----------------------

This edition also carried listings for Pittsburgh channels 4 (WTAE, ABC), 11 (WPXI, NBC), 13 (WQED, PBS) and 53 (WPGH, Ind.) in the prime-time grid only (6pm-midnight).
 
As I grew up with seven of these channels, this schedule is of particular interest to me.

> 7:30
> 10 FYI / First Edition
---------
CBC did not have a morning network newscast at this time, so some CBC affiliates produced their own morning programs. CBLT in Toronto had one, known as CBLT Morning.

> 9:30
> 11 Mad Dash
---------
CHCH tended to broadcast game shows produced by Champlain Productions (CFCF-TV) in Montreal, including this and Super Pay Cards, which was broadcast at 12:30 on this day.

> 43 Romper Room
---------
Did Channel 43 have its own local version?

> 11AM
> 11 Cherington
---------
Hosted by Tom Cherington, who would pass away four years later.

> 6PM
> 10 FYI At 6:00 (Eric Sorensen)
---------
This was shortly before Sorensen moved to CFTO in Toronto, and Neil Stevens of CBET replaced him.

> 10PM
> 10 CBC News (Knowlton Nash)
---------
That should be "The National".<P ID="signature">______________

...and both shows were repeated over and over for many years as an easy way to meet Cancon requirements.

By the 1990s, Sorensen moved again -- to CBC, where he was a reporter and, occasionally, substitute anchor on "The National" (though I think he was a regular anchor on CBC's weekend newscasts at one point).

Sorensen had moved around in the CBC network for awhile. I believe he had been at CKNX and CHEX before going to CFPL.<P ID="signature">______________

> 67 Paul Gaudino

Channel 67 ran these two shows back to back into the 1990's in these time periods. Gaudino was a Jack La Lanne clone whose show originated at WPCB-TV 40 in Pittsburgh

> 11:55

Sherry Lee was a Canton area model/commercial actress, hosting a number of talk shows on WJAN-17 dating back to the early 1970's-possibly a bit earlier

6:30

> 67 Dick Van Dyke

This was "The New Dick Van Dyke Show" which originally ran from 1971-74 It and Mayberry RFD were from the same syndicator (Viacom)..They often ran back to back in diferent time slots

Viacom never distributed Mayberry RFD or, maybe, the New Dick Van Dyke -- Metromedia distributed Mayberry in 1984; don't know who distributed New DVD at the time, but today, Warner Bros. holds the rights to both.

Indications are that both shows were distributed by Lorimar/Telepictures, which I now remember from watching the shows at the time, though now both companies are part of Time-Warner

I noticed something rather peculiar about KDKA:

> 2 KDKA (CBS)

I'm rather surprised that they didn't air As The World Turns-not even on a delay. I wonder for how long they didn't air it.
