WSM (WSMV) Ch. 4 Nashville (NBC)

6:30 Price Is Right (listed as The New
Price Is Right)

Might've still been "The New Price Is Right" -- owing to the technicalities of syndication at the time ("bicycling"), plus repeats of earlier episodes, the nighttime TPIR (hosted by Dennis James) very likely remained "New", after the daytime version dropped the "New".

WOWL (not sure of the present call letters)
Ch. 15 Florence, AL (NBC)

WOWL is now WHDF (standing for Huntsville/Decatur/Florence). It took those calls in 1998 when it became the UPN affiliate for Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley.
 
A few comments from someone who was watching these stations at the time...

WLAC (WTVF) Ch. 5 Nashville (CBS)
7 AM Mornings With Siegel (Stanley Siegel,
who didn't make much of an impression
in Music City and went on to WCBS)
As I remember, Siegel made quite an impact ... maybe not a positive one in the minds of many Nashvillians at the time, who thought he was a brash Yankee, but an impression nevetheless.

4 PM Movie: "Mars Needs Women"
Their afternoon movie was still called "The Big Show" at the time.

WMSL (WAFF) Ch. 48 Huntsville (ABC)
5 PM News
10 PM News
Their "news department" at the time consisted of one man, Newman Milwee, who did news, weather and sports. Any out-of-studio coverage consisted only of black and white still photos.

As I remember, Siegel made quite an impact ... maybe not a positive one in the minds of many Nashvillians at the time, who thought he was a brash Yankee, but an impression nevetheless.

...and I thought Siegel went to WABC-TV, not WCBS-TV. I know he got the WABC gig in part because the general manager Siegel worked for at WLUK/11 Green Bay, Bill Fyffe, had been brought in to WABC by the corporate brass after turning the lowly Green Bay affiliate around in the news department. Dunno if Fyffe called Siegel or Siegel called Fyffe, however...
 
I thought that at one time Stanley Siegel
had a show on WCBS at 9 AM, although he
may have been at WABC first. I do know
that Nashville viewers didn't particularly
take to him; as someone else said (in
effect), he may have been a little too
"Yankee" for their tastes.
