I know I've written about this before, and I'll probably do so again when there's nothing else in particular to point out, but I'm always amazed by how many programs there were on television, particularly in daytime. Most of the soaps were only 15 minutes (a carryover from radio), and almost everything else was a half-hour, but with occasisonal news updates thrown in. Look at WGAL, for instance: 19 programs between noon and 6:00 p.m. And WPTZ has 17 programs in primetime. Do you think networks even have that many ideas for programs nowadays? Judging by how much of the day is turned over to news, I doubt it. The news for you is that these listings are from the Philadelphia edition.
