It ran exactly 9 months from October 31, 1983-July 27, 1984. NBC replaced
it on July 30, 1984 with Santa Barbara.
 
Thanks for the info. I saw it a few times. It was on during & just after my Senior year of HS ;D. Any info about "Dream House" and "Hot Potato"?
 
I believe that both Dream House and Hot Potato lasted through the summer of 1984, IIRC. I remember that Bill Cullen started hosting The Joker's Wild that fall after the cancellation of Hot Potato.
 
3:00 Family Feud

WGEM dropped "All My Children" for awhile after KTVO started using its 2000-ft. stick near Colony, MO. ABC dropped WGEM as a secondary affiliate because KTVO was able to adequately cover the Quincy area with its new mega signal. KTVO's new tower collapsed in the early summer of 1988, and the station went back to broadcasting from its old 1000-ft. tower at Lancaster, MO, which the station continues to utilize to this day. WGEM resumed airing AMC a short time later, and that continued till the mid-'90s or so. I'm not sure when WGEM dropped ABC's daytime version of "Family Feud"...I can't remember if they carried it till ABC canceled it, or if they dropped it beforehand.

6:30 Jimmy Swaggart (A few years till the downfall)

And KHQA continued to air Swaggart here and on Sunday morning long after "the downfall."

3:00 Tattletales (I thought this one ended before '84
Click to expand...
"Tattletales" had two runs on CBS...February 1974-March 1978, and January 1982-June 1984. The show was replaced by "Body Language," hosted by Tom Kennedy, on June 4, 1984.

KHQA would continue to air "The CBS Late Movie"/"CBS Late Night" in pattern (most of the time) until the fall of 1986. In the fall of 1985, the station experimented with a syndicated movie package from Universal ("Universal Pictures Debut Network") on Friday nights at 10:30. KHQA continued to air "CBS Late Night" in pattern, otherwise, until the fall of 1986, at which time the station aired "The Jeffersons" at 10:30, followed by "CBS Late Night" at 11:00 The syndicated movies continued on Friday nights for a brief time at 11:00, pre-empting CBS programming. "The Jeffersons" would be replaced by "Cheers" in the fall of '88, the short-lived Bill Cosby vehicle, "You Bet Your Life," in 1992, and "Cheers" would return shortly thereafter. KHQA returned to clearing CBS at 10:35 when Letterman moved to the network in 1993. KHQA initially delayed "The Late Late Show with Tom Snyder" to 1:05 AM, later moving it up to 12:05. KHQA would not clear the entire CBS late-night line-up in pattern until Craig Kilborn took over "The Late Late Show" from Tom Snyder in 1999.

1:00 CBS News Nightwatch (I guess KHQA was our first all-nighter)
Click to expand...
KHQA was, indeed, the first all-nighter in the tri-states, at least on weeknights. "CBS News Nightwatch" debuted in October of 1982, and KHQA carried all four hours from the beginning. However, KHQA dropped the show and resumed signing off at night in the fall of 1986 when the station decided to delay "CBS Late Night" to 11:00 to make room for "The Jeffersons" at 10:30. KHQA resumed 24-hour broadcasting at some point in the mid-'90s. Ironically, WGEM declined to carry the short-lived "NBC News Overnight" in 1982, which only aired for an hour beginning at 12:30. WGEM substituted a short, local, audio-only newscast over a station slide before signing off. However, WGEM carried "NBC Nightside" from its debut in 1991 or so; WGEM has been a 24-hour station ever since.

I believe The Jokers Wild was the last game show Cullen did before his death a few years later ( 1990 ).

Hot Potato had a very bizzare run in the Hampton Roads ( Norfolk-Portsmouth-Virginia Beach ) market when it was on the air. The local NBC affiliate WAVY-TV 10 aired Hot Potato at Noon and only on Fridays. Monday thru Thursday WAVY aired their noon news at the time. Hot Potato was nowhere to be seen at all on WAVY's Monday thru Thursday schedule.
Why WAVY did this and better yet, why did NBC allow it remains a TV mystery.
 
Thanks to all who contributed information. And SteveRichards, either you have an EXTRAORDINARY memory, or you must have worked in broadcasting in this area. As I read, I could feel the rusty cogs of my memory slowwwly turning, saying "Yeah, I remember that.....well.....sorta ;D

Did Bert Convy also host the second version of "Tattletales"? I have no recollection of it, but by the early 80's, with school, work, & partying I didn't see near as much TV of any kind as in the 70's. Also we got cable in late '82, and I steadily lost track of the locals from that point on.

I remeber those late-night sign off newscasts with the station ID slide. KHQA and WGEM both did 'em, not sure about KTVO, I know they had an NMSU mens chorus doing the National Anthem, then the quick shot of the guy throwing the "main disconnect" switch to turn the station off for the night. Remember THAT?? ;D
 
I grew up in northeast Missouri, had a subscription to TV Guide, and probably watched way too much TV!

Bert Convy hosted "Tattletales" in both CBS incarnations.

I don't recall KTVO doing any news before signing off back in those days, but they may have. I have a vague memory of KHQA running "Studio 7" after "The CBS Late Movie" back in the late '70s and very early '80s, and I think they followed that with local news. "Studio 7" was also aired for a few years at 7:15AM (I think) following Chuck Kuppler's morning farm report, which was at 7AM. The hour-long CBS morning show (in whatever form) was carried live from the east coast feed at 6AM. I don't think KHQA ever cleared "Sunrise Semester" from CBS.
 
I also vagueley remember "Studio 7" being shown after "CBS Late Movie". KHQA aired "Sunrise Semester" until about the early 70's. It's in the next thread I'll post...
