On WATL, Jonny Quest, Godzilla and Flash Gordon were delayed from Saturday on NBC as WXIA pre-empted them.
 
And I made a mistake. It was WSB that pre-empted those shows. The station hadn't made the switch to ABC yet (they would on Labor Day) and it'd be a week or so when they and WXIA parceled out NBC and ABC daytime shows to each other.
