"The Love Boat" and the CBS movie "September Gun" would have
aired at 8 PM (EST), as Fort Wayne and South Bend stayed on
standard time from April to October. Daylight saving time would
have ended at 2 AM October 31, at which point "Love Boat" would
have begun airing at 9 PM Saturdays, followed by "Fantasy Island"
at 10; likewise CBS's movies would have aired at 9.
 
Sure is confusing. I still have that TVG from Northern Indiana (Feb 1989) - "Today" is listed on WNDU/WANE at 7AM, while it's on WMAQ at 8AM. Standard time is confusing to see...
