[installLSC]

A real transitional era. Still lots of local programming, including such beloved shows as KING's "Almost Live" and KYVE's "Northwest Outdoors" (a fave of my youth). Lots of cartoons on Saturday morning, although live action shows have won the battle of schedules already. Such evergreens as "Wide World of Sports" (in its last season), "Bewitched" and "Wild Kingdom" having a last hurrah.
