TV News only listed a B&W indication for movies...I've marked them in for shows I suspect were B&W, but I'm sure I may have missed one or two :D

So Indianapolis didn't have an independent station in 1982? When did they get one? What independents and CW, MY NETWORK TV's do they have today?

WTTV, though COLed to Bloomington, served Indianapolis- they've been on-air since November 11/49, some 5-1/2 months after WFBM-TV (now WRTV) launched, making 4 the second-oldest channel in the state. More info on WTTV at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTTV
 
Did the Indianapolis market still go by Eastern Standard Time? The schedules for that market's network affiliates don't seem right....

As Bluenoser mentioned, WTTV is licensed to Bloomington. Its studio is in Indy (on the south side in 1982, but I think they're now co-located with WXIN Fox 59) and the transmitter is in Trafalgar, 25 miles south of Indy and 25 miles NE of Bloomington. This allows the required city-grade coverage of Bloomington but gives a poorer signal on the north side of Indy (did this improve with digital?). Because of this, they started satellite-station WTTK Ch. 29, licensed to Kokomo, in 1987. They were the market's independent station from 1957 to 1995, when they signed with UPN. Before that, they were primary NBC (1949-56) and ABC (1956-57).

WTTV is currently the CW affiliate for the Indy market, while MyNetworkTV is WNDY Channel 23, licensed to Marion and co-owned with WISH-TV. I don't believe there are any "true" independents in the area right now.

Indianapolis was still on Eastern Standard Time in the summer; it wasn't until later that their stations began delaying everything an hour to keep them on an 8-11 primetime the year 'round (I think, and I may be wrong, that WTHR started it so it could air "Wheel Of Fortune" at 7:30 the year 'round.). Of course, it's a moot point now, since Indianapolis is on EDT.

From what I remember from the late '60s and early '70s when I lived in Bloomington, the Indy, South Bend, and Ft. Wayne stations delayed their programming by an hour in the summer. The Terre Haute stations did not since they had Illinois viewers as well. All those cities were on EST (nobody dared call it "Central Daylight Time" if you lived in most of Indiana! ;D ) in the summer.
