WMUR running ABC SUnday Morning Cartoon leftovers at 6 PM is unusual. The other 30 minute leftover proabably ran in the 7 AM hour Saturday morning. WMUR did seem to carry the entire ABC slate. WCVB was horrible with preemptions. I guess WMUR was making up for Channel 5 there. WNAC was also not running CBS Sunday Morning Cartoon leftovers at that point. At some points they indeed did. Very few CBS affiliates ran CBS Sunday Morning cartoons. But most ABC affiliates did run the leftovers.

NO 3 Stooges on WSBK SUnday Morning??? That was a long time tradition. I thought that dated back to the early 70's. Maybe it did not go as far back as I thought.

Would love a weekday schedule as well as a Saturday one. This predates the sign of on 25 WXNE. That station initially was an also ran that evolved to a decent station by 1982 and quite a good station by 1986 right before they sold that to Fox. It took time for them to get the good shows that WSBK and WLVI did not decide to renew. By 1982 though WXNE was beginning to win bids for newly syndicated shows and by 1986 they were at least a major player.
