WATR 20-NBC Waterbury

10:00 Golddiggers

Two things: No. 1, Ch. 7 in Boston was WNAC at that time(it didn't become WHDH until 1990), and Ch. 8 in New Haven was
still WNHC(it would change to WTNH around 1973). And No. 2, what kind of a show was "Golddiggers?" Was it a variety show hosted
by Dean Martin's girl group?
 
Whoops...didn't notice I listed 7 as WHDH, force of habit, I guess (WHDH has been on local cable here since '96). Golddiggers was indeed a show from Dean Martin's group.
 
I see Hartford and Boston didn't clear the kooky soap Where the Heart Is. That noon time-slot on the East coast killed it. I'm very surprised that Hartford shifted Gomer Pyle back a half hour to preempt The Edge of Night. Edge was going like gangbusters at this time. It was a solid number 2 in the daytime ratings just behind As the World Turns. It looks like WTIC would've preempted LIAMST or GL instead. Same with WHDH keeping all of their cellar dwelling ABC soaps but not clearing One Life to Live which was higher rated than their other soaps.
 
I see neither WTIC and WHDH cleared the kinky soap Where the Heart Is. I guess that noon time slot really killed it in Eastern time zones. And what about WTIC shifting Gomer Pyle back a half hour and pre-empting The Edge of Night? Edge was going like gangbusters at that time, a solid #2 in the Nielsens just behind As the World Turns. Looks like WTIC would've not cleared one of CBS's other underachievers instead.

Same with WNAC not clearing One Life to Live which was rating well compared to all of ABC's other cellar dweller soaps.
 
I see Where the Heart Is was a no-go in both Hartford and Boston. The noon time slot killed it in Eastern times zones. I'm really surprised that WTIC shifted Gomer Pyle back a half hour and pre-empted The Edge of Night. Edge was a solid #2 in the national Nielsens, just behind World Turns. Looks like WTIC would've not cleared another one of CBS's underachievers instead,

Same with WNAC not clearing One Life to Live, which rated fairly well, but keeping all of ABC's other cellar dweller soaps.

I see Hartford and Boston didn't carry Where the Heart Is. I guess the noon time slot really did it in on the east coast.

I'm surprised that WTIC shifted Gomer Pyle back a half hour and passed on The Edge of Night. Edge was coming on like gangbusters at that time, a solid second place in the national Nielsens, just behind ATWT.

Same with WNAC not clearing One Life to Live, which was doing well, but they cleared all the other cellar dwelling soaps in the noon to 1:30 slot.
 
In answer to Bluenoser's request on Boston anchor teams in 1970:

At WBZ-4, Jack Chase and Shelby Scott co-anchored the noon newscast, which dominated ratings in the Noon slot. Tom Ellis anchroed the 6 and 11 P.M. newscasts.

At the old WHDH-5, I beloieve (but not 100% certain) that Rosemarie VanCamp and Chet Curtis co-anchored the Noon news, but I do know that Jack Hynes anchored the newscasts at 6 and 11 P.M.

Over at the old WNAC-7, I'm not sure who anchored the weeknight newscasts around 1970, but I think it may have been Lee Nelson, who was paired with Chuck Scarborough around the Spring of 1972, about the time it became a CBS affiliate.

Also interesting to note that all of WEDH-24's programing was in black-and-white, even though many NET/PBS programs were produced in color by then. Perhaps it (and the other CPTV stations) couldn't transmit a color signal.

Question: I thought Channel 8 didn't become WTNH until around 1971, or am I wrong??
