Re: Retro: North Carolina Saturday, July 3, 1976
With, apparently, much of the Tar Heel state watching, the Phils pulled it out in the 9th, 3-2. See
the boxscore at http://www.baseball-reference.com/bo...97607030.shtml .
It was my father's 39th birthday. I watched it with him at my aunt's in Chester, PA, a Philadelphia
suburb. Only we watched it (with the Phillies' announcers) on WPHL-17 because of NBC's GOTW
blackout policy, which affected both the home and visiting markets, which NBC fed an alternate
game. Wonder what KYW-3's game was that last day of America's second century? ??? ;D

"Emergency +4" and "The Oddball Couple" were
indeed cartoon spinoffs of "Emergency!" and "The
Odd Couple," respectively. "The Oddball Couple"
was about a neat-freak cat named Spiffy (voice
by Frank Nelson) and a sloppy dog named Fleabag
(voice by Paul Winchell), and like Felix and Oscar
they were roommates.
"The Harlem Globetrotters Popcorn Machine" was
a live-action kid-oriented variety show, not to be
confused with their animated show of the early '70s.

Re: NBC Schedule Thursday, May 20, 1982 (with YouTube video)
I don't mean to argue but that is false about Search For Tomorrow coming on after Doctor's in
the schedule. Now on December 31, 1982 the Doctor's went off air. in 3 months later Search was
cancelled by CBS to air what cbs thought would be a succesful soap Capital.NBC bought search
and aired it for 4 years. A game show hit man replaced Doctor;s while Fantasy replaced Texas
because it 2 was cancelled on December 31, 1982.

Andy, try again. The Search CBS=>NBC transition WAS in 1982.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_for_Tomorrow
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_%28TV_series%29
To be fair, The Doctors may not have been paired with Search for Tomorrow in your local TV
market (was also the case in DFW), but the Peacock did air them together during the overlap
time.

Re: Retro: Wisconsin, October 4, 1972
Re your statement about "All My Children" at 10 AM:
it is a little early, but "Guiding Light" airs at 10, and
even 9 AM, in some markets. And back in '72 I was
living in Birmingham, and "AMC" came on there at 10
on WBRC (today, on ABC33/40, WCFT and WJSU, it's
seen in pattern at noon).

Wednesday
8- 13R- Sesame Street ??? (because many markets did not have PBS in 1972, local stations often
carried the show)
...and, in the case of Rockford, they still don't (although some parts of the market can recieve
WHA-TV/21 Madison and WTTW/11 Chicago...
8:30- 6: Cartoons (which ones not given)
...WITI usually ran the AAP Popeye and Warner Brothers packages...
10- 17, 9, 19: Galloping Gourmet
...interesting, as the show ended production in 1971 after Graham Kerr's near-fatal car
accident...
11:30- 21, 10: Sesame Street

...this was the broadcast of "Sesame Street" that was previously relayed on KFIZ/TV/34 Fond du
Lac (via whichever of the two originating stations would provide better reception in FdL that
given morning), but shortly before this WPNE-TV/38 Green Bay went on the air as the first
Wisconsin PBS affiliate north of Milwaukee or Madison, and KFIZ-TV discontinued their
rebroadcasts...
2- 3, 7, 8, 12, 23: Love
...wasn't the full name of this one "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing," after the 1950s
novel/movie/hit song?...
3:30- 2: Anything You Can Do
34: Grab Bag
...curiously, while WBAY-TV was running the Gene Wood season of "Anything You Can Do," by
this time Don Harron had taken over as emcee of the newly-produced episodes. WBAY-TV, to my
knowledge, never ran the Harron version, as they switched rather abruptly one week from the
Gene Wood version of "Anything You Can Do" to the Gene Wood version of "Beat the Clock"...
...KFIZ-TV's "Grab Bag" was a local talk show co-hosted by Steve Peterson, then a disc jockey on
KFIZ Radio, and a woman simply identified as Wilma, who I think may have been a columnist for
the Fond du Lac Commonwealth Reporter newspaper...
4- 2: Ponderosa
..."Ponderosa" was, of course, the syndicated rerun title given "Bonanza" while that series was
still in production for NBC...
4:30- 21, 10: Sesame Street

34- Cartoons
...at one point, KFIZ-TV would also rebroadcast this airing of "Sesame Street," but again the
crank-up of WPNE-TV put an end to that. When they did carry "Sesame Street," KFIZ-TV would
sign on at 11:30 A.M. (at one point 11:00 to add "The Electric Company") and sign back off the
air at 12:30, then sign back on at 2:00 with "Make Room for Daddy," "I Love Lucy" at 2:30, "Grab
Bag" at 3:00, "Uncle Doug's Cartoon Club" at 3:30 (the "cartoons" listed at this time) and
"Sesame Street" at 4:30...
..."Uncle Doug's Cartoon Club" was a local kiddie show starring Uncle Doug McGrath, who was
also the farm reporter for KFIZ Radio. The cartoons being shown would be the TV Mr. Magoos,
"Bozo," "Hercules," "The Funny Company" and, for a short while, "Roger Ramjet"...
5:30- 34- Voyage to the Bottom
..."of the Sea"...
6:30- 2: Dragnet
13E, 34: Hogan's Heroes
40: Roller Game
...interesting that KDUB would run "Roller Game of the Week" (the L.A. Thunderbirds version
with Dick Lane commenting) on a Wednesday early fringe, pre-empting "The Paul Lynde Show"
from ABC at 7:00. KFIZ-TV ran it Saturdays from 6:30 to 8:00 P.M., right after either AWA "All-Star
Wrestling" or their American International Pictures beach movie package (as "Bikini Theater").
But then again, WBAY-TV did run "Roller Derby" (the S.F. Bay Bombers version) as a late Friday
afternoon hour around this time, too...
7- 34: Dragnet
...curious that WBAY-TV and KFIZ-TV would run "Dragnet" in adjacent slots; it was the 1967
revival version both times, although I think KFIZ-TV once ran the '50s b&w original before this
period...
7:30- 34: Tarzan Theatre
...I think these were actually the re-edited Ron Ely TV episodes from the mid-'60s...
9: 34- Name of the Game
10:30- 3, 2, 7, 8, 11, 12, 23: Movie
27, 9, 13R, 19, 40: Dick Cavett (preempted on 6, aired on WVTV 18)
34: Untouchables
...Cavett was also pre-empted on WLUK, which chose instead to carry "The CBS Late Movie"
which WBAY-TV pre-empted in favour of their own syndicated packages...
..."The Untouchables" was the last syndicated rerun package KFIZ-TV bought; seven weeks after
this, the station folded. KFIZ-TV, KFIZ Radio and the Fond du Lac Commonwealth Reporter were
all owned by the same corporation, which attempted to sell each property off in mid-1972. KFIZ
Radio and the newspaper each got bought, but the TV station couldn't find a buyer (they tried to
sell to Gaylord as a satellite of WVTV Milwaukee, which KFIZ-TV was already rebroadcasting a
substantial amount of the week anyway, but Gaylord wasn't interested), so it was taken dark and
the license returned to the FCC...
11:30- 34: News
...most likely just a tape of news headlines read by Doug McGrath or Steve Peterson under the
KFIZ-TV ID slide...
...if anyone else has ANY listings that include KFIZ-TV (it operated from December 16, 1868 to
November 19, 1972), PLEASE post them here ASAP ;-) ...

"Galloping Gourmet" was syndicated in rerun form through the mid-1970s, until about 1975,
when Kerr's new 5-minute series, "Take Kerr", began.

...most likely just a tape of news headlines read by Doug McGrath or Steve Peterson under the
KFIZ-TV ID slide...
...if anyone else has ANY listings that include KFIZ-TV (it operated from December 16, 1868 to
November 19, 1972), PLEASE post them here ASAP ;-) ...
Yikes, KFIZ-TV was the first TV station in the world?
On a VERY vaguely related note, I'd love to know anything about the apparently very brief (and
considerably more recent) life of WHBL-TV ch. 28 in Sheboygan. Yes, it did exist as I did see the
station once.

Another short-lived one from that era was WTHX-TV 16 Manitowoc. I don't know if this one ever
made it to air, but its status has been "Permit canceled" since 1988.

Re "Anything You Can Do": In September 1972
then-ABC affiliate WGHP/8 Greensboro/Winston-
Salem/High Point replaced "To Tell The Truth"
at 6:30 with the year-old Wood episodes of "AYCD."
In the 1973-74 season Channel 8 carried the Harron
episodes of "AYCD," while CBS affiliate WFMY/2
carried the Wood episodes of "Beat The Clock" at 7.

KFIZ sounds like a very historic station, even though it was only on for four years.
WPNE, Green Bay's PBS, had just signed on the air about a month earlier, so before that, the
local stations in Green Bay probably picked up "Sesame Street" and the other CBS programs.
Surprisingly, the State Journal did not pick up the listings for WVTV in Milwaukee, even though a
lot of people probably got it via microwave back in those days.

