Monday Sep 12, 1966 was the more or less beginning of the fall premieres,

KTVK 3 aired ABC shows in pattern, for the most part via 16mm film prints for prime
Sun-Fri, but on Sat carried the network feed. Berle was on tape so it was a one hour
tape delay on Fri, IIRC Stage 67 (Wed) was also taped off the network. Here and there
during the week, an ABC show would pop up on tape delay instead of film, but on no set
schedule--maybe the film print didn't arrive or was damaged, and KTVK had no choice
but to record.

Why would "I Dream Of Jeannie" air on a week's delay? Couldn't
Channel 12 have carried it that same night at 7 (MT)? BTW, the
last broadcast of "The John Forsythe Show" was August 29, 1966,
two weeks before these schedules. Do you know what NBC aired
on Sept. 5?

Also, do you know what time Channel 3 aired "ABC Scope"? I know
that not one affiliate in the top 50 markets (and that includes WABC)
carried it in pattern at 10:30 (ET) on Saturday nights. (Interestingly,
at the time I was living in the Greenville/New Bern/Washington, NC,
market and our ABC affiliate, WNBE (now WCTI)/12, did carry it in
pattern.)

For whatever reason, they couldn't turn 90 min. of prime around in an hour. That's interesting
that the Forsythe LTC was two weeks prior--meaning KTAR-TV 12 may have run it on 16mm film
and was only able to get said print for a 14 DB. The TV page for the following Monday did have
Jeannie/season 2 premiering at 7:00 (7 DB). I did not look backwards to Sep 5.

Channel 12 should have done channel 10's "Lost In Space flip" from Wednesdays, and run Miller
live at 6:30, delay Monkees/Jeannie to 7-8, Run For at 8 live, and Road delayed to 9-10. That
could be done with three tape machines.

Also, do you know what time Channel 3 aired "ABC Scope"? I know that not one affiliate in the
top 50 markets (and that includes WABC) carried it in pattern at 10:30 (ET) on Saturday nights.

Did not see it listed on Saturday night (KTVK 3 ran a movie at 8:30).
