That's odd that WVUE Channel 8 did not air any of the ABC soaps....
 
WWL-4 (CBS)

9:30 AM Dick Van Dyke

Didn't The Joker's Wild and/or Gambit premiere around this time?

WVUE-8 (ABC)

Yes it is strange that All My Children, General Hospital, and One Life To Live weren't shown not only that, The Dating Game wasn't shown either.
 
Joker's Wild, Price Is Right, and Gambit
all debuted September 4, 1972. WWL
didn't carry Gambit, opting for To Tell
The Truth at 10 AM (Central).

About WVUE not carrying the ABC soaps,
that jumped out at me the first time I
saw a New Orleans schedule, in 1970,
and I used to tell people about that,
usually to blank stares. I keep thinking
that might have changed in the fall of
'72; I seem to recall WVUE dropping Love,
American Style at 3. Can anyone locate
a New Orleans daytime schedule from that
fall?

What did the normal weekday schedule look like?
 
I also recall WVUE picking up What's My Line? at 6:30
in the fall of '72, and I think ABC News moved to 5 PM,
but my memory's hazy on that one. WDSU was the
only station to "checkerboard" 6:30; I remember Anything
You Can Do and Wait Till Your Father Gets Home being on
Ch. 6.

IIRC, WDSU pre-empted Three On A Match at 12:30; not
sure if Somerset was pre-empted at 3.

What you have there is the normal NBC daytime schedule
in 1972. If you're talking about the normal WDSU schedule,
I'm almost positive that "Midday" aired 12-1 and pre-empted
"Three On A Match." What I'd like to see is a New Orleans
schedule from the fall of '72, on a "normal" day (no political
conventions or other special events); I'd like to see if I'm
right about that and also what WDSU aired at 3.
 
In the Fall of 1972, Midday was still an hour show or to be 100% specific a 55 min. show. Earl Nightingale ran from 12:55 to 1 pm.

In 1972 WDSU still aired Somerset at 3, but by the Fall of 1973 the afternoon movie started at 3 running for 2 hours instead of 90 min.

WVUE briefly cleared One Life To Live and General Hospital starting in Jan. 1974, but by that fall they were off the schedule again. All My Children briefly showed up in 1975 and 1976 when ABC had the show at 11:30 am, but by Jan. 1977 it was gone again.

It wasn't until the Fall of 1977 that WVUE added the ABC soaps permanently.
