The "Hungry World" telethon reeks World Vision, which presented these telethons (mainly, marathons of these specials) during the 1970s and 1980s, running four hours in prime-time, plus a break for news, and continuing for another hour at 11:30, with stations (especially network affiliates) having their own programming or an early sign-off following at 12:30AM, since late-night shows on the networks were already in progress, and most of these didn't delay or join in progress.

Though, to be honest, I find it kind of odd that Johnny was pre-empted for one night for a hunger special.
 
I'm surprised no Buffalo stations are listed. I thought Woodstock and some of the Tobacco Belt had Buffalo stations on cable even back then. The Free Press certainly listed some of them.

As a sidenote, while I'm thinking about newspapers, I recently discovered a variety of old newspaper microfilms from around Canada and one or two American ones in my university library. If anyone has any specific requests, please e-mail me directly, as per forum rules.

I thought TPIR had been extended to a full hour by this point. Did CKCO only show the first or last half, or did they run repeats from earlier in the 1970s?

What was WJET calling its news at this point? I know they didn't start "Action News 24" until 1979.

I have heard of this program. Was it a magazine, or just a mid-evening newscast? And, was this the same program previously known as "File 13" (probably changed when Channel 42 went on the air; it was still listed for several years after Ch. 2 started)?

Most likely 54 did not sign on until 4pm because school was on winter break.

I think there's a couple of errors in your post...

1: Where it says "Three's Company" for channels 18, 32 and 59, it should say "The Electric Company" (I don't think "Three's Company" premiered yet.)

2: You have a listing that goes "8-32-59" instead of "18-32-59".<P ID="signature">______________
