This brings back memories! I was a master control operator at WHLL during the early 1990's, although I did have a 6 month hiatus around this time which may explain some discrepancies. On Saturday nights, I always recall Showtime At The Apollo airing at 11pm and CNN Headline News airing at 1:00am. Looks like they snuck in an "infomercial" at 11:30 so maybe they tweaked the schedule (very common). But at least they kept 12 O'Clock High" at 12 O'Clock AM!
