1988/10/02-Eastern; for Central and Pacific, subtract one hour

On this date, ABC brings back reruns of "Growing Pains" to the 11 ET, 10 CT/PT slot, and contracts "Home" back to 30 minutes after it.

Due to declining ratings and affiliate clearances, ABC cancels "Ryan's Hope" as the 12 ET, 11 CT/PT slot had become more bothersome for affiliate clearances for network shows as of late. Some CBS stations in the Central and Pacific time zones scheduled "Young and the Restless" at 11am in those zones, which spelled problems for anything ABC and NBC placed during that time range.
