonder how many other Central time
zone markets did the same thing? Even after becoming an NBC-only station and moving its late
news to 10:00 PM, Channel 13 aired an hour of syndicated reruns from 10:30-11:30, including
"M*A*S*H", "All in the Family", "Taxi", "Carol Burnett and Friends", and "The Jeffersons", (later
10:35-11:35). This continued until either '94 or '95...just before Channel 13 became an NBC O &
O.

Re: Retro: Northern Alabama Wednesday, June 6, 1973
First, IIRC WTMJ dropped Carson in favor of "Thicke
Of The Night" in 1983, which is how WVTV acquired
Carson in Milwaukee, at least temporarily since Alan
Thicke's show was one of television's great disasters.
Also, IIRC, Carson was already being aired on delay in
the Twin Cities at the time.
As for the weird scheduling in Birmingham, when I
moved there in the summer of 1969 WAPI and WBMG
were still splitting CBS and NBC; Carson was on WBMG
at 10:30, and Merv Griffin (on CBS at the time) wasn't
carried in Birmingham at all. WAPI did schedule an
extra hour of entertainment shows from 10 to 11 (I
remember Hee Haw and Mannix airing on delay in 10 PM
slots), followed by news at 11 and a movie at 11:30.
WBRC, by that time, was running its news at 10 but then
followed with movies or syndicated fare, so Joey Bishop
tended to come on at a different time every night (WFAA
Dallas used to do the same thing with Wide World Of Entertainment).
In the years before I moved there, WBRC did have an 11 PM newscast

that ran about 10 minutes before Alfred Hitchcock Presents came on.
But when WAPI became exclusive NBC, and WBMG (and WCFT
and WHMA) exclusive CBS, Merv began airing at 10:30 in Birmingham,
Tuscaloosa, and Anniston, while WAPI stuck to its practice of (now
syndicated) entertainment shows from 10 to 11. While in the '80s
13 moved its news to 10, it ran reruns of All In The Family, M*A*S*H,
etc., from 10:30 to 11:30. I don't think it began running The Tonight
Show at 10:30 until it became an NBC o&o.
Russell can correct me on this, but I think ABC put the pressure on
WBRC (and every other affiliate that was delaying it) to carry Nightline
at 10:30 as well; it did carry Koppel at that
time in the later years of its ABC affiliation, as ABC33/40 does now
(and here's one to chew on: ABC33/40 was carrying Jimmy Kimmel
long before he was finally picked up in supposedly-sophisticated
Atlanta).
I speak from experience when I say that Birmingham is the most
peculiar market I've ever lived in, so anything their stations did or
do is just par for the course.

I see the youtube.com link came from Philadelphia. Anyways, what was the show mentioned at
the very end with Dick Clark? Was it Philadelphia-only?
"Dick Clark's Nitetime" was the ageless legend's syndicated late-night weekend clone of
American Bandstand which lasted only one season on the air. What is notable, at least to me, is
that it gave Clark the distinction of hosting programs on all three networks and syndication:
Bandstand on ABC (host/producer), The $25K Pyramid on CBS (host), TV's Bloopers and Practical
Jokes on NBC (co-host with Ed McMahon/co-producer with Johnny Carson), and The $100K
Pyramid (host) and Dick Clark's Nitetime both in syndication. That I believe was eight hours of
exposure a week.

Speaking of WVEC, I wonder why they and the other Norfolk area stations, their listings didn't
appear in this edition of TV Guide?
Back in 1984 late one night I caught the sign-off of both WAVY and WVEC and both stations at
the time claimed that their listings appeared in the Raleigh local newspaper. Plus a good chunk
of North Carolina such as the Outer Banks falls within the Norfolk DMA and I would imagine
their stations could be received way beyond that area too.

