As far as I know Mission: Impossible never aired in black and white.

5:30 Jack Benny (bw/guests: The Lettermen)

Is this the same Don Wilson who was the announcer for Jack Benny? If so, then this is the perfect fit for that.
 
I think Don Wilson (the same who was Jack
Benny's announcer) owned or co-owned that
station. Wouldn't surprise me if Benny's show
was a regular feature on the station.

A bit of irony about the Ted Mack Talent Search:
it may have been his last appearance, since he
passed away July 12, 1976. He had been approached
about hosting a new-talent segment on John Davidson's
NBC summer show that year but apparently cancer
prevented that from happening. It's also ironic that
Mack died just a few weeks after the premiere of a
show satirizing his format: "The Gong Show." I'd have
loved to hear his thoughts on that show.
 
KHJ Channel 9 L had ROmper Room? I thought 13 KCOP had it. It was KHJ's then sister station WOR-TV New York that had Romper Room. KHJ TV had Froozles. Or did this change some time in 1976 or 77. On one retro schedule both KHJ and KCOP had Romper Room. So I am unsure that KHJ having ROmper Room was accurate.

Channel 40 had PTL Club? Are you sure? I believe TBN never had Jim Bakker's PTL Club. Jim Bakker left TBN by 1974 and started the PTL CLub in Charlotte late that year. Paul Crouch did have a show called Praise The Lord. Maybe that was the show not PTL Club...Two different shows. It would be unusual for TBN to carry PTL being Bakker left abruptly. I know in the late 70's until 1987 TBN Carried niether PTL or 700 CLubs. They added 700 Club fall of 1987. But I believe TV 40 had Praise The Lord in the slot PTL Club was listed in.

Romper Room did air on KHJ at that time. As for PTL, based on what you've said, 40's show could very well be Crouch's show, though TVG used "PTL Club" for both Crouch's and Bakker's shows.

A shout out to bpatrick to ask is this still ET clock time (not CT) for the ABC
daytime schedule on the left coast? I just can't recall Janitor Hospital ever
being on at 4/3.

And was Edge really in a midday slot or was noon a local hole and the soap
actually at 3:30 (ET?) and thus airing a day behind?
 
Actually it's neither ET clock time, which ABC had
used on the West Coast prior to 1974 when KABC
and KGO started 5 PM newscasts and moved their
movies to 3:30, nor CT. ABC had a different feed for the
West Coast until the late '70s, IIRC, when it finally
started duplicating Central Time. The Eastern feed
was:

According to the Los Angeles Times, the West Coast ABC feed changeover took effect Monday, April 1, 1974 (but it was no April Fool's joke). That was the point at which KABC's The 6:30 Movie became The 3:30 Movie. Presumably, KGO's daily movie changed times that same day.
 
I had to note the presence of The Sam Yorty Show at 9:00 on KCOP 13. He had been the three term Mayor of Los Angeles, and was out of office by 76. He was a right-wing Democrat (if you can imagine that outside the South), and famously beat Councilman Tom Bradley in 1970 or 71 by reminding voters constantly that Bradley was a "Negro," and implying that he must have ties to Black radical groups like the Black Panthers.

Yorty won, but Bradley beat him 4 years later. Yorty's first talk show was on KHJ-TV in the late 60s, while he was still Mayor. As a TV talk host, Yorty was surprisingly adept.

Fans of Roger Ramjet may remember the villain Professor Mayoryorty...a parody of Sherlock Holmes' Professor Moriarty.

b or wb:

Was there ever an explanation from ABC as to why they used
such a convoluted left coast pattern?

Since ABC daytime ran from 10:30 AM-3:30 PM PT, they could
have easily gone to a CT clock time schedule with their change
in 1974.

I can only justify one timeslot, and that's if Break The Bank was
a live show (although by '74 I'd doubt it) and ABC also wanted
it to air live on the left coast (2:30 ET/11:30 PT).

As it is, with this PT schedule there were still four shows airing on
ET clock time plus two on CT clock time; the other four winding up
at times not in either pattern.
 
I never knew why ABC's Pacific feed was like this.
"Break The Bank" was not live.

I remember that "The Money Maze" aired at 4 PM
(ET)/11 AM (PT) about a year before, and I believe
"The Big Showdown" aired at the same time in all
four time zones: 2:30 (ET)/11:30 (PT). But again,
I don't know if ABC ever explained it; if they did,
I never saw it in a Los Angeles or San Francisco
newspaper.
 
Bluenoser:
I don't know if the name ever officially changed to just "News," but when the 11:30 pm news following "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" began it was called: "MetroNews, MetroNews." ;-)

Also, it was done with two anchors sitting at desks and done in a light hearted manner. (This is done from memory of an article in Broadcasting magazine, and as a visitor to LA and being able to see an episode or two.)

Mike

By the way, those are wonderful schedules of a better time in TV viewing. Oh for a return to that type of programming philosophy.

KTTV's 10:00 News was titled "MetroNews"....I assume because it was a MetroMedia station. At 11:30 following Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman was "MetroNews, MetroNews." It wasn't meant to be a regular newscast. I only saw it once or twice, but I recall that they took a satirical tone.

The MetroNews title may well have been due to the Metromedia connection . . . and within a few years of this date, The 10 O'Clock News title (already in use at KTTV's sister stations WTTG in Washington, DC and WNEW-TV in New York) would be taken by KHJ-TV. (Wasn't KTLA's newscast called the News at Ten?)
 
Re: KTLA News at 10

I don't know when it started but I noticed they kept that title for many years. I see where it was dumped a year ago or so for whatever they called it now. Stan Chambers used "News at Ten" as the title for his books.

I know in the late 70's until 1987 TBN Carried niether PTL or 700 CLubs. They added 700 Club fall of 1987.
I dunno, but I remember TBN carrying The 700 Club as early as 1984. I lived in Phoenix from 1983-85 and was young enough to recall this.

I do know though that KJNP-TV in North Pole/Fairbanks has always aired 700 Club since day one (they signed on in December 1981).
 
StL took 4h 46m and 17 innings to defeat NYM 4-3 that night. How did ABC's left coast stations handle the tape delay that night, given how the game unfolded?

Also, did MNB ever air live in Mountain Time?

I turned 15 in 1976 and remember MNB had irregular (less than weekly) scheduling similar to CBS's Saturday baseball in the early '90s. Also, ABC's MNB ended on Labor Day night, just as NBC's MNB did when the Peacock had the rights 1971-1975. All IIRC.

I can't speak for the entire MST zone, but I believe all sports is played live and not tape delayed on TV. I can't think of any instance where there was a tape delay.

At least on TV. Back in the early 70s a local news talk sports station delayed the Monday-Friday broadcasts of the Los Angeles Dodgers when they had road trips to the east coast. The broadcasts would start at 4: 30 pm local time, and the station delayed the start to 6:05.

A friend of mine working at an MOR station would give out scores and mention the Dodgers game. A listener called in to say the game hadn't started yet, but was told that the game was underway the station was just tape delaying the broadcast.

Forgot the boxscore link. Note Joe Torre's line for the Mets that night/morning at 1B. I remember when he was NL MVP for StL in 1971, which when I first heard of him. Also, my bad: the *Amazins*, managed by Joe Frazier (no, not that one) won that game 4-3, not the Redbirds. (brain lock while getting ready to head for work yesterday) :-[
