It's also the first Saturday of baseball season (by the way, did you see the Opening Week baseball tribute on the other blog? If not, take a moment and check it out), which means Channel 33 cuts American Bandstand back to a half hour. I don't know if I would have been so thrilled about that if I'd been a music fan instead of a sports fan. And a good prime-time lineup, from Mission: Impossible to Pearl Bailey to Mannix. All in all, an eminently watchable day of television.
This week's listings are from Cleveland, with Youngstown and Canton thrown in for good measure.

TV
It's interesting that there was only one hour of live coverage of the third round of the 1971 Masters.
ReplyDeleteI would think there were either 90 minutes or two hours of live coverage during the final round the next day.
By contrast, there were four hours of live coverage of this year's (2017) third round and six hours of live coverage of this year's final round (although it was a playoff that resulted in CBS carrying that much final-round coverage; otherwise, it would have been about five hours).
There was no live coverage of the first two rounds in 1971; this year, ESPN did three-and-a-half hours of live coverage in each of the first two rounds.
What I'd like to see CBS do starting in 2018 is to become the sole TV broadcaster of the Masters, with five-and-a-half hours of live coverage (12:30-6 P.M. EDT) for each of the first two rounds; seven hours (12 Noon-7 P.M.) of the third round; and seven-and-a-half hours (12 Noon-7:30 P.M. EDT) of live final-round coverage.
That would result in 25-1/2 hours of live coverage in total, as opposed to the 16 planned hours and 17 actual hours of live coverage in 2017, and give the Masters the amount of live on-air coverage the other "majors" in golf get.
I don't know if CBS is willing to give up two more days of its daytime schedule for the Masters. They might put the first two rounds on the CBS Sports Network, but that network doesn't have the subscribers. CBSSN is rarely on the lower tiers of cable and satellite companies (To get CBSSN on DirecTV, you have to have Choice Xtra or above).
DeleteIf you forgot about the Jerry Lewis cartoon...you likely forgot that Lewis didn't voice his character. That job went to David L. Lander, aka Andrew J. "Squiggy" Squigman on LAVERNE & SHIRLEY.
ReplyDeleteHad CBS coverage of the Masters' Golf Tournament not aired, WJW Channel 8 would have aired "Hawaii Five-O" at 5 pm, of course on tape--delay from Wednesday at 10, which is the live eastern time zone feed. WJW ran movies from it's own library from 8:30 pm to 10:30 pm.
ReplyDeleteToo bad you couldn't post the schedule for WAKR Channel 23(ABC) in Akron.