There was a time in the mid-1950s when TV Guide
had a Virginia-Carolina edition, consisting of Norfolk,
Richmond/Petersburg, Roanoke/Lynchburg, Raleigh/
Durham, and Greensboro/Winston-Salem. As more
stations came on the air, this edition was broken up
into North Carolina, Eastern Virginia, and Central
Virginia.
But to answer your question, TV Guide had a policy
that a station had to reach at least 15% of an edition's
coverage area in order to be included. As the North
Carolina edition was constituted, Norfolk stations would
not qualify (although the News and Observer did list
Chs. 3, 10, and 13). TV Guide also liked to keep a
manageable number of stations (South Georgia Edition
excepted, but there are a lot of stations close together
down there, so there was no way to divide it up). In
1980 it split two editions (North Carolina and Carolina-
Tennessee) into five: Eastern North Carolina, Charlotte
(later Central North Carolina), Greenville/Spartanburg/
Asheville, Bristol/Kingsport/Johnson City (and don't ask
why a market that small would have its own edition),
and Knoxville/Chattanooga.
I wish Norfolk had been included in the North Carolina

Edition myself, but Albemarle Sound was the dividing line
between North Carolina and Eastern Virginia, and everything
north of that line got Eastern Virginia.

coverage area in order to be included.
Of course, historically the problem with TVG editions were not only that some of them covered a
huge geographic area, but that aspects of terrain and propagation meant that TV signals are no
respecters of arbitrary lines drawn by people.
This was especially a problem if you lived on the edges/fringes of a particular edition. I've
mentioned before here the anomaly of the Montreal-St. Lawrence edition being sold in the area
of East Central Vermont where my grandparents had their summer cottage. The center of that
edition's coverage was well north of them -- in fact, they were probably on the
southeasterrnmost fringe of that edition's circulation. The result, of course, was that most of the
stations listed were never seen at all where they lived, and that some of the most viewed "out of
market" stations were not included. Everyone we knew there with outdoor, rotatable antennas
all watched the Albany area stations quite a bit (and they all had those little channel stickers
reading "6," "10," and "13" on their rotor dials to prove it). Yet, the Mont.-St. L. edition listed
only 6 in Schenectady, completely ignoring Albany's 10 & 13. It did us no good to know what was
being broadcast in Montreal, or Ottawa, or Watertown, because no one there could get those
stations (except, perhaps, on rare occasions when tropo was up, and only if they were bothering
to look for them), but it sure would have been nice to have listings for all 3 of the channels that,
after the Burlington-Plattsburgh stations, were the most watched in the region.
All this gives me the inspiration for a new thread.....

WTBS (WPCH) Ch. 17 Atlanta (Ind.)
Was this a simulcast with CNN or otherwise produced by CNN? Or did WTBS actually produce its
own local hour-long newscast?

WJKS (what are the current call letters?)

Ch. 17 Jacksonville (NBC)
It's now WCWJ.
The old days of WCWB / WMGT included a transmitter that would get knocked off the air when
there was too much red. Since the 1980 TTTT used alot of red in that sow, I wonder if the station
got knocked off the air during the show.
ADDENDUM: For WJXT I forgot to put in
something called "Upbeat," which ran for
five minutes (9:55-10 AM).
Speaking of addendums, WDCO, one of the "E" stations, is now WMUM.

I remember WTBS's 10 PM news being called the

"TBS Evening News" when it started (just prior to
the start of CNN, IIRC), and I think it was still TBS-
produced in 1981.
Thanks for the update on Ch. 17 in Jacksonville;
that station has undergone so many call-letter
changes I can never keep track of them all. And
I didn't know about the call-letter change on Ch. 29
in Cochran, GA; thanks for that, too.
On the Chs. 8-13 thread but not on the UHF thread,
I put up the subject of NBC Reports for that Friday
night. For anyone who cares, it was about the decline
of the family-owned ranch.
I don't know about technical problems on Ch. 41 during
TTTT, but I can tell you the show was my least favorite
version. Maybe I'm being unfair to Robin Ward, since he
got the hosting job so soon after Garry Moore, but IMO
he had about as much personality as the chair I'm in right
now. The familiar regulars were rarely to be seen, although
Bill Cullen and Polly Bergen were on this particular week.
And the "One on One" feature took too much time from the
regular game. I don't miss this version at all.

And also with 41, the time that I heard on this board that they were off the air during the 1986
World Series, game 6, because they had technical difficulties.
That was one of the worst stations in the country for many years, but they are better now, with a
real newscast.

