Here's a full schedule for the week of October 10-14, 1983 for the St. Louis area. I put a considerable amount of effort in putting this together, like condensing the schedule in easy-to-read form, trying to come up with local movie umbrella titles and as well as trying to find out who anchored the local news on Channels 2, 4, 5 and 11. So I had to make educated guesses in a couple of instances with regard to the two. Here's the schedule:
