Right about 1972-73; somehow my mind jumped ahead to 1972. However, the 1971-72
season was considered its fifth. Even though the show debuted in January 1968, the
1967-68 season was considered (at least by TV Guide) as a full season, so they're
actually
counting 1967-1972: five years. I guess it makes it easier than saying that "Laugh-In"
had
been on three and a half years in September 1971.
I would, however, argue that "Laugh-In" seemed dated by 1971; so much of it still
smacked
of the '60s. It and "Gunsmoke" had been virtually neck-and-neck up to that point, but in
the
1971-72 season "Gunsmoke" finished fourth for the season, while "Laugh-In" finished
22nd. And
in '72, when ABC added "The Rookies" on Mondays at 8/7, "Gunsmoke" finished tied
with Mary Tyler
Moore for seventh, "The Rookies" finished 23rd, tied with the ABC Sunday Night Movie,
and "Laugh-In"
finished out of the top 30.
One thing was certain: Lorne Michaels was a writer on "Laugh-In" and he had definite
ideas about
what he did and did not want to do on the comedy show he'd soon be creating for NBC.
Compare
"Laugh-In" and "Saturday Night Live" and see what I mean.

Under the listings for WAGA/Ch. 5 in Atlanta it says,
"11 PM News (Chuck Scarborough)"
Same Chuck Scarborough who's been anchoring WNBC-TV's evening news in New
York City (and filling in from time to time on the NBC network's newscasts) since the
mid-70s?

The same, just as Judy Woodruff is the same one who went from
WAGA to national fame. When I lived in WAGA's coverage area in
the mid-'70s Chuck Moore and Jim Axel were the station's main anchors.

Which of these stations, if any, would have aired the third popular syndicated show of
this vein from that era, Soul Train? I've heard of cases of one station airing all three
programs - if not fully back-to-back, then at least in close proximity.

CBC Maritimes listings for the same day.
The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour was replaced on September 6 by The Bugs Bunny
Show (half-hour). I think the baseball game that day (September 13) overran and wiped
out the broadcast of Bugs Bunny in the Maritimes. If I remember rightly.

Re: Retro: Boston Sunday April 23, 1967
There may be a reason why the old WNAC-7 was not listed as carrying the NBA playoff
game from the network on April 23rd, 1967: It was 5th game of the Finals (between the
Philadelphia 76ers and the then-San Francisco Warriors), and as an "if necessary"
game, the station may have submitted a TV listing for that date assuming there would be
no playoff game that day.
According to the sports section of that day's Boston Globe, WNAC indeed did carry that
game. The TV supplement of that same newspaper does not list the game as being
carried by WNAC.

The way the Herald had it listed had all the other ABC affiliates in New England (WNHC,
WTEV, WMTW, WHYN, WMUR and others) running the game. Neither the game listing
or WNAC's movie listing had anything about "if necessary" at all.
As for WHDH and the Red Sox game, according to the TV Guide week of May 20-26,
1967 games from Fenway were broadcast in color. It could just have been an error on
the Herald's part, which would be strange since the Herald owned WHDH.

It's possible that WNAC-7 submitted a couple of weeks ahead of time a TV listing with
the movie because they didn't know there would be an NBA Finals game that day.

First of all, Town Hal should be Town Hall, New Literacey is New Literacy, and New
Archives is New Archies. Sometimes going fast with the keys causes this...
TV Guide's 2AM listings were normal. What was interesting is that listings on a day's
listing end at 5AM in the old TVG, but this time it was 4:30, 5AM, 5:30, and then back to
5AM on the Sunday page as normal. Late start?

Copernican theory that the planets revolve around the sun; and the 1633 trial in Rome in

seen records that sealed Galileo's fate. Most significant is a document-"manifestly a
forgery," says Bronowski-that forbade him to teach Copernican theory.

Re: Retro: Riverside Co, California Mon, Sept 18, 1967
Great listing. A few observations:
I was a Baby-Boomer era kid in the late 50's and early 60's, watching Sheriff John,
Skipper Frank, Engineer Bill, Tom Hatten, and so on. That was great kids' television.
I used to wonder as I got older if the next generation of kids would be watching these
same shows, or if they would come up with new programming.
By the time I was a teen, I had stopped watching cartoons, and most of the shows I
watched were gone.
They weren't replaced, and the genre was not improved on.
I think later generations of kids missed out on something.

Yes, it was the 60's Batman show. I was a senior in high school at the time and
remember discussing it with my friends - consensus was that it was "dumb" but now
we'd be the first ones to buy it if it ever came out on DVD.
As for Popeye, one station had the Fleischer package and the other had the King
Features cartoons from the 60s (IIRC WLVI had the newer cartoons).

"As for Popeye, one station had the Fleischer package and the other had the King

Actually 56 WLVI had the Theatrical Paramount and Fleisher Popeye cartoons
syndicated by AAP. 38 WSBK had the 60's King Features episodes but were about to
drop them in 1984 (I thought 38 stopped running Popeye in 1981). The King Features
episodes moved to 20 WXNE. Eventually 56 WLVI only had the Fleisher episodes
colorized by 1989 while 25 which was WFXT by then had both the Paramount and King
Features episodes.
As for Bugs Bunny - WLVI had the pre 48 color Looney Toons and Merrie Melodies
including all the pre 48 Bugs Bunny episodes. WSBK had the Post 48 Bugs Bunny and
other Warner Brothers cartoons and the pre 41 colorized Porky Pig cartoons. These all
moved to 26 WXNE in 1986.

Actually by 89-90 WLVI had the King Features Popeye package (with Hoyt Curtin's
rendition of the Popeye theme from the 78-82 Hanna-Barbera version). WLVI didn't run
the H-B version, which is ironic as they had almost every other H-B property at the time
(Flintstones, World Of Super Adventure i.e. Space Ghost, Fun World i.e. Dastardly and
Muttley, Josie and the Pussycats, Greatest Bible Stories, and maybe even Scooby-Doo).
Oh yeah, WLVI also carried from Krazy Kat, Beetle Bailey and Snuffy Smith from King
Features (but not Cool McCool or The Beatles).

WAKC Channel 23 (ABC)
5:00p Home Shanna Reed, Marilyn McCoo
Boy, WAKC is an odd station... Proving my point: This is an odd time to air what was
considered a daytime show. Couldn't they just bury it in the overnight or even the early
morning hours?
Kind of reminds me of the fact that in the mid '90s, WEWS aired Live with Regis and
Kathie Lee at 11AM and aired Caryl & Marilyn: Real Friends late at night. I would
imagine they only did that because of The Morning Exchange, which ran from 9AM to
11AM.

Home ran only for 30 minutes during its infancy. Reruns of "Growing Pains" filled the
hour nationally, so this appears to be in sequence from the network.

1:30 AM American Bandstand (delay from 11:30 AM)
How many other stations delayed American Bandstand to 1:30 AM in the morning? First
time I've seen American Bandstand being on late at night which might mean that it
wasn't that popular in Alabama.

if i remember, WBRC often didn't clear some of the more controversial stuff that ABC ran
in the 1960-70s. in a way, it reminds me of a skit on Laugh in where someone at the end
said: "In Birmingham, they are showing a test pattern right now."

I've never figured out what was so controversial about "American
Bandstand," because I've always thought Dick Clark did everything
he could to keep it family-friendly. Nevertheless, even airing it at
1:30 AM is better than what WFAA did, which is not carry it at all.

From the mid-to-late 1970s onward, some stations bumped Bandstand for various
reasons -- the only chance I got to see it was during the prime-time anniversary specials,
as my local stations, WJRT in Flint and, after the move, WTSP in Tampa Bay, didn't carry
Bandstand.

WBRC used to be absolutely notrious for delaying popular network programming into
less than desirable time-slots. Some of their more egregious preemptions have been
noted here. Having lived in Birmingham all my life, the main reasons were, they were the
#1 station in north Alabama, plus it enabled them to sell more local advertising during the
hours when they were watched the most.

Re: Retro: West Virginia Saturday, September 24, 1977
Being an NBC affiliate, Ch. 3 would not have been allowed
to delay Johnny Carson to midnight (only Minneapolis and
Birmingham were allowed to delay him at all, and in the case
of the Twin Cities that was after the switch to what is now
KARE). Ch. 3 carried Carson and Tom Snyder's "Tomorrow" show,
and "The Midnight Special" on Friday. That means the earliest
"MH2" could have gotten on would have been 2 AM (2:30 AM
Friday night/Saturday morning). And I suppose, too, it filled a
gap, since the station stayed on all night on Saturdays.
Another NBC affiliate, WIS Columbia, SC, also taped "MH2" and
played back (I think) three episodes after "Saturday Night Live"
and two on Sunday nights.
The ABC affiliate in Richmond, WXEX (now WRIC), used to do

something similar with "Dark Shadows." They carried David Frost
at 4 PM, taped the five episodes of "Dark Shadows" for the week,
and aired them five in a row on Sunday afternoons.

Re: Retro: Northeast Kentucky Mon, Sept 27, 1999
Interesting to see an early digital cable lineup on here. I think this is the first one of those
I've seen. I noticed there's quite a few channels missing, such as what was then known
as Noggin, and Nick GaS. Was InterMedia Lexington an independent cable operator at
the time, or a competitor? If they were independent, I doubt they're still around. What is
the cable provider there now?

Re: Retro: Northeast Kentucky Mon, Sept 27, 1999
WVAH 11-Fox/UPN
8:00 Get Real (as listed, what's the story here?)
UPN special, maybe?
A quick check on Wikipedia lists it as a Fox program, but it's awful funny that Fox 11 in
Charleston has it listed, but the Cincy, Louisville, and Lexington stations are running a
That 70s Show doubleheader, which leads me to wonder it there's a typo here and Fox
11 actually ran the That 70s Show doubleheader instead...
Bonus info, there was an ad for InterMedia Lexington in that week's TV Book, so here's
a look at the September 1999 cable selection in Lexington:
Analog
2 WKYT-CBS
Soon after this WKYT moved to Channel 9 on cable. WKYT had issues being on
Channel 2 due to all the old coax and bad splits around town. Low band VHF channels
were full of noise so WKYT had issues while the other broadcast channels were on high
band VHF that were noise free or less noisy so they requested to move.

Re: Retro: Los Angeles Metro, Sat. September 1st, 1984
If memory serves me right, the listing at 10:30 a.m. on channel 34 was called "El Rancho
Del Pajaro Amarillio," which means "The Yellow Woodpecker Ranch." It was a children's
serial from Brazil, which was produced by the Globo TV network.

Re: Retro: Atlanta Sunday, October 3, 1982
This was the last day of the baseball season, and I *think* NBC had a baseball game
also, since there was no football.

How come since there was a NFL strike in 1982 that the Falcons football coach possibly
talking about the strike and NFL '82 were still on the air?

For the record, ABC had the rights in those days to any lastday of the baseball season
contests where a division title was on the line(as well as any Monday tiebreaker games).
The game on Oct. 3, 1982, involved the Milwaukee Brewers and Baltimore Orioles, who,
by good fortune, just happened to be tied for first place and playing each other on the
last day.
The Brewers won the game 10-2, with the team of Keith Jackson, Bob Uecker and
Howard Cosell announcing.

Although this is not in the listings, I believe this was the night when the first all night

Re: Retro: Spokane, WA - Saturday, February 14, 1987
I call shenanigans on that installment of "SNL" - there were two musical guests? Also,
Bronson Pinchot was legitimately famous enough at the time to host "SNL"?

According to the Wikipedia article, Paul Young was the main musical guest, and Buster
Poindexter made a special guest appearance with the Saturday Night Live Band:

The Giant Tiger Amateur Hour [Later The Gene Carroll Show] Both on WEWS)

5 Dinner Platter
Bob Dale was the host here-About 2 years later he would pull up stakes and head to
San Diego, where he became an Icon after a 40 year career there..

8 Rena and Bob
This would be Rena and Bob Ledyard, who hosted what amounted to a "garage sale on
tv" Rena would scour Cleveland neighborhoods for items to be shown on TV and sold to
the viewing public..The Show was also known as "Bargain Bar"..If this site had the ability
to post pictures, I could show a picture of the Ledyards on set..The show was
surprisingly popular, as WXEL, being the third and last UHF to sign on, had to be more
creative with daytime programming at first..

8 Gray Drug News Parade
Bob Lang and Cleveland Indians announcer Jimmy Dudley hosted..

shoot the games. Given that WXEL was not an NBC affiliate, and that some TV listings
for Boston I have seen indicated multiple-stations carrying the World Series as late as
1955, I thought that perhaps this multi-network arrangement lasted well into the 1950's.

A brief blurb in that week's issue implied that NBC had the rights that year...not sure
what the story is there...

Based on Cleveland Plain Dealer Archive stories of the period, WXEL-9 was the local
station for the Indians that season..WNBK and WXEL both carried the games, using the
NBC-TV announcers..Same with Mutual Radio, where Cleveland affiliate WHK and
Indians Flagship WERE carried the games..

Re: Really Retro: Birmingham, Thursday Evening 10/16/52 and Friday Daytime 10/17/52
Wow! I'd like to see some more of these from the '50s.
"Mike And..." is Mike Wallace and his then-wife, Buff Cobb,

an actress and niece to the humorist Irvin S. Cobb. She was
a panelist on "Masquerade Party" from 1953-55, essentially playing
the role Betsy Palmer did on "I've Got A Secret," seemingly unable
to come up with the most obvious identifications.
"Wheel Of Fortune" replaced "Arthur Godfrey Time" on Fridays (Arthur

was usually at his Virginia farm and did the Friday show on radio only).
It bore no resemblance to the show that made Pat Sajak and Vanna White
famous; instead, people who had done some good deed spun a wheel which
landed on a cash amount ($30-$1000), and they had to answer a set number
of questions to win the money. The host of the show was Todd Russell, so I
wonder if "Ted Russell" was a typo or a local Birmingham personality.

a panelist on "Masquerade Party" from 1953-55, essentially playing
the role Betsy Palmer did on "I've Got A Secret," seemingly unable
to come up with the most obvious identifications.

...actually, I recall Palmer getting more "secrets" than Bess Myerson or Faye Emerson
ever did...
Could be, but one time they brought out a man with a
live squirrel on his head; Garry Moore was to ignore the
squirrel while the man "whispered his secret": "I have a
live squirrel on my head." Palmer missed, and after the
show Gil Fates asked her how she could have missed something
so obvious. It was so obvious, she said, that she thought the
producers were trying to put one over on her. The whole spot
was premised on the fact that Palmer had difficulty guessing secrets,
and that she couldn't possibly miss something so obvious.
But since neither I nor anyone else ever kept score as to how many
secrets each panelist guessed, I won't say you're wrong.
One of the dynamics of pairing Buff Cobb and Ilka Chase on "Masquerade
Party" was the contrast of the seeming bimbo (Cobb) and the sophisticated
society lady (Chase); that might have been behind the pairing of Palmer and
Emerson (and later Myerson) on "Secret."
Another form of pairing was good cop/bad cop (Arlene Francis/Dorothy Kilgallen
on "What's My Line?" or Bill Cullen/Henry Morgan on "Secret." Kitty Carlisle/Peggy
Cass on "To Tell The Truth" would be another example; Cass, though, was as good a
game player as Kilgallen and seldom failed to identify the truth-teller.).
One side note, sort of off-topic: before he died, Henry Morgan published his
autobiography
and was uncomplimentary of Steve Allen, who replaced Garry Moore as host of "Secret"
in 1964; he said that Moore was willing to sit back and let the panel and contestants
have
the spotlight; Allen always seemed to be competing with them for laughs. Palmer, when
she
read this, came forward and agreed that Moore was the better host (and though a lot of
you
will disagree with me, I think Moore was better than Bud Collyer on "To Tell The Truth").

...well, although Garry Moore did have comedy variety shows on both radio (with Jimmy
Durante) and TV, Moore (like Dave Garroway, Ed Sullivan and Arthur Godfrey) was
always more of a broadcaster than an entertainer per se. Collyer and Steve Allen were
established as performing entertainers before their game show careers. Allen was also
infamous for having one of the most overstuffed egos in Hollywood; Jack Paar wrote in
his memoir P.S. Jack Paar, "I am very fond of Steve [Allen], but not nearly as much as
Steve is" ;D ...

Note I have no idea why each of the three Dayton stations is affiliated with all three
networks. If anyone has an answer please post it. Id love to know why.
I believe the first network listed was their primary affiliate, and they cleared shows that
the other stations didn't carry.
Also, wasn't WKTR an ABC affiliate at one point in the late-1960s, before closing down?
And if so, did the other three stations maintain affiliation of some sort with ABC? (It
would reopen as pubcaster WOET in 1972, now WPTD.)

Charlotte was the same way until the fall of 1967.
WBTV was primary CBS; WSOC, NBC; WCCB, ABC,
but each took shows from the other networks. As
I understand it, NBC got fed up with WSOC's pre-emptions
of network shows, and in the fall of '67 WBTV became fulltime
CBS; WSOC, NBC; WCCB, ABC. That lasted until July 1978,
when WSOC switched to ABC; WCCB went independent (then Fox
in 1986), and Ted Turner's WRET (now Belo's WCNC) became the
NBC affiliate.

Was the Southern Ohio edition still doing different colored bullets for each market at the
time? In the late-50s listings from the edition I've posted, the edition used black bullets
for Cincy, white for Columbus, and grey striped for Dayton...

Cincinnati and Columbus were black and Dayton was white - no grey stripes

I thought that the old WLWD-2 was NBC primary, WHIO-7 CBS primary, and some ABC
shows were split between the two.
There may have been a few CBS shows on WLWD and a few NBC shows on WHIO to
add to the confusion.

Charlotte was the same way until the fall of 1967.
WBTV was primary CBS; WSOC, NBC; WCCB, ABC,
but each took shows from the other networks. As
I understand it, NBC got fed up with WSOC's pre-emptions
of network shows, and in the fall of '67 WBTV became fulltime
CBS; WSOC, NBC; WCCB, ABC. That lasted until July 1978,
when WSOC switched to ABC; WCCB went independent (then Fox
in 1986), and Ted Turner's WRET (now Belo's WCNC) became the
NBC affiliate.
Yep, and as we noted many times across these threads, there were similar situations in
other markets like Birmingham, Toledo, and Raleigh-Durham, where the UHF start-up
got the leftover network programs from the established stations until the late '60/early
'70s where the stations were forced to affiliate with a single network.

This one was a bit hard. There are several abbreviated titles, some of which I couldnt
decipher. Those shows are marked with a [?].
Does anyone know what kind of "News" KAYU broadcast in the mornings in 2002? I
honestly have no idea.

Re: Retro: Spokane, WA - Thursday, October 10, 2002
Was CNN Headline News still syndicated to small-market stations? I know it was as late
as mid-1996, as KIMA 29 Yakima was running CNN at Noon.
The 12PM show might be Antiques Roadshow (or the UK version) but I'm not sure why it
would be a half-hour...
I don't even remember Rob Nelson. Must have been very short-lived. I do remember
Caroline Rhea, which was supposed to imitate Rosie O'Donnell, but failed after one
season.
Also-Maury on KXLY, a Big 3 station? By now, Maury had turned into "whose your
daddy" and "infidelity" stuff, and was being dropped on big 3 stations like flies (well,
maybe not KDNL...)
-crainbebo
Antiques Roadshow crossed my mind, too, but the half-hour timeslot is what threw me
off its trail.
Maury on KXLY is definitely odd, but the stations in Spokane were a little behind the
times for several years. All of the "big three" stations were even still showing sitcom
reruns during access in 2002!
As for The Rob Nelson Show, I don't remember it, either.

A few more notes
Shipmates on KSKN-was about people dating in a cruise ship.

The Other Half I know had Dick Clark in it. Most affiliates were NBC, but here in Seattle
it was aired on our Fox station KCPQ.
-crainbebo
Yeah, I remember The Other Half. It was supposed to be the "male" version of The View,
and was hosted by Clark, Mario Lopez, Danny Bonaduce and someone else. I don't
remember Shipmates, though. It's interesting when you go through old listings to realize
how many disposable, forgettable shows come and go over the years.

Looks like 2 and 22 shared top-tiered syndicated programming as much as they did local
news...
Yeah. They still do, in fact. 22 currently repeats Dr. Phil at 6 and The Dr. Oz Show at 7.
As much as I hate duopolies, this one works well. KREM saved KSKN from Home
Shopping Network obscurity.

Note: WREC Channel 3 would be rebranded WREG-TV two years later when the station
was sold to the New York Times. It remains WREG to this day. You can also see Apollo
11 coverage seeping into the schedule. All three channels show virtually wall to wall
coverage on the Sunday and Monday grids. I think WHBQ may have preempted an ABC
show for "The Little Rascals" at 10am. 13 showed Little Rascals for years.

Re: RETRO: MEMPHIS, TN, SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1969
I noticed WHBQ had "American Bandstand" on its schedule during this time. However, I
also noticed that both "Wrestling" and "Talent Time" replaced "Wide World of Sports" so
it appears this might have spurred its decision to move the former to 11AM down the line
in the future.

If my memory serves me correct, the Apollo coverage on July 19th at 12 Noon CDT (1
P.M. EDT) was to show a live telecast from the command module as it and it's attached
lunar module were closing in on the moon; while the 3 P.M. CDT/4 EDT coverage was
when the spacecraft came out from the far side of the moon; it's service module rocket
engine having fired to slow it down to place it in orbit around the moon ahead of the next
day's moon landing.
BTW, ABC, CBS, and NBC were all on the air for 30 straight hours (12 Noon EDT July
20th-6 P.M. EDT July 21st) during the landing. The networks believed that to go back to
regular programming while the lunar module containing Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin
were on the moon, even when the two were asleep, was the TV news equivalent to
blasphemy.

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

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

I have to ask: At what point did WIHS' calls switch to WSBK?

Not sure of the exact date but it was sometime in the fall of 1966.

1967 was the first year that Channel 5 WHDH telecast Red Sox home games in color,
using RCA's TK43 color cameras. Here's a link to an article in RCA's Broadcast News
magazine from August 1967 discussing the WHDH's remote trucks, and color camera
setup. The article is on Page 26 :http://www.americanradiohistory.com/...ws/RCA-135.pdf

Thanks for that link - I loved the color pictures from the old WHDH studios, especially the
one of Jack Hynes doing the news. It shows how far news sets and production has come
in 45 years. The original WHDH doesn't get the respect it deserves for putting out a
quality product despite all the behind-the-scenes turmoil.
And by the way, WIHS-TV was owned and operated by the Archdiocese of Boston,
which ran a closed circuit TV system for its schools and parishes. It has blossomed into
a global network called "Catholic TV." Can you believe it? What goes around comes
around.

But how many homes in the Boston market actually had sets that could pick up UHF?

I know that my grandparents had a 1963 RCA color console that had UHF. When I was
about 5 we lived a few blocks away and my brother and I used to go over to watch
"Kimba the White Lion" and "Speed Racer" on channel 56 in color (my parents only had
a B&W TV with a slide UHF tuner at the time).

The station received several "National News Film Station of The Year" awards from the
National Press Photographers' Association, among other awards.
As WHDH and later as WCVB, Boston's Channel 5 has long been known for having one
of the country's best local TV news departments. In fact, Channel 5 (both as WHDH and
as WCVB) and WBZ-4 have for generations been cited as two of the best local TV
station news departments in the country.

8 PM Saturday Night Live With Howard Cosell (the Bay City Rollers;
Alan King; Yogi Berra, Billy Martin, and Bill Virdon singing "Heart"
from "Damn Yankees")
8 PM Saturday Night Live With Howard Cosell

...this was The Bay City Rollers' second time on Cosell's show. The first, on the
September 20th premiere, was sattelited from a studio at London Weekend Television
(as I recall, it was on the same set used for SuperSonic, which had premiered on ITV
that same month). For this appearance, the Rollers actually travelled to the Ed Sullivan
Theater and performed "Saturday Night" on the same stage The Beatles made their first
American performance over CBS' The Ed Sullivan Show over eleven years earlier.
"Saturday Night" barely managed to hit the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 during the
Cosell show's lifetime ;D ...
At the time the Rollers were being touted as the group that was going
to make the world forget the Beatles, so Cosell may have figured he'd
get the kind of ratings Sullivan got when he had the Beatles on in 1964.
As we know, the Rollers soon faded back into obscurity and Cosell didn't
get the big ratings (in fact his show was canceled after only 16 weeks).

...although the band actually landed The Bay City Rollers Show, their own Saturday

three or four years after its official cancellation without bothering to notify either the
Rollers or producers Sid & Marty Krofft, according to head writer Mark Evanier...

Apparently, the Kroffts aren't fans of TV Guide, as past listings indicated here had
repeats of The Bay City Rollers Show at 7:30AM ET / 6:30AM elsewhere. I would think
they would buy a TV Guide to check up on what they would say about their other series
during this period (including Donnie & Marie, Barbara Mandrell and, of course, Pink
Lady).

Don't know the exact history, though that station was around to at least 1982, when
WNVC (then WIAH) signed on channel 56. Don't know if SIN relocated to another
channel, or if it's related to the low-powered Telefutura station WMDO-LD (which signed
on in 1988 and carried Univision until 2005).

Re: RETRO: MID-SOUTH, OCT. 4TH, 1976
I'm guessing this came out of the Memphis Commercial Appeal "Mid-South" TV tab?
They had a section in the back which featured an expanded area of listings for the likes
of Paducah/Cape Girardeau, Jackson, etc.
Couple of observations -- WMC 5 picking up Dinah! was only the beginning of their
notorious dismantling of NBC daytime.
Second, I'd forgotten how WLBT 3 in Jackson did their own share of preemptions in the
'70s. The 9:00 program was the local institution Coffee With Judy, hosted by Judy Moon
(formerly a "weather girl"), plus the "Romper Room"-styled Our Playmates. The latter
was an award-winning show - created very soon after the station passed into "interim"
hands in 1971.
I was living in Tupelo in 1976, so the afternoon schedules really took me back. Brady
Bunch, back to back, on 5 and 9 respectively. Those were the days..... : : :
--Russell
Thanks for the info about Judy and Playmates, Russell W. I lived in Northeast, MS then
and could pick up all the Memphis stations, Tupelo, and Florence, AL. But we couldn't
get the central MS stations. I've always been fascinated by local programming. When I
was a kid, I always wanted people to bring me back TV Guides from their travels. I was a
very odd kid, but I got a kick out of knowing what other people got to see, and wondering
what their locally produced shows were like.

I noticed some fairly strange things here.
Only two of the Jackson, Mississippi stations were listed, and one of those was a U,
WAPT. The odd man out here was CBS affil WJTV, on channel 12. Wonder what the
CA's thinking was on that?
Take these things into consideration: 1) The CA's circulation reach at the time was
probably the northern third of the state of Mississippi, down to about Greenville,
Greenwood, and maybe as far as Columbus. Surely it didn't go down as far as, say,
Vicksburg?
This becomes important because 2) UHF signals were notoriously weak in those days,
and I don't know the technical facts, but WAPT's reach couldn't have been more than in
a 60-mile radius around Jackson--far short of the southern end of CA's southern
boundary in the Mississippi Delta.
Meanwhile, 3) WJTV probably had a similar reach to WLBT, some 75-90 standard miles
as one would expect from a V in a geographically large, predominantly rural market like
Jackson. Its signal, by contrast, was probably visible in the southern part of the Delta. So
the CA's listing WAPT really made no sense.
Also conspicuously missing are the Arkansas stations, namely the three Little Rock V
affils, Jonesboro ABC affil KAIT, and the state ETV system. Perhaps this listing was
culled from a separate edition aimed at the areas east and south of Memphis, I don't
know. But that would be the only explanation I could imagine.
Further, only one Nashville station is listed for those parts of western Tennessee near
the Tennessee River within the fringe areas of the 100-mile signals of the Vs in that
market--WTVF. Strangely enough, in those days, WTVF was short-spaced to Memphis'
WMC-TV, the NBC affil. Wonder how cable systems (what few existed then, probably)
and viewers fared with two close signals warring for that channel space? But more to the
point, why didn't the CA list ABC affil WNGE (now WKRN) or NBC affil WSM (now
WSMV)? Those two stations probably came in much clearer to viewers east of Jackson,
Tennessee, without the interference that would have dogged WTVF back in the day (all
memories now with DTV and ubiquitous cable, of course).
Point being, the CA was pretty arbitrary in its selections for the daily TV page. It may not
have been so with the Sunday insert, perhaps approaching the breadth of the old
Louisville Courier-Journal, with its listing of every TV signal that came into the state of
Kentucky. But I don't think I would have found the CA reliable if I were living in those
times. About the only thing that our new technologies have made simpler, IMO, is the
elimination of out-of-market OTA signals from cable systems (most of them, anyway).

as one would expect from a V in a geographically large, predominantly rural market like
Jackson. Its signal, by contrast, was probably visible in the southern part of the Delta. So
the CA's listing WAPT really made no sense.
Even more so, notably missing from this lineup is the one VHF station in the
Greenwood/Greenville area - WABG Channel 6 (ABC). I can't speak for its reach - and I
can only guess (without looking at old BC Yearbooks) that in 1976 they were still on a
shorter tower. Still, that would be an ABC I'd include before going with WAPT.
[side remark: There was an ad I saw in a late '60s Clarion-Ledger for WABG 6, touting
"the full ABC schedule" ... so I'm led to wonder how close a watchable signal extended
toward Jackson]
As for the Appeal's circulation area, I can guess that it's highly doubtful it reached much
beyond US 82 across the state. Below that, and you're in prime Clarion-Ledger territory.
At the same time, I do believe WAPT was on the cable system in Starkville (and for a
time, even WBRC/Birmingham was, too).
But that still doesn't explain the omission of WJTV 12. Prior to WXVT 15 powering up out
of Greenville and bring a local CBS to the area, I'd think WJTV had just as much
influence as WREG ... corresponding with the overlap of NBC on WLBT and WMC.
Or, here's a more proper short

answer: ?????????????????????????????????????????
Also conspicuously missing are the Arkansas stations, namely the three Little Rock V
affils, Jonesboro ABC affil KAIT, and the state ETV system. Perhaps this listing was
culled from a separate edition aimed at the areas east and south of Memphis, I don't
know. But that would be the only explanation I could imagine.
That's an even bigger head-scratcher. Jonesboro's cable historically carried the Little
Rock stations along with Memphis and local KAIT (and KTEJ 19 - AETN's repeater when
it signed on in 1976). Fact is, most of the Little Rock stations had virtually statewide
coverage cable-wise at one time or another.

