*Prior to the sign-on of WPNE-TV/38 Green Bay, WHRM-TV/20 Wausau and WHWC-TV/28 Menomonie, the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board brokered blocks of programming time from several commercial stations in order to air "Sesame Street," "The Electric Company" and in-school instructional programs under the umbrella title "Classroom." The station that the most time was brokered from was KFIZ-TV/34 Fond du Lac, which simulcast programming relayed from the off-the-air signals of WMVS-TV/10 Milwaukee, WHA-TV/21 Madison and WLUK-TV/11 Green Bay. Prior to this, KFIZ-TV usually signed on the air at 2:00 P.M. with reruns of "Make Room for Daddy" and "I Love Lucy." The coordinator for this brokering program was Russ Widoe, who in earlier years had been cartoon hosts Colonel Caboose on WBAY-TV/2 Green Bay and Captain WITI on WITI/6 Milwaukee. It was Widoe who had been instrumental in moving the location of the proposed Green Bay-market PBS outlet from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh (where it was to hae had the call sign WHKW-TV) to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay; in the same process, the NPR affiliate for the Green Bay market was also moved from Chilton, directly across Lake Winnebago from Oshkosh, to UW-GB and the call sign changed from WHKW to WPNE.
**This combination of two stations running their own versions of "Dialing for Dollars" created a lot of frustration in Eastern Wisconsin. The signals of both WFRV-TV/5 Green Bay and WISN-TV/12 Milwaukee were equally well-recieved in Fond du Lac and Sheboygan Counties; in fact, WISN-TV also operated translator stations in both Sheboygan and Fond du Lac. The formulas for the two games were different -- a cash amount and a number "up" or "down" on WISN-TV, and a cash amount and the name of one of that evening's NBC prime time programs on WFRV-TV -- which meant that a Sheboygan or Fond du Lac County contestant sometimes uttered the nams "Daniel Boone," "Laugh-In" or "Flip Wilson" over CBS affiliate WISN-TV.
***The 10:00 "To Be Announced" on KFIZ-TV was a direct result of the local newscast on WVTV/18 Milwaukee. The newscast would rarely, if ever, end atexactly 10:15, and KFIZ had arranged to simulcast WVTV's carriage of "The Merv Griffin Show" (which was usually tape-delayed by WVTV from CBS the previous weeknight). So KFIZ, instead of airing either the Milwaukee-based newscast of WVTV or producing its own, usually ran a couple of "Mr. Magoo" cartoons and some public service anouncements until WVTV rolled its Griffin tape. Thus, although the listing makes it appear that KFIZ was carring the same Griffin show from a direct CBS feed as WLUC-TV/6 Marquette and WSAU-TV/7 Wausau, in fact KFIZ merely put 10:30 on their listing bulletin and would already be well into the previous night's Griffin show by the time 10:30 did roll around.

*Prior to the sign-on of WPNE-TV/38 Green Bay, WHRM-TV/20 Wausau and WHWC-TV/28 Menomonie, the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board brokered blocks of programming time from several commercial stations in order to air "Sesame Street," "The Electric Company" and in-school instructional programs under the umbrella title "Classroom." The station that the most time was brokered from was KFIZ-TV/34 Fond du Lac, which simulcast programming relayed from the off-the-air signals of WMVS-TV/10 Milwaukee, WHA-TV/21 Madison and WLUK-TV/11 Green Bay. Prior to this, KFIZ-TV usually signed on the air at 2:00 P.M. with reruns of "Make Room for Daddy" and "I Love Lucy." The coordinator for this brokering program was Russ Widoe, who in earlier years had been cartoon hosts Colonel Caboose on WBAY-TV/2 Green Bay and Captain WITI on WITI/6 Milwaukee. It was Widoe who had been instrumental in moving the location of the proposed Green Bay-market PBS outlet from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh (where it was to hae had the call sign WHKW-TV) to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay; in the same process, the NPR affiliate for the Green Bay market was also moved from Chilton, directly across Lake Winnebago from Oshkosh, to UW-GB and the call sign changed from WHKW to WPNE.
**This combination of two stations running their own versions of "Dialing for Dollars" created a lot of frustration in Eastern Wisconsin. The signals of both WFRV-TV/5 Green Bay and WISN-TV/12 Milwaukee were equally well-recieved in Fond du Lac and Sheboygan Counties; in fact, WISN-TV also operated translator stations in both Sheboygan and Fond du Lac. The formulas for the two games were different -- a cash amount and a number "up" or "down" on WISN-TV, and a cash amount and the name of one of that evening's NBC prime time programs on WFRV-TV -- which meant that a Sheboygan or Fond du Lac County contestant sometimes uttered the nams "Daniel Boone," "Laugh-In" or "Flip Wilson" over CBS affiliate WISN-TV.
***The 10:00 "To Be Announced" on KFIZ-TV was a direct result of the local newscast on WVTV/18 Milwaukee. The newscast would rarely, if ever, end atexactly 10:15, and KFIZ had arranged to simulcast WVTV's carriage of "The Merv Griffin Show" (which was usually tape-delayed by WVTV from CBS the previous weeknight). So KFIZ, instead of airing either the Milwaukee-based newscast of WVTV or producing its own, usually ran a couple of "Mr. Magoo" cartoons and some public service anouncements until WVTV rolled its Griffin tape. Thus, although the listing makes it appear that KFIZ was carring the same Griffin show from a direct CBS feed as WLUC-TV/6 Marquette and WSAU-TV/7 Wausau, in fact KFIZ merely put 10:30 on their listing bulletin and would already be well into the previous night's Griffin show by the time 10:30 did roll around.
