You were probably thinking of today's KYW-TV, which is CBS.
Back then(in 1976), KYW aired the NBC soap "The Doctors" at 2:30 pm.

Back in 1976 WPVI TV did not run the 8 AM hour of Good Morning America. They preempted the 8-9 AM hour until the Fall of 1978. They ran "Captain Noah & His Magical Ark" from 8-9 AM weekdays in 1976. In 1975 they may have even had Captain Noah for 2 hours preempting Good Morning America entirely. Prior to 1975 they ran Captain Noah from 7-9 AM.

Captian Noah wasa locally produced children's program with several cartoons inserted in including the 1961 Popeye Cartoons, the post 1948 Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig cartoons, pre 1940 Porky Pig cartoons, and Gumby. The Bugs Bunny/Porky Pig cartoons would go to Channel 17 in 1978 and then to Channel 48 in 1980 and back to Channel 17 in 1983 then pulled from syndication inb 1990. The TV 1961 Popeye Cartoons went to Channel 29 in 1979 and then to 57 (I think) in 1986.
 
a few corrections WPVI TV 6abc ran Operation Alphabet at 6am after the classic sign on which has been described before on the message boards.

also in 1970 Channel 6 decided to do Cap Noah on a daily basis after getting such monster ratings on Sat mornings for it so it was shown Mon through Friday originally from 7:30-9am the around 1973 it was shortened a few minutes to accomadate a new program called Dialing for Dollars,then around 1975 it was shortened to 8 to 9am then by the fall of 1978 was relegated to weekends only where it lasted till 1995.

Also the good ole Captain showed the syndie Popeye shorts till 1984 then they moved to channel 29 then to 57 by 1985(believe it or not 57/cbs 3 still has those classic 61 cartoons in their library along with I Love Lucy/All In The Family/The Honeymooners/and Andy Griffith along with a few Clint Eastwood movies that launched Philly 57 in 1985).

Also dont forget those sign on prayers(Give Us This Day and Thought for Today)
