1971–72 United States network television schedule (daytime)

none December 2025 December 2025 March 2025 1971 The following is the 1971–72 daytime network television schedule for the three major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States. It covers the weekday and weekend daytime hours from September 1971 to August 1972. Legend #FFFF66 darkgray Light yellow indicates talk shows. #7fff00 darkgray Green indicates soap operas. #ffc0cb darkgray Pink indicates game shows. #ffd700 darkgray Gold indicates news and public affairs programming. #99ccff darkgray Light teal indicates sporting events. #ffffff darkgray White indicates local programming. #bf9fef darkgray Light purple indicates children's programming. #C0C0C0 darkgray Gray indicates encore programming (e.g., reruns of prime-time programming). New series are highlighted in bold. Schedule All times correspond to U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time scheduling (except for some live sports or events). Except where affiliates slot certain programs outside their network-dictated timeslots, subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian times. Local schedules may differ, as affiliates have the option to pre-empt or delay network programs. Such scheduling may be limited to preemptions caused by local or national breaking news or weather coverage (which may force stations to tape delay certain programs to other timeslots) and any major sports events scheduled to air in a weekday timeslot (mainly during major holidays). Stations may air shows at other times at their preference. ABC had a 6PM (ET)/5PM (CT) feed for their newscast, depending on stations' schedule Monday-Friday Network6:00 am6:30 am7:00 am7:30 am8:00 am8:30 am9:00 am9:30 am10:00 am10:30 am11:00 am11:30 amnoon12:30 pm1:00 pm1:30 pm2:00 pm2:30 pm3:00 pm3:30 pm4:00 pm4:30 pm5:00 pm5:30 pm6:00 pm6:30 pmABC FallLocal/syndicated programmingThat GirlBewitchedPasswordAll My ChildrenLet's Make a DealThe Newlywed GameThe Dating GameGeneral HospitalOne Life to LiveLove, American StyleLocal/syndicated programmingABC News SpringBewitchedPasswordSplit SecondCBS FallSunrise SemesterLocal/syndicated programmingCBS Morning NewsCaptain KangarooLocal/syndicated programmingThe Lucy ShowThe Beverly HillbilliesFamily AffairLove of LifeWhere the Heart Is CBS News (12:25)Search for TomorrowLocal/syndicated programmingAs the World TurnsLove is a Many Splendored ThingThe Guiding LightThe Secret StormThe Edge of NightGomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.Local/syndicated programmingCBS Evening News WinterMy Three Sons SpringThe Amateur's Guide to Love SummerThe Beverly HillbilliesMy Three SonsNBC FallLocal/syndicated programmingTodayLocal/syndicated programmingDinah's PlaceConcentrationSale of the CenturyThe Hollywood SquaresJeopardy!The Who, What, or Where Game NBC News (12:55)Local/syndicated programmingThree on a MatchDays of Our LivesThe DoctorsAnother WorldBright PromiseSomersetLocal/syndicated programmingNBC Nightly News SpringReturn to Peyton Place Saturday Network7:00 am7:30 am8:00 am8:30 am9:00 am9:30 am10:00 am10:30 am11:00 am11:30 amnoon12:30 pm1:00 pm1:30 pm2:00 pm2:30 pm3:00 pm3:30 pm4:00 pm4:30 pm5:00 pm5:30 pm6:00 pm6:30 pmABCLocal and/orsyndicatedprogrammingWill the Real Jerry Lewis Please Sit Down (R)The Road Runner ShowThe Funky PhantomThe Jackson 5iveBewitchedLidsvilleCuriosity ShopJonny QuestLancelot Link, Secret Chimp (R)American BandstandABC Sports and/or local programmingCBSLocal and/orsyndicatedprogrammingThe Bugs Bunny ShowScooby-Doo, Where Are You!
