Actually, as far as the Dallas-Fort Worth market goes, the station on the list for them (K31GL) is the one that Retro TV has already been on in DFW, so that one must be a continuation/renewal. It would be nice if the agreement there included a signal strength increase and a must-carry requirement aimed at Time Warner Cable, but something tells me that would be a massive miracle at this rate. Hope the ~78 million households / 68% of the US figure mentioned is something of a boost for viewing potential for The Doctors.
List of stations/markets involved:
- New York - WKOB
- Chicago - W25DW
- Dallas-Ft. Worth - K31GL
- Atlanta - WYGA
- Houston - KUVM
- Phoenix - KTVP
- Tampa-St. Petersburg - W15CM
- Seattle-Tacoma - KUSE
- Denver - K05MD
- Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto - KBTV
- Austin - KVAT
- Oklahoma City - KTOU
- Amarillo - K16HB / K51JN
At least Luken admits an 'overwhelming response' (whatever that entails) to the addition of The Doctors; too bad so far that that hasn't been enough for the pre-empting affiliates to change their minds and start showing both airings of the show.
Now that I've had to move farther from the K31GL tower, and have no way to put up an antenna where I live now, I am reduced to seeing the (hopefully continuing) archived vids for now.

From the 1984 book Inside the Soaps by Paul Denis:
Often, actors who are "heavy" on a soap (being used three or four times a week) become so confused learning and then forgetting their lines, that they get foggy even away from the TV studio. Jason Bonderoff, editor of Daytime TV magazine, recalls the story about David O'Brien (who played Dr. Steve Aldrich on The Doctors) walking down Eighth Avenue in New York and being stopped by a stranger. The stranger cornered him, held him and complained, "Hey, David, don't you remember me?" David couldn't remember him at all. The "stranger" was his agent!!
That's pretty foggy If you can't even remember your own agent!

And, if you look closely, the 2nd yellow story headline down on the left, has an article about the other Carolee, Jada Rowland, while she was on Secret Storm.
