WNCT Ch. 9 Greenville, NC (CBS)
4 PM Tattletales (same as Ch. 2)

Point of order...while it may be from the same "batch" of five shows with the same couples,
it wouldn't be the same exact show, since isn't WFMY at 9:30 AM a day behind? (WNCT is
airing the network feed at 4 PM ET.)


WBTW Ch. 13 Florence, SC (CBS/ABC)
8 AM Captain Kangaroo
9 AM CBS News

The 7 AM ET CBS Morning News (with Hughes Rudd) aired by WBTW on a two-hour delay?
 
Correct on "Tattletales." WFMY and WTVD aired the
show on a day-behind, but for some reason the couples
didn't change until Wednesday on WNCT and Thursday
on WFMY and WTVD.

Also correct about the CBS Morning News airing on a
two-hour delay on WBTW. They had their own programming
in the 7-8 AM hour, so the newscast was used to fill the hour
between "Captain Kangaroo" and whatever aired at 10 (at that
time, "The Price Is Right"). Why they didn't do what WNCT did--
air CBS News at 8 and the Captain at 9--I don't know.

Game show producers had, by this time, given up on keeping the week's celebs
airing on a strict Monday-Friday basis, since the shows were taped in advance
and were subject to unplanned spot preemptions. (Watergate hearings anyone?)

You may recall at the end of a game show, the host refrained from saying "see you
tomorrow" or "see you Monday," but said the more generic "see you next time."
 
Jack Barry, a veteran of live TV in the '50s, had to break
an old habit when he started doing "Joker's Wild" on CBS
in 1972: asking contestants at the end of the show if they
could "come back tomorrow." Of course they could; the "next
day"'s show would start taping in about ten minutes. Don't
know if any contestants from "Friday"'s show didn't make it
back for "Monday" (taped either the following day or following
week).
