Hmmm. Some differences with the listings I have for the day.

I have Replay instead of Badminton for CBHT/CBCT.
Reach For the Top instead of Sunspots on CBCT.
And Theatre Canada instead of SFX for CHSJ.

And the baseball on CBAFT was California @ Minnesota. Simulcast with NBC but with French announcers.

Listings were posted as published...what sources have you got?
 
I wonder if Star Trek was considered "Canadian content" since both Kirk and Scotty were Canadians and both were alumni of the CBC's version of Howdy Doody.

Then again, was Bonanza, starring "The Voice of Canada" (aka "The Voice of Doom") also "Canadian content?"

It's been awhile, but certainly the Halifax Chronicle-Herald and either the Telegraph Journal or Moncton Times. Chronicle-Herald's listings for CBCT were sparse (usually wrapped into CBHT's); your source's listings for CBCT probably are the correct ones.

CBCT was (and still is) essentially a semi-satellite for CBHT, but had more space for local programming in those days...
