Who were that night's guests?

 

[Joseph_Gallant]

I don't think CBC stations usually showed regular-season NHL games on nights other than Saturdays.

However, October 10th, 1979 was Opening Night of the 1979/80 NHL season for many teams, so CBC decided to broadcast a special midweek edition of "Hockey Night In Canada" which (in at least Ontario and likely points East) featured Toronto hosting the New York Rangers (the latter was a Stanley Cup Finalist the previous year).

While defending champion Montreal would not open their season until the next night (October 11th; did CBC carry that game nationally or regionally??), that night also marked the first games in the NHL for two former World Hockey Association teams (the Quebec Nordiques and the original Winnipeg Jets), and it's possible (but don't know for sure) that "HNIC" may have regionally carried Quebec's opener against the old Atlanta Flames in Quebec and Winnipeg's opener in Pittsburgh at least in Manitoba and maybe points west.

Although I suspect WKBD-50 probably carried only away games of the Red Wings during the regular season back then, I would not be surprised if their 1979/80 home opener against Philadelphia on October 20th was also telecast by WKBD, given that it was the first game played at Joe Louis Arena.

So 4 years later, here's the answer...

They, as was typical still in 1979, aired various programs in the 7:30 time slot. It appears from looking at other days, it was quite varied between game shows and local programs.

Of course, the match-up was not yet known at the time TV Guide went to press.

#4

Actually, it does not appear so. It appears TV Guide had a misprint that night due to the CBS special at 11:30. The listing for Switch at midnight says to see channel 3 at 11:30 and the listing for Hawaii Five-O says to see channel 3 at 12:40. That's the same as what is listed on other nights for channel 2.
