What's on TV? Saturday, October 25, 1969

An uneventful day in an uneventful week, and I suppose we should be grateful for small favors like that. Over on NBC, one of the two schools on College Bowl is the University of Minnesota at Morris, located about ten miles from the World's Worst Town™. They lost badly to Bradley, though, so I don't feel too bad about it. On the syndicated music show Upbeat (1:00 p.m., WGR), whoever edited the listings managed to misspell Lesley Gore's name, but considering the number of typos I make, I shouldn't complain too much. And on tonight's Boston Symphony concert, the narrator of Copland's "Lincoln Portrait" is Senator Ted Kennedy. I wonder when this was recorded; Chappaquiddick, after all, was only three months before. What would Honest Abe have thought?

It's a bilingual TV Guide this week; although our focus is on Buffalo and Rochester, we've also taken a brief foray across the border to Toronto, where as always we see an interesting mix of American and Canadian shows. CBLT, for example, picks up mostly CBS programming, with a Show of the Week starring Canadian hero Gordon Lightfoot. They also provide us with a rare glimpse of the famed British soap Coronation Street, before it would make its way to American TV. On the other hand, Hamilton's independent CHCH has a variety of syndicated programs that would be familiar on any American independent. Here you are - enjoy!

T
oday I'm pleased to hand the commentary reigns over to Jon Hobden. As you'll recall from Saturday, Jon is the lender of this week's issue, and since this comes from the area in which he grew up, I thought he would be well-qualified to give us local color and insight into today's listings. Take it away, Jon!

This week we're in upstate New York, with a collection of stations located in Syracuse, Albany and Rochester, among many other locations (including one in Canada!). I don't know much about this area; I think this is the first time I've looked at an issue from this area. That doesn't make it any less interesting, though, and since I don't know any more than you, let's learn together.
