[QuadList] Local out of pattern Prime time (Was NBC Burbank: Au Revior--Historical tidbits...)

[Ted Langdell]

I'd forgotten about KRON-TV doing that.

Must have kept the promotion department and editors really busy trying to get people steered to the right time for programs.

We recorded the primary copy on 1" using 2x90minute reels,our first backup was 3 hour-long betas, and the alternate backup was an automated system using SVHS that automatically recorded and played back programming. If the evening was "normal," playback was fairly straightforward.  Things got complicated if there was some variation between east and west coast programming, or network news broke in to east coast programming.  Then, we'd need to record & turn around the mountain feed.
