Actually, they're both local -- CBS still had "Merv Griffin" for another three months before switching to movies.

Yes; it was NBC's occasional news magazine show.

NBC's 1971 revival, which was taped in Ottawa.

CBS's 1971 revival, anchored by Walter Cronkite and featuring CBS News reporters in modern day suits interviewing polotical figures of the past. I used to watch films of the 1971 version (and the earlier 1950s version) in elementary and middle school.

> 1:00 Childrens Film

...Festival, hosted by Kukla, Fran and Ollie.

4:00 NCAA Football (Game not listed, two days after
Oklahoma/Nebraska)

The 4:00 pm EST game was Auburn (9-0) vs. Alabama (10-0) at Legion Field in Birmingham. 'Bama won 31-7, two days after Auburn QB Pat Sullivan (now the offensive coordinator at UAB) was announced as the Heisman Trophy winner.

It is INDEED bowling. Beat the Champ was a long time local bowling show on Channel 4, first hosted by Chuck Healy, then Van Miller following Healy's retirement. The show ended its run in the late 80s, some 30 plus years after its debut. The weekly contest was simple--two players in a three game, total pin match. Whoever won came back the next week.
