From TV Guide, South Texas Edition:

KLRN Ch. 9 (PBS)

8:30 In-School program

Considering that most in-school programs were 15 minutes long, better off being plural.

KWEX Ch. 41 (Ind.)
Ch. 41 was then an affiliate of Spanish
International Network.

Actually, the station was an O&O -- and a founding station of SIN, which later became Univision.

 

[Braves2005]

Can you post listings for Saturday, March 26, 1977 and Sunday, March 27, 1977?

Thanks for the San Antonio listing for March 1977 on weekdays. Brings back my childhood watching what was on back when I was a kid here in Texas. I remember watching Bewitched and Emergency One! in the afternoons.

 

[bpatrick]

Can do. Again, listings are from TV Guide,
South Texas Edition.

KENS - Channel 5 (CBS)

Saturday:

1 AM : Nightflight '77 (The Millionaire, Wild Wild West, Movie: "The Farmer's Daughter") ( til 6 AM)

Did they really show reruns of the 50's series "The Millionaire"? I didn't even know that they reran The Millionaire because all of the classic retro listings I have seen don't list it except when it was on CBS daytime.

Sunday:

11 AM: First Baptist Church

Usually aired on KSAT-12, possibly aired on Channel 5 due to Easter Seals Telethon on KSAT.

KENS - Channel 5 (CBS)

Saturday:

1 AM : Nightflight '77 (The Millionaire, Wild Wild West, Movie: "The Farmer's Daughter") ( til 6 AM)

Did they really show reruns of the 50's series "The Millionaire"? I didn't even know that they reran The Millionaire because all of the classic retro listings I have seen don't list it except when it was on CBS daytime.

...I recall WTMJ-TV/4 Milwaukee also rerunning "The Millionaire" as part of their weekend late night package of vintage TV films around the same time ("Topper," "Thriller" and "One Step Beyond" were also elements of WTMJ's package IIRC)...

 

[bpatrick]

KENS really did run "The Millionaire," John Beresford
Tipton, Michael Anthony, and all. "Nightflight '77" was
a five-hour program that also included live entertainment,
originated (IIRC) in Austin, and was hosted by Casey
Martin. It also aired on KPRC/2 Houston, KXAS/5 Dallas/
Ft. Worth, and KTBC/7 Austin.

WBTV/3 Charlotte also ran "The Millionaire" as part of
its "Those Were The Years" series on Friday nights,
but not every week as these Texas stations did.

 

[ShawnHill1]

A little off-topic, but seeing that San Antonio was a three-station English-commercial town (before Channel 35 signed-on in '85), who carried Spurs games on TV in those days?

 

[bpatrick]

I believe Channel 12 did.

 

[Smittian]

Yes, it was Channel 12. I remember going outside and turning our antenna trying to tune in a 1979 Spurs-76ers playoff game at our house some 120 mi S of San Antonio. Our antenna was pointed toward Corpus Christi. Messed up the reception on the local channels, but we were able to pull in KSAT fairly decent (well enough to see the game).

bpatrick, if you could post some of those Corpus listings from those old TV Guides, that would be nice

 

[bullet bob]

I did'nt see any wrestling. Joe Blanchard or Paul Boesch had to have a show airing somewhere. Maybe even Fritz Adkisson "Von Erich".

 

[bhayes1016]

I did'nt see any wrestling. Joe Blanchard or Paul Boesch had to have a show airing somewhere. Maybe even Fritz Adkisson "Von Erich".

It wouldn't have aired on Monday. I think Blanchard was running SA by then.

It wouldn't have aired on Monday. I think Blanchard was running SA by then.

...indeed he was, and he was hooked up with Verne Gagne's AWA and frequently brought in Nick Bockwinkel when he held the AWA belt...

 

[azumanga]

"Nightflight '77" was
a five-hour program that also included live entertainment,
originated (IIRC) in Austin, and was hosted by Casey
Martin.

Was this show, by chance, related to the later, more familiar "Night Flight" that aired on USA? The USA show was also a variety of films, shorts and music.

I figured it was Channel 12...looking at some older NBA media guides I used to have, I know they (along with KABB at some point as well) carried Spurs games into the late 90s. I do know that KENS and KMYS have shared the over-the-air rights for the last decade. The Spurs are still one of those few teams in the NBA where there's more games on over-the-air (10 on KENS, 31 on KMYS--41 total) than on cable (31 on FSN Southwest).

Again, sorry to go off-topic with this.

I've wondered the same thing, but I'll have to leave it to someone else
to answer.

KSAT Ch. 12 (ABC)


9 AM Mike Douglas
10 AM Formby's Antique Furniture
Workshop

Formby's was supposed to be a once-a-month daytime program, I believe. If that is the case, then did Mike Douglas air for 90 minutes or was there another program airing at 10 a.m.?

 

[Austin]

All My Children on delay from noon.

 

[bpatrick]

The "Nightflight '77" program was an all-night thing
(Sunday mornings 1-6 AM) out of Austin, hosted by
Casey Martin. It consisted of "Wild Wild West," "The
Millionaire," a movie, and live entertainment between
segments, and was seen on four stations: KPRC/2
Houston, KENS/5 San Antonio, KXAS/5 Fort Worth-Dallas,
and KTBC/7 Austin. I can't prove it but it may have been
the model for the later "Night Flight."
