This is quite an interesting question, as it seemed
that CBS had the weakest influence overs its station,
certainly where FTN is concerned. Even here in the LA
area, where CBS among others are O&O's, FTN has been
bounced around in the nearly 35years I've lived in this
market. Generally it runs just after CBS Sunday
Morning, but over the years the 30minute version had
run at 730AM, 830AM, 9AM, 930AM, and several halfhour
slots from 4-530PM, as well as 1145PM. Sure
all these Sunday shows have had many slots, but now all
of them run at 8-AM for an hour. Since the 1hour
version began, there were times the LAtimes TV section
through Zap2it had the wrong time. Now as to the
question of MC Glaughlin Group. I discovered this show
on KOCE a PBS station in 1984. Concurrently KNBC
was taking a GE sponsored version sometimes within an
hour of the KOCE broadcast. 1 evening I ran my tape of
the full show-and-realized it had 1 extrea issue,
containing 3&1half minutes of program. Eventually KCET
got it-and-now runs it Friday evening at 930PM,
Saturday evening at 630PM. KOCE has it Fridays at
730PM. We also have some airings on PBS World on KOCE
50.4 A much nicer discussion show is Inside-Washington,
which also airs on PBS, but I think produced out of
WJLA
