9 PM Pilot: "Evel Knievel"

What was this pilot about?

bpatrick said:
WXLT (WWSB) Ch. 40 Sarasota (ABC)
9:30 Suncoast Digest

About 3.5 months later, channel 40 would be looking for a new host to replace Christine Chubbock, who would leave the show on frightening circumstances (hint, hint).
 
"The Brady Bunch" was already in reruns, even
in primetime; the episode that night was about
Bobby's being kissed by a girl who might have the
mumps.

The "Evel Knievel" pilot was for a projected
action-adventure show. In the pilot, he's challenged
to a test of skill by a female motorcyclist. Sam Elliott
played Evel Knievel, Karen Philllipp (who?) played the
female cyclist.
 
Does anyone know when Channel 6 out of Miami was added to the cable systems in Orlando and Tampa and how long was it on each system?
 
All I know is that when the Central Florida Edition
split into Orlando and Tampa/Sarasota in 1977,
Chs. 4, 6, and (I believe) 10 Miami were added to
the program listings in the Tampa/Sarasota Edition,
and Miami's 6 was added to the Orlando Edition, Since
I was in Texas by that time, that's as much as I
can give you, but I think the Miami stations were
probably out of those editions by the time of the big
switch in January 1989.

Actually, in 1977, Central Florida splitted into three editions -- Orlando, Tampa Bay and Sarasota, with Sarasota including Fort Myers/Naples in its coverage area. Tampa Bay and Sarasota merged into the Tampa-Sarasota edition in the early-1980s (about 1980 or 1981).
