I assume Mickey Mouse Club was the 1970s version, wasn't it?

In 1978, yes. Also, in answer to the original poster's question
about the CBS Morning News, WWL did air it at 6 AM at that time,
followed by local news at 7.

Interesting to note, WWL doesn't even bother with carrying CBS' Early Show at all anymore. They have 4-hours of local news from starting at 5am.

I noticed theres evening listings only for WYES. Did WYES really sign on in the evenings back then?
