With the seemingly "throw it in the air and see where it lands"
pattern of prime time scheduling still being followed, it appears
shows were still being shipped to Hawaii for airing x-number of
days--if not a week or more--late.

In addition to MNF, is it safe to say that limited satellite time
was used for topical programming such as the morning yakfests
(Today, GMA) and the evening newscasts which were now at
5, 5:30 or 6 (instead of late-night)?

IIRC, this was still a couple of years before the TV nets switched
from Telco lines to sat feeds for distribution on the mainland. AT&T
had, circa 1977-78, upgraded the audio bandwidth from 5 to 15 kHz.
 
To my knowledge I don't think we had same-day network programming until the mid to late 1980s.

Where did you find the Hawaii edition of the tv guide? I'm always on the lookout for stuff like this.

The serials department at the Hawaii State Library in Honolulu. I made copies off microfiche but they only had the 1968 to 1981 reels. They also had a New York City Metro edition from 1953 to 1966 as well. I want to get more copies but given the time and the library's hours, not to mention the furloughs thats been hitting the state lately, I'm going to be taking my time on what I can post on this topic. I have to say that Hawaii's TV history does have something to offer in terms of local programming and scheduling.

BTW I just moved to Honolulu, so thats when I got curious about Hawaii's TV past.

It was mentioned earlier that Hawaii didn't even get their own edition of TV Guide until 1968:

http://boards.radio-info.com/smf/index.php?topic=162105.0
 
The September 7, 1968 issue, to be exact, along with a introduction from the publishers who invited Hawaiians to enjoy "the world's most read magazine" (their words, in print) and had set up local offices in Honolulu on Ala Moana Boulevard, which no long exists.

Interesting. I often am in the basement making copies of the Aloha Week edition of the newspapers off microfiche, the quality is never any good. I'll have to look at the serials section, thanks for the tip. Could you email me via the link located at the bottom of this story.
