This post looks at the week of October 15-21, 1989, the week in which I was born (my birthdate was Friday, the 20th). This week saw two major events cross paths: the first was the 1989 World Series – which began on Saturday, October 14 – which saw a crosstown matchup between the San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics, and was known as either the "Bay Bridge Series," the "BART Series" or the "Battle of the Bay" (it was the first World Series involving crosstown teams to have occurred since 1956). The second was the Loma Prieta earthquake, the 6.9-magnitude temblor which struck at 5:04 p.m. (Pacific Time) on October 17 (35 minutes prior to the start of Game 3 of the series, which was televised nationally by ABC). The quake – which turned out to be the first major earthquake that struck within the U.S. ever to have been broadcast on live television – caused severe damage throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and affected the game's Candlestick Park venue, knocking out power to the stadium and damaging its upper deck. As such, for the safety of spectators, Game 3 was postponed until October 27 and the deciding Game 4 (which was originally scheduled to be played on October 18) was delayed accordingly until October 28. (The As would rout the Giants to win the championship, four games to zero.)
DISCLAIMER: Because of the distruptions to the World Series schedule caused by the Loma Prieta earthquake, prime time programming changes made by ABC due to the postponement of Games 3 and 4 will be noted in the October 17 and 18 schedules for KOCO-TV within this thread. Also, from this post onward, program schedules for the major national and regional superstations available in the Oklahoma City market at the time of the individual schedule periods will be listed separately from those for the local broadcast stations.
