11:30 Emergency! (NBC is showing this flashback episode.)

This must be "Greatest Rescues On 'Emergency!'", a TV movie that was designed to be the series's final episode, where Gage and Desoto reminisce of their memorable rescues as they both are promoted to Captain.

Also, I take it that this showing was part of "The NBC Late Movie", which was NBC's Sunday late-night entry in the late-1970s and early-1980s, featuring repeats of films and TV movies.
 
Right on both counts. I stressed that NBC was showing this in
order to avoid confusion with the syndicated reruns, known as
"Emergency One!".

Also, I take it that this showing was part of "The NBC Late Movie", which was NBC's Sunday late-night entry in the late-1970s and early-1980s, featuring repeats of films and TV movies.

And AFAIK, except for a 1982 TV-movie that aired toward the end of his life, this was the last Jack Webb/Mark VII Limited-packaged show to air. The Emergency! finale marked the end of a 12-year streak of hits that began with the Dragnet revival in early 1967. I imagine at about this time Webb's health was starting to go downhill and he probably lost a lot of his old touch and fire. With all the shoot-'em-up cop shows going at the time (something he absolutely would not countenance in any of his shows, not even on Adam-12) and the action-adventure scene being explored by everybody and his brother by that point, he really didn't have anywhere to go. Webb's Hollywood was a drastically different place by 1979 than during his heyday as Joe Friday 25 years before. Not even the most hardshell cultural conservative was interested in listening to his lead characters giving sermons or watching the same Manichean (read: good guy-bad guy) stereotypes rehashed over and over. Which is unfortunate, because, if anything, the American cultural mood was moving rightward at the time and would have provided a fresh opportunity to promote the men in uniform, with violence and drug arrests going through the roof. Nobody really picked up Webb's peculiar mantle in later years, certainly not the likes of Steven Bochco or Michael Mann, to name two famed 1980s packagers.

And is the irony lost on anyone besides me that Channel 14, after a full day of showing Christian programming, would end their broadcast day with Don Kirshner?
 
My guess was WGGS had Fred Flintstone and Friends while WAXA had Flintstones. WGGS had more overlap with WLOS so duplicating a show they ran probably did not happen. WAXA though was 90 miles from WLOS and a good 60 miles from WLOS transmitter so those two stations could duplicate programming. In fact a couple years after WAXA went dark in 1989, they went back on the air to simulcast Channel 13 for areas south that had problems recieving them. Today WLOS offers Channel 40 programming on their DT-2. With digital WLOS reaches far enough to not need Channel 40 to simulcast (yes I know they have different numbers today being they are now digital.)
