Re: Retro: Boston - Monday July 4, 1966
I had thought that the old WHDH-5 has occasional broadcast Red Sox home games in color as far
back as 1960, and had done all the televised home games in color during 1966.
Also, I thought the "CBS Evening News" had been colorcast since January of that year.
Except for a segment on "Captain Kangaroo", "Dateline Boston", and the baseball games, you'd
hardly know it was July 4th. No special concerts of parades on TV.

WHDH started regular colorcasts from Fenway Park the following season. There may have been a
few games in color but it wasn't consistent.
CBS Evening News was in color - it's marked correctly on the WHDH listing but for some reason I
missed it on the WPRO listing.
The Boston Pops concert on the Esplinade didn't become a big event until the Bicentennial, so
I'm not surprised that it wasn't shown on TV.

The concert as we now know it didn't begin until 1974, and the final portion of the 1976 concert
was broadcast as part of CBS's (and maybe ABC's and NBC's as well) coverage of Bicentennial
Day.
I believe that prior to 1974, the Pops did an outdoor matinee concert at the Hatch Shell on July
4th.

Red Sox TV Network In The Sixties (Was: Re: Retro: Boston - Monday July 4, 1966)
If my memory serves me correct (I'm thinking back to an old list of Boston Red Sox TV affiliates
from a mid-1960's Sox yearbook I no longer have), only one CBS-TV affiliate in New England (the
old WTIC-3 Hartford) wasn't part of the Sox' TV set-up during this era and that only three of the
Red Sox affiliates weren't CBS stations.
As Maureen Carney pointed out earlier in this thread, the old WNHC-8 New Haven was one; I
think NBC affiliate WWLP-22 Springfield was the other (then, Springfield got CBS from the then-
WTIC-3 Hartford; also, WWLP had a full-power satellite station in Greenfield, WRLP-32, and a
translator further north in the Connecticut Valley).
Thus, I suspect this would be the Red Sox TV network lineup in the mid-1960's:
* WHDH-5 Boston (flagship)
* WPRO-12 Providence
* WNHC-8 New Haven
* WWLP-22 Springfield
* WRLP-32 Greenfield
* WCAX-3 Burlington
* WGAN-13 Portland
* WABI-5 Bangor
* WAGM-8 Presque Isle.
(I'm not sure, but didn't WAGM get network programs of-air from Bangor?? If they did, WAGM
got the Red Sox because games would pre-empt the regular CBS fare on WABI; while WAGM was
affiliated with all three networks, I think they took more shows from CBS then from ABC or NBC).
Retro - This Week in TV Guide, June 28, 1975 - MSP Edition
This week I take a look at how TV had changed between the 50s and 60s and the mid 70s. For
example, many of our favorite classic series were just everyday syndicated shows in 1975, and
the feature film was a staple of local broadcasts. Also, it's the eve of the year-long Bicentennial
celebration, and Tom Snyder's Tomorrow show takes to the airwaves for a live 6-hour broadcast;
and whatever happened to that anti-violence campaign?

Re: Retro - This Week in TV Guide, June 28, 1975 - MSP Edition
Oral Roberts on 11, a Metromedia Station on a weeknight????? UNUSUAL!!!!! Metromedia was

big with first run Metromedia produced syndicated shows or local productions in prime time..
MY GUESS???? A ONE TIME SPECIAL!!! Oral Roberts did have occasional prime time specials
when he would buy time on stations across the country.
As for my local Metormedia station WNYW FOX 5, then WNEW TV - they were big with cartoons
6:30 to 9 a.m., classic sitcoms 9 a.m. to Noon, local shows like Midday from 12 noon or so till
about 1:30, a couple more older sitcoms till 2:30, cartoons 2:30 to 5 or 5:30 p.m., sitcoms till 8
p.m., Merv Griffin and a game show in prime time and eventually PM Magazine at 8 p.m., local
news at 10 p.m., a couple sictoms till midnight, and drama shows overnights, and maybe a very
old movie - pre 1960. Saturdays till 1976 were westerns, drama shows, and very old movies from
the 30's, 40's, and 50's. In the late 70's, WNEW TV ran cartoons from 6:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., then
Soul Train, then an old movie, then some sitcoms from 2 to 5 p.m., and then a mix of drama
shows and old movies. Sundays Channel 5 ran a local kids show called Wonderama which ran a
couple Bugs Bunny/Porky Pig/Dafy Duck cartoons an hour from 8-11, a double run of
Flintstones at 11, and then old movies the rest of the day. After 1976, Wonderama was scaled
back to 7-9 a.m. and cartoons and sictosm ran till noon with old movies occupying the rest of the
day and some drama shows in the evening. Sometimes a drama show would land on weekdays
in the late morning or early fringe but these occupied weekend slots mostly.
Channel 5 ran NO religion except for a black church sevrice till 1977 at like 6:30 a.m., after which
that was gone. Then in 1980 when Wonderama was canceled and another show with that title
which was more of a documentary hour long show moved to Sunday at 9 a.m., Channel 5 began
running religion Sundays 5 to 9 a.m. I remember they ran Robert Schuller at 5, Kenneth
Copeland at 6, Jerry Falwell at 7, and Jimmy Swaggart at 8. By the early 80's Saturday cartoons
were gone some times of the year. Sunday Cartoons tended to run 9-11 a.m. in the fall. The rest
of the year by 1983, WNEW TV was into drama shows till 1 p.m. and then movies from before
1960. Weekdays some older sitcoms fell of for newer ones plus more first run syndicated shows
ran afternoon before 2 p.m.
Then Fox buys the company and evolves Channel 5 to more first run shows and more local news,

Great stuf, Marckd! And yes, as you might have suspected, the Oral Roberts program on 11 was
a special. As the lone independent in the region they were prone to be the outlet for Oral
Roberts and Billy Graham specials, although I think each of the four commercial stations had
them at one time or another. I'd have to look and see if Roberts' weekly series was carried on 11
or on one of the other stations.
That Friday (July 4th), CBS-TV began airing "Bicentennial Minutes", short tidbits on America,
American History, and the Bicentennial that would air each evening (usually) at 8:58 P.M. ET/PT
for the year leading up to July 4th, 1976.
"Bicentennial Minutes" ran up to December 31, 1976, with outgoing President Ford hosting the
last one.

Re: Retro: Charleston, SC (7/3/95)
Ah, the days when morning news didn't start until 6AM! And at this time, all 3 stations were in
talk shows at 5PM - I think WCBD was the 1st to start a 5:00 newscast.

The telenovela that starred Erik Estrada. It was so popular that it had to be extended beyond the
original end date and rerun a number of times.
When did Boston Pops begin on CBS? Now that it's not being carried nationwide, I remember
that it was on every year for several years in the 2000s.
And for local fireworks shows, there's barely NOTHING on this listing! Nothing in Providence, not
even WMUR simulcasted WCVB's fireworks!

Re: Retro: Manitoba/NW Ontario Mon, July 5, 1971
I'm guessing that by 1971, CBWT had no split feed with its transmitters in Northwestern Ontario?
Listings I once saw from the 1960s showed CBWAT Kenora having a somewhat diferent schedule
than CBWT; it appeared they carried some CBC Toronto programs such as Provincial Afairs.

WDSE and KFME did carry "Sesame Street" at the time, but in the afternoon.

Also, even though there were already two ABC affiliates listed, I wonder why WDIO/WIRT wasn't
also included (especially since it was the only Twin Ports outlet to have an Iron Range satellite
station, as opposed to just translators).
KTHI was cablecast in both Winnipeg and Kenora (the Tribune listed cable positions for both
cities, as well as a full listing of CBWT relays), KCND was a border-blaster channel (Pembina is just
over the border from Emerson in Southern Manitoba).
Got the two channels mixed up ...ch 12 was in both cities on cable, with 11 also available in
Winnipeg. Also Kenora took their NBC from WDAZ's sister station in Fargo, WDAY 6.
Anyone know the source of "CESM 4 Cable Thompson?" It's clearly an ABC feed, but most of the
day is ofset a half hour, and all of the news, even the network news is missing. Was it a tape
delay sort of operation?
My guess with the Thompson cable channels is that it was a similar situation to how the Bangor
stations were fed to Maritime cablecos in the early 70s...tape OTA in one location (I'm guessing
Winnipeg in this case) and bicycle the tape...though based on the listings, Thompson seems to
be the only area in the province with that set-up.
Yellowknife used to have such a cable channel, but it relayed CTV (probably CFRN Edmonton) on
delay.

Was this during the start of KOCR's "whatever they can get at the video store" stage, or didn't
that come until later?
By the looks of things, KOCR had a solid schedule -- hard to realise that a year later, they would
go down in blazes.

I can't answer your questions. This is an edition I picked up on vacation. Sorry.

KJMH lost its Fox affiliation at some point later on and was an independent. I used to get the
Western Illinois Edition of TV Guide, which also carried listings for KJMH. The station just
disappeared in TV Guide sometime after the Fox affiliation was gone. I never knew if the station
went dark or if TV Guide just dropped them. Sometime later, the station was purchased by the
company that owns Channel 18 in the Quad Cities. I believe 18 was simulcast on 26 for a time,
and then 26 became a WB affiliate at some point.

I've always wondered this about KJMH (pre-KLJB repeater days)--had it not been for first-
adjacent WQEC-27 (PBS) in Quincy, and if KJMH had the financial backing to upgrade/move to a
diferent channel, could a case had been made to turn KJMH into a drop-in, de facto Fox affiliate
for the Quincy/Hannibal market (with a tower either in Lee County, IA or northern Hancock
County, IL)? This is despite the fiasco of the ill-fated KTVO-3 efort to enter the Quincy market
with its 2000-ft. tower (which collapsed June 2, 1988). Sometimes I have wondered if that could
have been part of the intention of channel 26's owners of having two Fox affiliates in the Quad
Cities market (even though KLJB-18 briefly lost its Fox affiliation during 1988-90).

