No KNBN/33? I think they were all-Spanish at this time, so maybe the DMN and the Startlegram chose not to publish the Spanish listings.

Thanks for the list.

She's a Texan? There's no way! 🤯

Thanks for the list.

Born in Ft. Worth, raised in Burleson.

No KNBN/33? I think they were all-Spanish at this time, so maybe the DMN and the Startlegram chose not to publish the Spanish listings.

Do you want me to add that on as well?

 

[installLSC]

If you're wondering why two stations closed down so early, it was because both broadcast subscription TV services (basically an OTA Home Box Office) in the evening hours. KTXA was ON TV while KTWS broadcast Preview.

 

[RandTV]

Do you want me to add that on as well?

Actually, both the Morning News and Star-Telegram DID publish KNBN's listings. In two years, they were bought by Metromedia and changed its call to KDAF, which eventually became one of Fox's founding O&O stations.

Here's their SIN schedule for that day, with English translations.

7:00 Con Curso De La Tele (TV Contest)
7:30 Caras y Gestes (Faces and Gestures)
8:00 Complicadisimo (Complicated)
8:30 Val De La O Show (Valentino De La O is the full name of the host)
9:30 Burbujas (Bubbles)
10:30 Semana Deportiva (Week in Sports)
11:00 Lucha (Wrestling)
12:00 Hora de Poder (Hour of Power; likely not the Robert Schuller program)
12:30 Vida en Cristo (Life in Christ)
<<fuera del aire/off the air>>

Happy 40th birthday Kelly Clarkson!