I don't recall WVTV being on cable in Madison when we got cable in our dorm in 1979. ISTR the
only out-of-town station was WGN.

Can't remember what was on channels 8 and 10. Been too many years! Maybe
WMVS/Milwaukee was on 10?

...indeed, WMVS was on 10 by the time I moved to Madison in '83; WTBS was on 8 then...
station once.

current status (as DWHBL-TV) is "Permit canceled," effective 3/30/87.

Another short-lived one from that era was WTHX-TV 16 Manitowoc. I don't know if this one ever
made it to air, but its status has been "Permit canceled" since 1988.
I don't believe the station in Manitowoc ever made it to air, though I recall seeing a story during
a local Today Show cutaway on WLUK one Fall 1983 morning about a license being granted (I
don't recall any other details in that story besides "Manitowoc" and "Channel 16").
I actually came across two entries tonight in the FCC search for a Channel 16 in Manitowoc that,
sure enough, both display the "D" prefix for cancellation. One had a 4/17/1984 start date for the
call sign WYJE, while the other was for the above mentioned DWTHX-TV that was cancelled on
3/9/1988.
For what it's worth, Broadcasting & Cable in 1998 published a table of early digital TV channel
assignments, and it displayed Manitowoc's Channel 16 with a digital assignment of Channel 19.
And oddly enough, since you mentioned Sheboygan above, W29DJ in Sheboygan (which I don't
know if it's still broadcasting or not) spent time earlier this decade on Channel 16, where they
currently have a permit to construct a digital signal.

In looking over this schedule, some of the shows (other than regular ones) looked very

3 years ago..August 2005..Just for kicks here is that schedule for comparison..

*Prior to the sign-on of WPNE-TV/38 Green Bay, WHRM-TV/20 Wausau and WHWC-TV/28
Menomonie, the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board brokered blocks of programming
time from several commercial stations in order to air "Sesame Street," "The Electric Company"
and in-school instructional programs under the umbrella title "Classroom." The station that the
most time was brokered from was KFIZ-TV/34 Fond du Lac, which simulcast programming
relayed from the off-the-air signals of WMVS-TV/10 Milwaukee, WHA-TV/21 Madison and WLUK-
TV/11 Green Bay. Prior to this, KFIZ-TV usually signed on the air at 2:00 P.M. with reruns of
"Make Room for Daddy" and "I Love Lucy." The coordinator for this brokering program was Russ
Widoe, who in earlier years had been cartoon hosts Colonel Caboose on WBAY-TV/2 Green Bay
and Captain WITI on WITI/6 Milwaukee. It was Widoe who had been instrumental in moving the
location of the proposed Green Bay-market PBS outlet from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh
(where it was to hae had the call sign WHKW-TV) to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay; in
the same process, the NPR affiliate for the Green Bay market was also moved from Chilton,
directly across Lake Winnebago from Oshkosh, to UW-GB and the call sign changed from WHKW
to WPNE.
**This combination of two stations running their own versions of "Dialing for Dollars" created a
lot of frustration in Eastern Wisconsin. The signals of both WFRV-TV/5 Green Bay and WISN-
TV/12 Milwaukee were equally well-recieved in Fond du Lac and Sheboygan Counties; in fact,
WISN-TV also operated translator stations in both Sheboygan and Fond du Lac. The formulas for
the two games were different -- a cash amount and a number "up" or "down" on WISN-TV, and a
cash amount and the name of one of that evening's NBC prime time programs on WFRV-TV --
which meant that a Sheboygan or Fond du Lac County contestant sometimes uttered the nams
"Daniel Boone," "Laugh-In" or "Flip Wilson" over CBS affiliate WISN-TV.
***The 10:00 "To Be Announced" on KFIZ-TV was a direct result of the local newscast on
WVTV/18 Milwaukee. The newscast would rarely, if ever, end atexactly 10:15, and KFIZ had
arranged to simulcast WVTV's carriage of "The Merv Griffin Show" (which was usually tape-
delayed by WVTV from CBS the previous weeknight). So KFIZ, instead of airing either the
Milwaukee-based newscast of WVTV or producing its own, usually ran a couple of "Mr. Magoo"
cartoons and some public service anouncements until WVTV rolled its Griffin tape. Thus,
although the listing makes it appear that KFIZ was carring the same Griffin show from a direct
CBS feed as WLUC-TV/6 Marquette and WSAU-TV/7 Wausau, in fact KFIZ merely put 10:30 on
their listing bulletin and would already be well into the previous night's Griffin show by the time
10:30 did roll around.

Re: Retro: Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Friday, December 17, 1971
George Carlin was on the Tonight show that night...I wonder if that was his first time on the
show after he "went hippie", as the old folks of the day put it? I remember being shocked by his
appearance when I saw him with long hair, beard and T-shirt for the first time. Seems like he
disappeared from TV for a year or so in between the clean-cut years and the hippie years.

...it may have been. In fact, his post-transformation record album, FM & AM, was released by
Little David/Atlantic just over a month later, and as a result of that LP's success, RCA Victor
reissued Carlin's 1967 album Take-Offs and Put-Ons on its RCA Camden budget label (later
reissued again on Pickwick) with a new cover http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3079/...d302a8.jpg?
v=0 featuring a charicature of his "hippie" persona...

Re: Retro: Chicago Tuesday, October 30, 1951
Couple of things;
WBKB 10am Creative Cookery was hosted by Francois Pope. The theme song was a Chopin song
(name forgotten but I can whistle it).
wnbq
"Norman Rose" was actually "Norman Ross, a news commentator.
"Hawkins Falls" was the first soap opera on tv.
10am on WGN "Your Figure Ladies featured "Paul Fogarty", a muscle bound guy in a black shirt
who exercised to live organ music.
530pm "The Chimp on wenr, followed a monkey named "Chatter" all over the place, with a guy
doing the monkey''s "voice."
I grew up in Chicago and probably watched tv that day. I remember alot of this. Thanks, Butch.
I bet I can answer well any questions you may have.
From the Chicago Daily Tribune:

WBKB Ch. 4 (WBBM Ch. 2) (CBS)
6 PM Bob Elson (longtime Chicago personality)
10:45 Wendell Hall (singer who dates back
to the earliest days of radio)
...Bob Elson was, I think, still doing an early morning radio show on WCFL as well as calling the
White Sox games on both TV and radio. I have a 1936 aircheck of a post-season Cubs-Sox game
Elson did for the Blue Network of NBC and carried on WCFL, one of the network's three Chicago
affiliates at that time; attached to that mp3 is a sportscast Elson did for NBC Blue about 45
minutes after the game ended that was carried on WENR (NBC Blue's owned-and-operated
station then)...
...and as for Wendell Hall, one of the very earliest surviving commercial radio airchecks is a
February 1931 WTMJ Milwaukee distance check of a Hall performance on NBC as "The Pineapple
Picador" (his sponsor on that date was Libby's Fruit)...
Bob And Ray)
Besides, weren't Bob & Ray on NBC at the time?
Bob and Ray didnt start on NBC-TV Till November 1951-In a 15 minute early evening show..
Creative Cookery with the Pope Family was also shown at least in 1953 on WNBK-4 in Cleveland..

Was one of the Pope family on "Creative Cookery"
Carmelita Pope? Seems she was popular in Chicago
around this time (was a panelist on "Down You Go,"
IIRC). I remember her commercials for Pam, the non-
stick product you apply to pans.
I'm also surprised that neither "Love Of Life" nor
"Search For Tomorrow" was carried in Chicago at
the time; both had debuted in September (but
then again, WBBM is the only CBS station outside
the Eastern time zone that carries "Guiding Light"
in the morning, which may say something about
the station's attitude toward soaps).

IIRC, Carmelita Pope was Francois Pope's daughter.
By 1951, both the Cubs & Sox had exclusive deals with their repective radio outlets and WGN-TV.
Bob Elson did Sox games and Bert Wilson called the Cubs on radio then. Jack Brickhouse & Harry
Creighton called games on both sides of town on Channel 9. Elson had called both teams prior to
World War II, as did several others on several stations.
In 1951, White Sox day games were on WJJD, night games were on WCFL.

...hmmm...would the wrestling shows on WRCB and WRIP be the same promotion, and would
that promotion have been Angelo Poffo's ICW or another similarly-named outfit? And any idea if
the WDEF and WCWB wrestling shows would have been Memphis or Georgia?...

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Saturday, July 26, 1975
I can only assume that the International Wrestling
show is International Championship Wrestling, the one
you're referring to, and for some reason ended up on
both Chs. 3 and 61. WDEF's program was local;
wrestling in Chattanooga was promoted by Nick Gulas
and Roy Welch's company out of Nashville. WCWB's
is Georgia, but I think it was taped at the station and
was not the Atlanta show (although I do remember WRDW
Augusta carrying the Atlanta show on a week's delay);
WRBL Columbus had its own studio show with Georgia
wrestlers.

