Retro: St. Louis - Monday, March 25, 1996

[RandTV]

I was visiting St. Louis from California that time, watching the Academy Awards that night. This is dedicated in loving memory of Barbara Walters whose namesake interview specials on ABC came before the Oscars (Eastern and Central) or after them (Mountain and Pacific).

Oddly, KTVI kept their late news at 10pm after moving from ABC to FOX and opted to run syndicated programming in the 9pm hour

1995-96 season might've held the record of the most syndicated talk show titles, in which I counted 21 of them!

they also aired to the Fox Kids line up to get it away from Rev Larry, but they ran it when kids were in school

The Academy Awards ceremony probably ran far longer than three hours!

Supposedly, you can actually bet on how long the ceremony will run.

With the Oscars now on a Sunday, the Motion Picture Academy should consider starting the ceremony at 7 P.M. ET (4 P.M. local in Los Angeles), preceded by a 90-minute "Red Carpet" show and followed by a post-ceremony wrap up that runs from the end of the show until 11:30 ET/8:30 PT.

I'm pretty sure it did. Usually, when it comes to awards shows and sports games, subqesquent program times that I list are appoximate.

He turned down UPN's affiliation offer due to its objectionable content (to his point of view, at least). KNLC did obtain secondary UPN affiliation from 1999-2000, as well as with WB affiliate KPLR.

the rule says they can't end before midnight in NY, they need those musical fillers

they let him pick and choose what to air during the brief affiliation, which wasn't much besides STV
