KTBC Ch. 7 Austin (CBS)
3:30 Woody And The Rascals

This is Woody Woodpecker and the Little Rascals, I presume? Never seen the Little Rascals intertwined with cartoons during a half-hour.

Also, any idea exactly what "cartoons" KENS and KXAN aired?
 
Why was Waco-Temple considered South Texas? There must have not been a separate Central Texas edition. I can understand why KTVT was included as at the time it was a superstation and available on most cable systems in the state.

This was pre-KLRU when San Antonio and Austin shared KLRN.
 
There was no Central Texas edition; KCEN and KWTX were in the
North Texas edition and apparently on enough cable systems in
the Austin area to get included in South Texas, although the two
stations were later dropped from the South Texas edition.

As for the kids' shows, that is Woody Woodpecker and the Three
Stooges on KTBC. KENS, on its "Captain Gus Show," showed the
Paramount/Famous Studios Popeyes, so I suspect they were at
least part of KENS's morning program of cartoons. Don't know
what cartoons KXAN carried.

"Sesame Street" at 3:30... on KRGV? You're kidding, right?

It was common for commercial stations to carry some PBS shows, mainly "Sesame Street", in markets where there is no local PBS station. Such was the case for the Rio Grande Valley, where it was not until 1982 when KZLN, the predecessor of today's KMBH, went on the air.
 
I actually think it'd be really neat to have Sesame Street and the New Mickey Mouse Club back to back! It was something I always dreamed of when I was a little kid for Sesame Street and Disney to collaborate!
