WOuld love a weekday schedule - Maybe September 12, 1978 - and a Saturday Schedule September 16 as well
 
Would love a weekday schedule - maybe Monday Sept 11, 1978 and a Saturday maybe the 16th of 1978 as well - Yes noticed that WCAU did not run the hour of Sunday Morning cartoons despite being an O & O. They also did not run the hour of CBS religious shows Lamp Unto My Feet or Look Up & Live either. In February when CBS Canceled those 2 shows plus Camera Three, WCAU DID begin running CBS News Sunday Morning (which replaced the three canceled shows). They brought back SUnday Cartoons the next fall of 79. None of the CBS affiliates shown ran Sunday Morning hour of cartoons at this point.

That 8 AM slot was Marlo & Magic Movie Machine by the way on WMAR.
