STILL airs on that same station in that same timeslot. (Unless KPTV finally ended the tradition and I was not aware.)

So, PDX was treated to two "Perfect Strangers" reruns every day? Oy vey...
 
According to locate tv KPTV still airs Perry Mason at noon. My 2 CBS stations WFMY and WDBJ still air Andy Griffith at 5:30pm it has been this way for at least 26 years.

Ironically, a year later, a group headed by the producer responsible for Hunter (the late Stephen J. Cannell) would buy KPDX.

This sounds like a B-movie selection from the syndicated "Movie Greats Network."

How many stations did Cannell own? Besides KPDX, Cannell also owned WUAB in Cleveland.

Corrected that for you -- many of the films on the Movie Greats Network were far from "great".

Cannell owned three stations at its peak - KPDX, WUAB, and WHNS in Greenville, SC. KPDX and WHNS were sold to the Marriott family's First Media group and then to Meredith. Cannell held on to WUAB and entered into a management agreement with WOIO, and that station was eventually sold to Raycom when duopoly rules were laxed. Cannell's ties to the State of Oregon were close, as he went to the University of Oregon.

Thanks for the correction. The Movie Greats Network (and its replacement, the "Best Picture Show") aired many low-budget foreign films and B-movies. They were sold mainly to independent stations as overnight filler. The umbrella names for these packages were to make them more sellable to stations.
 
Any film that casts a character named "Trash"... that alone just screams "movie greatness". ::)
