Well I see not much changed between Jan 87 and Jan 88, although I do see Atlanta's big three giving more time to morning newscasts, they started taking off in the late 80s and early 90s.

11 AM Who's The Boss? (pre-empted
on Ch. 2)
6 PM Silver Spoons
7 PM Family Ties

Looks like WATL was airing the worst of 80s sitcoms in reruns...and WVEU was stuck with the king of bad 80s sitcoms...

6:30 Crook & Chase

This one surprises me. I knew they had their TV show together on the old TNN network and it aired in syndication in some areas, but I had no idea it was that old. I thought it came about in the mid-90s.
