What's with the 11:00 late news on these Mountain Time Zone stations? Was this some network thing or a local (DST, or lack of it) thing? I've wondered that ever since I saw this YouTube clip of a KOA-TV news open from 1978 which mentions it as "the 11:00 report." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdOO5AImtQA)

Also of note: this was about three months or so after WGN took over what had been KCTO, channel 2. And, I thought the first season of I Dream of Jeannie was only broadcast in black-and-white.
 
Adam Ant was that British singer from the early 1980's, of "Goody Two-Shoes" fame. Hanna-Barbera had a cartoon character in the mid-1960's called Atom Ant.
 
I'll post a weekday schedule from that TV Guide later today or tomorrow. I lived in Denver briefly in 1972, but since I was only 6 at the time I can't say I remember anything other than watching reruns of "Green Acres" on channel 2 every afternoon.
 
I went back and checked - yes, "Jeannie" was B&W. That one was my fault. The "Adam Ant" listing (along with the misspelling of "Casper") was the way they had it in the Guide.
