What's on TV? Tuesday, June 9, 1970

If you're of an age where most of the programs in these TV Guides feel more like old friends than anything else, you'll remember Dialing for Dollars. Almost every market had some form of it, where if you knew "the count and the amount" when the station called, you could win a nice chunk of changes, 1960s style. As you can see this week, it still runs on WLAC in Nashville, appearing periodically throughout the day. But if you look carefully, you'll also see something called "Gilligan's Giveaways" during the afternoon showing of Gilligan's Island. "Gilligan's Giveaways"? Don't you wonder what that might have been? Something kid-oriented, considering the show's airtime and audience? Might have to look into that sometime, but in the meantime, the shows you're seeing this time are from the Nashville edition.
