'Quincy' and 'Gold Monkey' had been cancelled and the 'nets were burning off reruns or remaining episodes at this point. CBS had a particularly weak scheduled for this night at this time.
 
So it appears no As the World Turns at that time in Pittsburgh and Capitol on a one day delay.
 
Yes, that was the same “Prisoner: Cell Block H” that was retitled in the United States and other countries outside Australia. It was also called “Caged Women” in Canada for legal reasons.
 
Match Game was likely in reruns as it had gone out of production the previous year. WPXI would air the reruns in 1985 and 1986.

Stations were still hanging on to "Mary Tyler Moore" from 1977 - those must have been long contracts. WPXI might have still had the rights to it at this time, but it never did well in reruns.

Independent stations were fun back in those days.
