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
 * Sunrise Semester and Captain Kangaroo both left the weekday schedule on CBS on October 1, 1982. Captain Kangaroo moved to Saturday and Sunday mornings and reverted to a one-hour format.
 * Texas and The Doctors both ended their runs on NBC on December 31, 1982.

Saturday
In the News aired ten times during CBS' Saturday morning shows.
