No surprise WBAY-2 Green Bay had "gone to color" by this time: I suspect that besides outfitting their studio(s) for color, they probably also had a color remote van that CBS used for Packers' football remotes.
 
While I'm surprised that WFRV ran Tonight for the full 105 minutes, there are a couple of Wisconsin NBC affiliates that aren't in this edition: WEAU in Eau Claire, and WDSM (now KBJR) in Superior (licensed to the Wisconsin side of the Twin Ports).

I thought that those stations would've been in TV Guide's subsequent "Northern Wisconsin" edition, but it looks like they were only in various "Minnesota" editions. Going from Wikipedia, it looks like the "Wisconsin" edition (which appears here) was split into "Northern Wisconsin" and "Illinois/Wisconsin" in 1973.

IIRC, the La Crosse & Eau Claire stations started getting listed in the Northern Wisconsin TV Guide when WXOW-TV 19 La Crosse (another satellite of WKOW at the time) went on the air in 1971. They also started listing WKBT/8 (CBS) and WEAU/13 (NBC) at that time as well. This was also about the time when WAOW started separating itself from WKOW. It had its own local newscasts by that time, although the stations were still advertised as the Wisconsin TV Network.

Duluth-Superior stations were never listed in that edition, AFAIK.
 
Pat Boone at 10 AM on both WFRV and WLUK? Pat's show was on NBC;
I would assume "Supermarket Sweep" was on ABC affiliate WLUK.
