I'm curious: At exactly what point did KABC's afternoon movie show become The 3:30 Movie, as seen here? I see prior to then, it had been The 6:30 Movie, and before the FCC's 1971 "Prime Time Access Rule," The 6:00 Movie.

AFTERNOON
12:00

4-10- Jeopardy!

This has to obviously be some kind of misprint because Jeopardy! actually ended on January 3 (unless, oddly enough, KNBC actually did checkerboard scheduling in the 1 p.m. slot). What really aired in that time period?
 
"How to Survive a Marriage," which had aired at 2 p.m. Pacific Time, moved to Noon on Monday, January 6, 1975. Elsewhere in the U.S., it bombed against ABC's "Let's Make a Deal" and CBS' "As the World Turns" and ended a 15-month run on April 17, to allow for the expansion of "Days of Our Lives" to an hour.

Stations invariably ran the checkerboard arrangement during PTAR; it would have been next to impossible for both KNBC and San Diego's KGTV to do the same. The LA Times editors, for some reason, simply did not get the info about the January 6 scheduling change in time.
 
I don't know how far in advance the L.A. Times
had to get updated schedules, but you are correct:
"How To Survive A Marriage" should have been listed
at noon on Chs. 4 and 10 (it ran at 1:30 ET/12:30 CT).
NBC, while it followed Central Time until noon, did
not give noon-12:30 back to the affiliates on the West
Coast. They got their time at 3 PM PT.

Also notice that "The Big Showdown" and "Money Maze"
are running on a different schedule on the West Coast.
"Showdown" aired at 2:30 in the East, "Money Maze" at 4.
I don't know why, with KABC running its movie at 3:30,
ABC didn't go ahead at that time and follow Central Time
(10:30-3:30) as they eventually did.
 
Channel 10 dropped "How To Survive" when NBC moved it to noon; it ran the local news instead. Jeopardy! did end its run when "Another World" expanded to 60 minutes.

My explanation on the odd ABC West Coast pattern in 1974-1980 was that ABC wanted to keep as many shows at their current times as possible until they either got cancelled or otherwise when ABC decided to shift its daytime schedule up one hour, with The Brady Bunch reruns moved up to 10:30am to follow the CT pattern, shifted the two latest game shows to early morning (Girl in My Life was probably getting creamed by Match Game and Somerset at 2:30 PT here), and moving One Life to Live ahead an hour to 2:30, which worked better for ABC with that move. That left six shows following the ET pattern, two following the CT, and two that aired from 0-2 hours before they were shown on the ET/CT zones. Another would be the ABC West stations wanted the 3:30-4:30 cleared for lucrative syndication packages (reruns, movies, Mike, Phil, etc.)