The TBS Evening News was originally anchored by David Allan Jensen and Ann Butler with Kevin
Christopher on sports. Dallas Raines did a weather report that I think was taped. TBS used CNN
stuff but had its own anchor desk and interview area, as live interviews were often used in the
early days of the show. It premiered in 1980 and by 1981, the anchors were replaced by CNN
anchors Don Miller and Marcia Ladendorff Monday through Thursday. Reynelda Muse joined
Marcia at the desk on Fridays. Fred Hickman took over sports and Dallas Raines joined them on-
set for the weather. After the change-over, Jensen did news updates and hosted "Nice People"
until he was replaced by Mary Ann Laughlin. I liked the CNN anchors, but thought Jensen, Butler
and Christopher were a better fit on TBS. Jensen went back to England where he is still a radio
star and Christopher is an anchor in Lexington. Don't know what happened to Ann Butler.

"Tobacco Talk" on Channel 27, now there's an institution. I should check their site to see if it is
still on the air. It was on through the eighties and maybe early nineties. The production element
and set remained the same for years. Ira Massie was the host for many years.
Did he ever do anything on a more national level? For some reason, the name sounds familiar
(unless I am confusing him with someone else).

Re: Retro: Augusta/Columbia January 2, 1980 (Part 1)
I'm pretty sure channel 19 in Columbia was still WNOK-TV in 1980....

Nope, from what I found, WNOK became WLTX in 1977, when Lewis Broadcasting bought it. It
also says it on the Newspaper Archive, and you look for Aiken on Jan. 2, 1980.

Re: CBS December 1987 Schedules

My mistake. "The Homecoming" aired on Thursday instead of Wednesday. Please disregard the
Wednesday schedule; I will try and fix this when I can.

Powers) and her con-man dad (Harold Gould) who solved crime.

In yet another call letter change involving a GPB station, WCLP became WNGH a couple of
months ago.

That is because GPB bought a radio station in Dalton (WQMT 98.9) and flipped the calls to
WNGH. They changed the calls of WDCO-TV when they changed the calls of WDCO-FM to
WMUM to reflect the new partnership with Mercer University (Baptist-affiliated private
institution, not part of the public University System of Georgia) in Macon.
As for WAGA in 1972...I still find it odd that they would delay one movie to show another locally.
WGNX/WGCL did this in 1999 and 2000 a few times. They must have needed the additional ad
money.

One reason, I think, was that CBS had a weak
10:30 show. Don Rickles had just failed in a sitcom
at that odd hour, and "The Governor And J.J.," in
reruns, filled the gap until September. Also, Channel
11 had the ABC parlay of "Room 222"/"Odd Couple"/
"Love, American Style," which were part of a very

strong Friday lineup for that network. So Channel 5
probably figured, let's make all the money we can off
a non-network movie from 9 to 11, delay the network
movie, and forget about "The Governor And J.J.," which
hadn't been a big hit when it was new.

logo back then.
There is a story about how one day the video tapes got mixed up which resulted in Captian
Chesapeake airing in Pittsburgh while Captain Pitt aired
in Baltimore. Back in the 70s WBFF was seen everywhere since that station was available on
cable in six states ( I heard it was even available on the Washington DC cable system ), wonder if
WPTT back then had as many viewers as WBFF did?

I didn't include WKFT Channel 40 in Fayetteville for two reasons: (A) WKFT aired some of the
same programs that the other stations did, and (B) Fayetteville did not become part of the
Raleigh/Durham market until around 1986.
Country Morning, IIRC, was 15 minutes of farm news. WRAL
serves an agriculture (tobacco)-based area in eastern North
Carolina, and farm news was part of their morning programming
for years. As the market has become more urbanized (and people
from eastern towns such as Goldsboro, 50 miles away, commute
to the Triangle, farm news has become less important to the
station).
Frog Hollow is just part of a proud tradition of kids' shows
on WRAL. In the '50s and early '60s they had Romper Room
with a lady named Margaret Brickle in the mornings; and
Captain Five with Herb Marks in the afternoons (I was on
Captain Five twice). WRAL had Bozo the Clown for about
a year in the early '60s but balked at paying the license fee;
instead it created Time For Uncle Paul (Paul Montgomery),
which lasted until (I think) the early '80s. Frog Hollow lasted
until RAL went to CBS and began carrying $25,000 Pyramid
at 10 AM. Since then they've had Saturday shows such
as The Androgena Show and Brain Game, both locally-produced.
I remember WRAL carrying Ryan's Hope on a
day-behind basis after ABC moved it to 12 Noon.
When WTVD became the ABC o&o in 1985, RH disappeared
from the market, unless you could get either WGHP or
WCTI.
And WTVD is STILL running Jeopardy! at 7 and Wheel at
7:30.
WPTF Channel 28 Durham (NBC)
4:30pm The Great Record Album Collection (I presume these were infomercials)
I don't think they were, since 1984 was still a little too early for infomercials (the FCC lifted the
limits on commercials that year). I recall in another retro schedule that Los Angeles' KNBC also
carried the program, but at late-night.
Could anyone fill in details on this show?
I think it was a music-video show.

