Retro: Nashville--Wed, March 13, 1974

NOTE: Over the next week or so, to mark my debut as a contributor, I will post on this site some schedules I have previously posted in other places. I will post all future schedules simultaneously. Over time, you readers will notice that I gradually include humorous remarks about some of the programming, so if you find anything offensive, by all means speak up. I have no purpose in doing this other than to contribute information; this is by no means an "ego trip" for me.

I guess newness is no sign of accuracy--you are correct. It WAS in fact Tuesday, March 12--I got mixed up when transcribing for the original post. Looks like I'm going to have to stay sharp on my facts if I don't want to wear out my welcome here, right?
 
Wasn't WLAC using the "Eyewitness News" name at this time? Recently I saw a clip on You Tube ( in wonderful B&W ) of Chris Clark doing the news on WLAC frm either late 1974 ( maybe 1975 ) where they were indeed using "Eyewitness News".

Interesting some years before these lsitings ( 1972 ? ), the old WSIX-TV 8, they were calling their news "Eyewitness News". You Tube not only has a clip of that but even a WSIX promo for The Mod Squad too.

I would put a link to those clips on here but the way some local stations are about such things, I am not going to bother. :(
