WXII Channel 12's "Nitelite Theater" offered, every Friday from June 1976 to November 1979, the Triad's only all-night television programming. It was originally hosted by Art Neal and Zachary Gibson, but they were gone by early 1977, at which point the show aired without hosts. Each week's presentation began with a film, followed by an episode of an old series (e.g., "The Invaders," "The High Chaparral"), and concluded--at least in its early days--with a second movie. The schedule for July 16 (or, to be more accurate, the wee hours of the 17th) was Ferde Grofe, Jr.'s cult heist thriller "Day of the Wolves" (1971), followed by an episode of "The Twilight Zone," and concluded with another Grofe picture, his oddball western "The Proud and Damned" (1972). I've often wondered what became of Neal and Gibson--does anyone out there know?
