When/where did it air in the U.S.?


I realize this likely varied by market, but I can't think of this show without picturing me coming home from Kindergarten (AM session circa '79/'80) and watching it while I ate lunch. But a weekday late AM timeslot doesn't seem right for a show of this type (though I vividly remember watching Scooby-Doo around the same time).

Does anyone know if this tended to air afternoons? Was it syndicated? Network? Saturday mornings?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi all!

Battle of the Planets was syndicated, so exactly when it aired depended upon the individual stations in each market. In my area, the series initially aired in the afternoons, but later moved to a morning timeslot.
