Hey, Alva! A couple of additions and corrections for you.

• I don't think Gaylord owned any rights to Bravestarr. (They did co-own Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, though.)

• It's KUTP and KTMA, not WUTP and KMTA.

• In my hometown of Cleveland, Filmation's Ghostbusters ran on WOIO 19, not WBNX 55. (Also, the show was originally scheduled for WCLQ 61 before that station became a full time Home Shopping affiliate. Confusing, ain't it?) In Minneapolis it ran on KITN 29, not KTMA 23. And in Indianapolis it ran on WXIN 59, not WTTV 4.

• Similarly, in Orlando, Bravestarr was oringially scheduled for WOFL 35 in Orlando, but went to WKCF 68 instead.

• Also, I have some additions for both series.

NOTE: In a previous post I wrote that Ghostbusters was on KPOL 40 in Tucson. This was a mistake on my part, and I regret the error.
 
More for Ghostbusters!

Here's one for Ghostbusters that I've been meaning to post for a while:

If memory serves, WPAN went dark sometime during the 1986-87 season, at which point the show transferred to WJTC 44 Mobile/Pensacola.
