A few things:
- TV Guide was in error when claiming that WOR's sign-on newscast was in B&W; I vividly remember seeing their slides-only news in color. From what I recall, Russ Dunbar was doing the sign-on news on weekdays in those days, and Phil Tonken did such newscasts at least on Saturdays.
- There was an irony to WOR running the by-then public TV Firing Line at this point, as it was at Channel 9 that the show was first launched in 1966, and there it remained until host William F. Buckley moved it to public TV (and its studio base elsewhere) in 1971.
- This was from a time when their Fright Night was temporarily off the air.

7:00 AM - Little Rascals (animated)

The Little Rascals (the 1930's episodes) weren't animated. Not until 1983 when ABC decided to do an animated series of The Little Rascals and before in 1981 when NBC aired an animated Christmas special of The Little Rascals were they animated.

...assuming this is Vince McMahon, Sr.'s WWWF with Junior doing hold-by-hold commentary. Interesting that the McMahons could afford house shows at Madison Square Garden but WOR-TV buried the show at midnight...

In which case, either Channel 8 or TVG bunged the listing up...given that TVG claimed WOR's news aired in B&W, could very well be the latter :D

No Saturday Night Live this night?

Was Weekendstill on once a month at this time?

And are those translator channels?
 
Rob Jason said:

Yes. For many years, all the major NYC stations had supplemental UHF translators to deal with multi-path issues in mid-town Manhattan. I believe I recall reading that after 9/11, WPIX reactivated theirs (or at least received permission to do so) for a brief time during those early post-attack days when the WTC stations were all improvising any way possible to restore OTA service to at least some of their coverage area.

Which leads to this question: When did the W60AI translator channel (Channel 60) come into effect for Channel 68?

Wikipedia claims 1977 as s/on date (maybe later in the year after this schedule was published). FCC file on them seems to only go back to 1980 or so.

- There was an irony to WOR running the by-then public TV Firing Line at this point, as it was at Channel 9 that the show was first launched in 1966, and there it remained until host William F. Buckley moved it to public TV (and its studio base elsewhere) in 1971.

Do you happen to know if these were first-run episodes or reruns?

I do recall TV Guide ads promoting the show for WOR circa 1976, FWIW.

If this is of help . . . there were two episodes dealing with gun control. One was taped in 1980. The one aired here was probably rerun from PBS, but was a relatively new episode, having been taped on Jan. 10, 1977. The guests are on the page linked below:
http://hoohila.stanford.edu/firingline/programView.php?programID=722
In short, this was within the "first-run" group and not reruns of his 1966-71 shows.

That was my take, wbhist, though I'm not sure if I ever saw an episode of this program on WOR myself (PBS/WNET is a totally different matter).

Thanks!
 
Did TVG did run ads of WWWF action on ch.9 to get people to watch at midnight.

It would not have been TV Guide's decision. The ad would have to be purchased by either WOR-TV or by the program producers. Given that WOR-TV would have still been owned by RKO General in 1977, I think the odds were heavily against such an ad appearing, as RKO tended to run ads only for airings of movies.
 
WTNH-ABC-8 - New Haven

7:00 AM - Little Rascals (animated)

The Little Rascals (the 1930's episodes) weren't animated. Not until 1983 when ABC decided to do an animated series of The Little Rascals and before in 1981 when NBC aired an animated Christmas special of The Little Rascals were they animated.

Actually YOU BOTH are sort of right. I was from Northern NJ and we got the NYC edition of TV Guide in our area even though we could not get Hartford stations. Some stores also offered the Philadelphia Edition B which had Philadelphia and NYC VHF stations. There was also an edition offered near Philadelphia that only had Philadelphia stations. The two editions eventually merged. Anyhow the NYC edition had tons of NYC minority watched and secondary PBS stations included along with our well known 7 VHF stations 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13. In our area with Cable we only got the major NYC VHF stations and Philadelphia major players back then. WIth a good roof antenna MAYBE you could get NYC UHF stations but few if any bothered trying. Anyhow did have people I know that lived an hour out of Hartford.

I did notice that the TV Guide listed Little Rascals as a cartoon but this was a mistake on the TV Guide's part. WTNH actually only showed that theatrical Littlke Rascals films from KIng World made by Hal Roach studios from 1929-38 from Interstate TV prints and later King WOrld White prints. I do not believe a carton rascals show was even made till the early 80's plus their 30 second 1979 PSA's that were animated. So Channel 8 did carry the theatricals not a cartoon....Also they did not carry the MGM ones from 38-44 from what I can gather.
