I was born in Pocatello in 1956 but our family moved to California when I was very young. I did live there again between June and Sept 1972 and spent many summers up there otherwise. How well I recall primetime shows being taken off the network feed "live" from the east coast which meant that a show that was on at 8pm ET/PT would be shown at 6pm in Idaho during the dinner hour. KIFI's news included the hyperactive weathercaster Lloyd Lindsay Young (now of KGO, San Francisco I believe). His weather segments were very personable and informative. Both the Idaho State Journal and the Post-Register listed each stations schedule separately, exactly as you have done (rather than the familiar multi channel format that most of us are familiar with). In regard to KBGL, the call letters stood for "Bengal" the mascot of their licensee, Idaho State University. Pocatello's second station, channel 6 (KTLE), I believe first came on about 1973-74 era and went dark soon after. By 1975 KPVI was on 6 permanently.
