A few things . . .

At one time or another, four of the five NBC O&O's (the others: WRC-TV 4 Washington, DC; WKYC-TV 3 Cleveland, OH; and KNBC 4 Los Angeles) aired The Mike Douglas Show. The only exception was in New York, where from 1968 to 1980 it aired on CBS-owned WCBS-TV 2.

2:30 What's My Line? (bw)

If the Chicago Daily News listed WML? as "(bw)," I can only assume this was in error, as WGN, to my knowledge, only aired the 1968-75 color syndicated version of this long-running panel show. I don't think they reran the old 1950-67 episodes as GSN did, on and off, from its 1994 launch until 2009.

Would this have been the same program as aired in color in the early 1970's on WTOP-TV 9 in Washington, DC? Also, at what point did WCIU start airing shows in color?

Bluenoser said:

10:30 Not for Women Only

Obviously as syndicated; I can presume that not all NBC O&O's took this show, then hosted by Barbara Walters (in New York it aired on originating station WNBC-TV 4).

I read somewhere that WCIU kept its own version of Soul Train going under another host, after Don Cornelius took the show national from Hollywood in 1971 -- true or false?

I think around 1979 -- not certain, though.
