The final day of KTVF as a CBS affiliate...
8:00am--NBA on NBC: New York Knicks at Orlando Magic
10:30--National Georgaphic on Assignment (back-to-back)
12:30pm--College Basketball's Road to Glory
1:30--The Final Two (Preview of the following night's NCAA Final Four championship game between Kentucky and Syracuse; the former would win)
2:00--Star Trek: Voyager
3:00--Land's End
4:00--Nowhere Man (Yes, KTVF also ran UPN shows until 2000)
5:00--Wings
5:30--Friends
6:00--Seinfeld
6:30--CBS Evening News
7:00--60 Minutes
8:00--Cybill
8:30--Bonnie
9:00--CBS Sunday Movie: "Tango & Cash"
11:00--CBS Sunday Night News (a moment of silence for the last CBS program to ever air on KTVF after 41 years)
11:30--Cheers
Midnight--Homicide: Life on the Street
1:00am--ER ("The Match Game")
2:00--Wheel of Fortune
2:30--Jeopardy!
A few short hours later, KTVF returned to the air...now as the NEW NBC affiliate in Fairbanks! That meant the Thursday night comedies they aired on Sundays would finally air on Thursdays where they belong, as well as the returns of "NBC Nightly News" and "Another World" (for daytime fans, which ended its run in 1999) after a decades-long absence.
Bob Barker/Dan Rather fans would have to wait till August, when K13XD marked the full-time return of CBS in the Golden Heart City (by then, The Price Is Right would've been the last ever show to finally switch to chyron).
