Great listing.

Weird to see CBS News on Ch. 9. IIRC, 4 didn't take the CBS Morning News until the 2 hour version with Bill Kurtis and Diane Sawyer, taking it live at 6am Central.

You might be right, unless they also carried its predecessor, when Charles Kuralt and Sawyer hosted the weekday version of the "Sunday Morning" show. I know that didn't last long, though. Can't remember how they handled that one. Considering the ratings, CBS would have been better off keeping Captain Kangaroo!
 
I was pretty young, but I remember cartoons at 7:00am around '79-80; in '81, there was the Morning Report with Skip Loescher at 7 and then Charlie Rose at 7:30. Donohue was on at 8 forever.
