UCLA beating Illinois 6-3 in front of 42,000+ attendees.)
2330 Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve (Now this is interesting. How did AFN arrange this for the
military? Times Square 'ball drop' was at 5:59AM the next morning in Germany. Did he do a separate
broadcast solely for the military audience with a European countdown or something? ABC was not airing
primetime NYE at that time, as they aired reruns of sitcoms and Homefront from 8-11p.)
Note: The length of the game and the New Year's Eve special at 2330 will affect the rest of tonight's
programming, preempting and/or delaying some or most of the programs listed here. Please watch
AFN's on-screen program announcements for all the details.

Jerry Springer was about at his apex that year. He moved to WXON in 2000, I think. UPN and WB were
still developing a consistent prime time schedule and ABC was in significant transition itself. Longtime
hits 'Coach' and 'Roseanne' ended in 1997 with not much to replace them. ABC made the regrettable
choice of making Jamie Tarses its President which ended badly a few years later.
The trend towards a lot of infomercials for overnight programming still hadn't taken hold meaning there
was actual programming to watch in overnight hours.
Spot-on about Springer...I was a high school junior around this time, and his show aired locally in Los
Angeles at 11pm Monday-Saturday night, while competing against the news on KCBS, KNBC, and KABC.
He often beat KNBC and KCBS in the ratings in that hour.
WDIV had all the Trash TV shows at this time (Maury and Jerry of course, and Jenny Jones was trashy at
this time). Also, WWJ aired Letterman at 11pm at this time. Was it that same night's show or a day
delay?
Letterman was the same day show. CBS fed it to WWJ early for the 11PM broadcast. (I lived in Detroit at
the time. WWJ didn't have much going for it, but they could promote Letterman@11.)

Let's to to the Tale of the Tapemeasure...
You asked me the same on a previous post, and I told you that The Toledo Blade only listed English-
speaking stations.
Also, Radio-Canada never had any cable carriage on the American side of the border. AFAIK, the Blade
never included another Canadian besides CBET.
The Detroit papers never included Radio-Canada in their listings AFAIK, but they did have (in their
statewide listings) CBET, CHBX, CJIC, and CKCO (and possibly TVO).
I believe the show that WKBD was running at 8 AM was The Mask: Animated Series, not M.A.S.K.
Most of the Canadian stations near Detroit were either low-power or positioned farther away from
Detroit. When I lived there, CBET/9 was the only Canadian station I could receive off-air.
Letterman was the same day show. CBS fed it to WWJ early for the 11PM broadcast. (I lived in Detroit at
the time. WWJ didn't have much going for it, but they could promote Letterman@11.)
I never knew they did that. Makes sense since they didn’t have news.
I assume another episode of Mad About You aired at 5:30 since I don’t see anything listed for that time?
For those who may not know, CBET was the former commercial CKLW-TV, which, like the AM station,
targeted Detroit. Pick any random Big 8 aircheck and you'll hear an ad for CKLW-TV
The Free Press at least did indeed carry CBEFT 54 listings during the '80s, at least in the local edition. I
don't know about the News, as my family didn't subscribe.
Interesting seeing Judge Judy carried at 11:30 at night. It was still in its first season then and I wonder if
anyone anticipated the massive success that was to come. I believe Judge Judy was aired on WWJ 62
when I started watching in 2000 or so, then moved to Fox 2 in 2001 where it remains to this day.

at 5:00, or 3:30 Eastern Time, a head start on America, where no stations air it earlier than 7:00 ET
except sometimes to accommodate a pre-emption. They no longer carry any of the CBS daytime shows
except The Talk, I believe.
They carry Y&R at 12:30pm. The Talk they carry Tuesday-Friday morning at 3:30am
NTV Aired Wheel Of Fortune since 1990 but taped delayed with jeopardy as a CTV station, those shows
kept as CTV shows on NTV along with Oprah Winfrey and Canadian idol until 2008. This was due to
Global shows on this station. Newfoundland isn’t lucky enough with 2 separate stations, unless CTV
expands

07:30p Disneyland – two cartoons: “Mr. Toad” and “The Reluctant Dragon” (ABC)
I believe a young Bob Keeshan did this show, and left a short time thereafter to do "Captain Kangaroo"
for CBS.
Still, it was the biggest top prize for a TV game show at the time.....for only about a month, before "The
$64,000 Question" premiered.
(I believe the first $64,000 prize was won late that Summer)

Most likely the Australian versions.
Nine
9:30- Cheers
But halfway into Australia’s Naughtiest Home Videos, a Nine announcer informed viewers that a
“technical problem” prevented them from resuming the show, and what was that technical problem?
Kerry Packer on the phone demanding network master control in Sydney to “GET THAT S*** OFF THE
AIR!!!!”; Cheers immediately hit as the “brief alternative program”.
It wouldn’t be until 2008 when that infamous program would finally be shown in its entirety (Packer was
already dead by then).

Ckcw is 2, CKLT is channel 9. They are both ctv new Brunswick. They merge to ATV in 1972, there was one
tv station in Cape Breton which merge from cbc in Sydney (CJCB)
Since @Mike711 had bumped the Maine schedules I found it interesting WGME wasn’t airing Guiding
Light at all in 1996 but was airing it a day behind just 9 months later. They would remain a day behind
until CBS actually offered a 9AM ET feed in early 2006.
Retro: AFN Europe, AFRTS Satellite and various European satellite networks, Fri. 6 Oct 1995
This will be in three parts. The first part is the AFN Europe listings, the second is for AFRTS SatNet (the
international satellite feed which was on Intelsat VII F2 at 1W, along with Satcom SN2 at 69W), and the
third is for several European television networks, mostly England, which military personnel were allowed
to receive with a satellite connection.