Re: Retro: Raleigh-Durham October 15, 1984
Ralfan said the Fayetteville area was not a part of the Raleigh-Durham DMA until 1986. I think he
is mistaken about this. Long before that, WTVD and WRDU/WPTF were imaging themselves as
Durham/Raleigh/Fayetteville. It Fayetteville was not in Raleigh/Durham,what market were they
in? True, WECT served the area (and still does) as well as WBTW. Stations such as WGHP and
WITN were also on local cable. WRAL and WTVD were still the dominant channels, though their
signals were not as strong as they are today (along with all the other R-D channels). Even
Robeson Co., to the south of Fayetteville, were in R-D until a few years ago, when they were
moved to Florence-MYB. But, I think in the mid 80s all the counties in the Rocky
Mount/Wilson/Goldsboro corridor were moved from Washington/Greenville/New Bern DMA to
R-D, accounting in part for RD's huge increase in market size (and huge decrease for W-G-NB).
Believe it or not, the two markets were almost the same size back in the early 70s.
I'm guessing Farm Day and AM Weather (not listed) ran in the same 30 minute slot.

I believe Time for Uncle Paul ended in 1981 and was directly replaced with Frog Hollow. Also,
after WRAL switched to CBS in '85, I believe the latter show briefly aired in reruns on Saturdays
alongside the then-new (and also locally-produced) sci-fi educational adventure show Sparks.

Sorry about the mistake, fortmill, and thank you for clearing that up. I guess that was an
assumption because When WKFT first signed on in 1981, it started airing pretty much the same
shows that many of the other stations were airing. These shows included religious fare such as
The PTL Club and cartoons like He-Man and Inspector Gadget.
I believe you're right; I do know that at one point in the '90s (maybe early '00s) Sparks and The
Androgena Show
aired back-to-back on Saturday mornings. I knew I was leaving something out when I listed
WRAL's various kids'
shows, and that was Sparks.
Speaking of kids' shows, back about 1963 or '64 WTVD had one in the afternoon called The Fun
Hour, with a
character called Paul Pioneer, played by Ken Corbett, who also did the weather on 11; the set
was supposed
to be his cabin and there were fake trees suggesting that he lived in the woods. At any rate,
Corbett showed
up drunk to do the weather at 11 PM one night; IIRC, he never returned to The Fun Hour and
maybe not even
to WTVD. I don't know what happened to him.

This was indeed a music video program. Much like HOT ( Hits Of Today ) which I think aired on a
few stations around this time.
The show also aired on Washington DC's WDCA channel 20 as well. One of my online friends has
a clip of the opening of this that she taped off of WDCA and was thinking about putting that on
you tube. However one of her co-workers received a call from a friend who works at WDCA
telling her they and WTTG, well FOX was going to go after that site and get their clips removed
( Captain 20, Milt Grant, Maury Povich, Panarama, etc...). Anyway she didn't. So much for that.
I'm guessing Farm Day and AM Weather (not listed) ran in the same 30 minute slot.
Correct -- both shows were 15-minute shows from the same producer (Maryland Public
Television), and they had some sort of editorial segment between the two shows.

And speaking of WTVD, they had another popular kids' show in the 1950s called The Cartoon
Factory starring Happy the Toy Soldier starring the station's founding program director Ernie
Greup as the title character.

That schedule brings back some memories! I didn't realize WLFL was running a local news
operation back then, or that the former WPTF-TV wasn't (I guess Newsbeat 28 premiered around
1985 or '86). Are there any more details about WLFL's early news operation (anchors, etc). A
note about WKFT (now Univision affiliate WUVC)...I remember their taking the cable channel 11
spot on Durham Cablevision (now TWC), that was previously occupied by Greensboro's WFMY-
TV 2(CBS) around 1985. I think that was about the time the station boosted their power for full
market coverage from a new tower in Broadway,NC. Channel 40 began operations from a shorter
tower in June of 1981 (actually pre-dating WLFL by about six months). Though not listed, I think
Fayetteville's other TV station, the limited range WFCT-TV 62 (now "i" affiliate WFPX) had either
signed on or was about to do so at this time.
Just for perspective, this schedule was about four years before Beasley Broadcasting signed on
Goldsboro-licensed WYED-TV 17 (which would become today's WNCN NBC 17) and alomst 11
years before WRAZ-TV 50 hit the airwaves. Present-day WRPX-TV 47 and WRAY-TV 30 were
several years away from signing on as well.

