6:30, except for KATU was a dead spot for local news, apparently.
 
15 What is Degrassi Jr. High? [three times now!]

Is that the title of the listing (perhaps a documentary of the show) or an innocent question bridged with the regular title "Degrassi Junior High"? (And if the latter, 15 actually ran the show four times on this day with the 7:30 PM airing.)
 
KCKA aired the "title" of the listing, "What is Degrassi Jr. High?" Probably some type of preview show related to the Degrassi series.