Jaime Escalante first became known to most Americans when actor Edward James Olmos portrayed the
unorthodox Latino math teacher in the uplifting 1988 motion picture 'Stand & Deliver.' Hailed for
teaching inner-city kids the intricacies of calculus and higher mathematics, since the movie Escalante has
become as famous for his advocacy of young people and public education as for his flamboyant style. In
this series from the Foundation of the Advancement of Science and Education, Jaime Escalante himself
guides young viewers through the wonderful possibilities their futures hold in store. From industrial
design and personal communication to Oceanic exploration, there are great careers just around the
corner for kids who can stand and deliver. Today: Jaime teaches youngsters the value of mathematics in
dealing with agriculture, aircraft design, and flight. Guests: Jimmy Smits, Lt. Cdr. Donnie Cochran of the
Blue Angels. (The TV Guide kept misspelling him as 'Jamie'...)

0050 Friday Night
AFRTS SatNet 6 Oct 1995 - Times PACIFIC...as they were based out of a new operations center in
Riverside, CA at that point. Prior to that they were in Sun Valley. That building fed all of the AFRTS
programming that went to Germany, Japan, Italy, Korea, and all over the world - including on Navy ships!
If you want to translate these times into German time, add 9 hours. Tokyo and Okinawa are 17 hrs
ahead. E.G., the 0000 PT show came on at 9am CET, and 5PM JST.
0000 CBS David Letterman (Wonder which part of the world this was beamed towards. I think Alaska
AFN might have ceased by that point, and the AFN in Honduras would have been 2am their time.)
0130 IND Sally Jessy Raphael (Fed to EU or the Middle East for sure.)
0252 IND Wheel of Fortune (These two shows likely were beamed for viewers in Asia)
0314 IND Channel One (I had no idea that the classroom news service was fed around the world by
AFRTS! At that hour it would have likely been fed into USDOD schools in Spain and Germany.)
0400 ABC Good Morning America (live and not delayed for PT - this was the 1300 CET program in
Germany)
1000 NBC seaQuest DSV *OR* ABC Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (I guess AFRTS had
no idea what they would feed to the world at that hour and they made a last-minute decision. These
programs likely went to Turkey or somewhere in the Middle East where they had a straight satellite
connection)
1200 HBO Inside the NFL (wow! Didn't know pay-TV shows got carried on AFRTS back then.)
1400 NBC The Tonight Show (This was probably intended for Diego Garcia and Turkey more than anyone
else)
Satellite TV - Europe. Many of these channels were also seen on TKS Cable in Germany, which was
accessible to some military personnel/soldiers.

Speaking of TKS Cable, just to make a comparison of then vs. now, I found a list of channels the cable
company currently carries for American military personnel in Germany. The major difference is just
about all of the channels they carry now are American, as opposed to in the '90s and 2000s when it
largely carried UK-based networks. All of the AFN networks, of course, are included.
Stationed overseas? easyTV is real American television for U.S. service members overseas.

The May 30th, 1955 Boston Globe did list the programming broadcast that day by WTAO-56, and this is
the schedule:
(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:)
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)
also did--until 10/27/54). All other areas returned to standard time at the end
of September in '54.
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.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What's_the_Story?
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.

game shows? And wasn't this around the time Gene Wood left
11 PM (10 PM ET).
Another suggestion would be, for French channels, to point out which programs are translations of
English-language shows or movies -- for instance, not everyone knows that "Roquet Belles Oreilles" is the
French dub of "Huckleberry Hound".
It's a nice idea but I doubt I would be very consistent with it. Inevitably, there would be translated
English-language shows I'm not familiar with. Roquet Belles Oreilles/Huckleberry Hound, I do know,
however.
As to the missing time zone notice. That was an oversight. I have mostly provided those notices but in
this and a few other cases, I didn't see it missing until you pointed it out, bpatrick. Thanks.

I remember these listings back then when visiting the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. I found it odd how
WKXT (now WVLT) aired five minutes of news at 11:00 then had Married...with Children at 11:05. Most
stations aired at least a 6:00 and 11:00 newscast. They expanded their news operation around 1997
when they became WVLT.
KAPP/KVEW does the same thing nowadays in Yakima and Tri-Cities. The recession forced them to make
tons of cuts and they have barely recovered. News at 11pm is 2 1/2 minutes long, with 2 1/2 minutes of
commercials before Jimmy Kimmel Live comes on at 11:05...earlier than just about any PT ABC affiliate.

Wow what a great effort! Although we didn't have C-Band, our local cable system used a C-Band feed to
air CBC North. Since the channel was on Mountain Time, my assumption is that's CBC Northwest.
This was such a great find on eBay. They don't come up often. Same with Satellite TV Week.....
I got like 12 issues of OnSat on eBay recently. I'd buy what there is of Satellite TV Week but most are
going for ridiculously high prices (one of which was apparently owned by OJ Simpson?????).
The CBC North 'east' feed was on Atlantic time I notice. I doubt there were many viewers out this way of
that feed. What OnSat didn't mention was right before they signed off, CBC North had a scrolling screen
of weather forecasts for the Arctic.
There were a bunch of ads in the OnSat Magazine for subscription packages from Turner Home Satellite,
NPS, and others. You would purchase packages of 'services' (channels) for a certain price per month.
There was another ad for the Primetime 24 service featuring drawings of a bunch of network stars. They
claimed they were the "#1 choice among satellite dish owners". I'm sure that was true for the
eastern/central owners, but the Denver stations filled in the west until PT24 West came on
(KOMO/KPIX/KNBC).
Turner's biggest package had 30 'services' (and also included E/W feeds of a few channels) for $35 per
month, $354.00/year. You could choose two premium packages from four that were available -
HBO/HBO2/HBO3, Cinemax 1/2, Disney Channel E/W and/or Playboy. The package also had all the
superstations, but Turner did not offer TNN, Nickelodeon, MTV, or VH1 in their packages.
Showtime Satellite Networks offered a package that contained Nick, VH1, and MTV, as well as an offer
for two free PPV movies on TVN Satellite.
I notice that a couple of the package companies offered the 'choice' of either Primetime 24 East or the
Denver stations for the networks.
In proof that everything's on the internet, check out this forecast from 1993--and note how brutally cold
the temps are.
And in my VHS collecting adventures, I found a 1989 CBC North recording of 'Three Men on a Horse'
(1936), with Frank McHugh, that had the sign-off included. Scrolling WX forecasts with ridiculously cold
temperatures, into the O Canada video with the children's choir, and right to a green test pattern with no
sign-off announcement. I guess the WX forecast was the 'announcement' for the default national feed.
A couple of years later I found two Christmas specials, Anne Murray and Carol Burnett, taped off CBC
North that same year.
Have yet to find any VHS recordings from Foxnet, but there are scattered clips of commercial breaks on
YouTube from that feed. They filled most of the breaks with direct-response advertising and promos, and
not generic national ads.
I need to take some pictures of the magazine and get some of those ads pulled off.

