CBS didn't start airing game shows again until 1972 when The Joker's Wild and Gambit premiered.

Don't forget that "The (New) Price is Right" began on that same day in 1972, with Joker and Gambit.

Of course, before then, CBS had a short-lived daytime gamer in early-1972 -- "The Amateur's Guide to Love", starring Gene Rayburn.

How could I forget The Price Is Right??

Although KTVO was now a primary ABC affiliate, the station was apparently delaying 3 ABC shows till later in the afternoon to take the "live" feed of some CBS soaps (and also "All My Children" to do a noon newscast). I see they were also clearing "Jeopardy!" from NBC at 11:00, pre-empting "The Best of Everything" from ABC all together, although that show only lasted 6 months. Typically, an affiliate would clear the "live" feed of the primary network and delay the shows from the secondary network(s). KTVO also had quite a hodgepodge between 7:15 and 9:30.

Looks like KHQA was clearing the entire CBS schedule (even "Sunrise Semester") in pattern.

WGEM was delayng Linkletter (on NBC at 12:30) till 4:00 so it could run a second airing of Jack LaLanne at 12:30.

Again, nice to see a WJJY schedule, although the station seemed to be a bit of a joke outside of the ABC line-up, even clearing instructional programming from WILL-TV in Urbana from 9 to 10.
