I don't remember any "Noonday On Eight" on WGHP, and
I worked there about a year or so later. I recall they carried
ABC's entire daytime schedule in-pattern except for "Edge Of
Night," which they pre-empted, from about 1979 to 1983, when
they moved "Family Feud" to 10 AM and started a noon newscast.

Though I've never really left, thanks for the welcome back.

You're right, and that was an error on my part. I was cutting-and-pasting from a previous schedule I posted. WGHP did run Family Feud at noon, followed by Ryan's Hope at 12:30. The "Noonday on Eight" was from WGAL-TV in Lancaster.

Some other observations from this schedule:
1. Tom and Jerry must have made its syndicated premiere in the fall of '79, and it must have been a big deal based on the clearances it got.

2. What the heck was Group W doing at WPCQ? Were they even trying to make an effort to compete with WBTV and WSOC? I would dare say WPTF's schedule looked lightly better than WPCQ, and they preempted less.

3. How long did WBTW strip religious programs in the 7 AM hour?

4. WHKY looked like it was programmed pretty well back then. Were they/have they ever targeted Charlotte?

5. Does anyone know of any other stations that ran "Pat" Robertson and the Bakkers back-to-back?
 
Re: Good Morning Jesus on WBTW, WVNY (then WEZF-TV) Burlington/Plattsburgh ran it at 7am too, leading into GMA around the same period.

5:00 - Superheroes (what was this show about?)

This was probably the package of cheaply animated second tier Marvel heroes that was produced and syndicated starting in the mid-sixties (1966, AFAIK). The featured characters were Captain America, Iron Man, The Might Thor, The Sub-Mariner, and The Incredible Hulk.
 
Rollo-Smokes said:
5. Does anyone know of any other stations that ran "Pat" Robertson and the Bakkers back-to-back?
...can't answer the question, but it's not too unusual an idea, considering that Jim Bakker was the original host of The 700 Club in syndication from 1966 to 1972; Bakker's announcer on The PTL Club, Henry Harrison, served the same function during Bakker's years and Robertson's earliest months on 700 before Ben Kinchlow replaced him...
 
@Texas Tom - Now that you mentioned it, I vaguely remember watching this show myself. It turns out that it was produced by the same folks responsible for the Spider-Man series from the same time frame. Here's some info on it at Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Marvel_Super_Heroes).

@Ultimajock - I thought The 700 Club was syndicated only to CBN's broadcast stations (Hampton Roads, Dallas-Fort Worth and Atlanta) prior to 1975 or so, covering Jim Bakker's time as host.

... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_700_Club indicates the syndication started in 1966; whether it was restricted to Robertson's owned stations or made available to others prior to '75 isn't noted, tho I suspect, having first seen The 700 Club in '75 as a Saturday night lead-out to AWA All-Star Wrestling on WLUK/11 Green Bay, that's when the first major push to distribute the show into previously unaffiliated markets took place...

This was within the first few months of Group W's eventually ill-fated ownership of the station, which they bought from Ted Turner in 1980 (under Turner's ownership, it was WRET; he used the proceeds from the sale to start up CNN). Unfortunately, Westinghouse essentially turned the station into a cheapo dump, to the point where it took many years (and a succession of owners) to build it up again. There's a little piece on the station's disastrous stint under Group W here.

A point of trivia -- Grantray-Lawrence Animation only produced the first season of the sixties Spiderman series. After the first season, Grantray-Lawrence Animation went out of business and production for Spiderman was taken over by Ralph Bakshi. With that transition, the style and feel of the showed changed significantly.