Thanks to NBC's all-night lineup, KTVF by the Fall of 1998 would now be 24 HOURS A DAY
Monday through Friday (though they would still sign-off for a half hour or so on the weekends).
The other stations except for KATN would all follow suit in the years to come, with KJNP going
24/7 in 2003.
When did Fairbanks, Alaska get the WB?
Until the fall of 1999, Fairbanks (and Anchorage) got their WB fix via WGN...I mean, Superstation
WGN...I mean, WGN America. I tried to get KTVF to run WB programming live from 4:00-6:00
pm; but faster than you can say "Secret Talents of the Stars", it BOMBED and satellite -- namely
WPIX, KWGN, and KTLA -- would be the only resort.
In 2005 or so, WB/CW returned to Alaska on cable and as digital subchannels on KATN/KIMO
(Anchorage)/KJUD (Juneau).

Notes:TV Guide would have Ads for "Popeye" Debuting August 2, 1957 on KYW-3 ..Channel 3
would carry various Popeye Cartoons into the mid 1970's
One O Clock Club would Debut on WEWS-TV 5 Monday, August 26, 1957..First for an hour, then
eventually 90 minutes. The show was a big hit until Mike Douglas came along on channel 3 in
December 1961. One O Clock Club lasted until 1964.

I noticed the name John B. Hughes. Wasn't he a
network radio newscaster in the '40s, either on
ABC or Mutual?

bpatrick:
I had one of my blog readers ask about John B. Hughes awhile back, I think he was with Mutual
Radio for a time in the 1940's..Not a lot about him anywhere on the Net. He did leave Cleveland
in the mid 1960's to return to New York City where he was from..
Small correction:Popeye Cartoons began on KYW-TV 3 September 2, 1957, not August..Barnaby

(Linn Sheldon) may not have started there as yet but he was definitely at Channel 3 before the
end of '57..

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati/Evansville Saturday, June 20, 1959
This is when "Uncle Al" was on the ABC-TV Network on Saturdays. That longtime children's show
started at WCPO-TV Channel 9 in Cincinnati in the 1950's and continued to 1985 airing Mondays
thru Fridays. The program starred Al Lewis (Albert Lewis Slowik) as "Uncle Al" and his wife,
Wanda, as "Captain Windy". At one time in the 1950's, he had three daily programs on weekdays
of one hour each on Channel 9. Al and Wanda now reside east of Cincinnati near Hillsboro, Ohio.
Retro: Yuma, Arizona December 14 - 19, 1953
Yuma's first local TV station, KIVA channel 11, signed on October 8, 1953, and the local paper
began publishing the station's schedule in mid-December with the radio schedules. The station
would sign on with at test pattern at 3:00 PM and start regularly scheduled programming at 4:00
PM. The station went dark January 31, 1970.

have aired anyway thanks to Crane's odd behavor.

You might want to double-check here; didn't WCAX carry Search for Tomorrow at 12:30?
That's what I get for listing stations individually - WCAX did run Search at 12.30.

Re: Retro: Atlanta Tuesday, August 4, 1981
The minor-league baseball game on TBS was due to the MLB players strike. TBS would air
another Richmond at Pawtucket game in 1994 when the end of that season and the World Series
was cancelled. Seeing as I've been to McCoy Stadium (Pawtucket, RI) a few times, I actually
enjoyed the 1994 game enjoyable.

Anyone know when "Today" flipped to color? I figured it would have been in color by the
summer of 64.
Retro: WNAO-TV Schedule Sunday, July 12, 1953
It was 55 years ago this July 12 that television first came to the Raleigh/Durham when WNAO-TV
first signed on UHF Channel 28. I thought that I'd like to celebrate the occasion early by posting
the schedule from that Sunday night.

I'd like to know about the 9-10 PM time slot myself.
But why would Raleigh/Durham not have been connected?
Greensboro and Charlotte were connected in 1950.

BTW, WNAO was the only CBS affiliate in North Carolina to
run Ed Sullivan at 7 or 8 (whichever), although WFMY began
doing so that fall. WFMY and WBTV had "The Colgate Comedy
Hour" (NBC) Sundays at 8; Sullivan aired after the CBS Sunday-
night news on WBTV and on Tuesdays at 10 on WFMY (starting
in the fall of 1952 when NBC temporarily dropped "Ted Mack's
Amateur Hour").
But in the fall of '53 WSJS (WXII)/12 signed on, took the NBC
affiliation (and "Colgate"), and Sullivan began airing in pattern
in the Triad. WBTV stuck with "Colgate" until about 1955.

"It was 55 years ago this July 12 that television first came to the Raleigh/Durham when WNAO-
TV first signed on UHF Channel 28."
I know this is a really elementary question, but I'm going to ask it anyway: since TVs did not
come with UHF tuners until the early 60s, and there was no cable - how did viewers in cities like
Raleigh/Durham and other smaller markets receive reception from WNAO and other stations?
I grew up in LA, and of course, all the major stations were VHF. The first UHF stations
(independents) came into the LA market in the early 60s, and actually folded because so few
people could tune them in. The first UHF stations to make it were in the mid to late 60s - KCET 28
(NET, now PBS) and KMEX 34; LA's first Spanish language station. By then, cable was making
some inroads, and I believe most people who were able to view these two stations were able to
do so because they had cable.
TVs were expensive in those days - relative to median income - so middle- and working class
people did not buy new TVs for minor reasons, like to get color, or UHF stations. They generally
bought new TVs only when their old ones were unrepairable.
I doubt there was cable in Raleigh/Durham in 1953- so I am guessing that TV manufacturers

either sold TV with UHF tuners in small markets - or people were able to buy some kind of
converter boxes.
Am I close?
http://www.geocities.com/k8zhd/TVBox.html is a good start.
Looks like an interesting site..I know tbat UHF converters were being sold in the Canton, Ohio
area as late as 1967..Here's an article from my blog detailing the beginning of WJAN-TV 17 in
Canton January 3, 1967..with a newspaper ad for UHF converters..
Never had to rely on one of those -- from my earliest childhood, our TVs always had some sort of
UHF built-in (except for that ancient monstrosity at my grandparents' place in VT, but there was
no UHF to watch there then anyway). But many years ago, I picked up an old B-T converter at a
garage sale for a buck, and played with it for a little while. It suffered from major
imtermod/image problems all across the band, and even the strongest locals were never crystal-
clear. Plus the thing drifted like crazy -- you would have to tweak the tuning dial every 10
minutes or so. It isn't hard to see why so many early UHFs went belly-up if that was the sort of
technology viewers had to depend on to view them!