Where's all that horrible programming that KOCR aired? I thought at this time, not only were
they renting VHS tapes for broadcast - illegally; but they also aired many programs with "of-key"
commercial breaks (I thought one guy said "Crazy Like a Fox" aired on KOCR in July one year with
December holiday ads in it). They also had absolutely no ads on air - maybe one advertiser, and
promos. Today's Fox on 28 in Cedar Rapids is a heck of a lot better!

KJMH's problem is that it really didn't cover anything but Burlington (it was on the KGRS tower),
and there just wasn't enough population to make it viable. Before the move to Aledo, there was
an LPTV in the Quad Cities on 26.
KJMH definitely would have needed to change channels to make a move to Quincy. There were
vacant noncommercial allotments in Ft. Madison and Keokuk which might have been
possibilities for a channel swap. I heard secondhand that KTVO had made an ofer on the station
in the early 90's.

No Jeopardy in Des Moines in Sept. 1993? ??? Although wasn't there a period (before this
schedule) that J! and WOF aired on two separate Central Iowa stations--J! on KCCI and WOF on
WHO (or vice-versa)? I recall seeing old Des Moines schedules from 1990 in which this practice
occurred.

My recollection is that in the late 80''s Jeopardy was on WOI at an early slot (maybe 4:30) and
Wheel aired on KCCI at 6:30. This would have been back when WOI ran local news at 5 and
M*A*S*H at 6. I think Wheel may have aired on WHO earlier in the decade.
Any listings for PBS?

That would have been rather interesting if KTVO's ofer on KJMH had been successful (at that
time KTVO had been a few years removed from their 2000 ft. tower collapse), the channel
moved from 26 to one of the vacant Ft. Madison/Keokuk allotments (or even a new station), and
became an repeater for primarily the Illinois side of the Quincy/Hannibal market. A new tower
could have been built in ground conductivity-rich Hancock County, IL (between Carthage and
Dallas City), and would have filled most of the then-ABC white area in western Illinois
particularly in an area bordered roughly by Quincy/Macomb/Pittsfield/Beardstown/Jacksonville
(which at the time lacked Grade B-level reception of ABC alternatives such former affiliate WAND
Decatur, KTVO, WHOI Peoria, KTVI/KDNL St. Louis, and WQAD Moline).
In fact, there were some cable systems in parts of Adams, Brown, and Pike counties in Illinois
that were only able to rely on national ABC feeds pre-KHQA 7.2 (including WKRN Nashville and
WABC). And although not listed in this edition (but is receptible from Burlington southward),
Quincy NBC affiliate WGEM-10 was still carrying "All My Children" on a three-hour tape delay
during Sept. 1993.

Given the costs of building new transmitting facilities and getting the channel moved, I suspect
even free as a price for KJMH may have been too much. Certainly more value as a potential
move-in for the Quad Cities.
When you start looking at the small market stations that signed on in the 50's and 60's that
served very rural areas, KTVO really was fortunate. Being on VHF certainly played a large part of
it. I doubt if they had signed on as a UHF station in 1955, they would have survived as a stand
alone station. Chances are, they would have either been a repeater for a station in a nearby
market or gone dark and been forgotten (like WJJY).

Well then, I'll go with both July 1995 and September 1996.
Because I really wanted to know when Ronin Warriors aired in Des Moines
and when Samurai Pizza Cats aired in Des Moines.

okay i will give you those listings soon but since im tired to write it all out right now i'll tell u the
network n times of ur shows that u want
RONNIN WARRIORS AIRED WEEKDAYS AT 6AM ON FOX 15 IN OTTUMWA IOWA BUT WAS NOT
AIRED IN DES MOINES. IT SAID THE DEBUT EPISODE WAS IN JUNE 1995.
SEPT. 1996 - SAMURAI PIZZA CATS AIRED WEEKDAYS AT 6:30AM ON FOX 18 (QUAD CITIES)
JAN. 1997 TV GUIDE - SAMURAI PIZZA CATS AIRED WEEKDAYS AT 5:30AM ON KDSM FOX 17 IN
DES MOINES IA. NOT EXACTLY SURE WHEN IT CAME ON FOX 17 BUT THE SERIES ITSELF WAS IN
TV GUIDE LISTINGS AS SEPT. 1996.
For Fox 15 in Ottumwa, IA, the call letters were "KYOU"
and for Fox 18 in Quad Cities, the call letters were "KLJB"
right?
However, in Burlington, IA, Fox 26 "KJMH" (now CW 26 "KGCW") was a satellite of KLJB, so thus,
Samurai Pizza Cats, aired on KJMH (which was a satellite of KLJB from 1996 until 2001) every
weekday at 6:30 am as well, right?

The call letters are right and for 26 being the same as channel 18 is true after some time airing
their own schedule it switched to air the same programming as channel 18

And IPTV (PBS) on all three days?
WOI and KDSM seemed to sign of at night during this time WOI plenty early as well (12:30AM
CT)!
-crainbebo
I live in the DSM metro and it was only within the last year or two that WOI began overnight
programming.
The same thing with WOI's sister station down the way in the Quad Cities region, with WHBF
only now recently broadcasting overnights.

prime-time, Jackie Kennedy's sister moves to acting, NET is set to become PBS, summer
replacements, and the Golden Globes - all this week.

I don't think CBC stations usually showed regular-season NHL games on nights other than
Saturdays.
However, October 10th, 1979 was Opening Night of the 1979/80 NHL season for many teams, so
CBC decided to broadcast a special midweek edition of "Hockey Night In Canada" which (in at
least Ontario and likely points East) featured Toronto hosting the New York Rangers (the latter
was a Stanley Cup Finalist the previous year).
While defending champion Montreal would not open their season until the next night (October
11th; did CBC carry that game nationally or regionally??), that night also marked the first games
in the NHL for two former World Hockey Association teams (the Quebec Nordiques and the
original Winnipeg Jets), and it's possible (but don't know for sure) that "HNIC" may have
regionally carried Quebec's opener against the old Atlanta Flames in Quebec and Winnipeg's
opener in Pittsburgh at least in Manitoba and maybe points west.
Although I suspect WKBD-50 probably carried only away games of the Red Wings during the
regular season back then, I would not be surprised if their 1979/80 home opener against
Philadelphia on October 20th was also telecast by WKBD, given that it was the first game played
at Joe Louis Arena.

So 4 years later, here's the answer...
They, as was typical still in 1979, aired various programs in the 7:30 time slot. It appears from
looking at other days, it was quite varied between game shows and local programs.

Actually, it does not appear so. It appears TV Guide had a misprint that night due to the CBS
special at 11:30. The listing for Switch at midnight says to see channel 3 at 11:30 and the listing
for Hawaii Five-O says to see channel 3 at 12:40. That's the same as what is listed on other nights

In the 50's John Daly did all of the feeds live (no tape). Did Ron Cochran do the same (although
there was tape, I wonder about the taping facilities at ABC, even at this late stage)? And what
about the west coast? At this point did they tape a feed for the west?
Oh, I think when Wagon Train expanded to 90 minutes and moved to ABC, it also was in color
(being one of the very few series in color on ABC at the time). True?
Joe
That was true. "Wagon Train" was in color when it moved to ABC in '63. ABC was a late bloomer
for color. But eventually, once it did make the switch to all-color in '66, it blossomed.

Re: Retro: 50 Years Ago--Fall 1963
I can only assume that Cochran was live at 6 PM, and that whether
or not the subsequent feeds were live or tape depended on breaking
news or some sort of technical glitch (as sometimes happened in the
Smith/Reasoner era; the 6 PM feed often had to be done over at
6:30). I feel pretty sure that, by this time, Cochran's newscast was
taped for the West Coast, since it would have looked pretty ridiculous
to have him on live at 3 PM (PT). Besides, "Queen For A Day," "Who
Do You Trust?" and "Trailmaster" aired from 3-5 PM (PT).

Amazing how "forgettable" the names of ABC's news presenters from this era are: Murphy
Martin. Ron Cochrane.
Arrest and Trial difered from Law & Order in an important way: Chuck Connors was a defense
attorney. Ben Gazzara arrested them; Connors got them of.
NBC Saturday morning education show "Exploring" (now it would qualify as e/i) was hosted by Al
Hibbs, a PhD and faculty member at Cal Tech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. So account say his old
office is now occupied by one Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
The Gary Moore Show featured Carol Burnett, who went straight to The Carol Burnett Show, too.
This was the first season of Petticoat Junction, when the show was still a rif on the old traveling
salesman jokes (and the hotel was filled with traveling salesmen as guests). The three daughters
still had distinct personalities (slut, nerd and tom-boy). Many of the stories revolved around the
railroad trying to shut down the Hooterville Cannonball. When it moved to Saturday night, two
of the three daughters and been recast, all turned into goody two-shoes, music was added and it
became a show your grandmother would watch. (Not a full re-boot but close.)
At this point, Bill Cullen hosted the Price Is Right. Bob Barker was hosting Truth or Consequences
on NBC daytime (and many people still did not spay or neuter their pets).
ABC's Jimmy Dean Show featured an early network appearance by a Muppet (Rolf).
Jack Parr had left the Tonight Show to do this Friday night prime time show. When you see clips
of Parr or his interviews supposedly from the Tonight Show, most are really from this show (two
chairs, no desk). The show lasted two years and Parr mostly disappeared. Steve Allen moved to
prime time earlier and did not last much longer. Maybe that's why Johnny Carson decided not to
move "up" to doing a prime time show.
Harry's Girls was a TV version of Les Girls, which starred Gene Kelly in the Larry Blyden role. This
season, Kelly played the Bing Crosby role in Going My Way.
Hootenanny was a series of folk concerts taped on college campuses. The network refused to
allow performers who had been blacklisted a decade earlier to appear and many of the top folk
acts boycotted the show.
As part of his production deal for The New Phil Silvers Show, the network brought another
sitcom from his companies about these castaways who take a three hour boat tour ... well, you
know.
The CBS Morning News was Mike Wallace's first regular assignment for CBS News after doing
cigarette commercials and hosting a rigged quiz show. It was straight news for housewives,
replacing an early Today-like show for housewives hosted by Harry Reasoner. Except for O&Os,
not many CBS affiliates carried it, doing syndicated re-runs or local "Happy Homemaker" shows
instead.
Judy Garland's show was efectively sabotaged by CBS programming chief James Aubry ("the
smiling cobra), with show being repeatedly re-booted with producers and writers fired. Shortly
after this, Aubry was fired.
This version of the Jackie Gleason Show was called "The American Scene Magazine" and did not
include The Honeymooners. Instead the leading sketch each week was Joe the Bartender, with
the addition of Frank Fontane as "Crazy Guggenheim." Crazy what we would now call
"cognitively impaired" or "learning disabled" but then broke into song with a beautiful voice
(same act as Gomer Pyle).
The Magic Land of Allakazan: Local magic show picked by the network. The assistant was really
hot: Nani Darnell, occasionally referenced on "Night Court."
The Jerry Lewis show did not last. The theater ABC bought and refurbished for the show became
The Hollywood Palace. Also used at various times for Lawrence Welk and other shows.

