Midnight Midnight Smacks: Desperados Of The West--Six Gun Hijacker(now I know what Midnight Smacks is all about. These are movie serials from the 30's and 40's)

That show still on the mid-1970s? I thought it went away with the arrival of PBS and other shows like Zoom and The Electric Company.

I take it that KEDT gets its programming from (or is a satellite of) San Antonio's KLRN, as they also had "Midnight Smacks".

KEDT and KLRN are separate PBS stations entirely.Many of the shows that KEDT has now are either shown at earlier times or later times.Quite possibly,Midnight Smacks may have appeared on other PBS stations as well.

At that time, KEDT probably did get most of it's programming from KLRN. Channel 16 was still pretty new at the time. It began operations in Oct.'72, I believe. In the same vein, KZTV (CBS) programming was beamed to Laredo's KVTV. I seem to remember many of the station IDs mentioning both stations. Also, during that era, KIII beamed it's signal to Victoria's KXIX Channel 19 (now Fox KVCT).

That was true in 1977 on all three counts. I believe Austin's
Channel 18 (PBS) also got feeds from KLRN.

KORO was on the air by the summer of 1977 at the latest, because
that's when I moved to San Antonio and got the South Texas edition
of TV Guide. In fact, I had seen a South Texas edition back around
May of that year, and KORO was listed then.
