KPIX didn't carry "The Price Is Right?" Wasn't during this week (Memorial Day Week) that the network broadcast the first hour-long episodes of the show?
 
TPIR

> KPIX didn't carry "The Price Is Right?"

They were rather famous for not carrying it. When Jim Gabbert owned Channel 20, they carried TPIR, which was probably the first time the CBS daytime version had been seen in the SF market.

It hasn't been on the air continuously since 1976; it was out of production for about 20 years until WGBH started producing a new version a few years ago.<P ID="signature">______________

I remember 20 airing The Price Is Right along with other shows that KPIX and KRON, when Channel 4 had NBC shows did not want to carry. In the 80's 20 had The Price Is Right, The $25,000 Pyramid, Tattletales (the 1982-84 version, not the one that followed Match Game in the 1970's on CBS), Body Language, and Card Sharks all from CBS, plus Fantasy, Another World and Classic Concentration from NBC.

I guess CBS and NBC chewed out the SF stations for not airing the network daytime shows, and today KPIX has TPIR.

BTW, did KPIX carry the CBS version of The Joker's Wild?

Sounds like some other nearby station I know ... 13 KOVR...except its Guiding Light and not Price Is Right that is still being preempted.

Actually in 1990 or 1991 10 KXTV (back when they were still a CBS affiliate)dropped Price Is Right but reinstated it sometime in 1992 but then dropped Guiding Light. When KXTV 10 evicted CBS for ABC, CBS moved to 13 KOVR without Guiding Light.

Here is where I am dumbfounded. Westinghouse prior to merging with CBS was NOTORIOUS for preempting programming. WBZ TV 4 Boston as an NBC affiliate did not run Another World from the mid 80's up until the end when they became a CBS O & O. They also preempted other NBC daytime game shows and reruns as well as much of NBC's Saturday morning lineup. They had 4 hours of news on Saturday Mornings. But the moment they switched to CBS they carried ALL OF THEIR SCHEDULE.

KYW TV 3 Philadelphia also preempted plenty of NBC's daytime schedule (but ran all the soaps)but once they switched to CBS they ran all the CBS shows.

In Pittsburgh 2 KDKA TV preempted from September 1992 to January 1995 CBS News Thios Morning for Disney cartoons *which is wierd for a Network affiliate to do). But as soon as the deal with Westinghouse & CBS to affiliate (a year before the official merger)took effect Disney had moved to 22 WPTT and KDKA then ran the entire CBS lineup.

Channel 5 KPIX seemed to be cutting back on preemptions by 1994 but prior to the merger they also ran the whole CBS schedule.

I am surpirsed 13 KOVR is not in any rush to run the whole CBS schedule. They say eventually they will but the question is when. And they have NO answers still. Its been a couple months thus far.

On the other hand NO PROGRAMMING CHANGES WHATSOEVER HAVE BEEN MADE AT KOVR...NONE. So all guesses to what happens this fall. My though is some changes will be made but will this mean clearing the entire CBS schedule? I originally thought yes but now I am not so sure. I always thought with the exception of Fox Kids in the late 90's and For Kids TV on a few Fox O & O stations and the exce4ption of a few Cap Cities ABC O & O's from 1986-93..that O & O EQUALS 100 % CLEARENCE FROM NETWORK....But I guess I am wrong.

KDKA/2 Pittsburgh was notorious for not carrying
As The World Turns. For years they had their own
local talk show, Pittsburgh 2Day, at 1:30 and--later--
2 PM when that was ATWT's time slot the first time
(1980-81). But KDKA is a CBS o&o and ATWT is there
now.

Interestingly enough, WPTT-22(Now WCWB) did air "As The World Turns" in the '80s.

But KDKA wasn't the only one in the Steel City that wasn't clearing network fare: WTAE-4 also had a habit of passing on parts of ABC's lineup(Mostly daytime or late night) for local or syndicated fare. Likewise with WIIC-11(Now WPXI) when it came to NBC shows(Especially in the delaying department).

CBS and NBC preemptions were not that big of a deal in Pittsburgh for one big reason. In the Pittsburgh market over the air and on Cable you could get NBC and CBS shows on Channels 7 and 9 out of Wheeling/Stubenville or in other parts of the market you could pick up CBS and NBC affiliates channels 6 & 10 out of Johnstown/Altoona. To the north you wre out of luck for some distance until you approach I 80 which by then you pick up Erie stations. But Cable systems all carried duplicate network affiliate stations back then.

Some ABC programming could be tough to have without cable. Johnston/Altoona had a UHF ABC stations that did not reach Pittsburgh. Wheeling also had no ABC station so WTAE was the ABC affiliate for that entire area.

When did KCSM switch to channel 60? And was KDTV on the air yet?

(For those outside the market, KCSM, broadcasting from the local community College of San Mateo, now no longer an analog station, broadcatsing only in digital as channel "4.3"...which is printed as "43" in Bay Area TV listings.)
 
Re: TPIR

Dayton didn't see General Hospital for years..apparently, even during the Luke and Laura years, the ratings didn't hold up locally even when they were great nationwide so WKEF, when they were ABC the first time, pre-empted it for its cartoon block, and WDTN, when it picked up ABC also didn't carry it. It's only been reinstated within the past couple of years. <P ID="signature">______________

KDTV went on the air on channel 60 in the late 1960s/early 1970s, IIRC. They swapped channels with KCSM on channel 14 in 1979 (again, IIRC).

Not quite correct, Stu.

KCSM-DT broadcasts on channel 43, and is called "43.1" on a HDTV tuner. Their analog license still exists on channel 60, but they went dark because they lost their tower lease for it.<P ID="signature">______________

WDTN Dayton did not carry One Life To Live or General Hospital for years. One reason was most people in Dayton could get ABC shows from either 12 WKRC Cincinnati (after 1997 9 WCPO) or 6 out of Columbus Ohio. The Cable systems carried two ABC affiliates until the end of 1999. Then the cable systems Dayton and north dropped the Cincinnati ABC station 9 WCPO. As a result cable subscribers no longer had One Life or General Hospital. In the Fall of 2000 WDTN reinstated General Hospital and in 2001 they put One Life To Live back on.

Still after all this hassel to get WDTN to carry the Soaps they switch to NBC in the Fall of 2003 (or was it 2004?). ABC then moved to 22 WKEF. At least WKEF runs the entire ABC schedule.
