Ah, yes. I was just returning to work after two weeks recuperating from an appendectomy.
 
When I have a schedule in this format, it's because doing it station-by-station would often exceed the 10,000 character limit when there's two affiliates of each of the networks (San Francisco and Sacramento).
 
There must have been a lot of TV channel tuning knobs getting a workout that afternoon between 1 and 4 P.M., switching between the 'Niners and Raiders games.

From what I've read in your replies regarding sports, I take it you're a big-time sports fan.
