I suspect that the Ken Norton/Jimmy Ellis bout aired live across the network; meaning it would be seen at 9 P.M. EST.

This will explain why some ABC-TV network programs on Seattle's KOMO-4 were seen an hour and a half later than usual for the West Coast; in the Eastern and Central time zone, these programs preceded the fight.

According to Shrp Sports.com, the Vancouver Canucks were off that night; otherwise, their game likely would have been broadcast by CBC stations in British Columbia. I believe that during this era (before "Hockey Night In Canada" went to Saturday-night doubleheaders), Saturday games in Vancouver generally began at 5:05 P.M. PDT/PST. If the Canucks were playing the Los Angeles Kings, and if the game was not broadcast outside of B.C., then such game might have been played at 8:05 PT, but I don't know for certain.
