Can you post listings for Thursday 10/27/77?

Let Me Speak To The Manager is an idea which
originated at WFAA Dallas, where it was later called
Inside Television With Mike Shapiro (president
of Belo Broadcasting in the '70s). The program, which
featured station managers answering viewers' questions
about the station's programming and television in general,
aired under different names in different markets; I remember
one on WBTV Charlotte called Let's Talk TV. So the
Boston show, Ask The Manager, is probably same format,
different title.

 

[DToTheJ]

The only "ask the manager-" type show I ever witnessed was on a low-power public access TV station in New York City. The guy would sit in a studio for an hour and a half and take calls and talk about all the hokey programming the channel would air, as well as broadcasting in general.

So, was channel 3 basically a satellite of channel 2, or vice versa?

Vice versa...3 was the originating station of the Kansas State Network. IIRC 2's more or less relayed 3 since launch.

I have never seen such a program ( "Ask The Manager" ) on TV in the past other than that infamous press conference with the GM of the then FOX Martinsburg, WV affiliate WYVN-TV 60 but that was only a one time thing. However I do remember some type of radio show about the TV business on KMOX Radio out of St. Louis several years ago that ran on the weekends. Sadly I have since forgot who was the host of this

During one show I can remember the host had interviewed a woman who had lost her teenage son in the early 80's to mouth & jaw cancer because her son was way into Copenhagen snuff say 4 to 5 cans a WEEK. The boy's death would lead to strict health warnings on such products and of course would be one chief reason for the 1986 TV-radio ban for smokeless tobacco.

Same program they interviewed Allan Kayser who played "Bubba" on the TV show "Mama's Family".

13 Ellis Rainsberger (Kansas State)

Ellis Rainsberger is part of the answer to an all-time great football trivia question.
What is the only football team that had as many head coaches as they had wins?

Answer: the USFL's Pittsburgh Maulers, who went 3-15 during their inaugural
(and only) season in 1984. Coach Joe Pendry was fired ten games into the season
and replaced by offensive line coach Rainsberger. (Pendry had been summoned to
meet with owner Ed DeBartolo, Sr but had blown off the meeting!) Rainsberger was
considered the "interim" coach, and DeBartolo then went out and hired future Buffalo
Bills coach Hank Bullough to take over for the 1985 season. But the league then voted
to move to a fall schedule. Not wanting to compete head-to-head with the Pittsburgh
Steelers, DeBartolo folded the team and Bullough never coached a single game.