You must be a few years younger than me, Stanislav. My parents bough their first TV set in 1956 -
an RCA 22 inch, I think...black and white, of course. Needless to say, it had no UHF tuner. That
was our only TV until 1968 - 12 years later.
I grew up in the 60s in a middle class neighborhood, and my parent's TV was pretty typical. I
don't remember any of my friends or neighbors having anything newer or better. More than a
few of the neighborhood TVs had problems requiring constant fiddling (as in standing up and
walking over to the TV - no remotes)...like twitchy vertical holds, snow and ghosts you could
make go away temporarily by banging on the side of the TV, and so on. Our RCA was one of the
more reliable sets. The TV repairman was a very popular and busy guy in town.
I don't remember any of my friends having TVs with UHF tuners built in, or even having
converter boxes. But we were in a marginal reception area, so the UHF stations probably
wouldn't have come in any way. Cable came to town about 1967 or so, and we not only got
excellent reception for the first time, but were then able to watch LA's two UHF stations.
Most certainly, TV sets were manufactured with UHF tuners included beginning in 1953. All new
TVs sold in the immediate Raleigh-Durham area begining in 1953 did include a UHF tuner.
HOWEVER--the UHF tuner was an optional feature and usually cost about $40 extra. They were
usually only sold in areas which had UHF stations or the prospect of a UHF station coming on.
When WNAO/28 went dark in 1958, TV dealers went back to selling VHF only sets in Raleigh. I
remember the Sears catelog offering all their TVs with a UHF option (for about $40 more) until
1964, when they were required by law to include UHF. Two additional notes--WNAO was not the
first station to offer TV to Raleigh-Durham. Some people there began buying TVs in 1949 when
WFMY/2 in Greensboro came on. Those early adopters did, in fact, have to go out and buy UHF
converters when WNAO/28 came on---I remember my grandmother's Motorola converter, next
to her VHF signal booster (for WFMY) on top of her Sylvania "Halolite" TV in Raleigh, along with
her huge VHF antenna, and small UHF "bowtie" on the roof. Also, people bought new
(repalcement) TVs quite often in the 50s. For one thing, the early sets did not last long. Secondly,
new features, including larger and larger screen sizes, made the new sets very attractive.
Interesting information, Fortmill - thanks. By the early 60s, TV sets had a decent lifespan, and
color was too expensive for most people...just to be able to watch about a dozen programs in
color. At least where I grew up, you didn't replace your TV until the repairman was making
monthly house calls, or the repairman declared your TV no longer worth fixing. People even
replaced blown-out picture tubes back then - which was not cheap.
These days, we take modern electronics for granted. When you think a typical TV set in the mid
50s cost at least $150 - plus $40 or so more for a UHF converter in places like Raleigh/Durham -
Using the online inflation calculator, that $200 cost is the equivalent to over $1,500 these
days...for a not very large black and white set with one speaker monaural sound and no remote
control.
When we moved to Raleigh in 1957 we bought a
set that actually had built-in UHF capability (coming
from Greensboro and WFMY, it was the only way we
could see our favorite CBS shows), and we watched
WNAO probably more than we did WRAL or WTVD.
After WNAO went dark we couldn't use that UHF
capability again until we moved to Norfolk in 1966.
There were two UHFs on the air there: WHRO/15
(NET, the predecessor of PBS) and WYAH/27 (Pat
Robertson's CBN station). The new 28 in the Triangle
didn't sign on until 1968, by which time we were in
Greenville, SC.
I was born in '60. The first TV I remember us having was an RCA model that had only a VHF tuner.
I'm sure it was something that my parents scraped and saved to buy. At the time, it didn't matter,
since Birmingham had only three TV stations at the time: 6 (ABC), 10 (NET), and 13 (NBC/CBS).
When I was 5, Channel 42 signed on, and of course, we couldn't pick them up. I remember going
to my dad's mother's house, where she had a UHF converter that enabled her to pick up 42. IIRC,
the picture was almost unwatchable...and she lived less than five miles (as the crow flies) from
the Channel 42 transmitter.
When I was 6, my mom's parents bought my younger brother and me a TV to go in our bedroom
(yeah, being the kids of an only child had its perks!) The Sylvania model had a built in UHF tuner,
which enabled us to pick up Channel 42...and the picture was almost as unwatchable on that set
as it was at my grandmother's---we lived less than four blocks from her. I think part of the
problem to Channel 42's poor reception was that they didn't broadcast at full power for many
years.
You must be a few years younger than me, Stanislav. My parents bough their first TV set in 1956 -
an RCA 22 inch, I think...black and white, of course. Needless to say, it had no UHF tuner. That
was our only TV until 1968 - 12 years later.
By the time I was old enough to be playing with the TV, it was the early-mid 60's (I was born in
'58). Eventually, I discovered that our TV had a UHF tuner -- the rest of the family had no clue.
See, this may sound strange, but I hope others will back me up on it. Some TVs sold back in the
day "supposedly" didn't have a UHF tuner -- the front panel had the VHF dial and, beneath it,
just a flat panel covering where UHF would be. Some even had that little panel labeled "For
UHF." You may find it hard to believe, but some such sets -- including ours -- actually HAD a tuner
behind that little panel, attached to the panel, and by loosening up the panel a bit (it was glued
on to discourage exactly what I was doing, but was easily freed up with a screwdriver or nail file),
you could actually turn it, thereby also turning the UHF tuner! (Of course, you were tuning in the
blind, but it was pretty easy to find the various channels by trial and error.) Yup, it was probably a
racket -- you'd call the TV repairman and say you wanted UHF "added" to your set, he'd come
out and spend about half an hour futzing around, and in reality all he would do is take the
"placeholder" panel off and put on a numbered dial. Then he would charge you an arm and a leg
for installing what essentially was a $2 part.
I do hope others will chime in on this, so the world knows I'm not making it up. Over the years, I
saw similar old sets a couple of times in motels with the same setup (flat "For UHF" panel
instead of a dial, but the tuner present and functioning).
Hotel TV's made through the 70's had the same cap in place of a UHF knob. When the cap was
removed you could use the VHF knob and tune UHF.
I came across a late model (early 70's vintage) UHF converter and it actually worked well. It was
very sensitive.

I think most of the VHF sets manufactured in the early 60s had that "UHF cap" somewhere on
the front of the set. I remember when WCCB/36(now channel 18) came on the air in Charlotte in
1964, several of my relatives there called the TV repair man in and had a UHF tuner installed
where the cap had been. WCCB's arrival was a very big deal in Charlotte since CHarlotte was
determined to be a big city and you couldn't really be big time if you only had 2 TV stations.
Some TV sets (Zeniths, I think) during that period had the option of installing a "UHF strip" which
somehow converted one of the unused VHF positions for a single UHF channel. My aunt in
Charlotte did that.

But wasn't WCCB's coverage area so limited that
the cable companies (even in Charlotte) carried
WGHP when both stations were ABC affiliates, so
that people in that area would have an ABC affiliate?
As for WBMG, strangely enough I lived across town,
in Center Point, and had no problem picking up Ch. 42
(of course, I could also pick up Ch. 11 in Atlanta when
conditions were right, which was fairly often), and
without benefit of anything but the rabbit ears on my
portable TV and nothing at all on our console set downstairs.

The original WCCB on channel 36 probably was not a powerhouse--they broadcast from what
was probably about a 500 ft tower on Independence Blvd, right next to what is now Cricket
Arena. Educational WTVI/42's similar tower was right across the street (the lower part of that
tower still stands). WCCB moved to channel 18 in 1967--on a new 1300 ft tower in NW Charlotte
and used 5,000,000 watts--the first 5 megawatt TV station in the country. Some would say that
the introduction of Jefferson Pilot Cable and Cox-Cosmos Cable in Charlotte, also in 1964, was
actually an attempt by WBTV and WSOC to limit local competition in Charlotte. In addition to
WGHP, they also carried WSPA, WIS, and WXII. I don't think WGHP was carried because WCCB
had a weak signal (besides all my relatives in Charlotte got perfectly fine reception on WCCB/36).
After all, WGHP was also carried on Cablevision of Raleigh (another JP property), and
WRAL/5/ABC was anything but weak. The fact is, there was little content for cable systems to
carry in those days, and WGHP had rather unique programing for a station in the Carolinas (yes,
it was carried on a number of systems in SC , as well). When WTTG and WDCA came along a few
years later, the Charlotte cable systems dropped WGHP and WXII while WIS and WSPA continued
to be carried.

"TV Theater" couldn't have been "GE Theater"? I think
it alternated with Fred Waring's show on CBS at the time.
Speaking of WGHP as a unique station for the Carolinas,
and the fact that it was on some South Carolina cable systems,
Channel 8 was heavily influenced from Atlanta: it was the only
non-Storer-owned station to use Storer's rep firm (Storer owned
WAGA for years), some of its earliest managers came from WAGA,
and g.m. Eugene Bohi (1973-sometime in the '80s) and WXIA g.m.
Jeff Davidson (1976-mid '80s) had worked for the same company
(Sonderling Broadcasting) in the early '70s and both were on the
ABC affiliates' board before WXIA went to NBC. The schedules of
WGHP and WXIA were so similar when both were ABC affiliates that
I once asked local sales manager Mike Morris if that was intentional.
He admitted it was.
Back to WNAO for a minute: WFMY and WNAO are the first stations
I remember watching, and I still think that if UHF tuners had been
mandatory in WNAO's day, it would have survived the inroads of
WRAL. WNAO would have needed a boost to the west (Durham and
Chapel Hill), but I still recall it to have been, overall, a pretty good
station.

Chapel Hill), but I still recall it to have been, overall, a pretty good
station.
I believe WNAO was very popular in Raleigh---from my memory, they had near-universal
adoption in Wake County--in fact you still see many of the old "bow tie" antennas on older
buildings in Raleigh. But as you say, the problem was Durham and Chapel Hill where reception
would not have been nearly as good. WNAO ended up with the CBS affiliation which should have
been excellent, HOWEVER, WFMY in Greensboro was also CBS, and channel 2 was well recieved
in Durham and CHL, often without an outside antenna, which would have been required for
WNAO. Still, I think the real problem was that the News and Observer wanted out of the
broadcast business. They sold WNAO-AM-FM-TV to Holden of Greensboro who also owned
WTOB-AM-TV in Winston Salem. WTOB/channel 26 was already dark. I don't know whether the
N&O or Holden took 28 dark, but Holden held on to the licenses for both 26 and 28, in fact he
changed the calls of 28 to WKIX-TV!, even though it was off the air. WNAO-AM-FM, of course,
became the legendary WKIX-AM/FM, the wonderful top 40 station for the Triangle. Meanwhile
competition for the license for channel 8 in the triad was heating up and Holden's Southern
Broadcasting was one of the applicants. At the time, the FCC was known to give preference to
applicants who held permits for economically challenged UHF stations--and Southern had two!
Eventually, they awarded the CP to Southern rather than another applicant, Jefferson Pilot, who
had expected to get the CP because they had moved their channel 8 (WBTW) in Florence Sc to
make way for 8 in the Triad. The only stipulation was Southern (Holden) had to dispose of WKIX-
TV and WTOB-TV. I read about all this back in the 70s in accounts from old Broadcasting
Magazines I found at the University of SC/Columbia.
Growing up in Garner, I remember WKIX airing promos
for WGHP starting in 1963 (when WGHP went on the air),
although I didn't know then that they were sister stations
(I encountered another Southern duopoly in Birmingham
in the late '60s with WSGN radio/WBMG-TV).
And I agree that KIX was a great top-40 station, especially
when Mike Reineri was their morning man; while I think
WQXI Atlanta was the best top-40 station in the South, I'd
put KIX in the top three or four.