KATV was even carried on the cable in West Memphis at one time.
I know the tv listings in the Commercial Appeal were zoned but that wouldn't explain this
channel line up.
WNGE was probably not viewed in too many counties where the CA circulated but WSM
was on the cable in Jackson along with WTVF.
Despite being on channel 5, WTVF was on the cable in more of West TN than any of the
other Nashville stations. There where some places in Northwest TN where ABC was
apparently WBBJ, NBC was WPSD and CBS was WTVF instead of WREG or KFVS
which makes no sense to me.

To Brian and Russell:
Russell, good job building upon my concerns! I didn't even notice the absence of WABG,
which makes all of this even more strange as hell. On channel 6, I suspect it might have
been seen as far north as Oxford and Tunica, perhaps, in counties that had plenty of CA
subscribers and paper boxes.
I don't know nearly as much about Arkansas, but I suspect you would be right in that at
least one, if not all, of the Little Rock Vs would be viewed in places like Forrest City,
Marianna, and Helena, in the Delta region. Maybe the CA didn't get good circulation in
Arkansas outside the extreme eastern counties along present-day Interstate 40, as it
might have in Mississippi. We must remember that Little Rock had a spirited competition
between two dailies, the Democrat and the Gazette (which have since merged), that
were surely available everywhere in the state, thereby leaving many retailers with no
room to have CA boxes in addition to the Little Rock dailies and the local papers.
As for you, Brian, you have brought up a point that is way-crazy, even by the standards
of that time. People would actually prefer watching CBS on Nashville's channel 5,
knowing full well that the signal might get interrupted by Memphis' WMC, rather than a
perhaps fuzzier, but more certain picture from WREG or even KFVS? On cable, of
course, it would not have been an issue due to different head ends (I would love to find
out info about where they would have been located), but cable was only available in the
county-seat towns (if there); out in the country, you apparently had to take your chances.
Has anybody on this forum ever spent time in ages past in that no-man's land (sorry,
ladies, for being sexist) of rural western Tennessee and encountered the WTVF/WMC
short-spacing issue and the war those signals obviously fought for reception on your
set?
I think your smiley answer, Russell, is the only one that can be provided regarding these
issues. But here's something to remember: the CA listed its sister TV station, WMC, first
everyday in the listings before WREG, WHBQ, and WKNO, despite having only the
second channel number sequentially (3, 5, 10, 13). The parent organization back then,
of course, was Scripps-Howard, then one of the biggest publishers and broadcasters
around. That may explain, for instance, the decision not to list Nashville's WSM as a rival
NBC station for western Tennessee (or KARK for eastern Arkansas)--although to be fair,
it did list WPSD for northwestern Tennessee, WTWV for northeastern Mississippi, and
WLBT for the Mississippi Delta. It also suggests that the paper "played favorites" with
those stations it did list, favoring some and excluding others on the basis of its
perceptions of how each station would affect the ratings of WMC. Sounds cynical, I
know, but even then TV was a cut-throat biz. (But then, how do you explain the absence
of the ETV systems in Arkansas and Mississippi? PBS had, as it does today, only a
miniscule audience.)

No Woman to Woman at 3 PM on KOMO TV was syndicated - I believe by Telepictures.

It was a low budget barter talk show. Amazed that in a city with 2 independents one of
them took the adult approach with drama shows, movies, and network rejects and
steered clear of cartoons except maybe on Saturday mornings and had hardly any
sitcoms to speak of. Usually that type of station would be in a market with 3 or more
independents. 13 KCPQ positioned itself as a network affiliate without a network leaving
a more traditional lineup on KSTW.
A year later in 1985, 22 KTZZ filled the void with tons of cartoons and classic sitcoms.
They did very well at first until in 1987 KCPQ 13 entered the kids business adding tons
of newer syndicated cartoons and a few sitcoms but still continuing to run tons of drama
shows and old movies and game shows. That station still steered clear of older sitcoms
with an occasional exception. By 1990 KTZZ was low rated and did not gain ground till
the mid 90's when KIRO evicted CBS only to take it back in 1997. KTZZ then picked up
cartoons from KSTW and a few sitcoms.

Yes, these were reruns of the NBC series, released this season to take advantage of Jim
Perry's stint on "Sale of the Century". The reruns were so popular, that "Card Sharks"
was revived in 1986, with Bob Eubanks hosting on CBS, and a syndicated nighttime
version hosted by Bill Rafferty.

KTZZ was an OK indie at first, but lots of older shows on the lineup, like Hawaii Five-0
and Perry Mason. Then by the early 1990s, KTZZ got worse. Talk shows in primetime,
lots of low budget barter stuff, and Casey Treat/Success N Life/700 Club in midday.
Around when KIRO's "out of the box" news format started (1993), KTZZ had a 10pm
newscast powered by KIRO. KSTW had better ratings, and so it went off the air. When
the WB took over, KTZZ got progressively better, talk shows in the day and late night,
cartoons in the morning and afternoon, and WB shows as well as a couple sitcoms (Step
by Step, etc.) in the early evening.
KCPQ had a Noon or 1PM daytime movie until the late 1990s. However, I think late 1987
or early 1988, KCPQ added a few cartoons. Zoobilee Zoo was the only children's show
in the daytime in the mid-1980s, airing at 8:30.
Thanks for letting me know about the Facts of Life reruns. I know KCPQ took the
preempted NBC/CBS shows until the early 1990s. The only way you could see Ray
Combs' Family Feud from CBS in Seattle was on KCPQ.

The full title is. "Do It For Yourself". Hosted by Mary Bellows, the show taught
housewives how to do simple home repairs and projects in a lighthearted manner.

Mary Bellows was very charming and attractive. I met her in person in 1985 at a
Simpson Sears store in Burnaby, BC when Mary was on a cross country promotional
tour. I still have the roll of making tape that she autographed for me

Re: Retro: South Georgia Monday, October 6, 1975
WJHG's "Daybusters" was anchored for years by Tom Hipps, with live music by Louie
Weaver's band. "Televisit" was their noon show hosted by Helen Schuh; it was formerly
hosted by one Betty Wright while Helen hosted an exercise show in the late '60s. A
couple of years earlier WJHG had "Kathy's Funhouse," a kid's show hosted by Kathy
Swigler, who also did their weather.
The CBS game show "Musical Chairs" also featured Sister Sledge before they hit it big
with "We Are Family." Other acts on the show included Lady Flash (Barry Manilow's
backup singers) and Lynn Kellogg.
WTCG, of course, later became WTBS (and then just TBS). Their 3:30 am newscast
was probably their comedy newscast with Bill Tush... or did it begin a year or two later?

The Cowboys beat the Lions 36-10. Lions Coach Ron Hudspeth called the Lions
quitters. He was fired after they went 7-7 in 1975.

...as I recall, throughout the early 1970s, WLUK/11 Green Bay wouldn't even run the
7:00 CT ABC offering (The Young Lawyers, The Silent Force, Nanny & The Professor,
The Rookies and Barbary Coast) on Monday night, dumping it off in late Sunday
afternoons (often against a Packers game on WBAY-TV/2/CBS or WFRV/5/NBC) in
order to run a couple of Packers-related shows, Packerama with Bart Starr and The
Quarterback Club with Fuzzy Thurston and Max McGee, the latter produced at Fuzzy's
Left Guard supper club...

Quarterback Club with Fuzzy Thurston and Max McGee, the latter produced at Fuzzy's
Left Guard supper club...
WVUE/8 New Orleans (ABC then, Fox now) even carried "The Rookies" at 6:30 in the
three years prior to this. At 7:30 they had "From The Pressbox" with sports director
Buddy Diliberto (who I believe went to NBC affiliate WDSU later). I seem to recall
WPLG/10 Miami having a Dolphins highlights show at 8:30 as well.
The next year the Falcons came to blows with WXIA; Steve Somers had become 11
Alive's sports anchor and one of his first assignments was a Falcons pre-season game.
That night, and on his regular sportscasts at 6 and 11, he constantly lambasted the
Falcons (once, showing a blown pass by Harmon Wages, who doubled as sports anchor
on WAGA, he said, "Well, there's Minimum Wages, thinking about his next sportscast on
Channel 5."). The Falcons took their highlights show to Channel 17 after that, not coming
back to 11 until after Somers was long gone. So in 1976, 11 carried "The Captain And
Tennille" at 8 and Monday-night football at 9, with "To Tell The Truth" at 7:30.
Even though the Falcons were perennial doormats in those days, and probably deserved
the criticism they got, viewers resented the idea of a sportscaster from the West Coast,
newly arrived in Atlanta, starting in knocking the local teams (he let the Braves have it,
too). Somers is probably in his element in New York, with his WFAN show.

Digression on the Panama City stations: my father was stationed at Tyndall in 1968-75
and I spent a good bit of my youth in P.C. I recall as a kid, I wrote a letter to WJHG
asking about the many cuts made in the Little Rascals films they ran. (Of course, they
ran the censored King World prints; WRBL in Columbus was still running the uncut
Interstate/Monogram prints well into the 80s.) I got a polite reply from station manager
Earl Hadaway, along with a 8x10 glossy of the Rascals circa 1930.
I recall just before WDTB channel 13 went on the air around 1973/74, they did several
test broadcasts nightly around 7 pm or so, airing old Universal films, from their original
studios on Harrison Avenue south of 4th Street, in an old adobe-looking building. I think
WJHG (7) had already moved out of their old studios in the former Commercial Bank
building on the corner of Harrison Avenue and Beach Drive, to their current home on
Front Beach Road. Since WJHG had switched from NBC to ABC, WDTB became the
NBC affiliate. A few years later, the stations would swap networks; WDTB changed its
calls to WMBB (for "World's Most Beautiful Beaches"), and they would move several
blocks north, into the old Nelson Buick building.
When I returned to P.C. for a radio job in 1982, I noticed that WMBB was using a dotmatrix chyron for their news supers, which looked pretty bad. I asked one of their
employees why this was so, and he told me that the chyron was only intended for use on
remotes and they could not yet afford the units with the fancier fonts.

The South Georgia edition of TV Guide: easily the most confusing edition published east
of the Mississippi River. At one time or another this version carried listings from two
Channel 3's (Columbus and Savannah), two Channel 4's (Jacksonville and Dothan), two
Channel 7's (Jacksonville and Panama City) three Channel 11's (Atlanta, Savannah and
Tallahassee), two Channel 13's (Macon and Panama City) and two Channel 17's
(Atlanta and Jacksonville). I got a headache every time I picked up a copy of this edition.
Retro: Northern Alabama Tuesday, December 11, 1973

NOTE: At 9 PM (CT) WSIX Ch. 8 becomes WNGE (WKRN) Ch. 2.
Listings did not begin to reflect this until the Dec. 15 issue of
TV Guide, so here I will use Ch. 8 for ABC in Nashville.

Re: Retro: Northern Alabama Tuesday, December 11, 1973
When did Channel 5 in Nashville start clearing the CBS programming from 9:00-10:00
a.m.? I remember in the late 60's and early 70's that Channel 8 would carry the CBS
reruns (Lucy Show, Beverly Hillbillies, IIRC) that 4-19-33-40-42 carried.

Good ole WOWL. They later moved As the World Turns to 3:30 and added Guiding
Light, too. I remember watching both of those in summers when I went back to visit
relatives after we moved to Memphis. I don't know how long WOWL cleared the CBS
soaps, but it was into 1980 at least.
The one thing I can't get out of my head is a jingle played nightly during the evening
newscast on WOWL. This would've been in the 1970-76 range. It was for the Shawnee
brand of flour. "It's as easy as 1 2 3, and Shawnee adds the ME!" It was the silliest jingle,
and my dad would always scream about them playing "that damned commercial" at least
twice in every broadcast, every night for years. Funny how we remember such weird
insignificant things.

7 AM Mornings With Siegel (I don't think Stanley Siegel went over

too well in Nashville; he did better on WCBS, as I recall.)
...Siegel was indeed on WCBS-TV/2 for a while, but his big splash in NYC was made
when Bill Fyffe, Siegel's old boss at then-ABC affiliate WLUK/11 Green Bay*, was made
GM at WABC-TV/7 and he brought Siegel up from Nashville. I don't recall exactly why he
jumped to WCBS (whether he quit or was canned by WABC), but I recall his old WABC
slot being given to sportscaster Warner Wolf for a Donahue-like talk show...
*Siegel was fired from WLUK for a piece he did spoofing garbologist A.J. Weberman`s
early `70s surveys of Bob Dylan`s garbage. The individual whose garbage Siegel chose
to study was that of Don Sidney, the competing anchorman on WFRV/5, then the NBC
affiliate in Green Bay. He didn`t bother to get Sidney`s permission for the piece, and
when Siegel found a sizeable quantity of liquor bottles, he passed a comment about
Sidney`s taste in alcoholic drinks. It turned out that Sidney had indeed been struggling
with a drinking problem for a while up to that broadcast, and he threatened to sue The
Post Corporation (WLUK`s owners at the time) for invasion of privacy and libel if they
didn`t fire Siegel. Stanley surfaced in Nashville.

Re: Retro: Birmingham, Monday 10/23/72
Y'know, I never understood why Channel 6 bumped the 1:30 slot, tape-delaying "Dating
Game" to the morning hour? They even continued this practice for a time, even after
"Dating" was canceled.
Sounded to me like a lot of needless wear and tear on the VTR machine.
--Russell
I would assume that this World Peace Luncheon on Channel 6 at 12:30 PM was a local
event and I thought that Veteran's Day was celebrated in November rather than October
thus why did Channel 6 air the parade not once but twice.
4:30 PM
13 - Andy Griffith
42 - Mayberry R.F.D.
I wonder how many other stations aired not only the main show but the
spinoff/continuation not just on different stations at the same time but together on one
channel. Also did any Birmingham station ever carry The Beverly Hillbillies in reruns
(1972 on not the daytime run on CBS)?

They pre-empted "Dating Game" at 1:30 even before this; in 1968-69 they carried "Pay
Cards!", the syndicated game show distributed by Ch. 6's then-owners, Taft
Broadcasting. I think management saw a potentially-lucrative timeslot between
"Newlywed Game" and "General Hospital" (the latter, at the time, Birmingham's numberone daytime show, IIRC); at the same time some ABC affiliates in the Eastern time zone,
such as Atlanta's Ch. 11 and Louisville's Ch. 32, found it lucrative to run movies at 3:30,
bumping "One Life To Live" and "Love, American Style" to the morning, to take
advantage of the "GH" lead-in, no doubt (even though I think "Another World" on WSB
was tops at 3 PM in Atlanta). To do this in Birmingham would have meant moving the
afternoon movie to 2:30, and "OLTL" and "Love, American Style" were more popular in
Birmingham than in either Atlanta or Louisville.

The Uniform Monday Holiday Act mandated that Veterans Day would be observed on
the fourth Monday in October. Veterans Day was observed as such from 1971-77. In
1978 it reverted to being observed on 11/11.

So were all holidays observed on a Monday, including Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas
and New Year's?

Re: Retro: Spokane, WA - Wednesday, March 16, 1988
Normally I can trust my memory for things like this, but I can't in this case. Like you, I'm
assuming it was the network version based on its pairing with Super Password.
There was a time when KHQ aired both versions of the show. If memory serves, the
syndicated version aired at 7:30 pm (during the brief period when the station dropped
Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!), while the network version aired at 10:30 am.

Re: RETRO: MEMPHIS, SATURDAY, NOV. 1, 1986, By Request
Was this in place of SNL? Interesting that Leno would have a show (other than Tonight
where I am guessing that he was guest-hosting at the time) and that Letterman would be
his guest. You wouldn't see that now!

Where was the time zone boundary in those days? As I mentioned in the preface to the
original post, ch 12 was EST-were there any others in the coverage area? Also, is there
any source giving 56's full sked for the day? The Pittsburgh paper only carried regional
listings for PGH and ch 6, 7 and 9.

No network programming for ABC stations was listed prior to 3 P.M. EDT that day, but
that would change the following Monday (October 13th), when ABC began feeding
network programs from 11 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. ET, and again from 2 to 3 P.M. ET (I believe
the 1:30-2 P.M. ET half-hour remained with local stations).
I suspect the October 13th date was chosen because the World Series (played in the
daylight back then) would be over, and even back then, there were some female
baseball fans, so instead of competing against the Fall Classic, ABC waited until it was
over. Internally, according to several histories of the network, the daytime expansion was
called "Operation Daybreak, although ABC would not, other than special news coverage
(especially of early-morning space launches), not program the early-morning hours on a
regular basis until "A.M. America" premiered in early 1975.
The date of the expansion of the ABC daytime schedule was based on a post at
http://www.sandiegoradionews.com/0180202.htm . I assume that these schedules were
the same in both the Eastern and Pacific time zones.

Again, all six stations on the air in New York in the fall of simulcast the NBC World Series
feed this year. This was at the behest of the principal sponsors including Gilette. This
multi-station simulcast was repeated in New York once more for the 1949 World Series
(which was a closely fought subway series involving the Yankees and Brooklyn
Dodgers); by then WOR-TV had begun operation, and it increased the size of the World
Series simulcast to seven stations.

Re: Retro: New York City, Monday, October 11, 1948
I believe that the TV rights to the World Series back then were not held by any network,
but by the sponsor, Gilette Razor Blades, with their ad agency possibly producing the
telecasts.
The simulcast was done not so much for New York, but in an effort to insure that every
city on the "coaxial cable" (back then, it went along the East Coast from Richmond north
to New York and then split into two links, going to Schenectady and Boston; it would not
be until September of 1951 that it reached the West Coast) would have the Series seen
on at least one station.
I'm pretty sure this pattern continued through the early 1950's, and even later with
regular-season flagship stations simulcasting the network feed. For example, NBC's
coverage of the 1967 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals
was simulcast here in Boston on both WBZ-4 (then the NBC affiliate) and the old
WHDH-5 (which at the time was the Red Sox flagship station during the regular-season)

The 1948 World Series used Stratovision to connect the east and midwest

Fenway 1912:
I knew Stratovision had been developed by 1948, but I did not know it was actually used
to connect the East and Midwest for the World Series.
Vintage TV listings in the Boston Globe during the 1948 Series do not indicate that the
games in Cleveland would be televised in Boston.
I wonder if it was also used on the day after the 1948 election to beam Governor Tom
Dewey's concession speech to the Midwest (President Truman's victory speech wasn't
shown anywhere on TV, it was in Independence, Missouri near Kansas City, which was
not yet connected to network lines and as far as I know, didn't yet have any local TV
stations).

I have never seen any story about the games in Cleveland being beamed to the east.
The plane was set up to relay WMAR-TV in Baltimore but perhaps the station in
Cleveland did not have the equipment needed to get a signal to plane.
New York and Chicago were connected in early 1949.

Here's a link to an article from the Cleveland Plain Dealer for Monday, October 11, 1948,

I am taking an educated guess that Stratovision had no way of sending a Midwest signal
to the east. Cleveland did not win the pennant until they beat the Red Sox in a playoff
game and there would not have been enough time to set WEWS-TV up.
I suspect that the delay in AT&T connecting New York and Chicago was that Pittsburgh
didn't get VHF until 1949 and that was DuMont to boot.
However Buffalo was connected to New York when WBEN-TV signed on in May of 1948
and Buffalo/Cleveland should have been an easy connect for AT&T. It 'appears' that
AT&T waited until WICU-12 in Erie, PA came along in 1949 to make the connection.
I am assuming that Erie was the connect point between east and midwest.

to New York and then split into two links, going to Schenectady and Boston;
New York- Schenectady is quite a leap. Would there have been a mid point somewhere,
or did the signal stretch that far back then?

New York-Albany-Buffalo was set up first and Boston was a separate line.

sign on?
According to Wikipedia, the first version of WNIN signed-on in 1970 under the ownership
of the local school board, but went dark sometime in 1972 due to financial problems. The
channel would re-launch the following year under new owners Southwest Indiana Public
Television (now Tri-State Public Media).

Re: Retro: Philadelphia Sat, Sept 26, 1953
Nothing was listed for WFIL-6 from 1 to 3:30 P.M.
According to Shrp Sports.com, the Philadelphia Phillies hosted (and beat) the Brooklyn
Dodgers that day at the old Shibe Park.
Could WFIL have carried that game??

I wouldn't rule it out, though I haven't been able to come across a list of which station
had TV rights that year...

Here's a page out of Telecasting Magazine that states that all 3 Philadelphia stations
rotated the games in 1953, so it may have been WFIL-6's turn..

Re: Retro: Boston Wednesday February 21, 1962
This was also the day after John Glenn's pioneering orbital space flight.
If he returned to Cape Canaveral that day, I would think that regular programming
scheduled for the time he arrived at the Cape would be pre-empted for live coverage of
his arrival ceremony.
The women's show at 10:05 A.M. on WHDH-5 was titled "For Women Only", hostess
Chris Evans (who sometimes billed herself as Christine Evans) wound up working at
WHDH Radio and/or the original WHDH-TV for some two decades from the mid-1940's
to the mid-1960's.
It's also interesting that Johnny Carson was a guest on Perry Como's NBC variety show
that night. I wonder if he had already agreed to succeed Jack Paar as host of the
"Tonight Show" by the time he appeared on "Como" and perhaps announced "Perry, I'm
leaving 'Who Do You Trust' at the end of September to take over 'The Tonight Show'".
BTW, Como's show was actually titled "The Kraft Music Hall" (although there were some
comedy segments), in deference to sponsor Kraft Foods.
Pass the Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (or is it Kraft Cheese and Macaroni?), please! I
want some!

I don't think Carson was named as the new host until March. He had 6 months remaining
on his ABC deal at that point and NBC used guest hosts (including Jack Paar) from
March through September. Carson did make at least one guest appearance on NBC
while waiting - there was a clip on YouTube where he pops up as one of Mitch Miller's
Sing Along Gang.

Here is Johnny singing with Mitch Miller

The clip on You Tube was a rebroadcast as in the ending credits there is a VO promoting
a Detroit-Montreal hockey game and Mr. Roberts which would indicate the show aired in
April of 1966.

This was the first full day of broadcasting for WHDH. The guide had them running all
week because they were supposed to debut two weeks before and theoretically could
have debuted any day during that time. They began operations the day before.

Actually WDXR-TV went dark a few years before, IIRC around 1976.
The heart of nearly every home was its radio. Radio has always kept us up to date on
any subject. Radio is your friend, Well always be here for you, our friends, our listeners.
Radio never an intruder, always a guest. . . . Edith Bennett 1931-2013

Francis Nash's book "Towers Over Kentucky" says the station signed on the air May
31,1971 by the McKinney-Smith family as sister to WDXR radio. It doesn't say when they
signed off the air but does indicate the license was given to KET in 1978.

Did stations not even sign on until their network's programming started? 7:00 a.m.
seems late for a sign-on for a network affiliate, but maybe times were different then.

...or, in highly rural states like Wisconsin and Minnesota, the pre-network schedule was
often filled with programs for the agricultural markets, before the farmers went out to milk
the cows or plow the fields. Thise were big money makers back in the day. Even the
Milwaukee and Minneapolis stations sometimes syndicated their agribusiness shows to
smaller markets like La Crosse/Eau Claire and Green Bay...

When did WCVN ch.54, the KET outlet for Covington / Cincinnati become listed? If this
edition was sold in the Cincinnati area, I wonder why that station was not listed after
being on the air for 10 years?

IIRC, Cincinnati had its own edition, which included Dayton (the color scheme
for the two markets was the reverse of that in the Dayton edition) but not Columbus.
The Dayton edition was not sold in Cincinnati, IIRC, so Ch. 54 would have been in the
Cincinnati edition; it was also in the Kentucky edition as part of Kentucky Educational
Television. To my knowledge, Ch. 54 was never listed in the Dayton edition.
Remember that TV Guide had a rule that a station had to reach at least 15% of an
edition's circulation area to be included. Ch. 54's coverage area appears to have been
in Cincinnati and northern Kentucky; after all, it was a Covington (KY) station.
Retro: This Week in TV Guide, October 10, 1981 - MSP Edition

This week we take a look at the culture of the 80s - VCRS, video disc players and old
Apple computers. We also see some proposed programming changes - some
successful, some not so much. Danny Kaye stars in the movie "Skokie," Jaclyn Smith is
Jackie Kennedy, Mork and Mindy get married, and more.

In those days ABC daytime followed a clock-time schedule, necessitated by
"American Bandstand" being on at 4 and "Discovery" at 4:30. The schedule
went like this in all time zones:
11 AM Tennessee Ernie Ford Show

11:30 Yours For A Song
12 N Jane Wyman Presents
12:30 Camouflage
12:55 ABC Midday Report
1 PM (Local)
2 PM Day In Court
2:30 Seven Keys
3 PM Queen For A Day
4:30 Discovery
4:55 American Newsstand
I've seen ABC affiliates in Texas which followed this schedule. I wonder why Ch. 6 did
not.

Hmm. And no American Bandstand. Maybe it was too "edgy" for Birmingham. I wonder if
there is a list of markets where AB wasn't aired during its M-F days.

Sadly, there may have been another reason: Racism.
Many early rock 'n roll performers were black, and I suspect that given "Bandstand"'s
Philadelphia home base at the time, there may also have been some African-American
teenagers in the audience who danced on-camera by the Fall of 1962.
Don't forget that there was a lot of institutional racism in the Southeast at that time. "Jim
Crow" was still a major force.
Indeed in his memoir Rock, Roll, and Remember, Dick Clark wrote that during the early
1960's, his Summertime "Caravan Of Stars" rock 'n roll tours eventually stopped going
into the Southeast after some nasty incidents involving Southerners and some of the
black performers on the tours. Clark wrote of one such incident when a tour bus stopped
at a restaurant for lunch, but the restaurant would not serve the bus passengers
because some of them were black.
Clark negotiated a compromise: Mary (DeeDee) Sperling (of Dick and DeeDee fame)
was allowed to cook hamburgers for those on the bus, but the restaurant charged her
(and Clark) twice the regular price for those burgers. But then, some "tough-looking"
local men came around, and stirred up trouble.
Eventually, the Clark tour party was able to get out of town, but after that incident, Clark
decided against future bookings in that part of the country.
I would also think that (maybe our own B. Patrick can help me) Nat "King" Cole's 195657 NBC variety show was never broadcast in Birmingham (or in much of the Southeast);
I wouldn't even be surprised if the Birmingham TV stations declined to carry live
coverage of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s march on Washington in August of 1963.

One market where the show wasn't seen during most of it's five-days-a-week network
run isn't too far from me: Providence. It wasn't until WTEV-6 (now WLNE) signed on in
January of 1963 that "Bandstand" finally was broadcast in Providence.
Prior to that, ABC had no primary affiliate in the Providence area. The two existing TV
stations in the market, WJAR-10 (a primary NBC affiliate) and WPRO-12 (now WPRI, a
primary CBS affiliate) each carried a handful of ABC programs, nearly all of them primetime shows. Almost no ABC daytime programming was seen in that city.
From the Fall of 1957 until the end of 1962, many in the Providence/New Bedford market
who wanted to see "American Bandstand" were probably able to see it on the old
WHDH-5 Boston (from the time it signed-on in November, 1957 through December 30th,
1960) and then the old WNAC-7 (beginning January 2nd, 1961).

The only Southern NBC affiliate I can definitely say carried Nat King Cole's
Tuesday-night 1957-58 show was WSB and that station dropped it before
it was canceled (not so much because of Cole's color, since WSB's g.m. at
the time, Mark Bartlett, was one of the most racially-progressive station
managers in the South in those days, but rather the competition from "Name
That Tune" on WAGA and the "Cheyenne/Sugarfoot" combo on WLW-A (WXIA)).
I do know that not one NBC affiliate in North Carolina or in Greenville, South Carolina,
carried Cole's show.

I don't think it was so much a matter of racism that caused WBRC to preempt American
Bandstand as it was that they were in a "mano a mano" competition with WAPI, since
they were the only two commercial stations in a Top 40-ish TV market. The Bozo show
on Channel 6 featured kids in the studio audience, as did the Three Stooges/Popeye
show on Channel 13. Channel 6's kids show was hosted by Birmingham radio
personality Ward McIntyre, who at the time was on middle of the road station WBRCAM. McIntyre had shot to fame in the '50's on Birmingham's seminal Top 40 station
WSGN. Channel 13's show was hosted by Birmingham TV icon "Cousin" Cliff Holman.
Keep in mind that while WBRC and WAPI were Birmingham stations, they also were the
only TV stations available over the air to a large portion of central and north Alabama.
And most of the real estate they served was very rural: smaller cities like Tuscaloosa,
Anniston and Gadsden, but also small towns like Clanton, Jasper, Oneonta, Cullman,
Talladega and Sylacauga.
While Birmingham had the deserved reputation for racism, in many ways it was quite the
progressive city in the '60's. The forementioned WSGN, as well as competiting Top 40
station WVOK, had no qualms about playing hits recorded by African-American artists,
be they from Motown, Memphis, Philadelphia or wherever.
The main reason why WBRC, and to a lesser extent WAPI, showed so many shows out
of pattern was money. They could and did make a killing selling local ad spots during the
hours of the day when more people were watching TV. In fact, Channel 6 continued the
practice of delaying network programming to off-hours well into the late '70's and early
'80's. And don't forget that from the time that Channel 13 became an exclusive NBC
affiliate in 1970 until 1995 they delayed the Tonight Show until 11:30/11:35 in order to
show sitcom reruns (M*A*S*H, Cheers, Taxi, All in the Family all come to mind) after the
10:00 news.

Wrong.
"American Bandstand" was carried, each afternoon, on WLBT channel 3 in Jackson,

Mississippi. Google that one, my friend. And this was at the same time their station
manager was cutting off network feeds if the content was not to his liking.
The lack of AB carriage, as Charles pointed out, was most of all financial. Both
Birmingham stations had highly-popular local afternoon kid-TV franchises at the time.
Also, like Charles said, we had a world-class radio landscape that included some very
good top-40s, and - it must be noted - a monster R&B station (WENN).
If we're going to talk about attitudes, let's think about the Midwest and North. From all
I've been able to glean from various old airchecks of stations all over the U.S., there was
a striking "white-bread" quality to many top-40s in the Midwest and especially New
England, versus the South, where R&B was well-represented on even mainstream rock
playlists. PS - Am I mistaken, or was Boston a major "Bandstand"-free zone, due to the
local ABC affil?
My intent is not to turn this into a north/south debate ... and I'm not whitewashing what
happened in Birmingham, and other cities "down here" ... but I have to speak up
whenever somebody makes the "oh yeah, Birmingham. Police dogs 'n' fire hoses. They
must hate everything black down there" assumption.

