WIS Channel 10(Columbia, South Carolina)
was listed in the cable conversion chart but
no actual listings were carried.
 
"Wheel" and "Jeopardy!" moved to WLOS that fall and have
held down the 7 and 7:30 PM slots ever since. WBTV eventually
dropped them; they can be found today on WCNC, although "Jeopardy!"
airs at 7 and "Wheel" at 7:30.

Seeing Andy Griffith instead of "Ryan's Hope" at noon: no surprise, given
the part of the country (and I'm not sure "RH," which was set in New York
and had a New York feel to it, ever did that great in the South), is typical
of what happened to the soap: when ABC moved it to noon (ET) it lost a
lot of stations in the Eastern time zone, mostly to local news. For my part,
although I often express my fondness for "Guiding Light" on these boards,
I think "Ryan's Hope" was the best-written and best-acted soap ever,
and ABC should have kept it at 12:30 instead of the vastly-inferior "Loving,"
which got the better timeslot because Agnes Nixon's name was on it; she'd
already given ABC "All My Children" and "One Life To Live." "RH" was at least
competitive with "Y&R", which I don't think was true of "Loving."

I remember that in Raleigh/Durham, when "RH" moved to noon, WRAL aired it
at 11:30 AM on a day-behind; when WTVD became the ABC o&o they pre-empted
it altogether.

WYFF Channel 4(NBC)
3:30 Fat Albert And The Cosby Kids
Click to expand...

Was this "The New Fat Albert Show" that was syndicated right around this time?
 
Re "Carolina Noon" on WSPA: that show gave Jane Robelot a
break. She later went to WCAU (then a CBS o&o), then to CBS
as co-anchor of the "CBS Morning News" with John Roberts, then
to Atlanta (to WGCL), and is now back in Greenville, on WYFF.
Somebody once mentioned on one of these threads that she has
some personal problems, health-related, IIRC.
 
I think channel 4 started to clear Santa Barbara (which was pre-empted for it's early years, meaning GSP viewers missed Joel Crothers' last soap opera performance as J. Stanfeld Lee before dying from AIDS/Lymphoma in 1985) in early 1986.
 
I've always thought that WLOS always had Sally Jessy Raphael, didn't realize she was on 4 at this time. If the lineup that was around in 88 was around in 85, Donahue would be on 13, and 4 would have aired Time Machine.

I wonder if WCPQ in Charlotte aired Santa Barbara? with cable picking up that station in parts of Western North Carolina, it's possible.
 
Funny how news at noon were the norm in a lot of places in the Carolinas but in Virginia with the exception of WTKR in Norfolk who did news at noon they were pretty rare. WAVY had a noon newscast in 1984 and 1985 but only on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday and Friday they aired whatever was on NBC at Noon. Richmond, Roanoke and Lynchburg didn't air noon news at all. By the late 80s though news at noon was pretty common. Hour long news in the evenings Richmond's WTVR had that somewhat and Norfolk's WAVY and WVEC had it for a time in the 70s and early 80s but that was discontinued but brought back in the late 80s. Meanwhile in West Virginia news at noon was common on most stations even in the 70s and 80s and WTRF in Wheeling and I believe WSAZ in Huntington/Charleston had a hour long evening newscast in the mid 80s.

That's interesting. I've seen places where Super Password is listed rather than a noon newscast. I think when SP was canceled in 89, almost everybody went to doing noon newscasts.
