Didn't TPIR drop the "New" back in 1973?

6:25 TV College "Miracle of Modern Architecture: The Respiratory System"

What does the respiratory system have to do with architecture?

10:00 Sesame Street

Given the time of year, maybe they signed off during the day during the summer, as school was not in session.

Though of course, most educational stations usually did not schedule in-school programming before 9AM, so I don't know what exactly the scoop is here.

1. Not sure on that one...that was what the Detroit News had it listed as...
2. That was a stuffup...should have read Miracle of Human Architecture.

Didn't some tv stations back in the day start out with college programs before 7:00AM? my guess is WTVS broadcasted college programs at 6:30, singed off at 7:00 and returned to the air at 10:00AM. my Guess its a College program.