Raleigh/Durham and Fayetteville

Fayetteville has always been in the Raleigh/Durham DMA. WRAL-5 and WTVD-11 have had
Fayetteville bureaus for many years.
Cable viewers in Fayetteville get the Big 4 from Raleigh/Durham plus WECT-6 from Wilmington.
Why? NBC has always been the weakest network in the Triangle and the WECT tower is close
enough to put a strong signal into Fayetteville.
Also, WBTW-13 is no longer on cable in Fayetteville.

Well, NBC's been the weakest in the Triangle
since WRAL went to ABC in 1962. It's never
been clear why they did, but I remember that there
was only one other ABC affiliate in the entire state
of North Carolina at the time: WLOS/13 Asheville.
Living outside Raleigh until I moved to eastern North
Carolina in 1965, I watched NBC on WITN, which put
a snowy but viewable signal into areas east of Raleigh.
I'm not sure about Durham, but I know WFMY is
on cable in Carrboro. I was in there eating lunch
one day and "The Young And The Restless" was on.
And it's no great secret that WRAL carries it at 4,
which is long past my lunchtime.

Actually, WITN/7 was recieved pretty well in Raleigh in the 60s and a fairly large precentage of
households watched NBC on 7. WITN promoted, at a low price, a "channel 7 antenna" in Raleigh
which was a Channel Master high band 10 element VHF antenna. From experience, I can tell you
it brought in 7 with just a little snow and good color. About 72 or 73, reception abruptly got
worse, supposedly because of interference from FM stations. Of course, by that time, cable was
available and WITN, along with WFMY (and WGHP), was on Raleigh cable. Speaking of WFMY,
that station was also widely available in Raleigh OTA. Up until the the late 70s, Raleigh/Durham
television was considered highly inferior to Triad and Eastern NC TV and many residents had
large rotary antennas to pick up the out of town stations....

What about the Virginia stations?
For YEARS I remember seeing listings for the Triad and Triangle stations in the Roanoke-
Lynchburg edition of TV Guide which makes me wonder if stations like Roanoke's WDBJ channel
7 for example were seen in the bigger cities in NC like Greensboro or Raleigh? Same with
Richmond and Hampton Roads? I would imagine WTVR's then signal made it to Raleigh since
back then they made it as far north as Maryland.
Back in the early 80s I remember staying at the then-new Cavalier Hotel on the boardwalk in
Virginia Beach. At the time the hotel had its own cable lineup ( they didn't use the local regional
cable service ) and not only offered all the Hampton Roads channels except WTVZ but they
offered both WRAL and WTVD as well though on the weekends somehow and oddly they
replaced WTVD with Baltimore's WBAL even though WBAL didn't come in as well as WTVD.

The Triad stations (WFMY, WXII, etc.) have always been easily recieved OTA (and on cable) in
Danville, Martinville, and surrounding areas of VA, and WRAL and WTVD (and other Triangle
stations) have always been recieved in the South Boston VA area. Of course, the Roanoke
stations are also recieved in those areas. That is why the Triad and and Triangle channels were
always listed in the Roanoke-Lynchburg (actually called the Central VA) edition of TV Guide.
Likewise, WDBJ and WSLS have always been quite recievable throughout North Central NC (Triad
area), but never in the Triangle area. WTVR was never seen regularly in the Raleigh Durham
area---it is over 150 miles away, and you have to remember TV stations in Eastern VA are in ZOne
1 and are not allowed as much power as those in NC or Western VA. My grandmother in Raleigh
was an early adopter of TV. She started off recieving only WFMY, then added WNAO and WTVD. I
have to question the report of a hotel master antenna in Virginia Beach VA offering WTVD/WRAL
and WBAL--that would be impossible on a regular basis. I would guess WBAL could be a regular
dx catch in V Beach, since its almost 100% over water. WTVD/WRAL maybe under tropo
conditions---that's almost 200 miles....

