Did 41 Paterson and 47 Newark last as Spanish stations, or are they something else today?
Click to expand...

They are still Spanish today. Ch. 41 is owned by Univision(the former SIN) and Ch. 47 is owned by Telemundo(backed by NBC).
 
WFSB sure was in preemption mode. The station was preempting 2 1/2 hours of CBS daytime (including "The Price Is Right" and "The Young and the Restless"), plus the "CBS Late Movie."
 
NYC channels

At this time in history I was living in or around Utica, N. Y. We had a 12 channel cable system. We got the local affiliates and the three indies from N. Y. C. one HBO channel, and CKWS from Kingston, Ont. (plus a black & white camera that scanned weather condition meters.) It cost about $11 a month. I would take that anytime over the 500 channels + that I get now. Much better programming and variety.

I thought so too, Steve. I was also kind of surprised that WCBS didn't clear CBS daytime in pattern.
 
They were running the syndicated 'Match Game', as a replacement for the very-recently departed CBS version(I think it was even the same time slot).

Except for one thing - the syndicated version wouldn't premiere until that September (not counting "Match Game PM", which was already running on WABC). I've seen this listing before and have always wondered what exactly was running in the slot - old MG'79 episodes, or did they happen to be able to get a jump start on the syndicated version?
 
I'm wondering which incarnation of To Tell the Truth was being aired on Channel 11. The 70's version ceased production in '78, and the Robin Ward version debuted in '80.

According to Wikipedia [sic] - "Some markets that added the series after its 1969 release opted to carry the show for another season or two in order to catch up on the episodes that had not aired in their viewing area."

IIRC, the CBS O and O in Los Angeles also ran MG during the summer of 79. There were a few shows that did not run on the network at the end of the network run. Perhaps they cobbled together a rerun package. To the OP: Did TVG give a panel for Match Game?
 
It was interesting to see the listing for Stanley Siegel on channel 2. He originally was on channel 7 in the same time period. I loved his show. He was a great talk show host and then he just disappeared. He should have gone up against Carson. Anybody know what happened to him?
 
WNEW Channel 5 ran a series called Bedtime Stories at 11pm. In TV Guide, it's listed as a comedy. Does anybody know anything about this show? I did a Google search and couldn't find info about. At 11pm it couldn't be a kids show. I'm assuming it was some sort of raunchy syndicated fare, or at least what might've been considered raunchy in the late 70s?
