RETRO: WTZA-TV 62, Kingston, NY: Oct. 26-Nov. 1, 1991; Mar. 27-Apr. 3, 1993

For years, the Hudson Valley has had an independent station to call its own, WTZA, whose call letters implied: "From The Tappan Zee To Albany." It launched in December 1985, and would serve its area for nearly a decade, before it was sold and changed to the current WRNN. You can read more about the station's history here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRNN-TV

The following is two full weeks of schedules for WTZA when it was in its prime. They come from Albany, NY editions of TV Guide. Perhaps, if I feel so inclined (or if someone makes a request) I'll post a full day's worth of programs from all stations from either edition. For now, enjoy what was once known as "Hudson Valley Television".

1 AM Video Power (not sure why this program - clearly designated for "children" - was scheduled at 1 AM on a weeknight - perhaps this was an error)

Maybe it was a music video program of the same name as the kids' show (leading to TVG to flag it as "Children")?
 
I would tend to be of the same opinion. However, after posting this thread, I read the Video Power entry on Wikipedia (yes, as obscure as the show was, it has its own Wiki) and it said that the show had two formats, the original being a video game Q&A or talk show format. The second go-round was in the form of a game show, though I am not sure if the game show was geared toward kids. Regardless, I would say that the former of the two would be appropriate for late-night viewing, though I'm not sure why TV Guide still flagged it as "children" - probably because it was based on "kids' stuff"?
