Retro: Central Florida Tuesday, February 15, 1972

[bpatrick]

From TV Guide, Central Florida Edition. NOTE:
No mention is made of instructional programming
during the day on Chs. 3 and 24, but I would assume
they had some. My first listing for both stations is the
same as the first in the magazine.

WDBO (WKMG) Ch. 6 Orlando (CBS)

10:30 Dimension Florida (a live interview
with Republican Presidential candidate
John Ashbrook in Jacksonville)

Boy, talk about your footnote people in American politics -- I don't remember this guy at all. But I see he got 9-10% of the vote in the New Hampshire, Florida, and California primaries. He had positioned himself as as "alternative" Conservative candidate, believing that Nixon had strayed too far from the bedrock basics of Conservatism.

WFTV Ch. 9 Orlando (ABC)

6:15 Slim Mims (country music--I remember
this show on WBTW Florence, SC)

I would have been in about 10th grade at the time of this schedule, and I remember Slim Mims being on when I would be getting ready for school. Not my cup of musical tea, but I have a vague memory of seeing him one morning opining about the Vietnam War. (I believe he was of the school that felt the war was just, but that we were being hamstrung by political decisions; I specifically recall him shaking his head and lamenting that "We're fighting a losing war over there.") Not long after, I noted that his show was replaced on WFTV, and I always wondered if there was a cause and effect there; i.e., maybe he was getting a little too political/controversial instead of just bringing on the music.

WFTV later carried something called "The Gene Thomley Show" in the slot. I believe he was a local guy, and for the life of me I can't find anything about him on the Web. He didn't seem to have any musical talents himself; just a sort of bland, genial host that reminded me of my high school band teacher. If anyone can dig up some info on or memories of this guy (I think I have the spelling of his name right), I'd be interested.
