I noticed that Search For Tomorrow was completely absent from KOIN's lineup in 1979. I know that KPTV carried a lot of shows that the other network stations in Portland didn't carry in the past (Search For Tomorrow, the original Jeopardy!, Now You See It, among others). I know that from a fall 1974 issue of TV Guide that I have from the same area which showed that KPTV carried Search at 11:30 AM. I also noticed that KOIN didn't carry The Price Is Right either.

KOBI 5-ABC/CBS Medford (TelePrompter cable 5)
6:00 Captain Kangaroo
KOIN 6-CBS Portland (TelePrompter cable 6)
8:00 Captain Kangaroo (both 5 and 6 ran the same show)

Since 8 AM PT is "in pattern" and Medford is not a day behind, would this
be an indicator that TV City also passed the second (9 AM ET) New York
feed of the Captain to the left coast at 6 AM PT?

I've also wondered about a similar scenario in the pre-satellite days with
CBS News Sunday Morning, having seen some left coast listings for the
(9 AM ET) show at 6 AM PT, leading me to guess that TV City fed it and
Face The Nation live from 6-8 then again "in pattern" 8-10, except during
NFL season when, IIRC, the CBS pre-game show ("You are looking live at
sold-out RFK Stadium...") was normally at 9:30 AM PT in that era--this
kept the political yakfest to only the 7:30 AM live feed, with perhaps a
refeed in the late afternoon around 4:30 or 5.
