What's on TV? Thursday, January 8, 1970

Well, I don't think we've ever seen anything quite like this. It's our first trip to Montana, and I think it speaks to the state's wide-open spaces that every single local station has at least two, if not three, affiliations. Not only that, but we've got shows being programmed at different times all over the place. Who would expect to see Jackie Gleason at 5:30 p.m., or Jim Nabors at 6:00 p.m,  You have no idea how challenging it was to keep all of this straight. It's worth it though, right?

    I recall seeing a story on NBC's REAL PEOPLE about KYUS-TV, which became an NBC affiliate later in 1970. The station owners were featured in this story, as they produced the news and other local programming for the station themselves. They sold the station in 1984, and it's now a satellite of other Montana stations.

    Clearly, these folks understood the Ben Franklin quote, "Early to bed...." Makes my eastern seaboard blood run cold....

    And Walter Brennan and Joey Heatherton (Lola Heatherton in the SCTV alternate universe) at 5: 30...Oh, the horror...
