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.
