A couple of notes:
-None of the listed CBS affiliates carried "CBS News Nightwatch," which aired between 1AM and 5AM; KHQA cleared it until the fall of 1986.
-WQAD did not carry "Nightline."

Maybe because M*A*S*H was still getting great ratings for WFLD at 10 PM. Of course, that would be a wise decision on their part.

On a side note, odd that they're were listings for in-school programs for WTTW (ableit only a half-hour block at 11AM) -- usually in TVG, they wouldn't be listed at all, other than a disclaimer on the "channels listed" page. Did WTTW request TVG to provide listings?
