Actually, though not included in TV Guide. TV 27 was signing on at 1 PM repeating the 700 Club from the night before by then. Still TV 27 was a very low budget operation with very limited programming, religious or secular. But from the Fall of 1971 to the Fall of 1973, WYAH TV 27 grew rapidly. They began acquiring second and third hand shows that fell off WAVY, WVEC, and WTAR TV bit by bit. By the fall of 71 they were on 12 hours a day, by the fall of 72 they were on by 10 AM and had about 8 hours a day of general entertainment. In the fall of 1973 they were on the air by 7 AM every day and looked like a pretty strong independent. In the 70's this station had a stronger lineup than many secular stations at the time. The only day they were only Christian was Sunday and they began adding entertainment part of the day Sunday in 1980.
