"Main Street" was an occasional discussion series hosted by Bryant Gumbel, which, starting this season, replaced its Afterschool Special knockoff, "Special Treat". That being said, what was normally seen at these times? I think WXFL showed "Trapper John MD" at 4, but I'm not sure.

CBS Late Night: WCPX, with "Simon & Simon" and "Madigan", showed that night's schedule, with WJXT and WTVT normally showing it on a week delay. However, "The Dark Side of Innocence", originally broadcast March 18, 1986, was on a two-week delay, due to a CBS News special that was screened on March 25: "CBS Reports: The Vanishing Family-Crisis in Black America". (Source: http://epguides.com/CBSLateMovie/ )

Did WCTV only show half of CBS Late Night, closing down after "Simon & Simon", or is this schedule only incomplete?

Up until this season, WXFL would be "live" with the network from 10:30AM to 12 Noon, then 1PM to 4PM, with other times replaced with syndicated shows and the local noon news. However, starting this season, they showed "Santa Barbara" on a delay at 9AM with a syndicated drama rerun (in this case, "Quincy", at 3). As far as I knew, they always bumped the 10AM NBC show, initially for "Romper Room" until 1982, then for a syndicated program; I recall the 1984-1986 "Lets Make a Deal" and reruns of Jim Perry's "Card Sharks" being seen at this time as well.

The 12:30PM slot was also always bumped, initlally as part of a noon news hour, later for "All In The Family" when the news was shortened to a half-hour. I believe other syndied shows were also seen in that slot. In consequence, Tampa Bay never saw the final few seasons of "The Doctors" (the soap, not the talk show, which ironically, WFLA carries today) or "Search For Tomorrow" (which was long gone from WTVT when it moved from CBS to NBC).

1:30 Comedy Tonight

Earlier this season, "Comedy Tonight" was seen at 12:30AM, with Dave on a delay at 1AM, due to contractual considerations -- WXFL's parent, Media General, was co-producer. Later on, it moved to after Dave, when it was already cancelled.

It's too bad no cable system outside Orlando pulled a "WKID" and showed WFTV late-nights after another channel left the air -- I believe WFTV was one of the first stations in the region to be on the air 24/7, with old movies and reruns.

Yep...KCOP in Los Angeles was another then-indie that showed Wheel and J! (and in that order) before the two eventually moved to a network station (KCBS, and later KABC). Ironically, KCOP and WOGX are now both owned by Fox.

WCPX also appeared not to clear any CBS game shows except for The Price Is Right.
