Locally, the station had a rivalry with WREC/WREG-TV over bragging rights for the largest movie library in the market. Through its ownership by RKO General, channel 13 had rights to the entire RKO Pictures film catalog. The station's reliance on classic and public domain films during the 1960s and 1970s was evidenced in its daily noon to 2 p.m. airing of the "Million Dollar Movie" (and later, the 9–11 a.m. airing of "Dialing for Dollars"), which the station ran instead of popular daytime soap operas "All My Children" and "Ryan's Hope", or in some cases, reruns of ABC prime time sitcoms that aired in the late morning hours. In September 1978, channel 13 finally began clearing the full ABC daytime lineup. However, for many years after that, its noon newscast resulted in "All My Children" being aired in a morning timeslot on a one-day delay.
