Bay Hill is Arnie Palmer's tournament, a highlight on the PGA Tour. He was a long time pitchman for Hertz.

I always get a kick out of seeing WVNY's schedule not filled with infomercials, and I miss watching the Habs in English or French now for that matter.
 
It's interesting that back then, "Hockey Night In Canada" had just a single game.

I thought that regular "HNIC" doubleheaders didn't begin until the early 1990's, but didn't "HNIC" do a couple of regular-season doubleheaders in the late 1980's after Wayne Gretzky got traded to Los Angeles whenever Montreal or Toronto played in L.A. on a Saturday night with a 10:30 or 11 P.M. EST start??

Looking at the listings, it appears that Vermont Public Television (WETK-33 Burlington) was in the midst of a pledge drive, given the programs scheduled and the unusual starting times for those programs (I believe VPT was then owned by the University of Vermont; but I think it's now owned by a private-sector nonprofit group).

I believe they are -- according to the FCC, the licensee of VPT's stations is "Vermont ETV, Inc." Vermont ETV was VPT's former name, but its license still has the old name.
