Retro: Spokane, WA - Saturday, January 11, 1986

[AKA]

Interesting. I had no idea KHQ used to delay Saturday Night Live an hour. Also, it looks like the three commercial networks' Saturday morning schedules are shuffled around a bit, and It's Punky Brewster is pre-empted completely (based on Wikipedia and the Montana NBC afiliate that's listed in the Spokesman-Review's "TV Preview," anyway), and replaced by Kidsworld.
