CBS 7 does not list Match Game 76 on its schedule. GL did not expand to an hour until 1977. Was MG carried at 2?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't channel 7 change its calls to KMGH in 1972?

Yes, if Wikipedia can be believed (most of the time they can be), KMGH became the new calls for Channel 7 sometime in '72. They struggled for many years despite the call change.

Also enjoyed Channel 2's "Big News" title. This was popular in the late 60's and early 70's, (especially in the the top 10 markets, and Denver has always been a market that liked to emulate the bigs, but this is '76...so hmm.
