You Asked For It (Tue, Wed)

WXIA and WEWS Cleveland got in hot water with the
FCC about airing More Real People in access time, since
Real People was still airing on NBC. The FCC decided this
qualified as off-network reruns, prohibited on top-50
market affiliates from 7 to 8 at the time, and forced them to
come up with replacements. (F. Lee Bailey's Lie Detector
was WXIA's choice; I don't know what was on WEWS.)

WTBS--Channel 17(Ind.)

11:05 AM News
12:05 PM People Now

Was this a simulcast of CNN News and was also People Now a simulcast as well? I remember a show called Freeman Reports which aired on TBS before I got cable.
 
No, Tic Tac Dough or Joker's Wild in Atlanta at the time? Did the two shows air in nearby Chattanooga or Macon?

Did WSB bring them back the next season? I think they did.
 
And I saw where WXIA did not air the NBC Daytime WOF at the time. When did WXIA bring back WOF from NBC?.

WXIA should've made room for WOF instead of that crappy Dr. Tom Cottle.

If we had the internet then, we could've saved many game shows from being missing from many markets.
 
I am sorry, but I did not know that WATL had daytime WOF until I saw the listings. I think WXIA did start to carry it later on.
 
I don't think Joker's Wild or Tic Tac Dough aired in
either Chattanooga or Macon at the time, but I've
forgotten. WSB did bring them back, airing them
from 10 to 11 in the morning.

About a year or so after this, Channel 11 did
put Wheel Of Fortune back on; it might have
been sooner. They moved Search For Tomorrow
to 10:30 AM and inserted an hour-long local show,
Noonday, from 12 to 1. They also carried Dream
House at 11:30 in 1983, by which time Wheel had
moved to 11 AM. So I know Wheel was back on
11 sometime in '83. 11 was also first to carry the
syndicated version; it's gone back and forth between
there and WAGA, but 11's had it since around 1996.

Wednesday's scheduled game(Atlanta at St. Louis) was called off after 4 innings, and rescheduled in prime time the next night. The rest of that series was eventually played at night, so Wednesday was the only day when the afternoon schedule was pre-empted.(ABC had to do a bit of schedule-juggling that week, as there were two postponed games in that playoff series.)
 
What was "So You Think You Got Troubles" besides ungrammatical? I think Dr Joyce Brothers was involved? For that matter, what was "Romance Theatre" about? I don't really recall that one either. Neither one lasted long, so can anyone fill us in? Anyone?
 
I don't remember much about either one but, IIRC, "So You Think
You've Got Troubles" had Jay Johnson and his puppet Squeaky dealing
with people's problems; I think "Romance Theatre" was one of those
five-part stories each week formats, similar to radio's "Aunt Jenny's True-Life
Stories," the '50s NBC show "Modern Romances," or the first year of
the soap "The Doctors" (1963-64).
 
I was glad to see that period where WTBS started shows at 5 minutes past the hour go away. Can you imagine if it had caught on and half the stations today were doing it......what a mess? Then another station would say let's start our shows at 10 minutes after, etc......or how about 3 minutes after?

What Bozo on Vodka came up with that bright idea?

Ted Turner, of course -- he did that so not only would its listings stick out in TV Guide, but also so viewers could stay tuned to the station instead of changing the dial. Also, viewers tuning in to WTBS wouldn't have to miss the start of the next program.

TV Land (and other channels) periodically do this today, without bothering to tell anybody... ::)
