KTVF's "Fairbanks Evening News" finally expanded to a half-hour in September 1971; that same month, they added ABC programming to the mix with its shows being on a one-week delay (CBS' was still three weeks).

Also in the fall, Channel 11 started carrying three first-run syndicated shows on the weekends: "Hee Haw", "Lassie", and "The Lawrence Welk Show"; the former two just dropped by CBS while Welk was canceled by ABC. This was when the FCC's new Prime Time Access Rule came into effect, with the networks relinquishing 7:30 to the stations leaving them 8:00-11:00.

Ted Lehne also served as KTVF's general manager at the time, and I'm sure he's seen all those old Fairbanks TV schedules I've been posting in the last couple of years. And I'm also sure he or anybody else who've worked at Channels 2 and/or 11 back in the day may have some visual mementos (either kinescopes or videotapes) from the '60s, '70s, or even '80s that are dying, DYING, DYING to be on YouTube because like I said before...THERE AREN'T ANY!!!!!
