Nothing for 61 WRIP TV - anyhow even then that station was one wierd station with plenty of local religion and syndicated Christian preaching and teaching and very little entertainment. I believe they stayed that way until the Fall of 1981. There is a schedule from the Summer of 1981 where WRIP TV was still nearly all religious. By Summer of 82 the station was half and half - my guess fall of 81, WRIP TV began acquiring some real programming.....Only way to get a schedule from the 1981 era it seems is to go to Chattanooga and visit a library and look at some old microfilm I guess.
 
By 1981 TV Guide had a Knoxville-Chattanooga edition; you can look at some of those
to see what Channel 61 was doing. It was out of the Atlanta edition for a time but was
back in at least by the time it became the Fox affiliate in Chattanooga. One station that
never came back to the Atlanta edition was Chattanooga's PBS affiliate, WTCI/45.

Some of you in my part of the country may recall that in August 1980 two editions of
TV Guide (North Carolina and Carolina-Tennessee) were split into five:

Eastern North Carolina
Charlotte (later Central North Carolina)
Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville
Knoxville/Chattanooga
Bristol/Kingsport/Johnson City

Around that time the two UHF stations in Chattanooga were
dropped from the Atlanta edition although, as I said, Channel
61 was restored. That turned out to be very convenient, as
I found out when I went to Dalton, GA, to do some research
back in the '90s. Dalton's cable system carried all the Chattanooga
stations, but only WSB, WAGA, and WXIA from Atlanta (so two ABC,
two Fox, and two NBC stations, but only one CBS--WDEF.) Dalton got
the Atlanta edition, but if you went to the next county north (and the
last Georgia county before Chattanooga) you got the Knoxville/Chattanooga
edition. I suppose it didn't hurt to have both, if you could afford it, because
TV Guide was beginning to price itself out of range by that time (1999).

Slightly off-topic, but it was rather sad to see TV Guide go from its longtime
15 cent copy price to about $2.49 by the time it quit publishing the digest-size
version. And in the later, Murdoch years, TV Guide was far less informative and
more tabloidy.
 
Channel 61 became WDSI early in 1983. It was back in the Atlanta edition by 1984. I have a July 1984 edition of TV Guide and WDSI is in there. So I have TV 61 Chattanooga Schedules on this board till Summer of 1981... None from Summer of 1981 till Summer of 82...Have a Summer of 82 on this board..But nothing from between Summer of 82 and Spring of 84. I have a Summer of 84 listing of WDSI and plenty thereafter.
 
Again, if you can find any Knoxville-Chattanooga issues from 1981 to
1984 you'll find Channel 61. A good place to start would be on ebay;
there's a vendor in Knoxville who calls herself nostalgiagirl1988 and
is where I get most of my Carolina-Tennessee TV Guides. She usually
has some Knoxville-Chattanoogas as well.

15 cent copy price to about $2.49 by the time it quit publishing the digest-size
version. And in the later, Murdoch years, TV Guide was far less informative and
more tabloidy.

Of course, there was a three-fold reason WTCI/45 got left out of the new Atlanta edition in the early Eighties: 1) its signal was almost certainly the weakest of Chattanooga's OTA stations of that time, since its licensee then was the Tennessee Board of Education, meaning it had no autonomy to turn up the juice on its stick; 2) Georgia Public TV having a translator on channel 18 (licensed to Chatsworth) covered most if not all the counties in the northwestern corner of the state, making WTCI superfluous there; and 3) the old 15% rule kicked in here; I've never seen a coverage map of WTCI, but I suspect the signal did not carry much farther south of Dalton, and certainly not down to the northwestern metropolitan Atlanta fringe, which would have been necessary to make it.

And bp is right as rain about the quality of TVG deteriorating from the golden Annenberg days, the years when it was America's largest-subscribed-to publication by a large margin. But then, again, that's the raison d'etre for this forum. We can reminisce to our heart's content while digging up our old faves on Hulu, Netflix, YouTube or wherever--on demand, not waiting for Nick at Nite or TV Land like we had to do back in the Nineties.

bp, thanks for providing us with our word of the day: "tabloidy." (!!!)

I think this was the first week after the WSB/WXIA affiliation switch.
 
More accurately, it was the week of the switch; 2 and 11 made the change Monday, September 1, even though they had swapped some daytime shows during the summer. Because the NBC soap "Texas" debuted Aug. 4, four weeks before the switch, Ch. 2 passed on it and 11 picked it up, along with "Another World" and "The Doctors." David Letterman was passed up by Ch. 2 as well (they'd contracted to carry Mike Douglas when Westinghouse replaced him with John Davidson (Ch. 5) and he had to find a new syndicator), and he ended up on 11 Alive before the switch officially took place. In exchange, Ch. 2 got "General Hospital," "One Life To Live," "Edge Of Night, "Family Feud," and "Love Boat" reruns; everything else (day and night) changed Sept. 1. Interestingly, there was one soap Ch. 2 didn't give up until it had to: "Days Of Our Lives," while 11 Alive hung onto "All My Children" and "Ryan's Hope" to the bitter end.

IIRC, there was surprisingly little confusion about the switch. 11 Alive set up a telephone hotline to answer viewers' questions, but only about 600-700 people called, which seems like a surprisingly small number for a market the size of Atlanta. And I think it went off more smoothly than the CBS/Fox switch of 1994, seeing as how CBS went down to the wire getting WGCL to take the affiliation.
 
Hey bpatrick do you have any TV listings from local TV guides from either Atlanta, Knoxville-Chattanooga or South Georgia the mid 1980s (1984-1988)? If so just let me know and I'd love to see some posted!

WRIP was out if the Atlanta TV Guide by late in 1980. They were back in by the fall of 1982 as the station began getting better programming.
 
Back then some (if not all) syndicated shows were bicycled, which meant not every market got the same show.
