I see where WTNH and WPRI's morning ABC line-ups don't match WCVB, who delays some of the shows. But there is error present. Scooby-Doo Classics (chs. 8 and 12, 9 AM, paired with Fonz & The Happy Days Gang) aired only four weeks at the start of the 1981-82 season as a stop-gap due to the Laverne & Shirley cartoon being delayed.
 
I see channel 30 of New Britain/Hartford carried the Connecticut Lottery Daily Numbers/Play 4 drawing then! Today, all in-state drawings and the multi-state Lucky For Life game (which Connecticut conducts the drawings for) are aired by WCCT-TV (CW) channel 20 of Waterbury/Hartford. Drawings have been aired there or by sister station WTIC-TV (FOX) channel 61 of Hartford since 1997. I believe the drawings are done at the WTIC-TV studios on Broad Street in Hartford.

Shouldn't that be "Broad Street of Hartford"? ;)

Saturday morning still for cartoons. Not a bad time for TV.
