I believe ABC had their Saturday kidvid preview the next evening.
 
I believe Channel 48 put Adam 12 at 7 PM for a double run beginning that week - putting Star Trek to weekends as well. Channel 29 resumed 7 AM or earlier sign ons that next Monday. In Philadelphia Channels 48 and 29 had before 7 AM sign ons during the fall but after Christmas they reverted to 9 or 10 AM sign ons from 1974 to 1977. CHannel 29 would continue pre 7 AM sign ons from then going forward starting that Monday the 12th. Channel 48 though would revert to 10 AM sign ons December 19 and would not resume 6 AM sign ons until Labor Day 1978. After that they too continued early morning sign ons. Channel 17 would begin 7 AM sign ons in the fall of 1978.
