Hold up - two stations in the same city carried this show? And within a half-hour of each other, no less?

The topic on 7's episode is interesting, given that this show is one of the few that I've seen listed as "OC" (Open Captioned) almost entirely.

It was a program produced by a religious organisation, and is given to stations to show free of charge, enabling stations to fulfill their public service quotas. Some organisations would offer their show to more than one station per market, especially (and usually) if one of the stations is a religious station (which were becoming to be commonplace in the late-1970s).

Back in those days, Mac McGarry was hosting both the Washington and Baltimore versions. He initially left the Baltimore It's Ac in 2001, but returned a year later when his successor, Paul Barry, apparently did not do a good job hosting (just like here in Cleveland; when Adam Shapiro left the Cleveland version [known as "Academic Challenge"] in 2006, his successor, Danita Harris, did not do a good job, and so Jason Nicholas took over in 2007). Mac then left the Baltimore version again in 2003, and Dave Zahren has been the host there since then.
