Thanks for posting this, as well as the similar posts from 1986 and 1987. Any listings for the other major indie (WGBS Channel 57) or the two minors (WTGI Channel 61 and WSJT Channel 65)?

As I recall, WGBS was the flagship station of GBS (Galaxy Broadcasting System), headed by Morgan Edge. It acquired The Daily Planet and made Clark Kent their local news anchor for a time, over the strong objections of Planet editor Perry White. At one point, Kent co-anchored with Lana Lang and retired football player Steve Lombard.

Thanks, Anabate! Anyone know what "Mystery Theatre" is?

 

[Ultimajock]

Anyone know what "Mystery Theatre" is?

...perhaps a syndicated package of reruns of short-lived cop shows from the 1970s and 1980s like David Cassidy - Man Undercover, Paris, Mrs. Columbo/Kate Loves a Mystery, etcetera?...