Russell:
Thanks to you (and others) for illuminating why "American Bandstand" wasn't seen in
Birmingham circa 1962.
I wonder what would have happened if Birmingham had three commercial VHF stations
back then (with all three networks having a primary affiliate) if the fulltime ABC station
would have carried "Bandstand".
Given what has been mentioned on the board in response to my post, the answer is
"perhaps".
Once more, thanks for your comments. They are welcomed and appreciated.

Having lived in Birmingham myself (I was there when 13 went fulltime NBC and
42 fulltime CBS), I know how pre-emption happy those stations (and especially 6)
were, and I have to agree that Russell is right on in his analysis. But my original
question was why did 6 not carry ABC daytime on a clock-time basis (meaning one
hour after their airing in the Eastern time zone) rather than carry the shows
simultaneously
with the East Coast, even if the station did choose to pre-empt "Bandstand" and
"Discovery."
Perhaps the reason is "Secret Storm" on CBS, a network which did not use clock time
(other
than "Captain Kangaroo" and, later, its morning newscast) and which aired the soap at 3
(CT).
I wonder what would have happened if Birmingham had three commercial VHF stations
back then (with all three networks having a primary affiliate) if the fulltime ABC station
would have carried "Bandstand".
Given what has been mentioned on the board in response to my post, the answer is
"perhaps".
What's remarkable about Alabama is how two other markets -- Huntsville/Decatur (north)
and Montgomery (central) -- both of which were and are smaller than Birmingham, the
state's largest city -- had three commercial stations before Birmingham did! (We could
also count Mobile, if we factor in the ABC out of Pensacola, Fla., also in the market).
Birmingham didn't get its third commercial TV channel until the Fall of 1965, when
WBMG-TV Channel 42 first signed on. At first, it was an independent station, but from
the start the station's schedule was mostly whatever network programs 13 - and 6 didn't pick up. It was that point when most network programs began airing in
Birmingham, such as Ed Sullivan and Johnny Carson.
Channel 42, for a time, aired "Bandstand", but by the end of the 1960s, WBRC took it.

WSGN. Channel 13's show was hosted by Birmingham TV icon "Cousin" Cliff Holman.
Keep in mind that while WBRC and WAPI were Birmingham stations, they also were the
only TV stations available over the air to a large portion of central and north Alabama.
And most of the real estate they served was very rural: smaller cities like Tuscaloosa,
Anniston and Gadsden, but also small towns like Clanton, Jasper, Oneonta, Cullman,
Talladega and Sylacauga.
Your last paragraph, Charles, is perhaps the most operative in a question like this. And
this is because even at this late date, TV had not gotten but a moderate foothold in rural
Alabama, either among whites or blacks. Many households still considered TV a luxury;
they had to make do with radio, the local county-seat AM station during the daytime and
clear channels like WSM (whites) and WLAC (blacks) at night. With the medium
probably not getting a critical mass in the countryside until well after 1965, WBRC and
WAPI were primarily concerned with Jefferson County in the first place and not with rural
Alabama.
So the racial animosities that were actually more pronounced in the small towns and
villages didn't really play a major factor in programming decisions, except, of course, for
the well-known instance of Howard K. Smith's infamous CBS documentary back in late
1961 about Birmingham's Civil Rights troubles in which he made an editorial remark
toward the end of the program. That remark was in support of desegregation--something
out front and center for then-affiliate WBRC's white viewers to raise all manner of hell
about. Shortly thereafter, WBRC made a drastic affiliation change--to third-place ABC,
leaving CBS to be picked up part-time by WAPI. Perhaps there is some poetic justice,
though, in the fact that immediately after that broadcast and falling out with Bill Paley
and others, Smith trotted right over to ABC--the exact network WBRC joined to get away
from CBS' all-but-obvious endorsement of the Movement. That's probably the reason, as
well, why WBRC didn't clear ABC's evening newscast, on which Smith had become coanchor, until 1972. Prior to then, Smith mainly did documentaries and the Sunday
morning political interview Issues and Answers; it would be splendid if someone could
find out whether WBRC cleared those shows Smith was on.
Now, back to my main argument: with the coming of the FCC mandate of new TV sets to
be equipped with UHF tuning in 1964 and the arrival of eventually three UHF outlets in
central Alabama (all clearing the CBS and NBC shows WAPI turned down), things
probably got a little more complicated in this regard, as this would have been about the
same time that households who could not afford sets previously finally began earning
enough money through factory jobs, instead of farming or mining. With those folks now
tuning in, stations probably had to be a lot more careful, even though the standard
narrative would have prejudices breaking down over time. School integration had
become the hot issue in rural Alabama, with white parents pulling their children out of
public schools in favor of the "seg" academies. With the world coming in close to home,
so to speak, station managers, particularly those with the new UHFs WBMG, WCFT
(Tuscaloosa), and WHMA (Anniston), facing Fairness Doctrine requirements to give both
sides of an issue air time if one party, say the White Citizens' Councils, made a
controversial assertion or accusation, probably decided to downplay news coverage and
preempt network documentaries that dealt with racial concerns or the Vietnam War
(patriotism was, and is, a strong suit with white Southerners, who did not take kindly to
news criticizing U.S. policy overseas).
Of course, I am not making the claim that this is for certain; my conjectures here might
well be proved wanting. But I suspect that caution and perhaps censorship actually
increased as the Movement made gains throughout the decade. The atmosphere was
highly charged with anger and fear, and conservative businessmen as station
management and ownership were, they did not want to take chances.

Also, WBMG picked up Walter Cronkite, which WAPI apparently
dropped when he and Huntley-Brinkley both expanded from 15
to 30 minutes. Interestingly, a market with a reputation for
racial progressiveness, Atlanta, was also denied Cronkite from
1962-66; WAGA pre-empted it and carried (believe it or not)
"Amos 'n' Andy." Then WAII (Channel 11) carried Cronkite briefly,
in 1963, along with ABC's Ron Cochran, but was no match for
Huntley-Brinkley on WSB.
WBRC, WAII (WXIA), WLOS, and WRAL were among those that carried Peter Jennings
the first time (1965-68). But when Frank Reynolds was brought in
and a commentary segment was added, these stations (and many more, such as
WLKY Louisville and some farther north) had owners who felt Reynolds too liberal;
ABC paired him with Smith to achieve some political balance, but it didn't work. These
stations dropped ABC's newscast and only gradually came back, particularly after Harry
Reasoner replaced Reynolds; the combination of his name (made at CBS) and his
scolding
of the holdout ABC affiliates at the 1971 affiliates' convention ("Any station with a
network
affiliation and not carrying that network's newscast is a disgrace.") had the effect of
bringing
the holdout stations back; WBRC and WJRT Flint were the last to pick up Smith and
Reasoner,
on August 7, 1972. And the ratings were on the rise anyway; I don't know how much
longer
those last two stations could have held out. None of them seemed to have any problem
with
Smith and Reasoner co-anchoring conventions and election nights; I don't recall WBRC
pre-empting
ABC's political coverage.
Somebody in Birmingham correct me on this, but isn't Scott Pelley number one down
there now?
(Diane Sawyer is the runaway number-one in Atlanta, but WSB is the ABC affiliate now,
and my
cat could be Ch. 2's news anchor, be number one locally, and hand off his huge
audiences to
ABC.)

This was the day that JFK announced the presence of missiles in Cuba--so would his
address have pre-empted part of the prime-time lineup? 50 years ago in two weeks from
tomorrow.

I don't have access to local TV ratings, but I wouldn't be surprised if WBRC's locally
produced national/world newscast doesn't win at 5:30. Of the big four stations in the
market Channel 42 has the strongest lead-in to their 5:00 newscast, so I could see how
the CBS Evening News would outpace either ABC or NBC.
Current 4:00 p.m. offerings:
6-WBRC (Fox): Judge Judy x2

13-WVTM (NBC): Ellen
33/40-WCFT/WJSU (ABC): Focus @ 4 (locally produced longform newscast)
42-WIAT (CBS): Dr. Phil

The speech was at 7 P.M. EDT, 6 CDT (was Birmingham on Daylight or Standard Time
then??)
Assuming that Birmingham was on Daylight Time, WBRC-6's broadcast of "Rescue 8"
and WAPI-13's broadcast of local news (at 6 P.M. CT) and "Huntley/Brinkley" (at 6:15
CT) would have been pre-empted. They appear to have had a local newscast at 5:30
local and the "CBS Evening News" with Walter Cronkite at 5:45 local, which probably did
air as usual. The 6:45 EDT feed of Cronkite probably had a live close (even if it was
otherwise a tape of the 6:30 EDT feed) so he could alert viewers to "stay tuned for CBS
News live coverage of President Kennedy's speech, which will begin immediately
following a station break".
Of course, the White House had notified the networks a few hours earlier (without
announcing the reason why) that Kennedy would be going on TV at that hour.
I was a very small tyke then, but vaguely recall seeing the speech, and I am willing to
guess that at least some of the prime-time network program schedule (especially
between 7:30 and 8 P.M. EDT) may have been pre-empted for commentary and
analysis.
I in fact would rank it as one of the five most important speeches ever made by a U.S.
President on television, along with President Lyndon Johnson's decision not to run for
re-election in 1968; President Ronald Reagan's speech after the Challenger disaster;
President George W. Bush speaking at the World Trade Center site a few days after the
attack vowing that the terrorists "will hear from all of us soon"; and current President
Barack Obama announcing that terrorist mastermind Osama Bin-Laden had been killed
by U.S. special forces.

One picky point: there was no 6:30 Eastern feed on CBS or NBC in 1962.
Both were still 15 minutes, at 6:45 and 7:15 (ET). Thetwo newscasts did
not expand to 30 minutes until September 1963, at which time the feeds were
offered at 6:30 and 7 PM.
As for ABC, it had six 15-minute feeds starting at 6 (ET); by around 1965 it
had added feeds at 5:30 and 5:45 (I remember Peter Jennings airing in Richmond
at 5:45 in the fall of 1966). ABC didn't go to 30 minutes until January 1967; originally
there were four feeds: 5:30, 6, 6:30, and 7. The 5:30 feed was dropped in the fall
of 1968; the 6 PM feed was dropped in 1982.
And I believe the Birmingham listing that was posted showed Ch. 13 carrying HuntleyBrinkley at 5:45 and Cronkite at 6:15. In the late '60s, Ch. 6 dropped Frank Reynolds
and started its own world-news report with Joe Langston, and it beat both CBS and
NBC. Even after 6 added Smith and Reasoner at 5, and expanded its local news to
30 minutes at 5:30 (a common practice in the Central time zone in the '70s), it was
the hands-down winner, and I recall that "To Tell The Truth" at 6 was at one time the
number-one show in Birmingham.
My reason for asking if Scott Pelley is number one in Birmingham is because of the
strong showing WIAT has been making in the last few years. When I lived in Birmingham
in the early '70s CBS was very weak, and it has come as a surprise to me to see CBS
scoot
to the top there (but then again, there's a whole generation that doesn't remember
Howard
K. Smith's "CBS Reports" broadcast on Birmingham that was a factor in 6 going from
CBS to
ABC, something that was still in the not-too-distant past when I was there; also there are
people who grew up in the '60s and '70s who still have fond memories of Tommy
Charles,
Sergeant Jack, and the wrestler Tojo Yamamoto--all of whom were on 42).

And I believe the Birmingham listing that was posted showed Ch. 13 carrying HuntleyBrinkley at 5:45 and Cronkite at 6:15.
They did, and when both went to 30 minutes, 13 was forced to choose one (as one can
reasonably conclude they didn't want a full hour of network news!). For reasons not
difficult to understand, they went with NBC. If you crunch the numbers during the 196170 dual period, a favoring toward the Peacock can be detected.
Which raises a (somewhat) related curiosity: a year later, WAPI-TV still had As the World
Turns (no big surprise), so on the day JFK was assassinated it can be safely assumed
they rolled with the initial CBS News bulletins. A big question I'd love to have answered
is whether 13 stayed with CBS, or - at some point (the 1:00 cutaway, maybe?) swapped feeds to pick up NBC's coverage.

#1 -My jaw is still slack over Channel 42's rise. Obviously a generational thing, because
even today, despite WIAT's very good presentation and production values, the feeling of
charity (or outright pity) I get whenever I hear the words "Channel 42" and "Birmingham"
in the same sentence is so embedded in my DNA that I'm working overtime to shake
it! ;D Seriously, 42 has shed that old skin, its news product is fully competitive with FOX
6 and ABC 33/40, and has achieved the unthinkable in my lifetime: epic embarrassment
to Channel 13 (NBC), the state's first TV station. I am in sober amazement and
admiration for Channel 42.
#2 -The factor Howard K. Smith's Birmingham documentary had on Channel 6 flipping to

ABC is complicated. It wasn't "How DARE they? Gladys, get me Leonard Goldenson on
the phone!!!!" The fact is - and it's documented in Mr. Goldenson's 1991 bio - the switch
to ABC was part of a realignment among Taft Broadcasting stations. There was a
friendship involved here, and according to the book it was a gesture of support for
struggling ABC, which at the time (1961) was racking up a few hit shows.
CBS was too much a lucrative money machine for the state's biggest signal, and as we
all know the only "skin color" that ultimately counts is GREEN. STILL ... without any of us
having been in WBRC's management suites in the aftermath of the CBS Reports doc,
we can guess to a good degree of truth that a lot of fists were shaken at CBS. Which
leads me to my own postulation on the matter: When Taft's edict came down that ABC
was going to be their new network, I don't think there was a whole lot of objection by
management. The reaction might well have been, "Phew! Now I won't get the nasty calls
from Emil and Ethel out in Weogufka!!"
--Russell
B. Patrick:
Thanks for clearing this issue up.
One interesting note about Howard K. Smith is that he did a

news/magazine/commentary program for ABC from the time he came (late 1961?) until
1963. At the time, he also anchored most ABC television special events/breaking news
coverage (except space flights; science correspondent Jules Bergman did that), and
would continue to anchor or co-anchor most of ABC's special event/breaking news
coverage (again, except for space shots) through the 'Sixties while other newsmen
manned ABC's evening news anchor desk.
Smith didn't get to co-anchor ABC's evening newscast until 1969.

I vaguely remember certain events about 11/22/63...I was a few months short of turning
four years old, but events such as these leave an indelible mark on your memory.
I asked my mom about the CBS/NBC situation that day. She said that as best as she
could remember, Channel 13 switched from the coverage on CBS to NBC's about 20-30
minutes after CBS interrupted "As the World Turns".

Charles, I thank you! On 11/22/1963, my parents were freshly engaged to be married both idealistic students at Birmingham Southern. My squeezing-out had yet to wreck
their idyllic world. ;-)
What your Mom recollects is exactly as my gut would have guessed. 1:00 would have
been a great time to flip. Check NBC in cue, they're also going to a station break, so let's
get this done.
--Russell
Raleigh/Durham, which also had two commercial stations and one educational (as PBS
stations were
called then), handled the aftermath of the JFK assassination a bit more orderly. ABC
affiliate WRAL/5
stayed with that network; WTVD/11 (CBS/NBC) was a CBS primary, carried Walter
Cronkite nightly, and
stayed with CBS the whole weekend (it was carrying "As The World Turns" when
Cronkite interrupted with
the first bulletin that JFK had possibly been shot and wounded). WUNC/4, the
noncommercial station, picked
up NBC's coverage; otherwise, viewers in the Triangle would have had to watch a snowy
picture on WECT/6,
WITN/7, or WSJS (WXII)/12.
Although CBS cut off "ATWT" at the second commercial break, and the show's viewers
didn't see the end of
that day's episode (in the Eastern, Central, and parts of the Mountain time zone at least-Pacific viewers didn't
see it at all that day), CBS (and logically I would assume ABC and NBC as well) went to
'round-the-clock coverage
following a station-ID break just before 2 PM (ET). As I think all students of that day
know, Dan Rather had the first
announcement of JFK's death on CBS Radio, but Cronkite wouldn't report it until he had
confirmation (2:38 ET), by which
time, not only the White House but ABC and NBC were reporting it.
Off-topic yet on: each network scored points, IMO, CBS with Cronkite's stamina in
staying with the story (as well as
Rather's reports from Dallas, even if he believes he jumped the gun on the report that
JFK had passed away); NBC with
the only live shots of Oswald's being gunned down; and ABC with Howard K. Smith's
observation in the aftermath of Oswald's
death: "We'll never get to hear this man's story. There's something wrong in this country
and we don't know what it is."
But the prize goes to the ABC affiliate practically on the scene (with its headquarters in
Dealey Plaza), WFAA, which alternated
between ABC's coverage and local eyewitness accounts.
Sorry about being so late on the draw here, but that's the way life is on my street these
days. Indeed, Russell, WIAT's achievement as of late is astounding in the abstract. But I
think the station has been helped by the plain fact that cable and DTV have leveled the
playing field almost totally from the days of rabbit ears. UHF is not a handicap anymore,
since many former Vs were assigned U frequencies in the digital allocation--WBRC got
moved to 50, for example.
Finally, two goals have been satisfied: 1) the all-channel tuning act of (circa) 1962's aim
of promoting UHF has been accomplished after a half-century, and 2) channel 42 has
more or less completed its transition from the Park Broadcasting days (when that
company mostly used the old WBMG as a farm system for its other stations and/or as a
tax write-off) which began in earnest in 1997-98 when the station manager there re-built
the news department and changed the call letters to give the station an aggressive
image. A good slogan/branding for WIAT these days might be, "We're not your daddy's
(or granddaddy's) 42 anymore."

I think we've beaten this "why did WBRC switch from CBS to ABC" thing to death,
even though I take my share of the blame. Leonard Goldenson, in his autobiography,
did acknowledge that Taft was shifting some of its stations from CBS to ABC (Cincinnati
and Lexington went around this time); Howard K. Smith, in his autobiography "Rumors
Of
My Death," attributed the switch in Birmingham to his "CBS Reports" special. Possibly,
as
Russell has pointed out before, the contracts between WBRC and ABC were already
signed.
Also, I know that CBS was concerned about other affiliates in the South switching
networks,
and I know that Smith's concluding quote from Edmund Burke to the effect that the way
for
tyranny to triumph is for good men to do nothing rankled Bill Paley, who considered it
editorializing
and who told Smith over lunch one day that he could take his commentaries elsewhere.
Channel 6,
to my knowledge, did not carry Smith's primetime "News And Comment" program (but
neither did my
ABC affiliate in Raleigh, WRAL, which even blacked out his and Harry Reasoner's
commentaries in the
early '70s), but did carry "Issues And Answers" even before it picked up Smith and
Reasoner. So let's
just give both Smith and Goldenson the benefit of the doubt and say their explanations
for the switch
are equally valid.
More puzzling is WRAL's switch from NBC to ABC in 1962; I don't know if the Fletcher
family and Jesse
Helms were unhappy with NBC's civil-rights coverage (at least they didn't go as far as
WLBT and put
up "technical difficulties" every time a civil-rights story aired) or it was just a question of
ABC's trying
to get into North Carolina (it had only one fulltime affiliate in the state at the time,
Asheville's WLOS).
WRAL could be the only ABC affiliate in east-central North Carolina, while NBC would be
available from
Wilmington, Washington (NC), and Winston-Salem. (And as I've pointed out before, ABC
got four more
affiliates in the Tarheel State by the end of 1964: WNBE (WCTI) New Bern and WGHP
High Point in '63;
WWAY Wilmington and WCCB Charlotte (which actually didn't become exclusively ABC
until 1967) in
1964.) One factor we've mentioned before is that in '62 ABC was signing up new
affiliates almost as
aggressively as it pursued CBS and NBC stations in the late '70s and early '80s; WRAL

Personally, it would be interesting to know exactly when Field Communications sold

WLVI to Gannett as this was the year the Chicago-based company folded.
WLVI 56 was sold by Field Communications to Gannett late spring/early summer of

1983. According to Broadcasting and Cable yearbooks, the station changed hands
legally May 25, 1983. The format did not change AT ALL upon sale. Field already began
a 10 PM newscast prior to putting the station up for sale. Gannett just had better
resources and began to produce a better looking newscast. Other than that virtually all
the programming previously airing continued to air. Whatever shows Field bought
continued under Gannett. Field had children's programs from 6 AM to 10 AM and again 1
to 5 PM weekdays. They continued the tradition of a double Brady Bunch run 5-6 PM at
most points and 430-530 PM at this particular point (which would move back to 5-6 later
in the fall to make room for second Flintstones run at 430 at some point. Even the
graphics remained the same for a while and the station looked almost exact to the way it
looked under Field.
IN Chicago, though WFLD while keeping all their programming changed the graphics,
announcers, and overall presentation of the station. They also added a couple hours of
Metromedia produced barter shows syndicated nationally but not airing in Chicago at the
time to WFLD. That station changed hands March of 1983.
The last station to be owned by Field was 50 WKBD Detroit. That station did not get sold
till the Winter of 1984; after WKBS TV 48 Philadelphia went dark. Why Field held out in
Detroit and not Philadelphia is a mystery to me. It could have been that WKBD was
worth far more money. WHile Detroit had 2 other independents, those two were very low
budget. One was all religious, public affairs, barter, and NBC/CBS preemptions. The
other was very low budget cartoons and westerns during the day and Subscription TV at
night. The second station did dump STV in 1983, but the shows were very low budget as
well, cartoons not airing most places anywhere by then, some more popular cartoons,
some very old sitcoms, very old movies, and westerns. Neither station would have
money to buy WKBD's inventory to fill a hole WKBD would leave and the shows and
assets were just too valueable to just dispose of. WKBS TV would have not gone dark if
Channel 17 could not have bought most of WKBS's inventory...just too much of a loss.
WLVI 56 was sold by Field Communications to Gannett late spring/early summer of

1983. According to Broadcasting and Cable yearbooks, the station changed hands
legally May 25, 1983. The format did not change AT ALL upon sale... virtually all the
programming previously airing continued to air....
For that reason, WLVI also kept the Field-era logo under Gannett, until 1992, a couple of
years before selling the station to Tribune. I think all the other Field stations changed
their logos after they were sold to other parties. I think KBHK (KBCW) held on to its Field
logo a couple of years after Chris Craft bought that station.
WKBS TV would have not gone dark if Channel 17 could not have bought most of
WKBS's inventory...just too much of a loss.
As far as I know, WKBS was not losing money, unlike most stations that had gone dark
-- the Fields were just anxious to pull the plug if no buyer was found.
NO WKBS TV was not losing money but was not making the huge amounts it used to
make. WKBS TV, WTAF, and WPHL all went head to head till the mid 70's. WPHL 17
was behind WKBS TV and WTAF TV by 1976. WKBS TV emerged as the leading
independent station by 1978 but in 1979, WTAF surpassed WKBS when they acquired
MASH and Happy Days. Channel 48 still did quite well acquiring All In The Family. By
1980, Channel 29 got farther ahead. 1981 was a bad year for Channel 48. Channel 17
acquired a few stromng shows as did Channel 29. 48 acquired hardly anything new. In
1982, WKBS TV acquired an okay nothing great WKRP and the disasterous Mork &
Mindy. They also got Alice and One Day at a Time but rested these to run the fall of 83
(which they never got a chance to run). By 1982, Channel 17 surpassed Channel 48 as
the number 2 independent. Channel 48 also lost 76ers Basketball to Channel 17.
So all this happened at a bad time. This caused the station to not be able to be sold for
the amount Field wanted for it. Originally Channel 17 was to be sold to a religious
broadcaster, Providence Journal would then buy Channel 48 and combine assets of
Channel 17 and make one strong station on 48 but this fell through as well. Channel 17
did have money to buy most of Channel 48's inventory which was most of what the
staion was worth. So they sold that to Channel 17 for almost as much as the offers Field
was getting for the entire station so they sold the programming to Providence Journal
except for Viacom shows (which they returned to syndicator for a refund - Viacom had a
policy of not selling shows from station to station). They sold equipment to several
places and only lost a small amount of money turning the license to the FCC which they
made up in taxes they did not have to pay.
Had Providence Journal not been willing to buy Channel 48's programming, they would
have held on to teh station longer or bit the bullet and sold it for less than they wanted to
sell it for. Shutting down would not have been a good option.
WFLD was the only station sold that dumped the logo and Field graphics immediately.
WKBD Detroit kept the Field Graphics till 1985. KBHK San Francisco kept the Field
Graphics till 1986 or 1987. Eventually though they all did drop the field graphics though.
WFLD was most agressive in doing it though.

Is the Donahue guest's name really Penny Wise? :P

Mainly because new owners Metromedia was anxious in remolding WFLD into its
"Metromedia 32" image, along the same lines as its new sister stations.

They did, but it didn't last long -- I believe the jokes and the format didn't translate well

few episodes, for the same reason.

Re: Retro: North Georgia Saturday, September 24, 1977

This was a game from the NAIA's short lived national TV package, which closed up shop
a few weeks later. I hope to find a list of games this package was supposed to
showcase.
From the Ludington Daily News of the summer of 1977, here were the other games that
were selected for the NAIA's tv package(WARNING: not all of them may have aired as
scheduled):
9-3: Henderson State(AR) vs. East Central State(OK)
9-10: Prairie View A&M(TX) vs. East Texas State

9-17: Millersville State(PA) vs. Slippery Rock State(PA)
10-1: Wisconsin-Platteville vs. Wisconsin-Whitewater
10-8: Grand Valley State(MI) vs. Ferris State(MI)
10-5 through 11-19: Games to be determined
12-3: Division II Championship Game
12-10: Apple Bowl in Seattle(Division I Championship Game)
7 PM Untamed World
7:30 Bill Cosby (his 1969-71 NBC sitcom)

...hmmm. I wonder how many other major markets in the USA had both a VHF PBS
affiliate and a UHF indie signing on the air this late on a Saturday by 1977...

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Saturday, October 18, 1969
9 PM Hugh Hefner (Buddy Greco, Shari Lewis, Canned Heat)

...interesting. How many Southern stations picked up Playboy After Dark? Hef usually
claims that his earlier series, Playboy's Penthouse, never got any Southern affiliates
because he made it a point to schedule an ethnically diverse guest list on every show;
the first Playboy's Penthouse featured a three-way discussion between Hef, Lenny
Bruce and Nat "King" Cole...
WAVY, the NBC affiliate in Hampton Roads, carried Hef, possibly

some station(s) in Florida, but that's all I can think of. Somehow
I suspect the Playboy connection scared away some of the more
conservative stations.

with Doug McClure and Ricardo Montalban
TUE, FRI Perry Mason
WED Gunsmoke (from 7 PM), followed by "The Lucy Show" at 8
THU Here I'm assuming "Cimarron Strip," since "It's The Great Pumpkin,
Charlie Brown" aired on Oct. 26, followed by a Don Knotts special,
and Ch. 6 carried them both in-pattern (Andy Griffith was a guest
on Don's special).
SAT Jackie Gleason (in-pattern)
SUN Gentle Ben (in-pattern)

Just curious as to why WCIX Ch. 6 out of Miami did not have listings in Central Florida
when it was available on cable in Orlando and Tampa.

First of all, WCIX just signed on a month earlier. Second, cable was not very prevalent
yet -- many cities would not be cabled until the 1970s or even the 1980s. I think WCIX
would not be listed in TVG outside its area until 1977, when Central Florida was split into
Orlando, Tampa Bay and Sarasota, in which all three listed WCIX. (Though by the early1980s, only the newly-merged Tampa-Sarasota edition would list WCIX, and by then it
was seen on only a few cable systems in Southwest Florida.)
Retro: This Week in TV Guide, October 19, 1968 - MSP Edition

Here is where we really begin to see the difference between televised sports today and
that from back in 1968. The Summer Olympics were on ABC - 14 1/2 hours for the entire
week! College football - one game. NFL - one game. AFL - two games. NHL - one game.
There are many reasons for the change over the years, but it's still striking to see it.
http://www.itsabouttv.com/2012/10/th...9-1968_20.html
Also, another installment of Sullivan vs. The Palace, Jim Nabors sings, Richard Harris
sings, and some random notes on the embryonic stages of three future series.
As always your comments, positive and negative, are welcome.

I have this edition, but it's a central Pennsylvania issue. I loved your comment about
having two sets out to watch the AFL and NFL at the same time. I used to do that with
NFL games when the then-CBS affiliates in Boston and Providence would run different
games back in the 80s.

Good thought. I'll get this issue out and do it this week, and for future weeks I'll start
adding the listings for a random day.

My mistake - it's a actually an Eastern New England (Boston, Providence, Hartford,
Manchester and Worcester) edition. I got it mixed up in my mind. Anyway, here are the
games scheduled:
Saturday
2:15p - College Football (6-7-8-9) - Alabama vs. Tennessee
4:30p - Horse Racing (5-10) The Man o' War $100,000 Added (5 was the Boston CBS
affiliate and 10 was the Providence NBC station)
8:00p - NHL Hockey (38) - Boston Bruins at Pittsburgh Penguins
9:00p - NBA Basketball (56) - Boston Celtics at Chicago Bulls
Sunday
1:30p - NFL (3-5-12) San Francisco 49ers at New York Giants
2:00p - College Football Highlights (8-9) Pittsburgh vs. Navy
4:00p - AFL (4-10) New York Jets at Houston Oilers
And there were various airings of Roller Derby, wrestling and bowling on many stations

Re: Retro: Central Florida Tuesday, October 24, 1967

I see that ch 8 carried "Password" at 2pm (pre-empting DOOL! unless they time shifted).
These were reruns, possibly the first 5-day-a-week game show to go into reruns. I had
no idea that it went into reruns so soon after CBS axed it.
I believe that Wesley Hyatt said that it was a daring move to go into reruns, but it paid off
for Goodson/Todman. (WTVJ 4 Miami carried the reruns too, but I don't think it was so
soon.) "Password" returned to new shows on ABC in 1971.
I just thought of this!!.........."Snap Judgment" was still running on NBC, and the entire
original rules were overhauled in favor of using the "Password" format late in its run. I
think Hyatt said that started in Dec 1967. So, this makes "Password" reruns at this time
all the more unusual to me!
Unless of course, this was a misprint!!

