I would have been 5 years old. I don't remember if I watched it or not ;D They played the Grey Cup early in those days eh!
 
Re the ABC affiliate in Pembina: did ABC pre-empt "The FBI" that night,
or did Ch. 12 pre-empt it regularly? It would have been on at 7 PM (CT), between
"Land Of The Giants" and the "ABC Sunday Night Movie." What I find so
strange is that two movies are scheduled back-to-back, one at 7, followed
by one at 8:50.

To me, that looks like a couple of local movies preempting everything on ABC from 7-10 PM. I can't find any postings for that night from other editions of TVG, but maybe someone can confirm what ABC ran that night.
 
I believe KCND (which I suspect really targeted Winnipeg) went out of business a few years later and that the founders of the Global TV Network successfully convinced the CRTC to put in a VHF allocation (Channel 9?) in the Winnipeg area.

They went as far as buying the technical facilities of KCND (except the tower and antenna), moved the equipment north of the border, and launched their new station with the KCND gear.

The new station became (and I think to this day is still known as) CKND-TV.

That was indeed the case. Here's a quote about KCND from Timothy Green's The Universal Eye, a 1972 book about television around the world:

"The village of Pembina in North Dakota seems a strange place to have a powerful television station. Only a couple of hundred people live there and the nearest American town of any size is many miles away. But the advertisers who queue up to buy time on KCND-TV Pembina have their eye not on Americans, but on the half a million Canadians living just north of the border in the city of Winnipeg. The investment pays off; the people of Winnipeg spend a fifth of their viewing time watching the Pembina station."