A few comments:
Dorothy Loudon had replaced Carol Burnett on "The Garry Moore Show"
by this time. This was the year that Garry, noticing his softer ratings,
told Jim Aubrey he had an idea for a retooling of the show. Aubrey's
response: "Not a chance." Garry quit his variety show (which was revived
briefly in 1966 but died against "Bonanza" and the ABC Sunday Night Movie,
to be replaced by "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour") and "I've Got A
Secret." Steve Allen replaced him as host of "Secret."
It was also the year Aubrey told Jack Benny, "you're through." Benny returned
to NBC in the fall of '64, did his weekly show for one more season, then did specials
until he passed away in 1974.
Actually, Jack Paar's primetime show lasted three years (1962-65). When it was
replaced by "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." in '65, Paar swore he'd never do another
series, but he was lured back by ABC to host "Jack Paar Tonite" in its "Wide World
Of Entertainment" slot one week per month in 1973.

And you're right about "Arrest And Trial" being diferent from "Law And Order" and in
a most important way: Chuck Connors being the defense attorney, which meant that
one or the other (he or Ben Gazzara) had to be wrong. On "L&O" the cops and lawyers
were on the same side. Still, some people do point to "Arrest And Trial" as a forerunner
of "L&O," even if it's not quite accurate.
Murphy Martin was hired from ABC's Dallas affiliate, WFAA, and had been doing the 11 PM
newscast for about a year. He was still on the job when JFK was assassinated. After he
left ABC he went back to Dallas, although I never recall seeing him on any local newscast.
And there's another name that's even more forgettable: Bob Young, who filled an interim of
about three months between Peter Jennings' departure and Frank Reynolds' being named
anchor
in 1968. Young was from Cincinnati and that's all I know about him.
Interestingly, a guest on Jimmy Dean's debut show was Fred Flintstone. In connection with
Hanna-
Barbera, the producers mixed live action and animation so that it appeared that the two were
actually
on stage together. Dean's was the first show to present the Country Music Association Awards,
and I
remember one year Minnie Pearl was a presenter. She appeared out of costume and in a formal
evening
gown, and instead of "How-DEEEE!" simply said "Hi" when she came onstage.

develop a sitcom for Carol, who wasn't quite ready to commit to a series at that point.
Interestingly, James Aubery was gone by then, but CBS brass did sort of force Carol to make a
decision about her TV future in '67; they were not going to renew her old deal to do specials,
and instead told her to choose either a sitcom or a variety show; the rest was history.

That might have been interesting--to see what kind of sitcom
Lucy could come up with for Carol. Meanwhile, Brooks and Marsh
say that Carol left "The Garry Moore Show" in 1962, which is when
Dorothy Loudon replaced her.
But no matter. "The Carol Burnett Show" is a classic in its own right,
especially the Tim Conway-Harvey Korman years.

Garry Moore seemed to feature "funny girls" on his TV shows. Remember his weekday morning
show of the 1950's on CBS when he had Denise Lohr as a part of the cast? She could do comedy
and was pretty nice looking, too.
And although Brooks and Marsh don't credit her as a regular,

Lily Tomlin made a few appearances on Garry's short-lived
1966 Sunday-night show. She was a co-host on ABC's
"The Music Scene" in the fall of 1969, joining "Laugh-In"
in December of that year.

Was Lily Tomlin a co-host on Music Scene or was she one of the players behind David Stenberg
who did comedy?
I always thought DS was the only "host".
I liked Music Scene a lot (especially Steinberg who I thought was terribly funny). It was a good
music show, it introduced me to the Bible (Billboard), but leave it to ABC to program a 45 minute
show in 1969.

She was one of six rotating hosts (the others: Steinberg, Larry Hankin,
Christopher Ross, Paul Reid Roman, and Chris Bokeno) until November,
when Steinberg became sole host. She joined "Laugh-In" in December.

I didn't know that. My falsie memory said that DS was the sole host. Thanks for the catch and
correction.

Well, obviously, even though Carol turned down 'Here's Agnes', Lucy liked the title well enough
to adapt it for herself in 1968! ;D I wonder if Lucy had ever intended to retire at that point?
Maybe it would have been Carol playing Agnes working in an employment agency..and if not
Gale Gordon as her boss, perhaps Harvey Korman or Tim Conway?;-)

I keep forgetting that Tomlin joined "Laugh-In" late, and stayed til the end; I always lumped her
in with Goldie Hawn, Henry Gibson, and others who started leaving in '70 and '71.(Realistically,
the show should have ended by '71, anyway; those last two seasons were quickly forgotten).

The Wilsons' son Mike was, IIRC, on the show for the entire five
years and took part in many of the illusions his dad performed.
I don't know what happened to him, but he has a brother, Greg,
who has followed in Mark's footsteps.
I believe, too, that Nani Darnell was a dancer before she and Mark
were married.
Mark also taught Bill Bixby the illusions he used on his series "The
Magician" and practically turned him into a student of magic; in

the '70s Bixby hosted a syndicated show called "Wonderful World
Of Magic," while Mark was doing a syndicated show called "Magic
Circus" (with Nani).

Magicians traditionally work with scantily-attired hotties. The hand is not always quicker than
the eye and there's nothing better than a scantily-clad hottie (or MILF) to distract the eye. :
MILF!!!
I think they may take you outside for a paddleing, Fred! Though you may like it.

Game 1 of the 1967 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals was played
this day. NBC had the rights to the Series, and the games would be carried on WBZ in Boston.
Red Sox games during the season aired on WHDH. By a special arraignment WHDH was allowed
to pick up the NBC feed and air it simultaneously with WBZ. I have no idea why NBC would
acquiesce to this arrangement, nor can I find any stories in the Globe that week explaining the
reason.

Re: Retro: Boston - Wednesday, October 4, 1967
"Dickory-Doc" with host Bob Barker? Must be a diferent
Bob Barker; the one who reminded us to have our pets
spayed and neutered was hosting the syndicated version
of "Truth Or Consequences" as well as "The Family Game"
on ABC.
There is a later case when a network allowed another
network's affiliate to carry a sports event, putting the same
broadcast on two channels. WHAS/11 had carried the Kentucky
Derby since 1950 and all through the years CBS had it. When the
Derby moved to ABC and WLKY/32 in 1975, the Derby people insisted
that ABC feed the race to both stations; first, because of the longtime
association with WHAS and second, because of WLKY's weaker signal.
ABC did this until CapCities bought the network in 1985 and refused to
allow ABC programs to appear on another network's affiliate. (ABC just
did outbid CBS for the rights to the race in 1990, a reason that's been
given for WHAS's switching to ABC that year but, IIRC, CBS was having
rating problems at the time.) After NBC (WAVE/3) acquired the race in 2000,
all that became moot.

I can tell you it wasn't an issue of signal disparity. I know that WHDH claimed a right to a local
broadcast a playof game if there was one. I still can't believe that WBZ did not complain and try
to stop it.

I thought that TV flagships of Major League Baseball teams prior to 1976 could simulcast
network coverage of World Series games.
WSBK-38, which became the Red Sox TV flagship in 1975, simulcast NBC's coverage of that year's
World Series between the Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds.

I think it was 1984 when that network exclusivity kicked in, at least as far flagship television
stations being allowed to televise their own coverage of the League Championship Series.
There's a couple of clips on YouTube (unless they took it down) of WFLD Chicago's telecasts of
one of the ALCS games between the White Sox and the Baltimore Orioles.

From 1969 through 1983, local TV stations that held rights to hometown Major League Baseball
clubs were allowed to produce their own broadcasts of League Championship Series games
involving those teams.
I recall WSBK-38 in Boston originating their own broadcasts of the 1975 American League
Championship Series between the Red Sox and the Oakland Athletics and the infamous 1978
division tiebreaker game between the Sox and the New York Yankees (In fact, I think WSBK's
remote truck not only provided the video coverage for WSBK's own broadcast of the 1978
playof game, but it's video coverage was also used for ABC's telecast of the game.
Local flagship stations were never allowed to produce their own World Series coverage, but as
mentioned above, could simulcast network coverage of the Series through 1983.

