I started a new thread asking some questions, prior to the listings being straightened up and flown right. I'll repeat them here.

* * *
A few observations and questions (re. WABC-TV's schedule):
(1) Wasn't the 11 P.M. EWN also co-anchored by Grimsby and Beutel?
(2) I know the Best of Broadway title for their late-night/early morning movies was in use as early as 1963 (prior to then it was The Night Show); when did their weeknight movie change to The Movie Matinee (or The Matinee Movie, my memory's hazy at this point; I do know by 1972 or so that newer title was well in place). The question also applies to the first adoption of the Saturday / Sunday Night Movie title for their late-night weekend movie shows.
(3) As to the long-running theme music used not only for The 4:30 Movie but also their other movie umbrellas, is there anyone out there who would have any idea as to where it originated from? One of the British music libraries, or one of the U.S. music composers (along the lines of a music cue from future Hawaii Five-O theme writer Morton Stevens for the failed 1967 pilot Call to Danger which was used for many years from 1973 until the late 1980's for the "CBS Special Presentation" openings)?

* * *
On another tangent - I seem to recall this was less than a week before WOR-TV inaugurated a regular nightly newscast, initially at 7:30 P.M. and anchored by once-and-future WNBC-TV newsman Bill Ryan, for the first time since the February 1969 premiere of the ill-fated (for New York) Stock Market Observer, which seemed to have more legs in Chicago (where it ran on WCIU-TV, Ch. 26 to the '80's); during the interim stretch the only regular news reports Ch. 9 seemed to have were only on sign-on and sign-off, from their various stable of announcers (including, in this period, Russ Dunbar, Phil Tonken, Ted Mallie, Frank McCarthy, and probably WPIX-FM disc jockey Cable Spence). As for WNEW-TV, wasn't this just prior to the debut of Midday Live?

WOW! What a lineup!

I'd watch any of those channels all day long versus much of what's offered now. With shows and choices like those, who really needs 200+ channels on digital cable? Even with all of those channels, there's less to watch over the course of one week than I see here in one day. It's why, when I was a kid, we were perfectly happy with 4 or 5 channels. We didn't have 200 channels and we didn't need them. Today we do. Sorry if it makes me sound old (I'm not that old!) - but I just had to point this out.
