The 1980–81 daytime network television schedule for the three major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the weekday and weekend daytime hours from September 1980 to August 1981. Legend New series are highlighted in bold. Schedule All times correspond to U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time scheduling (except for some live sports or events). Except where affiliates slot certain programs outside their network-dictated timeslots, subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian times. Local schedules may differ, as affiliates have the option to pre-empt or delay network programs. Such scheduling may be limited to preemptions caused by local or national breaking news or weather coverage (which may force stations to tape delay certain programs to other timeslots) and any major sports events scheduled to air in a weekday timeslot (mainly during major holidays). Stations may air shows at other times at their preference. Monday–Friday Notes ABC had a 6PM (ET)/5PM (CT) feed for World News Tonight, depending on stations' schedule. Saturday In the News aired ten times during CBS' Saturday morning shows. Ask NBC News aired after the credits of NBC's Saturday morning shows except Batman and the Super 7, Jonny Quest, and Drawing Power. Time Out aired after Jonny Quest.
