Members Paul Raven Posted January 2, 2008 Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 Below is the daytime schedule for April 1970. I chose this month as it marked the time wnen the most number of soaps were airing (19).The Best of Everything was cancelled a few months later. Hope some posters will find it interesting! 11.30-12.00 CBS Love of Life NBC Hollywood Squares ABC Bewitched 12.00-12.30 CBS Where The Heart Is NBC Jeopardy ABC The Best of Everything 12.30-1.00 CBS Search For Tomorrow NBC Who,What,Where Game ABC A World Apart 1.00-1.30 CBS Local NBC Local ABC All My Children 1.30-2.00 CBS As The World Turns NBC Life With Linkletter ABC Let's Make A Deal 2.00-2.30 CBS Love Is A Many Slendored Thing NBC Days of Our Lives ABC Newlywed Game 2.30-3.00 CBS The Guiding Light NBC The Doctors ABC The Dating Game 3.00-3.30 CBS The Secret Storm NBC Another World ABC General Hospital 3.30-4.00 CBS The Edge of Night NBC Bright Promise ABC One Life To Live 4.00-4.30 CBS Gomer Pyle NBC Somerset ABC Dark Shadows As a viewer,pre VCR,you would have to make some tough choices as to what to watch. At that time CBS offered 4 hours of soaps,NBC 2 1/2 hours and ABC 3 hours,so in that sense things haven't changed that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted January 2, 2008 Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 Well, that's certainly true....it's hard to imagine how little that has changed when going from 19 soaps to 8, until you remember that they were all 30 minutes in length back then. Thanks for posting this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
