Typical NBC station
 
ABC had an early-Saturday-evening newscast at 6:30,
anchored by Ted Koppel; I remember watching it on
KSAT San Antonio. This may have been what 10 and 40
had at 6:30. Prior to 1973, Ch. 10 had a local newscast,
which it dropped when ABC started "The Reasoner Report,"
and carried the network newscast that replaced it around
1975. At some point I seem to recall Sylvia Chase and Tom
Jarriel as anchors of that newscast.
 
Here are the actual listings from the St. Petersburg Times, with fill-ins from the Ocala Star-Banner. The Sarasota Herald Tribune had listings this day, but I think they provided the listings for the wrong Saturday, as they don't match up with the Times and OSB listings; because of this, I could not verify listings for the Fort Myers stations.
