According to TVG, KTVU and KMST ran different episodes in the time slot...
 
Something's off with KTVU. The list shows Creature Features at 9:00 with sign-off at 11:00. Unless it was some unusual situation requiring a special early sign off, no major market station in 1973 would have signed off at 11:00.

I believe Creature Features always started at 11:00, so sign off would have followed that at 1:00ish.

TVG had it listed at 9 (and KTVU had an ad for the movie in TVG that week), so I have no idea what the story is there...the movie was the last program listed ???
 
As a longtime Bay Area resident, I find those listings fascinating, especially KRON having Dick Van Dyke and Petticoat Junction....not to mention Doctor Who! I was ubder the impression that tshow didn't air in the US til about 1978 on commercial channels, with PBS getting it around 1980.