I don't remember exactly when TV's were required to have built in UHF tuners. I do recall that in
order to receive WOSU-34 from Columbus for a TV course my high school participated in that we
but a long Yagi on the roof and had one of those Blonder Tongue converters, about the size of a
small radio on top of the set. Later on that set which was our first got relegated as a second set
for the basement rec-room. This was probably like 56 or 57 and the new set we got had a built in
UHF tuner. It had two dials, the top for VHF and the lower one for UHF. You put the upper dial
which clicked from 2 to 12 in a position between 2 and 13 labeled UHF and used the lower dial
which worked kind of like a radio dial to get the UHF stations.
I wonder if those capped dials they mentioned on here were like that. The VHF tuners at the
time had tuned circuits that switched in as the dial turned, one for each channel. I think both of
those sets were Crosleys, I know the first one was. Later my Dad got a set for their bedroom that
had a kind of remote control. It consisted of a plastic tube that connected to the back of the set.
There was a rubber squeeze bulb on the other end that clicked the dial on channel everytime
you squeezed. The 13th position turned off the set and it only had VHF. There was no volume or
other control just that pneumatic gadget. That set was either by Sylvania or GE I think.
TV sets manufactured after July, 1964 were required by federal law to be UHF capable. Prior to
that time, most sets were available with UHF tuners for about $40 extra. The surprising thing
was that the new UHF/VHF sets offered in 1964 did not cost a penny more than the old VHF-only
sets.
Not surprising really. In major markets, UHF was probably a tough sell, and people would have
resented paying extra. Los Angeles, for instances, had 7 VHF stations - the three networks and 4
independents. Until about 1966, there were only three stations on UHF: a really low-rent indy
that went belly-up after less than 2 years; a Spanish language channel; and KCET, the NET (now
PBS) affiliate. NET was in it's early days and was not publicized widely. So unless your first
language was Spanish, UHF tuners were useless.

Two things I think are frequently forgotten about early UHF:
- While UHF tuners were required beginning in 1964, the tuners that were installed were pretty
bad. Free-running oscillator driving a diode mixer, only one (or *maybe* two) tuned circuits
before the mixer and no amplification until the IF. Hard to tune, hard to keep tuned, pretty
"deaf". Even if UHF tuners had been installed in TVs from the beginning in 1945, UHF stations
would have been at a disadvantage. But there's more:
- Station powers were a lot lower. By the 1960s most VHF stations were using the highest powers
permitted by FCC regulations - 100,000 watts on channels 2-6, 316,000 on 7-13. However, as
recently as 1966 *no* UHF station was running more than 1,000,000 watts - the limit is five
times that. Many UHF stations were running less than 100,000 watts, less than 1/50th of the
power the FCC would authorize.
So even if UHF tuners of equal quality to VHF tuners had been installed in TVs from the start,
UHF would *still* have been at a disadvantage due to low transmitter powers.

Re: RETRO BOSTON TV- THANKSGIVING 1988
Wow! How dated is this list that it goes back to when WLVI aired cartoons well into the 11 AM
hour!
And I'd be remissed if I didn't lament the late WNHT, silenced in mid-Sajak.

Re: Retro: Atlanta Saturday, August 26, 1978
The wrestling on WATL wasn't World Class; it wasn't nationally syndicated until 1982.

WATL Ch. 36 (Ind.)

3 PM Soap Factory Disco
Soap Factory also aired on Baltimore's WBFF-TV 45 as well.
I barely remember the show itself but I DO remember when a number of TV preachers went
after that show and DEMAND it be taken off the air because they felt the dancing the people did
on that show was "..people having sex with their clothes on !!". Oddly these same people never
did attack other similar shows like Soul Train and Dance Fever ( American Bandstand I can
somewhat see..the fear of Dick Clark and his lawyers ) but they did attack Soap Factory Disco. Go
figure !!!

Thank you for these memories... I can remember watching most of the shows on CBS Channel 5.
Waga was very kid friendly all thru my years of growing up. Lots of great cartoons. This was also
about to be the saddest time of my life, because in less than a month from Aug 26 1978 I would
lose my mom..I was 13 and it was hard. But once again thanks for taking me back to a very
simple time in my life.. It was fun.

I've forgotten now but Capral may have been the announcer on this show.

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati/Evansville Thursday, September 8, 196
I should add that CBS had a total of 24 hours of
coverage of the Rome Olympics. The total combined
coverage of the Beijing Olympics on U.S. networks
is 3600 hours.

I'm curious... Did they broadcast on both channels at this time, or did they switch to Channel 25
later. Also was Louisville in the Central Time zone at this time? I was born in 1967, and I seem to
remember seeing Walter Cronkite on at 5:30 one summer during the Nixon administration, but I
thought that was something new, perhaps due to the energy crisis. I also heard that the Bigham
family (then owners of WHAS TV and radio) was one of the supports of having Louisville in the
Eastern time zone. Any truth to this rumor?

No, they switched to Ch. 25 later; I put it parentheses
because many of you are more familiar with it on 25
than on 50.
At the time, Louisville was on Central time; I think the
change to Eastern was made in 1961 (my sixth-grade
teacher grew up in Louisville either in the late '40s or
early '50s and she could recall Louisville being on Central
time).
During the energy crisis of 1973-74 Kentucky refused to
go on year-round daylight-saving time; its location would

have had sunrise around 9 AM and played havoc with kids
boarding buses for school. During that period both Louisville
and Lexington stations followed Central Time schedules, which
is why you would have seen Cronkite at 5:30 instead of 6:30.
(WLKY continued to run Howard K. Smith and Harry Reasoner
at 6, but during this period they had the third, and not the
first, feed of ABC's newscast.)
I don't know about the rumor concerning the Binghams.

In the late 60's WEHT moved to Channel 25, somewhere I have the news release to pinpoint the
date. Also, WFIE began life on Channel 62 and moved to Channel 14 a few years later.
Also, it is worth noting Indiana didn't participate in DST for years. For commerce purposes the
counties near Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville and Southwest Indiana did participate. I worked for a
company that did business with Indiana counties that didn't participate while we in Kentucky
did. Six moths out of the year you had to remember your Indianan clients were on fast time.
Given the convoluted history of time in Indiana -- time zone changes and shifts, counties
"unofficially" observing DST (or not), areas switching back and forth from ET to CT over the years
-- I keep thinking of that Chicago song: "Does anyone really know what time it is?" In Indiana,
probably not. ;D
It was just in 2006 that the whole state of
Indiana went on DST, and then a few counties
switched from Eastern to Central time.
I remember that my dad worked for Dow Chemical
and would have to go to Indianapolis; he had difficulty
remembering that in the summer months Indianapolis
was an hour behind South Carolina, where we lived then.
Just for the record, there are a few cities and towns in
Alabama that observe Eastern time even though officially
they're on Central, such as Phenix City and Lanett. The
reason is the proximity to Columbus, GA.
There are also at least a couple of border towns in Nevada that unofficially observe Mountain
Time because their casino business comes predominantly from that time zone: Jackpot
(bordering Idaho) and West Wendover (bordering Utah). In addition, The Border Inn in Baker,
Nevada, is uniquely situated -- the motel rooms are in Utah (Mountain Time), while the office,
restaurant, and casino are in Nevada (Pacific Time). One has to assume that the clocks in the
hotel rooms are on MT.

Wow -- a whole 3 hours of programming. Boy, what would those early struggling UHFs do
without those public domain film shorts, huh? Odd that they are listed as ABC/DuMont, yet
there's not a single network show on the sked. (Except maybe "Warner Presents?" -- what was
that?)
Looking at this, it's not hard to imagine why so many early UHFs failed. I'm sure most folks in the
Bridgeport area could get at least watchable VHF signals from NYC and New Haven. Look at the
schedules -- what would YOU be watching that night? Would ANYONE be struggling with a balky
converter box to watch channel 43? Highly doubtful.

I see WRCA-TV's late afternoon movie show at this point was called Evening Theater. At what
point did it become Movie 4? (I'm guessing prior to March 1958.)
As to WABC-TV's Night Show (when exactly did that premiere?), that umbrella was used until
September 1963 when it was revamped as The Best of Broadway. That title first took effect at
the same time Channel 7 premiered their first attempt at a late-afternoon movie program, called
The Big Show, which was an ancestor to their fondly-remembered The 4:30 Movie. Unless their
1:00 Afternoon Show and 3:00 Film Festival were even earlier predecessors to The 4:30 Movie.
As to the Channel 43 listing for Warner Presents: This was Warner Bros. Presents which also
aired on WABC.

