Mitchell - I really enjoy your page & writings. Good luck with your move back to the Twin Cities! I'm a long-time reader, first time poster:
ReplyDeleteKTCA-2 5:00pm "Nature of Things" this long-running science & exploration program comes from Canada's public network: CBC-TV. Hosted by well-known & sometimes controversial Canadian scientist Dr David Suzuki, this hard-hitting show, while informative, often offers some 'tough love' for a planet in deep trouble. At other times, it's subject matter offers optimism & glimpses into our future. Critics of the show often feel that there's an underlay of left-leaning politics that taints the findings subjects chosen by Suzuki. "Nature of Things" is still in regular production & airs weekly on CBC television.
It's interesting to note that by the mid-1980's many stations a number of markets were operating 24 hours. It's hard to tell whether WCCO-4 is 24 hrs - it lists local news airing at 1:55 am & morning programs begin at 6 am. Was this continuous news until 6 am? However, chs 5, indie channel 9 & 11 all offer overnight programming. In my region, some stations in the nearby Seattle-Tacoma market, also Vancouver BC had overnight programming by the mid-80's too. I think one of the first in our area to do this was CBS outlet KIRO-7 Seattle & I believe this might have been due to newly available overnightt CBS news programming.
forgot to sign my above post...Mike in British Columbia
ReplyDeleteBenny Hill on a CBS late primetime...
ReplyDeleteBenny Hill was being sold in the USA as a strip - five nights a week.
DeleteWas WCCO carrying it that way, or just on the weekend?
And as long as I'm here:
Was Love Boat a two-hour special that week?
ABC did a bunch of those over the series run.
The normal occupant of that second hour would have been Fantasy Island, in what proved to be its final network season.
