Some intriguing listing here:
Connie Stevens on "American Bandstand"? What reason could they have her as a guest?
I'll assume Ch. 13 aired the CFL as a syndicated program, because the CFL's stints on network TV were blink-and-you'll miss it. How long did the CFL last in syndie?
Why so many stations airing "All in the Family", far and away the top rated show in 1972, out of its usual slot?

The CFL on Ch. 13 was syndicated...Ch. 13 even had an ad for the game in this issue of TV Guide.

The delayed broadcasts of "All in the Family" and some of the other sitcoms on Saturday night really had nothing to do with the popularity of the show(s), but the affiliates wanting to use them in the access slot (6:30-7:00 PM) on weeknights. Affiliates, such as KUHI-TV in Joplin, could run a 2-hour movie on Saturday night, sell all the commercial time locally, and then run the preempted network shows on 4 of the 5 nights the following week. KOLR was doing something similar, as well. KFPW could stick "Hee Haw" at 6:30 on Saturday, and then have a 30-minute show to plug into a weeknight 6:30 slot. Incidentally, it was pulling a programming stunt similar to this (not necessarily with AITF) that cost KXLY-TV in Spakane, WA its CBS affiliation in 1976.

KOTV's motivation during this time period was the fact that the station ran an hour-long newscast at 6PM on weeknights. On Tuesdays in 1972, CBS was running prime-time from 6:30 to 9:30 PM, instead of 7 to 10, and CBS had an hour-long show on Tuesday at 6:30. KOTV tape-delayed the Tuesday 6:30 CBS show to Saturday at 6:30, and then ran "All in the Family" at 7PM on Tuesday after the local news to fill to the next network show at 7:30.

I'm fairly certain KGTO ran AITF on delay simply because it was depending on off-air pickups for network shows, and none of the CBS affiliates around it ran AITF at the scheduled network time. Therefore, KGTO had to run AITF whenever its off-air source for CBS ran it. That's my own guess, but since KGTO ran a show like "American Angler" on Saturday night at 7, it signals to me the station didn't have a choice.
 
Great answer Steve! I'd forgotten the first year or two of access time was all over the map, before being fixed at 7:30-8pm ET.
 
OT, but related: I recently bought a book about San Francisco TV horror host Bob Wilkins and his 'Creature Features' horror-movie show. The book consists entirely of old TV Guide pages, many featuring the ads for the show, as well as for other programs.
From that book, I saw that CFL games were indeed syndicated from at least 1971 to '73, on either Friday or Saturday nights. (I'd guess that when the short-lived World Football League started in '74, at least some of those stations ditched the CFL games for the new league, which also followed a 'late summer into mid-autumn' schedule.
