The Kaiser stations were good for that. I certainly had the benefit of their CREATURE DOUBLE-FEATURE and 8 O'CLOCK MOVIE on their Boston station WKBG (though the Janus Films, pre-Criterion Collection PBS THEATER on WGBH had a higher batting average). The Lou Gordon Program, produced WKBD and seen on all the Kaiser stations (and syndicated nationally to other non-Kaiser markets) was the only truly networked show they floated, though the Kaiser stations also ran Della, Della Reese's weeknightly 90-minute chat/variety series, in 1969-70, which didn't continue due, all together now, to lack of clearance in the South.
