Taking into consideration that this was the mid 80's, the time of year and the fact that it was an independent station i'm guessing that the 6 PM listing for KEKR 62 might have been an episode of Scooby Doo Where Are You?(there was an episode of Scooby Doo called that, I have it on DVD as a matter of fact), just guessing though.
 
Some questions:
What aired at 2:00 PM?
What year was the movie Dallas from?
Were Popeye and Pink Panther listed as one hour?

Could this had been "The Hilarious House of Frightenstein" only to be called something else here? I know back in the early 80's I remember seeing this show someplace and it was a bit bizzare complete with music such as a scene I remember where The Wolfman dancing to the Diana Ross tune "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" but it was called "Thriller Time" or something like it and NOT Hilarious House of Frightenstein though years later thanks to You Tube I found out it was indeed the latter.

But then again at the time of these listings Vincent Price was "cool" again with the younger crowd thanks to his voice being featured in the Michael Jackson "Thriller" music video so I will guess it wasn't Hilarious House.
