Their schedule is worse than WAIM's -- practically only on the air for CBS prime-time. Anyone know why it was so?

I think Wikipedia can fix you up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WPCW. That channel is now WPCW, the Pittsburgh CW affil.

I think that WJNL was staggering into bankruptcy at that point. They were gone within a couple of years and then resurfaced as an independent, WFAT, in the mid-80's. Still later they became a WB then CW affiliate and moved to Pittsburgh.

The late movies on WIIC were, of course, the legendary Chiller Theater starring Chilly Billy Cardille (still active locally in radio). One of the milestones of growing up in Pittsburgh was the day that you finally convinced your parents to let you stay up late enough to watch Chiller Theater.

I also remember gymnastics with the rabbit ears in order to pick-up Saturday afternoon college basketball games on WTRF out of Wheeling, which weren't available locally.
