KMOX though a CBS O & O is preempting the Sunday Morning cartoons, What's New Mr Magoo and Skatebirds which were reruns of Saturday morning cartoons CBS had in the 77-78 season. WOnder if this was just missing from listings or that they just did not run it. Its unusual for an O & O not to run a network offering. Also missing from Channel 2 was Kids Are People Too and Animals Animals Animals. KTVI though was an affiliate so I can see them preempting ABC Sunday kids shows. Still ABC affiliates mostly ran ABC Sunday shows far more than CBS Affiliates ran CBS SUnday cartoons and Kids Shows.

No typo for KMOX...People Speak was listed as 90 minutes...
 
A number of ABC affiliates ran "Kids Are People Too" and/or
"Animals Animals Animals" in the 7-8 AM (ET) slot on Saturday.
Did Channel 2 carry either between 6 and 7 AM (CT)?

I grew up in a neighboring market, and I have no specific memory of Channel 4 clearing the CBS Sunday morning cartoons in the late '70s or '80s. Beginning at some point in the early '80s, Channel 4 even started bumping 30 minutes of the CBS Saturday morning cartoons to air "D.B.'s Delight."