TV 38 had play by play with Dick Stocton and Ken Harrleson for 75ALCS using NBC video For 75
World series Both Dick Stockton and Ned Martin did play by play on NBC TV and Radio for
Boston games. Ned Martin did the call of Fisk's Home Run on NBC Radio. For Cincy games only
Marty Breennaman did play by play on NBC TV I beleive Ken Coleman was doing Cincy TV games

This was after Joan Rivers left for the new Fox network to start her own talk show, only for her to

would later replace Joan as The Tonight Show's guest host with jay Leno taking the reins in 1987.
Apparently, Pat's guest hosting stint was between Garry's and Jay's. Nevertheless, it could have
been a preview for his ill-fated series on CBS in 1989.

Notice the diferent guest hosts -- did KFNR/KFNB show The Late Show on a day (or longer)

their shows.
1:00 INN News (only other net affiliate I've seen carry INN was KTKA Topeka, in its days as KLDH)
CBS affiliate WEYI in Flint / Saginaw also carried INN News at 11PM, in lieu of a local newscast --
until shortly becoming NBC, WEYI only had one newscast of its own each weekday, at 5:30PM
(not counting news briefs).
At the time, channel 15 was a low-powered repeater of KPLO channel 6, a KELO satellite in
Reliance. The following year, it would be converted to a full-powered signal, as KCLO.

And here's where things get weird...the Nebraska edition, which covered most of KELO-Land, has
Captain 11 listed that day 2:30-3:30 MT (the rest of the network also usually aired Scooby at 2:30
MT/3:30 CT), as a live shot from the zoo in Sioux Falls...I suspect lead time for the diferent
regional offices (Denver for Northern CO, Minneapolis for Nebraska) may have had something to
do with the diference?
As for ABC 11/20, it appears that they ran the Late Show on a day-behind basis.
Retro: This Week in TV Guide, July 11, 1964 - MSP Edition
This week the Republican National Convention dominates the headlines and the television
coverage. Looking back on it from today's perspective, it's astounding how much importance was
attached to the political covention. As for 1964, the GOP convention was a doozy - and, as I
write, a good example of why political parties don't want conventions like this anymore. Plus,
NBC newswoman Nancy Dickerson does an convention fashion preview, Sullivan vs. The Palace,
and more.

Besides Senator Barry Goldwater's acceptance speech, the most-remembered moment of that
convention came when NBC floor reporter John Chancellor was arrested on live TV, signing-of:
"I'm John Chancellor, NBC News, reporting from somewhere in custody", as he was being
marched of the floor.
I, age eight and a half, was watching it, and the director cut to a two-shot of anchormen Chet
Huntley and David Brinkley in the anchor booth, who were laughing their heads of!
Despite the fact that Chancellor went on to anchor "NBC Nightly News" for almost a dozen years
(1970-82), he is best remembered not for that, but for the Arrest At The Cow Palace. Some even
claimed it was the reason why he got the anchor desk after Huntley and Brinkley split.
The story had a happy ending: The head of security recognized Chancellor, dropped the
"charges" against him (maybe the officers arresting him were fans of ABC or CBS!), and ordered
him back out on the floor to do his job for NBC.

WOuld love to see Weekdays and Sundays if you can - Thanks
I am surprised that given St. Louis had a VHF independent (KPLR-11) back in the late 1970's, it
did not carry the Cardinals, but instead, KSD-5, a network affiliate, did.
On the other hand, the team might only have allowed a limited number of games (all or mostly
away games) to be televised, so a strong network affiliate could be the TV flagship. Certainly, a
network affiliate could have been able to handle a TV package of up to 30 away games, or
perhaps as many as 50 to 60 games if about half of them were home contests.
But if the Cards wanted as many as 100 games a year (approximately 35 home games and about
65 away games) to be locally televised, KPLR (or maybe even UHF indie KDNL-30) would have
gotten the TV deal by default, since none of the network stations would be able to carry that
many games.
You could say that about a few other markets whose local baseball team was carried by a Big
Three network affiliate. I believe the Cardinals were still carrying about 25 games a year on
KSD(K) in the 1970s (by contrast, fellow NBC affiliate and future sister station WLWT in Cincinnati
was doing about 50 Reds games annually until the station gave up the rights in the mid-90s). The
Cards were one of the first teams in MLB to do a package of games on regional cable (on a
couple of unsuccessful occasions) before going full-tilt on what would eventually become Fox
Sports Midwest. The only diference between Cincy and St. Louis is that Cincy never had a VHF
indie, although WXIX had a strong reach carriage-wise beyond the Cincinnati metro area.
By the time the Cards moved to KPLR by the 1988 season, they were doing at least 50 games a
year (maybe more), but when the games moved back to KSDK in 2007, it was back to 20 or so
games a year (almost exclusively on Sundays), with the rest on FS Midwest.

Re: Retro: Chile Tues, July 19, 1966
Did Chile's capital city really only have two TV stations as late as 1966? Valpariaso is about 45
miles away, so I guess some viewers could get also get Channel 8.
I see Reporter Esso at 11pm on 8 and 13. I guess Esso (now Exxon) sponsored the newscast and
got their name in the title... sort of like NBC's Camel News Caravan in the 50s, sponsored by the
Camel cigarette company.

of the US during the 1950s, under "Your Esso Reporter".
...Your Esso Reporter ran in the summer of 1951 on CBS, Thursdays 9:00-9:30 Eastern and Pacific,
but only in the Eastern and Pacific zone areas where Esso was marketed under that brand name.
The Central and Mountain zone markets where Esso wasn't marketed (or where it was sold
under the brand name Enco) got a live production from Hollywood of Meet Corliss Archer; the
cast and crew produced the same episode live the following (Friday) night at 10:00 Eastern/7:00
Pacific for those stations that had taken Your Esso Reporter, while those affiliates that hadn't
apparently ran locally-originated programs or films instead...

The "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" episodes on Canal (Channel) 9 in Santiago were actually the
hour-long episodes (broadcast in the U.S. as "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour") from 1962 to 1965,
since the title in Spanish is "La Hora De Hitchcock" (although I know very, very little Spanish, I do
know that "Hora" is Spanish for "Hour").
"El Show De Lucy" may well have been "The Lucy Show", which was in production; Canal 9 may
well have been running the most recent (1965/66) episodes. But maybe it was also "I Love Lucy"
reruns (but wouldn't "I Love Lucy" been translated to something like "Amor Lucy"??)
The World Cup Soccer game between Italy and the then-USSR was on tape and shown on a
three-day delay (with a tape flown across the Atlantic). Russia and Italy were in the same group
as Chile during round-robin play; so Canal 9 and it's affiliates likely carried all the early-round
games from that group.
The Early Bird satellite had been launched in 1965; if Chile had an earth station downlink as far
back as 1966, Chile's games and the championship game were probably carried live (or maybe
on a same-day basis).
If Chile had a satellite downlink, it's possible that the soccer highlights show appearing that night
may in fact have been fed by satellite and featured highlights of the games that were played that
day (according to Wikipedia, they were North Korea vs. Italy, Argentina vs. Switzerland, Mexico
vs. Uruguay, and Brazil vs. Portugal). It may have been logistically (there were only a couple of
trans-Atlantic TV satellite circuits then) and/or economically difficult for Canal 9 to carry all of
the games live, so as noted above, if there was a satellite downlink in Chile hooked up to the
nation's TV networks, satellite use would probably have been restricted to games involving Chile,
the finals, and a nightly highlights show.
About Esso, Enco, and Exxon: The name "Exxon" has never been used outside the United States
(indeed, one can still find Esso gasoline stations in Canada and Europe). Enco was not used until
late 1960, and replaced several brand names used by Standard Oil of New Jersey outside the
East Coast (Carter, Oklahoma, Pate, etc.). The name "Humble" formerly used at gas stations in
the Southwest, was used in Ohio(!); while the name "Humble Oil and Refining Company" would
become the name of Jersey Standard's U.S. subsidiary from 1960 until the change to Exxon.
To answer Ultimajock: I don't think Esso was ever used on the West Coast; and the Summer 1951
broadcasts of "Esso Reporter" on CBS would have predated the transcontinental network link by
several months. Maybe the show may have been kinescoped, flown west, and shown there as
"Your Carter Reporter", since I believe the "Carter" name was used in the West until replaced by
Enco.
But I doubt "Esso Reporter" aired on the West Coast for the reasons outlined above.
Maybe someone with access to California TV listings circa Summer 1951 can solve this mystery.

(indeed, one can still find Esso gasoline stations in Canada and Europe).
Around 1996, there was an Exxon station in Windsor, Ontario, that was a former Esso station, at
the corner of Huron Church and Tecumseh (per Google's Street View, it's now a Shell). I believe
at one time, Imperial Oil imported the Exxon name to be used at a few stations, for reasons
unknown.

Canada's capital city only had two reliable English channels and one French as late as 1973,
though cable was available.

There was a pic on Flickr at one time (not sure if it's still there) of an Exxon in Morrisburg, in
eastern Ontario. And in some older phone books, there may have been one in Edmundston, NB
as well (an Exxon sign was shown in one local station's ads).

"Esso" was never used on the West Coast - That was the marketing area of Standard Oil of
California-who sold fuel as Chevron-and used S.O. as the name of one of their products. (There
was a TV drama program out west called "Chevron Theater" in the early 50s)

...my source was Brooks & Marsh (6th Edition), which specified Your Esso Reporter aired on CBS
in the "East and Far West" regions, and that the same episodes of Meet Corliss Archer were
produced live on consecutive Thursdays and Fridays during the summer of '51...
I believe Exxon originally came up with the name to change all their worldwide brands under
that one name... or at least that was the explanation given when they unveiled the Exxon name.
But it's true, that plan never materialized. I know in Quebec and Ontario, they kept the Esso
name, with the few exceptions mentioned above.
And how stupid am I? Only now did I realize Esso is the phonetic spelling of S.O. meaning
Standard Oil.

