EDIT: I'm consolidating these schedule threads. This previously was posted as its own thread.
The Chicago TV schedule for Friday 7 December 1979. The source is the TV supplement in the 2 December 1979 edition of "Chicago Tribune".
The stations include affiliates of all four networks (NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS), plus independent stations.
Prime-time has an emphasis on films, including TV movies on CBS and ABC (the PBS station joined in the fun being showing a British TV movie), while indie station WGN-TV showed a theatrical film. NBC's prime-time line-up includes the short-lived series "Shirley" and "Eischied", along with the soon-to-end "The Rockford Files".
Daytime includes a strong soap line-up on CBS.
Sadly, some of the shows on the schedule are lost ("Wheel of Fortune", for example, had its tapes wiped until the mid-1980s).