Wow, no 5pm news on KING, and Mary Tyler Moore at 6:30 on KIRO. Plus old primetime reruns 4-5pm. A
different era for sure.
KVOS was considered a CBS affiliate? They don't have any network primetime shows or the CBS Evening
News and hardly any network daytime programs.
Just barely. KVOS aired a lot more CBS shows in the early 70s, but a combination of pressure from
Seattle's KIRO (Seattle and Bellingham are just 90 miles apart) and Canadian regulations meant KVOS cut
its CBS shows down to a bare minimum. Never been able to figure out why CBS didn't just drop them
entirely.
By 1987, they dropped the last CBS program (60 Minutes I think) and became a pure indie serving mostly
BC. They kept this up all the way until they went to MeTV. I remember in the '00s, KVOS was running
Cagney & Lacey reruns (which were not on any Seattle station), along with Montel, a few sitcom reruns,
an 8:00 movie, Street Smarts, Elimidate, and Family Feud (when Richard Karn was the host). And they
also had Newsview, which was a half-hour morning news show that mostly focused on Whatcom County.
It was canceled in 2007.
I haven't found any old tapes from KVOS past 1992. Were they still selling 3/4ths of their ads to Canadian
sponsors and Vancouver car dealers even after the millennium?
I wonder if KVOS aired mostly CBS programs pre-empted by KIRO in the late 1970s and 1980s
Possibly. KIRO, then owned by conservative Bonneville, did not air some programming. KVOS once was
on Seattle cable, but no longer.
I often speculated that CBS allowed KVOS to be a nominal affiliate as a way to try get KIRO to pre-empt
less. KIRO obviously didn't like KVOS airing CBS shows, but KIRO likely refused to reduce pre-emptions.
So CBS allowed KVOS to be a thorn in KIRO's side. Again, just speculation.
Anyone here familiar with this blog that posted retro TV schedules from the 60s to the 90s (mostly from
the Chicago area but there are a few from other cities as well)? It hasn't been updated since 2016 but it's
worth checking out.

obviously had to remove any MTV content aired on the Canadian version).

That CBS Primetime schedule sounds godawful. Other than Dave's World(which had been on since what,
92 or '93) none of those shows made it beyond one season, let alone half a season. Andrew Dice Clay?
Really? Ugh. This was definitely the nadir for CBS from 1995-1998 as CBS was still reeling from its
downfall during the Laurence Tisch years.
They had a cool campaign in those days ('You're On') but the premise failed with viewers. Bless This
House only made it to January. Courthouse only made it to November. In the case of Bless This House, I
don't know what CBS was thinking when they casted Andrew Dice Clay, known for raunchy and
disgusting comedy.
Yeah I remember a multiple hits and misses for CBS during that period. They had that Absolutely
Fabulous rip-off that with Jean Smart that was fun but way too progressive for CBS. Also there was
American Gothic, New York News, and Central Park West which if those shows had been on Fox and/or
WB they would have flourished better and lasted longer.
Then there was the odd case of Can’t Hurry Love with Nancy McKeon which was connected to The
Nanny as Mr. Sheffield was McKeon’s character landlord. Despite being a Top 25 hit CBS mysteriously
cancelled it.
It seems odd that during this period CBS’ biggest hits were on Saturday and Sunday nights. I know for
myself between Northern Exposure’s finale and not until Early Edition became a cult hit that I barely
watched anything on CBS primetime as opposed to the other nets at the time.

For those that don't know, that TV series starred singer/actress Julie Amato, and it ran on the CTV
network from 1976-78 (a YouTube video compilation she made several years ago can be found at
). I was able to watch some episodes of her show while living in the city of my youth, Cleveland Heights,
OH, when CTV affiliate CKCO-TV, either out of Kitchener or Sarnia/Chatham, Ontario, would sometimes
come in. I was a fan then, and I still am a fan of her today, because her singing voice is one of the best.

