The 20-minute workout takes 30 minutes. That's like saying it takes 90 minutes to watch 60 Minutes.

> WATL Ch. 36 (Ind.)
> 2:30 Super Pay Cards
----------
Is this the same version that was produced in Canada?

That's the name of the show. Of course, when you exclude
commercials, credits, and extraneous chatter, you're closer
to 20 minutes than 30.

The same. Art James and Mary Lou Basaraba were host and
hostess.

Was this a national newscast produced by CNN or local Atlanta news? I'm thinking it was CNN Headline News labeled as the TBS Evening News.

If memory serves it was produced by CNN. Turner, apparently,
figured that since his "superstation" was national, there ought
to be a national newscast. Contrast with WGN, which has always
had local Chicago news on its 9 PM (CT) newscast, although I
believe WGN had Independent Network News, which was produced
by sister station WPIX/11 New York.

If my memory is correct, INN aired at 9:30pm CT on WGN, after the 9 O'Clock News. It wasn't until INN went off the air that WGN expanded the 9pm news to an full-hour.
