This was way back when KDFW was a better station with them being a CBS affilliate and had to change to the FOX network
and KTVT was a Superstation. Wasn't KDFWs call letters KRLD at the time?<P ID="signature">______________

"Wide World Of Entertainment" always began whenever
the 10:30 movie ended, and it varied from night to
night.

In answer to another post, Channel 4 was KDFW in
1976 (I think the call letters changed in 1970).
And I think I agree, I prefer Channel 4 as a
CBS affiliate as well.

Now a question concerning Channel 8's daytime
schedule. I moved to Dallas in late 1976. When
I went out there for the first time in September
to find a house, I bought the local TV Guide.
Channel 8 was then running their "A.M." show, followed
by an hour of Good Morning America, then Mike Douglas
from 9 to 10 AM. The Edge Of Night was on pattern at
3, and the afternoon movie ran 3:30-5. When did
Channel 8 make these changes?

All network daytime shows were on pattern in the fall
of '76. Early in 1977, Channel 5 put a half-hour of Donahue
at 9 AM and moved Sanford And Son to 3:30.

Was the Sugar Bowl played on Jan. 1 this year? It usually aired on ABC.
Or was the game played opposite the Cotton Bowl, and blacked out in Dallas?

For a few years in the 70s, the Sugar Bowl was played at night Dec. 31.

Actually this was a pilot for possible series. It also had two chances but didn't get picked up(BTW I listed this show back in the Spokane TV 1976 thread).