I've always been puzzled by the latter title when I've seen it in old listings. These were movies
showing on a TV station -- nothing to do with Broadway plays or musicals. And WABC-TV wasn't
located on Broadway at any time AFAIK. So where did the "Broadway" of the title fit in? Maybe
just "Broadway" in the sense of a generic concept of New York culture/glamour/history?

WBHist:
I think the 3:00 "Film Festival" You are referring to is the "Afternoon Film Festival"..A series of
British movies that actually ran on the ABC network in 1956-57, being replaced by American
Bandstand in August 1957.

WCBS 2-CBS New York
and I believe that 52 YEARS LATER, it's STILL on at 1:30 PM (but that's just MY memory...I don't
watch soap operas... )
Andrea
"As The World Turns" has aired at 2 PM since
1987; "The Bold And The Beautiful" airs on
CBS at 1:30.
"Warner Brothers Presents" started as a series
of three rotating shows (sort of like "NBC Mystery
Movie" in the '70s): "Cheyenne," "Casablanca,"
and "King's Row." The last ten minutes of the show
were devoted to "previews of coming attractions"--
Warner films at your local theater. The second year
(1956-57) only "Cheyenne" returned, alternating with
something called "Conflict," and the previews were
dropped. Year three, "Cheyenne" and "Sugarfoot"
alternated, joined in the 1958-59 season by "Bronco,"
a series hastily created when "Cheyenne" star Clint
Walker refused to work until he got the raise he demanded.

At least a few movies aired under this umbrella - such as the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer
Blondes - did start out on Broadway. And it's conceivable a few stars of the films shown also
appeared on Broadway within their respective careers. But I agree that this title didn't make that
much sense. (It was on TBOB, in 1967, that Hitchcock's Psycho was first shown on TV, B.T.W.)
And while WABC-TV itself was never located on Broadway, its AM radio sister powerhouse
("Musicradio 77") had their studios at 1926 Broadway between 1964 and 1966, after which they
moved to ABC's then-corporate headquarters of 1330 Avenue of the Americas.
...well, remember, Anthony Perkins was nominated for a Tony for his work in Look Homeward
Angel on Broadway a couple of years before making Psycho, so that umbrella theory about the
title fits in his case. As I recall, CBS had the rights to air Psycho prior to 1967 but Bill Paley himself
was scared to put the thing on TV, even that late in time...

TV Guide, at the time of WABC's first airing of Psycho, mentioned that CBS intended to air the
film earlier in the 1966-67 season, but chickened out. For years, Psycho aired, if at all, late at
night; only a decade or more later, by which time WOR-TV held the airing rights, was it shown in
the daytime.

NOTE: Boxing and "Make That Spare" necessitated
live coverage, hence the live feed one hour earlier
than EDT. Lawrence Welk aired live in all four time
zones, although some West Coast stations delayed
him until 9 PM (PT) (in LA he was on at 6). With
primetime starting at 7:30, ABC chose to air "Roaring
20's" in the EDT markets and "Leave It To Beaver" in
EST markets, holding "20's" until 10 PM (EST).
The pattern went something like this:

EDT 7:30 Roaring 20's
8:30 Leave It To Beaver
9 PM Lawrence Welk

For EST/CST stations, I suppose this allowed ABC not to have to
send them the delayed feed on Saturday nights, other than for
Roaring 20s. I don't recall if ABC had a late news feed (11 EDT)
then, but if they didn't they could just send Roaring 20s down the
regular line again at 11 EDT/10 EST and dispense with the alternate
feed entirely. Must have been a budgetary decision by whomever
were the "number crunchers" of that era, as conventional wisdom
would be to disrupt as few shows as possible, which could be done
by flipping only Welk and Boxing/Bowling on the EST/CST feed.
Closed circuit for bpatrick:
As to the left coast, since its "normal" feed was 6:00-9:30 PDT,
did you mean some stations delayed Welk until 9:30 (not 9)?
Would Prospect have re-fed the show 9:30-10:30 on tape for
those affils who preferred it then? It would be a "gold mine" if
someone can get a hold of summer 1961 ABC affil schedules in
SAN, LAS, SFO, RNO, PDX or SEA for Saturday nights.

As for the Mountain time zone...well let's not go there ;D other
than to say there was no daylight time in the zone in 1961,
except for a couple of isolated counties in MT and NM. (Can
anyone say "Los Alamos" and "Atomic Energy Commission"?)
I suspect they just took the EST/CST alternate feed and ran
everything "live" 5:30-9:00 MST.

Some West Coast stations would run "Leave It To Beaver"
at 8 or 8:30 (the other half-hour they took for themselves),
then Welk at 9, and "Roaring 20's" at 10. There was a great
deal of discrepancy; Los Angeles and San Diego had completely
different schedules. Just check the Los Angeles Times from 1961.
Stations on CDT were on the normal (EDT) 6:30-10 pattern; stations on
CST probably ran "Beaver" at 6:30, Welk at 7, boxing at 8, "Make
That Spare" at 8:45, and "Roaring 20's" at 9.
And I won't try to guess how the Mountain time zone dealt with this.
My most recent Knoxville and Chattanooga schedules are from around
1999 or 2000. I never did subscribe to the Knoxville-Chattanooga edition
of TV Guide.

Re: Retro: Atlanta Thursday, August 31, 1978
"11:30 Life Of Riley (I feel sure these are
the Bendix episodes)"

No doubt - where I lived (LA) , the Bendix "Riley" ran for years off-and-on in afternoon or late
night reruns - though I don't remember seeing it past the early 70s. There were 217 episodes of
this version filmed from 1953 to 1958 - on film, I'm sure. I had never even heard of the Gleason
version until I read about it on these boards.
I don't think there were many episodes of the Gleason version - all very early 50s - and likely
possibly kinescoped.
Gleason filmed 26 episodes in the 1949-50 season,
but they failed to generate much interest at the time;
his Riley was a lot closer to Ralph Kramden than the
Riley people were used to on the radio (played by
Bendix). It wasn't until the late '70s, when Gleason had
become acknowledged as one of the medium's true legends,
that his "Riley" episodes came out of mothballs; Channel 46
in Atlanta ran them at 6 PM on Saturdays in 1978, and I have
seen them on TVLand, although not in the past couple of years
or so.
By the late 70s, I had moved to the Bay Area - I'm quite sure the Gleason episodes never made it
here. Too bad - I'd like to see some of them....or some of the Bendix shows for that matter. I
remember really liking them as a young kid - already in daily reruns.
It's too bad Classic TV networks can't get into acquiring and showing forgotten shows like these -
instead of the same endless cycle of Jeannies, Andy Griffiths, Sanfords, etc.

Re: Retro: Atlanta Thursday, August 31, 1978
I don't think the Gleason "Riley"s had a
large syndication; as I said, there were
only 26 of them. But if you ever do get
to see them, you'll find Gleason's Riley
to be somewhat more realistic than Bendix's.
I like to say that you can almost see Ralph
Kramden taking shape inside Gleason's head.
Maybe someone will get smart and release
them on DVD.

Re: Retro: Western Ontario Wed, Aug 31, 1977
Western Ontario? This looks like Southern or SE Ontario to me. It may be west of Ottawa, but it
isn't the western part of the province. Isn't western Ontario the area above Lake Superior?
I would think that listings for Western Ontario would include cities like Sault Ste. Marie (ON and
MI), Thunder Bay, Kenora, and Duluth MN.

I think many Canadian s consider the southern part of Ontario as "Western Ontario" or even
"Southwestern Ontario", while the area including Kenora and Thunder Bay is known as
"Northwestern Ontario". In fact, the University of Western Ontario is based in London.

Re: Retro: Mobile/Biloxi/New Orleans Saturday, August 4, 1979
So, I'm assuming WGNO was carried on cable in Mobile. It's the only NOLA station listed. And
what's with all the other channel's listings ending at 9 PM? It is nice to see Saturday listings of
broadcast channels with no infomercials listed--actually some interesting programs, in addition
to sports, on Saturday afternoon...

Was WEWS using "Eyewitness News" in 65?
I have always heard that WEWS was one of the first stations outside of Westinghouse ( KYW,
WJZ, KPIK, WBZ and KDKA ) to use the name Eyewitness News. I know Buffalo's WKBW-TV was
using it as far back as 1968. Not sure when the ABC O&O's ( except KGO and WXYZ ) picked it up
though.

KYW used "Eyewitness News" in Cleveland from 1959-June 1965..WEWS may have begun to use
Eyewitness News as early as fall 68-spring 69 or as late as 1971..Id have to research more on it..