No misprint; CBS had just canceled "Password" and WFLA obviously
wanted to cash in on the show's popularity on WTVT by airing it at
the same time it had been on CBS. (A couple of years later WFLA
aired "Allen Ludden's Gallery" at the same time.) "Days Of Our Lives"
aired briefly in the Bay Area when it first went on the air in 1965, IIRC,
but didn't become a permanent part of Ch. 8's daytime lineup until the
early '70s; it was being carried there when I moved to Tampa in '73.
WTVJ's then-sister station, WLOS, also carried "Password," first at

7 PM, then at 11 AM (when they put "To Tell The Truth" and then
"Truth Or Consequences" at 7) until the ABC episodes began airing.
Again, IIRC, WLOS carried the entire ABC run of "Password."
Remember this is also the time when Fred Silverman was trying to
establish an all-soap block on CBS from 11:30 AM-4 PM (1-1:30 excepted);
he had replaced "Password" with "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing," and the
following year would replace "To Tell The Truth" with "Secret Storm" at 3 (a
mistake on two counts: CBS bought the show from American Home Products
and proceeded to write out or scale back many of the most popular characters),
and move "House Party" to 4 ("Guiding Light" moving to 2:30), where it suffered
from a number of affiliate pre-emptions and a change in emphasis following the
death of Art Linkletter's daughter Diane. (Remember that Silverman hated game
shows; on the set of "Password" one day he asked, "Who thinks up all this c**p?",
and it took only slightly less than an act of Congress to get him to put "Family Feud"
on ABC.)

Well then, I wonder if reruns of "Password" were temporarily withdrawn, when NBC's
"Snap Judgment" decided to go Password on the public. It would seem like a conflict. I
am looking at the Hyatt book here. SJ adopted the Password format on Dec. 23, 1968,
and was canceled on Mar. 27, 1969; so I am wondering if any station was airing
Password reruns during this period.
I believe that the reruns (which were color-only, BTW) were still going strong in summer
1969....I was 10, and my folks and I were on vacation then, and we had KTLA in L.A. on
the motel's cable system in New Mexico, IIRC, and KTLA (or was it another indie?) had
Password.
(Trivia: WTVJ was running Password reruns originally at 4:25p as I guess The Linkletter
Show was 25 min. long. At 4:55pm was Perry mason reruns, then WTVJ favorite
"Weaver the Weatherman" anchored in his 5:55 daily show. Then, whatever was running
at 4pm extended to 30 minutes, and WTVJ heavily edited "Password" to 25 minutes.
Wouldn't it have been easier to edit an hour-long Perry Mason than a half hour
Password? Maybe Silverman was a consultant on WTVJ.)
Keep in mind that Les Moonves hates (or hated, anyway) game shows. He made some
comment when CBS aired Dick Clark's "Winning Lines" after "Who Wants to Be a
Millionaire" became an ABC hit. Can't remember the quote from Les, but it was akin to
"throwing a bone" to game show fans.

If I recall, the original color Passwords that were syndicated had to be heavily edited to
take out the "Brought to you by" tags from the advertisers which would have been
outdated by this time..

Of course, this shown when GSN was running reruns of the color Password, when a
"Password" logo suddenly appears as Allen Ludden was about to throw it to a
commercial. In addition, the sponsors plugs at the end was replaced with a but featuring
Allen talking about the stars appearing on "Password".

8:00 World Series, Game 2: Philadelphia 6-Toronto 4, the Jays would take the Series in
6 games

As the World Series involved the Jays, did CTV use their own production team, or did

Re: Retro: Eastern & Northern New Brunswick Sat, Oct 30, 1965
To avoid confusion (and some people might be, since these are
coming from a newspaper in Moncton, NB), WAGM's listings are
given in Atlantic time; subtract one hour for everything from
Jackie Gleason through "Gunsmoke" to get the CBS schedule on
Eastern time:
7:30 Jackie Gleason

8:30 Trials Of O'Brien
9:30 The Loner
10 PM Gunsmoke
I'm saying this because I don't know how many people, unless they
live near the Canadian border, realize that the Maritimes are an hour
ahead (Newfoundland 90 minutes ahead) of Eastern time.

So WAGA preempted a Hawks game for "Robinson Crusoe? Fascinating.
I never recall WAGA carrying CBS's NBA coverage; in fact, by the

late '70s I think Ch. 36 was carrying the games.

5 PM Boxing: Rudi Lubbers vs. Muhammad Ali (not the champ at

the time), heavyweights, 12 rounds, from Jakarta, Indonesia

...wasn't this actually a Wide World of Sports presentation, or was it perhaps a
syndicated special that happened to pop up on a pair of ABC affiliates in this region?...
"Wide World Of Sports." It was listed as a special, but at

the end of the listing it said, "Howard Cosell reports for
'Wide World Of Sports.'"

Re: Retro: Florida-Georgia Thursday, October 26, 1972
By the fall of 1973 at the latest. A guy who lived across
the hall from me in the dorm brought one with him from
Columbus that fall; that was my first look at the South
Georgia edition. I know that in the summer of '73 my dad
was bringing back copies of the Northern Florida edition from
Jacksonville (it had Jacksonville, Gainesville, Tallahassee, and
the Orlando affiliates--WESH, WDBO (WKMG), and WFTV), and
I remember when WCJB switched from NBC to ABC because of that.
Wikipedia confirms that the South Georgia and Northern Florida editions
began in 1973 (there had been an earlier Northern Florida edition from
1960-62).

Mysticnitekatt:
In 1968, WSBK-38 broadcast the Boston Bruins (whose popularity was rapidly growing,
given that they were led by a young superstar named Bobby Orr), while WKBG-56
carried the Boston Celtics (who were defending NBA champions and had recently won
eight straight NBA championships).
Although the Celtics had won the 1968 NBA title, they weren't as popular as the Bruins
at the time.
Regarding syndicated programming, I would think that WKBG had the slight edge then.
Later on, WSBK had, in my opinion, the stronger off-network lineup.

14 WJZB Worcester (Ind) they only aired 90 minutes per night and did not colorcast;
everything is a simulcast from WWLP Springfield
06:00p Highlights Tom Colton
06:30p NBC News Chet Huntley, David Brinkely
A couple of oddities about WJZB... The transmitter was apparently not designed for
color, but it passed through, sort of. I remember on our Magnavox set - an odd smeared,
shifted-to-the-right color image that overlayed the B&W image.
The transmitter was powered on and off at erratic times - either someone doing by
remote control when they remembered, or a very bad timer... All the time it was on - it
relayed WWLP (maybe over-the-air pickup?). It would be on by 5:50 PM or so - and
would not go off until 7:35 or much later sometimes - therefore carrying the beginning of
whatever NBC show began at 7:30. (Before the networks were cut back to 8 PM start.)
At least once it stayed on the whole evening.

Thanks for the info! Other than the 90 minutes per night broadcasting (to cover the
minimum requirements of the license) and the lack of a color transmitter I don't know
much about them. A friend of mine who grew up in Worcester does remember watching
channel 14 when they were a full service station earlier in the decade. He said the
picture was always fuzzy (but that may have been the UHF tuners at the time).

Commercial TV was still in its infancy, operating limited daily schedules (which remained
limited for several years to come because of World War II) and for the most part
depending on young and relatively little known performers. Joan Edwards married an
extremely wealthy man and became a major philanthropist before her passing at the age
of 88 in 2006. BurlIves. of course, became a recordig star and successful actor after the
Second World War.

Joan Edwards would make her everlasting mark a couple of years
later, but on radio; she was the featured female singer on "Your Hit
Parade" during Frank Sinatra's first tenure on that show (1943). The
hysterical screaming for Ol' Blue Eyes by teenage girls in the audience
launched a wave of male-only (mostly guys in the military) "Moan and
Groan For Joan Clubs," probably meant more as sarcasm as anything else.
She had two television shows: "Girl About Town," which may be the
show you have listed under "Joan Edwards," in 1941, and a 15-minute
early-evening musical show on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:45 on
DuMont in 1950. ("Girl About Town" became a network show on NBC
in 1948 but without Ms. Edwards.) Ironically, she once wrote a song
called "Television's Tough On Love"; given her short-lived television career
it could have been called "Television's Tough On Me."
If you can find it, there's a picture of her rehearsing for a "Your Hit Parade"
broadcast in Irving Settel's pictorial history of radio.

In 1941, experimental calls may still have been assigned to TV broadcasters in New
York City. W2XBS, W2XBC and W2XBT for NBC. W2XAB and W2XCB for CBS.

I once knew someone who owned an old RCA TV with a channel 1 (his mother owned
an antiques shop). He said it was originally owned by an army officer who bought it
during WW2. It still worked (this was 30 years ago), though the lights dimmed a bit when
it was turned on.

York City. W2XBS, W2XBC and W2XBT for NBC. W2XAB and W2XCB for CBS."
Definitely so until July 1 of that year. That was the day the FCC started handing out
commercial licenses to TV stations, and WNBT and WCBW got the first ones, with a few
more (WPTZ in Philly, WRGB in the Capital District) getting their commercial tickets in
the months to come. DuMont got its transmitter up and running in the spring of 1941
along with CBS and NBC, but wasn't given a full commercial license (as WABD) until
1944.
The old Channel 1 running from 50 to 56 mHz disappeared from the airwaves in the
spring of 1946 when the original channel was re-assigned to police and amateur
services and WNBT (its only commercially licensed occupant anywhere) was reassigned to the new Channel 4 and WABD got moved upstairs to channel 5.. Another
Channel 1 at 44-50 mHz was put in the assignment tables by the FCC for small town,
lower power community stations, like an early version of LPTV, but it was scrapped in
1948 without any such community station ever signing on.

I think the only FCC license ever granted for Channel 1 in the post-war years was to
KARO in Riverside, California but never reached the air, so it was not reassigned to one
of the other VHF channels (KARO probably would have been reassigned to Channel 3
had it gone on the air, given that Los Angeles was assigned Channels 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11,
and 13 and San Diego/Tijuana eventually got Channels 6, 8, 10, and 12).

IIRC, KARO and WSBE South Bend were granted CPs for Channel 1, but neither went
on the air. WSBE eventually became WSBT-TV Channel 22.
And Riverside is too close to LA to have been assigned Channel 3. I think it was
reserved for the Tijuana area back in the early '50s as well.

Santa Barbara ended up with 3 (KEYT), although that market
also has 6 (KSBY) and 12 (KCOY).

"Santa Barbara ended up with 3 (KEYT), although that market

Given that all the San Diego stations operate with antennae conforming to a Zone 1
station, wouldn't there have been room to assign Channel 3 to the San Diego market as
well? Any transmitter would have been a good 90=100 miles from Mt. Wilson, and 190
miles from Santa Barbara...

I thought the same thing, since 6 and 12 are actually in Tijuana.
Anybody know why San Diego didn't get 3?
Because Tijuana did, though it took many years before the station finally signed on (late
1990s, if memory serves.)
The problem was real-world propagation: KEYT's Broadcast Peak site, on the coast just
west of Santa Barbara, is a good 70 miles closer to SD/Tijuana than the KSBY and
KCOY sites. And while the KSBY/KCOY sites are fairly well terrain-blocked from the
South Coast, KEYT has a monster line-of-sight signal down the coast that's usually
heavily augmented by the near-constant tropo ducting that runs from Santa Barbara
down to San Diego. It's not unusual at all to hear Santa Barbara signals (especially the
monsters on 103.3 and 97.5) blowing down the coast into San Diego, and my
understanding is that KEYT was regularly seen in Orange and San Diego counties in the
analog era, too.
Even if 3 San Diego could have been fully-spaced on paper to KEYT, it would have been
a real-world disaster, with San Diego wiping out KEYT on its home turf and vice-versa.

Re: RETRO LOS ANGELES TV- Friday January 24, 1975
I'm curious: At exactly what point did KABC's afternoon movie show become The 3:30
Movie, as seen here? I see prior to then, it had been The 6:30 Movie, and before the
FCC's 1971 "Prime Time Access Rule," The 6:00 Movie.

This has to obviously be some kind of misprint because Jeopardy! actually ended on
January 3 (unless, oddly enough, KNBC actually did checkerboard scheduling in the 1
p.m. slot). What really aired in that time period?

"How to Survive a Marriage," which had aired at 2 p.m. Pacific Time, moved to Noon on
Monday, January 6, 1975. Elsewhere in the U.S., it bombed against ABC's "Let's Make a
Deal" and CBS' "As the World Turns" and ended a 15-month run on April 17, to allow for
the expansion of "Days of Our Lives" to an hour.
Stations invariably ran the checkerboard arrangement during PTAR; it would have been
next to impossible for both KNBC and San Diego's KGTV to do the same. The LA Times
editors, for some reason, simply did not get the info about the January 6 scheduling
change in time.

I don't know how far in advance the L.A. Times
had to get updated schedules, but you are correct:
"How To Survive A Marriage" should have been listed
at noon on Chs. 4 and 10 (it ran at 1:30 ET/12:30 CT).
NBC, while it followed Central Time until noon, did
not give noon-12:30 back to the affiliates on the West
Coast. They got their time at 3 PM PT.
Also notice that "The Big Showdown" and "Money Maze"

are running on a different schedule on the West Coast.
"Showdown" aired at 2:30 in the East, "Money Maze" at 4.
I don't know why, with KABC running its movie at 3:30,
ABC didn't go ahead at that time and follow Central Time
(10:30-3:30) as they eventually did.

Channel 10 dropped "How To Survive" when NBC moved it to noon; it ran the local news
instead. Jeopardy! did end its run when "Another World" expanded to 60 minutes.
My explanation on the odd ABC West Coast pattern in 1974-1980 was that ABC wanted
to keep as many shows at their current times as possible until they either got cancelled
or otherwise when ABC decided to shift its daytime schedule up one hour, with The
Brady Bunch reruns moved up to 10:30am to follow the CT pattern, shifted the two latest
game shows to early morning (Girl in My Life was probably getting creamed by Match
Game and Somerset at 2:30 PT here), and moving One Life to Live ahead an hour to
2:30, which worked better for ABC with that move. That left six shows following the ET
pattern, two following the CT, and two that aired from 0-2 hours before they were shown
on the ET/CT zones. Another would be the ABC West stations wanted the 3:30-4:30
cleared for lucrative syndication packages (reruns, movies, Mike, Phil, etc.)

10 PM NHL HOCKEY- Los Angeles Kings .vs. New York Rangers (TAPE)
Interesting to see that, like RKO's NYC station WOR, KHJ also tape delayed game
telecasts, in this case a 5 1/2 hour time shift, since this game would have started at 4:30
PM LA time (the Kings lost 2-1). Makes you wonder, if this was a regular practice,
whether this was another contributing factor in the Kings not developing a strong fan
base in the pre-Gretzky days.

Maybe televised weekend away games of the Los Angeles Kings were televised live
back to L.A.
Perhaps KHJ-9 believed (as the networks already did with the Olympics) that the game
would get higher ratings if it were put on tape.
But wouldn't a tape-delay showing at 7 or 7:30 P.M. PDT have been better??

That was also the station's policy for its Laker telecasts for decades up until around
2008; all weekday East Coast games would be tape-delayed to air at least a hour later,
while, of course, Mountain and Pacific-time zone away games aired live. People
complained for years about the Lakers games airing on tape-delay, especially well into
the internet age, while all radio broadcast aired live regardless.

The songs from Herman's Hermits appearance on Ed Sullivan are on the "Ed Sullivan:
The British Invasion" CD. I don't have it in front of me at the moment but I know the
Hermits performed "My Reservation's Been Confirmed" and Ed remarked on Peter
Noone's blue eyes being made for color TV. And of course the girls go nuts.

Hour Glass was the first major big-budget variety show on television, sponsored by
Chase and Sanborn and seen in most of the TV homes then in existence (in New York,
Philadelphia, the Albany/Schenectady/Troy area, and Washington, DC). Helen Parrish
became TV's first real star, but she and the show faded from view after she went on
maternity leave in the spring of 1947 and did not return for the 1947-48 season.
Dennis James launched a decades-long career as television emcee with Cash and
Carry, a sort of predecessor to the later TV game show Supermarket Sweep.
WCBS-TV's 8:15 newscast featured actor Milo Boulton as anchor. Boulton was perhaps
best known for co-starring in the original stage production of "The Petrified Forest"
alongside Leslie Howard and Humphrey Bogart-he did not make the move to Hollywood
to appear with Howard and Bogart in the film version the following year, but remained in
the Broadway theater and returned to it periodically throughout a long acting career
which also included film roles, and dramatic roles on television. Boulton left television
news shortly after this listing was published. He was replaced by newsman Douglas
Edwards, who anchored the Channel 2 local news and then the CBS Evening News
from 1947 to 1962, and continued in radio and television news until his retirement in the
1980s.

I remember Edwards being interviewed about this move many years later.
"I had worked so hard to establish my career in radio during the war, and had finally
made a name
for myself. Then they come along and tell me I'm being shifted off to this experimental
toy where
nobody would ever hear from me again. I thought, 'Boy, what a crummy break!' "
Interesting perspective I thought.

9:00; 5-Quiz; Cash and Carry with Dennis James
Dennis James launched a decades-long career as television emcee with Cash and
Carry, a sort of predecessor to the later TV game show Supermarket Sweep.
...I seem to recall reading somewhere (in Brooks & Marsh?) that, although Cash & Carry
was on DuMont, it was actually produced by ABC, as the Alphabet Network's WJZ-TV/7
was still many months away from taking the air on 10 August 1948. The 12 May 1948
broadcast of Don McNeill's Breakfast Club was simulcast over ABC Radio and the
DuMont Television Network, while being produced for television through the facilities of
NBC affiliate WPTZ/3 Philadelphia (which also aired the broadcast live); The Breakfast
Club had travelled from its Chicago home base to Philadelphia to promote McNeill's
mock campaign for President that year, and WPTZ was owned at the time by Philco, one
of The Breakfast Club's radio sponsors...

...I assume this is Garroway at Large. Did WNBK get a live feed from WNBQ/5 Chicago
on this one, or did they run it on kinescope? I recall that the show was originally
scheduled on Saturdays and later moved to Sundays, but I wonder if that was this early
in the series' run...

Per the linked article, the NBC Midwest Network began on 9/20/48, with KSD-TV St.
Louis, WWJ-TV Detroit, WTMJ-TV Milwaukee, WSPD-TV Toledo and WBEN-TV Buffalo
as the first affiliates. NBC O&Os WNBQ Chicago (10/8/48) and WNBK Cleveland
(10/31/48) joined the network when they signed on.
So Garroway At Large very well could have been shown live in Cleveland in 1949.

Re: Retro; New York City, Thursday, October 30, 1947
WABD-Channel 5
8:45-Jack Eigen Show

...this was at the height of Fred Allen's use of Eigen's name as a comic device on NBC
Radio's Fred Allen Show. Allen was always fascinated with what he thought were
unusual-sounding names, and Eigen's was one. In fact, Eigen was a guest on Allen's
radio show a few months after this...
Jack Eigen later had a long (20 year) run in Chicago on NBC O&O WMAQ, where he
inherited a late evening show once hosted by Dave Garroway in his pre-TV days. Mike
Nichols and Elaine May made Eigen the butt of one of their satirical bits when they did a
routine about an especially self-centered talk show host they called "Jack Ego."
Eigen reportedly liked it even though the satire was savage, because it made him better
known to a wider audience.

Re: RETRO: MEMPHIS, FRIDAY, NOV 8 1986, By Request
That should be Friday, November 7, 1986.
With the exception of "The Jeffersons," all of WREG's sitcoms were distributed by
Viacom.
Not "Happy Days" (Paramount), "Leave it to Beaver" (MCA) or "MASH" (Fox).

Re: RETRO: MEMPHIS, FRIDAY, NOV 8 1986, By Request
Sorry about the goof everyone. I'm new here and didn't realize that I couldn't edit later. I'll
be more diligent about checking for typos before I hit the post button. November 8th
always gets stuck in my head because it's the day I was due to be born, only I got here a
little early (the only time in my life).
To the person who requested the following day, I'm sorry I didn't save it. I did save the
previous Saturday, November 1st. I can add that one.

Re: Retro: Idaho Sat, Oct 5, 1991
Thanks for posting this. We needed more Idaho listings!
Plus another thing: EVERY station signed off for sometime Sunday morning in '91? I
would expect one or two of the big ones (KTVB, KSL etc.) to keep going 24 hours but
ALL of them?

KUTV and KSL were 24 hrs the rest of the week, with KTVX almost 24 hrs (they pulled a
WCBS, signing-off 4:40-5am). KTVB signed-off at 2am.
KSL didn't air baseball then, i am shocked, also the gaqmes cbs aired this day were
Houston @ Atlanta or Los Angelss @ San Francisco, I have both these on dvd

13 Roller Game
...interesting, as I thought Roller Game of the Week was produced using KTLA/5's
remote facilities during this period. In fact, there's a photo floating around the Internet of
longtime play-by-play announcer Dick Lane seated with a mic in front of a large KTLA
sign...
What did channel 10 show at 1pm? Was it an NFL game?

Nope...it was a political rally, but the listings don't give any more info on it- the PE stuck
San Diego listings in a 3-page section in the back of their supplement.
As Dick Lane would say when breaking up an after game fight between two female
Thunderbird roller skaters or announcing some unbelievable special on Early American
furniture at Hub Furniture City, "Whooooa Nellie!"
The Roller Debry was on KTLA during the 60s, but I guess it moved to KCOP by 1970.
As far as I know, Dick Lane was a KTLA employee, so I'm not sure if he went to KCOP
with the skaters or not. Lane also did Wrestling from the Olympic, and other...uh...lesser
sports, including the demolition derby on Saturday afternoons during the 60s.
...The T-Bird show was never Roller Derby in the '60s or early '70s (that was the
trademarked name of Jerry Seltzer's San Francisco-based KTVU/2 product), but Roller
Game of the Week, Bill Griffiths' National Roller League program. Thinking on it a bit
more, I wonder if in fact KCOP/13 actually ran the KTVU Roller Derby but the PressEnterprise goofed and put the wrong show name on the listing...
On the very last sentence, that's not the case. KCOP ran Roller Derby, the one starring
Charlie O'Connell and Joanie Weston, with Walt Harris announcing, in the early and mid60s.
I'm speculating that Mr. Lane, who would have been well into his 70s by 1970, retired
from KTLA, he had been there from the beginning with Stan Chambers, and became a
well-paid independent contractor for Channel 13 when they took over coverage of Roller
Games and wrestling.
I'm also speculating that Dick Lane loved what he was doing, and was so strongly
identified with both Roller Games and Wrestling from the Olympic that it made sense for
KCOP to retain him as the announcer for both.
Lane obviously could have retired much earlier, and he lived well in Newport Beach
while he was still working. He retired when he was good and ready.
If he were around today, Dick Lane would probably have a great career in infomercials.

Re: Retro: Vancouver/Victoria Sat, Nov 5, 1977
I suspect that the Ken Norton/Jimmy Ellis bout aired live across the network; meaning it
would be seen at 9 P.M. EST.
This will explain why some ABC-TV network programs on Seattle's KOMO-4 were seen
an hour and a half later than usual for the West Coast; in the Eastern and Central time
zone, these programs preceded the fight.
According to Shrp Sports.com, the Vancouver Canucks were off that night; otherwise,
their game likely would have been broadcast by CBC stations in British Columbia. I
believe that during this era (before "Hockey Night In Canada" went to Saturday-night
doubleheaders), Saturday games in Vancouver generally began at 5:05 P.M. PDT/PST. If
the Canucks were playing the Los Angeles Kings, and if the game was not broadcast
outside of B.C., then such game might have been played at 8:05 PT, but I don't know for
certain.

...Tom Snyder and Mort Crim were two of KYW-TV/3's local news anchors at the time;
did they work any of the weekend newscasts, or strictly the weeknighters?...
Don't know...the listings didn't mention the newscasters for KYW...only ad that
mentioned newscasters was WCAU, which mentioned long-time newsman John
Facenda...

Tom Snyder anchored at noon, later at 7 pm. Mort crim wasn't hired at KYW until '72
IIRC. Wes Sarginson may have anchored weekends at the time.

Sarginson later ended up at WKYC-TV Cleveland..about 1969-70..Snyder had been in
Cleveland at KYW before the move to Philadelphia..

Looks like Ch 29's 9:30 to 11:30 am sked was taken direct from ABC.....6 didn't take it.
It would seem that 6's "Bugs Bunny" at 10:00 am was the pre 1948 package, as BB was
on at 12 noon Sat on ABC.

That day (according to Shrp Sports.com), the Philadelphia Eagles hosted the
Washington Redskins. Then-CBS O&O WCAU-10 Philadelphia could not broadcast the
game since NFL league rules banned games from being televised in, or on any TV
station within 75 miles of, the city where the game was being played in even if it was
sold out.
The NFL blackout rules at the time stated that not only were games blacked out in and
near the home team's city, but no other NFL game could be televised at the same time a
team was at home.
Thus, the only game WCAU could carry was a 4:05 P.M. EST start.
According to that day's Boston Globe, CBS carried an NFL doubleheader that day (but in
cities like Philadelphia, which had an NFL team at home that day, only one game could
be televised).
By contrast, then-NBC affiliate KYW-3 probably got big viewing numbers for their earlyafternoon American Football League game, since there was no NFL game on local TV at
that hour.
By the way, here in Boston, the Patriots hosted the Oakland Raiders at Fenway Park
(where the team played their home games then), however, it was not on local TV. The
one AFL game that was on Boston-area television that day was on then-NBC station
WBZ-4; it was between Houston and Kansas City and started at 2:35 P.M. EST.

Re: Retro; New York City, Monday, November 2, 1959

Wasn't Jack Paar's "Tonight Show" broadcast in color by that point, and taping around 5
or 6 P.M. instead of being done live, as it had been at first??

I have a note about "Masquerade Party." The previous season it had
aired at 10:30 PM Thursdays on NBC as a stopgap replacement for 'The
$64,000 Challenge," which had been scheduled to move from CBS to NBC
in the fall of '58. When sponsors Revlon and P. Lorillard discovered that
staff members (particularly Shirley Bernstein, Leonard's sister) had been
supplying some contestants with the answers, they asked that the show
be canceled; most notably, the testimony of a Church of Christ minister
from Tennessee, Charles "Stoney" Jackson, probably helped seal the fate
of the "Challenge". "Masquerade Party" was thrown into the breach; it was at
that point that Bert Parks became the sixth host of the show.
In the fall of 1959 CBS dropped "Name That Tune" at 7:30 Mondays; there
had been some suspicion that a New York Giants football player, Clifford
Livingston, had been given help; in fact, producer Harry Salter admitted that
he gave new contestants the answers to one or two tunes to help calm them
down (it took three correct identifications to win and move on to the Golden
Medley, so the outcome of the game was still left in doubt). More to the point,
CBS placed a $1000 limit on prize winnings; "Name That Tune"'s top prize was
$25,000. "The Big Payoff" and "Top Dollar" were canceled at the same time.
"Masquerade Party" filled the time until January 1960, when it returned to NBC,
Fridays at 9:30. After its cancellation that fall, it wasn't seen again until 1974,
in a syndicated version with host Richard Dawson and panelists Bill Bixby, Lee
Meriwether, and Nipsey Russell.

By fall of '81, KXII dropped those late-night NBC shows in favor of syndicated shows.
KTEN picked up the NBC late night package.
KXII didn't run any football from NBC, but did run basketball games from the peacock.
It just jumped out at me that KTEN preempted the first hour of ABC prime for Barry
Switzer.

John Cooper was the head football coach at the U. of Tulsa during this time. He later
coached at Arizona State and Ohio State.
And, I'm a bit surprised NBC's NFL schedule started at 2 PM ET/1 PM CT while CBS got
started at 1/Noon.

Colts home games always started at 2 when they were in
Baltimore; maybe somebody can fill us in on whether that
was a decision by the team or by the city.

Colts home games always started at 2 when they were in
Baltimore; maybe somebody can fill us in on whether that
was a decision by the team or by the city.
2 PM starts for the Colts were a relic of Maryland's blue laws, meant to promote church
attendance. It also applied to the Orioles. The state finally repealed the law for 1984, but
Bob Irsay, because the state wouldn't build a new stadium for him, still moved the club to
Indianapolis in the famous(or infamous, depending on one's perspective) Mayflower
Move.

There'd be another in OKC within the year; Ch. 43.
BTW, if you have any from '78 or '79 can you post the
listings? And if you do have any and decide to sell, I'd
be interested in taking them off your hands (I'm particularly
interested in KOCO during this time because it was a sister
station to WXIA and WLKY, and all three used the "Alive"
branding, plus they were all ABC affiliates then).

Did this edition of TVG still list KXII as NBC/CBS? By this time, the North Texas edition
was calling it CBS/NBC. They still aired Today, Tonight and Tomorrow Coast to Coast
and maybe one night of prime from NBC. But almost all of prime time and all of the
soaps were from CBS by 1980.

KXII was still being listed as NBC/CBS in the Oklahoma State edition.
Other than the three NBC shows you mentioned ("Today," "Tonight,"
and "Tomorrow Coast-to-Coast") I don't see anything other than
CBS shows in daytime, primetime, and Saturday morning, plus CBS's
NFL coverage (KTEN carried NBC's games). In 1981 KXII was also
carrying "Little House On The Prairie" and "Father Murphy" from NBC.

I started working at KXII in December of 1980. We only had one network feed coming
into the building. The switch from NBC to CBS was made via remote to a microwave
relay in about 40 miles away. I never really got a good answer about it, but I'm sure it
was too expensive to run two microwave lines all the way to the building in Sherman.
So KXII was always "in pattern" with whichever network we were running. We couldn't
air a CBS program live from the network while recording one on NBC for later use.
I don't know whether KTEN had both ABC and NBC coming simultaneously into their
building in Ada. At the time the KTEN signal didn't reach the Sherman-Denison area.

And occasionally both stations would run the same
NBC program: case in point, the Miss America Pageant.

