I'm surprised to see channel 32 carrying a Black Hawks game. I thought WSNS TV 44 carried most of their games. Did not realize channel 32 carried them as well.

The channel 2 version was the syndicated Don Cornelius version from Hollywood. The channel 26 version was the local show that led to the national version; the 26 version was still on the air at the time, but now with Clinton Ghent as host.
 
Would love a Sunday and weekday schedule from that time period....Jetsons both on WGN TV and NBC...Unusual - NBC had rights to run once a week while the same episodes were concurrently in syndication. Also Johnny Quest and Bullwinkle ran a few years later on NBC while at the same time still being in syndication...same eoisodes and all...Also years later George Of The Jungle while syndicated also ran on ABC in the ear;y 90's...


Thanks if you can post the weekday and sunday schedule...
 
I remember the Muppets on WBBM on Saturday nights. That might have started later in the year. WLS News was only 15 minutes long on Saturdays was this done nationally, splitting the local and world news?