I always find it interesting that CKCO on channel 42 was in the Detroit listings but Global on channel 29
was not. (I believe Windsor's channel 22 was off the air at that time.)
The Windsor Star had listings for all of these plus Global 29, WKYC 3 (NBC), WEWS 5 (ABC), WJKW 8
(CBS) and WUAB 43 (Ind.) from Cleveland and CFPL 10 (CBC) London. TVO was also listed on Channel 59
from Chatham. Later CHCH Hamilton and CFMT and CITY Toronto were added due to cable carriage.
WKBD 50 had the strongest lineup of all the independent stations. It was the only Field Communications
station left running an afternoon movie. This station was more movie based than sister Field stations.
WFLD Chicago had very few movies and none in daytime or prime time. WKBS TV Philadelphia had only
very old movies when they ran them. WKBD was the only Field station to have M*A*S*H. They were an
allaround strng station. WXON 20 had OKAY nothing great programming. Very weak for being one of
three independents but at least the station had some viable cartoons and a few viable old classic comedy
shows. Was quite unusual they had pay TV after 7 PM as a second independent. 62 WGPR was extremely
weak. They were part Christian owned and part Masons owned and fully black owned. The station was
owned by two groups of black men that had polar opposite religious philosophies but the common
ground was the programming that appealed to the black community. WGPR did produce a large amount
of programming for that community. Stlll could have been a stronger station. Also Channel 62 WGPR had
a pay TV license they never used. Later in the 80's Channel 20 became stronger, WKBD was sold to Cox in
84 and to Paramount in 87. By 1990 Fox 50 WKBD and 20 WXON were head to head though 50 was
higher rated than 20 still. Channel 62 was way behind and then in 1989 another black group put 38
WADL on the air with a similar format to WGPR. So you had 2 major player indies and 2 very weak indies.
Then in late in 1994 WJBK evicted CBS for Fox in a corporate deal. Channel 7 stayed with ABC and
Channel 4 stayed with NBC. Channel 50 stayed an independent but kept the Fox Kids which WJBK did not
take. Channel 20 also stayed an independent as well. 50 took UPN while 20 took WB. CBS then bought
WGPR making the station WWJ TV and built an O & O from scratch. By 1998 WADL began running
stronger programs...more drama shows, more sitcoms, and cartoons from Fox Kids. Eventually Channel
50 and 62 become under one company. CBS takes the WB for 50 which became the CW. Channel 20 took
syndicated My Network TV. Channel 38 stayed an independent. Channels 2 and 4 stayed stand alone
stations. Kids shows gradually disappeared everywhere from 1998 to 2006. But I could not get over how
weak of a station WGPR was before CBS got it. It was nice to see the 2 independents (including 50 as a
fox affiliate) stay independent with WGPR TV taking CBS. People in Detroit gained by Fox moving to
WJBK.
I notice you have always had an interest in Independent stations in major markets
WKBD also had significant cable carriage in Michigan and into Ohio and even far northern Wisconsin.
About the only parts of Michigan that never had WKBD on cable were far southwest Michigan (such as
Benton Harbor/St. Joseph, which had WGN, WFLD, and/or WSNS) and west central Michigan (Ludington
and Manistee, which had WVTV, then WGN prior to that station going on the satellites). WKBD was
dropped in the northern Lower Peninsula, the UP, and northern Wisconsin for then-WGKI (which had a
secondary UPN affiliation in addition to its primary FOX affiliation) when WKBD dropped FOX for UPN.
WKBD, after switching to UPN, did retain cable carriage in the Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Flint-Saginaw
markets as none of those three markets had a full-time UPN station at launch (all three would eventually
get a UPN affiliate, which took over WKBD's cable channel in most cases)
WXON never had much out of market cable carriage (I think they may have made it into Flint at one
point, but not into Lansing or Jackson or Toledo). Until WGPR became a CBS affiliate, it was missing from
cable systems in outlying areas of the Detroit market. It was only a couple of years ago when WWJ was
finally added to the cable system serving southern Monroe County (which is in the Detroit market
despite bordering Toledo)
Actually, WXON did make it into Toledo, as evidenced by listings for Toledo(
ABSOLUTELY!!! CORRECT!!! I FORGOT...WFLD certainly had MASH and All In The Family and What's
Happening and Happy Days..all won in a huge swoop in 78 for the fall of 79. They kicked WGN TV's butt
soundly and put WSNS out of business into a specialty format which they still have today (well a
specialty format but a different one...intitally the format became part time pay TV then full time Pay TV
then Full Time Spanish with SIN (Now Univision) Then Telemundo....But yes WKBD and WFLD were the
heavy weights with WLVI and KBHK also doing quite well while WKBS was the weakest link though still
fairly strong.

(The assassination of John Lennon took place during the next half hour in New York City. Kathleen
Sullivan, on the then-infant Cable News Network, presented the first national TV bulletin of the shooting,
a few minutes before Lennon’s death was announced at Roosevelt Hospital in New York. Howard Cosell
interrupted the Patriots-Dolphins game with the first nationwide terrestrial TV bulletin of Lennon’s
death. On the East Coast, an NBC utility announcer – Fred Facey, perhaps? – broke into The Best of
Carson over an “NBC News Bulletin” graphic with NBC’s first network bulletin; jarringly, with no more
information than the simple announcement, NBC went back to Johnny Carson’s comedy piece.
Obviously, as Carson’s show hadn’t yet begun in the Mountain and Pacific Time zones, a separate bulletin
was fed, presumably from Los Angeles, interrupting the Chet Atkins special or Little House on the Prairie.
As for CBS, I know that Connie Chung did a KNXT Newsbreak headline report locally in Los Angeles, but I
have not ever seen or heard the aircheck of a CBS-TV bulletin about the murder. I assume CBS broke into
their rerun of Quincy on the East Coast, House Calls or Lou Grant in the Mountain zone, and local fringe
programming or Flo on the West Coast.)

The Star also lists a Spanish-language station on Channel 40, but doesn’t indicate what the call sign was;
the current-day Channel 40 operation in Tucson, KPOL/KHRR, didn’t sign on the air until 1983, and then
as an English-language indie. Perhaps this was a translator station relaying a Spanish-language
broadcaster from Phoenix or somewhere in New Mexico?

40 Al Roho Vivo
That would be K40AC, now K48GX, a Telefutura translator. Ironically, Al Roho Vivo looks a lot like Al Rojo
Vivo, which I believe is on Telemundo and currently airs on KHRR ch 40.
I forgot to mention that K40AC was a repeater of KTVW-TV 33 Phoenix. The station signed on barely two
months after KTVW did.

If "Mr. That Girl" was their cornerstone for 9 AM, just air the two sitcom reruns live 8-9, then
run the rest of CBS daytime on a one-hour delay in pattern from 10-3:30. Do that and you
get your noon news at noon, not 12:30...and no need for those half-hour delays.

Since the news title had a "41" in its title, I would think the station was repeating KWEX in San Antonio --
the SIN/Univision outlet on channel 41 in Albuquerque, KLUZ, would not sign on until 1987.

