Retro: San Francisco Metropolitan--Thurs, Sept 26, 1974

NOTE: As I continue to re-post select schedules that I have posted on other sites, please bear with the fact that a large number of the TV Guides in my collection are from the early 1970s, a period which holds the greatest interest for me in terms of programs AND scheduling. If any of you would prefer fewer from this era, let me know and I will see if I have others.

I see that at this point KGO's afternoon movies were already settled at 3:30. At what point did KGO move their movie show there from its previous 6:30 time slot?
 
This is only a single issue I have, not part of a series of weeks or months of them, so I cannot tell you. Perhaps Bay Area-viewers watching during that time frame can speak up for that. Sorry for the lack of info on that.

I'd lived in the Bay Area for only a year in September 74, and I'm seeing a lot of things I'd forgotten in this schedule.

I moved north from LA in 73 with only a 12 inch black and white portable TV...and I was a busy guy, so I wasn't watching a lot of TV my first year here. But I can tell you that KGO-TV's Channel 7NewsScene with Van Amburg was the undisputed leader in local news, and dominated the ratings in every time slot, including the 6:00 hour. So I've got to think that the movie had been moved to 3:30 at least a couple of years before that.

I have a San Francisco Metro TV Guide from January 1973, and the daily movie was at 6:30 P.M. then.
