River City Wrestling #102
Winnipeg Convention Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Tonight we have a tag team extravaganza, with four tag team matches scheduled for the show. The main event will feature the fallout from last week's main event, as RCW champion The Destroyer teams up with Ray Stevens, to take on the duo of Greg Valentine and Pat Patterson. If Patterson and Valentine win that match then Valentine will be granted another title shot at the Destroyer.

Jeannie Rahib & Tanya Tataryn defeated the England Sisters by disqualification for outside interference at 6:24 when Rahib was attacked by a newcomer (Judy Martin).
The Cuban Assassin and The Iranian Assassin defeated Buddy Lane and Kerry Brown when The Cuban pinned Brown after a powerslam in 0:05:58.

**after the match, angered by the loss Brown turned on his partner Lane
RCW matchmaker Marty Goldstein comes to the ring. He calls out Chris Lyon and Mike Valiant. While they both come down to the ring to a chorus of boos, the two former friends can barely stand to look at each other. That point is not lost to Goldstein, however he asks them to put aside their differences for a bit. He says that the current tag champions the Roughnecks (the fans cheer) do not have a very long list of potential opponents at this time. Goldstein says that because Lyon vacated the belts, they never lost them, and if they were willing to give it another try he would grant them a title shot tonight. Valiant is the first to say to Goldstein that he'll do it if Lyon does, to which Lyon just nods. Goldstein wishes them well.
The Roughnecks defeated Mike Valiant and Chris Lyon when Stan defeated Lyon by countout in 0:11:57.
[The Roughnecks retained the RCW Tag Team Championships.]
Post-Match:
Lyon was counted out after being busted open and devastated by Stan Rodgers.
Mike Valiant went to pay his respects to Chris Lyon, but his former friend just pushed him away and left for the back alone.

If Valentine & Patterson win, then Valentine will receive a title shot at the Destroyer next week

NHL on AbazaTV Schedule 2011-2012

With the excitement surrounding the NHL returning to Winnipeg, Abaza's sister city, NHL on AbazaTV will be expanded this year. The following (very) tentative schedule has 177 regular season games. Where there is a time conflict between games, a broadcast will be shown on a delayed basis (taped).

For a couple of years now AbazaTV has been paying tribute to the nostalgic and often forgotten NHL on CTV, which was an attempt by the Carling O'Keefe brewery family to break into the NHL broadcast game and try and get some of what was a monopoly at the time for CBC and Molson's. Read more about it at this wikipedia page.
I remember getting to see these teams, especially the eastern seaboard teams like Hartford, Washington, and New Jersey, as well as Quebec which you seldom saw back in the pre-cable (TSN) days. One thing I vividly remember was some of the very dark arenas that the games were broadcast from. So, in tribute AbazaTV chose the game with the least exposure to broadcast on Friday nights; 7:00pm est games from Souteast division cities, or New Jersey if possible. There is actually an entire pecking order of deciding factors including start time preference for 6:00pm CST, not a Canadian visiting team, and a list of secondary hosts like Pittsburgh, Columbus, Chicago, NY Islanders, and Buffalo.

But with the addition of Winnipeg to the schedule this year the new team's games take first preference. Then the Carling O'Keefe game of the week, then the Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts, and then the occasional other game tossed into the mix. Saturday afternoons I can remember there being broadcast back in the 70's some

2nd Anniversary of Abaza TV


Tomorrow, June 24th marks the 2nd Anniversary of Abaza TV going live on the air. To mark the occasion we will be changing our programming somewhat over the next couple of weeks.

Instead of your regular slotted programs in time slots such as weekday afternoons and Saturday mornings, as well as our free for all time slots such as weekday mornings, we will be presenting the best of and worst of the past 2 years of Abaza TV.

Starting with the first day on air we will rebroadcast the highlites and lowlites, but will continue to mix in new product offerings each day. The rebroadcasts will work their way through the past 2 years chronologically.

This change in programming will likely last for the next 2 weeks, and 3 weekends, so should wrap up mid-July.

We hope you enjoy as much as we have enjoyed bringing you 2 years of Abaza TV.

TV Rewind 1.03 - 1981 - 82

What would Abaza TV's lineup have looked like in 1980-81?



Network points awarded 1 for each hour on the schedule, 1/2 point for a half hour show.
Bold is the pick of the night bringing the network a bonus of 1 point regardless of length of show. Sports programs are not eligible to be the pick of the night.
After feedback from episode #1, 1979-80, I've decided to no longer allow time shift or day shift. All programs will only be available in their fall lineup spot or their replacement winter spot. So some split hours will happen where a sit-com will take the first half hour, then a drama will be joined in progress (if that's how I would have watched it).

TV Rewind 1.02 - 1980-81

What would Abaza TV's lineup have looked like in 1980-81?

Network points awarded 1 for each hour on the schedule, 1/2 point for a half hour show.
Bold is the pick of the night bringing the network a bonus of 1 point regardless of length of show. Sports programs are not eligible to be the pick of the night.
After feedback from episode #1, 1979-80, I've decided to no longer allow time shift or day shift. All programs will only be available in their fall lineup spot or their replacement winter spot. So some split hours will happen where a sit-com will take the first half hour, then a drama will be joined in progress (if that's how I would have watched it).

After two years CBS holds a slight advantage over ABC, and NBC is far behind.

This year had some interesting battles as ABC's sit-com blocks of pairing an established sit-com with a new one was pitted against CBS's dramas. ABC swept Tuesday night, while NBC's one island seems to be Wednesday night where they swept.
