Change is in the air with this week's Portland (Oregon) edition. Effective Sunday, KATU, Channel 2, becomes the new ABC affiliate, while KPTV, Channel 12, is now an independent. The moves are accompanied with plenty of advertising; today's pages include ads for Combat! and The Fugitive from KATU, "Now ABC in Portland," while KPTV introduces a new slate of programs, including Thriller, Strikes and Spares, and tonight's debut of the excellent British series The Human Jungle (which I mentioned on Saturday). In sports, the old saying is that "you can't tell the players without a scorecard"; in the case of television, you can't tell the shows without TV Guide. Ah, what a great ad that would have been.

“Crack-up” (1946)

TV
I have a TV Guide from this market for the week of Sept. 28 - Oct. 4, 1963, and it shows that KATU-TV was an original station to carry LEAVE IT TO BEAVER in syndicated reruns on Monday, Sept. 30. ABC aired a rerun of the show for the last time on Thursday, Sept. 12.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a kinescope of Tuesday night's YOU DON'T SAY! with "Pat Carols" and "Gary Lackeywood" at Paley Museum, probably the NYC branch. I wish the networks could still make a game show that fun & challenging.
At least KPTV got to show ABC's broadcast of the 1964 Winter Olympics before losing their affiliation.
ReplyDeleteBut back then, the Olympics weren't the major TV attraction they later became.
Although KPTV had moved to VHF some years earlier (it began on UHF channel 27 and actually predated the VHF stations), it was the big loser as there wasn't very many attractive syndicated programming then, plus Portland, Oregon didn't have NBA, NHL, or MLB teams then.
If Portland had teams in at least one of those leagues in 1964 (Portland would eventually get an NBA club but never has had an NHL or MLB franchise), KPTV could have carried quite a few games of such teams as they would have no conflicts with network programming.
KATU was the big winner, for they got a network affiliation. Granted it was ABC, but ABC made big ratings strides from the end of the 1950's through the mid 1970's, and by 1976, was number one in overall prime-time ratings for the first time.
