I trust this is "Mississippi", as per the MS listings earlier.

Why only 15 minutes of "Match Game"?

Should be "Doc".

I think this is the "+4" animated series.

A three-hour nature documentary? No wonder NBC was gasping for ratings.

"Protectors".
 
I wish I could change the errors for "Doc" and "Protectors", as I was typing in a room with light coming from another room. The edit times here should be longer.
 
Never knew WKRG took "Mississippi Game & Fish" .... it was a 15' syndicated offering produced out of Jackson; beyond that, or the obvious subject matter, I know nothing else about it.

It aired on a Memphis station, too (WMC-5), which meant the MG&FC program had coverage from the Missouri bootheel all the way as far east as Destin, Fla.

Plus, I was unaware that "Pas-Point Spotlight" aired on another station (I thought it was a local production of WLOX-13/Biloxi). For those unfamiliar with the region, the name is derived from two cities along the Miss. coast: (Pas)cagoula and Moss (Point).
