WVNY-22 signed off at 11 pm back at that time? Why was that? Also, they didn't come on until 11:30 am. Someone help me.

...during WVNY/22's earliest years, as the only commercial UHF station visible OTA in Burlington and Montreal, the station had an uphill climb in getting viewers out of the habit of tuning in WMTW/8 for their ABC programming. WMTW's signal encompassed both Burlington and Montreal, and the entire eastern half of WVNY's signal area. Since ABC only scheduled daytime programming starting at 11:30 AM ET, and other, larger affiliates passed on the reruns of primetime series and newer soap operas (for ex, at this time That Girl daytime reruns and All My Children were seen in Milwaukee on WVTV/18 when WITI/6 rejected them for their own runs of The Mike Douglas Show and a noon newscast), WVNY probably decided to simply run just enough of the ABC schedule to keep the network satisfied and maintain the affiliation for the time being. Forgoing The Dick Cavett Show, never a really big draw against Merv Griffin on WCAX-TV/3 and Johnny Carson on WPTZ/5, also allowed for saving 7-1/2 hours' worth of electricity and labor costs each week. It's also worth noting that WVNY didn't run ABC's Saturday and Sunday morning kiddie shows or public affairs programming, signing on at 1:00 Saturday for ABC's NCAA football game and 6:30 PM Sunday with a rerun of The Dick Van Dyke Show...
