Strange how much I remember the Sunday religious shows on the Dayton stations. "Church By the Side of the Road", "Good Ship Zion", both of which I think were local or regional.
 
Hey bpatrick, do you have any TV listings from local TV Guides from either Toledo-Lima or Columbus Metropolitan from the time period of 1979-1983? If so, just let me know and I'd love to see some posted!

Here are the listings....

2DA - WDTN Dayton (ABC)
2DE - WJBK Detroit (CBS)
4C - WCMH Columbus (NBC)
4D - WDIV Detroit (NBC)
6 - WTVN Columbus (ABC)
7DA - WHIO Dayton (CBS)
7DE - WXYZ Detroit (ABC)
9 - CBET Windsor (CBC)
10 - WBNS Columbus (CBS)
11 - WTOL Toledo (CBS)
13 - WTVG Toledo (NBC)
15 - WANE Fort Wayne (CBS)
18 - WHIZ Zanesville (NBC)
20 - WOUB Athens (PBS)
21 - WPTA Fort Wayne (ABC)
22 - WKEF Dayton (NBC)
24 - WDHO Toledo (ABC)
30 - WGTE Toledo (PBS)
34 - WOSU Columbus (PBS)
33 - WKJG Fort Wayne (NBC)
35 - WLIO Lima (NBC)
43 - WUAB Lorain (Ind.)
50 - WKBD Detroit (Ind.)
51 - WSFJ Newark (Ind.)
55 - WFFT Fort Wayne (Ind.)
57 - WBGU Bowling Green (PBS)
 
Channel 18 was affiliated with NBC and ABC, yet they had the CBS News at 11:15? Kind of bizarre.
For 1977, it sure was. Back in the early 60s in Atlanta, WSB (NBC) carried at least one CBS prime time show, and WAII (ABC) carried CBS Morning News, I Love Lucy (daytime repeats) and CBS Evening News.
 
Channel 2, so far as I've been able to determine, carried two CBS network shows: "Do You Trust Your Wife?" (the first version of "Who Do You Trust?") in 1956-57. and "Stump The Stars" (the revamped "Pantomime Quiz") in 1962-63.
 
Maybe WHIZ had some kind of tertiary affiliation with CBS. It was a single station market, and without cable, I'm not sure how easy it was to get Columbus, Huntington or Wheeling.
 
The listing of "Rick Carter" at 11:00 A.M. on Channel 7 was University of Dayton football. He was in his first season as coach of the Flyers in 1977.

Interesting how the NFL games in the Central Time Zone (such as at Green Bay or at Minnesota) began at 2:00 P.M. Eastern Time back then.