Does anyone recall a fourth pump at Esso stations in the late 1950s?
This would be in addition to the then-recently introduced third pump, their
super high-octane "Golden Esso Extra."
I can't recall the marketing name of the fourth pump, or where it was in the
octane pecking order (higher than "Golden" or perhaps a "cheap" regular).
Probably just to keep the trademark in the company and away from potential poachers. There's
still a solitary Standard Oil gas station in Michigan for the same reason.
I believe the same goes for Chevron, which has at least one Standard station in Florida, Texas and
California (maybe others), to keep the trademark fresh in their Standard territory.

elementary school and turning on "Dark Shadows. Heck, I would be happy to turn my TV on right

6:30, except for KATU was a dead spot for local news, apparently.

15 What is Degrassi Jr. High? [three times now!]
Is that the title of the listing (perhaps a documentary of the show) or an innocent question
bridged with the regular title "Degrassi Junior High"? (And if the latter, 15 actually ran the show
four times on this day with the 7:30 PM airing.)

KCKA aired the "title" of the listing, "What is Degrassi Jr. High?" Probably some type of preview
show related to the Degrassi series.

KMOX though a CBS O & O is preempting the Sunday Morning cartoons, What's New Mr Magoo
and Skatebirds which were reruns of Saturday morning cartoons CBS had in the 77-78 season.
WOnder if this was just missing from listings or that they just did not run it. Its unusual for an O
& O not to run a network ofering. Also missing from Channel 2 was Kids Are People Too and
Animals Animals Animals. KTVI though was an affiliate so I can see them preempting ABC Sunday
kids shows. Still ABC affiliates mostly ran ABC Sunday shows far more than CBS Affiliates ran CBS
SUnday cartoons and Kids Shows.
No typo for KMOX...People Speak was listed as 90 minutes...

Re: Retro: St. Louis Sun, July 29, 1979
A number of ABC affiliates ran "Kids Are People Too" and/or
"Animals Animals Animals" in the 7-8 AM (ET) slot on Saturday.
Did Channel 2 carry either between 6 and 7 AM (CT)?
I grew up in a neighboring market, and I have no specific memory of Channel 4 clearing the CBS
Sunday morning cartoons in the late '70s or '80s. Beginning at some point in the early '80s,
Channel 4 even started bumping 30 minutes of the CBS Saturday morning cartoons to air "D.B.'s
Delight."
Nope...station signed on at 6:30 with World of Ideas.

Re: Retro: Oklahoma Monday, July 23, 1979
Oklahoma City was still a NO independent station town in 1979. By the end of the year they had
2 independents that signed on within weeks of each other. That would fill a huge void in that
market...
KTVT at 7 AM had a local show called Slam Bang Theatre with a mix of Bugs Bunny/Warner
Brothers Pre 48 post 41 color cartoons, Three Stooges, and MAYBE Poepye at some point from
what I have heard and seen in listings back then...Someone said Little Rascals aired there as well
but did not after 1973 because 39 KXTX had them when they merged with TV 33 in 1973
(actually KXTX was on 33 originally and DOubleday donated TV 39's license and programming to
33 and they combined assets and made a more agressive station on Channel 39...The same time
as WYAH TV 27 Virginia Beach went from 8 hours a day to 20 hours a day between the fall of 72
and Fall of 73. WHAE 46 Atlanta also evolved slower from 1973 to 76 from a couple hours a day
to 20 hours a day. But KTVT did not have Rascals after 1973 if they had those.
What was Comedy Capers??? I saw this in other listings as well. My theory was it was a mix of
cartoons from the same group as Slam Bang but leaned toward comedy rather than action...
On KXII, what was the series Twelve Acres at noon? It sounds like a rural soap opera. ;D
It was a farm-news program. KWTX/10 Waco had an identical program called "Ten Acres,"
which was carried on its satellite, KBTX/3 in Bryan, TX, as well (but under the "Ten Acres"
name).
Retro: This Week in TV Guide, July 21, 1973 - MN State Edition
This week we read about how more Americans are getting medical advice from doctor shows on
TV - hey, who needs WebMD when you've got Marcus Welby, M.D.? Also, the College All-Stars
take on the Miami Dolphins, The Midnight Special takes on In Concert, Rachel Carlson takes on
pollution, and more!
And now the week's listing, wherein we've got everything from channel 2 to channel 11. Have
fun!

38 WSBK never had the Flintstones in the 70's or 80's. WLVI 56 had them all along in the 70's and
80's till 1988 when they moved to WFXT and then back to WLVI in 1990 till about 1995. WSBK
had them maybe in the mid 90's. That may have been Fred Flintstone and Friends

Re: Retro: Boston/Manchester - Monday March 29, 1954
ABC would not get a full-time affiliate in Boston until November, 1957 so WMUR-9 was the
default ABC station for Boston. And with a good antenna, it's analog signal reached Boston and
even penetrated a little south of Route 128. With an outdoor antenna at my location in
Norwood, Massachusetts, I got a decent (but not as strong as Channels 2, 4, 5, and 7 from
Boston or Channels 10 and 12 from Providence) analog signal from WMUR with (in the 1970's
and 80's) good color.
In Boston itself and the northern suburbs, WMUR's signal was even better with a clear picture,
including color once that came in.
I would think that at least a couple of prime-time programs Maureen Carney posted for WMUR
from the Nashua Telegraph's listings that were in fact on ABC.
(Among them would be "Big Picture", which actually ran on ABC for a time in the early-to-mid
1950's; and "Junior Press Conference", which ABC found as a cheap "throwaway" against the
top-rated "I Love Lucy")
I don't think WMUR carried CBS shows that were cleared by the old WNAC-7; in fact, I thought
that WMUR in its early years may even have cleared a couple of NBC shows that WBZ-4 did not.

From the Boston Globe, here are listings for March 29th, 1954 from 4 P.M. onward (since the
Nashua listings posted at the beginning of this thread began at 4 P.M.) of Boston's one UHF
station at the time (the late WTAO-56) and the only VHF in Providence at the time, WJAR-10
(both of whose signals likely couldn't be received in Nashua):
WJAR Channel 10 (NBC/CBS/ABC)
4:00 Welcome Travelers (NBC)

4:30 On Your Account (NBC)
5:00 New England Talent Club (local)
5:15 Children's Theatre
5:30 Howdy Doody (NBC)
6:00 The Adventures of Superman (syndicated)
6:30 Jo Staford Show (CBS, delayed from previous Tuesday at 7:45 P.M.)
6:45 Peter Carew Show (local?)
6:55 Weather; News (maybe the weather was at 6:55 and the news at 7?)
7:15 TV Sports Page (with Warren Walden; local)
7:30 Madison Square Garden (films of sporting events taking place there; syndicated)
7:45 NBC News, John Cameron Swayze
8:00 Name That Tune (NBC)
8:30 Make Room For daddy (ABC)
9:00 Outlet Company Jubilee (local special probably celebrating the store's anniversary; Outlet
was the original owner of WJAR)
9:30 Robert Montgomery Presents (NBC)
10:30 City Detective (syndicated)
11:00 Local News
11:10 Main Event Wrestling (likely on kinescope, probably syndicated although DuMont did carry
some wrestling until 1955)
WTAO Channel 56 (DuMont/ABC)
5:45 Sign-On/Captain Video (DuMont; delay from 7 P.M. sometime during the previous week)
6:00 Local news with Ken VanWart
6:15 What's Your Trouble? (syndicated religious show with Dr. Norman Vincent Peale)
6:30 Deadline Edition (I have seen this title listed for local newscasts in various New England
markets. Maybe it was a regional newscast---apparently originated from WHYN Springfield and
fed to stations by stations rebroadcasting the signals of other stations carrying it)
6:45 What One Person Can Do (I suspect this was a syndicated public-service type program)
7:00 Locker Room, with Herb Ralby (local; Ralby was a longtime sportswriter in Boston)
7:15 Marge and Jef (DuMont; one of it's stars was a young Jess Cain who a few years later would
become morning man at WHDH-850)
7:30 From Little Wings (aviation film?)
8:00 Front Page Detective (although starting on DuMont; the show ended in first-run syndication
in 1953)
8:30 Wedding Morning ( a short film of some sort)
9:00 Movie: "Honeymoon Limited" (I found a 1935 film with this title on IMDB; running 74
minuets, meaning about 20-25 minutes of the film had to be cut due to the network program
following at 10 P.M.; see below)
10:00 Professional Boxing: Middleweight bout between Bobby Dykes and Ralph Jones at Eastern
Parkway Arena in Brooklyn (DuMont)
11:00 News (likely local, followed by sign-of)

That's quite a lot of markets represented there; I'd love to
go around the dial and see the local news from each one.
Not knowing much about the geography of Pennsylvania
(other than where the major cities are), I'm assuming Huntingdon
is in the Johnstown-Altoona market, since all its channels seem to
be represented here.
What edition of TV Guide did they get?
In 1996, the TV guide edition they got for the Johnstown-Altoona market, was the TV Guide
Johnstown-Altoona edition.

Re: Retro: Huntingdon, PA Tuesday, January 16, 1996
There's a show on WPIX called "Swaps". What was that about?
Also, what about "Naturesleep" and "Billy D" on WTTG?
-crainbebo
Was WHP-21 (CBS) Harrisburg not listed in this edition (even though the rest of the
Harrisburg/Lancaster/York "Big Four" was listed)?
That's right, the Huntingdon Daily News didn't include listings for these stations...
WLYH-15 (UPN)
WHP-21 (CBS)
WJAL-68 (WB)
"Swaps" was a short-lived dating game type show, as broken down here:

Also, what about "Naturesleep" and "Billy D" on WTTG?
Infomercials?

