It is interesting to see WBBM (as a CBS owned station) air Love of Life at 2:30pm following Guiding Light in its final months. The CBS network chose to air it at 4:00/3:00pm Central instead following the rest of the soap lineup at 3:30/2:30pm. This never made sense airing One Day at a Time at 3:30 bumping Love of Life to 4:00 where it was subject to pre-emptions by many stations. Before the time slot change in April 1979, most CBS stations did carry Love of Life at 11:30/10:30am without much pre-emption.
