Unusual that an O&O would bump network shows for local programming, especially programming more fitting for PBS. So what should be on CBS that night?

With the game slotted for 3.5 hours and scheduled at 6:30PM CT, I doubt very much that it was JIP'd.

Maybe one station had the 1980-1981 episodes produced in Canada, and the other had reruns from the 1970s syndicated version?

(1) CBS had the movie Portrait of a Stripper 8-10 CT.
(2) That's what I thought too, that would have been a 7:30 ET start- I just reported what TVG listed.
(3) Could be...not enough of an expert on the show to know one way or the other....
 
In relation to KMOX(V), I was watching a YouTube video recently, and it was a 30 minute promotional sales video (broken-up into two parts) from the CBS Television Stations group for 1981, and it seemed (at least to me) that the CBS O&Os had a bit more leeway in airing locally-produced programming in primetime.

Take a look...

And my Cards would split the doubleheader--winning 3-2 in the first game but the Expos bounced back 4-3 in the nightcap--en route to finishing with the best overall NL East record for 1981 but jipped out of the playoffs in that strike-halved season (by "virtue" of finishing second in both halves of the season--as did the Cincinnati Reds in the NL West). But thankfully the 9th World Series victory would be looming for the following season. ;D ;D

And do you know OTOH what NBC actually aired that night, when KSDK bumped their entire network lineup for the Cards? But then again, it could be a homework project for me that I could answer at my local library--especially since the Springfield (IL) State Journal-Register TV insert in '81 included listings for St. Louis, Peoria and Quincy/Hannibal stations in addition to Springfield/Decatur/Champaign (and thus would have included the exact listings from this schedule). ;D

According to a quick check of the Montreal Gazette listings on Google News Archive, NBC's sked that night was (CT):

7:00 Crash Island
8:00 Movie "Legend of the Golden Gun"

What was "Crash Island"? By the looks of that name, it has "unsold pilot" written all over it.

Not sure, but given the nets liked to burn off unsold pilots before the start of the season, I wouldn't rule it out :D

What normally aired in that half-hour slot?

Things are a bit unclear on that, as ch 5 aired ballgames in the slot most of that week...they aired Newsbeat on Monday that week, with Friday having 15 min of news, followed by a 15 min pre-game show.
