I was wondering what happened to the prime time programming at KTSF-26-San Francisco and KSTS-48-San Jose? From the look at the listings, Both stations must have signed off at 7M? Either that or a typo error?

Both were subscription television after 7:00pm. In fact, KSTS' call letters stood for "Subscription Television Service".<P ID="signature">______________

And apparently, even after becoming a Spanish station, they used those calls until a week ago, when my Comcast channel guide suddenly called it KMUV.

Anybody know when KSTS first signed on? I seem to remember it first being listed in TV GUIDE in the summer of '81. The only reason I tuned in was the 'Batman' reruns(they also showed old Britcoms, 'Make Room for Daddy' and Jackie Gleason, but I was too young to care about old comedies then.)

I think the Subscription TV service ('SuperVision', and later 'Star TV') also carried a few college basketball games, as well, with 8 ET/5 PT starts. When KSTS aired 'Batman' at 5 later in '81, the games pre-empted it.

I have never heard of Supervision or Star TV. Were they a local Subscription TV service or national? I have heard of ON-TV and SelecTV. Also I wonder why they didn't have the listings in the TV Guide for Supervision/Star TV when they listed HBO?

TV Guide did not, as a rule, list the subscription television services. The only exceptions I am aware of were in L.A. and NYC. (Perhaps Chicago?)

HBO, being a national service, always appeared in TV Guide, regardless of market size, once TV Guide started adding cable listings.

Most markets had their own subscription services, with differing names. For example, in New York it was called Wometco Home Theatre.<P ID="signature">______________

Yes after 7 p.m. weekdays and earlier weekends both 48 KSTS and 26 KTSF had Subscription TV. KSTS had Star TV and KTSF had ONTV. Yes, when Channel 48 first went on in 1981 they had Adam West's Batman, Danny Thomas, Ozzie & Harriett, British sitcoms, and other old shows from the hours of 3 and 7 PM weekdays and a couple hours Saturday mornings. They had some ethnic brokered stuff weekends as well. By 1983, the entertainment shows disapppeared from 48 KSTS and FNN which aired weekdays 6 AM to 3 PM was now running till 6. When STV was dropped in 1984, KSTS began I guess to add Spanish syndicated non SIN/Univision stuff in its place and eventually began combining forces with three other Spanish independents to form Net Span which morphed to Telemundo.

KTSF 26 began in 1976 with older sitcoms and westerns from the 50's and early 60's as well as Japanese Animated shows duirng the day and ethnic shows nights and weekend afternoons and nights. Eventually they added ONTV in 1979 and began moving more ethnic shows to daytime on weekends at first. Then in 1985 when ONTV ended, Channel 26 replaced it with ethnic shows, some which 48 dropped and they became an Asian station full-time.

About Subscription TV programming - TV Guide NEVER included this programming as listings for the stations running it. From about 1978 to sometime in 1982, most TV Guide editions did not include listings from Subscription TV services at all. But in 1982 when TV Guide expanded Cable TV listings they added Subscription TV services as well. New York Metro included WHT as its own service seperate from Channel 68. LA included Selec TV seperate from Channel 22 and ONTV seperate from Channel 52 (which by 1983 was ONTV 24/7), Chicago included ON TV and Super TV seperate from Channels 44 and 66 (44 had ONTV 24/7 while 66 had Super TV 20 hours a day which is full time), Philadelphia had Prism seperate from Channel 57 (which was also Prism 24/7) and Slec TV seperate from Channel 65.
So it was 1982 when TV Guide began including Cable TV listings as a huge part of what was covered.

So it was 1982 when TV Guide began including Cable TV listings as a huge part of what was covered.

I suppose different editions expanded their listings at different times, but as far as the San Francisco Metro edition was concerned, it started carrying cable listings in June 1981..one week after the magazine got rid of staples(which I assume was the same for all editions).
