Just an interesting note, it looks like KMBC aired the short-lived syndicated soap Rituals in favor of the Edge of Night, which at this point was on it's way out the door(last show aired Dec. 28th 1984)
 
When did channels 29 and 38 sign on? I noticed there were no listings for them.

KMCI 38 signed on in 1988. It wasn't until 1996 when 29 signed under the call letters of KCWB as a WB station. In 1998 they swapped WB for UPN and became KCWE. Ironically, they are now the CW station(since the call letters CW don't refer to the network as they came long before someone dreamed the WB/UPN merger up.)

It appears Channel 62 aired Edge of Night instead, showing it at 9 AM...

By the way, am I reading correctly, or was Bewitched actually running for 50 minutes on Channel 41? Did they sell that much ad time for that show?

Now I can understand your station not having a news department... However, if I were the head of ABC and saw that listing I've put in boldface on one of my affiliates' schedules, I would be insulted.

In the mid-late '80s, KSHB ran their reruns from 8:30 a.m. to noon under the umbrella title "A.M. Live." Interviews and other local talk-show-ish elements were on during commercial breaks and in between shows. For quite a while, it was hosted by Julie Lux, who was their PD as well as the AM host.

It was supposed to be a counterpoint to 41's "All Night Live," which worked under a similar formula, but didn't last as long.