Wow. When did that happen? More than 1 year? I'm surprised NBC would allow that
since there WAS significant overlap in their coverage. (Both covered all of their
Oklahoma counties. KTEN didn't cover Grayson County, Texas, but at the time Grayson
wasn't in their ADI.)

Re: RETRO: SCRANTON/WILKES-BARRE, MONDAY OCTOBER 5, 1981

Channel 22 should've said CBS, I'd think? As for those old call letter, were they once
associated with WCAU-TV channel 10 of Philadelphia, in that station's CBS days?

My bad! Yes, WDAU-22 should have been listed as CBS.
As for call letters, you're right - originally, the station was WGBI-TV. It was associated
with the Philadelphia Bulletin and renamed WDAU-TV after Philly's WCAU-TV in 1958.
After being sold to Diversified Communications, it changed call letters again in 1986 to
its present WYOU.

That, and they also didn't follow the usual afternoon PBS schedule of the era -- Sesame
at 4, Mister Rogers at 5 and Electric Company at 5:30.
I think this was also a time when WVIA was a regional "superstation" of sorts, with cable
coverage as far east as Connecticut.

They would eventually place Sesame at 4 and MR at 5, but I don't think that happened
until 1983 or 1984.
The days of them having unconventional programming are gone...The last holdout, I
believe, was "Little House on the Prairie", which had aired at 5:00pm since September
1991 (replacing "Waltons" reruns which aired at 4:30 for two years). It exited the
schedule in 2009. The 5pm-6pm hour is now filled by "Wild Kratts" and "The Electric
Company". Oddly enough, WVIA is now one of the *few* stations airing Sesame at 4....

Ok, that's *two* mistakes.Good eye! Yep, at the usual 6:30pm time.
Small footnote: Down state, WHTM-27 aired the 6pm feed of WNT (opting for syndicated
fare at 6:30...the last one being "Happy Days Again".

Are you sure this is for real? I always thought it was the other way around.
Me too...I had to look twice on that one, but that was what was listed. 1pm MT is
equivalent to GH's usual 3pm ET slot, so I'm guessing ch 7 taped OLTL off the network
feed and played it back on delay or ran it on a day-behind basis...

Re: Retro: Denver Mon, Nov 16, 1998
The "Lucy" program on KPXC, I believe, was "Here's Lucy" (the sitcom she did with her
real-life kids).

6:20 NFL: Broncos-Kansas City

And there were happy MNF fans in Denver that night--the Broncos prevailed over the
arch-rival Chiefs, 30-7.
1998 was the season that ABC unsuccessfully experimented with an earlier MNF start
(8:20 Eastern/5:20 Pacific).

Re: Retro: Oklahoma Tuesday, September 16, 1980
Wasn't KAUT ch 43 in Okla. City trying an all-news format during this time, predating
CNN? And, if so, did TV Guide carry a disclaimer about 43?
(ISTR a news item in maybe Variety about KAUT, that it would run maybe 12 hours a
day, with maybe a children's program to start the day.)

It wouldn't be until the following week, September 24, that KAUT began broadcasting,
initially with an all-news format.

Re: Retro: Western New England - Saturday April 8, 1972
I thought that WWLP-22 Springfield/WRLP-32 Northfield were part of the Boston Red
Sox TV network packaged by WBZ-4 Boston from 1972 through 1974.
On the other hand, NBC's deal with Major League Baseball may have precluded local
telecasts of games picked up by NBC from being seen in the "outer" portions of a team's
regional footprint (i.e. NBC's broadcast may have been blacked-out in the cities of teams
involved in games and on NBC stations within 50 miles of such cities).

WWLP and WRLP were part of the Sox network that year - they carried the Sunday
afternoon game that week.

WWLP at that time was usually hit or miss on carrying the local Red Sox network
telecasts on Saturday afternoons. Generally, if NBC was carrying the Red Sox game on
a Saturday, they would show the NBC feed. If the Red Sox Saturday afternoon game
was an important one, say against the Orioles, Tigers, Yankees or A's, and it wasn't on
NBC, 22 would make an exception and carry the Red Sox TV Network telecast. I
suspect it was due to WWLP wanting to maintain a good relationship with NBC, given
that they were a UHF station, and as a result, at that time, on shakier ground than a VHF
affiliate like WBZ. And if I'm not mistaken, didn't NBC place the Saturday Game Of The
Week on WSBK during WBZ's tenure as Sox TV flagship?
For this particular weekend, listing any MLB games is a moot point, anyway, as all
games were cancelled this weekend due to the players strike. The Red Sox 1st game of
the '72 season would be exactly 1 week later, on April 14th, in Detroit.

To correct the original poster, channel 8 of New Haven, CT was WNHC-TV and then
became WTNH-TV in April of 1971. The only WNHT-TV I'm aware of was for channel 21
of Concord, NH in the 1980s. They were an independent station and then briefly a CBS
affiliate until it went dark in 1989. Today, they're WPXG-TV (ION), a satellite of WBPX-TV
(ION) channel 68 of Boston.

Weren't "Howdy Doody" and "Ruff and Ready" actually broadcast in color??
I thought the former had been colorcast from September, 1955 until it left the air five
years later.

Regarding your question about "Sherwood Forest" on WNAC...it was indeed a rerun of
"Robin Hood". I own the Mill Creek set with all the episodes and there's at least one,
maybe two episodes that are titled "Adventures In Sherwood Forest". All episodes for
around $12 on Amazon even though the quality isn't first rate made it an easy buy for
me. But hey, I still miss prints bicycled around the stations with excessive cue marks. Ah
the old days.

I had the same question, but they weren't marked as color in the Guide. Since there are
other NBC shows in color shown by by WBZ, WCSH and WJAR it's not a question of
them not being able to broadcast the color signal. The Guide also had a WHDH
newscast not listed as color, which I also found unusual.

Re: Retro: Eastern Virginia Tuesday, November 10, 1970
I believe WYAH signed on at noon back then with a 2 hour 700 club and a couple
religious shows till 3 PM. Still WYAH was very weak back in 1970. They began getting
stronger in 1972. bit by bit. By the fall of 1972 WYAH was on for about 13 hours a day. It
was in the Spring of 1973 where WYAH 27 added a ton of syndicated shows and that fall
began broadcasting 20 hours a day. From 1973 on, the station was quite strong. In
Atlanta, WHAE/WANX became stronger all at onec during the course of 1973.

It's possible that WYAH had the 700 Club at noon (I don't see it
anywhere else in these listings) and I know it had to be there, but
I left Hampton Roads two years earlier and didn't start looking at
the old schedules again until a few years ago.
I've lived in the coverage areas of two other CBN stations: WHAE/
WANX Atlanta and KXTX Dallas and in both cases got there in time
to see them become nearly (emphasis on nearly) conventional
independents, with more off-network shows mixed in with the religious
programming (in fact, during the revival of interest in "You Bet Your Life"
in the '70s it was Pat Robertson and not--as you might think--Ted Turner
who put it on in Atlanta, just as he did "The Honeymooners," long before
Turner decided to put it on TBS in the mid-'80s). Interestingly (to me,
at least) Turner carried Andy Griffith in Atlanta while Robertson had him
in Dallas.

Looking at old listings from 1973...WHAE early that year had a couple syndicated low
budget shows and a couple high quality shows occupying maybe 2 and a half hours a
day. They had about 5 hours of religious shows a day. Late in the spring, WHAE abruptly
added about 6 hours a day of stronger shows. That fall another 6 hours or so of stronger
programming. By early 1974, WHAE was quite a strong station in Atlanta. But they went
from almost nothing to being a conventional independent major player in less than a
year.
Unsure how KXTX evolved. By 1974, I am sure KXTX was conventional and competitive
with KTVT. I do believe Channel 39 was a combination of assets from 2 stations. I
believe in the early 70's Pat Robertson owned Channel 33 with a couple hours a day of
secular shows and several hours a day of religion. Doubleday owned Channel 39 which
had about 5 hours of entertainment shows and that was it. Late in 1973, Doubleday
donated Channel 39's license and its programming to Pat Robertson. Then Pat turned
Channel 33 into the FCC, combined Channel 33's assets with Channel 39's making one
station on Channel 39 moving the KXTX calls from Channel 33. I believe in late 1973,
Channel 39 was on the air about 16 hours a day and expanded to all but a couple hours
a day in the course of 1974.
All three stations, WYAH, KXTX, and WHAE/WANX were conventinal independents
ratehr than religious. In fact they ran no more religious shows than most independents
back then, especially when PTL Club (which CBN stations DID NOT carry) and the 700
Club both went into syndication sometime in 74. All three stations were all religious
Sundays until end of September 1980 of at which time these stations ran secular shows
from about 1030 AM till about 6 PM on Sundays.
Retro: New England Monday May 30, 1955

Back at the end of August I posted listings for New England from January 1955
(http://radiodiscussions.com/smf/inde...topic=218409.0). These listings are from almost 6
months later. All 3 Portland area stations are listed but WTAO, while still on the air, is not
listed. Two stations had come on in the spring - WGBH 2 in Boston and WPRO 12
Providence. Providence now had 2 stations and all CBS programming has left WJAR.

Re: Retro: New England Monday May 30, 1955
The May 30th, 1955 Boston Globe did list the programming broadcast that day by
WTAO-56, and this is the schedule:
1:15 P.M.-Sign-On/Film Short

1:30 P.M.-Horse Racing From Suffolk Downs
(it is possible that this event ran all the way until 5 P.M.; if it didn't, WTAO signed-off until
5 P.M., when programs resumed as follows
5:00 P.M.-The Christophers (religious program)
5:30 P.M.-Feature Theatre (a movie whose title was not listed)
7:00 P.M.-Encore Show (maybe a repeat of a half-hour film drama)
7:30 P.M.-Movie: "Letter From A Pilot" (I could not find a feature film by that title on
IMDB.com)
8:30 P.M.-Movie: "Out Of The Blue" (according to IMDB.com, there were two movies with
that title that could have been shown in this slot: A British film made in 1931 and an
American film produced in 1947. Given that WTAO was likely being run on a shoestring,
I think it was the former; it would likely have cost WTAO less to get the rights to show
that version)
10:00 P.M.-Boxing Bout-10 Round Middleweight bout between Gene Poirier and Miguel
Diaz (at the time, the DuMont network was broadcasting Monday-night boxing from St.
Nicholas Arena in New York; according to Brooks and Marsh, a young Chris Schnekel
did the play-by-play. Although most DuMont programming had ended on April 1st, the
boxing show would continue on the network until August 8th, 1956, and locally on
WABD/WNEW-5 New York for a couple of more years after that. The August 8th, 1956
edition was DuMont's last network program)
11:00 P.M. (approximate)-Sign-Off

It would be interesting to see listings for Boston during October 1954.
MA apparently remained on DST (EDT) until October 31 in 1954 (New Hampshire

also did--until 10/27/54). All other areas returned to standard time at the end
of September in '54.
Source: Time Changes In The USA by Doris Chase Doane.
Sorry I don't have listings for October 1954. If I ever come across them I'll post them.

Not much..As of May 20 1955, Captain Video, Fulton Sheen, Game Show Down You Go
and Plainclothesmen and Rocky King had all been canceled (The Detective shows in
1954)..At the Cleveland WXEL/WEWS switchover (WEWS to ABC, WXEL to CBS) in
March 1955, Captain Video and The Boxing were the only DuMont Shows Channel 5
carried..

According to Wikipedia "What's The Story" was the last non-sports program on DuMont.

Oldiesfan6479:
The information on vintage Boston Globe TV listings comes from a "Historical

Newspapers" feature on Pro Quest.
Although I access the information from Pro Quest at my library through their "catalog and
databases" computers and send the pages to my E-Mail box, you can go to
http://www.proquest.com/en-US/ and try your luck at accessing them.
While I don't have any October, 1954 Boston TV listings in front of me, I do seem to
recall that most network programs here in Boston aired an hour later than usual, and that
late local news on WBZ-4 and WNAC-7 came on until 12 Midnight instead of 11 P.M.

Interesting to see that "I Love Lucy", the #1 show at the time, wasn't cleared in pattern in
either Hartford or Springfield. Was it shifted to another time slot in those markets or not
cleared at all?
Also intriguing to see "Lucy" and "Burns and Allen" cleared on TWO stations in Portland.
I know WMTW had a killer signal at the time due to its transmitter location on Mt.
Washington. IIRC, it had a significant audience up in the Montreal area. Wonder if that
had something to do with it.

WTIC ran a movie on Monday night into the 70s. They cleared most of the preempted
shows on Sunday afternoons. I'll post a Sunday schedule sometime this week.
I should clarify (that's what I get for replying too quickly) - WTIC didn't come on until
1957, but did preempt Monday night programming for a movie. CBS had to buy WHCT
channel 18 to get any clearance.

Interesting that WBZ didn't clear Huntley-Brinkley Report and run a local news program
instead.

All part of Westinghouse's battle with NBC. At that point in time NBC had forced
Westinghouse to the Cleveland-Philadelphia swap, and they were trying to swap WRC
Washington for WNAC. If that was allowed (it was stopped by the Department of Justice
as part of the investigation of the Cleveland swap) NBC would own WNAC, CBS would
have gone to WHDH and WBZ would get ABC.
If you look at my posting for Sunday February 22, you'll see that WGBH had most of the
NBC and CBS public affairs programming.

I had thought that the WRC/WNAC swap was announced in March of 1960 (but was of
course, never approvced).
The stress in the Group W/NBC relationship probably went back to the Summer of 1956,
when five Group W radio stations (WBZ-1030 Boston, KDKA-1020 Pittsburgh, WOWO1190 Fort Wayne and KYW-1100 Cleveland) all dropped their NBC radio affiliations and
went "independent" with local DJ's spinning records round-the-clock.

Or possibly earlier, in 1955 when Westinghouse bought KDKA and made it a CBS
affiliate despite decades of KDKA-AM as an NBC affiliate. WPTZ preempting "Today" for
Ernie Kovack's "Three to Get Ready" was also an issue.

Retro: This Week in TV Guide, November 3, 1973 - MN State Edition

The great Jim McKay, only a year after his historic reporting of the Munich Olympics
massacre, is the focal point of this week's issue. But there's more: In Concert vs. The
Midnight Special, a ratings win for the World Series, and - well, did Deirdre Lenihan ever
become the Next Big Thing?
I'll have a snapshot of some daily listings later this week. In the meantime as always,
your comments, positive and negative, are welcome.

Notes:
Times certainly are different, aren't they? Look at all the religious programming
on Sunday morning.
As far as I know, in all the years Channel 4 never carried the CBS Sunday
morning lineup of Lamp Unto My Feet, Look Up and Live and Camera Three, nor
were they ever shown on any other Twin Cities channel.

Channel 4 showed local news/Woodcraft Hobby Show/Lets Go Skiing in
CBS Childrens Film Festival Saturday afternoon slot; it was always shown on Sunday
morning instead, preempting those network shows listed above.
Channel 10 showed local movies in The Rookies Monday night slot; hence its
showing on Sunday night.
Apropos of today being Election Day, the episode of Columbo is Candidate for
Crime, which I mention here http://www.itsabouttv.com/2012/10/12...al-movies.html.

You must have made a typo for in posting the TV listings for November 4th, 1975, you
indicated that WCCO-4 carried various programs and an NFL game from CBS between
12 Noon and 3 P.M. Central time.
According to Shrp Sports.com, the Minnesota Vikings were at home that day (an NFC
team hosting an AFC club was the only way NBC could carry an NFC game back then). I
suspect that WCCO, as a CBS station, could not carry any early-afternoon (12:05 P.M.
CT) NFL game because the Vikings were playing in a televised home game.
I believe that ever since 1973, when the NFL first allowed sold-out games to be televised
in the city they were being played in (and on stations in other markets within 75 miles of
the home team's city), if a local team's home game was being televised, no out-of-town
game could be televised in the home team's city at the same time.

You are indeed correct - channel 4 didn't carry the Vikings game that day. Ghastly
mistake on my part - I must have been too focused on them not carrying Camera Three!
Thanks for the catch!

That brings to mind stories of bars in The Cities that set up some fairly elaborate, tall
antennas to pick up the Mason City, Iowa CBS affiliate channel 3 KGLO-TV (now KIMT)
120 miles south. I think KGLO was reprimanded by the FCC back around this time for
operating with unauthorized reduced power during NFL games...seems the Viking brass
got a little too chummy with KGLO.
Maybe someone more familiar with this story can weigh in...
I'm receiving a Minnesota TVG from 1958 on Friday. I'll post those listings soon.

Re: Retro; New York City, Wednesday, November 11. 1959
The show listed as "Mr. Adorns and Eve" is a typo. The show was "Mr. Adams and Eve" I
remember seeing it in reruns a few years later. Since it was on Channel 11 (ind), I
assume it was already in reruns by November 59. It was quite funny - at least I thought
so. It starred Howard Duff and Ida Lupino (who were married at the time) as a
Hollywoood show-biz couple. I guess they were more or less playing themselves. Alan
Reed (later the voice of Fred Flintstone) played the pompous head of the studio they
worked for, and Hayen Rorke (later I Dream of Jeannie played the Adams' agent.

Yep - their come from behind win on this day would give the Chiefs a record of 2-8-1. :P
http://www.pro-football-reference.co...8811130kan.htm
Also, what's up with Channel 5 showing only a 15-minute version of "Headlines On Trial"
at the start of the broadcast day, and the full half-hour later that evening?
Looks like the Chiefs were blacked out in KC that day.

Yep...what's the distance between KC and Joplin? Were there parts of the KC market
that could pick up the Joplin area channels?
before the days of TV stations buying the remaining tickets, you could still get enough
ratings airing an old movie to fill in a blacked out game
I think the Joplin market is outside the blackout radius, Topeka isn't
Also, what's up with Channel 5 showing only a 15-minute version of "Headlines On Trial"
at the start of the broadcast day, and the full half-hour later that evening?
Not sure what the reason is there...I always thought HoT was a half-hour show ???
Was NFL Live actually live or pre-recorded?
Retro: This Week in TV Guide, November 14, 1973 - MN State Edition
I'm afraid whenever I think of Perry Como, I remember the SCTV bit "Perry Como - Still
Alive." But he sure was smooth. There's also a very interesting article on how television
has changed politics, written by John F. Kennedy (or Ted Sorenson, perhaps?) Plus the
latest fashions for the holidays, modeled by some of TV's loveliest women, and
highlights of the week.
As always, your comments, positive or negative, are welcome.
And here's the selected lineup from Monday, November 16. Unless otherwise noted, all
channels are from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

Agreed...it was listed as CBS when I typed it, but somehow in fighting with the site to get
it posted (took me half a dozen tries and about an hour) it somehow got switched to
ABC...likely when I was fixing typos ;D

9:00 Sonny Comedy Revue (with guests Jill St. John, the Hudson Brothers, Miss
America, and Avril Lund)
...Avril Lund, the 1974 Penthouse Pet of the Year, on the same show as Rebecca Ann
King, the 1974 Miss America??!? Considering Ms. King's immediate predecessor, Terry
Ann Meeuwsen, went to work for Pat Robertson's The 700 Club Pay-For-Pray show in
the '80s, I suspect such a joint booking couldn't have occurred on The Sonny & Cher
Comedy Hour one year earlier. ;D Anyone recall, provided anyone here bothered to
watch the show, if there were any segments featuring Lund and King onstage at the
same time?...

Neither of these were uncommon during this period -- KIRO-TV channel 7 in Seattle also
started the CBS Saturday schedule at 8 AM during this time frame. For some reason, the
CBS Saturday morning time feed on the west coast matched the ET schedule instead of
the CT schedule (as was the case for NBC and ABC). I think CBS finally moved it's
Saturday morning west coast feed up by an hour a couple years later.
As for finishing the Saturday cartoon schedule after college football on the west coast, I
know that KOMO-TV channel 4 in Seattle did the same thing. I believe that their sister
station in Portland (KATU-TV channel 2) did, as well.

I'd like to see the ratings for the 6 PM news following "Superfriends" - you know, find out
how much of the lead-in the newscast kept..

This is nearly the same Z Channel lineup that was also given in the Nov. 4, 1980
(Election Day) thread--was this all they aired on or around early November 1980? IMO it
makes one wish that someone had only debunked a certain cable "myth" 10 years, 3
months, and 6 days BEFORE it would first be revealed to the public courtesy of Marge
Simpson:
"Myth: It's only fair to pay for quality first-run movies.

Fact: Most movies shown on cable get two stars or less
and are repeated ad nauseum.
Hmm I don't know."
Courtesy of Season 2, Episode 7F13 of the Simpsons ("Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th
Commandment"--the "stealing cable" episode):
http://www.snpp.com/episodes/7F13.html
I think that "fact" described "The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh" airings on Z Channel to a T.

Not many.
Maybe only a couple of hundred thousand homes in the entire country.
From the mid 1950's until around 1965, NBC was the only network doing an extensive
schedule of color programs (with the number of hours of color shows increasing
gradually each year).
It was not until 1961 or 1962 that the number of homes with at least one color-TV set
reached one million. That number doubled within a couple of years, and reached five
million in 1965 (the year ABC and CBS began extensive color programming and NBC,
except for "I Dream Of Jeannie", "Convoy", "Concentration", and some old movies, went
all-color), doubling again within a year or two after that. By the early 1970's, a majority of
TV homes had at least one color set.
Initially, color-TV sets were very expensive. By the early 1960's, the price began to go
down, and the number of sets sold (and therefore, homes with color sets) went up.

Re: Retro: Detroit Thanksgiving Day, Nov 25, 1965
The absence of the Packers at Lions annual Thanksgiving game on the CBS affiliates is
noted...the old blackout rules, I asssume. Detroit/Windsor, Toledo, Lansing/Ann Arbor,
Flint/Saginaw and Port Huron were the affected markets and sub-markets.
Correct.
And because of that blackout, viewers in Detroit and nearby cities missed an NFL
television "first": The Detroit/Green Bay game was the first NFL game CBS ever
broadcast in color.
If my memory serves me correct, CBS got it's first color mobile unit a little more than a
month earlier, and that the 1965 Turkey Day game was only the second time it was
used; I believe it had been driven to Cape Canaveral a month earlier to cover what
would have been the launch of Gemini 6 (which was cancelled when an unmanned
target rocket that Gemini 6 was to have docked with in orbit instead exploded just as it
was going into orbit; Gemini 6 was finally launched in mid-December while Gemini 7 was
still in orbit and 6 met up, but could not rock with, 7).

I suspect that the newscasts just before sign-off consisted of an off-camera announcer
reading wire copy while viewers saw a "News" slide.
This was common practice at UHF independents back then.
Was "Kup's Show" actually a five-days-a-week hour-long show with KFIZ-34 deciding to
show the week's output back-to-back in one sitting??

According to what tv guide tells me the "kups show" aired on Channels 18 (WVTV) and
34 (KFIZ). It aired for four hours on both stations. The tv guide lists the time of the show
as Approx 4 hrs. The tv guide description almost leads me believe it aired live but I find
that highly unlikely.

...in that era, Kup's Show was pre-recorded at WMAQ-TV/5 Chicago (Irv Kupcinet was a
longtime celebrity columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, serving much the same function
Herb Caen was at the San Francisco Chronicle) and syndicated both commercially and
to PBS affiliates in markets where commercial stations didn't pick it up. It indeed ran for
four hours a week, I believe there may have been two weekend showings in Chicago
(two hours on Saturday nights/Sunday mornings after The Weekend Tonight Show) and
the remainder on Sunday nights after the 10:00 newscast on WMAQ-TV, with the four
hours being shown the following weekend on WVTV/18 and KFIZ-TV/34. The show was
later moved to WTTW/11, Chicago's main PBS outlet, where it pretty much became a
two-hour weekly show strictly airing on PBS affiliates...

This can't be 1959...it looks more like 1965 or '66. ???
I was thinking the same thing....perhaps even later than that because of the mention of
Vietnam war protests and so many color shows.

And WKBD in the listings, i think it could be more 1965/66, since WKBD didn't even
broadcast anything until January 1965.

This would be November, 1965 since "Shindig" went twice-a-week (Thursdays and
Saturdays, each for a half-hour) in the Fall of 1965, but was gone by January.
BTW, the first period of the "Hockey Night In Canada" game on CBC (CKLW-9) was not
televised. The telecast was joined in progress either towards the end of the first period or
between the first and second periods. It's possible that by this time, goals scored before
the telecast began may have been shown on videotape at the start of the telecast.
I don't think "HNIC" did regular-season games in full until 1967 or 1968.
According to Shrp Sports.com, Montreal was also playing that night (hosting the New
York Rangers) and I would think that the Montreal game was seen on CBC stations in
Quebec (and maybe the Maritimes) as well as on all SRC (CBC French) stations (Back
then, I think all SRC TV stations were in Quebec).
And thanks to her lead-in, it's my guess that "Juliette" was probably the second mostpopular CBC show (and maybe the second most-popular show on Canadian TV) at the
time.

She was so popular, she was known as "Our Pet Juliette"

So how did that work, then? Did they do it out of the goodness of their hearts, or was
there some kind of state subsidy for showing the programming?
Also, what were 'continental classroom' ( 6am on NBC) and 'Sunrise semester; (6.30 on
CBS)? Were these educational shows also?

"Continental Classroom" and the more-successful "Sunrise Semester"
were educational programs that allowed viewers to take college courses
for credit (some 300 colleges and universities took part, while
"Semester" offered courses through NYU). At the time, "Classroom"
was a network show, airing two different courses at 6 and 6:30 AM;
"Semester" was a local offering on WCBS. CBS put it on the network in
1963 ("Classroom" ended in 1964) and it lasted until 1982.
I remember an article in TV Guide in the early '70s which mentioned that

some of the professors on "Semester" had unwittingly developed fan clubs,
and that some viewers had developed crushes on them; one, a sailor in
Norfolk, had developed one for a professor named Jill Claster; he wrote her
a note telling her he took her course (History of the Early Middle Ages) just to
see her and asked her not to answer, that he might catch grief from some of
his fellow sailors. She obliged him.

WEWS-TV 5 Cleveland had a program called Western Reserve Telecourses that
generally aired 9-9:30 AM weekdays from September 1951 to January 1967, after which
it aired exclusively on WVIZ-NET 25..

I should clarify a point in my posting about "Continental Classroom"
and "Sunrise Semester": it was "Classroom" that offered credit through
more than 300 colleges and universities; "Semester" was through NYU
only.
Tim L, this might interest you: there were two women in Ohio, one in
her 70s, the other in her 80s, who would watch "Semester" twice: at
6 AM on WBNS and again at 7:30 on WHIO. They did this to help them
remember what they heard (and perhaps to fill in gaps they missed the
first time), then carry on a telephone discussion of the day's lecture.

There was no subsidy that I'm aware of. A lot of statiions set aside 30 or even 60
minutes in a day for educational programming at no charge when there was no fulltime
educational station in a market, and most of them did it as a part of the public service
commitment they made to get their broadcast licenses (especially if they won a
comparative hearing). Some even offered studio facilities and personnel to help produce
the shows.
In Rochester, to give one example, both WROC-TV and WHEC-TV gave late morning
free time to the city schools and the educational television association for programming
that coukd be used by area students in the classroom. They also occasionally put prime
time educational specials on their schedule (most furnished either by local colleges or by
NET, the predecessor of PBS) through the early 60s. Like in New York after the sign-on
of Channel 13 as an educational/cultural station in 1962, the commercial stations upstate
scaled back and eventually phased out their educational programming once a fulltime
noncommercial station signed on in 1966.

KNDX would later switch calls to KXMA in 1985. A new Fox-affiliated station in Bismarck
would sign on with the KNDX calls in 1998.

Just as odd is the fact that they carried Farm Day and AM Weather twice. Furthermore,
they also carried "Real People" -- was this the same "Real People" that aired on NBC,
and if so, was it the syndicated "More Real People" reruns?

Was this the same program as WBIR with Cas Walker?

7 PM Adventure Time
Anybody have any idea what this was?
Based on the rest of the schedule, it was most likely a travellogue or animal show of
kind.
Although at one point, ABC was showing reruns of the original Mickey Mouse Club
serials (Spin & Marty, etc) under this name. Is it possible they reverted back to this to
avoid confusion with the New Mickey Mouse Club?

I doubt if it has anything to do with Disney. His "Adventure
Time" consisted of reruns of the various serials, such as "Spin
and Marty," that had originally aired on the "Mickey Mouse Club";
these were put back into the reruns of the original show in syndication.
More than likely, it's a travelogue; for one thing, it's in color.

According to this site, it was Friday's CBS Late Movie on November 16, 1973:
http://epguides.com/CBSLateMovie/
As I said, I tended to believe this was the CBS late movie on Friday, rather
than the one on Ch. 5. What's confusing is that CBS ran a lot of horror movies
on Fridays, many of them with Christopher Lee, and he was in the movies airing
on both stations.
And as for the Falcons, they played host to Minnesota on Monday night. I assume
there was no blackout; TV Guide shows Ch. 11 carrying the game.
Retro: This Week in TV Guide, November 17, 1962 - MSP Edition

It's Thanksgiving week (early in 1962 just as it is this year), and that means parades,
football, and specials. The Packers and Lions play one of the most storied
Thanksgiving Day games in NFL history, Pat Boone gets down with Peter, Paul and
Mary, and the profile of Jack Lord shows a young man who wants to make it big, big!
Stoney Burke isn't the series that gets him there, but that doesn't mean he won't
make it big.
As always, your comments, positive or negative, are welcome.

