...Bozo's Circus: anybody know exactly when did Ringmaster Ned Locke retire and WGN-TV/9 merge Garfield Goose & Friends into Bozo's Circus so Frazier Thomas could replace Mr. Ned? And, for that matter, when were Garfield Goose and the other puppets discontinued from Bozo's Circus? By the time Joey D'Auria took the role of Bozo over from Bob Bell, Cuddly Dudley was the only puppet I recall still being used on the show...

...Presidential Debate: would this have been the one where the sound system crapped out and both Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford stood there speechless for 20 minutes plus?...

...and I distinctly recall WFLD/32 adding LWT's SuperSonic rock music show to replace one of these late-night Friday shows sometime during the Autumn of '76. Any info on exactly when that took place?...
 
I never knew Renee Poussaint was in Chicago.
I remember her as co-anchor with David Schoumacher
on WJLA's "News 7" back around 1983. Wonder what
she's doing now?

Wasn't that show syndicated in the US as "Twiggy's Jukebox", with segments featuring Twiggy replacing the original SuperSonic host?

I would think Rockford, Madison, Milwaukee and portions of the Chicago market where the other markets' channels are available. Chicago proper already had its own edition.

Some years back I remember reading someplace, perhaps it was DCRTV that said Poussaint was at the time working for BET. She may have since joined TV One but I am not sure. Renee was a very good anchor. Come to think of it I also seem to recall she got into local Washington politics for a brief time not long after she had left WJLA.

David Schoumacher...at the same time he was doing news on WJLA ( and even for a number of years afterward ) owned WXVA-FM/AM in Charlestown, West Virginia. Come to think of it I believe David even did a few shows on WXVA as well. While Schoumacher may have been a great anchor on WJLA, as a disc jockey on WXVA...ah no. Let's just say it was clear to everyone in the Charles Town region that WXVA was nothing more than David's personal jukebook and yes he did have some strange taste in music.

...indeed, it was. However, that wasn't until 1978, when American International Television leased the U.S. rights to the show; in 1976, the show was offered in syndication in its original form by whoever LWT product was being distributed by in the United States (WMVS/10 ran LWT's sitcom No, Honestly a few months before this). As I recall, there was no regular host on the editions of SuperSonic that WFLD ran; possibly whatever links a host would have provided were clipped out to make more room for commercials. I recall there were shots of Mike Mansfield, the show's producer and director, calling for shots from the control room, so maybe Mansfield acted as host as well in the U.K. edition...

You are correct. Basically, its main listings and market was Milwaukee (Black TV Bullets/white channel numbers), since those stations took up more ad space for their shows than Madison and Rockford (both White TV bullets/black channel numbers), plus TV Guide had a Milwaukee office at the time. The Chicago stations (also Black TV bullets/white channel numbers) never placed ads in this edition during its run.
