I never knew "Another World" ran 90 minutes! ???

Yep! From March 1979 to August 1980, it was a 90 minute program...Scaled back to 60 minutes to make room for "Texas", which itself was the first soap to debut as an hour-long...

Please post listings for Saturday, 5/19/1979 and Sunday, 5/20/1979. I'd like to see them.
 
Flintstones on WGGS??? AND on Channel 40???? Sounds unusual for either of these stations. Not so much because of the religious nature of WGGS but the fact that WGGS was such a low budget operation. Also the fact Channel 40 was such a low busget operation also would preculde them from getting that show. Certainly the show could not have been on both stations - a show cannot be on more than one channel per market. My guess? Maybe WGGS had Flintstones while Channel 40 had Fred Flintstone and Friends. or the other way around. Channel 40 seemed to have an all barter lineup and Fred & Friends was likely barter while TV 16 had some cash programs. My guess.... WOuld lobe to see Fall of 79, Fall 80, and Fall 81, Fall 82, and Fall 83, and Fall 84 of the Greenville Ashville market

This must be around the time when ABC yanked 40's ABC affiliation at WLOS's request, and before its conversion to WAXA under Frank Outlaw.

Of course, around this time, both the original Flintstones, and Fred & Friends, were offered as barter, with The Program Exchange offering the former.
 
As with you guys, Crossville sounds too small to have a TV station.

FROM WIKIPEDIA:
WCPT-TV was a UHF commercial independent television station licensed to Crossville, Tennessee, broadcast over channel 55 from 1977 to 1982 and over channel 20 (as WINT-TV) from 1982 to 1983.

Too bad they didn't last. Looks like they were going in the right direction.

Channel 20 came back on the air in 1997 as WBXX. I'm sure the two stations are not related.

They may not be, but at least the license is related, as WBXX is on the same license as WCPT's:

How odd! Greenville, SC like the late Bill Cullen's syndie $25,000 Pyramid on our CBS station than the late Dick Clark's ABC version $20,000 Pyramid which was pre-empted by 13!
 
My guess is Channel 16 had Fred Flintstone and Friends which was barter. Channel 40 was south of the market and probably had the 166 prime time episode series we al know and love. Channel 40 was far enough away from Greenville that they could air some shows already aired in Greenville on city grade stations. So with WLOS being north of the Greenville market, WAXA very well could have aired the Flintstones as well. Eventually WAXA simulcast WLOS to give the southern part of the market a better signal.

One thing that does surprise me is I was down in the Greenville area and then Asheville on route to Gatlinburg. Stopped at the Biltmore. I found that Ashville is even farther than Anderson from Greenville. Asheville is 75 miles north yet part of the Greenville Market. Surprised Channel 13 and 21 reached Greenville so easily. My guess??? Spartanburg was where Asheville stations transmitted from which was slightly over 30 miles from each city giving both cities Grade A signals. Channel 7 was also transmitting out of Spartanburg as well goving both cities good signals. Channel 4 was maybe slightly south of Spartanburg still giving Asheville a signal. Channel 16, though transmitted out of Greenville and did not reach Asheville well. Channel 62 when they signed on did not reach Greenville well at first but moved to Spartanburg giving Greenville a good signal. Channel 40, though reached Greenville fine, being they were about 30 miles south but barely touched Spartanburg and had NO signal in Ashville. Even with more power Channel 40 could not reach Asheville. Now with digital Channel 13 carried 40 on DT-2. 13 has a good enough digital signal to reach Greenville anyway. So now the stations with digital are on more equal footing, even TV 16, which had a poor signal to the north during analog days.
 
Ch. 16 had a poor signal in every direction; we lived in Mauldin,
which is southeast of Greenville, for 11 years and had a snowy
picture of 16 on cable.

For the record, Ch. 4's transmitter was (and I assume still is) on
Paris Mountain, north of Greenville; Ch. 7's on Hogback Mountain;
Ch. 13's on Mt. Pisgah. I'm not sure where 21, 40, and 62 have
theirs.
 
What was wierd about Channel 16 was as the only independent that it had such low rate programs. Yes as a Christian Station they would be expected to run entertainment maybe from 7-9 AM and from 2 to 8 PM maybe. But they could have gotten stronger shows for not too much money for a market that size. Even World Harvest stations in Miami, South Bend, and Indianapolis had decent shows for about 5 hours a day (8 hours a day in South Bend) from MCA, Viacom, Warner Brothers, among others. Then by 1985, WGGS was nearly entirely Christian programming. WAXA 40 was mostly barter. WHNS had the stronger shows. Once WAXA went dark, WGGS still stayed all Christian just about till 1992 when they added a couple hours of barter shows. Then in 1993 they added a pile of Hanna Barbara Cartoons like Scooby Doo, Yogi, Flintstones, a couple sitcoms such as Wonder Years. Then in 1995 when WAXA broke away from the WLOS simulcast, WGGS was back to mostly Christian by 1997. In 1997, though Channel 62 signed on as a UPN and WB affiliate initially. So by then Greenville had a decent set of independents.

Wikipedia gives WYFF's tx location as near Caesar's Head NC, is that where Paris Mtn is? A quick check on there has 21's tx at Slick Rock Mtn (5 mi NE of Brevard NC), 40 at Fountain Inn SC (and sharing studios with WLOS in Asheville), and 62 at Pinnacle Mtn Rd in Green River Township NC (S of Jeter Mountain Terrace, studios at WSPA).