Re: Super Mario Bros. Super Show TV Listings.
Jackson (Miss.) Fox Affiliate WDBD 40 ran it at 4:30 p.m. I believe.
Why are you so obsessed with the Super Mario Bros. Super Show?
Because i'm a huge fan of the Super Mario Franchise, and have been so since I got my first
Nintendo, and I have always wanted to know what stations aired both the Super Mario Bros.
Super Show and Captain N and the Video Gamemasters which had the Adventures of Super
Mario Bros.3 and the Super Mario World cartoons included. I'm not obsessed with Mario in any
form or way. If you have any other listings for the Super Mario Bros. Super show that is not listed
above please post them here.

If you are looking for Captain N, it was on KTZZ in Seattle, c. 1991. I think it was 5 or 5:30pm.

schedules that you have and post what time and channels did the Super Mario Bros. Super Show

According to the Central Pennsylvania Edition of TV Guide for November 24 1990, WOLF Fox 38
aired the Super Mario Bros. Super Show at 6:30 AM Monday-Friday. Also according to TV Guide
it says that: For programs on 56 Hazelton, see 38. Does that mean WWLF 56 programming
schedule is exactly the same as WOLF 38's?

Re: Retro: Syracuse, NY - 03/20/1996
Here's a question: What happened to the REPLY button? ???
It's at the bottom of the page.
Retro: Toronto & Hamilton, January 14 thru 19, 1961
Source: TV Guide, Lake Ontario edition
As this was the first full week that TV Guide listed the complete schedule of CFTO/9 Toronto
(which had signed on the air for its first regular programming the previous New Years Eve), I
thought it would be interesting to isolate only the Toronto market stations and give a glimpse of
what Canadian TV was like that early in the game. Although CFTO was officially an Independent
station (CTV wouldnt get cranked up until later that year), its significant that most of the
Stateside imports (nine of them) aired on CFTO were ABC series; ABC had held a minority stake
in CFTOs holding company until just before the station took to the air. Only two other CFTO
prime time shows, Route 66 and The Andy Griffith Show, would come from another U.S. network
(CBS). In addition to the Bufalo and Syracuse stations, and WICU-TV/12 in Erie, Pennsylvania, the
Lake Ontario edition also listed two other Ontario stations, CKVR-TV/3 Barrie and CKCO-TV/13
Kitchener; being CBC affiliates, most of their programming duplicated CBLT/6 Torontos schedule,
so I plan on posting those under a separate listing.
Each of the Toronto and Hamilton stations aired a lot of U.S. first-run imported series, often
running episodes before NBC, CBS or ABC would. Ive added the U.S. networks and nights for the
first-run episodes of these series to each such listing. Oddly, although CHCH-TV was (and
continues to be) a local-strength signal to the Toronto metropolitan area, it was programmed as
if Hamilton was a distinctly separate market, with CBC network programs being duplicated on
CBLT and CHCH-TV; in one case, episodes of the same syndicated series (Lock Up) were aired at
the same time on both CFTO and CHCH-TV.
And, yes, I was surprised as well to notice one major hit series was absent from all the schedules
here: NBCs Bonanza, which starred Lorne Greene (whose first broadcasting success came as the
CBCs main newscaster during the World War Two).

13 C.O.P.S. (the problem is figuring out if this is the popular Fox police show, or if it's reruns of
the cartoon C.O.P.S. from the late 1980s)
I would have to think it's the former; by now, the Fox series was in syndication, and the animated
show was either of the air, or revamped under the new name "Cyber C.O.P.S." on CBS Saturday
mornings.
Speaking of CBS...
Nope - part of CBS' "Crimetime After Primetime" lineup - in its final months before David
Letterman came to the network.
By the by... What did 22 air at 5 PM - or did they air a full hour of "Garfield And Friends"?
Full hour of Garfield & Friends (4:30-5:30). Thanks for letting me know about Cops! (I get
confused since the police show doesn't use those dots like the C.O.P.S. cartoon in the 1980s
did...)
-crainbebo

Nope - part of CBS' "Crimetime After Primetime" lineup...
Though it might have been produced and seen in Canada before CBS picked it up.

Mitchell H.: Just a word to let you know how much I appreciate your TV Guide issue analysis
posts. They are
unique, really insightful and the links are great!
Here in Louisville, the four oldest stations all originated popular local variety, kids' and talk
programs from the late '40s through the late '70s, along with their news programming...I clearly
remember the days!

Two and a half weeks later, the quiz shows scandal exploded, and the first victim was "Dotto",
the daytime version of which was cancelled just seventeen days after the listings spotlighted at
the start of this thread.
"Dotto" was cancelled on Friday, August 15th, just hours after that day's edition had aired.
I'm not 100% sure, but "Dotto"'s nighttime version (which aired on NBC; in contrast to the
daytime show which was on CBS) may have been broadcast one last time on August 19th before
leaving the air.
Of course, what made this a big scandal was when the top-rated "Twenty One" got implicated
later that month when Herb Stempel, who lost to Charles VanDoren on that show, began talking.
I have heard an urban legend (I don't know if it's true) that "Twenty One" host/co-producer jack
Barry first heard of Stempel's accusations backstage of a Chicago nightclub, where he had just
performed his standup comedy act. According to this story, a friend or associate rushed in with
the "bulldog" edition of the next morning's paper, screaming a big headline: "Contestant:
'Twenty-One' Fixed; Top-Rated TV Game Show Rigged?"

Thanks for the kind words, King Bee! I'm glad you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy
researching and writing them! Ah, for the days of local programming, right?

the start of this thread.
Timing is everything, isn't it? Interesting story about how Barry first learned of it - wonder how
we can find out if it really happened that way.

Boy, make one mistake and you pay for it the rest of your life! Of course, as most of the regular
readers know, I usually do that, though I overlooked it this time. There is, of course, further info
on the market in my linked article

Interesting how none of the three NBC affiliates listed carried Jack Paar's "Tonight" from the start
(10:15 p.m. CT), and NBC's Fargo affiliate skipped the first hour of "Today," signing on at 8 a.m.

It probably didn't make financial sense for the KDAY-6 to sign-on prior to 8 A.M. CT, given that
the sign-of was shortly after 12 Midnight CT (12:05 or 12:10 A.M.?), and as such, two master-
control shifts would have covered the full broadcast day.
By this time, the hour of "Today" carried from 8 to 9 A.M. CDT/CST was likely a tape of the first
hour (7 to 8 A.M. EDT/EST) and was no longer a live "re-created" version of the first hour for the
Central Time Zone (and points further west).

Re: Retro: Boston - Tuesday August 1, 1967
I believe WGBH-2 got it's first color studio cameras during the Fall of 1967, which would have
made it one of the first NET member stations to do so.
The one color program on Channel 2 that day was no doubt on film; WGBH had gotten the
capability to show color film in mid-1966.
In fact, I believe the first WGBH Auction in 1966 was originally intended as a one-time event to
raise funds to convert WGBH to "local-live/tape" color.

In fact WGBX 44 was supposed to start as an all-color facility, but that didn't happen for some
years to come.
The listing I can't get over is the Sox game starting at 8pm. Games must have been shorter back
then!

I don't think that was the reason. An 8:05 P.M. EDT start for weeknight games just seemed to be
the "norm" back then.
In fact, the old WHDH-5 even carrying a prime-time Boston Red Sox game was quite unusual
then. In the late 1960's, the station only carried about 50 regular-season games a year (increased
to between 56 and 60 games a year starting in 1968), and in the case of 1967 and previous years,
there were only a handful of prime-time telecasts each season.
Most Red Sox TV games back then were on weekend afternoons.

I recall reading on the WFFT Wikipedia entry that they had some local children's programming;

"Froggie's Pad" and "Happy's Place" were indeed both local kid shows, and both ran well into the

It was commonplace for LeSEA's stations to run secular family programming, including top-rung
material such as Disney and Chipmunks, on weekday afternoons, while leaving the rest to
"Jesus" (apart from INN's newscasts).

Re: Retro: Hartford November 15-16, 1958 - WTIC switch to CBS
I have seen old TV listings for Connecticut indicating that "Lassie" aired on WNHC-8 (now
WTNH), normally an ABC affiliate, during most of the time that WHCT-18 was a CBS-owned
station, and that WNHC continued to air "Lassie" well into the 1960's.
Additionally, "I Love Lucy" and "The $64,000 Question" were broadcast on WNHC during the
time WHCT was owned by CBS.
It's interesting that while CBS owned a UHF station in Hartford that for the 1955-58 period, three
of the network's most popular shows (if not the three most popular shows on the network)
would air on a VHF station normally carrying another network's programming.

WNHC kept a secondary affiliation because WHCT couldn't reach the western part of the state. I
can't blame CBS for that arrangement.

Frankly, I couldn't even receive analog channel 18 up to when it was forced of the air in the
spring of 1991. I live in southern Hartford County, with Avon Mountain to my north-northwest. It
wasn't distance that killed their signal. It was due to reflections with terrain and me being at the
bottom of New Britain's Walnut Hill.
Signal problems also used to plague the old channel 30 of New Britain/Hartford. Until their signal
was increased in 1978, they needed WATR-TV channel 20 of Waterbury to bring NBC in clean to
much of the Naugatuck River Valley and New Haven.

It's interesting that in it's early years (up to around 1959), TV Guide would list what shows were
on film and later tape.
But starting in 1959, with most shows either filmed or taped in advance, TV Guide changed it's
indication on the recorded status of programs, and instead of indicating which shows were on
film or tape, they indicated which shows were live.

