Judging by what 18 airs at 11:30 AM, I'll take a guess and say "PM Magazine" at 6:30 PM.

What did 18 and 47 air at 6:30-9:00 PM the other weeknights?

Here's what I've got:

WVTV 18
6:00 Gimme a Break!
6:30 Facts of Life
7:00 Love Boat
8:00 Movie
10:00 Benny Hill
10:30 Tonight Show (WTMJ ran Magnum in that slot)

WMSN 47
6:00 Benson
6:30 Mork & Mindy
7:00 various programs, but usually a movie
10:00 Late Show
 
6:30
18-47 NBA: Milwaukee-Boston

I believe this was the second year that WMSN carried Milwaukee Bucks games. They and the Brewers telecasts (since they were on WVTV at this time) pretty much came as packaged deal, albeit the two teams never had common ownership. Prior to WMSN, WKOW carried the Bucks and Brewers in Madison. WQRF in Rockford also carried selected Bucks and Brewers games (as well as Chicago Bulls and White Sox games from WFLD), although not on this night.
 
Bringing it back to my previous post in this thread... You mean to tell me that there was a station that actually ran "PM Magazine" only in the "AM"? :eek:

...probably to burn off the contract. WISN-TV/12 originally had the Milwaukee PM Magazine franchise but dropped it by then...