I am aware that in the past, in the station IDs, the announcer will mentioned if the program was "on
tape" or "on film". What if it was a live program, either in the studio or live off the network feed?
It may be that KTVW-TV was getting the news program from KWEX, but K40AC was a KTVW repeater,
according to their original construction permit from the FCC:
http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws...plication_id=6890&File_number=BPTT-19781222IC
in the Mountain time zone as well, if the game ran past 10 PM.

Then simply "KOOL-TV channel 10 Phoenix." Unless they decided to "bless the nation." ;)
40 at 2:30 is listed as "Juventude" – the last E is not needed. I imagine there were some Spanish spelling
errors in these listings.
Surprised there's no KNXV (signed on 1979) in this list, but this may be a VHF-only list.
Yes it is.

...well, it's possible (probable?) that KNXV didn't carry into the Tucson market very well. The Arizona
Daily Star is a Tucson paper...

I was watching Lou Grant that night, and I don't remember CBS making an announcement about Lennon.
I didn't realize he'd been shot until the next day.
Note: Although the Union also listed the VHFs from Los Angeles plus KCET/28, I am only listing the San
Diego stations here, because the font and size they chose is hard enough to read in the first place. They
even listed KEYT/3 in Santa Barbara, which was viewable in much of the coastal region of San Diego
County due to the signal path being a straight line over the Pacific Ocean.

Very nice. This was the finale for the network kids' shows listed (except for Tom & Jerry, which would run
one more year on CBS and Woody Woodpecker which had one more year on NBC).
Something I should have noted: The CBS "Six Wives of Henry VIII" was carried on a tape-delay on
Saturday evening this same week, making it a case of a pre-empted and delayed network program later
pre-empting another network program.
The San Diego PBS station actually was KPBS because KEBS changed its call letters to KPBS on October

Have the TV listings for June 13, 1987?
Look at the terrible time slots for both "Solid Gold" and Sally Jessy Raphael in America's biggest media
market. Not only is Sally in the middle of the night, but for some bizarre reason it's only a half-hour long.
"Solid Gold" was on the way out by then. "Sally Jessy Raphael" started out as a 30-minute show.
The Presidential address from Berlin was none other than the "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall"
speech. Also, I'm a little surprised that only one of the network flagship stations (WCBS) had a noon
newscast at that point.
I wonder who anchored the coverage. i doubt Brokaw was up that early, but Jennings might have done it
for ABC.

I never remembered WBTV ever airing the weekend editions of Jeopardy and Wheel. I guess they did.
WHNS was still licensed to Asheville at this time. It didn't move its COL to Greenville until 2003. It's also
odd that WHNS wasn't the FOX affiliate for Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville from Day One as it covered
much more of the market than WAXA (which didn't cover the NC side at all)
So let me get this straight...WSPA joined the Army/Navy game in progress to air the FURMAN
BASKETBALL coaches show? There wasn’t any other time they could’ve aired that?
Yeah, even though their signal goes into Western North Carolina?
Seems like these stations would have been on 24/7 by this time.
3:00 p.m.: Movie: The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus (2000)
CN was running a Christmas in July weekend at that time and I remember watching and recording parts
of this. This schedule also lists when they had some great shows on Sunday nights with the Chuck Jones,
Bob Clampett, and Tex Avery shows and Toon Heads. There was also Late Night Black & White, which
wasn't listed here. It wasn't too long after this that these shows were dropped or moved to Boomerang
when CN changed their late night programming to Adult Swim.
The good news is, Yule Toons had Dexter's Laboratory and Johnny Bravo. The bad news is, Yule Toons
didn't had Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, and Sheep in the Big City.
Just the holiday episode, but no show, nor his request show.
This was a Christmas in July weekend so it was holiday specials and episodes, not regular episodes.
Adult Swim would premiere the following September. Of course, in those days it only aired on Sunday
nights, with an encore presentation the following Thursday. Their first Saturday night anime block would
premiere in early 2002.

HA! focused more on sitcom reruns instead of comedy clips and riffing specials like the HBO-owned
Comedy Channel (which it would merge with to form CTV: Comedy Network before becoming Comedy
Central shortly afterwards).

It's interesting how many stations over the years have either started out or tried a similar lineup to the
weekday schedule you show above (including Nickelodeon waaay back in the day) and they either didn't
get great ratings or there wasn't enough interest and they moved on to different programming.
This one includes the fabled, short-lived WJJY-TV, Channel 14 from Jacksonville, IL. It was on the air from
August 1969 to April 1971. I'm not old enough to really remember it, or if we even received it here
(approximately 100 miles west of Jacksonville), but given the wattage they used, we probably could have.
I believe my parents Magnavox console had UHF capabilities.

Nice to finally see a schedule from WJJY-TV. I think KTVO carried "Bonanza" from NBC till it was
canceled...I believe it was the last NBC show cleared by KTVO.
Here's a website devoted to the ill-fated WJJY-TV in Jacksonville from a former station employee:
http://www.brainmist.com/wjjy_tv/wjjy_tv.htm
Also, as the website stated, WJJY regarded themselves as a "Jacksonville-Springfield-Quincy" station and
covered parts of the Quincy and Champaign-Decatur-Springfield markets (although I'm not exactly sure if
Morgan County was still in the Quincy market during WJJY's two years on the air as opposed to C-D-S
today), even though the Illinois state capitol was adequately served by their market's then-ABC affiliate,
WAND-17 in Decatur (which flipped to NBC Sept. 5, 2005, with ABC moving to WICS-20 Springfield and
its sister station WICD-15 Champaign on that same date). Ironically, WAND lost their transmitter in the
same Easter 1978 central Illinois ice storm (still talked about frequently here in Springfield) that claimed
the then-defunct WJJY's tower near Bluffs, IL.
Channel 14 in Jacksonville is now WSEC, a much lower-power PBS station that is the flagship of the
"Network Knowledge" group of PBS stations for western and west central Illinois (WSEC, WQEC-27
Quincy, WMEC-22 Macomb; plus one translator on channel 8 in Springfield), with its studios in Chatham,
IL (an affluent Springfield suburb). Interestingly, had the old WJJY tower not fallen there were efforts to
get channel 14 back on the air on that old Bluffs tower as a PBS station for the same area covered by the
three separate stations and the Springfield translator, plus additional coverage as far south as Alton and
Litchfield, IL.
BTW, when did Morgan County, IL switch from the Quincy-Hannibal market to Champaign-Decatur-
Springfield? In addition, some websites have even put neighboring Cass County as part of the
Champaign-Decatur-Springfield market (although they are adequately covered by the Springfield stations
in the market), but Nielsen has always, IIRC, placed Cass in the Quincy-Hannibal market.
Bumping a 13 year old thread. I actually found the old WJJY-TV studios in Jacksonville, ILL
Haven't done these in years, but thanks to NewspaperArchive, I'm back to it!

