Double Dare (the Goodson-Todman version) debuted on this date on CBS.

The big TV news on this date was on the front page: Six Million Dollar Man finds priceless corpse in amusement park.

Surprised to see Green Bay listings across the lake in the Ludington MI paper. Would the over-water path make fringe reception better than usual?

In the very early days of TV (prior to Michigan going EDT and WGTU signing on), Mason County may have been in the Green Bay market. Same with Manistee County to the north. Channels 2, 5, and 11 were carried on Charter in Ludington until early 2009. Milwaukee stations were dropped earlier. Manistee lost GB stations (and WZZM) in the early 1990s (Manistee and Ludington, although both served by Charter now, used to be served by different cable providers [Ludington came from Bresnan while Manistee and points north and east (Cadillac, Traverse City, etc.) came from Cable Michigan]). Also, for years, Ludington didn't have local ABC WGTU or any WB/CW affiliate on cable.

Note that all of these stations (except WGVC) have the exact same calls nearly 40 years later! Another note is that a few Green Bay radio stations have had listeners on the Michigan side of Lake Michigan (most notably 99.7 Sturgeon Bay when it was Wild 99.7 in the mid 2000s)
