I remember disliking that 'Press Your Luck' wasn't cleared in the market because of 'Donahue'. 'Jeopardy' had yet to return and would come in syndication that Fall.

'AfterMASH' had a reasonably successful first season, but dropped off quickly in its second season.

Looking at these old schedules makes me wonder how we somehow got by without hours and hours of local newscasts in the morning and evening. These schedules are filled with general entertainment programming and about an hour of local news. Now it's 2-3 hours in the evening and often 3-4 hours in the morning.

Despite this, I don't think people are any better informed.
 
'AfterMASH' had a reasonably successful first season, but dropped off quickly in its second season.

Actually, "AfterMASH" just ran for a single season. It started out with high ratings in that one season, but dropped off dramatically to the point where it was not renewed for a second season.
 
I am curious about the fate of this LPTV Spanish station on UHF 66.
When I lived in Michigan there was a full-power Fox station on 66 based in Flint.
According to Wikipedia it went on the air in January of 1985. I presume this
LPTV must have changed channels at that time?
 
According to the "all-knowing" Wikipedia, W66BV continued broadcasting over channel 66 all the way until the 2010s (with a change in networks from SIN/Univision to TBN in the 1990s). It apparently moved to channel 47, with a later change to channel 19, where it continues to operate as WUDL-LD, broadcasting a bevy of infomercials, home shopping, and religion.
 
It may have had some type of signal, but it was effectively not receivable. I live on the East Side and could never pull this station in.