I'm a little surprised no mainland stations were imported (unless there were no satellites serving AK at
the time)
Way down the coast and the mainland from Fairbanks, but Sitka AK had several cable networks available
in 1983. USA, Nickelodeon, SPN, a few others. They were able to get KTNL over the air for CBS but also
had NBC on cable under fictional calls "KSA". That went off around the early-mid '80s and was replaced
by CANCOM Detroit TV (WDIV, WXYZ). Yep! The Cosby Show at 4PM in the Alaska panhandle! And with
Johnny Carson at 7:30, who needed to stay up late? Also by that time, WOR was fed onto cable TV for
even more entertainment.
I believe you made a mistake with As the World Turns - it would have been on KTVF. I'm guessing All My
Children was live with east coast, but General Hospital was delayed (no OLTL at 10AM).

KWWL’s broadcast of NBC Daytime at the borderline silly. Passions at 10AM and then Days at 4PM with

I also forgot how many ridiculous talk shows were coming in and out in the early 00’s-Caroline Rhea, The

and Van Praagh? Oof some things are best forgotten!
KGAN aired Early Show live at 6AM. Wonder when IPT had finally stopped airing classic Doctor Who on
Friday nights I thought it was 2004(or was it Saturday nights?) They had been a long considered a very
supportive station for the classic program.
Over here in Yakima, KNDO aired Days of Our Lives for *many* years at the 3:00 PM timeslot, on an
hours-old tape delay. I think that ended in the very late '90s.
I grew up in Seattle and vaguely remember Caroline Rhea's show, she was at the 11AM timeslot on KING
5. They always opened the show with 'Sweet Caroline' by Neil Diamond...the audience singing and all.
What's ironic - the talk show that replaced it in 03-04. Ellen! And even with the rocky executive producer
scandal, her show has lasted 18 seasons out of an absolute miracle - and those 12 Days of Giveaways and
silly games.
Rhea was a replacement for Rosie’s show, right down to the fact used the exact same set as Rosie had as
she was Rosie’s hand picked successor.
I loathe that Neil Diamond song glad I don’t remember that at all.
Traverse City never had Caroline Rhea. WPBN, which aired Rosie O'Donnell, landed the local rights to
Oprah and replaced Rosie with Oprah

Surprised 'Smackdown' was on Thursday. I thought that was a Friday thing when UPN carried it. Network
TV was in a weird place at this time. ABC basically went all in on Millionaire which only worked for a
short while, CBS was big on Survivor and NBC was seeing 'Must See TV' weaken. Note that Headline
News was still syndicating at this point.
It says KVII aired All My Children at 1:30am. Was it always this way?
no, KVII moved the show to noon when Jeopardy! moved to KFDA in the fall of 2001

sexual abuse of children. More arrests followied in 1990. In all, the defendants, who will be tried
individually, were charged with 429 offenses. The first trial-Bob Kelly's-is is scheduled to begin in June.
This anatomy of the case includes interviews with lawyers involved in the case, parents who claim that
their children were abused and several of the defendants, the Kellys among them. The two-hour

This was shortly before KOTV dropped The Bold and the Beautiful and pushed back CBS This Morning to
8 AM in favor of more local news. Those changes may have been closer to 1993 and not necessarily at
the same time...memory is fuzzy. KTEN was still a full-on hybrid NBC-ABC affiliate.
Despite what TV Guide listed, KXII was a full CBS station. I believe they aired their last NBC shows in
1984.

My 1974 Nevada edition didn't include them either. Probably people in NE Nevada got the Utah edition,
since edition lines didn't always follow state lines. For example, I have a TV Guide postmarked from
Idaho, but it's of the Eastern Washington edition instead of the Utah-Idaho edition. That's because that
area got Spokane stations.
In 1991, Las Vegas was too small to have four independent stations (that included KVVU, which basically
was still being programmed as an independent). KBLR was really scraping the bottom of the barrel for
programming, with public domain movies (I think "Movie Greats Network" aired on that station) and odd
specials.
Also, I noticed the trend of KVVU and KRLR re-airing their primetime movie late at night. I'm taking the
wild guess that the late-night airing was uncut, at least on KRLR.
It's not that Vegas was too small, it was that there was not enough programming to go around for four
different indies. I can post the weekend schedules soon.
Las Vegas was a slightly smaller market than Tucson in 1991, and the latter didn't have two profitable
indies at that time. I would imagine KVVU and KRLR were both making some kind of money at the time,
but not KFBT (which had a few watchable shows and a lot of infomercials) or KBLR. Running old movies
and low-end product with no infomercials was risky for KBLR, and I don't think they stayed on the air
much longer after this listing under the original ownership.
Looking closer at the movies, it looked like KTNV aired "Movie Greats Network" (unless they had a
separate library of public domain movies) but KBLR ran PD titles that were part of the same package. I'd
like to see the weekend schedule.
KBLR went to Telemundo in 1993, so they would have likely kept the public-domain movies and terrible
programming up until then. I'm surprised they didn't air home shopping part of the day, as a lot of low-
budget indies did that.
I may be wrong, but according to the Television Factbook on worldradiohistory.com, it did not list KBLR in
1993, so I suspect they went dark for some time between these listings and when the station was sold
and became Telemundo. I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

