It could be a safe bet to say that Portland's KOIN-TV channel 6 was the inspiration for the "channel 6" that is featured on The Simpsons.

Recently when FOX had aired the The Simpsons 20th Anniversary, Matt Groening had brought up the Portland influence on the Simpsons such as the characters of the show having the same names as streets in Portland such as Lovejoy, Flanders and Skinner. The idea for Krusty the Clown was based on real life Portland TV clown..Rusty Nails and Springfield Elementary School..looks just like a real life school in Portland.

Unless I had missed something watching that special, I don't think Groening & Company had spilled the beans as to who was the real life Portland inspiration for the character, Springfield TV Newscaster...Kent Brockman.

8:30 Movie "Daffy Duck and Porky Pig Meet the Groovie Goolies"

One of the worst "crossover" bastardizations in animation history -- most Looney Tunes fans I know like to pretend that this TV-movie never happened. I don't know how much money Warner Brothers got for "loaning" Daffy and Porky to Filmation, but it was a mistake at any price. At least they let the great Bugs Bunny keep his integrity and not be a part of this, the absolute nadir for the studio's characters. (Though some might say that low point came years later, with "Space Jam.") :mad:

9:30 Movie "The Haunted Horseman of Hagglethorn Hall"

This is actually a one hour episode of Scooby Doo that ran under the series title "The New Scooby Doo Movies" -- but was listed in TV Guide just as "Movie". Each episode featured some sort of prominent guest star or stars, such as Batman & Robin.

KVIQ 6-NBC/ABC Eugene

KVIQ is in Eureka, not Eugene.

That's correct...that's what I get for typing this before the morning coffee kicks in :D. Also on the Southern Oregon stations, KOBI 5's secondary affiliation was ABC, not NBC-though as you've seen, KOBI and KOTI in K-Falls did share a common sked for most of the day.
