3:00 Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara was a little more than a year away at this point; "Fantasy" was the 3pm offering, cancelled in October 1983 to make room for "The Match Game-Hollywood Squares" hour. THAT, in turn, would be replaced by SB in July '84.

Oddly while show was on NBC ( WKYC in Cleveland ) Dorothy Fuldheilm worked at WEWS..an ABC affiliate. Wonder if she promoted WEWS on...well WKYC?

I know in some markets the idea of an employee of theirs making an appearance anywhere ( local or network ) on the competition is "taboo" while in others..it's like who cares. I assume Cleveland fell into the latter back then.

The irony in that is, The Tonight Show actually aired on WEWS Channel 5 in Cleveland from the late 1950's to fall 1965 - during the period when Westinghouse owned Channel 3 and used their own KYW-TV calls on it (the WKYC call letters were derived from the radio station's slogan in the final years of Group W stewardship, "KY-Cleveland"), and within the first months of NBC being forced back to the city after the FCC's reversal of the 1956 Group W/NBC license swap involving Philadelphia and Cleveland stations.
