1979 Daytime Schedules-Eastern/Central Time Zone Edition

Subtract one hour to get the schedule for the Central Time zone. Many ABC shows on the Pacific Time feed use Central Time slotting except where noted.

1979/01/08-Changes

On this date, NBC debuts a new game show "All Star Secrets" hosted by Bob Eubanks at 10:30 ET, 9:30 CT/PT. It moved "Jeopardy!" ot the 12 ET, 11 CT/PT slot, the same slot it had in the earlier days. NBC also added "Password Plus" hosted by Allen Ludden at 12:30 ET, 11:30 CT/PT, a time slot it once had on ABC in the early 70s. To make room, NBC declared "America Alive" dead and removed it from its schedule.

1979/03/05-Changes

In what was probably the biggest gamble of the daytime schedule, NBC did the unthinkable. It expanded "Another World" to 90 minutes to help NBC compete with the resurging ratings of ABC's soap opera block. "Another World" took the 2:30-4:00 ET, 1:30-3:00 CT/PT slot.

To make room, NBC moved "Days" to 1pm ET, 12 CT/PT and "The Doctors" to 2 ET, 1 CT/PT.

NBC moved "Hollywood Squares" to 12:30 ET, 11:30 CT/PT, and "Password Plus" to 12 ET, 11 CT/PT.

The only victim was "Jeopardy!" NBC finally hoped it had a hit at 12 ET, 11 CT/PT where CBS's "Young and the Restless" was still popular while ABC's "Pyramid" began to show some weakness.

The moves caused some scheduling problems for some affiliates. Some chose to tape delay "Days" so that it could air news at 1 ET, 12 CT/PT and bumped "The Doctors" off the schedule, or aired it and "World" later. Some others moved the local news to 12:30 ET/11:30 CT/PT and pre-empted NBC's game show there. NBC not having a half hour slot open to local news in the noon or 1pm half hour slot and the expansion of "World" hastened the demise of the once popular "Doctors" soaper by the end of 1982.

Some affiliates ran local news at noon, then ran in order "Days," "Doctors," and "Another" from 1:30-4:30 ET / 12:30-3:30 CT/PT on a tape delay.

On this date, ABC replaced the reruns of "Happy Days", which was moving to syndication the following fall, with reruns of "Laverne and Shirley" in the 11am ET, 10am CT/PT time slot. That would last just over a year.

1979/04/23-Changes

On this date, CBS canceled "The Match Game" due to low ratings and station affiliate clearances and moved the soaper "Love of Life" to the 4 ET, 3 CT/PT death slot. "Love of Life" would last through January of the following year.

CBS also added a new game show "Whew!" hosted by Tom Kennedy in the 10:30 ET, 9:30 CT/PT slot, followed by the five-minute CBS News.

CBS moved "The Price is Right" to the 11 ET, 10 CT/PT slot with the second half of the show taking over the half-hour once occupied by "Love of Life".

KNXT (now KCBS-TV) in Los Angeles, wanting to keep "Love of Life" as part of a soap opera block, aired "Love of Life" at 2:30pm PT, while airing CBS's reruns of "M*A*S*H" at 3pm PT. Some affiliates ran "Love of Life" earlier in the day on a day-behind basis such as 11am or 12pm if they carried the show. KFMB-TV in San Diego, after securing the syndication rights to "M*A*S*H" for the fall of 1979, aired local programming at 2:30pm, and tape delayed "M*A*S*H" to run at 4:30pm (pre-empting "Love of Life"). After "M*A*S*H" reruns left the CBS daytime schedule, "M*A*S*H" continued from syndication on KFMB in the same time slot. KFMB, like most other CBS affiliates, pre-empted "Love of Life", but in the fall of 1979, picked up reruns of "One Day at a Time" offered by CBS at 2:30pm PT (KNXT aired "One Day" at 3pm).

In another major network move related to soap operas, CBS makes a bold move to move the half-hour local window to 12 ET, but at the same time, have a half-hour local window at 12 CT/PT as well. How? Here's what they did.

CBS sent an advance feed of "The Young and The Restless" for affiliates to air at Noon or 1pm Eastern time, or 11am or NOON Central and Pacific times. The half hour window for local programming would air at either 11am, NOON, or 1pm depending on time zone.

The western CBS affiliates, not wishing to have their "Y&R" compete against then #1 soaper "All My Children" on ABC and "Days of Our Lives" on NBC, both airing at Noon, took the earlier feed of "Y&R" and aired that show at 11am, and kept their midday news at Noon.
