Unless TVG completely mangled KFBB's listings, they're listed as airing Donahue a day ahead of the other stations; the men's pageant episode is listed for the next day on all other stations carrying Donahue. Raggedy Ann & Andy is a Saturday morning delay from CBS, it aired at 6am MT (KXGN didn't wake up until 6:30 on Saturday mornings). Other KXGN 4pm offerings:

Tues: Kissyfur (NBC, Sat 6am)
Wed: Gummi Bears (NBC, Sat 6:30am)
Thurs: Chipmunks (NBC, Sat 8am)
Fri: Punky Brewster (NBC, Sat 10am)

KXGN ran CBS's Saturday morning offerings in tandem with the network.

By my count, there were umpteen Channels 2, 4, 6..and maybe a few others. How did TVG differentiate (bullet colors, shadings, etc.)?
 
Montana can be an interesting area to look at in the TVGs. Some 2s were black, some 2s were white, some 2s had mixed black/white, and I think there was a 2 that was striped. Loads of 2s in the Montana TVG.
