2 KDKA TV - Seemed to not really preempt any Sunday programming - In fact the fact they ran half the Sunday Morning cartoon reruns was quite unusual for an affiliate.
4 WTAE TV - Preempted Kids Are People Too, ABC was trying to get all affiliates to run this. Also Johnstown had no local ABC affiliate - Altoona did but the did not reach Johnstown. So there was no way to see ABC shows in Pittsburgh or Wheeling or Johnstown without WTAE.If WTAE did not run an ABC show you were out of luck. Also what was that NFL game on ABC SUnday for? That sounds unusual.
11 WIIC - Ran typical NBC stuff with no noticable preemptions. Still was running cartoons Sunday mornings.
22 WPTT - Newly signed on a month and a half ago. Typical Sunday lineup for an independent.
53 WPGH - Newly acquired by Meredith which owned a few CBS and NBC affiliates around the country. They owned back then KPHO Pheonix which was a very strong independent and would eventually buy 35 WOFL Orlando. Was beginning to upgrade the station. WPGH was still running network rejects.
