On a side note, Riverside County would get its own TV stations (specifically in Palm Springs) a little more than a year later, when KESQ (then KPLM) and KMIR both signed-on in October 1968, as ABC and NBC respectively. They would have to wait 34 more years to get its own CBS affiliate, as KPSP, a former home shopping channel and PaxTV affiliate, took on the Eye affiliation for the Coachella Valley.

 

[bpatrick]

What time did Channel 7 carry Peter Jennings?

Re KMIR: IIRC, Don Wilson, Jack Benny's longtime announcer,
either owned or co-owned that station and was fairly visible
especially in the station's early days.

Was CBS News from 8-9 (with a couple of local holes) the same thing as was fed
from 7-8 ET, or perhaps a left coast update? I'm wondering why this show and the
Captain were flipped--was it like this on the CBS Pacific net or just on KNXT?

Good question...the paper didn't really indicate ABC's newscast, but listed CBS as "Walter Cronkite" and NBC as "Huntley-Brinkley".

...I don't think Wilson actually co-owned KMIR, but he was convinced by management to come out of retirement to host a late afternoon chat show, "Town Talk," during his last years. I believe KMIR was also where Alex Dreier went when he left KTTV and started doing acting jobs in movies and TV...

At this point in KNBC's history, their afternoon movie show had already adopted the Movie 4 title (as in use in that time slot since fall 1966) that had already been in use at sister stations WNBC-TV New York and WRC-TV Washington, DC since the late 1950's. Its former host, Tom Frandsen (under whom the program had been Frandsen's Feature) had gone on to his own stand-alone program at this point, Tom Frandsen / F.Y.I. Meanwhile, I.I.N.M., KABC's late afternoon/early evening movie show was already called The 6 O'Clock Movie (as it would be through September 1971).

And it seems that the Los Angeles market was the only case of Mike Douglas airing on all three network O&O's at one time or another (KABC at the time of this listing, then KNBC and finally KNXT). Not even Chicago or New York could claim that.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe at one point (looking back at some of the old listings here), KTLA even carried the Douglas show. It's kinda likened to the original People's Court, where every VHF station in town (except KNBC) carried Judge Wapner and friends.

What time did Channel 7 carry Peter Jennings?

KABC was in 3rd place for news, so they counter-programmed 2 and 4, which competed with each other. So the local "Channel 7 News Hour" ran from 4:30 to 5:30 - with the ABC network news from 5:30 - 6:00. I don't believe Jennings was the anchor yet - it was probably Howard K. Smith in those days, but I can't recall for sure...my parents were Cronkite viewers.

BTW - I believe KABC's local anchor at this time was still Baxter Ward, who quit a few years later for a career in politics. He was an LA County Supervisor.

 

[LKellerIII]

According to Wikipedia, Jennings anchored in 65-66 (I did not know that), then was replaced in 67 by Bob Young ( ???) who I do not remember at all.

...part of one of Bob Young's bulletins about the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. can be seen at http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=1804170 -- interesting that the title that ABC News uses for the web series this video is a part of is Time Tunnel, as the Irwin Allen science fiction series of that same title on ABC in 1966-67 was itself set in 1968...

Looks as if Password started syndicated repeats only three days after being canceled by CBS.

I thought I once read that before ABC (finally) expanded their evening newscast to an hour that around 1966, KABC-7 broadcast a half-four newscast from 5 to 5:30 P.M. PT, ran the network news at 5:30, and another fifteen minutes of local news at 5:45.

And then ran what by then was The 6 O'Clock Movie up to the start of the network prime-time schedule at 7:30.
