KTVF was pretty much the station to watch back in the disco days of 1978, simply because their primary and secondary networks were #2 CBS and #1 ABC respectively. KFAR stuck with troubled, third-place NBC though things would turn around in the early '80s.

Since this was a Wednesday, did KTVF delay
"Charlie's Angels" and "Vega$"? I can't believe
they'd pre-empt two of ABC's most popular shows
at the time.
 
At 8PM 2 aired "Dick Clark Live," while 11 aired "Eight is Enough." Weren't these both ABC shows? Reminds me of Charlotte back in the 60s.
