Was Ohio not observing Daylight Savings Time at the time?

Good question, because Indiana didn't (except for a few years in the late 60s/early 70s) for many years.
 
Probably for consistency's sake (and the Northern Indiana Edition's
circulation area) WLIO's schedules were converted to conform with
Indiana; Columbus, GA, stations used to be listed on Central Time in
the Southern Alabama Edition but Eastern Time in the South Georgia
Edition. Ohio, to the best of my knowledge, did go on Daylight Saving
Time.
 
Channel 33 showed all 4 days of the Indy 500 time trials live for many years...A few days before the race, Hilliard Gates would host a preview show called "33 Salutes The 33". Also, on a sad note, the voice of the 500, Tom Carnegie ("Annnd it's a tick of the watch faster!!!") passed away a few months ago at the age of 91.

I don't know that the Northern Indiana edition was ever all-UHF. In my experience with it (fairly extensive visits to the in-laws in Fort Wayne starting around 1990), the edition listed 2/5/7/9/11/32 Chicago (black on white) alongside the South Bend, FW and Lima UHF stations (white on black). Viewers in the South Bend area have always had pretty decent antenna access to Chicago-market stations, especially on the west side of the market, so I'd be surprised if the edition had stopped listing them at any point.
 
If you believe those fan sites that list each of the editions from around the country and the stations that are included in each, Chicago was indeed not listed in 1972, though it does show that they were added by 1975. Only 3 Ft. Wayne, 3 South Bend, and WLIO in Lima are shown as having listings included.

Also, by sme point in the mid-late 80s, WLIO was dropped from the listings.

I would think Northern Indiana was sold in portions of Northwest Ohio, in areas where Fort Wayne and Lima channels are available. This ended around 1982, when the Toledo-Lima edition was established, which also included Fort Wayne and Lima listings.

Yes, now that you mention it, I would expect South Bend viewers would have expected listings for at least 9, 11, and 32. Plus, SW Michigan would also recieve that issue ot TVG, and wouldn't they recieve good reception of the Chicago stations? Water path across Lake Michigan and all.
