Phoenix & Las Vegas TV listings
from the Arizona Republic

**Please don't ask why on earth would a PHOENIX paper carry listings for local Las Vegas TV. I have not a clue !!!

Educated guess... the Republic is distributed statewide (no decent local paper in Kingman) & Vegas stations are on translators in the northwestern part of the state.

Sunday Milwaukee Journal used to carry listings for the entire state of Wisconsin. (also Duluth and Rockford) I guess many of the upstate papers didn't publish a Sunday edition..

 

[Braves2005]

Wonder why KTVK and KSHO didn't carry Judd For The Defense at 9:00 PM electing to air reruns of The Monroes and Burke's Law instead?

Dr. Alex Stone aka Clinton Judd was on Fridays at 10/9.

I'm wondering if ABC just gave back the entire 10/9 hour on Thursdays
after Good Company was canceled in December 1967. 10:30/9:30 was
already local. Any ideas, bpatrick or others?

mleach: were the Tucson listings also in this edition? (The "Repugnant's"
bulldog edition did have Tucson through much of the '60s, adding Vegas
later on, likely for the reasons w9wi gave.) The ABC and CBS listings in
Tucson would have been similar, if not identical at least for network, to
their "big brother" PHX stations, however the NBC affil may have varied
at least in prime time, and I'm not sure about Carson.

You beat me to it !! ;D

Actually the Arizona Republic DID have listings in this edition for Tuscon and Yuma as well as as Indianapolis (..ok I am kidding about that one )

I will be posting those listings by Monday for ya.

One thing I did noticed about the Phoenix stations...KTVK-KPHO-KOOL-KTAR must had spent a TON of money in newspaper ads back in the day as all of them gave very detailed information other than some of their movies as to what is on their schedules...even right down to the description of the network shows ( Example: 2/29/68 Dragnet was about a man trying to kill himself in a hotel while Friday & Gannon were trying to hunt him down. ) For the most part other similar listings would had just said "Dragnet 68" and leave it at that.

ABC daytime (New York feed) cleared "live" which was probably typical
of most if not all MT markets then.

As for prime time however, this leads me to believe KTVK was still airing
16mm film prints; I don't think they had enough tape machines to do an
in pattern one-hour delay until a bit later on. The Channing special, as
well as Bishop (nightly) would have been a one-hour tape delay.

"K-O-O-L T-V channel 10 Phoenix, on tape" ;D

Second feed of the Captain, then CBS daytime all live. Rather odd
to see syndication of a VTR show back then (Password at 11 AM
during the dead half-hour).

The 6 PM news would be with Bill Close. Nuff said.

Bad prime scheduling for the Mountain Time Zone in the days before a
station had enough tape machines to effectively delay in pattern.
(Think NBC, Wednesday 7:30-9 ET, throughout most of the 1960s.)
Of course the nets could have cared less about the Mountain zone.
IIRC, the 6:30 western was on 16mm film more often than not, while
the 8 PM CBS movie was on a one-hour delay (as opposed to during
most of the 65-66 season when it was on a one-week delay).

That would be KTAR-TV Mesa, although they didn't want you to know it.

Hey, where's the first half-hour of the second hour of Today (6 AM)?
7-8 was the network refeed of the first hour (think Central Time Zone
back then). NBC daytime mostly live, except for delaying LMAD from
11:30 AM to 2:30 PM. 5-6:30 was today's typical news "sandwich" with
H-B at 5:30 surrounded by local.

Any old PHX 12ers who can dissect prime--at least Boone and Ironside?
I'd guess "Lt. Mason" was same-night on tape, but not sure if ol' Dan'l was
on tape or film, one-hour or one-week delay. Boone could easily have been
flipped to 9:00--it was a frontier adventure more than a "kiddie" show.

With three tape machines, Carson could easily have been delayed an hour.

Match Game (2:30 PT) was not aired by the KORKsters.

With H-B at 5:30, either Burbank's first left coast feed was 5:30 PT
(not just 6, 6:30 and 7) even back then, or else during the closed
circuit time Burbank passed the NYC feed through at 3:30 and/or 4
for stations to record if they wanted to air it before 6.

Now this was one wacko TV station! ABC daytime was the east coast feed
all aired live three hours earlier (except Donna, delayed from 7:30 to 1:30).

Prime time/late-night was the CT/MT window instead of ET/PT, but it was
not in any semblance of "pattern."

How did AT&T get the ABC feed to KSHO or did they not have one--did the
Telco line come in from Phoenix, instead of El Lay? Did Prospect pass NYC
through, perhaps on a microwave link? Or was there a microwave feed from
KTVK Phoenix? Remember, Vegas was an hour earlier than Phoenix so KSHO
had to delay prime time in some manner, or were they also into running 16mm
film prints as KTVK did?

Closed circuit for Michael Hagerty: I believe you were at ch. 13 (by then KTNV)
in the early 1980s. Do you know of any of the 1960s history of KSHO in regard
to the ABC network setup and why they didn't use the left coast feed?

I was there from 9/84 to 3/86. The only remnants of the past when I was there was the locals joking...well, actually, telling the truth...about how the local "Celebrity Bowling" show was the only thing anyone watched on 13 in the 60s.

I came in under Ed Quinn (recently retired as head of McGraw-Hill television), who was then young, agressive and totally looking forward. Looks like there wasn't anything to be nostalgic about, anyway.

[/quote]

Yes they did...the 3 affiliates had their own ads on the same page as the Rep's TV listings, which were quite brief (non-descriptive)in the 60s-early 70s.
As did KPAZ, which was at this time a Spanish station featuring Mexican bullfights (their logo at that time was El Toro! )...ch 21 pre-Trinity would go on and off the air frequently

ABC did give back the entire 10/9 hour on Thursdays after "Good Company"
was canceled. I remember WLOS carrying "The Avengers," which it delayed
from Wednesday 7:30 in favor of a movie, when I moved to Greenville, SC
in 1968.
