Ch. 13 in Oklahoma City is KETA. KWET is Ch. 12 in Cheyenne, OK, also run by OETA.
 
Right. I shouldn't have goofed like that, considering
that KETA and Dallas's KERA not only have similar calls,
they are both PBS affiliates on analog 13, and I was
living in Dallas at the time. I think I was looking at KWTV
and KETA where the channels were listed. Channel 12 in
Cheyenne, OK, was added later; I'll try to put up some schedules
from the early '80s ASAP, which include KWET.

OETA is probably best-known today as the distributor of "The
Lawrence Welk Show" to PBS stations.
 
KTVY (KFOR) Ch. 4 Oklahoma City (NBC)
6:30 Barry Switzer: OU Football

KTUL Ch. 8 Tulsa (ABC)
10:30 Barry Switzer


Assuming the future gun-toting Cowboys coach didn't do a daily show, what programs did 4/8 regular air in their respective time slots?
 
I should add that KTUL simply aired "Star Trek" at 11 PM
instead of its normal 10:30; KFOR, like most stations at
the time, did not "strip" 6:30 (carry the same show five
nights a week), as that was a practice that did not become
the rule rather than the exception until around 1980. So
Barry Switzer wasn't on every day; I wonder if even the most
rabid OU fan could have handled that.
 
On KTVT - What was Slam Bang Theatre? Comedy Capers? MY GUESS - Both shows featured Bugs Bunny, Popeye, and other pre 48 Warner Brothers Cartoons along with Three Stooges shorts maybe on Comedy Capers or Slam Bang Theatre. Anyone from down there that could enlighten us on what vthe difference between these twp shows were.

Did KWTV preempt TPIR at 9:30 during the fall or was this a carryover from summer?

Slam Bang Theatre was an institution in Dallas-Ft. Worth. It was Three Stooges shorts interspersed with comedy skits.

What then was Comedy Capers? About Little Rascals - I do not believe KTVT had Little Rascals - at least not after 1972. CBN's 39 KXTX had Little Rascals in the 70's and into the 80's. But what were Comedy Capers? My guess another cartoon show of some sort with a mix of cartoons
