What stations do you know that used to carry The Galloping Gourmet

[spencerkarter85]

Do you know some stations carrying the 1969-71 syndicated cooking show with Graham Kerr The Galloping Gourmet (which was taped in Ottawa, Canada)? I know that Cooking Channel recently showed reruns two years ago before dropping it.

Here's some stations I know:

KABC-TV (ABC O&O) Los Angeles, California
WLOS-TV (ABC) Asheville, North Carolina
WUSN-TV (then-ABC, now WCBD-TV and NBC) Charleston, South Carolina

In New York, the program was first carried on WCBS-TV (Channel 2, CBS O&O) when it first started in 1969, before moving to WPIX (Channel 11, independent - now CW affiliate) by 1971.

WESH Ch. 2 Daytona Beach/Orlando, FL (NBC)

(I think it later aired on WTOG Ch. 44 (Ind.))
WCCB Ch. 18 Charlotte, NC (ABC then, Fox now)
WTVD Ch. 11 Durham, NC (CBS then, ABC now)
WVEC Ch. 13 Norfolk, VA (ABC)

The full CBC Network.

...rather ironic, as the series was taped at Ottawa CTV affiliate CJOH-TV/13...

...in Green Bay, The Galloping Gourmet was carried by WBAY-TV/2 in the afternoons...

In Syracuse: WNYS Ch. 9 (now WSYR-TV).

Seattle: Checking a 1970 TVG I only see CBUT 2/CHEK 6 in BC, showing Galloping Gourmet. It wasn't shown in Western WA, besides the Canadians.

I'm pretty sure KOMO-4 had it for awhile, because I remember seeing it as a kid. And no, we were not one of those rare Seattle area locations that had early cable...(which may be a whole other thread, because we did have family friends who lived in Sheridan Park, near Lake Forest Park, that had cable in the early 70's and received a couple of Canadian channels)

i remember the guy Guzzlin' wine all during the show, he probably fell off his horse on the way home. he's probably too old to "Gallop" anymore. it was on wttv indianapolis ch 4

 

[Laura151]

I believe I saw it on Channel 5, WPTV, out of West Palm Beach.

On-topic but also off: I remember when WLOS put "The Galloping
Gourmet" on in the summer of 1969, they scheduled it right after
their morning move. One morning the movie ran short and the movie
host, Munsey Millaway (who also did sports at 5:30), waxed ecstatic
over Graham Kerr for what must have been 15 minutes.

Does anyone remember Kerr's "Take Kerr" five-minute show which he
did after his automobile accident and conversion to fundamentalist
Christianity (at which time he swore off wine)? I remember WNCT
Greenville/New Bern/Washington pre-empting Douglas Edwards' midday
newscast to run it in the five minutes between "Love Of Life" and the
local noon news.

WPGH-TV 53 in Pittsburgh carried it for a time in the early 70's, before they went bankrupt
and left the air for a few years.

During the time "Galloping Gourmet" was on, I lived in Minneapolis-St. Paul and attended a boarding school in New Hampshire, so I saw both Twin Cities and Boston TV. Which is why I happen to know he was on in the former on WTCN, ch. 11 (Ind.-now KARE/NBC); and in the latter at WNAC, ch. 7 (ABC-now WHDH/NBC). In the mid 70s, another independent, WSMW ch. 27 Worcester MA, briefly carried reruns. That was at the same time another Boston-area station, WSBK, ch.38, showed his more recent "Take Kerr".

Several markets ran that show. Two of the biggest markets that aired it (both coincidentally on Channel 9): WOR-TV New York (at 2:30, before Movie 9) and WGN-TV Chicago (during the course of The Morning Movie).

I believe that CBN was including it on broadcasts of The 700 Club for awhile.

 

[bpatrick]

Wouldn't surprise me; IIRC, Kerr was a frequent guest on
"The 700 Club" after his conversion to (fundamentalist)
Christianity. I put "fundamentalist" in parentheses because
I don't know what religion he practiced prior to his auto accident.

Correction, WTAE aired GG from '69 or '70 to I believe '71. WPGH picked it up after resuming operations in early '74.
