I see KYW was pre-empting 3 hours of NBC daytime programs at 10:00am, Noon, and 3:00pm. I had always read they pre-empted a lot of NBC programming which was why NBC wanted an O&O in the market.

On WPVI, there was no Benson at 11:00am, Family Feud, Edge of Night, or Nightline during this period. They wouldn't become an ABC O&O until 1986.
 
This was the final episode of Tattletales (12 Noon, ch. 2). Body Language would replace it Monday.

4:30 I Love Lucy

The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Bob Newhart Show were being burned off in overnight slots.

And, at 4:30 AM, it was Here’s Lucy. I Love Lucy was on channel 5, as noted.

52 WNJT NJTV/PBS Trenton
6:30 Dark Shadows
7:00 News

These two were flip-flopped on NJN’s two Northern station. WNJM in Montclair and WNJB in New Brunswick ran NewJersey Nightly News at 6:30 and Dark Shadows at 7:00

And it was New Jersey Network. NJTV, a separate entity, didn’t exist until 2011.
 
I checked the Reading paper and nothing was listed at 6pm on WPIX. Maybe the station was airing two episodes of "Little House on the Prairie" comprised in a 90-minute format.
