Hey bpatrick do you have any TV listings from local tv guides from either Orlando or Tampa-Sarasota from the mid 90s? (1993-1997) If so, just let me know, and I'd love to see some posted!

Here are the listings....

51 - WOGX Ocala (Fox)
62 - WBSV Venice (Ind)
65 - WRBW Orlando (Ind, became UPN affiliate in 1995)
 
The CFL games were live on WTOG; however, WAGA, being a CBS affiliate at the time, delayed the games until Saturday afternoons.
 
Was Gainesville listed in the North Florida Edition at this time? I'm sure WUFT 5 was broadcasting, 20 may not have signed on yet though.
 
The Northern Florida edition didn't come into existence until 1973, but WCJB was in that edition. In fact, WCJB switched from NBC to ABC about a month after I moved to Tampa.

Prior to that, there was a Florida-Georgia edition, which covered Macon, Columbus, Albany, Tallahassee, Jacksonville, and Gainesville; WESH was also listed in that edition. Northern Florida carried all the Jacksonville and Gainesville stations, the CBS and PBS stations in Tallahassee, and the network affiliates (2, 6, and 9) in Orlando. Toward the end of the digest-size era of TV Guide, the Northern Florida and Orlando editions merged.

BPatrick, thanks for that 1972 schedule -- I'm always thankful for retro skeds that people post when they can, and are able to carve out time in their busy lives to type them out.

Curious how every CBS station listed here found most of the old sitcom reruns as throwaway fluff to preempt.

--Russell
 
Well said, Russell...the example above is borderline trolling, if not outright. Either that, or someone has too much time on his hands, who the hell knows.

Not related to scheduling, but the 'curious' thing I've noticed is that when the retro listings are from the era of the original (NBC daytime) 'Hollywood Squares', more of than not, Rose Marie is not listed(when the listings have room for all nine celeb panelists), despite her longtime status as a 'regular' panelist.
 
Boy, do I recall that line-up. Our family was in Tampa for a visit with relatives that week. Good stuff.
