Movie – “Racing
Blood”
|
|
Window on the World is a WCCO news report on the proposed Minnesota Zoological Garden; WCCO newsmen travel to various zoos around the country, looking at the new wave zoo that tries to replicate the habitat in which the animals would live in the wild. Indeed, the Minnesota Zoo does eventually come to fruition, although it takes a very long time to catch on with the public, and goes through various financial problems. I grew up with St. Paul's Como Park Zoo as the place for school field trips; I still have a fondness for Como as opposed to the "new" zoo.

WCCO had what would be one of the last blocks of local kids' shows, with Clancy, Carmen, and Willie preceding Captain Kangaroo. This meant the station didn't carry the CBS Morning News, which for many years was instead carried on Channel 9, since ABC didn't have a morning news program of its own. It makes sense to me today, but it confused the hell out of me when I was a kid.

I remember Dialing for Dollars from its many years on Channel 5; even though in 1971 we had yet to move to The World's Worst Town™, I have no memory of it being on Channel 11. I wonder if it had the same people? I just checked, and No! While Jim Hutton and Jane Johnston were the hosts most closely associated with Dialing for Dollars on KSTP, the host on WTCN was none other than Mel Jass! I should have known.

Aside from classroom broadcasting, there wasn't much on KTCI back then; it hadn't evolved into a full-fledged secondary PBS channel. TV
Why would a cartoon package with THE FLINTSTONES be in black & white? Hanna-Barbera made everything in color from the start, even if it wasn't originally broadcast that way.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right - I'm guessing probably a typo in the listing.
DeleteFun to see the State Basketball tournament on WTCN and the 2:00 PM start time for the afternoon session and 7:30 for the night session. FWIW this was the 1st year of the class system in MN and on the 1 st two days this year it wasn't one class. Day one had AA in the afternoon and A at night with Day 2 reversed. Friday was the semis and Saturday the finals. The following Saturday,April 3 the two class champs met at Williams Arena for the overall State Title.
