If I believe things correctly, Jay Randolph, Jack Buck, and Mike Shannon did the Cardinals games for KSDK and the whole TV network that covered parts of about six states or so. I'm not sure whether or not the audio was simulcasted on KMOX for its broadcast (and that of the radio network), or whether Randolph did the play-by-play, with Buck and Shannon coming into the TV booth while on break from the radio. If you know anything about that, Bluenoser, we baseball nuts outside the Missouri Valley would sure like to find out. Randolph, BTW, is doing KSDK telecasts of the Cards once again, this time on Sunday afternoons only.

I have seen, on other skeds posted here, regional game carriage that begins in the midst of the first game of a doubleheader. That is something that no networks have done, to my knowledge. I wonder how jarring that would have felt to fans watching, knowing that they may well have missed out on a grand slam hit in the fourth or a triple play in the sixth. I imagine the announcers had a rather awkward job to start the broadcast, with "good evening, fans, glad you could join us. We've already been going here for seven innings, and the Cardinals have so far taken the Expos to the cleaners, with five straight base hits driving in three runs to put them on top 4-1. But the Expos have a top-notch bullpen, and the reliever on the mound now has a 2.25 ERA and can put batters out quick." Or, alternatively, if garbage time had already arrived with a seven-run lead or more, that certainly didn't help keep fans glued for the start of the second game.

Of course, KSDK had to get the news on in the early evening, but one wonders why it and other regional team networks back then even bothered with carrying the afternoon game of a doubleheader in the first place. Perhaps KSDK feared that "Happy Days" on KTVI would deter some fans, so 6:30 was likely a preemptory move. Still, it didn't make much sense to many baseball enthusiasts, I'm sure.

All this is quite antiquated in this day of ESPN and the cable team networks, but it was certainly irritating back then, when those games and NBC's "Game of the Week" were all that fans had.

I would presume that, like the other CBS O&O's as constituted in this period, KMOX used The Late Show title for their movies in that time slot . . .

What CBS shows appear to have preempted by KMOX that night? Was "The Future: What's Next?" a CBS or syndicated show?

It appears the Jean Shepherd and "Harry and Thelma" programs wiped out that night's regular CBS offerings in St. Louis.

Likewise with KMOX, what NBC programs were completely bumped by KSDK for Cardinal baseball that night? Do you know if other Cardinal TV affiliates also carried those games that evening (in markets like Paducah, Springfield/Decatur/Champaign, Quincy, etc.).

BTW, per Baseball-Reference.com, the Cards took the JIP Game 1 of the doubleheader, 3-2, but unfortunately the featured nightcap "treated" fans to a 4-3 Cardinal loss.

Do you also have TV Guide editions and listings that served markets surrounding St. Louis for that night (e.g. Eastern Illinois, Western Illinois, Missouri, Evansville/Paducah) in order to compare these St. Louis listings to those of the other surrounding markets (e.g. Paducah, Springfield/Decatur/Champaign, Quincy/Hannibal, Columbia/Jeff City)

No clue, the St. Louis edition only listed that city's stations, and that's the only edition I have from that particular week. The Future: What's Next? was a network show, by the sounds of it...

No other ones from that week other than that one, unfortunately.
 
I believe KPLR Channel 11 usually aired Little House On The Prairie
weeknights at 7 at this point.
