NOTES about stations:
At the time of these listings, KLMN-TV/24 (CBS) in Fort Smith, Ark. has been on the air for about a month and a half. Since the early '70s, KFPW had been the primary CBS affiliate for Fort Smith, with satellite KTVP coming along to serve Fayetteville in late 1977. KFPW and KFSM (formerly KFSA) had maintained secondary ABC affiliations prior to KFPW/KTVP becoming exclusively ABC in the fall of 1978.
KMOS-TV/6 in Sedalia is off the air, not to return until December of 1979. Prior to August of 1978, KMOS had been a satellite of KRCG/13 (CBS) in Jefferson City. KRCG’s owner donated KMOS to Central Missouri State University for use as a stand-alone PBS station. CMSU took KMOS off the air (presumably in August 1978) for extensive upgrades before re-launching the station as the PBS affiliate for the Columbia-Jefferson City market.