Re: Retro: This Week in TV Guide, November 17, 1962 - MSP Edition
Great entry! Funny about the new 5-0 in name only - every time the promo ran in
yesterday's Pats-Colts game either my brother or I would say "What would happen if
Jack Lord came down from TV Heaven and saw this?". I actually don't mind the new
show, but it helps if you approach it as "CSI: Hawaii" rather than 5-0.
I have the Eastern New England TV Guide for Thanksgiving 1957. Here are the listings
for the parades:
Thursday November 28, 1957
10:15a
5-6-9-10 Thanksgiving Day Parade - J.L. Hudson (ABC)
Big Mouseketeer Jimmie Dodd is at the microphone for this 45-minute telecast of the
annual J.L. Hudson Thanksgiving Day Parade in Detroit. The parade, consisting of 20
floats, reaches a climax in the final float carrying Santa Claus. Other floats include:
peace on earth, with cartwheel and police clowns; Humpty Dumpty; Three Blind Mice;
Cat Nip-ups; Cinderella's slipper; Hans Brinker and the silver skates; Aladdin's lamp;
Mother Goose; Clown Marionettes; Mr. and Mrs. Snowman; Moon train; Slow poke the
snail; Fish family and toy show wedding; more of the big heads, and Doodle Bug
11:00a
4-10 Thanksgiving Day Parade - Macy's (NBC)
The annual Thanksgiving Day Parade put on by Macy's in New York City is seen in a
one-hour telecast. Cameras are stationed near the windup point of the parade on 34th
St. Hugh O'Brien as Wyatt Earp is gran marshal. Celebrities taking part in the parade
include Farley Granger, Bill "Hopalong Cassidy" Boyd and his horse Topper, Margaret
O'Brien, and Eddie Foy, Jr.
2:30p
5 Thanksgiving Eve Parade - Bamberger's (delayed from the previous evening - this was
WHDH channel 5's first day on the air) (ABC)
The annual Thanksgiving Eve Parade of Light of Bamberger's department store is tlecast
from Weequahic Park, Newark, N.J. John Daly does the commentary. Santa Claus leads
the parade and celebrities participate.
And the football...

12:00p
7-8-12-13 Pro Football (CBS)
Packers vs. Lions - Bob Kelley and Joe Boland report
1:15p
4-6-10 College Football (NBC)
Colgate vs. Brown
3:30p
Texas vs. Texas A&M

Very cool on the listings, particularly that ABC used to cover the Hudson's parade. I
know we've gotten a one-hour syndicated version from time to time in the past few
years, but I always used to enjoy that parade a lot when it was on CBS - gave me a hint
as to what the weather would be for the Lions game (back when that mattered).
It' kind of ironic on the football, isn't it? Texas and A&M don't play each other at all
anymore (at least for the near future), and a lot of people think that '62 game was the
last straw for Lombardi as far as the Packers and Lions playing on Thanksgiving.
Love the 5-0 comment! Do you think he'd be saying, "Be here - aloha!" about the new
series?

Retro Turkey Day Telecast
There had to be a typo in the "Captain Kangaroo" listing for Thanksgiving Day, 1962.
I didn't think the show was broadcast in color until the Fall of 1965.
For Maureen Carney:
Did the New England edition of TV Guide for November 23rd-29th, 1957 indicate who
did the commentary for NBC's broadcast of the Macy's Parade?? Could it have been
either the team of Chet Huntley and David Brinkley, or perhaps Dave Garroway??

No, it didn't list the commentators. I typed the listings in full.

You're correct -a misplaced cut/paste. It was actually the NBC Macy's coverage that was
in color. Thanks!

I think I'll go for the personal life part. Aside from the pilot, I'm not sure McGarrett had
one! But seriously, I think we see far too much of far too many characters' private lives
nowadays. I'd rather the writers put a little more effort into concocting a better episode
plot.

Re: Retro: Los Angeles Sun, Nov 2, 1980
Thanks - would eventually love a weekday and Saturday and Sunday Schedule from this
market each year from the years of 1975 to 1979 and again from 1981 to 1983. You
have some of these up already - But try to fill in holes for these years if you could. I DO
apreciate this schedule though. Thanks - These postings can be time consuming at
times. Thanks again.

4:00 Magical Mystery Trip Through Little Red's Head (2 kids get shrunk and travel

Both these specials were previously ABC Afterschool Specials from the first two
seasons, the former actually called "The Incredible, Indelible, Magical Physical, Mystery
Trip". Both these specials were notable for featuring Timer, the character well-known for
his "Time for Timer" PSAs during ABC's Saturday morning line-up.
That being said, I didn't even know that any Afterschool Specials were syndicated.

Calls should actually be "KECY-TV". Strange that they were mentioned in that edition -for all I know, the Yuma / El Centro stations were listed only in the Phoenix edition of
TVG.

Someone forgot to tell Jack then, as the calls were listed as KECC in the ad, as well as
the other 3 channels in El Lay and Palm Springs that aired his show.

Actually, he was right -- according to Wikipedia, KECY was "KECC" until 1981.

Re: Retro: St. Louis Mon, Nov 16, 1998
I see KDNL preempted "Politically Incorrect" with Bill Maher, VERY late (1:36AM). Were
there any other stations that either showed Politically Incorrect later than 12:05/11:05c,
or didn't show it at all?
KOMO 4 showed it at regular time in Seattle.
-crainbebo
KMBC delayed it until after Midnight, and it still got good ratings
For the first three months of Politically Incorrect, WFTV aired it at 3:05 AM, it then moved
to it's normal time.

Of all the times I've seen "Dennis The Menace" in listings on this board, usually
designated as "(animated)" when it's obvious that's what edition of the show it is if it's
scheduled in the middle of other cartoons, I'm actually wondering if the version KNLC
showed here was the cartoon or not (I'm assuming it might be).
Looking at the listings, I'm thinking that too, but the listings didn't indicate which version
of Dennis it was, especially given it had Garfield for a lead-in and Lucy following it...
...was Larry Rice the Dr. Gene Scott of KNLC, or what?

Yes, but more conservative -- it was his messages about abortion and the death penalty
that led to Fox to move its Fox Kids programming to New World Fox affiliate KTVI. In
recent years, KNLC launched a subchannel, whose focus is on renewable energy, a
topic you most-often don't hear about in Christian media.

Re: Retro: SCranton Wilkes Barre TV - December 1 - 1985 Sunday
The NHL Hockey Game was on Channel 57 Sunday evening - NOT Channel 29 - typo Mission was still on 57 though. the movie on 57 was on 29 I believe.

1 PM NFL Football Cleveland Browns at New York Giants (Why on NBC thought
Giants were CBS back then)
This was because the Browns were the visiting AFC team playing against the NFC
Giants, which meant the game was aired on NBC (such a scenario would occur today on
CBS).

Do you have any listings from the mid '60s?
Time Range: (1962-1966)

Is there any date/year/event in particular you're looking for? If crainbebo doesn't have it,
I might. I'd be happy to check for you.
I'm looking for Minnesota TV Listings from 1962 to start, and end with 1966.
Well, for my part I can say that I've got three from that era coming up in the next month
in my "This week in TV Guide" series. Most of my back issues are from Minnesota, and
I've got quite a few in the 62-66 range. Let me know if you'd like to see anything special
from those issues.
...interesting that there's no NWA wrestling on either KMSP/9 or WTCN-TV/11, the two
stations that Verne Gagne's AWA All-Star Wrestling would be produced at for most of
that promotion's existence. At the time, hometown boy Gagne was a big name in the
NWA. What station did have a wrestling program in the Twin Cities in '58-'60, prior to
Gagne and Wally Karbo establishing the AWA, and when did they run it?...

Re: Retro: Birmingham and West-Central Alabama, Wednesday 11/24/65
According to Wikipedia, Channel 42 debuted on 10/17/65. I remember when it came on,
but since I was only 5 at the time I don't remember all the details.
For whatever reason (probably the combo of their weak signal and it not being available
to cable viewers in Tuscaloosa and Northport), Channel 42 wasn't included in the
Tuscaloosa News' listings. I'll try to go through Google News Archive and see exactly
when they added Channel 42. I do know that by the mid '70's they also included the
listings for Channel 9 in Tupelo.

A great weekday schedule with a bit of everything - still weak with movies - Metromedia
was not big on running large amounts of movies on their stations - They preferred first
run syndicated shows in prime time and liked running merv on most stations.
Metromedia would stop producing this show soon after they sold the TV division to Fox.
Also movies on Channel 5 tended to be older than on WPIX and WOR TV being they did
not need alot of movies due to the fact they counter programmed prime time.

Re: New York Stations that reached Scranton Through cable - December 2-6-85
Actually, Wheel and Jeopardy didn't land on the same station (WABC) until 1990.

I can understand the independent NYC stations being carried on cable in cable's early
days, in Scranton and other smaller Northeastern markets. My friend in Syracuse got 5,
9 and 11 from NYC as well as 38 from Boston on his cable system. He even got CBC 11
from Kingston Ont. for the first couple of years.
But he didn't get NYC network stations. I wonder why they were available in the
Scranton area, since Scranton has had ABC, NBC and CBS for many years, plus could
get CBS 12 from Binghamton as well, since it had a good VHF signal from 35-40 miles
to the north.
The Northeast PA TV Guide carried most NYC and Philadelphia TV stations but I thought
that was more for viewers in the Allentown-Stroudsberg area who had no network
affiliates of their own.

The reason in The Scranton area for New York City stations was beacuse back in 1960
when the cable system began, Cable was to bring in more than your nearby stations and
to bring in a dozen channels to places with bad reception. So Scranton had 4 stations
and New Yoprk City had 7 so the logic was to carry both. The headends in the Scranton
area easily picked up NYC stations so to suppliment WNEP, WBRE, WDAU, and WVIA,
they carried NYC stations. They also eventually carried the PBS station in Allentown.
Toward the northern end of the market, they also carried NYC indies but for Net Affiliates
they carried Binghamton. In the 70's, as cable systems there got increased capacity and
added HBO, they began carrying Philadelphia independents as well. Some systems
carred the Scranton stations and out of market indies on basic and in the pay area
carried duplicate network affiliates.
One reason for carrying NYC was there were alot of people living in the Scranton Wilkes
Barre Hazelton area that were transplants from teh NY Netro area, especially in the
Poconos and Stroudsburg area. Also before the late 80's there were few franchise and
syndex protection laws, so if a cable system could get a station off air on its headend it
could be carried. Unsure if NYC stations are still on cable today...My guess is maybe -

It all had to do with the terrain of the region, as well as the power and location of the
UHF transmitters. And until the late-1960s, all three stations carried the same programs,
both network and syndicated, as part of the regional "Keystone Network"; each station
had their own news and commercials. But as there was considerable overlap in 60% of
the market between the three stations, many viewers had a choice of at least two CBS
affiliates. This is especially after WHP broke off from the regional network in the late1960s following an ownership change, with WSBA and WLYH continuing to share
programs until WSBA became an indie as WPMT (now Fox) in 1983. WLYH would leave
CBS in 1995 to carry the new UPN network (it is affiliated with CW today).

Yes harrisburg had 3 CBS affiliates till 1983. My guess also was back in the 1950's each
statin had a very week signal with little overlap. Each station may have reached 20
miles. WGAL 8 The NBC station though covered the entire region into the western area
of the Philadephia market as well as Baltimore. Also in many parts of this market CBS
affiliate 2 WMAR (became NBC in 81 and ABC in 95) reached the area as well. Channel
27 was the ABC affiliate with a better UHF signal than the 3 CBS stations. Plus wherever
you could not get Channel 27 you got 13 in Baltimore for ABC and to the east 6 in
Philadelphia. With Cable you got several of each network station. The arrangement with
CBS was obsolete by 1970. Sometime in the late 60's and Early 70's WHP broke away
and kept CBS while boosting its signal while 15 and 43 remained together.
By the mid 70's, 15 and 43 simulcast except for a couple hours a day maybe. Channel
21 had its own syndicated shows. My guess CBS had allowed this was to make sure
everyone in that market could that could get WGAL could get CBS shows as well. The
other funny thing - The CBS SUnday Morning cartoon reruns ran on none of the stations.
Also the 90 minutes of CBS public affairs shows were preempted as well. So even with 2
CBS stations a few shows still fell through the cracks.
I believe 43 WSBA went dark late in 1982 or early in 1983 . I know 43 signed on as an
independent Labor Day weekend 1983 and owned by Renaissance Broadcasting (which
also began 20 WTXX Hartford and 39 WDZL Miami a year before). 43 WPMT boosted
its power to 5 million watts. The 2 CBS affiliates had about 75 % overlap by then as well.
Its a mystery why it took so long for one of these stations to break away and become an
independent.
Also would love a Saturday schedule as well as a weekday

Just to nitpick:
The old WTXX-TV channel 20 was/is licensed to WATERBURY, a good distance

southwest from Hartford down I-84. They're CW affiliated WCCT-TV now. Their
transmitter is closer to Hartford via Rattlesnake Mountain in Farmington, CT.
Regardless, Hartford/New Haven once had two NBC affiliates. That same channel 20
was NBC affiliated WATR-TV until early 1982. They helped fill in the reception holes for
portions of New Haven County, due to WVIT-TV (NBC) channel 30 of New
Britain/Hartford not having their signal upgrade until about 1978. Naturally, the signal
overlap was significant and NBC on channel 20 was considered redundant by the early
1980s.
Getting back to Harrisburg/Lancaster/York...I see that the reason they could only have
one VHF station in the market was fairly obvious in the analog days:
2- Baltimore/New York City/Pittsburgh

3- Philadelphia/Clearfield, PA
4- Washington/New York City/Pittsburgh
5- Washington/New York City/Weston, WV
6- Philadelphia/Johnstown
7- Washington/New York City/Wheeling, WV
9- Washington/Secaucus, NJ/Steubenville, OH
10- Philadelphia/Altoona
11- Baltimore/New York City/Pittsburgh
12- Wilmington, DE/Binghamton/Clarksburg, WV
13- Baltimore/Pittsburgh
Maybe I'm wrong on a couple of them. I don't know what the separation requirements
were for analog VHF. I once read how they had to "shoe horn" or drop in WWCP-TV
(FOX) channel 8 of Johnstown, because of WGAL-TV being there first.

I assume that "Images & Actions" was the program used to
mark the 30th anniversary of "Lamp Unto My Feet," since it
started in 1948 (the other two components of CBS's religious/
cultural block were "Look Up And Live," which debuted in 1954,
and "Camera Three," which started locally in New York in 1953
and went network in 1956). Within two months "Sunday Morning"
would replace this entire block, although "Camera Three" spent a
year or so more on PBS.

Though on CBS, "Lamp" and "Look Up" would be supplanted with "For Our Times", a
replacement CBS religious program that was seen through the late-1980s -- like the
others, that too also had low clearance.

Also WCAU TV preempted moderate amounts of CBS Saturday and Sunday Morning
programs beginning in the fall of 1976. They preempted "Far Out Space Nuts" reruns in
the fall of 1976 on Sunday Mornings. Beginning in Winter of 1977 they dumped Lamp
Unto My Feet. That Spring of 1977, Look Up and Live was also dropped...bringing
preemptions to 90 minutes Sunday Mornings. The Fall of 1977, WCAU TV dumped
Camera Three and they alos stopped running the other Sunday morning half hour of kids
CBS programming. So WCAU TV was preempting 2 hours of SUnday Morning shows
from CBS 1977-78; Ghostbusters live action, Ark II (late Waco), Lamp, Look Up, and
Camera Three. In the fall of 1978, they moved Marlo & Magic Movie Machine which was
syndicated to 8 AM Saturday Morning, preempting the first hour of Saturday cartoons.

So at this point in 1978, WCAU TV preempted a hour of CBS cartoons Saturdays, an
hour of CBS Cartoon reruns SUndays, and 90 minutes of CBS Cultural and religious
shows, totalling 3 and a half hours a week, On Saturday Mornings at 7 AM WCAU TV
ran a local religious show called Credo.
In the winter of 1979, CBS News SUnday Morning replaced the 90 minutes of low rated
public affairs and religious shows and WCAU TV added that. Marlo was cut in
syndication to 30 minutes as well so WCAU TV added a hoal hour od Sunday Morning
cartoons, What's New Mr Magoo to Saturday mornings at 830. So WCAU prempted an
hour of Saturday Morning cartoons, ran half an hour of Sunday Cartoons on Saturday
Mornings, preempting 30 minutes of the Sunday cartoon lineup. So preemptions totaled
to 90 minutes. That Fall, Marlo moved to Sundays again. WCAU TV reinstated one of
the Sunday Morning cartoons which I believe was The Sketebirds. They began a local
kids show called Candy Apple News Co on sunday morning as well. Saturdays, they
reinstated the 8 AM hour of cartoons after Credo, So WCAU TV was back to only 30
minutes of preemptions.
I am surpirsed as an O & O WCAU TV was allowed to preempt anything. I would think

CBS would force O & O stations to run entire lineups and its not like WCAU TV had
anything great to run in CBS shows place. Still that 90 minutes of cultural religious
shows was widely preempted and carried only by maybe a dozen affiliates. The SUnday
Morning hour of kids' shows also was widely preempted and only on about a dozen
stations as well.
By 1980, WCAU TV was running the entire CBS Weekend lineup again.

The Christian Hour only runs a half hour. The radio version that I ran sixteen years later

minutes.

4 PM AFL Football: Jets-Chargers (time approximate, I think this is

the week after the "Heidi Bowl")
4 PM AFL Football: Jets-Chargers
4 PM AFL Football: Jets-Chargers (time approximate)

...indeed, the Heidi Bowl was the previous Sunday, 17 November...
It's interesting to look at the old AFL (and NFL) games with the original blackout rules in
effect.
With Downtown Louisville only 98 miles from Cincinnati (102 from old Nippert Stadium,
where the Bengals first played, and Lexington even closer at 81/85 miles), WAVE-TV
and WLEX-TV were just outside the then 75-mile limit.
My cousins who lived in Cincinnati and Dayton (only 50 miles away and always blacked
out, too) found their way down here to "The Ville" each and every weekend the brandnew Bengals played at home...other die-hard fans rented motel rooms about 50-75 miles
south and southwest of Cincinnati, within the WAVE and WLEX coverage areas. I'm sure
Columbus (106 mi) and Indianapolis (108) saw some of these blackout beaters who
wanted to see WLWC and WLWI's NBC signals.
Did the networks compensate the blacked-out affiliates such as WLWT and WLWD for
lost potential viewership? After all, the Bengals were intended as a regional team and
were an ultra-hot ticket in a small stadium being used while Riverfront was being built...I
went to a few games, and selling out was NO problem-still, no local TV for 75 miles.
(Funny, most of these were AVCO/Crosley TV stations!)
There were many in the Greater Cincinnati area who could receive Louisville's WAVE,
Channel 3 then and over the years on their home TV's. In many parts of the areas, it
came in much better than WLW-C, Channel 4 in Columbus, Ohio or other NBC-TV
affiliates in the region.
...indeed, WFBM-TV/6 was the Indianapolis affiliate of NBC in '68...
Sorry...I misread my notes! Anyway, what about the blacked-out station issue...was it just
"sorry, you're out of luck" or was some sort of compensation afforded non-O&Os such as
WLWT in this era (e.g. cash, increased spot avails to the station)?

6-Dream House
This would have to be a typo; WBRC had its noon newscast well underway by
1969.
PS - Dream House was an interesting production. I've seen the one B/W
kinescope episode that's on the trade circuit, and it had what to me is the perfect theme
music for a game show parody .... a bizarre and haunting minor-key "think music" cue ...
and when contestants buzzed in to answer, the camera zoomed in on them with a jolting
speed. Would love it if more eps could be unearthed.
I believe this game's demise was brought on by allegations that zero of the houses won
on the show were ever completed ... construction issues, or whatever. I'm sure
(and hope) somebody else can further enlighten.
PS 2 - I find it VERY odd that Ch. 13 picked up the CBS Morning News at 8:30, after
"Cousin Cliff" packed up and moved his act to Anniston.

President Richard Nixon made his famous "silent majority" speech to the American
people regarding the Vietnam War that evening, so the prime time lineup didn;t excatly
go as planned. This was followed by network commentary, which prompted VicePresident Spiro Agnew to go on the attack. One week later, he spoke in Des Moines and
attacked the news media.

TV Guide ran an article in the summer of 1969 about the fact
that none of the houses won on "Dream House" had been completed.
The show offered a $40,000 (late-'60s dollars) home plus $7000 to
purchase land; several of the winning couples had to borrow more than
$7000 to buy land. The show changed its rules to allow winners to take
$20,000 in cash in lieu of the house, but the damage was done, and "All
My Children" replaced "Dream House" on January 5, 1970.
I think, IIRC, that WBRC had indeed started its noon newscast by this
time; I know that it never aired "All My Children" at 12 N (CT), and that
ABC33/40 finally put it--and now "The Chew"--in pattern around 2006.

The Channel 13 listing at 8:30 seemed a little bizarre to me, too. I was in 4th grade at
the time, and I don't remember what I would have watched on those days that we were
out of school.
Did Bill Bolen leave Channel 42 to go to Channel 6 about the time they started their
noon newscast? I vaguely remember someone from 42 doing a testimonial to him on his
last day at 42.

I notice that none of the three NBC stations listed showed "America Alive!" at
noon.....wow what a disaster.
Even Wikipedia has no "takers" on that show as yet.
I lived in Alaska at that time, and I doubt that it was shown there either, as it was a sort of
noontime "Today" show.

It was. This was a sweeps month, and "Rockford" was
much stronger than the regular 10 PM show, "The Eddie
Capra Mysteries."

Correction on "The Midnight Special": the guest list should
read, in part, AC/DC and REO Speedwagon. I think I accidentally
hit the "D" after "RE," and don't know why I put a slash after DC.

Bob Braun was too much of an institution in Cincinnati for WLWT to drop him; his show's
roots were in Ruth Lyons'
"50 Club" (later the "50/50 Club"), which dates back to radio in the '40s. He also had a
strong following throughout
the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana-West Virginia-Tennessee region, so he was attractive to
WLEX as well. Likewise, Mike
Douglas was too firmly entrenched on WAVE. And both Bob and Mike were worth more
in revenue to their stations
than a network show would be.
My two NBC affiliates at the time, WSB Atlanta and WFBC (now WYFF) Greenville, SC,
also passed on "America
Alive." Just as well; the show was both a ratings and critical disaster, with only host Jack
Linkletter being spared
the opprobrium of the critics.
At the other end of the scale is the syndicated-by-Group W "Everyday," which aired on
WLWT and WLKY. It was
a mix of features and comedy sketches; viewers decided they could do without the
comedy. Group W took it off,
then retooled it as "Hour Magazine," one of the most successful syndicated shows of the
'80s. Perhaps NBC could
have given "America Alive" more time to find a workable formula (also think ABC's
transition from "A.M. America" to
"Good Morning America" in 1975), but it was not to be. Within a year, the Peacock
Network was back to game shows
in the 12 N-1 PM timeslot.
Something about the Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati area that has always puzzled me is

how the CBS affiliates have
always played fast and loose with the soaps. In Louisville on this day, "Young And The
Restless" and "Search For
Tomorrow" air on delay; in Lexington, "Guiding Light" and "Search For Tomorrow" are out
of pattern, and in Cincinnati
"Love Of Life" and "Young And The Restless" aren't carried at all; "Search" is pre-empted
for the day but normally airs
at 1 instead of 12:30. And in 2012, "Y&R" airs at 4 PM in Louisville and 1 PM in
Lexington; "Bold And The Beautiful"
airs a day behind at 10:30 AM in Lexington.

Perhaps the major problem with "America Alive" was it's timeslot: 12 Noon to 1 P.M.
EDT/EST. As far back as 1978, many NBC stations on the East Coast broadcast local
news at 12 Noon ET.
If my memory serves me correct, the show was broadcast live from 12 Noon to 1 P.M.
ET, and that there was a "hard" station break at 12:28:50 EDT/EST, so the second halfhour began at 12:30:00 Eastern time.
I don't know if the show aired live on the West Coast from 9 to 10 A.M. Pacific, or was
shown on a delay later in the day. I would think far more NBC stations in the Eastern
time zone picked-up the 12:30 half-hour than the 12 Noon half hour.
As an example, then-NBC affiliate WBZ-4 never cleared either half-hour of "America

Alive" (WBZ had been programming local news at 12 Noon since around 1953); the
show aired here on independent WLVI-56. However, Providence's WJAR-10 did clear

Back then, the November "sweeps" included Thanksgiving and the weekend following.
Today, the November sweeps always end the night before Thanksgiving, possibly in
recognition of viewing patterns being disrupted by all those people traveling for the
Thanksgiving weekend (and I would also think that today, far more people travel for
Thanksgiving weekend than was the case in 1978 or earlier).

IMO, merely the fact that "America Alive" was a one-hour show, starting at noon EST,
was enough of a death knell as it was.
How NBC ever thought that stations would hop on for *that*....well, it's anybody's guess.
edit:
Having never viewed this thing, I suppose that Mr. Gallant's point of a hard break, so that
some stations aired just the last half-hour, *might* have worked, but wouldn't there be a
re-hashing of the top stories in that slot? You know, like, "For those of you who have just
joined us"---that might make sense, but for those markets who had it 30 minutes,
viewers would say "How could I have 'just joined' you? You just began!" And, for the 60min. markets, if they *did not* use that disclaimer, folks would say, "Why are they
repeating this?"
Well, you know what I mean.

P.S. To give you an idea about 12 noon for the network, in 1989, recently-purchased
WTVJ did not run "Super Password," the NBC 12 noon show. Who purchased WTVJ?
NBC itself!

That's something not confined to NBC. When WTVD became
an ABC o&o im 1985, it didn't carry "Ryan's Hope," although
WRAL did when it was Raleigh/Durham's ABC affiliate; "RH" also
aired at 12 N, when WTVD had and has local news.
Back to "America Alive": WRCB Chattanooga used to run the

first half-hour, followed by a local show, "Midday Live,"
at 12:30. And I don't know if NBC could have forced its affiliates
to take the whole hour; I imagine that a lot of those with local
news at noon would have rebelled.
While I think four hours is overkill, it seems to work for the "Today"
show, but that's 7-11 AM...still a better timeslot than "America Alive"
had.

Re: Retro: Carolina-Tennessee Saturday, November 27, 1971

Coming into the game, Alabama was 10-0-0 and ranked 4th in the both polls; Auburn
was 9-0-0 (they played a 10-game schedule that season) and ranked 5th in both polls. It
was the only time in Iron Bowl history that both teams entered the game undefeated and
untied; in '94 Alabama was 10-0-0, but Auburn was 9-0-1.
Sadly for me in '71 (I bleed orange and blue), Alabama won 31-7.

I shouldn't be surprised that no one has asked why the ABC
stations did their own thing at 8 PM that night: the access
rule. With a network show (the Kodak All-America team) at
7, ABC had to pre-empt Bobby Sherman's sitcom "Getting Together"
(no great loss since most sets were tuned to "All In The Family" anyway),
to get down to the mandatory three hours. Lawrence Welk usually aired
at 7 on Ch. 13, roller derby at 7 on Ch. 19, and wrestling at 7 on Ch. 26.
I remember a local program called "Inquiry" on Ch. 18, followed by a variety
of shows over the years at 7:30 ("Animal World" perhaps the most successful).

PTAR Year 1 (Was: Re: Retro: Carolina-Tennessee Saturday, November 27, 1971)
I believe there were two waivers to the Prime-Time Access Rule in the 1971-72 TV
season:
ABC got one on Tuesday nights to keep their popular 1970-71 Tuesday-night
lineup ("Mod Squad" at 7:30 ET; "Tuesday Movie Of The Week" at 8:30 ET and "Marcus
Welby, M.D." at 10 ET) intact; while NBC got the other to keep their popular Sundaynight lineup ("The Wonderful World Of Disney" at 7:30 P.M. ET, Jimmy Stewart at 8:30
ET, "Bonanza" at 9 ET, and "Bold Ones" at 10 ET) intact.
But to get those waivers, each of those networks had to only program two-and-a-half
hours of prime-time on one night a week.
ABC did not feed programming from 8:30 to 9 P.M. ET on Mondays (during the Fall of
1971, some ABC affiliates, like then-affiliate WNAC-7 here in Boston, used the half-hour
to do a local pre-game show for "NFL Monday Night Football" which would begin at 9);
likewise, NBC was "{dark" from 10:30 to 11 P.M,. ET/PT on Fridays.
The only exceptions to the rule in the early years were either:
(1) Live coverage of a special news event (whether pre-scheduled, like a political
convention or a moon walk; or a breaking news story of some sort), or
(2) Network evening newscasts could run from 7 to 7:30 P.M. ET/PT if a local affiliate
had broadcast a full hour local news show from 6 to 7 P.M. ET/PT.
ABC ran up against PTAR in 1972, when it wanted to broadcast three-and-a-half hours
of coverage of the 1972 Summer Olympics from 7:30 to 11 P.M. EDT each weeknight
during the Games. The FCC said "No", and as a result, ABC had to eliminate five hours
from what was to have been about 66 or so hours of coverage.
But by 1975, the FCC had eased the Prime Time Access Rule so that networks could
feed programs on Sunday nights from 7 to 8 P.M. ET/PT if one of those hours was either
a children's show, news, or public affairs. That's how "60 Minutes" got moved to it's
present 7 P.M. ET/PT slot at the beginning of 1976.
Also, by 1976, the FCC had reclassified the Olympics as a "news event", allowing ABC
to run three and a half hours of prime-time coverage (7:30-11 P.M. EDT) every night of
that year's Summer Games in Montreal, and for the same network to run five hours of
prime-time coverage each evening (7 P.M.-12 Midnight ET/PT; I believe it ran live from 49 P.M. local in Los Angeles) of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

All of that information is correct. However, TV Guide
does not indicate that the Kodak All-America Team show
was live; if, as I believe, it was taped, I'm not sure it would
count as an exception to PTAR (some of the names of players
picked to the team were mentioned, including Ed Marinaro,
Oklahoma's Greg Pruitt, and Alabama's Johnny Musso). And
since Chs. 13, 18, 19, and 26 would have normally carried
"Getting Together," I have to believe ABC pre-empted 8 PM
to satisfy the FCC.

Re: Retro: Philadelphia Wed, Nov 28, 1962
I noticed the name Pete Boyle, and according to Wikipedia he
was the father of Peter Boyle of "Everybody Loves Raymond."
In addition to hosting kids' shows he worked with Ernie Kovacs
on his "Three To Get Ready" morning show on Ch. 3.
One of the stations Pete Sr. worked for was Ch. 12, then known
as WVUE (now PBS affiliate WHYY). When he was there the station's
call letters were WVUE; ironic since the New Orleans station that has
those call letters today used to be on Ch. 12 (Ch. 13 before that, and
Ch. 8 since 1970).

I recall reading somewhere that the Buffalo VHF stations, especially 4 and 7, were hot
and heavy with the infomercials during the 1990s, especially in late-night.