WABC-TV in New York was the first of the ABC O&O's to use the EWN title, in November of 1968.
(Their first slogan was, "If You Weren't There, We Were.") In January of 1969, KABC-TV in Los
Angeles followed, then around that time WLS-TV in Chicago -- which premiered an embryonic
preview thereof with (Fahey) Flynn/(Joel) Daly News prior to WABC's unveiling of the format -- at
first modified its title to Flynn/Daly Eyewitness News, before shaving off the anchors' names
from the title. In the case of WXYZ, it was forced to call its newscasts Action News because rival
WJBK had first dibs on the EWN title in the Motor City.
It should be noted that the specific edit of Lalo Schifrin's "Tar Sequence" cue from Cool Hand
Luke originated with WABC, and tape dubs of that edit were sent to WLS, WXYZ, and Sydney,
Australia's TCN 9 (in the latter case, for their National Nine News). KABC and KGO did their own
edits (and thus sounded a bit clearer), though KGO's had more in common with WABC's than
was the case with KABC. The one to use the WABC edit longest had to be WXYZ, even past the
time the station was sold to WEWS' owner Scripps-Howard (definitely as of 1986, probably into
the early '90's). WLS was the first to dump it, in 1980, in favor of Frank Gari's Seven on Your Side
package, and WABC used their own edit up to 1983 when Mr. Gari's News Series 2000 first came
into use.

Yup, Steve Allen--in one of his comedy bits as a TV newscaster.

2 PM Movie: "7 Dwarfs To The Rescue" (I

Per IMDB, it is a dubbed 1951 live-action Italian monstrosity (original title "Sette nani alla
riscossa") that one reviewer on the site calls "an amazingly campy piece of cheap schlock." Yes,
its is supposed to be loosely based on the Grimms tale, though they took more than their share
of liberties. (Apparently, one running "gag" involves an enormously fat woman falling onto one
of the dwarfs...now, that's comedy!) :-\
12:30 Movie: "The Abominable Snowman Of
The Himalayas" ("and I will call him George")
Nice Bugs/Daffy reference there -- one of my favorite late Looney Tunes. I love Daffy's deadpan,
but barely controlled responses as the SNowman is manhandling him. ("You're hurting me....put
me down, pleathe...")

Re: New York City January 1945
...I have an aircheck from WEAF, NBC's New York radio station, from 6 June 1944 (D-Day) that
contains a promo spot for an H.V. Kaltenborn special on WNBT that night about the Allied
invasion of Nazi-occupied France. If that isn't the first radio promo for a TV show, it certainly has
to be the oldest existing -- or does anyone know of any older airchecks with similar plugs over
either WEAF or WABC (now WCBS)?...

Re: Retro: Alabama, July 30, 1970
Thanks for the memories, since I was living
in Birmingham at the time. I keep thinking
that, at one point, Channel 40 carried Cronkite
at 6, but from the way you have their schedule
listed, I don't think it was in July 1970.
This was after Channel 13 became full-time NBC
and Channels 40 and 42, full-time CBS, yet I see
"The Bold Ones" listed on delay on 13. I don't
remember now, so what did 13 carry on Sundays
at 9 (CT), when "The Bold Ones" aired on NBC?
If you have any more, especially from fall 1972 to
the end of 1979, I'd love to see them.

From wikipedia:
When WBMG-TV (channel 42, now WIAT) started telecasting in 1965, it nominally had a CBS
affiliation, but CBS allowed WAPI-TV to continue airing its higher-rated programming. This was
largely because WBMG had only started one year after the Federal Communications Commission
required that new television sets include all-channel tuning. To fill out the schedule, WBMG
aired some NBC programming that WAPI-TV turned down (such as The Tonight Show). Both
stations listed "CBS/NBC" as their affiliation. However, in May 1970, for a number of reasons,
WAPI-TV became the exclusive NBC affiliate, sending all of CBS's programming to WBMG. At the
same time that channel 13 became an exclusive affiliate of NBC and WBMG aligned with CBS,
WCFT in Tuscaloosa, Alabama (33)and WHMA in Anniston, Alabama (40) also affiliated with CBS.
Prior to that time, the primetime schedule of WCFT and WHMA virtually mirrored that of
WBMG.

"Cousin" Cliff Holman passed away Monday evening (Sept. 8th). He'd suffered from Alzheimer's
in recent years.
He was on then WAPI-TV 13 for much of his career, and left the station in August 1969 after
Channel 13 moved his daily hour-long Popeye/Three Stooges show from its live 4 PM timeslot to
a 30-minute tape-delay at 8:30 in the morning.
From there he went to Anniston to help put Channel 40 on the air. In addition to serving as
WHMA-TV's Promotion Director, he was able to again have a live afternoon show. But even 40
couldn't keep up that kind of program, and The Cousin Cliff Show ended late in 1972.

Re: Retro:Detroit/Western Lower Michigan/Toledo Monday, January 19, 1953
Cunningham's News Ace started in the '30s on
WXYZ radio; two of them were Mike Wallace and
Douglas Edwards. Cunningham's was a local
drugstore in Detroit.
I notice you have I Love Lucy listed twice on
Ch. 2. Wouldn't Lux Video Theater have been
on at 8, since Lucy came on at 9?
I also saw a listing for a program with Betty Clooney.
She was one of George Clooney's aunts; in fact, I
think she was the oldest. In order of birth, I believe
they were: Betty, Rosemary, Nick (George's dad),
and Gail. Gail never had much of a career; Nick is
best remembered as host of "The Money Maze" and
for his work on AMC. He's also a columnist and radio
personality in Cincinnati, and lost a race for Congress
a couple of years back (he's a Democrat, and his home
district in northern Kentucky is heavily Republican).

Re: Retro:Detroit/Western Lower Michigan/Toledo Monday, January 19, 1953
BPatrick:
I misread the Listing for I Love Lucy on Channel 2 at first. I thought I had corrected it.
Here is the correct WJBK-2 Prime Time Schedule
8PM Lux Video Theatre
8:30 Talent Scouts
9PM I Love Lucy-Little Ricky is born
9:30 Red Buttons
10PM Studio One
I suspected Betty Clooney was related to Rosemary, etc.
Thanks for catching the error..

Thanks for posting this. Did this TV Guide edition only list KELO in Sioux Falls or was KSOO-TV not
on the air yet? Or channel 5 in Mitchell? I didn't realize there were so few stations in
Nebraksa/South Dakota as late as 1960.
According to Wikipedia, KSOO-TV was still a couple of months away, it didn't sign-on until July
31st. KORN Mitchell also signed-on in '60, wasn't able to nail a date down on the Web (Wiki
didn't have the date either).
I've got a date now for KORN- according to the Broadcasting & Cable Yearbook, channel 5 beat
KSOO by just over a month and a half- KORN signed-on June 12/60.

is significant to me because it was the first one
I bought as a student at UGA (although I'd been

far back as 1969).

Canadians knew this series as "Here Come the Seventies" -- this series, produced for CTV, was
about things and events that would exist during the course of that decade. Apparently, for
syndication outside the US, they decided to give themselves a little more room on the timeline.

Re: Retro: Atlanta Saturday, September 15, 1973
They could have given themselves until doomsday
and it wouldn't have mattered; the show wasn't
that big of a hit in the U.S. When it came to

syndicated documentaries, U.S. viewers tended
to prefer the nature shows: "Wild Kingdom," "Wild
Wild World Of Animals," "World Of Survival," etc.
Slightly off-topic but the mention of "World Of Survival"
reminded me that for a time in 1980-81 John Forsythe had
four projects at once: narrating this show, playing Blake
Carrington on "Dynasty," doing the voice of Charlie Townsend
on "Charlie's Angels," and doing commercials for Michelob.
The man must have written the book on time management.

Re: Retro: Nebraska/Sioux Falls/Sioux City Wed, Apr 13, 1960
I believe Sioux City's KVTV channel 9 has a place in rock & roll history. The wife of Roger Peterson
worked there. Roger Peterson was the pilot who flew the plane which carried not only himself
but Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper to their deaths. Peterson's wife got word
about the plane crash when the police stopped by KVTV and told her what happened. According
to a book about the crash I remember reading ( there were so many ), she had a "funny feeling"
when she saw the police showed up that her husband was dead.

Very interesting lineup!!
Anyone have anymore classic lineups?? (From 1947 or earlier)
Considering there were a total of 18 stations (16 commercial, 2 experimental) on the air in 11
cities as of the end of 1947, there probably aren't too many available.

Uh, listings before 1947 would probably fall under the category of something called "radio".

This probably sums up TV in 1947:
2:00 PM - Test Pattern
4:00 PM - Cooking Show
4:30 PM - Cartoons
5:00 PM - Film
5:30 PM - Film
6:00 PM - News
6:15 PM - Film
6:30 PM - Local variety show
7:00 PM - Wrestling
8:30 PM - Boxing
10:00 PM - News
10:05 PM - Test Pattern
10:15 PM - Sign off
Network programming (just NBC & Dumont then - CBS & ABC didn't start their TV networks until
1948), was sparse. Neither network had a daily schedule as yet.

Too bad video tape had not been invented yet, it would have been interesting to see what the TV
signal was like back then. What films did they show back then? I wonder what would they have
looked like on the TV screen, as they were picked up by the camera on the ancient film chains.

