5AM
5 News [7 starts their news at 4:30AM]

I imagine that KIRO was one of the first to begin their morning news at that hour -- these days, morning news at 4:30 has become more the norm in many cities.

10AM
5 Graham Kerr

I heard somewhere that Graham Kerr's 1990-1991 series was taped in Seattle.

11AM
5 Wheel of Fortune [daytime]

It's around this time when Wheel moved back from CBS to its longtime daytime home, NBC, where it remained until it was cancelled a few months later. During its final NBC run, Bob Goen was still host and the show was still taped at Television City.

4:30
2 Sportsweekend
Scheduled: Same-day coverage of men's World Cup downhill skiing at Lake Louise, AB. Scott Oake and Ken Read report.

What was normally on the CBC at 4:30PM and 5PM?

 

[crainbebo]

On CBUT usually, it would be Danger Bay at 4:30 and Video Hits at 5.

-crainbebo

 

[Wright County Guy]

I'm guessing 7 ran Donahue at 9 and the rest of the CBS daytime schedule in sequence.

 

[crainbebo]

Nope. Geraldo aired at 9 on KIRO at this time.

[T-K]

2:30
4 Hardwick and McCormick

Unless this starred the former KVI morning man, it should be Hardcastle and McCormick.

7:30 [at this time, the show here was Crisis in The Gulf, but what about Inside Line? Did that hit the air after the start of the '91-'92 season?]

Inside Line started in June and lasted through May of '92. The following season, KIRO tried a similar show called Seven 30

I heard somewhere that Graham Kerr's 1990-1991 series was taped in Seattle.

Yes, it was taped at KING.

I'm guessing 7 ran Donahue at 9 and the rest of the CBS daytime schedule in sequence.

KIRO passed on Family Feud and KCPQ picked it up.

 

[Wright County Guy]

Did anyone pick up CBS Late Night (under the "Crimetime After Primetime" umbrella, I believe) in Seattle? (Or did it not air due to basketball running til 12 on the East coast?)

 

[crainbebo]

Whoops-it was Hardcastle & McCormick. Thanks!