There was some investigation, even after WTIC came on the air, into making Hartford an all-UHF
market. The Springfield stations, along with the existing UHF stations in the area, didn't want the
competition. One plan had channel 3 moving to Providence (and move WNHC back to channel 6
in order to free up another VHF elsewhere) and another was to make channel 3 the educational
TV allocation. In hindsight it's obvious that all-UHF would never work.

I thought WNHC was moved from Channel 6 to Channel 8 because of interference with WFIL
(now WPVI) in Philadelphia.
Had it been moved back to Channel 6, it might have have to have been re-allocated to Hartford,
and the New Bedford Channel 6 allocation would have had to go away.
Perhaps the FCC could have ended up moving Chanel 3 to Providence (which might have become
the home of WTEV/WLNE), make Channel 8 noncommercial, allocated to a town between
Hartford and New Haven, and force both WTIC/WFSB and WNHC/WTNH to UHF.
Had that occurred, Hartford's WEDH, on VHF, might have been the "most-watched" NET/PBS
member station for the simple reason that it would have had the clearest reception on most sets
in the area.

I noticed "Sunrise Semester" on Sunday morning; at the
time it wasn't on CBS but aired on WCBS at 6:30 AM
weekdays. The first course, in 1957, covered Stendhal's
"The Red and the Black," and the bookstores in New York
couldn't keep it in stock. I wonder if WCBS was repeating
it (or doing one similar) and WTIC was picking it up.
The discussion concerning the what-ifs of channel allocation
swaps says that WEDH might have become the most-watched
PBS station. I wonder which one is; my gut says either WGBH
or KQED.

Re: Retro: Rochester/Syracuse/Bufalo Saturday, August 5, 1978
Interestingly, it appears that WOR-9 New York (listed in upstate New York due to cable carriage)
didn't air the Mets' game at St. Louis that day or evening.
If it was a night game, it might have been bumped in favor of soccer (Was Pele still on the New
York Cosmos' roster then?).
Or did the agreement Eastern Microwave had with the station precluded or limited the number
of Mets' games from WOR that EM could carry to cable systems outside the New York area??
(By 1983, when my Boston suburb got cable TV and was able to get WOR/WWOR via cable, all of
the station's Mets' telecasts were seen on their by-then satellite "superstation" feed)

Unlike the "EMI Service" days in the 1990s, the (W)WOR signal soutside the NYC market, via
microwave and satellite, was exactly the same as back in NYC, leaving it to the cable systems
(with "guidance" from local stations (pre-1981) and sports teams) to black out programming if
needed.
I believe the game was either not televised, or seen on another NYC station other than WOR, as
the schedule above had no glaring holes.

It doesn't seem likely that Channel 5 carried the Mets game;
Channel 9 had the Mets and Channel 11, the Yankees. Nor
do I think the o&os (2, 4, and 7) would have pre-empted their
regular programs (especially 7, with "The Love Boat" and "Fantasy
Island"). I think 9 simply had a program conflict and the Cosmos
won out that night.

Re: Retro: Seattle/Tacoma, Wednesday, Oct. 30th, 1991
There was a short-lived daily syndicated "Candid Camera" with Dom DeLuise that Vin Di Bona
("America's Funniest Home Videos") produced for the 91-92 season. That was most likely the
version that 13 ran.

CFTO-9 in Toronto had signed-on a few weeks earlier.
CHCH-11 Hamilton was still a CBC affiliate; it would become an independent later that year.
The move of CBLT from Channel 9 to Channel 6 (and likely, an increase in power coinciding with
the change of channels) resulted in it's signal area almost completely overlapping with that of
CHCH, which in turn was the likely reason the latter dropped the CBC.
Did any of the Toronto and Hamilton stations in this listing pick up "The Jackie Gleason Show"?
January 20 would be the infamous premiere of "You're in the Picture." Were Canadian viewers
also "treated" to this disaster and Gleason's on-air apology the following week?
...not over CBC, anyway. Dunno if CFCF-TV/12 Montreal or CKLW-TV/9 Windsor picked it up, but
CFTO and CHCH-TV didn't touch it, either...

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga (8-4-1985)
Since I know somebody's going to ask what wrestling show was on
Channel 5, IIRC it was what was then called the WWF. I also seem
to recall that later, maybe even before 5 went to Fox, it was moved
to Saturdays at 11 AM. (I remember that because WFMY, which is still
with CBS, was carrying WCW wrestling in the same timeslot.)
Retro: This Week in TV Guide, August 5, 1967 - MN State Edition
This week, Edith Efron's cover story details how NBC's publicity machine is in the process of
turning Barbara Walters from the latest "Today Girl" into a celebrity; guest shots on talk shows,
articles in magazines, invitations to White House dinners, awards from various groups. And we
thought manufactured news celebrities were new! Also, there's Sullivan vs. The (Piccadilly)
Palace, the hunt for the new heavyweight champion, Soviet Russia controlling the news media
(imagine that!) and more!
http://www.itsabouttv.com/2013/08/th...st-5-1967.html
As for this week's program listing, it comes from the middle of the week - a typical broadcast day
in the middle of summer. Channel 2, the educational channel in the Twin Cities, isn't
broadcasting, but otherwise we run the gamut from Channels 3 to 12. Unless indicated, they're
all from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

Since both WBIR and WJHL were CBS affiliates, I would think---but don't know for sure---that the
other two stations carrying the coverage were likely the CBS stations in Memphis (WREG) and
Nashville (WLAC-5; now WTVF).
I suspect statewide election reports originated from Nashville, given it's the state capitol.

Re: Retro: Maine Sat, Aug 7, 1976
The track meet on "Wide World Of Sports" was probably televised live and/or same-day.
It was held less than a week after the end of the Summer Olympics in Montreal, so the Russian
track team competed there before going home; likewise, I suspect the U.S. track team went
there straight from Montreal, although for all I know, the U.S. Olympic track medalists may have
come there by way of Washington where then-President Ford may have honored them.

Shaggy Dog" and some other Disney shows? I didn't know she was a singer.
That's the same one! She also was on "The Virginian" for the first 3 seasons and often sang on
that show as well. Here's a clip of her from a Welk show:

At least one other Kaiser station broadcast professional wrestling on Saturday mornings at 11

Wrestling ran for decades on WKBG/WLVI in that time period and it's my understanding that it
was the most-watched Saturday-morning TV program in Boston for much of that time and was
one of WLVI's most popular programs!
I wonder if the other Kaiser stations likewise ran "rassling" on Saturdays at 11 A.M. local.
I suspect WKBD's wrestling show wasn't the same as WLVI's; if the American Wrestling Alliance's
(AWA) "territory" included Detroit, I would think that's what WKBD showed. WLVI carried the
World Wrestling Federation's (WWF; now known as WWE) syndicated "Championship Wrestling"
in that slot during the middle 1970's.

Correction: Ven Marshall, not Van.
William F. Buckley discusses should the government have secrets? Now the question is should
people have secrets? It was a better world when Buckley was the voice of conservatism and
Rush was doing top 40.

Jack is still on. Looks a bit over the hill lately, grayer and fatter. But he's still predicting the end of
the world. Since Detroit is mostly vacant lots now, no need to use the streets for a quickie.
She is probably way past her "best used by date" by their is something about Rexella! : All those
years with Jack; what a waste!

This would've been less than a month before Baton sold its stake in CKLW-TV and CBC took full
ownership, changing its call letters to CBET. From my understanding CBET kept some CTV
programming as late as the late 1980s, though gradually declining over time.

Big Time Wrestling was indeed the TV for Ed "The Sheik" Farhat's local Detroit promotion. Big
Time Wrestling had a long and varied history on Detroit TV, having aired on CKLW, WXON, WKBD,
and finally WGPR over the course of the late 1950s to early 1980s. Also, in the 1960s, there was
a rival TV wrestling show, Motor City Wrestling, that ran on WXYZ.
I was 8 years old at the time. I would be watching Marvel Superheroes and Ultra Man before
switching to Big Time Wrestling. My Uncles, who are 11 & 12 years older than me, used to scare
me with stories of the Sheik setting Bobo Brazil's shoes on fire.

13 Arsenio Hall (on a Sunday?)
Some affiliates carried a weekend edition of the show, with some opting to run it on Saturday
nights, while others such as KCPQ chose to air it on Sunday nights. Same with Arsenio's
companion show at around this time, Nia Peeples' "Party Machine", which you'll see runs at
12:30 AM on this night, and for a full hour, as opposed to the half-hour airings during the week.

6:00 am - Thing in the Morning
I believe the complete title of this program is "Fox Thing In The Morning."
It's interesting to see that, in observing Eastern time, WRTV could get away with court-martialing
"The Marshal" which aired the hour prior to "Monday Night Football" on the East Coast.
Also interesting to see an NBC affiliate (WNDU) literally stoning Conan's "Late Night" show!

Very likely. In those days he was working with a couple of other guys who made some
noise (and I mean that as a compliment) in the world of jazz: Donald Byrd and Coleman
Hawkins. That same year he had his first hit record, "Watermelon Man."
Also. remember that, even going back to the days when Arthur Godfrey hosted "Talent
Scouts," the talent was always undiscovered professionals, unlike on Ted Mack's show.
So I have a feeling this was indeed Herbie Hancock.

Guess the old WQXI-11 couldn't carry network color programming as late as August, 1962.
But then again, I don't think ABC (with which it was affiliated then) broadcast any network color
programs until September of 1962, and then, I think only "The Jetsons" and "Bugs Bunny" were
colorcast.
It would not be until 1965 that ABC began broadcasting more than a handful of hours of color
each week.
Given that Atlanta even then was a large market, I would think that WQXI at least got the
equipment to broadcast network color by the time ABC began airing some color shows that Fall.

They did. They ran "The Jetsons" and "Beany And Cecil" in color
in fall 1962; I don't think they had "The Flintstones" in color, however.
They made the changeover to airing local programs in color in 1967.

