I would like to know what the exact ABC Saturday morning schedule was between September-December 1991, because my newest source (The TV Guide Guide to TV) is a pretty good reference but not good enough IMO. I'm pretty sure the Weekend Special was still airing at 12:30pm at the time, but a real schedule from New York would be good confirmation IMO.

ABC Saturday Morning 1991-92
- Thread starter RALfan
- Start date
These are from the New York Metropolitan editions of <u>TV Guide</u> from that period that are in my collection. Note that ABC's NCAA football coverage frequently pre-empted the Noon hour on the East Coast, and if the network didn't have regional coverage during that hour, the affiliates (including WABC-TV, which ran Big East football back then) may have carried a game at that time.
8:00 - The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
8:30 - The Land of the Lost (the new version)
9:00 - Darkwing Duck
9:30 - Beetlejuice
10:00 - Hammerman (the M.C. Hammer cartoon)
10:30 - The Pirates of Dark Water
11:00 - The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show
(for whatever reason, <u>TV Guide</u> broke the listing for this show into separate half-hours)
**Noon - Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters
**12:30 - The ABC Weekend Special
**In New York (and I'd assume in other Eastern areas), the Noon hour was seen on Sunday morning, except on weeks when ABC's football coverage started at Noon. WABC-TV slotted these shows at 10:00 and 10:30, respectively.
When college football season ended, the schedule was altered, with Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters trading time slots with Hammerman.<P ID="signature">______________

Pre-empting Hammerman and Pirates of Dark Water, obviously. A network flagship could get away with that???

WCBS offered the networks 4pm offerings at 1pm and later at 12pm after CBS starting programming the 1pm slot in 1980. WNBC may have did the same with the 4pm NBC offerings as NBC did not program the 1pm until 1978.

I think he meant 10:00 and 10:30 on Sunday morning.<P ID="signature">______________

Yes I did, and in hindsight my wording may have been a bit confusing.
Basically, the Noon (ET)/11 AM (CT/PT)/10 AM (MT) hour was pre-empted across the whole network when ABC football coverage started at that time.
An ABC O&O, or an affiliate that normally carried any pre-empted programs could run them later on Saturday afternoon (the West Coast) or Sunday morning (the East Coast), as schedules permitted.<P ID="signature">______________
