Does anybody know what type of program this was?

Thanks for posting, Bluenoser!

PS I remember seeing "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" and "The Birds" many times on WPIX.
 
2-2*-3-8 Movie "Tail Gunner Joe"

One of NBC's "Big Event" movies. Peter Boyle played Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Remember it well.

Great schedule! Thanks for posting!

That was the month the U-S went through this huge cold snap -- the "natural gas shortage" --and our schools got their first-ever February break, because they couldn't heat the buildings. We also watched Roots that month on a "roundie" RCA Victor color set with no vertical hold.

Channel 3:
9:00 3 Our Community
9:30 3 Movie "Charlie Chan at the Olympics" (bw) (the old "Sunday Movietime")
11:00 3 Syracuse Bowls (they used to do this live with a remote unit at local lanes, then in studio B at their own bowling lanes they built for "Bowling for dollars")
noon 3 News & Views: Black Perspective

FOUR hours of local programming -- on a Sunday.

And this:
2-9-12 Installation Ceremony (Francis (Frank) Harrison's installment as RC Bishop of Syracuse)

I wonder how they pulled this off -- getting the signals to Utica and Binghamton. Any old timers around who might know? Or do you think they just pulled it off air?
