The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970): 15 Weird Facts You Didn't Know

Remember when Mary Tyler Moore walked into a Minneapolis newsroom and changed everything about television? From 1970 to 1977 on CBS, The Mary Tyler Moore Show turned WJM-TV into the workplace we all secretly wanted to join � even with Ted Baxter reading the news and Lou Grant on his third scotch by noon. With legendary performances from Mary Tyler Moore, Ed Asner, Valerie Harper, Ted Knight, Cloris Leachman, Gavin MacLeod, and Betty White, the show delivered seven seasons of laughs, tears, and newsroom chaos that still holds up.

Did WJM have a 10 p.m. newscast

One has to first assume that it would be at 10 p.m. if since the station is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the Central Time Zone. Unless, I'm missing something, did WJM on The Mary Tyler Moore Show only really have a 6 p.m. newscast? If that's the case, was it simply because they were the lowest-rated station in town and as a small station, didn’t have a lot of staff?
