How does a person go about getting this info? I grew up watching KCMT out of Alexandria, MN and am very interested in past schedules from the 60's and 70's. Any help would be appreciated.

I cannot speak for your area, but I found a site which has archived most Miami News issues, including TV listings days and weekends:

http://www2.palmbeachpost.com/proje...searchTerms=miami+news&submit.x=9&submit.y=10

Kinda hard to navigate, bu I got the hang of it. Maybe here are other metros which archive the papers. NOTE: he Miami News is defunct, last issue in 1988. "Living" newspapers might charge for info online.

In my case, the information comes from the TV Guides, but I'm trying to think of the newspapers in that area that might have had significant information. There's the Echo Press in Alexandria, and the Sun Tribune in Morris, which was the nearest daily newspaper to where we lived at the time. Just let me know if there's anything in particular you're looking for - a fair number of the TV Guides I've got have listings from KCMT.
 
Thanks for you response. Just in general anything from the late 60's through the 70's for KCMT. I am interested in weekdays and weekends. I would be interested in anything for KCMT. If you could post more, or message me some schedules it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey Rowdyjoe, happy to oblige. I'll dig through and see what I can come up with - I know there's some fairly interesting stuff out there, and I'll put them both here and on the blog. After that, if there's anything you want me to follow up on, just let me know!
