still keeping my admission ticket and a handful of cue cards (the coffeecup theater intro) from the final morning show for posterity. it would have been for ebay, but I don't think anybody'd pay enough to cover the shipping

As someone noted in the Twitter replies, this is the Canadian version of TV Guide (which had been spun off as a separate publication from the American magazine in 1977). Based on a quick search, Letterman didn't make it to the cover of American TV Guide until 1992, when he shared it with Dana Carvey for a cover story speculating on the future of late-night TV.

People on the tweetybox are wondering about the other tease on the cover, "NHL Announcers: Muzzled at the Mike?"

Now, from experience watching/listening to games back then, they didn't get a whale of a lot of information (see what I did there?) back then from the teams, which in nearly every case had to approve their hiring by the TV entities. It's not like today where with all the (legal) betting on the games, all information is important.     B
