[genius]

Interesting daytime schedules for all three Big 3’s at the time. I knew WTVF’s lineup was always historically interesting but WKRN and WSMV are just as interesting as well. In the case of WKRN I am surprised that they just didn’t air news at 11:30 instead of 12:30. I wonder AMC was a day behind airing at 11:30? Very odd.

 

[anotherguyTN]

This was during the period when TV Guide was experimenting with a larger edition in some areas, which included Nashville. I was only able to get one copy of that version, which I still have. It was basically the same issue as the smaller editions only laid out in a larger format. Of course they didn't stay with it at that time until the larger edition was introduced nationwide in 2005, which was the same time local schedules were dropped. I tried to find a copy of the large Fall Preview during that time, but was never able to find one. Even looking on Ebay I haven't been able to find one, and it it does happen, it will probably be at an excessive price.
