Perhaps Gunsmoke (7:30 ET) wasn't as popular in New England as in
other regions, but not running Lucy (8:30 ET) in pattern? When did
WTIC-TV air these two shows?

At first I wondered, even though the movie ran over, why did NBC
allow only 15 minutes for late news instead of the usual 30?

Then I remembered...didn't Carson's contract stipulate that, unless
it was due to "breaking news" (term not yet invented in 1970), the
Tonight Show must begin no later than (fill in the blank)? And the
blank may have been 11:45 PM, or "before midnight." Apparently
Conan's not the only host to reject 12:05 AM. ;D

NBC probably scheduled most of its overrun movies on Saturdays,
assuming the contract wording did not apply to "best ofs."

Would this have been a point where WPRI-TV was switching from
day behind airing of Edge to in pattern?

So, WSBK really picked up a ton of daytime network castoffs back then, huh? All appear to be in pattern except OLTL, which must have been on a one-day tape delay. Wonder why they bothered to tape-delay that one show, when they could have easily aired it in pattern at 3:30, and run Divorce Court at 1:00??

 

[bpatrick]

WBZ's schedule reminds me a lot of WSB's in those days;
particularly with Mike Douglas at 12:30 (Merv would get
that slot on Ch. 2 in 1972) and the NBC shows being
handed off to an independent (first, WATL, then what
was then WTCG). OLTL, however, was airing in pattern
on Ch. 11 in Atlanta and would until the fall of '72 when
the station began airing the 3:30 Prize Movie, delaying
OLTL and Love, American Style to the mornings on a day-behind.

But is there an error? I notice the same NBC programs on
WBZ and WHDH (then CBS). Shouldn't Guiding Light have
been on Ch. 5 at 2:30?

Oopsie ...didn't realzie I had inadvertently put some of 'BZ's listings under WHDH 5...