Re: Cantinflas -- this was a Mexican import, "Cantinflas y Sus Amigos", starring Mexican
comedian and actor Cantinflas, known in the US as "Amigo and Friends". This series ran
on the Televisa channels for many years:

Didn't know that YTV carried any infomercials -- I always thought they left the air in late
night.

And IIRC their slogan at the time was "With the warmth and wonder of Disney"...the
station has always carried Disney programming ever since it launched.

I had a C-Band dish for a couple of years between 1997 and 1999; during this period, I
recall the CBC having CBC Montreal and two CBC North feeds -- one carrying
programming on Atlantic time with local news from Newfoundland, and another being the
CBC's Pacific feed with Vancouver news. (Both also had regional news and
informational programming for the north.) In addition, the CBC also had a couple of
transponders used for wild feeds and alternate feeds only. When I first got my dish in
1997, I also saw Radio-Canada (CBFT) and CBC Newsworld, but these ended around
1998 when they started digital service.

deals with networks and sponsors.

Re: Retro: New England - Sunday March 23, 1952
A few notes:
(1) I'm pretty sure the "Sunday News Special" at 11 P.M. on WNHC-6 New Haven was
actually produced by CBS News, and from 1951 until 1962 was anchored by a young
Walter Cronkite.
(2) "Prince Television Theatre" was likely sponsored by the pasta manufacturer of the
same name, which at the time was based in the Boston area (Lowell??). Prince gained
national notoriety in the 1970's for a spaghetti commercial where a North End (of
Boston) mother has finished making spaghetti and called out for her son "An-thony! Anthony!!" (I suspect this spot is somewhere on You Tube).
(3) While "Big Picture" did appear on ABC during this period, I believe it was also
simultaneously syndicated to local TV stations (the show would remain in first-run
syndication into the 1970's, when anti-Vietnam sentiment finally killed it), so while WBZ-4
had a secondary affiliation with ABC at the time, the show may have been from a film
print broadcast from the WBZ studios.
(4) I'm not 100% sure, but I thought the episodes of "Colgate Comedy Hour" co-hosted
by Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis (once monthly??) were generally the only times
"Colgate" out-drew Ed Sullivan in the ratings. Who knew when Dean and Jerry went their
separate ways in the mid-1950's that both of them would become much bigger stars as
"singles" than they ever were as a team??

With so many shows time shifted did the stations do their own kinescopes or did the
networks send kinescopes or films (in the case of filmed shows)?

To answer Maureen Carney's question, where kinescopes were made depended on how
soon the program was aired after the network fed it.
If network programs were shown by either WBZ-4 or WNAC-7 within a couple of days
after their live network broadcast, the stations themselves probably made the kinescope.
If the delay was longer than that, the network probably made the kinescope and airshipped it to Boston.
For programs on film, they'd be produced enough in advance that they could be shipped
to a station for broadcast the same day as the rest of the network (for affiliates not yet
connected to network lines in the early 1950's), or after the show appeared on the rest of
the network (for "interconnected" afffiliates).

that one.

I believe this was a Spanish dub of the 1949 film "Canadian Pacific", which starred
Randolph Scott and Jane Wyatt.

I find it funny that this ran on a pay channel in Los Angeles, as many other stations that
carried it at this time were regular stations. I know that WTVT in Tampa carried "Wayne
& Shuster" during the 1980-1981 season.

Did any of the Independent stations (in LA) break into their programs after NBC
announced the winner at 5:15PM PST (8:15PM EST) or sometime afterwords? Which
LA independent station broke in first with the Announcement of Reagan's Election?

Z Channel (pay TV)

noon Movie "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh"

El Lay (and the rest of America) was 10 years, 3 months, and 3 days away from this
cable "myth" being "debunked" on Feb. 7, 1991--which best described the Z Channel's
programming, especially at least one of the movies airing on Election Day '80:
"Myth: It's only fair to pay for quality first-run movies.

Fact: Most movies shown on cable get two stars or less
and are repeated ad nauseum.
Hmm I don't know." ;D ;D ;D
Courtesy of Season 2, Episode 7F13 of the Simpsons ("Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th
Commandment"), as read aloud by Marge Simpson:
http://www.snpp.com/episodes/7F13.html
BTW, did Z Channel also have the rights to the other hoops masterpiece "Fast Break"
(1979) around that time? ;D ;D ;D

Anyone know if Channel 52 broke into their late movie to report Reagan had won the
election? ;D
I do not think they did. I do not think any station not offering news broke into
programming. If so I would be surprised. Plus Channel 52 was scrambled when Reagn
was declared the winner - Actually not quite - that happened before 9 PM eastern time so it was before 6 PM there so they were not yet scrambled.
Also could you give us one more weekday from LA on this week in 1980? to reflect full
local lineups.
Thanks

"10:00 Sing Along with Mitch (c/letters are the topic this week...I see Bob McGrath listed
as one of the soloists, is this the one from Sesame Street?)"
Yes, it is.
He made his national TV debut with Mitch Miller in 1959, was with Mitch throughout his
NBC run (they stayed close friends until Miller passed in 2010)...then became a
recording artist of some note, singing traditional Irish ballads (at one point in the 60s he
was one of the biggest sellers in Japan). He joined the Children's Television Workshop
for the premiere of Sesame Street in 1969 and has been a part of the show ever since.
He's one of the two longest running human characters on the show (Susan, played by
Loretta Long, is the other).
Had a chance to meet him and interview him. He's a very kindly, gentle and genuine
man who in real life is much like the character he portrays on television. Bellieve it or
not, he celebrated his 80th birthday this past summer.

The Greenville Christmas Parade may have been a pooled simulcast among the stations
in the market with one anchor (Bill Krieger) on all stations carrying the event.
Also, "Bob Hope's Chrysler Theatre" was an NBC show, so I found it odd that WSOC-9
(the primary NBC affiliate) would pass on it, which allowed WBTV-3 to pick it up.

WAIM 40-ABC/CBS Anderson

...as I recall, Ford's daytime show originated from the facilities of KGO-TV/7 San
Francisco; Pittsburg is a suburb of San Francisco, making it easy for the Pop Warner
team to make the trip to the studio. Ford was born in Bristol, Tennessee, which would
have made it very strange if WCYB-TV/5 had rejected the show ;D ...
At the time Ernie had the largest number of clearances of any

ABC daytime show (about 150 stations, IIRC), even more than
such longtime hits as "Queen For A Day" and "Who Do You Trust?".
Ernie orginated the show in San Francisco because he had moved

to Carmel and didn't want to go back and forth to Los Angeles.
At the time only ABC had facilities (KGO) where he could tape his
show, so he moved it from NBC to ABC.
And BTW, the state line between Tennessee and Virginia runs down
the middle of Main Street in Bristol; Ernie was born on the Tennessee
side, otherwise he might have become "Virginia Ernie Ford."

7:00 Wyatt Earp "The Assassins"

Even though this is syndicated Wyatt Earp, I wonder if this particular episode was
bumped or delayed--considering the event in Dallas 10 days earlier that would have still
been very fresh in everyone's minds at the time of this schedule.
And while on that subject--anyone know what the main stories of the network newscasts
would have been by Dec. 2; i.e., could there have been more JFK assassination
aftermath stories featured on the news 10 days after that tragic Nov. 22?

...well, at the very least, there was the lingering trauma caused by the assassination, if
not further details about it. Walter Cronkite later claimed that he personally scheduled
the Alexander Kendrick report about The Beatles (that had already been aired on the
CBS Morning News with Mike Wallace of November 22nd, a few hours before the
assassination) for the CBS Evening News of December 10th because he felt it was
finally time for some lighter pieces to run...

Bob used to host one of our telethons in Vancouver, and sometimes he would bring on to
the stage Big Bird's "Canadian Cousin".

Sure they weren't just airing educational programming during these times (and before 11
AM)?
That's what I'm wondering....the listings said "Sign-Off" for 11:30 and 2:00 ???

9:00 (15) Donahue
9:00 (43) 700 Club
11:30 Love of Life
Just so we're clear: Channel 43 aired 2 1/2 hours of "700 Club," even preempting "The
Price Is Right"?
That's what the listings said...I suspect that may be a typo...
As noted on another thread in this messageboard, quite a few NBC stations (including
the ones in Baltimore and Philadelphia) refused to clear "America Alive". In Philadelphia,
it was cleared on independent WPHL-17, while it appears that the show wasn't
broadcast at all in Baltimore (however, Baltimore is close enough to Washington that
those who really wanted to see "America Alive", however few that number was, could
have done so over Washington's NBC O&O WRC-4).

After checking the listings again, I can now confirm that 43 did air Barker at 10:30am.
The Sunday News' listings resembled the TVG metro editions, where local channels
were listed first with out-of-market channels listed second (and Philly's 12 and
Baltimore's 45 weren't mentioned in the Channels Listed box).

WKBS TV 48 had acquired I Love Lucy that fall - the 930 showing was actually I Love
Lucy while the 1 PM showing remained Lucy Show. I Love Lucy eventually went to
evenings and then the 10 PM hour. I also swear Channel 17 signed on 630 AM by the
fall of 1978. Channel 48 had began 630 sign ons that fall (48 was back and forth from
1974 to 78 with 630 and 7 AM signons in the fall and winter with 10 AM sign ons in
Sporing and SUmmer - As was Channel 29 until fall of 77 when they stayed with 7 AM
and earlier sign ons from then on)

Baltimore NFL Start Times (Was: Re: Retro: Eastern Washington Sun, Dec 3, 1967)
During the late 1960's and most of the 1970's, the old Baltimore Colts' home games
always started at 2:05 P.M. EST/EDT (I believe it was due to Blue Laws in Baltimore).
Thus, when a TV network carried an NFL doubleheader and the Baltimore Colts were in
the early game, the late (4:05 P.M. EST/EDT) game would be joined in progress
(midway through the second quarter) on those stations that had carried the Baltimore
game.
In the case of the TV listings for Eastern Washington State for December 3rd, 1967 from
TV Guide, the Baltimore game started at 11:05 A.M. PT; other "early" NFL games would
be seen on the West Coast at 10:05 A.M. PT.

This was the special that launched the Chipmunks back into popularity -- a couple of

directed the special, though Chuck Jones was listed as a consultant and character
designer.

Thanks! I checked several editions of The Spokesman-Review from around that date,
and none of them had KSPS listed at 5:30. Must have been an oversight on their part.
There's no Sunday edition "TV Week" currently available for that week, either. And the
Spokane Daily Chronicle only listed from 6 pm (though their listings were more detailed
during than those in the S-R this period).
Whomever compiled these old papers for archival purposes sure didn't make it easy to
be a nerd.

Kinda like the same way "The Simpsons" got their start - except Bart didn't have his

Re: Retro: Central Pennsylvania Mon, Dec 5, 1966
I think you mean NBC News at 4:25 on Ch. 3. I know KYW is
a CBS o&o today, but you correctly stated that CBS's newscast
aired at 3:25 on Ch. 10 ("Secret Storm" was on 4-4:30).
KYW's daytime schedule always reminded me of WSB's when both

were with NBC, particularly the noon news followed by a talk show
from 12:30-2 (Ch. 2 didn't have a late-afternoon talk show). I also
notice the name Lou Davis and wonder if he went to Atlanta, because
I remember that name on WSB.

Re: Retro: Southern California Sat, Dec 5, 1959
Two notes:
(1) "Lawrence Welk" back then was being done live from 6 to 7 P.M. Pacific time, and the
show apparently was live across the entire ABC network (outside of those stations that
aired it on a delay). Here on the East Coast, it aired from 9 to 10 P.M. EST?EDT.
I wonder why the show was not delayed on the West Coast until 9 P.M. PST/PDT. Maybe
Welk and his Champagne Music Makers, after finishing up their live TV show at 7 P.M.
PT, performed at a ballroom or nightclub in the Los Angeles area later that evening and
didn't want their TV show to be delayed to 9 P.M. PT and conflict with their live
performance.
(2) Was Jay Stewart of KTTV-11's "Town Hall Party" the same Jay Stewart who was
Monty Hall's announcer/sidekick on "Let's Make A Deal" from it's debut in late 1963
through the 1980/1981 syndicated version??

..."Lawrence Welk" back then was being done live from 6 to 7 P.M. Pacific time...
What did ABC do back in the late '50s during October as far as the left coast air time of
Welk?
Was the show done from 5-6 PM PST, in order to air 9-10 PM EDT?
(This was when many markets stayed on DST until the end of October, but where Cali
went
back to standard time at the end of September. They didn't extend it to the end of
October
until 1962.)

Welk and the boys played the Aragon Ballroom until it was torn down;
after that they played the Hollywood Palladium (JFK got use of that
facility one Saturday night in October 1961 in order to defend his policies
on Cuba--a year before the missile crisis).
Jerry Lewis also did his short-lived ABC Saturday-night show live at
6:30 PT in order to air in the East at 9:30 (Welk was pushed back to
8:30 ET to accommodate him).

If only Fran Allison guest-starred with them.........and if this episode were preserved in
color (even without Fran)!
A DVD release of this episode would be something baby-boomers might want to get!

By 1960, a lot of TV stations had videotape machines, so it's possible that WAVE-3
Louisville's broadcast of Lawrence Welk might have been on a 90-minute delay (I
believe the show was fed live to the Eastern and Central time zones then). WAVE could
have taped the live feed from 8 to 9 P.M. CST, and played the tape back at 9:30 CST.
The half-hour between the end of the live show and the start of WAVE's showing it
certainly would be more than enough time to rewind and cue-up the tape for playback.

Looking at these old Kentucky listings, it's never been clear to me
why WAVE carried Lawrence Welk for only 30 minutes; I'd think he'd
have been popular enough to warrant the full hour. At any rate, once
WLKY came on the air, Welk aired for an hour and in pattern (except
there was one brief period in 1970, just before the end of the ABC run,
when WLKY aired him on a one-week delay at 6:30 and substituted movies
at 8:30; that didn't work, and when ABC rearranged its Saturday-night
schedule in January 1971 it was Welk at 7:30, Pearl Bailey at 8:30, and
Johnny Cash (moved from Wednesday back to his original timeslot, as several
other ABC affiliates did) at 9:30.
We could probably start a whole thread on stations that did move Cash back
to Saturday when ABC gave back 9:30-10:30 (it had already given back 10:30-11).
A few I can name, besides WLKY:
WRAL Raleigh
WQXI (WXIA) Atlanta
WTVC Chattanooga
WFTV Orlando
WXEX (WRIC) Petersburg-Richmond
Retro: This Week in TV Guide, November 30, 1963 - Kansas City Edition
This was the week following President Kennedy's funeral, and as such, schedules were
in flux. Case in point: two listings for the Army-Navy game - one for the originally
scheduled date, November 30, another for the date the game was actually played,
December 7. The listings are similar, but for one striking difference.
Elsewhere, a profile of the angry George C. Scott, the start of the Christmas specials
season, and more. As always your comments, positive or negative, are appreciated.

Re: Retro: This Week in TV Guide, November 30, 1963 - Kansas City Edition
One historical footnote here - This was only a week (8 days to be exact) after the JFK
Assassination (Which took place by all historical accounts on a FRIDAY). Given this,
November 30th would've had to be on a SATURDAY instead. Are you sure this isn't the
listing for November 29 as opposed to November 30th ???
Just wonderin'.....

Policing "the world's largest free party." Sgt. Billie Roth calls it "a controlled riot." For "a
million people walking down the street drinking," it's Mardi Gras 1990. But for the New
Orleans Police Departments, it's almost two weeks of 15-18 hour shifts of trying to keep
peace. With public drunkenness a given, officers are kept busy breaking up and trying to
prevent fights, keeping an eye out for pickpockets and stopping people from hurting
themselves. "We're probably the nicest police in the U.S.," says Off. Desiree Gaudet,
whose personal police blotter on one shift includes stopping a man who is "just playing"
with a stun gun, and helping to break up a fight. This, she says, is "the calm before the
storm." When the storm gets heavy, the Mounted Patrol is called upon to keep French
Quarter streets moving. Frequently they're clogged, and in one sequence Gaudet and
partner David Morel must gently reprimand a well-endowed woman whose balcony
flashing has created a logjam that has pickpockets salivating on the street below.

How is it that KOMO 4 (ABC) got an NFL game if this was a Sunday Afternoon?
Something tells me that ain't right.....
Cheers & 73
Um, uh...it was Saturday.

Even with my mistake, I thought ABC only had Monday Night rights, no?
Cheers & 73
Regarding the listing of "Big Valley" at 12 Midnight on KSTW-11 as being in black-andwhite:
Maybe the pilot was shot in black-and-white and KSTW was broadcasting it that night.
A few filmed shows that premiered in the fall of 1965 (like "Hogan's Heroes" and "Get
Smart!") had black-and-white pilots but the rest of the episodes were in color. Maybe
"Big Valley" did, too.

As a commercial TV station, KTVW channel 13 had carried wrestling. When the Clover
Park School District bought the station, they tried carrying wrestling for a while as an
experiment to bring new viewers to public TV. Apparently, it didn't work, as I don't recall
the wrestling staying around for much more than a year or so.

Maybe...but probably not. KSTW did carry both "Hogan's Heroes" and "Get Smart"
syndicated packages at various times in the seventies, and never did air the black and
white pilots for either of those shows. That being the case, my guess is that they would
not have bothered to broadcast the black and white pilot of "Big Valley", either.

Candy Morrison, a caring and reserved wife and mother who is shocked by the brutal ax
murder of a neighboring woman. The ensuring investigation, however, appears to
implicate Candy and sheds a different light on her personality, which is further revealed
under hypnosis, in courtroom testimony and in violent recreation of the crime that caps

Sioux City would be 3 years, 3 months and 8 days away from becoming the first "Late
Show with David Letterman" home office when KMEG-14 passed on Dave's first CBS
season due to the station's claim that two of the above shows (Cheers and Star Trek)
which were still on their late-night schedule in summer 1993 brought better local ratings
than the likes of "Tonight Show" (after Jay Leno's first year) and Nightline. IMO certainly
there was no excuse why the station could have brought back a similar scheduling
pattern and have Dave at 11, then Star Trek at midnight again (by 1993 it had become a
back-to-back combo of Cheers at 10:30 and the Starship Enterprise at 11). I remember
seeing a Sioux City Journal article about KMEG's decision to pass on Letterman when
my family was staying overnight there on the way home from a Black Hills vacation that
summer.
Also, the Nebraska edition would be the home TVG edition for Wahoo, NE--another one
of Dave's Late Show home offices. ;D

SATELLITES AND THEIR ORIGINATING STATIONS
For programs on 8 Martin, 10 Pierre, 11 Lowry, 13 Eagle Butte and 16 Aberdeen, S.D.
see KUSD 2.
On 11 Grand Island (KGIN), see KOLN 10.
On 3 Garden City (KDLO) and 6 Reliance (KPLO), see KELO 11.
On 3 Lexington (KLNE), 7 Bassett (KMNE), 9 North Platte (KPNE?), 12 Merriman
(KRNE), 13 Alliance (KTNE), 19 Norfolk (forgot calls) and 29 Hastings (KHNE), see 12
KUON.
On 4 Superior (KSNB) and 6 Hayes Center (KWNB), see KHGI 13.
On 4 Pierre (KPRY) and 9 Aberdeen (KABY), see KSFY 13.

On 36 Red Oak IA, see 32 KBIN.
-crainbebo
Do you have that edition's "Satellites and Originating Stations" roster? The only ones
OTOH would be the 11 half of the KOLN/KGIN "10/11" simulcast in Grand Island, the
NET stations, and IIRC a channel 4 in Superior, NE.
Although listed separately, 8a KCAN Albion NE was a satellite of 9 KCAU Sioux City.
17 KTTW was running some religious programming during the day from some religious
net, I think FamilyNet. This was gradually reduced as they picked up more conventional
syndicated fare.

Re: Retro: Nebraska, Tue. May 22nd, 1990
So at first KTTW seemed to be a bit crummy on programming. No sign of daytime syndi
programs, but they did have Arsenio and Star Trek on the weekend.
Channel 8 used to be KCNA in Albion, and was NTV. Then it went indie as KBGT, and
24/7 for a short time. Financial losses caused it to switch to a KCAU satellite (why
couldn't they just take KETV and make it a satellite? Isn't Omaha closer to Albion?),
before moving to Lincoln and becoming KLKN in 1996.
-crainbebo
And P.S.-when did KMEG ever get news?
KCAU bought KBGT for not very much (I'm thinking less then $2-million.) and originally
did have a little bit of separate programming, but that ended quickly. I think KCAU saw it
as a way to raise their national spot rates with the second signal. Later, they figured out
it could be moved to Lincoln.
KMEG had news when they first went on the air in the late 60s, but dropped it in the mid70s. They continued with a few one minute updates per day for a few years after that.
Sometime in the 90s, they added five-minute weather at 6 & 10pm. Somewhere around
2000, they put in a full-fledged news department.
I don't think KMEG has been very successful with local news. Last time I saw any ratings
(at least a couple of years ago) KTIV had about twice the news audience as KCAU and
KMEG combined.

Re: Retro: Seattle/Bellingham Sun, Dec 12, 1976
KIRO 7 ran Conservative Evangelical TV shows like Oral Roberts Sunday Morning????
HARD TO BELIEVE - BUT THEY DID...Why am I so surprised???? KIRO was owned by
Bonneville International which is a Mormon owned company. These evangelists call
Mormonism a non Christian cult. By bothe Catholic and Protestant standards Mormons
are not Christians but a comparative religion. Why would Mormons sell time to any
Christian group??? Yes they make money but I would think religious beliefs would take
precedence. They could have just run the hour of CBS Children's shows reruns and the
non religious CBS show Camera Three but still preempting the 2 Catholic CBS Shows
Lamp and Look Up & Live.
By the way WWL TV was Catholic owned by Loyola University till the late 80's. WWL TV,
while running Sunday mass and another Catholic show, also sold time to Oral Roberts
(who was not anti Catholic and affirmed Catholics as Christians), Marvin Gorman, and
Jimmy Swaggart (who is more anti Catholic today than he was back then - though he
had come publicly against Catholicism back then as well). I still cannot understand why a
Catholic owned TV station would sell time to a religious organization that contradicts
their beliefs. I believe WWL TV was run as a business and ran plenty of stuff Catholicism
disagrees with from both the right (Fundamentalists Christians) and from the Left
(humanists and relativists). So by right by the book Catholic standards even CBS
programming at times would be a contradiction. Just my thoughts -
By the way - I prefer the schedules listing the stations individually rather than the TV
listings style...But both are okay

Re: Retro: Vermont Fri, Dec 12, 1958
Two notes:
(1) "Cavalcade Of Sports" that week carried bowling. Almpost always, the show carried
live professional boxing matches, often from Madison Square Garden in New York City.
(2) Neither of the NBC affiliates listed in Vermont Video Guide carried Jack Paar's
"Tonight Show", which was broadcast from 11:15 P.M. to 1 A.M.
To save line charges, could NBC have not fed Paar to some smaller affiliates?? I could
understand WPTZ-5 not getting the show for that reason, but Albany/Schenectady was a
much bigger market. Or was WRGB offered Paar but passed, and another station in the
market ran the show instead?? In Boston, the old WHDH-5 and not then-NBC station
WBZ-4 carried Paar from November, 1957 (when the station went on the air; prior to
that, Paar was not seen on any Boston station) until he left and in fact carried Johnny
Carson until September, 1966.

been affiliated with Global since 2001; Rogers bought Cable Atlantic around the time
Danny Williams entered politics.

WSBK-38 Boston (Was: Re: Retro: Newfoundland (Sunday, December 10, 1995)
WSBK-38 used to be very prevalent on cable systems in Canada because it carried the
Boston Bruins from 1967-68 through 2001-2002 (and later broadcast games of the
Boston Red Sox and Boston Celtics as well).
From 1969-70 until 1983-84, the station would carry at least 60 regular-season Bruins'
games a year (about three-fourths of the team's schedule), often more.
In the 1970-71, 1971-72, 1972-73, 1973-74, 1981-81, 1982-83, and 1983-84 seasons,
WSBK carried about 70 Bruins' regular-season games each year. During those seven
seasons, it was rare that a Bruins' game would not be televised.
WSBK also carried at least 95 Red Sox regular-season games a year from 1975 through
1983; in most of those years, over 100 regular-season games would be covered by
WSBK. There were a couple of years in the early 1980's when WSBK carried around
120 of the Sox' 162 regular-season games (basically, all but a handful of the away
games and about half the home games)
In 1984, the number of games of the Bruins and Red Sox was reduced with the
formation of the New England Sports Network (NESN), which WSBK was once a partowner of. From 1984 through 2000 with the Bruins, and 1984 through 1995 with the Red
Sox, WSBK and NESN each split the two teams' schedules (apart from national
telecasts) about equally.
For the Bruins after 1984, WSBK did mostly away games (with a handful of home
games) while NESN did mostly home games (with a handful of away games). For the
Red Sox, WSBK generally did Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, while NESN did most
of the games during the week.
During the final two years the Bruins were on WSBK, only about 25 regular-season
games (usually Saturdays, whether home or away) were on that station with NESN
getting the rest (apart from national telecasts).

Re: Retro: Newfoundland (Sunday, December 10, 1995)
Funny you mentioned the Bruins, for I have a set of listings for December 13 currently in
progress and I expect to have that up in a couple of days.
It's interesting to note that outside of WJBK 2 & WWJ 62, all the Detroit stations were
carried in New Foundland EVEN THOUGH it's nowhere near Detroit (Let alone Toledo,
OH). You would think the Boston stations would've been there all along. Puzzling.....
Cheers & 73
Boston stations were still another year away...the cableco where I live, EastLink, started
carrying ABC/CBS/NBC/PBS from Beantown in late August '96. The Motown stations
were bird-fed to Nfld through CANCOM...

Re: Retro: Northern Alabama Saturday, December 8, 1973
3:30 Nat Tate (don't know who he is, time approximate)

bp, a quickie for ya. Tate hosted the de facto local version of Soul Train on Saturdays on
WMSL. The show consisted of black high-school students dancing to the latest soul/R&B
hits. As far as can be determined, this was the first instance of a local TV show in North
Alabama being hosted by an African-American.
The show ran until about 1974, after which Tate, a disc jockey (probably on the
pioneering WEUP radio, Alabama's first-ever black-owned radio station) went into
business ventures and, in later years, the Baptist ministry. Tate died in 2007, a resident
of nearby Decatur, Alabama. 1974 was also the year WMSL-TV changed hands from
local ownership to a Vermont-based company, so I suspect that was the reason for the
show's cancellation. The Vermont group would also later dump the station's most
famous local program, Benny Carle's children's show on weekday mornings (Carle hung
on for a couple of years as station GM before going into business for himself as a radio
station owner in Florence, Alabama).
In general, channel 48 never had much luck in the 1970s against NBC affil WAAY and
CBS station WHNT, in part because it was a transplant from Decatur, from where it
broadcast on channel 23 from 1954 until 1969. It was not until AFLAC bought the station
in the late 1970s, the station lost its mountaintop building in a 1982 fire, and NBC's
(which it joined in 1977) ratings resurgence in the 1980s that channel 48 became a force
in the Huntsville-Decatur-Florence market. Also helping was the decision of the owners
of Florence's WOWL in the late 1990s to get out of the business and ceded NBC entirely
to WAFF for the entire region, including northwestern Alabama.

I believe that when that Vermont company bought Ch. 48 it changed
the call letters to WYUR.
Nat Tate's show sounds like "Teenage Frolics," which aired for probably
two decades on WRAL and was hosted by an African-American, J.D. Lewis.
In fact, the last time I saw the show, in 1978, it had a set that was almost
identical to that of "Soul Train." Strangely enough, in the Raleigh-Durham
market "Soul Train" aired on WTVD, while "Teenage Frolics" usually ran just
before or just after "American Bandstand."

What I found most amusing about "Emergency" was that co-star Julie London was at the
time married to Bobby Troup (who also starred on the show) and that the show's
producer was none other than London's ex-husband, Jack Webb!

It was the "Body Language" episode.
In response to Joseph Gallant, amazingly or not, Bobby Troup, Julie London, and
Jack Webb seemed to get along just fine, considering Julie had been married to
both men (or more accurately, was married to Bobby Troup and was Jack Webb's
ex-wife).

...Troup had been cast by Webb in episodes of both Dragnet 1967 and Adam-12 before
cranking up production on Emergency! London never appeared on either version of
Dragnet and the only episode of Adam-12 she was seen on was a joint storyline with the
same week's Emergency! in October 1973...

Perhaps the strangest local production in the region. On the surface, not much to it:
Earline [last name: ???] was a local piano teacher who hosted this weekly 15-minute
program, where she dressed up in little girl doll clothes and told childrens' stories.
It was a longtime fixture on Ch. 15, going back to its earliest days. HOWEVER, it's
mentioned in Tim Hollis' early 2000s book on childrens' TV hosts that Earline's act was
anything but. "Doll clothes" and little-girl voice mannerisms made up this middle-aged
woman's personality in her everyday life.
--Russell
Her last name was Burns, according to a Wikipedia site which

talks about her receiving an award on Ch. 15's local news (I
didn't look to see what year it was but it must have been the
early to mid-'70s since it was the 15th anniversary of "Earline
In Storyland"). She had worked in local radio prior to this show.
Another Wikipedia site mentions her dancing with bears (humans in
costume, no doubt) on her show.

^^Why did you capitalize the entire word "however", Russell W.? It may distract readers
and give them the idea you wanted shout "however".

10:30 Tribute To Jim Croce

...I know that Jim Croce and Maury Muehleisen had taped an installment of Made in
Chicago at WTTW/11 Chicago before their fatal plane crash that September. By the
following September, Made in Chicago had been renamed Soundstage and was much
more widely distributed to PBS stations. I'm wondering if this program was in fact taken
from that Made in Chicago taping and WTTW used this as a sort of pilot for Soundstage
on a national basis?...
I don't doubt anything that might have happened on that program. ;D
Just think: had Channel 15's studios been located out in the boonies, and contained
animal stalls in the back (as WTVY Ch. 4 in Dothan, Ala. had at their original studio
site ... used for a weekend farm show), the opportunity could have existed for Earline to
dance with real bears. ;-D

Around the late-1990s, it would switch to CBAFT Moncton, after that station became
available via satellite.

