What was going on in Spokane that night? Every network affiliate pre-empted or delayed programs. I doubt they were all reruns, since 'Dallas; was just winding down its season, leading to the 'Who Shot J.R.?' cliffhanger.
 
From the very start of the listings post:

Spokane channels listed MT

That answers your question. A dead giveaway is the late news airing at midnight.
 
By the way... I believe NBC was airing "The Towering Inferno" on this night... ::)
