No, they aired color bars. This would have been right after signon.

Was WPMI's David Paul the same guy who had the hilarious 3-minute stint as a radio host on WGST in Atlanta earlier this year?

Was APT also off Saturday mornings?

I find it kind of unusual for a PBS station (or ANY station) to be off the air most of the day on weekends -- by the 1980s, everyone shold've already had an all-day schedule everyday.

Maybe APT was having some financial trouble, perhaps?

No, they showed children's programming on Saturdays, as they do on both Saturday and Sunday mornings now.

They're still off the air from 12:30am-7am on weekdays. I don't think it had anything to do with any specific financial trouble, they've always been pretty cheap.
