You are missing Channel 20 KTXA which had been on the air since early in 1983. KHTV seems unusual...No morning or afternoon cartoons were aired according to this schedule. Are you sure? I have a TV Guide from Fall of 85 and Fall of 84 and KHTV 39 had 2 hours of weekday morning cartoons and an hour of afternoon ones. I swear the Munsters were not on TV 39 by then but on TV 20...I need to research this more because KHTV's schedule just seems too unusual at a time cartoons were a huge part of these schedules.

One of the things I noticed is that there's a channel 20 listed in brackets, but not with the same black bullets as the other stations. Maybe that channel was KTXH, that wasn't mentioned in the station list by the paper.

Interesting schedule. The syndicated version of WoF wasn't yet paired with Jeopardy.

It still isn't in Houston. Wheel now airs on KHOU/CBS. I believe it did have Jeopardy! for a while but aired it in a late-night time slot, so KTRK/ABC took it off their hands in 2013 or so.

KTRK now airs it at 11:30 AM in daytime and the Jeopardy repeats known as "Daytime Jeopardy!" air at 1:05 AM. They had it at 3:00 PM when they first got it from KHOU, but now air a newscast at that time with Inside Edition at 3:30 PM.
