[Doctor2012]

that means "Hot Dog" and "Jambo" were both cancelled by NBC tv a week before on september 4th!

 

[Joseph_Gallant]

It's no surprise that WSJK-2 was off-the-air on Saturdays.

As late of the 1970's, some PBS member stations were still not yet on a seven-day broadcast week.

For instance, in New Hampshire for almost all of the 1970's, the only station of New Hampshire Public Television that was on the air seven days a week was flagship WENH-11 (and it's two translators).

The other four "full-power" NHPTV stations (all on UHF) would only go on the air on Saturdays if the network was carrying special programming, mainly University of New Hampshire men's hockey games (for nearly four decades, NHPTV produced televised UNH men's hockey games). In the 1970's, several of the telecasts were on Saturdays and the NHPTV "full power" UHF's would sign-on the air on Saturdays to carry the games and whatever other programs preceded or followed the games (back then, WENH's Saturday schedule usually ran from 4 to 11 P.M.).

And closer to my home in Boston, WGBH-2 didn't adopt seven-day-a-week broadcasting on a regular basis until the mid-1960's. Prior to that, the station had first a weekdays-only schedule and then a Sunday-through-Friday schedule, with much of the Sunday fare being public-affairs programs rejected by the commercial stations (with commercial announcements deleted and replaced by public service announcements and/or program promos).
