WHAS Ch. 11 Louisville (CBS)
3 PM Medical Center (delay from Wed 9 PM)
...
5 PM Hawaii Five-O (delay from Wed 10 PM)

This smells of "let's run a local movie on Wednesday nights 9-11
and shunt these shows to really bad Saturday fringe and still kinda
bad Saturday fringe."

McGarrett probably wants Danno to book WHAS for murder one. ;D

 

[azumanga]

WCPO Ch. 9 Cincinnati (CBS)

2 PM Upbeat (Tim L, didn't this show originate
at WEWS?)

Yes it did, and it was also syndicated nationwide -- for another few months, anyway (it ended in 1971).

WXIX Ch. 19 Cincinnati (Ind.)

12 N Now Explosion (a big victory for Ted
Turner--he got this for WTCG when
the 1969-71 edition of WATL folded)

Actually, as I read it on Wikipedia, the old WATL was still on the air when Turner stole Now Explosion, which was WATL's most popular (and lucrative) program -- after that show's move to WTCG, WATL would close down.

WHAS Ch. 11 Louisville (CBS)
3 PM Medical Center (delay from Wed 9 PM)
...
5 PM Hawaii Five-O (delay from Wed 10 PM)

This smells of "let's run a local movie on Wednesday nights 9-11
and shunt these shows to really bad Saturday fringe and still kinda
bad Saturday fringe."

McGarrett probably wants Danno to book WHAS for murder one. ;D

...and no doubt Chad Everett would want to sue WHAS for malpractice. ;D

I would think WHAS would eventually clear these shows in pattern, once they became very popular.

 

[Tim L]

2 PM  Upbeat (Tim L, didn't this show originate
           at WEWS?)

As azmunga mentioned above, the show originated from WEWS until September, 1971...Host Don Webster said in TV 5 anniversary shows that they would rehearse Saturday Morning, break for lunch, then videotape straight through then play the tape for  the local broadcast at 5PM.  Some acts would forget to return after lunch..
Here's a lineup announced by Don Webster for a following weeks broadcast:

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
Spanky and Our Gang
Bobby Vee
The Happenings
Bobbie Gentry
Jackie Wilson
The Outsiders
Peaches And Herb
The Five Americans

Great lineup there..


Some of the Story of "Upbeat" as told by Don Webster..
Along with a little on "Polka Varieties" and "The Gene Carroll Show"

I do seem to recall Now Explosion on Ch. 17 in Atlanta in
the summer of 1970, which would have been while the old
WATL was still on the air.

As for WHAS, yes, they did run a movie Wednesdays 9-11 at
that time and, yes, they did eventually carry Medical Center
and Hawaii Five-O in pattern. I remember that about the same
time, WAGA was doing the same thing, only they carried Hawaii
Five-O at the same time WHAS did (Saturday 5 PM) and pre-empted
Medical Center. Eventually, both shows aired in pattern in Atlanta.

Georgia pulled off a major upset in that 1970 game,beating Auburn 31-17. Georgia went 5-5 and Auburn went 9-2(beating Ole Miss 35-28 in the Gator Bowl).

 

[Tim from Springfield IL]

Nov. 14, 1970 was also a tragic day in the annuals of college football history--it was also the day of the plane crash outside Huntington, WV (just east of the area covered in this listing) that killed the entire Marshall University football team (at about 7:35 PM that evening). This is the subject of the movie We Are Marshall. This tragedy probably, IMO, would have been covered on the 11PM newscasts that evening.

That was terrible,I shed quite a few tears watching that movie. What year was it that Wichita State's team plane crashed?

I want to say 1973 but i'm not sure, I do remember reading that it was in the early 70's though
