Re: Retro: Western Illinois-Northeast Missouri Mon-Fri Daytime November 4-8, 197

Thanks for the post.

I recall KTVO airing "Sesame Street," but did not remember KHQA carrying "The Electric Company"...my mom must have flipped it over to WGEM at 9:00 because I do remember watching "The New Zoo Revue." "Name That Tune" was apparently being shown at 9:00 on NBC, which WGEM delayed till noon. KHQA delayed the 9:00 block of CBS game shows to 3:30. WGEM was making use of its secondary ABC affiliation by running "All My Children" and "The $10,000 Pyramid" in the late afternoon. KTVO was airing "All My Children" on a one-day delay at 10:00.

"The Young and the Restless" has always aired at 11:00 on KHQA, except for a brief time in the early '80s. When Y&R expanded to an hour, CBS moved the show to Noon. During this period, KHQA's midday news was aired at 11:30 ("Search for Tomorrow" got bumped to a one-day delay at 11:00). As Y&R's ratings weren't exactly spectacular going head to head with "All My Children" and "Days of Our Lives," CBS moved Y&R to 11:30, but KHQA ran the show on a one-day delay at 11:00 and returned the midday news to noon. It wasn't long after that CBS instituted the split feed of Y&R, offering it at both 11:00 and 11:30 Central Time, which is still in place today.
 
My pleasure to post these, thank you for the information.

I remember "Electric Company" being on KHQA for at least a couple of years, but I never cared much for it. It was pretty "out there", at least to me ;D. "Make a Wish" on KTVO was hosted by a folk-singer type guy who reminded me of Michael-Meathead on AITF. WGEM moved "New Zoo Revue" to 6:25 AM probably less than a year after this. My late Dad once did a hillarious critique of it on my first tape recorder.

I think "All My Children" was taped from KTVI in St. Louis, in those days anyway. Sometimes one of KTVI's promos would sneak in for a few seconds, before a quick-cut to a local ad or just the WGEM ID card. I don't remember the KHQA news being bumped back to 11:30, but by the 80's I wasn't watching much daytime TV.

Click to expand...

So rather than having a secondary Telco line for ABC, did WGEM get
(an apparently) "raw" master control microwave feed from KTVI or
perhaps even just record their over-the-air signal?
 
They probably picked it up off the air, or off cable. I don't know when cable came to Quincy, but KTVI, KMOX (now KMOV), KSDK, and KPLR were available on Quincy cable for years. For several years, KTVO delayed "All My Children" to 3:30. I've been told that WGEM carried AMC off the air from KTVO during this period. It was claimed that KTVO used to put superimposed IDs on the screen in strange positions to mess with WGEM. However, I can remember when it seemed WGEM would be running a different episode than KTVO. Maybe WGEM recorded it a day or two in advance so some editing could be done.
