WQXI (WXIA) Ch. 11 (ABC)

7 AM Bullwinkle (delay from Sunday
11 AM)

...or possibly not. I recall that around this time WLUK/11 Green Bay ran half-hour blocks of the syndicated "Rocky & His Friends" 15-minute package version of the same cartoons on weekday mornings, and the Oshkosh Daily Northwestern would publish it as being "Bullwinkle" in its TV listings, even though WLUK was also running the weekend "Bullwinkle Show" from ABC in network feed pattern...

 

[bpatrick]

In this case, it was a delay. Ch. 11 had a local
public-affairs show, "Countdown From Eleven,"
on Sundays at 11 AM. By 1972 Bullwinkle and
the rest of ABC's Sunday-morning kids' block was
airing in pattern in Atlanta, however, and that
continued for a couple of years until the station
decided to go after more money with paid religion.
