Per the discussion about 1960–1961 to 1979–80 schedules, as these articles have the same issues:

historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable. The operative word is, of course, "may" — and the case can be made that such historical significance needs to be verifiably demonstrated in reliable sources. As it is, however, these schedules are all undersourced at best even in terms of the information itself (and some are unsourced entirely, and for years at that). Yes, these schedules can be potentially interesting and/or useful… but that doesn't necessarily mean they should be on Wikipedia, nor does that exempt them from our sourcing policies. (I'll note as well that should these articles be deleted, the navbox {{ US TV schedule Saturday morning}} won't have much reason to exist.) -- WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 00:08, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
...such historical significance needs to be verifiably demonstrated in reliable sources...there are dozens of such sources listed/quoted in the Delrev for the last round of these AfDs. I don't want to spam this page with that long list of sources again, but there are scholarly works specifically discussing the historical significance of the scheduling of programming on Saturday mornings in the 1980s. For example, sources quoted in the delrev discuss the significance of Smurfs being on in the morning (and how that affected the development of news programs like Today). They contrast the lineups in the 1980s (filled with cartoons sponsored by toy companies selling toys) vs. the lineups at the same time in the 1990s (aimed at older children, tweens and teenagers, sponsored by clothing companies) vs. the lineups in the 21st century (tweens abandoned as a demographic because they don't watch TV on TV anymore, and instead focusing on adults).

, by page, or TV Guide, or local newspaper listings, or your source of choice... would that change your mind (or anyone else's)? I don't want to do the work if it's not going to matter in the end. But if it won't change your mind, then this isn't about lack of sources, right?Studying programmes closely as single texts also has the disadvantage of separating a programme from its place in the schedule of the day in which it was broadcast...Selecting individual programmes for study means extracting them from the flow of material of which they are a part, and which might have important effects on their meaning... While each programme or ad might be interesting to analyse in itself, more meanings relating to speed, pollution, road safety or masculine bravado might arise because of the connections between the programmes and ads in this television flow.- An Introduction to Television Studies, London: Routledge. The author is saying you cannot understand a television show without understanding its broadcasting context–the "flow"–what comes before, what comes after, and what is on at the same time. It's important that Tom & Jerry precedes Bugs Bunny. It's an example of pairing and lead-in.
This study investigated the effects of various programming strategies, commonly employed by the networks, on program popularity for children...Simple correlations supported the relationship between program popularity and the following programming strategies: counterprogramming by type, block programming by type, inheritance effects, starting time, program familiarity, and character familiarity.- "Programming Strategies and the Popularity of Television Programs for Children", Human Communication Research journal. The study factored in start time, counterprogramming (what else is on at the same time), and blocking (like, Might Mouse + Tom & Jerry + Bugs Bunny + Popeye).