5:05: Leeza (if a network show, delayed from previous day 11:00 am)
At the time it was an NBC show, though affiliates practically showed the program
anytime they wished.

7:00: The Price is Right (badly chopped-up half-hour slot for NTV, and day-ahead of
CBS)
I believe NTV has shown a hacked-up version of the daytime TPIR for many years, at
least after it expanded to an hour program in 1975. The edited version usually consisted
of only a couple of pricing games and the Showcase.

11:30: Donahue (his final season; in earlier years, it was produced at WGN in Chicago)
By then, it was taped in New York; during that season, his former host station in the Big
Apple, WNBC, dropped the show, practically calling the death knell for the long-time
program.

6:00: Dial-A-Date
All infomercials.

7:30: CHCH News
I believe the 5:30 PM ET (7PM NT) telecast was "Canada Tonight" and originated from
Vancouver, with Tony Parsons as anchor.

4:30: (1PM MT / 12 Noon PT) Days of Our Lives (most likely day-ahead of NBC)
7:30: (4PM MT / 3PM PT) The Young and the Restless (day-ahead of CBS)
I believe one of both of these may be day-of, perhaps to simsub over the Spokane
stations back in Alberta.

Re: Retro: Newfoundland (Wednesday, December 13, 1995)
CBFJ was relaying CBFT Montreal at the time, but switched its parent to CBAFT
Moncton in 2010 (this also applies to CBFNT, the SRC transmitter at Port-au-Port on the
West Coast). Weather maps on the regional Telejournal show the island of
Newfoundland (the Labrador tx relay CBFT) as well as St-Pierre-et-Miquelon, where Le
Telejournal Acadie is shown late-night (and France O SPM has a news supply
agreement with SRC Acadie).

Re: Retro: Newfoundland (Wednesday, December 13, 1995)
Weather maps on the [CBAFT] Telejournal show the island of Newfoundland (the
Labrador tx relay CBFT) as well as St-Pierre-et-Miquelon, where Le Telejournal Acadie is
shown late-night (and France O SPM has a news supply agreement with SRC Acadie).
The station in SPM is actually "St-Pierre-et-Miquelon 1re", which is part of the chain of
Outre-Mer 1re outlets serving France's overseas territories. "France " is actually a
specialty channel featuring the best of French overseas programming to viewers in other
French territories, as well as Metropolitan France (the part that's in Europe); that channel
also carries CBAFT's Telejournal program worldwide.

Re: Retro: Ottawa Sun, Dec 25, 1999
Don't you mean Saturday December 25th.? In 1999, Christmas fell on a Saturday. By the
way, can you possibly put together a listing for the Millenium itself?

Yep, it was on a Saturday...don't know where I got Sunday from . I have Dec 31, 1999
listings, but from Ireland (my Ottawa supplement covers the 19th to the 25th). I'm
planning to post the Irish (including Northern Ireland) listings for 12/31/99 early next
week to compare what ran here as compared to across the pond.

Retro: This Week in TV Guide, December 16, 1967 - MN State Edition

The week before Christmas starts with a flock of Christmas specials, a pair of Truman
Capote adaptations, the Baltimore Colts' bid for an undefeated season, and another
edition of Sullivan vs. The Palace. CBS presents an interview with Secretary of State
Rusk and Secretary of Defense McNamara on Vietnam. There's a profile of Ed
McMahon, and the humorist H. Allen Smith writes about people who don't watch TV.
Fortunately for us, he's against them.

That version of "The Jazz Singer" on Ch. 9 had to have been the
1953 one with Danny Thomas in the role made famous by Al Jolson.
There was yet another remake, 1976 (I believe), with Neil Diamond.

Sorry to spoil the party, but I have a couple of corrections for you:
1) KGLO-TV's location was not specified, and it was not a Twin Cities station. It was then
the CBS affil for northern Iowa and extreme southern Minnesota, licensed to Mason City,
Iowa, but serving mainly the Rochester/Austin market. Today the station is KIMT, still
with CBS but on digital 42 (PSIP 3)
2) The "NBC News" was actually "The Frank McGee Report," which was a full-length
half-hour (sometimes a full hour) documentary seen on Saturdays and Sundays at the
usual news hour on most NBC affils, a la "60 Minutes." Although NBC had tried a
Saturday evening bulletin with Robert MacNeil and Ray Scherer anchoring in the early
1960s, NBC gave up on that for a few years in favor of McGee's program, which did not
include, AFAIK, a normal newscast therein. It was not until January 1969 that the
Peacock channel re-entered the weekend newscast game, with a Saturday version of
"Huntley-Brinkley Report," that for a short time had Chet and David alternate weeks
doing solo, until NBC decided, due to low ratings and station clearances, instead to have
second-stringers like McGee at the 30 Rock desk, apparently keeping the "HBR" name,
though. In short, NBC was very much in flux during this period about weekend news,
largely because of the changing developments regarding Vietnam and civil disturbances
at home.

Of course you're right about KGLO. In fact, in past "This Week" listings I've probably
mentioned its location. This time the cut-and-paste failed!

at home.
Don't have the issue in front of me right now, so I don't know how it was listed at the
time. This is good info. McGee was very good on NBC, and I always enjoyed watching
him. I've always thought he showed a professionalism during the JFK assassination
coverage that was sorely needed, and his coverage of the space program was informing
without being overly technical.
It's quite interesting, don't you think, that Huntley and Brinkley were on Saturdays, even
if they weren't on at the same time? Unthinkable today that any of the major anchors
would do Saturday news. I wonder to what extent this can be seen as an extension of
the old 5 1/2 day work week, where people often worked a half day on Saturday? I don't
mean that Chet and David had to do that, just the idea that it would be understandable
that Saturday wasn't quite as separated from the rest of the week as it is today.

Mitchell H:
I suspect that on Saturdays, either Huntley or Brinkley was live and the other probably
had a taped piece included during the half-hour as well as taping their part of the
opening ("I'm Chet Huntley, NBC News, New York/And I'm David Brinkley, NBC News, in
Washington") and closing ("Good night, David"/"Good Night Chet, and Good Night For
NBC News").

The California Seals (later Golden Seals) were based in Oakland, and struggled for fan
support during the nine years they were out there, even though for much of that time,
they were owned by one Charles O. Finley, whose baseball team (the Oakland Athletics)
won three consecutive World Series during the time he also owned the Seals.
Fifteen years after the Seals left, hockey returned to the Bay Area down in San Jose
(San Jose Sharks), and the Sharks have been extremely successful at the gate and
have built a large fan base. It also helps that they have gone deep into the playoffs,
whereas the Seals never did.

Interesting that the one Independent station, KTCN 11, doesn't sign on till 9am and is off
the air by the time the hockey game is over, around 1am. Not very good service. By
1967, most Independent stations, especially on VHF and in a large city, were on the air
the same hours as the network affiliates.
Only a couple of shows are in color. And it's a pretty boring line-up.
Lunch with Casey I think ran Mon-Sat. and I suppose was cartoons and some chatter
with a host named Casey. That's good. But KTCN fills the morning with pretty low-rate
movies. OK, maybe Independent stations used to do that on Saturday mornings, but not
a three-hour double feature. There's only one off-network show I recognize, Laramie. No
off-network sitcoms. No Burns & Allen or Groucho or Honeymooners or My Little Margie.
No other off-network dramas, no Rifleman, no Sea Hunt, no Highway Patrol.
I guess in Minneapolis, if you're an indie, you do an hour of polkas on Sat. afternoon.

And kudos for doing a weekend half hour of news at 9:30. But you put your agriculture
show on at 9am, not 6 or 7am? And you don't have anything to follow the hockey game
on a Saturday night? By 1967, a few stations around the country were on the air almost
around the clock. In a market the size of Minneapolis, someone would stay on till 4 or
5am on Fridays and Saturdays. But not KTCN. Early to bed, late to rise.

Oh, yes. NBC decided at first not to go the route of CBS, which started up its weekend
bulletins circa 1966 or so with Roger Mudd at the desk. I am sure having Huntley and/or
Brinkley on Saturdays was a ploy more than anything else to get stations to clear the
program, something that "Frank McGee Report" wasn't doing too well, apparently (I don't
have a lot of TVG copies from that period, so I can't say for certain--sorry to also say I
haven't closely at some of the retros posted here to find out about what stations cleared
it).
And, yes, a greater amount of the public worked, not only office jobs on Saturday, but
other occupations, especially farming and building trades, on Saturdays too. So, in many
respects, life in the home was much the same for adults as on the weekdays--only
Sundays were different in much of Middle America, with church and family activities (and
NOT shopping and restaurant-going, unlike today) taking center stage then, with the only
daytime viewers on that day of the week being mainly sports fans. Sure, on Saturdays
by that point, you had kiddie cartoons in the mornings because of no school and ball
games in the afternoons for the men who got through with their work in time, but
otherwise, what surprises me is that it took the networks so long (and local stations even
longer) to pick up on the fact that the husbands and fathers of America were just as
interested in news early Saturday evening as they were Monday through Friday.
As I stated earlier, I believe that Vietnam was the watershed moment for network execs
to realize that they needed weekend evening newscasts also, with NBC making the first
attempt during the Kennedy administration, and CBS subsequently jumping in the fray in
'66. By the time NBC got serious in '69, the U.S. was knee-deep in daily crises of every
imaginable sort, and it did not look good, particularly to the FCC, to have local stations
not carrying news coverage. We have left ABC out of this because, as we know, no
attempt was made there until 1975, and it was a flop. The Alphabet channel wouldn't add
Sundays until 1979 and Saturdays (for good this time) until well into 1985, for crying out
loud. NBC, by the way, added Sundays in conjunction with the retirement of Chet
Huntley in 1970 to establish a seven-day-per-week "NBC Nightly News," with the

infamous three-man rotation of John Chancellor, David Brinkley, and McGee, with, like
the Saturday "HBR" originally, no weekend anchor.

WTCN (not KTCN), Channel 11 (now known as KARE) has an interesting programming
history. It started out as the DuMont/ABC affiliate, then went independent when ABC
moved to KMSP Channel 9. As an independent, they were the home of University of
Minnesota sports, Minnesota Twins baseball and Minnesota North Stars hockey(and
before that their minor league hockey team), as well as various state high school
tournaments.
The schedule I've excerpted is perhaps not the best one can look at to get a
representative sample of what their programming in the late 60s was like. As I
documented here (http://www.itsabouttv.com/2012/09/th...er-7-1968.html), the typical
prime-time schedule by 1968 would include 12 O'Clock High, The Munsters, The
Addams Family, Wagon Train, The Invaders and Run For Your Life, as well as Star Trek,
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and Twilight Zone. Later on they'd add shows like That
Girl, The Lucy Show and the Merv Griffin Show. You can add to that various nationally
syndicated football games, specials, game shows and regular 70s and 80s features such
as the Jerry Lewis Telethon.
Lunch With Casey was an iconic kids show, much beloved until it went off the air in the
70s. (http://lunchwithcasey.com/main/), and featured exceptionally creative bits that
were, in hindsight, clearly inspired by Ernie Kovacs. And the matinee movie was more
than just a movie, hosted by the famed Twin Cities pitchman Mel Jass.
(http://www.pavekmuseum.org/jass.html)
By the late 70s, WTCN had become one of the highest-rated independent stations in the
country, and thus it was quite a surprise when, in the great affiliate shakeup of 1979,
WTCN chose to team up with NBC after Channel 5, the longtime NBC affiliate, switched
to ABC.
So I think we need to be fair to WTCN. It was a very popular station in the Twin Cities,
and even though it's an NBC affiliate today, the memory of it is still much-loved by those
of my era.

WTCN was a regional "SuperStation" they were on the cable systems in the Dakotas,
Nebraska, northern Wisconsin and I even got them in a hotel in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Of
course that stopped when they became NBC.

Apropos of nothing in particular, there was a time when WTCN's local news was called
World and Twin Cities News - WTCN. Clever, huh?

NOTES: TV Guide doesn't indicate if the PBS stations have

in-school programs; for daytime I will list what TV Guide has for
Chs. 2, 17, 29, and 33. Also, this is the night Lester Maddox walked
off Dick Cavett's show after Cavett made a remark about the "bigots"
who elected Maddox governor of Georgia. I was living in Birmingham
and had picked up Atlanta's Ch. 11, where a Hawks game was on. When
the station's 11 PM news came on Maddox was the lead story, but then-anchor
(later sportscaster) Bob Neal said Atlanta viewers would have to wait until
Sunday to see it, since the station already had a movie scheduled at 11:30.

Re: Retro: Eastern New England - Saturday December 24, 1960

Usually, "Make That Spare" was broadcast live and would start when the live boxing
match began.
That week, it was a full half-hour, and probably taped in advance (perhaps prior to the
previous Saturday's live telecast) due to it being Christmas Eve.

Re: Retro: Boston/Manchester/Providence/Portland Fri, Dec 25, 1959
Of the 16 Desilu Workshop actors featured in the Christmas Night 1959 "Desilu
Playhouse" series, only two really achieved any sort of fame: Dick Kallman had a couple
of TV series in the 1960's and enjoyed a brief period of popularity; while Majel Barrett
went on to achieve stardom for the rest of her life after playing Nurse Christine Chapel in
the original "Star Trek". Barrett also voiced the computer in all of the "Trek" series
through "Star Trek Enterprise". Barrett later married "Trek" creator/executive producer
Gene Roddenberry (I believe they met when filming the first "Star Trek" pilot; in that one,
she played a second-in-command known only as "Number One").

I believe the English telecasts in Canada, at least on the CBC, also omitted the liveaction segments, which I believe were used only on PBS.

I think you're right on that, can't recall what TVO did (Canadian broadcasts claim the
show was a co-prod with TVO).

Re: Retro: South Mississippi Sun, Dec 25, 1994
Wow-ee! Twenty-three stations in one edition. And this was as late as the mid-90s, no
less! I thought the old South Georgia edition took the top prize as far as number of
stations in one listing, but this may beat even that.
I never did follow TVG much after the mid-80s, so I am somewhat taken aback by this,
since I understood the trend up to that time toward smaller, not larger geography in each
territory. Anyone know anything about that?
BTW, here's the Wikipedia page for reference to editions:

Re: Retro: South Mississippi Sun, Dec 25, 1994
This was exactly one week and one year before WVUE would switch to a Fox affiliation;
mind you, this was unrelated to the epic New World deal: at the time, the station was
purchased by Savoy Pictures; it would be one of two movie studios (Columbia Pictures)
that would own WVUE...
Do you have any listings for South Mississippi from the late 90s (1995-1999)
including
54 - WUPL New Orleans (UPN)
from TV Guide-South Mississippi edition

06:30p NBC Nightly News Chet Huntley, David Brinkley

...TILT!!! During Chet Huntley's tenure in New York, the NBC evening newscast was
always The Huntley-Brinkley Report. It didn't become NBC Nightly News until Huntley
retired and was replaced on 3 August 1970 by John Chancellor and Frank McGee, with
David Brinkley contributing split weeks from Washington with Chancellor...

My bad! TV Guide didn't separate out the network news so I put the titles in. I couldn't
remember when the NBC Nightly News title started, so thanks for the correction!

I don't know if this is true, but I thought I once heard that NBC briefly used the title
"Nightly News" in the Fall of 1956 when Huntley and Brinkley began co-anchoring, but
changed the title after a short time (a few weeks??) to "The Huntley/Brinkley Report".

changed the title after a short time (a few weeks??) to "The Huntley/Brinkley Report".
...for whatever it's worth, Wikipedia (yes, I am considering the source) lists the only
variant in the program's title to be the occasional insertion of the primary sponsor's name
into the title, making it The Texaco Huntley-Brinkley Report. This was a preactice that
went back before Huntley-Brinkley's NBC News predecessor, John Cameron Swayze's
Camel News Caravan, to the radio days of World War 2, when CBS' John Daly on the
Sunday World News Today would switch to not "Columbia's correspondent" (CBS more
commonly ID'd itself during programs as "Columbia" during the period) but "Admiral's
correspondent" in London, Cairo or Honolulu, and Mutual's Frank Singheiser was "Your
Sunoco News Reporter" three nights a week...

Channel 56 (WKBG) would become the second Boston station to have local color after
WHDH (5)
What year did WBZ-TV have local color in the studio ( VTR and film they had from the
mid 60's)

Colorful 4 (Was: Re: Retro: Boston Monday December 19, 1966)
I think WBZ-4 converted one of its studios to color in February or March of 1967, but not
the other (used mostly for Rex Trailer's "Boomtown") until mid-1968.
I know they had a color film chain as far back as the late 1950's as I have seen Boston
Globe TV listings showing color feature films airing on a very occasional basis on WBZ
as far back as June of 1957; I think they got a color VTR in the early-to-mid 1960's to
record NBC color programs for delayed playback in color.
I recall that for a few weeks/months after my parents got our first color TV set in March
of 1968 that the studio segments of "Boomtown" were in black-and-white, but the
cartoons were in color. At the same time, most local WBZ newsfilm was in black-andwhite until around June of 1968 (In fact, I believe most WNAC-7 local newsfilm was also
in black-and-white until mid-1968).

And the reason you did not see Rex's late horse "Goldrush" all that much after
"Boomtown's" switch to color in fall of '68 was that the hot and bright studio lights
needed for color broadcasting were too intense for "Goldrush" to handle. So, probably
the only time you saw "Goldrush" was in the color film closing "Hoofbeats, hoofbeats
hoooooofbeats.........." at the end of the show, with Rex singing the song.

Yes; in fact, "Santa Claus And Slim" had been airing since just after
Thanksgiving. It was one of those shows you don't see anymore, with
kids coming on to tell Santa what they want for Christmas.

According to that day's Boston Globe, WXPO-50 aired a half-hour newscast at 10 P.M.
and did not list a ski program at 10:15.
I suspect that a fifteen-minute version of the newscast aired over WXPO on this evening
at 10 P.M., followed by the ski program.

The ski show was hosted by Doug Wheeler who later worked at WSBK and NESN and
the set was Captain Bob's old set from WHDH-TV.
The ski show was important as a ski area in Vermont actually paid WXPO cash which
was badly needed then.
Captain Bob's set was destroyed when the studio was heavily damaged by flooding in
early 1970.
8:30p
50 Dennis Wholey Show
...hmmm. Would this be a syndicated edit of Wholey's WKYC-TV/3 Cleveland show, or
another program he did between the Cleveland gig and AM Detroit on WXYZ-TV/7?...
The Channel 50 version came from Cincinnati and it was terrible.
Wholey's syndicated show came from Cincinnati's WKRC-TV 12..He never worked in
Cleveland or on WKYC-TV-3, nor did his show air in Cleveland at all..

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Saturday, December 24, 1966
As that time of year grows closer, bp, I've just gotta know:
1) Whether or not the University of Georgia paid the control room boys on channel 8 at
least double time for coming in Christmas Eve night. I sure hope that was the case; if I
had had anything to do with it back in the day, I would have paid triple--and a Santa
package for any who had children.
2) Whether WSB (channel 2) ran all-night movies on, say, the weekends back then, or if
this was a special Christmas Eve "treat," so to speak. One suspects that these were
aimed at "mamas and daddies" doing their Santa Claus bit before turning in. But, if one
or more parents weren't careful, they might wind up asleep in the recliner or the sofa
when the kids woke up to open their presents, and the young ones might inquire, "Gee,
Dad (Mom), did you and Santa watch TV last night together? You made us go to bed, so
wy didn't you go too? Guess Santy didn't leave you anything." (!!!!!)

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Saturday, December 24, 1966
WSB's schedule of all-night movies was a Christmas one-shot;
the station even ran an ad saying that it was "all night Christmas
programming." No station in the Atlanta edition broadcast for 24
hours on a regular basis in 1966.
WGTV's engineers should have gotten extra for Saturday night the
year 'round, because even as late as the late '70s the station didn't
sign on until around 7 PM and might--just might--stay on until about
1 AM. By contrast, Ch. 15 (now Ch. 29) in Cochran and Ch. 18 in
Chatsworth had a full Saturday schedule by the '70s.
Retro: Augusta, GA cherry-picking (WJBF, WRDW, WATU), Thursday, July 10, 1969
Now, we take a moment to examine the chaotic situation in Augusta, Georgia television
that obtained between Christmas Eve 1968, when a UHF station, WATU, started up in
the midst of two established VHF competitors. Take a look and compare for yourselves
to see how it compares to nearly-identical situations during that era in Birmingham,
Alabama, and Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina:

The principal reason WATU went out of business for four years between 1970 and 1974
was WJBF, although WRDW did a little damage. When a station is crowded out of all but
three daytime shows and a half-hour in primetime (with neither of the other two taking
most of it anyway), it should not be surprising that the FCC got concerned about
protecting U start-ups. Had the Feds not intervened in the WRDU case in RaleighDurham in '71, WATU would probably have never returned, IMO.

not the former host of the CBS "Early Show" against the star
of "Miami Vice" and "Nash Bridges")

includes not only Biblical landmarks but a look at the modern era:

in abbreviated form by opera singer Georgio Tozzi and ballerina

Bennett Cerf)
1 PM Ronnie Thompson (country music)

More Christmas merriment now, bp, with my trademark brand of snark and nonsense.
This beats British pantomime as a Yuletide tradition any day, I think.
WSB, 12 Noon: Strange, but I always thought competitive bowling (in a game show-like
format) was something only seen on Northern stations back in the day. But Atlanta had a
lot of "Yankees" even then, so this may have been for homesick folks wanting a taste of
Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Cleveland, New Jersey, wherever.
WSB, 5:30 p.m.: Ray Moore was a legendary newsman in Atlanta for years, I
understand. Anybody know if he is still living? He would have to be in his nineties if so.
WSB, 6 p.m.: The newscaster had a most convenient name for the season: a homonym
for "Wassell" is "wassail" as in the traditional hot British cider drunk at this time of year.
WSB, 7:30 p.m.: Now Ludwig would claim that, wouldn't he? If that's the case, then
Mother Goose is the great-great aunt of Donald Duck, and thus the great-great-great
aunt of Huey, Dewey, and Louie (how many times removed or what, I can't imagine--it
would make my head hurt to figure that one out).
WRCB, 1 p.m.: I imagine Bundy's appearance on Meet the Press may well have been
the first presentiment the public received about what would become the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting the following year, 1967. As things would turn out, over a decade
later, AFAIK, PBS would become the first U.S. network to employ satellite connections to
the affiliates, instead of the phone lines.
WGTV, 4:30 p.m.: I am almost afraid to inquire what THAT might have been about.
Perhaps an art film from NET or something. In any case, I suspect this didn't get any
takers--can't say I blame them. Whatever it was, it was definitely not for kids.
WDEF, 10 a.m.: If this was a CBS production, it speaks volumes about the fact that
commercial broadcasters still felt some responsibility for cultural uplift. By the time I
came along, the only things of that sort left were the occasional "Festival of Lively Arts
for Young People" seen on CBS on Sunday afternoons. And those were gone by the
early 1980s. People didn't know how good they had things back then--I am dead serious
about that. In this age of thousands of channels, I am sure there are others than me who
would BEG for classical music, serious theatre, ballet, and other fine arts to get at least
an occasional airing on some channels other than PBS. Makes you wonder sometimes
whether the Public Broadcasting Act did more harm than good, by deflecting FCC
pressure off commercial broadcasters and casting cultural programming into the public
TV "ghetto." I know I could get a good thread started on that alone, so I will desist here.
WDEF, 10:30 p.m.: Appropriate for Christmas time, this was a family panel: actor Martin
Gabel was the husband of "WML?" stalwart Arlene Francis.
WMAZ, 1 p.m.: I take it this was the show that launched Thompson into the mayoralty of
Macon in 1967. Thompson gained notoriety during his eight years in that position for his
hard-line law-and-order stance toward civil rights, peace demonstrations, and the like.
He bore the (pardon the reference here, but it is historic) moniker of "Machine Gun
Ronnie." Thompson was the unsuccessful Republican nominee for governor of Georgia
in 1974, and faded from the public spotlight not long after that. Thompson, FWIK, began
as a gospel singer and parlayed that into local fame.
Hell, I didn't even make one joke during all that. What's wrong with me? Oh, well, I'll
make up for it with my Christmas-time surprise coming over the next few days. The only
hint I'm giving is that these listings are from the Sixties and are from two different
Southern markets. Just like you cannot open your presents until Tuesday, so you will
have to check back to see. Meanwhile, may your houses be Grinch-proof.

No WML? on WAGA?
[quote=bpatrick ]
10 PM Candid Camera (people on the street are asked about imaginary TV programs;
customers in a small-town diner are served by a singing waitress; a spoof of
a razor-blade commercial; Fannie Flagg reads unusual New Year's cards)

"What's My Line?" took a sharp drop in the ratings after Dorothy
Kilgallen's death in 1965, and it was around that time that WAGA
dropped the show (WBTV Charlotte also dropped it and was running
Andy Williams on NBC in December 1966). Ironically, when WXIA dropped
syndicated "Line" in favor of "Concentration" in 1974, WAGA carried the
last year of that version.
And in answer to the posting about "L'Enfance du Christ," it was a CBS

presentation that pre-empted "Lamp Unto My Feet" and "Look Up And Live."
It would be nice to see some productions of this sort (I think of the New
York Philharmonic concerts with Leonard Bernstein, especially the "Young

People's Concerts," that used to be a staple on CBS), but money-grabby
corporations aren't going to pass up a potential profit for telecasts of this nature.
But just look at what the networks offered that Christmas Day 46 years ago:
ABC: the one-hour "Directions" special "Christmas In The Marketplace" (1 PM)

"Saga Of Western Man: Christ Is Born" (4 PM)
for kids, "The Dangerous Christmas Of Red Riding Hood" (7 PM)
CBS: "L'Enfance du Christ" (10 AM)

a special "Camera Three" Christmas show (11 AM on Ch. 12, 12 N on Ch. 5)
"Christmas In Spanish Harlem" (6 PM)
NBC: "Christmas At Washington Cathedral" (11 AM)

"Amahl And The Night Visitors" (6:30 PM)
How many programs of this type do you see on Christmas Day on the broadcast
networks today? Absolutely none. Instead you get the Disney World Christmas
Parade (sorry, no slam at Disney intended) and an NBA doubleheader on ABC,
and that's about it.

And we never will again, bp. Dignified, quality TV of the type we grew up on is dead.
Hence we haunt this place for nostalgia to remember "the way we were" (nod to Barbra
Streisand here).
PBS is just about the best bet for anything remotely serious tomorrow, I expect.
Schedules will vary from place to place, but you can count on music specials, especially
choirs.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, friend. I knew I could count on you to put up with my
foolishness for the umpteen years I've been posting. Now if I can only persuade my
family to do likewise (!!!)
Retro: "South Cackalacky," Sunday, July 6, 1969

Here it is--the first in my Christmas series of rare retros to mark the fact that I have some
time to burn this season, something I did not have during most of the year. So enjoy this
Yuletide treat (if the dates are off-putting, just fantasize about the warm weather on them
and that will do the trick--honest).
What's "South Cackalacky," you say? A humorous nickname for South Carolina, the
palmetto (you've got to be a Southerner to understand).

Re: Retro: "South Cackalacky," Sunday, July 6, 1969
Whoops! WATU is now WAGT, of course, something I failed to mention in the legend,
having gotten carried away with explaining its precarious situation vis-a-vis the networks.
Happy 44th anniversary to the station, BTW.

Re: Retro: "South Cackalacky," Sunday, July 6, 1969
"Putt-Putt Golf" was a 30-minute miniature golf contest, named for the Putt-Putt chain
which used to be very big...but on www.puttputt.com today, there are very few left.
They were constructing a Putt-Putt in Hialeah FL (with 4 18-hole courses, a lulu), where I
was raised. I was 16 at the time and wanted a job there, but was brushed off. I believe
the guy who turned me down was the head of the national Putt-Putt (I wanna say
Clayton as the last name, but not sure)--I am almost sure he was involved with the TV
show, which by '75 was long gone. And, I don't think that the local course lasted more
than 3 years.
if www.ppatv.com still works, there should be a Putt-Putt tournament you can view
online...it was much like the TV show. Ths would never work today on television, despite
847 channels....!!

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon VHFs Thursday, November 14, 1974

I know why Atlanta didn't carry The Young And The Restless (surely 17 or 36 could have
carried it, since they had CBS daytime programs as well as NBC's daytime programs),
but why didn't Chattanooga carry The Young And The Restless?
Also was The ABC Afternoon Playhouse an adult version of ABC's Afterschool Special?
How long did this show last? Were there any shows of interest that came from this?

Where are you getting this KAGA and KDEF nonsense?
WDEF, by the way, is Channel 12; WTVC is Channel 9.
But to try to answer your questions, The Young And

The Restless didn't start airing in Atlanta until July 1976;
Channel 5 carried it at 1 PM until it went to an hour. I
don't recall when Channel 12 picked it up, around 1977

or '78 at the latest. 36 wasn't on the air in 1974; and
Ted Turner, for whatever reason (read: money) was no
longer carrying daytime shows turned down by the affiliates.
I was at the University of Georgia at the time, and Y&R fans

watched it at noon on WSPA/7.
As for the ABC Afternoon Playbreak, it may have been intended

as an adult version of the ABC Afterschool Special; it ran about
once a month and usually presented original plays. It sounds
like a brainchild of Marty Starger, ABC's head programmer at the
time. Starger seems to have seen himself as his generation's
Pat Weaver; he was going to put on all these highbrow specials
and miniseries (such as "The Strauss Family" on Saturday nights
in the summer of 1973, a production of "The Glass Menagerie," a
miniseries about Shakespeare, etc.), but ABC didn't have the series
strength to financially support his plans and most of them were scrapped.
When first Fred Pierce, and then Fred Silverman, came in, all the
highbrow stuff went south, although they did give the world "Rich
Man, Poor Man" and "Roots" as miniseries.
Playbreak, as I recall, lasted from the fall of 1972 until sometime

in 1975. CBS even tried the same thing during the week in February
1974 between the end of "The Secret Storm" and the debut of
"Tattletales," called "Daytime 90." I don't think it ever aired again.

Oops, my mistake, WAGA was Channel 5 and WDEF Channel 12. My apologies.

"The Odd Couple" normally aired on ABC in the 8 PM (ET) hour. I noticed that it was preempted on this date, likely for a Cousteau special (with WSB opting for "Ironside"
locally).
