What was the checkerboard schedule for WBZ, WCVB and WNAC back then?

I'm sure channel 7 carried Hollywood Squares, Channel 4 carried the Nighttime Price is Right with Dennis James

Since I find this interesting and love to reminsce, this is according to a July 1975 New Hampshire TV Guide (game-show wise):

Ch 4 had "Price is Right" on Tuesdays and Wednesdays; "$25,000 Pyramid" on Thursdays and "Name That Tune" on Fridays

Ch 5 had "Let's Make a Deal" on Tuesdays and Wednesdays

Ch 7 had "Squares" on Mondays and Fridays; "Celebrity Sweepstakes" on Wednesdays

It's interesting that WBZ had "Price" on two nights a week, considering it was meant for once-a-week.  I don't have any other issues with Boston stations listed from this time period, so I don't know how long they did this for.

Is it necessary to have two threads of this?

Given this guy's history, I'm not sure it's necessary to have one thread of this.

I love seeing these, but it loses credibility with me when the source is not cited (and citing another website does NOT count).
