1973–74 United States network television schedule (daytime)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1973–74 daytime network television schedule for the three major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the weekday and weekend daytime hours from September 1973 to August 1974. All times are Eastern and Pacific. By 1974, the networks in the Pacific Time Zone would shift to a Central Time Zone schedule altogether.

Talk shows are highlighted in yellow, local programming is white, reruns of older programming are orange, game shows are pink, soap operas are chartreuse, news programs are gold, children's programs are light purple and sports programs are light blue. New series are highlighted in bold.

PBS, the Public Broadcasting Service, was in operation, but the schedule was set by each local station.
