I should point out that Channel 8 at that time was still WJKW. The K wouldn't disappear until September of 1985.
 
The last 3 movies listed for WCLQ/61 starting at 8PM would have been the scrambled pay-tv service Preview then carried on 61.

Actually 3 WKYC NEVER ran Fantasy Island. That would not be syndicated till later in 1983. The show they ran was a reality show from NBC called "Fantasy". It was a show about making people's dreams come true. It ran from the fall of 1982 to the fall of 1983 and was replaced then by Match Game/Hollywood Squares which was a mix of both shows inside of one hour long show.

It should be noted this that this was a notable day for game show fans; the previous week, Wheel was on at 10:30, the soap "Texas" at 11, and the soap "The Doctors" at 12. Replacing those two shows were three new game shows, all premiering on this day. "Sale" would have the longest run (until 1989), with "Hit Man" and "Just Men" only lasting until April 1. Replacing those two shows? Two MORE game shows. :)

Oh, and over on CBS, "Plinko" premiered this day as well on "The Price is Right".
 
Fair to assume that "Family Feud" at noon on 61 was punted from Channel 5, leaving only the 4PM shows ("Tattletales" and "Edge of Night") not cleared?

I'm thinking, "Barnaby Jones" and 9 followed by "Romper Room" at 10 here? (Then again, why would you split children's programming with a drama?)

"Barnaby" was the Barnaby Show with Linn Sheldon, who had been in Cleveland TV since the beginning, and played Kidshow host "Barnaby" on and off since 1957 on Channel 3 and 43 up until his retirement in 1990. 9:30 was the syndicated Romper Room. and at 10 the show title was A. M. (I've seen it as 43 A.M. earlier it was known as The Alice Weston Show and Coffee Shoppe I believe)