LOL between seeing what WPVI was airing for their Friday late movie, CBS’ dismal line-up, and WPHL,
WTXF, and WGBS reaching to the bottom
of the barrel for some of their syndicated shows you got that right! WCAU airing Cops reruns at 5:00 is
hysterical.
It’s Friday night with a bad 80’s hangover we’re just a few months away from X-Files and Picket Fences
becoming dominant on Friday nights, at least thru the mid 90s.
and channel 10 was first with the “live at 5“ hook for their news. By this point scaled back to 5:30. The
swill on channel 3 gave them a run for their money.
This is why I have never understood why quite a few people over the last 15+ years on this board and
others have said they miss CBS on WCAU or whatever nostalgia they think they have. The final years
weren’t kind at all. WCAU may have been able to steal WPVI’s thunder briefly during the Mendte years
at a time when NBC was at its strongest with ABC at its weakest but that’s about it. Mendte left for KYW
and had success there until it infamously went off the rails but even with that KYW is still a consistent #2.
11th on TV?
LOL I think he was exaggerating. I was trying to find something more recent but this was from last fall
which has KYW overall as #2 but still ahead of WXTF in the 25-54 demo.
My bad. I did not note that this was about the TV version of KYW. .. it is the radio station that is 11th.

Odd that a lot of programs are debuting in October here, as opposed to the traditional third or fourth
week of September. Equally odd is the fact that not one, but two stations in the Hartford market (WHCT,
WTXX) cleared "Fun House"...

Actual lyrics from a Morton Downey, Jr. song, "Old Man," from his 1990 album "Morton Downey, Jr.
Sings." What I wouldn't pay to have a clean MP3 copy of that album...
Equally odd is the fact that not one, but two stations in the Hartford market (WHCT, WTXX) cleared "Fun

Given the state of affairs at WHCT at that time, not unusual at all. The program distributor probably
hadn't been paid, and chose to take their product to another station that would pay for it & clear it.
Which means 18 probably would have run something else in its place (most likely paid programming).
There was a Writer's Strike in the summer of '88, so scripted shows premiered later than usual that fall.

8:00 Star Trek (2 hrs, no further description as to why-11 Alive usually ran movies in the slot)
I recall around this time that stations telecasted the series' two-hour pilot, "The Cage", as a tie-in with
the debut of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" around this time -- could that be it?

And in light of that, maybe WHCT was slow in providing TVG with an updated version of that week's
listings -- hence why you see two "Full Houses".
Did that week's TVG include a disclaimer saying that WHCT's schedules were not firm as of press? I recall
similar disclaimers appearing for the Philly indies in 1983, when WKBS folded, and for WGBS in Philly and
WAYK in Orlando when those stations got into programming trouble.
Not at all. The traffic department posted the schedules & sent them to TVG weeks in advance. However,
many times there would be an update in your mailbox at the station the day before, or even the day of,
with one show crossed out & another in its place.
The animated version of the Ghostbusters movie franchise was known in syndication as The Real
Ghostbusters. The Slimer! and... part was added for season three of the ABC Saturday morning edition.

Star Trek: TNG was entering its second season in the fall of '88.
Ah...I was wondering about that- I thought that they used the Slimer title on the syndied version :D
I'm sure the programming on WTXX from 11:30 PM onward was dumped on them by WFSB...
And as long as we're pointing out that the "Dennis The Menace" program that appears on several
stations is the "animated" version, let's say the same for "COPS." ;D
in South Carolina in Greenville, Love Connection was on between Price is Right and Feud. If I was
program director of a station at the time, I wouldn't put LC between TPIR and Feud.
1. There were a lot better dayparts for it like late afternoon or something
It should be noted that WCVB-TV got the syndication rights for the program in Boston, but ran it on
weekends (three episodes on Saturday, two on Sunday) in order to leave their afternoon lineup intact.
This was the first day WRGB began the ill-fated experiment of airing movies from 3:00-5:00 and
beginning the next day they began airing Guiding Light on a one-day delay at 9:00 AM; the airing of Little
House was filler. The movies lasted only a year tops though Guiding Light would keep airing at 9:00 AM
until 1999 (when then-Regis & Kathie Lee moved over from WNYT and GL moved to 10:00).
Are we sure some of those syndicated programs premiered on Oct 3? I know that "Cosby Show"
did......That was a very big deal, being arguably one of the biggest syndicated rerun premieres of the
decade and I remember it well. However, the syndicated "Family Feud" premiered in other places (like
WCAU in Philly) on September 19...
Oh, and thanks to Bluenoser for posting the first hours of TNT....That was one channel my cable didn't
pick up right away that I really wanted...Had to wait until a year later and switching through the
channels, on the electronic bulletin board, there was a screen of several channel lineup changes: "TNT
on dial position 7". :)
Ironically, WCAU-TV had both The Cosby Show and Family Feud (both daytime and syndicated) on its air
that fall.
As for the Oct. 3 date, I think that had a lot to do with the Summer Olympics, which took place in the
middle of September. It made better sense to hold off on fall premieres until after the Olympics rather
then have those shows preempted for two weeks. (Example: WNBC-TV here in NYC bought the nighttime
Feud and it premiered on Oct. 3 as well.)

I thought Hollywood Squares or Couch Potatoes would be a better fit there if WSPA didn't want to air
NYSI.

When did Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! move from WTSP to WFTS? They ended up moving back to
WTSP in 2012 during the big Scripps syndie shakeup.
Wheel and J! began aired on WFTS for the first time on Monday, September 10, 2007. Here's a story
about the switch, published on the St. Petersburg Times:
https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=feST4K8J0scC&dat=20070910&printsec=frontpage&hl=en
(see page 39)
No. Wheel first aired on WTSP from Fall 1983- Fall 1987. Jeopardy first aired on WXFL (WFLA) from Fall
1984-Jan 1985 until WXFL dropped it for Syndicated Sale of the Century. WTSP picked up Jeopardy in Fall
1985 and then WXFL regained it the next Fall when Syndie SOTC was cancelled. WXFL then picked up
Wheel to pair with Jeopardy in Fall 1987 and then both shows went to WTSP in Fall 1989 until WFTS
picked them up.
Did WXFL make a mistake in dropping Jeopardy for for Syndicated Sale of the Century, since Jeopardy
was starting to become big.

