UHFs on a separate thread.
 
About the 3:30 timeslot on CBS...I know by February 1980 Guiding Light took over the slot but didn't CBS have MASH reruns(or was it One Day At A Time?) programmed for it? When did they drop the All in the Family reruns?

All In The Family reruns on CBS ended in September 1979.
M*A*S*H reruns on CBS started in September 1978 and ended in September 1979.
One Day At A Time reruns on CBS started in September 1979.
 
All In The Family moved to 10 AM the very next week
(Monday, September 4), with M*A*S*H taking over the
3:30 slot. That lasted until the fall of 1979, when the
new Monty Hall version of Beat The Clock began airing
at 10 AM, and One Day At A Time at 3:30.

Guiding Light moved to 3 PM on February 4, 1980, the
same day The Young And The Restless went to an hour.
The Jeffersons began airing at 10 AM that day.
