41 Movie "Meet John Doe"
 
A A few short lived series (Bring 'Em Back Alive, 9 to 5) and some on their downward trip (Happy Days) at this point. Surprised 'Thirty Seconds' was the late movie and not 'Tora, Tora Tora!' which was still airing regularly on 12/7 at this point.
 
This schedule was before the startup of Topeka's current ABC outlet KTKA-49. In the early 80s, I remember seeing some notices in Broadcasting magazine about KQTV attempting to buil a 2000 foot tower between St. Joseph and Topeka. It never got past the proposal stage. Tried to find some references to it by searching at AmericanRadioHistory.com, but I didn't turn up anything.

Had it been built, it would have made for a rather strange TV market.
