Retro: KTVF Channel 11 schedule (March 31, 1996)

[johnnya2k6]

I've decided to jump ahead and bring you a '90s schedule. Why the KTVF schedule from 3/31/96, you ask? This was Channel 11's last day as a CBS affiliate after 41 years of being a "loyal friend and true" (to quote Bob Barker) of the network; the next day, they would start a new life as part of the NBC family.Source: Fairbanks Daily News-Miner8:00amNBA on NBC: New York Knicks at Orlando Magic10:30National Georgaphic on Assignment (back-to-back)12:30pmCollege Basketball's Road to Glory1:30The Final Two (Preview of the following night's NCAA Final Four championship game between Kentucky and Syracuse; the former would win)2:00Star Trek: Voyager3:00Land's End4:00Nowhere Man (Yes, KTVF also ran UPN shows until 2000)5:00Wings5:30Friends (starring Jennifer Aniston, who FINALLY has the #1 movie in America right now!)6:00Seinfeld6:30CBS Evening NewsAnd from there, KTVF's last CBS primetime...7:0060 Minutes8:00Cybill8:30Bonnie9:00CBS Sunday Movie: "Tango & Cash"11:00CBS Sunday Night News11:30CheersMidnightHomicide: Life on the Street1:00amER ("The Match Game")2:00Wheel of Fortune2:30Jeopardy!I wonder how the master control operator felt when the "This is CBS" ID was shown for the last time following the late Sunday news. Maybe he shed a tear thinking, "Well...that's that. We'll miss you, CBS."By the way...the NCAA basketball championship and the Masters as well as some CBS shows including Letterman, 60 Minutes, and Young and the Restless (sorry, no Price is Right) would be on KFXF Fox 7 temporarily until they launched KXD Channel 13 that August.Jonathan Allen
