WKRC Ch. 12 Cincinnati (ABC)

4:30 ABC Afterschool Special: "Where Do Teenagers Come From?"
Dr. Lendon Smith explains puberty.

Suggestion: whenever you post a schedule that has this type of program, maybe you ought to have the courtesy of putting down the name of the regularly scheduled program(s) that were normally seen in the slot. Just sayin'.
 
Might not be a bad idea. For the record, Ch. 12
normally aired "Six Million Dollar Man" at 4 and "The
Muppet Show" at 5; 32 Alive normally aired "The Waltons"
at 4 and "Laverne & Shirley & Company" at 5; Ch. 36
normally aired "Tom And Jerry And Friends" at 4 and "Carter
Country" at 4:30; its regular 5 PM program, local news, was
obviously not pre-empted, which is why the "ABC Afterschool
Special" aired there at 4.
 
When did Cincinnati finally get Young and the Restless? It seems odd WCPO still never carried at this late date
