I don't know what that Pinceladas show on the Hartford CBS affiliate was. If it was a Hispanic themed show, this would strike me as somewhat remarkable for Hartford back in 1984. Also surprised that none of the syndicated daily business shows were showing up in the early morning lineups then. I don't think Jeopardy! returned to syndication until that fall. The CBS affiliate in Hartford wasn't carrying 'Press Your Luck' for some reason.

Thanks for putting this up!
 
I don't know what that Pinceladas show on the Hartford CBS affiliate was. If it was a Hispanic themed show, this would strike me as somewhat remarkable for Hartford back in 1984.

Why would you think that? Hartford had a large Hispanic population even back in the '80s, even had a Spanish-language FM station for a while to go along with AMs in the area. I don't know what "Pinceladas" was, either, but a Hispanic-oriented show on WFSB wouldn't be a total shock -- although on a weekday rather than buried on a Sunday morning is something of an eye-opener. Its time slot would indicate that the target audience was kids up early to get ready for school (or preschool), so maybe it was a Mon-Fri series.
 
I wasn't aware Hartford had such a population then. Was it primarily Puerto Ricans?

Yes. I believe there are more Dominicans in the mix now. (I'm sure David Eduardo, if he stumbles upon this thread, will have plenty of facts and figures on this.) In Meriden, where I am, much of the sizable Hispanic community can trace its roots not just to Puerto Rico but to one town in Puerto Rico -- Aguada.

To my south is Wallingford, whose small Hispanic population is, rather surprisingly, Mexican -- many work at a chemical plant located there. There are a couple of Mexican taquerias, grocery and clothing stores in the town, but I have a feeling the Mexican population of the Hartford and New Haven areas as a whole is tiny. There's never been any attempt to serve it via radio or TV.
