Why would any station be carrying Wimbledon coverage in August, especially 2.5 hours of a tournament that finished in July?

As far as the Expos go, I think they were a CFCF/Montreal carry at that point, so they were a CTV optional or maybe CFCF had it's own syndication deal. Did they carry a Blue Jays game that Wednesday? I think they were full CTV still at that point.

Because Bluenoser got the date on the schedule wrong.

Now you know why I spell out months when I post retro schedules (I know, I know, I haven't done that in a while) rather than use an all numeric date format ... :)<P ID="signature">______________

Out of curiousity, and mostly wonderring if this was a cop show ('Sounds like Kojak, eh?' ;-) )I checked tv.com. This was a mid-60s drama about a coroner at a Toronto hospital...so more along the lines of 'Quincy'.

From the now-defunct International Basketball Association, where all players had to be 6'5" or shorter.

Interesting for a US-based commeicial station to run 'Britcoms', especially since I don't think these ever aired on PBS.