It looks a lot better than that 1993 Friday night schedule we recently dissected. However I snickered
when I saw “Can We Shop Starring Joan Rivers”. Like really? Outside of the cartoon blocks WPHL’s entire
schedule for looks abysmal overall.
Same with KYW airing a trio of ill fated bottom of the barrel talk shows with Rolanda Watts, Vicki
Lawrence and Bertice Berry.
Awful talk shows, so many garbage ”news magazines” and...Real Stories of the Highway Patrol.
Wowwwwww
+1
WTXF overall had a solid schedule plus or minus a few shows. As for Fox Primetime even though Brisco
County Jr. had reached its natural end, the saving grace was reruns of The X-Files that summer brought in
surprisingly higher numbers than anyone at the time could’ve dreamed about for a summer return.
I should give a credit amidst the yikes. KYW’s The Bulletin was excellent long-form local journalism. I
understand all the reasons it wasn’t destined to last, certainly, but much credit to KYW at the time for
undertaking the effort.
These programming directors didn't understand how to program Rush Limbaugh's half-hour foray into TV
(this time, in between two incompatible sitcoms on WTXF).
think perhaps they understood, but didn’t much care/wish to invest more valuable time slots in some
cases. It was a dumping ground.

Like Atlanta, SLC is a market whose CBS affiliate didn't clear the daytime Family Feud but yet the
nighttime syndicated version cleared.
The show KXIV ran at 8am wasn't He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, but its sequel series The
New Adventures of He-Man.

Question about the 1985 schedule. Is Heathcliff the same program as the syndicated cartoon Heathcliff
and the Catillac Cats? I thought the only station that ran that show in NYC was WPIX.
There was also Heathcliff & Dingbat (Heathcliff & Marmaduke in its second season). Heathcliff and
Marmaduke sounds like the worst double bill of all time. You might as well throw in Snuffy Smith while
you're at it.
It was actually Heathcliff the seagull from the Red Skelton show. He got his own animated series after he
split from Gertrude. 😉

Looks like KCCI must have been a 24/7 station at this point (although I've seen sign-ons on YouTube from
1988 and 1991; however, I believe the 1991 one happened on a weekday after CBS News Nightwatch
concluded and the first program the following day started).
That could be I never really thought that they showed it when it was 24/7 but I guess it does make sense
I know that WSPA, the CBS affiliate in Greenville, SC showed the sign-on around 6am between the CBS
Nightwatch/Morning News and local news at least in the early 90's (would have been between 1990 and
1994 when they were using their In the Center of it All slogan and before transitioning from 7 Eyewitness
News to NewsChannel 7). They did not play the National Anthem or America the Beautiful at sign-on but
had the Air Force's Split-Screen SSB for sign-off at least from 1989 to around '91 or '92, possibly until
they went 24 hours daily in 1995).
This is what WTAE, the ABC station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was offering on Saturdays in August

***CORRECTION: KOKI is in Tulsa, NOT Oklahoma City. OKC's Fox affiliate is KOKH.
Here is what WLNY, the independent station in New York, New York, was offering on weekdays in
December 2003. From an archive of the station's website; partial.
10:30 am – Roseanne [possibly the second episode of a back-to-back run]
11 am – Paid Programming
1 pm – Wild America
1:30 pm – CNN Headline News [weird to see this on in the afternoon... most stations aired it around 3
am]
4 pm – The Ellen DeGeneres Show [repeat of episode previously aired on WNBC at (i think) 10am]
8 pm – Movie [on December 29, the movie was Presumed Innocent; on December 30, the movie was
The Great Santini; on December 31, the movie was Midnight Run]
While it is in the New York media market, WLNY-TV is actually licensed to Riverhead, which is about 70
miles east of Midtown Manhattan. Since the station's transmitter is in Suffolk County, most residents of
New York City are only able to watch it through cable or satellite TV.
I remember when the station debuted as WLIG in 1985. It was founded as an independent station with a
10 pm newscast that was dedicated to news about Long Island. Long Island was no longer just a filler
story on a New-York-City-based newscast, it was the top story on what was then called TV-55. Reception
of the analog signal in Lower Manhattan was snowy, but I was able to see the images and hear the
sounds.
Since its takeover by CBS in 2012, WLNY-TV has become more a New York City station than a Long Island
one, with offices and studios in Midtown Manhattan. Also, the station no longer has any news or public
affairs programming that is dedicated to Long Island.
Interesting, thanks for the information.
The 1pm time slot must have been their E/I "checkerboard," as the Wild America reruns were (and still
are) a weekly series meant to satisfy E/I requirements.
Also, getting back to WLNY, it was used as an outlet for the owner to air anti-abortion programs too, as
he was a devout Roman Catholic.
Looks like they aired a special called Abortion: Have We Gone Too Far? in November 2005.
Also - did they have a 5 am morning newscast, or is that just a repeat of the 10 pm broadcast?
In 1996 WLIG changed their call signs to WLNY but not their signal strength to cover the NYC area with
ease.

Here are a few schedules from the now-defunct WKDH, an ABC affiliate in Houston, Mississippi. The
station was owned by Walter Spain, whose father owned Tupelo NBC affiliate WTVA, which made the
two sister stations. WKDH did not produce any local newscasts. Since all of these are partial, I thought I
would post multiple to make up for it. These are all from their old website.'

WWTV in Cadillac, MI used to air a local newscast at 7am and only air the last hour of the Early Show.
When they bought the FOX affiliate, the local 7am hour moved over to that station.
