Yep, channel 39 had "News Before The Hour". During the afternoon cartoons, the "anchors" were local kids/teens.

Some of the local shows:
Turn On - Youth-Oriented public affairs show hosted by Ed Brandon.
Harold Gunn - local talk show hosted by "Captain Harold", who also hosted a B-movie show on the weekends.
Dialing for Dollars - Don Nelson hosted the Houston version.
Calendar - local talk show hosted by....I'm blanking on the guy's name, he was also the ch. 39 booth announcer.
