Unlike TV Guide, the Enquirer wasn't very shy about posting the name of the infomercials...

WLWT 5-NBC
1:00 Troy-Bilt Tiller
1:30 Instride Walker

WCPO 9-ABC
12:30 Mercury Media
1:00 Wealth Secrets

WKEF 22-NBC
6:30 TMT Media
 
Here's a complete listing of infomercials (and suspected infomercials) for that day:

6:30 TMT Media
7:00 Talk America
12:30 Infomercial

WRGT 45-Fox/UPN
2:00 TMT Media

It seems that some stations were shy (or semi-"shy") listing infomercials, while others were more than happy to list them.

Bluenoser said:
WKRC 12-CBS
1:35 Poltergeist: The Legacy
2:35 Soul Train
3:05 Fast-Track Dazzlers

Funny that WKRC not only carried "Soul Train" in late night, but only a half-hour of it, with the remainder pre-empted by (possibly) an infomercial.

...

10:00 New Music Spotlight

I'm thinking this was from "TMZ" (The Music Zone, which is unrelated to the present time's celebrity gossip site). They ran music video shows on the "LPTV networks" and small independent stations. I remember seeing their show late at night on KFBT-33 during a visit to Las Vegas when the Koker family still owned the station.

Bluenoser said:
2:00 Exposed (x2, part 1 features a bikini contest in Texas, with hr 2 being a Best of show)
4:00 Foxhunt Exotic Lingerie Revue

This must have been filler programming from the long-gone Network One service. It doesn't sound like something any broadcast TV station would air even in the overnight hours, especially in Cincinnati.
