I lived in Seattle at the time "Turn On" had its first and only showing. Back then a station could request a preview be sent on the network by land line for viewing. These came during late afternoon when ABC would not be feeding programs to the local City. Feeds to Seattle would come from KABC in Los Angeles. When KOMO looked at the preview they said they would not show it. Instead they would showed the local show "Viewpoint" instead at its new time. This talked about local issues. The next day I read in my local paper the "Seattle Times" that it had been canceled and ABC had a movie the next week hoping that local stations that had signed contracts for a replacement show that was not going to carry "Turn On" would carry the replacement. I never heard that it was canceled after 10 to 12 minutes and some viewers said with a "Please Stand by" or "Technical Difficulties". Back then networks would feed by land line out of New York to all times zone except the Pacific for the first feed and three hours later another feed would come out of LA for the Pacific time zone. Some stations in the Mountain time zone might record the feed for later showing that night. It was broadcast on Wednesday night at 8:30 PM EST/PST. If stations in the Mountain time zone thought 6:30 was too early for the adult program might hold it for 9:00 or 9:30 PM when children would more likely be in bed. Perhpaps it was the Pacific time zone feed that got it canceled after 10 minutes because many complaints would have been phoned in to the network in New York earlier and more might have come into LA later. Long distance was more expensive back then for long distances but if you were only 25 miles away it might be local or at most 25 cents for three minutes. In Alaska and Hawaii everything was a week or two later.
