Hey bpatrick2? Do you have any TV listings from Local TV guides from either Orlando, Tampa Bay or Sarasota from the time period of 1979-1983? If so, I'd love to see some posted, and just let me know!

Here are the listings!

2 - WESH Daytona Beach (NBC)
3 - WEDU Tampa (PBS)
6M - WCIX Miami (Ind)
6O - WDBO Orlando (CBS, changed call letters to WCPX in 1982)
7J - WJCT Jacksonville (PBS)
7S - WXLT Sarasota (ABC)
8 - WFLA Tampa (NBC)
9 - WFTV Orlando (ABC)
10 - WTSP St. Petersburg (ABC)
11 - WINK Fort Myers (CBS)
13 - WTVT Tampa (CBS)
16 - WUSF Tampa (PBS)
17 - WTBS Atlanta (Ind)
20 - WBBH Fort Myers (NBC)
24 - WMFE Orlando (PBS)
26 - WEVU Fort Myers (ABC)
28 - WFTS Tampa (Ind)
35 - WOFL Orlando (Ind)
43 - WMOD Clermont (Ind)
44 - WTOG St. Petersburg (Ind)
 
The editions that were created when the Central Florida edition was broken up (Orlando, Tampa/Sarasota) are a little hard to come by, but I'll keep an eye out.

I also need to make a correction: the Jack Narz version of "Concentration" debuted on Sept. 10, 1973. WFLA originally carried it at 9 AM, later moving it to 7 PM with the demise of "What's My Line?". Likewise, Orlando's Ch. 6 also moved it from a morning slot (9:30 AM, IIRC) to 7:30 PM for the same reason.
