Forgot to put in '4:00' for "Barnaby Jones".
 
If you're wondering why WFXT is airing a daily mass, it's a leftover from its previous stint as a CBN station (which in some ways is as unusual as it airing on a secular station, but I digress...).
Plus kudos to WSBK for getting a 3 year old hit movie ("Baby Boom"). Your average indie TV station aired a lot creakier movies in prime time.
