7 minutes of sports? Why not 5, or 10? Certainly makes for odd start times for the last two programs. And what was "Errol Flynn," anyway? With a half-hour slot, it certainly isn't one of his movies, and I don't recall any anthology series that bore his name. (Or was there?)

It was a half-hour syndicated anthology series, The Errol Flynn Theatre, which was produced in 1957 and lasted 26 episodes; it was filmed in England. Mr. Flynn was host, and acted in five of the episodes.

Looking at these and the other listings from years past that featured Burlington, Vermont's WCAX-TV channel 3, for a small market station they sure offered quite a bit of local news. In the 70's WCAX did a full HOUR of news during the week from 6 to 7pm. Considering back then ( 1970's ) that many much much larger markets actually offered less. 30 minutes of local news in the evening..and that was it..period !!!!!! And here is WCAX doing a full hour.

In this case even on a weekend night way back in 1960, WCAX offered a full half hour of news. Of course the big stations in cities like New York, Los Angeles and others did the same but even in some cities like Baltimore, Denver, Phoenix, even San Diego, most if not all of their local stations back then from looking at their listings over the years from around this time frame ( 1960 ) still offered just 15 minutes of local news during the weekends.

And here is WCAX in 1960 in little Burlington, Vermont...they offered a full half hour. Talk about bragging rights..at least back then anyway.

Don't forget that for many, many years, WCAX was the only home-grown commercial station in Vermont, and its signal covered most of the state. (Yeah, there was also WPTZ, but they were across the lake in that big ol' state to the east, and had divided loyalties -- I don't recall from summers in VT back in the 60's that they covered Vermont news anywhere near as comprehensively as WCAX.) I think they felt a lot of both pride and responsibility in that role, so it doesn't surprise me that they were doing a lot of local/state news early on. I also remember WCAX as being much more smoothly run than WPTZ -- the latter had a lot of technical glitches, and their locally originated stuff was far less polished.

Was the game blacked out in Ottawa? Kind of funny that CBOFT would leave the game early for Disney.

Not sure what the story was on that...CBOFT has kind of always marched to a different drummer over the years

CFPL in London had a full hour of news/information as early as 1962, with Panorama at 6:00 and Informacast at 6:30. It was one of the only Canadian stations to even have local news at 6. By 1964 or 1965 they had a half hour newscast at 6:30 called FYI, and that show expanded to a full hour in 1973 from 6-7 PM. Some CBC O&O stations in larger markets had full-hour newscasts by 1971. When CBRT in Calgary first signed on in 1975, they had that market's first hour-long newscast, and it was the early 80s before CFCN expanded to an hour.

Elsewhere, some markets did not even have local news at 6 for a very long time. CKVR in Barrie was limited to a half-hour newscast at 5:30 PM and another following The National well into the late 1980s. And yet, tiny CKNX in Wingham had hour-long news by the late 1970s.
