...did WBIR have something against airing a Sesame Street special, by any chance? ;D ...also, interesting to see which stations ran Juke-Box. It was actually a re-edited (by American International Television) version of the London Weekend Television pop music (mainly glam rock) show Supersonic from 1975-77 http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/series/21310 with links edited in featuring Twiggy. They tried to move a second season of the thing, but Twiggy quit, so they hired Britt Ekland to emcee and used mostly generic video clips rather than the LWT material...
 
It does seem strange that WBIR would pre-empt the
"Sesame Street' special (don't know it they aired it
on delay), but the station pre-empted "Wonder Woman"
on Fridays at 8 and apparently wasn't going to give up
the revenue from syndicated reruns of "Gunsmoke" even
for "Sesame Street."
 
I can't say, since I don't know what you think it is,
nor did I ever see either the program or that station.
It sounds like either "dream matchups" (sort of like
a computer simulation that was done to determine
the best baseball team of all time) or using the computer
to predict the outcomes of Saturday's and Sunday's games. Or perhaps
it's a syndicated show so cheaply produced that few stations
bothered with it. Let's put it this way: on little UHFs like this one,
you never know what might turn up.
