I'm looking through a January 1983 edition of the esteemed "Guide," and one good thing about the L.A. edition is it includes some cable listings. This is what ESPN showed at 10:30am:
TENNIS The final of the Hartford (Conn.) Open, taped Dec.19.
December 19! I have nothing against tennis being on instead of the inane debate shows in the morning, but ESPN ran a two-week-old match in broad daylight. I think ESPN still shows football game reruns the same week as the original, but, man!
That's not even the worst of it, though, because directly preceding this at 9:30 was...
FIGURE SKATING The Ennia Cup competition taped Nov. 9-14 in the Netherlands.
November 9-14! ESPN aired an almost two-month-old event in that slot. How long before Denise Austin and Kiana Tom would provide something a little fresher?
