CHAU Channel 5 Carleton/CBGAT Channel 9 Matane/CBAFT Channel 11 Moncton (Radio-Canada)
9:00: Du neuf au zoo (Channel 5 only)

This is the francophone version of "News from Zoos", a CBC program about zoo animals.

WLBZ Channel 2 Bangor, Maine (NBC)
8:00: Real Kids

This was, I think, an aborted pilot for a "Real People" spinoff, but featuring kids as anchors and stories that feature or relate to kids. I recall Peter Billingsley being among the cast -- he would later join the cast of the main "Real People" program itself; he, of course, is more notable for his role in "A Christmas Story".

WVII Channel 7 Bangor, Maine (ABC)
11:30: 100 Huntley Street (yes, it was shown on at least one U.S. station)

The show was already starting to make headroads on American stations at the time, though mainly Christian stations -- locally here in the Tampa Bay area, WCLF (the flagship of the Christian Television Network) carried the show from around 1980 or so up through the 1990s -- they also carried a Greek-language version on Saturdays, but with a different host; this was due in part of the Greek population in Tarpon Springs.

Telecasts seen in the US usually also included an American telephone number -- early on, telecasts included a number with a 714 area code, which meant that California-based TBN was distributor at the time; later on, it started carrying a 412 number, when WPCB in Pittsburgh began distributing it.

I don't know if any US stations or networks carry "100" today, though many of them are carrying Crossroads' show for kids that was also a long running kids show in Canada -- "Circle Square".

12:15: Jim Barkker (sic)

Too bad it wasn't "Bob Barkker". ;D

WAGM Channel 8 Presque Isle, Maine (CBS/ABC/NBC)
8:00: PTL Club

It was around this time when "The PTL Club" television show was renamed "Jim Bakker", which was (sort of) listed as such on WVII -- apparently, either WAGM did not know of the new title, or they were playing older tapes of the show.

WMED Channel 12 Calais, Maine (PBS)
6:30: Wild Kingdom

Odd that a PBS station was showing a program sponsored by Mutual of Omaha -- did they offer a clean, unsponsored version to PBS stations?
