Interesting that Hawaii still didn't have an English language independent station as late as 1972. Only Asian languages KIKU 13.

The NET station didn't bother to sign on over the weekend. I know they didn't have classroom programs to run during the day. But I thought most NET stations by 1972 ran a prime time schedule on weekends.

And no one ran a late evening newscast. The ABC and CBS stations ran only a 6pm newscast. And Roger Mudd's CBS News ran at 1:30am. The NBC station didn't have any news at all.

Hawaii was a relatively small TV market in the 1970s - maybe in the Top 100 but not very high. It probably couldn't support an English-language independent.

The NET station didn't bother to sign on over the weekend. I know they didn't have classroom programs to run during the day. But I thought most NET stations by 1972 ran a prime time schedule on weekends.

Probably too expensive to fly the tapes over from LA. Satellites were used only for live events (mostly sports).

Even stateside, some PBS stations (PBS replaced NET in 1970) were still off the air on weekends, or at least one day a week. From past schedules, at this time, WTCI Chattanooga, WETV (WPBA) Atlanta, WTVI Charlotte and the UNC-TV network were still off on weekends. Same with WUSF in Tampa, though they are off when college is not in session, meaning weekends, holidays, the whole summer and probably a couple weeks in December and a week in spring; it'll be around 1974-1975 when WUSF would begin year-round seven-day service.

Satellites: 3-KMAU/Wailuku & 9-KPUA/Hilo

5PM Don Rickles (Sketches involving political image making with James Gregory as a guest)

...was this a rerun of Rickles' 1968-69 ABC variety show? His then-current CBS series was a domestic sitcom...

That WAS the CBS version, but TV Guide made it sound like his variety series. The description reads like this:

"A poke at political image-making: Veteran heavy James Gregory plays a cowboy actor itching for a Senate seat; Don is the eager ad man pitched to sell the candidate"

TV Guide had a notice about the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament in which the UH Rainbow (Warriors) are involved and if they survived the playoffs KHON would pre-empt shows to carry the games. Unfortunately, they lost in the quarterfinals to Weber State 64-91 on March 11, 1972. Weber State would later be defeated by UCLA, who won the Championship that year.

Would KHON-2 have used a satellite to feed the network broadcast of the game live to Hawaii, or would tapes have been flown back, meaning a same-day, but late-night, broadcast of the game??

KHON would've use satellite feed to either air it live or tape the game off the live feed and then air it hours later the same day, depending on their schedule, since the West Regional Quarterfinals was played in Provo, Utah on March 11, 1972, and given Hawaiians' loyalty to UH and their sporting programs, they would like to see it in action now rather than later.

The game aired in Pocatello, Idaho as I recall and I have part of the game on 2 inch quad. I co-produced the 2007 documentary on the UH Basketball team called the "Fabulous Five"; they were the most successful UH hoops team we have ever had.
