I may've asked this elsewhere, but did KMOX use the Late Show title (probably The Late Late Show too) for its movies at this time frame of late night/early morning, as the other CBS O&O's had?
 
I actually remember this Saturday well; it was the first one I can remember where all big 3 networks (at the time, of course), trotted out their new Saturday Morning lineups all at once on the same day. I don't remember it occuring simultaneously with all 3 (later 4 of course) ever again?