In Garner in the '60s I never had any luck picking
up WFMY but I did get WGHP OTA; that's where I
usually watched ABC (less inclined to pre-empt than
WRAL).
I also never had any luck with the Virginia stations
in Garner, although in Kinston (about 70 miles east)
I could pick up WAVY (NBC in Norfolk, and I particularly
remember it's the first channel where I ever saw Mike
Douglas).
However, today, living in Siler City (western Chatham
County), I can pick up WDBJ and WSLS, especially in
the morning. WSET is more problematical, surprisingly
since I'm probably closer to Lynchburg than Roanoke,
but WBTW Florence, SC is also on Ch. 13 and I never
know which one I'm going to pick up.
My best luck with out-of-town stations has been in

higher terrain, and on the second floor of my house.
In Birmingham I watched Atlanta wrestling on Channel
11 many a Saturday night; in Greenville, SC in the mornings
I could get WGTV/8 Athens, GA; WSOC/9 Charlotte;
WIS/10 Columbia; WXIA/11 Atlanta; and WRDW/12 Augusta
(that last one is where I saw Michael Larson take "Press
Your Luck" to the cleaners--WSPA wasn't carrying it then).

Yes, the last time I was in High Point, I could pick up WSLS and WDBJ pretty clearly, just on a little
Walkman radio. SLS was fuzzier than WDBJ.
WIS also has a huge signal, as I could pick it up well inside the Charlotte airport, while channel 3
has problems just a few miles from Charlotte.
WBTW was off cable in Fayetteville in the late 1980s, but they only put it back on after WRAL's
tower collapsed, and the negotiations of 1993 with broadcast channels having to have must-
carry, so Fayetteville could have an alternate CBS affiliate.
WBTW wasn't even on the Lumberton cable until 1993, only because it was more popular than
Wilmington and Raleigh channels.
Here is a partial article from the Fayettville Observer from 1993 on the matter:
http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/...ckval=GooglePM
I have to question the report of a hotel master antenna in Virginia Beach VA offering
WTVD/WRAL and WBAL--that would be impossible on a regular basis. I would guess WBAL could
be a regular dx catch in V Beach, since its almost 100% over water. WTVD/WRAL maybe under
tropo conditions---that's almost 200 miles....
Wouldnt the height of the building make it possible? At the time ( early 80's ) the Cavalier was
one of the tallest hotels in Virginia Beach. Plus they had a sister hotel across the street up a
rather steep hill. I was only a pre-teen at the time so I don't have a clue how the hotel pulled it
off but they somehow did. I remember my dad making a comment at the time how WRAL's
newscasts were "much better" than Norfolk's which wasn't much a surprise even then. While
most markets always tried their best to seem like major market even when they aren't,
Tidewater ( ok Hampton Roads ), WVEC, WTAR-WTKR, and WAVY at the time seemed to be
trying to do the "small town" look ( I think it was Norfolk about ten years who actually didn't
want to be included in those Neilsen "overnight-big city" ratings, only WGNT wanted to be a part
of it ).
Plus going back to the Cavalier, I remember watching "Eyewitness News" on WTVD. The name
"Eyewitness News" had always been somewhat taboo in Tidewater. WAVY BOMBED with it and
WTKR tried to bring it back but failed so badly it lasted less than a year before WTKR went with
NewsChannel 3.
Oddly about a year later we stayed at the rather low budget ( and now defunct ) three story
Tides Motor Lodge. They only offered three channels ( WAVY, WVEC and WTKR ) and two of
them WVEC and WTKR came in quite poorly. And even in the 80s, all of their TVs were in
wonderful black & white.
But I did manged to pick up both WBOC and WMDT from the Maryland eastern shore on the
beach itself in Virginia Beach.
Tom McNamara. Was it the same Tom McNamara of Talk soup?
Wrong. The Tom McNamara I'm talking about is the one that also hosted another version on PM
Magazine at WNEP in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and is now the evening anchor at KVOA in Tuscon.

A note about "The Lawless Years": James Gregory
was the star; many of you will remember him as
Inspector Luger on "Barney Miller." This show, IIRC,
was based on the exploits of a New York cop of the
'20s and '30s, Barney Ruditsky, from whom Danny
Arnold took the first name for the character of Barney
Miller some fifteen years later.
