On what date was the movie "Rollerball", starring James Caan, first
broadcast on television?  It would have to be after 1975, which is
when the movie was first released. It would also most likely have been
broadcast on the ABC network, since a promo for it appeared on "The
Wide World of Sports."

A listing for the TV premiere appeared in the NY Times:

-----
NY Times
February 9, 1977
pg 53


9:00 (2) MOVIE: Rollerball (1975)...Long on sci-fi effects, short on
subsstance (2 hrs, 35 mins) (Television Premiere) (Network advises
that the program deals with a mature theme).

Hah!  They call that mature!?!?


By the way, channel 2 in NYC is CBS not ABC.