Re: Retro: Alabama Saturday, August 11, 1962
Interesting takeaway: The split NBC/CBS affiliates (3, 13, 15 and 23) all chose to go with the CBS
MLB Game of the week rather than the NBC game. I could understand that on Channel 3, since
they were a primary CBS, but I wonder what the rationale was on 13, 15 and 23---all primary
NBC affiliates? Or could it have been that 15 and 23 were picking up 13's feed via antenna and
relaying it to the Tennessee Valley? And better yet...why didn't Channel 9 carry the NBC game?

I can only theorize and say that Dizzy Dean had a large following
in the South and would probably have easily beaten NBC. We had
an NBC primary, WECT Wilmington, NC, that also carried CBS's games.
Likewise, WRAL Raleigh had just switched from NBC to ABC, but IIRC,
still carried NBC's games while WTVD (CBS primary) carried Dizzy and
Pee Wee and usually had the bigger audience.
Regardless, it would be logical to think that in Birmingham Ch. 6 could
have carried the CBS games (it had a few leftovers from its CBS years
up until the late '60s) and 13 could have carried NBC's. But 6 had a
scheduling conflict; "Wide World Of Sports" aired on Sundays at the time,
but 6 chose to delay it until the following Saturday. After "Wide World"
became a Saturday show, I always remember 6 carrying it in pattern.

As for Ch. 9, it is odd, because both CBS and NBC had games on Sunday,
with the same announcers; 3 carried CBS and 9, NBC. Again, in Birmingham,
13 had the CBS game and the NBC one was pre-empted.
I don't know if 15 and 23 picked up 13's feed (they could just as easily have
picked up Ch. 5 in Nashville), but they probably went with the higher-rated
network.

I thought the reason WBRC-6 dumped CBS and went to ABC (and probably not clearing many
CBS shows as a secondary affiliate) was the result of a 1961 "CBS Reports" documentary on
school desegregation in Birmingham.
Ironically, the narrator and reporter was Howard K. Smith, who was forced to resign from CBS
News as a result of editorializing in his closing narration. Smith soon wound up at............ABC!
Although Smith wouldn't become co-anchor of ABC's evening newscast until 1969, he did a
weekly news analysis program for a couple of years and also anchored or co-anchored ABC's live
coverage of special events and breaking news (except for space flights; Jules Bergman did that)
from the time he joined the network.
I would think that WBRC didn't carry the Smith show during it's run (around 1962-63), and if
they could pick-up CBS' or NBC's live coverage of breaking news, political conventions, elections,
or other special events instead of ABC's coverage, they'd do so, again, to avoid having Howard K.
Smith on it's "air".

The reason both CBS and NBC had Saturday-afternoon Major League Baseball games in the early
1960's was that MLB had no league-wide national TV deal for regular-season games. Individual
teams could negotiate with networks.
This situation was similar to the National Football League through 1961; individual NFL teams
could negotiate their own TV deals until the NFL signed a league-wide TV deal with CBS in 1962.
As a result, several teams made deals with CBS allowing that network to carry, if they wished,
Saturday home games on the network; and likewise, other teams made similar deals with NBC.
Additionally, network "Game Of The Week" broadcasts were blacked-out in cities with MLB
teams until 1965, when MLB signed it's first-ever league-wide network TV deal for regular-
season games with ABC. But ABC's deal lasted one year (I suspect it was because NBC's deal for
the All-Star Game and the World Series ended at the close of the 1965 season and the league
wanted to combine the two packages for 1966 and beyond).

Re WBRC and Howard K. Smith: WBRC was one of the
last two ABC affiliates to pick up the network's newscast
when he was co-anchoring with Harry Reasoner (WJRT
Flint, MI was the other); both began airing the broadcast
on August 7, 1972.
Another reason for the WBRC switch from CBS to ABC
was that its then-owner, Taft Broadcasting, was switching
some of its other stations, in particular flagship WKRC Cincinnati
and WKYT Lexington, KY. WKYT went back to CBS in 1968 when
it got new ownership and WBLG (now WTVQ) signed on as the new
ABC affiliate; WKRC returned to CBS in, I believe, 1995, when WCPO
was one of four stations Scripps switched to ABC in exchange for
keeping WEWS Cleveland and WXYZ Detroit in the ABC fold; Scripps
had considered moving them to CBS when WJW Cleveland and WJBK
Detroit were bought by Fox and switched from CBS.

Date of the (yes, very hard-hitting) CBS Reports documentary in question: May 18, 1961.
Date on WBRC's signed affiliation agreement with ABC: March 1, 1961. (the actual flip would
occur that Fall)
Hmmmmm............
Once more, with feeling: The reason WBRC flipped affiliation was - as BPatrick also noted -
because of a realignment among Taft Broadcasting stations to ABC. That's the reason. Find
Leonard Goldenson's book about ABC, it's in there.

WBRC, CBS, and ABC (Was: Re: Retro: Alabama Saturday, August 11, 1962)
The Howard K. Smith special on Birmingham was probably produced in early 1961, and WBRC-
6/Taft management may have gotten wind of what he and his crew were doing and saying while
the documentary was being produced.
After doing more research, I found out that CBS wouldn't let Smith quote a line from an author
which in this instance denounced desegregation to close the TV show. But he supposedly used
that line in a report aired on a CBS Radio hourly newscast on a day when something there
became a top news story while he was there. This incident may well have been during January or
February of 1961.
That may have prompted Taft to dump CBS (if this incident was in January or February---I don't
know the exact date---it could have been a factor), although the affiliation deal between WBRC
and ABC was signed/took efect two-and-a-half months prior to the TV broadcast.
I had also heard that in late 1960, Ed Murrow had gone to Birmingham to begin working on the
TV documentary, but after he left CBS to head the U. S. Information service, Smith was assigned
to finish the special.

The line Smith quoted was Edmund Burke's statement that
the way for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
Bill Paley felt, nevertheless, that Smith was editiorializing,
even though Smith pointed out to him that the line was not
his but that of an eighteenth-century political scientist.
Paley, however, felt that Smith had been expressing his
opinions on the air too much, and this, he decided, was the
last straw. Smith got into more hot water almost as soon as
he arrived at ABC, with his "The Political Obituary Of Richard
Nixon." Smith interviewed Alger Hiss, the State Department
official who leaned toward the Communist party and who had
first brought Nixon to fame with his confrontation with Whittaker
Chambers in 1948. When criticized for including Hiss Smith responded,
"Mr. Hiss is news. I'm not running a Sunday-school program."
Years later Smith himself would make news when he called for Nixon's
resignation; it was a truism in the industry that Smith was the most
pro-Nixon of the network anchors at the time (1974).
As for the lag time between WBRC's signing with ABC and the actual
switch, that is not uncommon, since the current contract with the
outgoing network has to run out. When Fox bought WBRC in 1994,
it was still under contract to ABC, which wouldn't let WBRC out. As
a result, the station didn't change from ABC to Fox until 1996, leaving
Fox in the awkward position of owning an ABC affiliate for two years.
(WGHP also had to wait, in its case a year, before going from ABC to Fox.)

and ABC was signed/took efect two-and-a-half months prior to the TV broadcast.
So, you're suggesting what took place was more like, "Those Yankees up at CBS are putting
together a documentary that says mean things about our city.   The NERVE!
   Donna, get ABC on the phone!!!!!!!"    Oh, I'm sure WBRC
brass were aware of the documentary being put together. Moreover, I'm sure
that few atop Red Mountain were happy about it.   I'm sure at least one let their
views be known.
In all logic, though, if we don't factor in Taft's decision, the worst that could have come out of all
this would be the station taking a high-profile stance and refusing to clear it.   But
to sever ties with CBS out of spite is a decision that - even for some people in that time and place
- would have made zero economic sense.
But never mind all that. The story reads better as "Birmingham dissed by CBS
documentary, so 'racist' TV station dumps CBS to make a statement." Right?
: I seem to recall about a year ago, in a discussion about
American Bandstand, that its absence from Birmingham television was possibly due to - in your
words - "racism."
http://radiodiscussions.com/smf/inde...topic=220693.0
The documentary had zero to do with Taft's decision to align with ABC, period. Had it
been so, this would certainly have been mentioned in Goldenson's book.
Remember, this network change was not isolated to one station.
Any mention of WBRC's change to ABC against a backdrop of "Who Speaks for Birmingham?" can
only be done in terms of speculation.   To the research I've done, there is no solid,
verifiable correlation.

I also noted Lloyd Thaxton's show in Toledo. He was
obviously on television a long time; he had a local show
in Los Angeles before going into syndication in 1964.

Just how long did his broadcasting career last?
I also assume that Michigan stayed on Eastern Standard
Time in the summer. Those schedules are reminiscent of
what stations in North Carolina and points south were doing
at the time, following a Central time schedule in the summer
months. (I know that the networks didn't put the entire Eastern
time zone on a 7:30-11 PM primetime and a daytime schedule
starting at 10 AM on CBS and NBC, 3 PM on ABC, until 1958.)

It was the first day of the Democratic Convention, and also the day that a new anchor team
made their debut for NBC: Chet Huntley and David Brinkley.
Although many have said that Huntley and Brinkley immediately overtook CBS and won the
ratings race at the 1956 conventions, that's actually not true. CBS drew the most viewers of any
network at the '56 conventions, but their margin over NBC was far less than it was in 1952, and
supposedly, NBC's ratings for the GOP Convention were higher than they were for the
Democrats, since word-of-mouth caused many viewers to try Chet and David.
Does anyone in the Detroit area have a list of programs on ABC, CBS, and NBC that were
displaced due to the conventions??

I believe Huntley and Brinkley were joined by NBC newsman Bill Henry for both of the 1956
conventions that summer.
