ABC clearly didn't have enough new material when the 1978-9 season began, such that they were running vintage reruns of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? (acquired from CBS) at the start of the season. A month in, the network shuffled the deck, and bumped the older Scooby reruns.
As the following ad, narrated by Dick Tufeld, explains, Challenge of the Super Friends was expanded to 90 minutes to include episodes from the previous season's All-New Super Friends Hour. With Scooby's All-Stars (formerly Scooby's All-Star Laff-a-Lympics) reduced to 90 minutes from its original 2 hour format, well.....
Maybe I was misremembering things, but I always thought Challenge led off. Anyway, the listed air time (7 am) is for the Central time zone.
