Old "She-cogger!" Thanks for the sked. Too bad no Bulls basketball that day on the tube, though. Spring training was also a month off, so no Cubs or White Sox, either.
 
Aside from the three network O&O's, the other station owners (per the 1975 Broadcasting Yearbook as on this site) were as follows as of this sked:
WGN-TV 9: WGN Continental Broadcasting Co.
WTTW 11 and WXXW 20: Chicago Educational Television Association
WCIU-TV 26: Weigel Broadcasting Co.
WFLD-TV 32: Kaiser Broadcasting Co. (once-and-future owner Field Communications was a minority partner of Kaiser from 1973 to 1977 when they acquired the other Kaiser stations)
WSNS-TV 44: Video 44, Inc.
