A local show beat the network scheduleSourced
ABC launched a national morning show.
One local station kept its own.
In Tulsa, Oklahoma, KTUL's John Chick Show was a popular live morning music program. After ABC launched Good Morning America in 1975, the affiliate kept Chick's show. ABC's president visited, called it a local phenomenon, and accepted the decision.
For that city,
local morning won.
