From TV Guide, Central Florida Edition:

WFTV Ch. 9 Orlando (ABC)

6 AM Sunrise Jubilee (Slim Mims)
Click to expand...

We've mentioned this before in these Orlando skeds, but IIRC Sunrise Jubilee is what replaced Slim Mims' show. Sunrise Jubilee had the mysterious Gene Thomley as host, about whom I've never been able to find a shred of info. The only reason I think either I, you, or TVG is confused is that I thought the switch took place later than Spring of '72. That would have been less than a year after I myself relocated to Orlando (I would have been in 9th grade at the time) and I thought ol' Slim was on WFTV well into my sophomore year of high school.
 
I didn't move to Florida until the summer of 1973
(and to Tampa at that), and IIRC "Sunrise Jubilee"
was on WFTV by that time. However, I just post
them the way they appear in TV Guide, which was
the case here. Slim Mims may have been gone soon
after this issue appeared.

I guess what I was trying to say is that they are two different shows, and Sunrise Jubilee was the title of the show that replaced Slim Mims in that time slot (and I believe his show was titled, unsurprisingly, The Slim Mims Show). If TVG lists it as Sunrise Jubilee, but shows the host as Slim Mims, something is not right here.
 
I have the Central Florida edition for the week of
June 24-30, 1972, and it, too, shows Slim Mims
as host of "Sunrise Jubilee." So I'm as confused
as you are.
 
I might add that in 1973 "Sunrise Jubilee" was
hosted by somebody named Thomey. I think
this is who you remember; I can't be much help,
since I didn't get Ch. 9 (Ch. 10 was my ABC affiliate),
but why TV Guide would give Slim Mims as host if he
had left WFTV is a mystery to me, too.

AFAIK, Slim Mims' show wasn't locally-based in Orlando -- I think he was based somewhere in the Carolinas(?) and the show was syndicated. Sunrise Jubilee, OTOH, was local, I believe. Assuming all my recollections are correct (not a safe bet at my age), maybe TVG was just confused, thinking that the change to Sunrise Jubilee was just a name change for the same show, rather than a different show, and just appended Mims' name to it, assuming he was involved.
 
Now you tell me! Slim Mims was at WBTW/13
Florence, SC, for years, so for the first time this
all begins to make sense. I don't know how WFTV
came to carry his show; the two stations were not--
and are not--sister stations

I assumed it was just syndicated like many other similar "regional" shows -- I doubt Florence and Orlando were the only two markets that had the show.
