On WANX/ch. 46, Jackson 5 And Friends was a pairing of two packages. The Jackson Five cartoon aired Mondays and Fridays while elements of The Fun World Of Hanna-Barbera package ran Tuesdays through Thursdays. Because channel 46 was owned by Pat Robertson's CBN organization, shows and scenes depicting magic or any supernatural stuff was forbidden, so The Funky Phantom was left out. The Perils Of Penelope Pitstop was on Tuesdays, Wacky Races and The Amazing Chan & The Chan Clan aired on alternate Wednesdays, and Dastardly & Muttley In Their Flying Machines aired Thursdays. Similarly on the Fred Flintstone and Friends package, Jeannie and Goober & The Ghost Chasers were omitted and replaced with cartoons from Magilla Gorilla and Peter Potamus.
 
I probably was the transmitter engineer on duty that day at WCWB.
