TVA was formally established in 1971 -- when exactly in 1971, I don't know.
Click to expand...

According to http://www.broadcasting-history.ca/index3.php , TVA launched on Sept 12th when CFTM, CFCM Quebec City and CJPM Chicoutimi began sharing selected programming; CHLT would switch from SRC to TVA in 1973 when CKSH-TV launched.

History of stations joining TVA:
1971: CFTM/CFCM/CJPM
1973: CHLT
1974: CFVO Hull (station went bankrupt in 1977 with CBOFT, the Ottawa SRC station, picking up TVA on a secondary basis until CHOT launched the following year)
1978: CFER Rimouski/CFEM Rouyn-Noranda/CIMT Riviere-du-Loup
1983: CHAU Carleton (the station, previously a SRC affiliate, aired secondary TVA for several years before the changeover)

1976: CHEM Trois-Rivieres

A quick correction on that- CHLT began carrying secondary TVA on that date, switching to full TVA service in September 1974.
 
Although I'm putting it on the wrong board, "Mantrap"
was another Canadian show seen in U.S. syndication;
a remake of the '50s series "Leave It To The Girls," it put
one man against a panel of three women (Margot Kidder was
a frequent panelist) and dared him to endure their attacks.
Alan Hamel (Mr. Suzanne Somers) was host, and I think Dick
Clark produced it. Also, "All About Faces" was produced in
Canada and ran in the U.S. for about a year; the only station
I remember carrying it was WALB Albany, GA.

And how did the ABC affiliates in Syracuse and Poland Spring
get the network news at 5:30? I thought ABC discontinued that
feed in 1968 and was doing its first feed at 6 by 1971.
 
Hard to believe that in 1971 WPTZ had no live color origination...at least, according to the listings. Both of their presumably local newscasts are in monochrome. By 1971, just about everyone had some kind of studio color camera...evidently WPTZ was late to that party. What's also interesting is that their listing for the Tonight Show isn't in color, either.

Not hard to believe at all. There's old thread on these boards about when stations went to local color. Some small-city stations lagged behind. WICZ in Binghamton didn't have color studio cameras until the mid seventies, sometime, just as an example. WENY/Elmira went on the air in 1969 with black-and-white cameras.

TV listings from that era tended to be more likely to refer to CBC even for French stations. That said, some predomently French CBC affiliates did air a limited amount of English programming at one time. In 1972 CHLT was airing an English show weekdays at 5 PM which was also carried on CKMI in Quebec City (both stations being co-owned at the time). Some French stations also aired CBC's National News. These practices were discontinued once English transmitters were added in the cities served by these stations, generally during the 70s.

Also TVA as a formal network was established in 1971, but I believe CJPM was sharing programming with CFTM as early as 1963 as CJPM did not have any source for programming other than a few local shows.
