I recall it happened in the spring of 1977 where I lived (eastern NC).

Even though TV audio was usually pretty crappy anyway in the small market where I lived, the change was quite noticeable to me.  Before the change, I could tell when the local affiliates were running network or local programming, even without looking at the TV.  Suddenly the network audio had high end that wasn't there before.
