I'm relatively sure that the UCLA-USC basketball game was part of the TVS syndication package. Growing up in Birmingham, all of the stations that carried the TVS package that were listed in our edition of TV Guide were NBC affiliates (13 in Birmingham, 31 in Huntsville, 15 in Florence and 4 in Nashville). I notice that two of the three stations carrying the game in this edition were NBC affiliates as well. I guess my question is did TVS give NBC affiliates the right of first refusal to carry the package?

I can't answer your question...I was 2 years old in February 1973. However, if I had to guess, I would say that it was a coincidence that it was NBC affiliates that carried the TVS package in your area. Do you (or anyone else) have any idea why TVS would favor NBC affiliates?
