A few questions: I've noticed in listings from this era that Sally Jessy Raphael is a half-hour, but I always remember it being an hour. When did it expand its length, and did it lose any stations over the expansion?
Also, when one sees listings that just say "Cartoons" from this time period (KAYU, 8 am), what does that usually mean? Low-budget or public domain Fleischer cartoons? It's just kind of a vague listing.
