Back in the 1970's, the Athens Messenger was published Sunday thru Friday. They didn't publish a newspaper on Saturday back then.

From what I've seen on microfilm at Ohio University, The Athens Messenger would publish the tv listings for the evening and daylight listings for the next day. I believe the Friday edition had Friday evening listing, then listing for all day Saturday.
