A shame that former independent stations are now owned or affiliated with networks. While that schedule above isn't all that great, it beats the current offerings on MYTV or Ion.
 
For me, the highlight of this schedule is the series premiere of Inspector Gadget, as I used to love watching that show on Nickelodeon growing up.

Does anyone know what time it was on on WKBD, WLVI, and KBHK on December 4, 1982? I know it was on 6:00 p.m. CST on WFLD-TV 32.