Believe it or not, about ten years BEFORE these listings, NBC-TV in its experimental days aired a
play . The play wasn't much but someone, somewhere did film the play right off the TV set as it
was airing live. The film ( no sound BTW ) is available at the Museum of TV & Radio in New York
City and from what I heard the picture quality was fantastic and we are talking the late 30's
here !!!

OK, here's what I think may be the most bizarre story in TV history:
In 1936, the BBC began testing TV broadcasts from London.
RCA got wind of the tests and decided it would be interesting to see if they could receive the BBC
telecasts in New York. They built a BBC-standards TV receiver & began monitoring.
In 1938, they succeeded.
And they filmed their trans-Atlantic TV reception.
You can view the film online.
http://www.apts.org.uk/recording.htm - 1938 BBC TV, recorded in New York!
What films did they show back then?
Basically, B-grade Westerns and other Poverty Row films; back then, the major studios avoided
television like the plague.
Other than Paramount, who owned WBKB Chicago (having bought Balaban & Katz) and KTLA Los
Angeles, as well as part of Dumont, which as we all know, totally screwed Dumont over with the
FCC.
They even tried to start their own network in the late '40s but it never really got off the ground -
5 shows (the best-known being A Time for Beany, the original puppet version of Beany & Cecil)
to 40 stations in 1950 was its peak.

One wonders what might have happened if it werent for World War II..Television development
might have been accelerated on both sides of the Atlantic..And Maybe hastened the demise of
Network radio as it was known then..Shows and talent might have migrated to TV earlier..Not to
mention stations built sooner in more cities..Interesting possibilites..

I feel certain that all of these programs were seen in New York.

1946. Primetime ended at 11 PM, and the only daytime programming was college football on
CBS and NBC on Saturdays.
I feel certain that all of these programs were seen in New York.
In the case of CBS, that would be only New York, since CBS didn't start feeding programs to other
stations until 1947, and the CBS Television Network didn't formally start until the spring of 1948.
I would imagine within New York City the singal was good.

I have seen that film. I viewed it at the MTR. It is fascinating and dissappointing at the same
time. There is no sound, but the picture quality is as good as any post-war kinescope.
Dissappointing, in that you would hope to see more---like, the pre-and post-broadcast stuff---
mainly, station ID (if such a thing existed).
Yes, it would be very cool to see what a broadcast day actually looked like in the late 40's---to see
the commercials, the station breaks, all the continuity between shows...The kinescope process
was not perfected until 1947, so films of TV broadcasts from before that are very rare. And at
that time, TV people didn't even think what they were doing was worth saving, much less the
"continuity" of a typical broadcast day.
Anyone know where we can view such material? There is a 1955 kinescope of a WLWT weather
forecast on Youtube, which shows a couple commercials, a station ID slide, then the 5-minute
forecast...That's the closest I've come to seeing a portion of a broadcast day from that era.
There's also a Youtube link to the final Howdy Doody episode---the original network broadcast. It
includes a mid-show net ID slide for station break, plus at the end of the show, the network
promo (just a couple slides) for the movie "International Velvet" that aired the following Sunday
night. "Eight eastern and pacific, 7 central, on NBC!" Good stuff!

Are you sure it wasn't a promo for the series
"National Velvet"? In its first season (1960-61)
it aired on NBC Sundays at 8/7 Central, moving
to Mondays at the same hour for 1961-62.
And to the poster who commented on the 1946
schedule: CBS's programs would have been seen
only in New York. NBC had three stations (New
York, Philadelphia, and Schenectady; I'm not sure
if Washington was on the air yet). DuMont had
New York and Washington; ABC, to my knowledge,
had no television affiliates (New York's Channel 7
didn't go on until 1948), at least not hooked into
the coaxial cable. IIRC, ABC produced its shows
at either DuMont's facilities or at WRGB.
I do know that the second Joe Louis-Billy Conn fight
was televised that year by NBC, but since Washington
didn't have an NBC affiliate at the time of the fight,
WTTG carried it there. (ABC carried it on radio to

a record--for ABC, if not for radio--168 stations.)

Here is a post I did a month ago for the "Bill Randle Show..On WEWS-TV 5.There's a link to the
only surviving audio of this show..March 4, 1956..
http://www.radio-info.com/smf/index....html#msg800143
Unfortunately nothing before or after the show..
Ah. Did not know it was the TV show. I sit corrected! BTW...Those promo slides I spoke of were in
color, too (makes sense, since Howdy Doody was in color).
And ABC, knowing it would sooner or later get into the TV business, rented out studios before
it's network flagship station -- WJZ NYC--went on the air in 1948, so its personnel could get the
feel for producing TV.

The mid-show I.D. on that Howdy Doody series finale was voiced by Bill Hanrahan, who within a
few years became the "Voice of NBC News." The promo for the upcoming National Velvet series
was V/O'd by the late Bob Waldrop - who one night in 1960 after the network's New York
flagship changed call letters from WRCA-TV to WNBC-TV did a sign-off that was recorded by one
Jerry Immel, and is now on J. Alan Wall's TV Signoffs site in a section dealing with audio-only
sign-offs of TV stations from the mid-to-late 1950's to early '60's.

And to the poster who commented on the 1946 schedule: CBS's programs would have been seen
only in New York.
As I said earlier, CBS didn't begin feeding programs to other stations until 1947. Per CBS's own
website, those cities were Philly (WPTZ 3 or WFIL-TV 6), Washington (WMAL-TV 7), and
Baltimore (WMAR-TV 2). The stations are my guesses as CBS doesn't mention the actual stations,
but those were on the air in '47 and not owned by NBC or Dumont. They don't call this the
beginning of their official network, however.
Per their website, WCAU-TV 10 Philly was the first "official" CBS-TV Network affiliate (other than
WCBS-TV of course) when it formally began in '48.
NBC had three stations (New York, Philadelphia, and Schenectady; I'm not sure if Washington
was on the air yet). DuMont had New York and Washington;
WNBW Ch. 4 Washington went on the air on 6/27/47.
ABC, to my knowledge, had no television affiliates (New York's Channel 7 didn't go on until
1948), at least not hooked into the coaxial cable. IIRC, ABC produced its shows at either
DuMont's facilities or at WRGB.
WJZ-TV Ch. 7 hit the air in August 1948. WENR-TV Ch. 7 Chicago went on about a month later.
Before that, what few ABC network shows existed were produced by Dumont (but used ABC
personnel, IIRC) and aired on their stations in NYC and Washington, plus WFIL-TV Philadelphia.
I do know that the second Joe Louis-Billy Conn fight was televised that year by NBC, but since
Washington didn't have an NBC affiliate at the time of the fight, WTTG carried it there. (ABC
carried it on radio to a record--for ABC, if not for radio--168 stations.)
For the record, this fight was on June 19, 1946 at Yankee Stadium. If it was broadcast in
Washington, it would have had to have been on WTTG.
Jerry Immel was also the source of the Bill Randle Show referenced above (or on the previous
page)
..There are also Cleveland and other areas' sign off clips on tvsign-offs.com courtesy of Mr. Immel
...September 17, 1948, to be precise. WNBQ/5 followed on October 8, 1948, and from then to
1953, WENR-TV and WNBQ shared the same Merchandise Mart studios. When Balaban-Katz
Broadcasting sold the license and transmitter of WBKB-TV/4 to CBS in '53, those call letters were
changed to WBBM-TV and the station moved to Channel 2 and new studios on McClurg Court.
Balaban-Katz's parent company, United Paramount Theaters, had just merged with ABC and held
onto the studio site at the old Lake Theater, moving WENR-TV out of the Merchandise Mart over
to those studios and replacing the call letters WBKB on Channel 7....
I remember Jerry Immel doing WXIA's promos
in the late '70s. On the closing credits of the
Atlanta Emmy Awards they'd mention that he
was the announcer.
And to the poster who commented on the 1946 schedule: CBS's programs would have been seen

Washington, it would have had to have been on WTTG.
Which, if you'll notice, it was.
When Ted Mack's Amateur Hour debuted on DuMont, January 18, 1948, two of the four stations
that carried that first show were DuMont secondary affiliates: WFIL and WMAR. DuMont o&os
WABD (now WNYW) and WTTG also carried that show.
Milton Berle had the largest station lineup for 1948:
WBZ Boston
WRGB Schenectady
WNBC (or whatever it was then) New York
WPTZ Philadelphia
WBAL Baltimore
WNBW (WRC) Washington, DC
WTVR Richmond
Ed Sullivan had six: WCBS, WCAU, WMAR, WMAL (I think),
and I don't know what the other two were.

I've been in contact with Mr. Immel by email in recent months...He's a real good guy..He was on
the announcing staff at WEWS-TV 5 Cleveland in the mid 1960's..

Hi everyone:

Network radio as it was known then..Shows and talent might have migrated to TV earlier..Not to
mention stations built sooner in more cities..Interesting possibilites..
I seriously doubt TV would've had an affect on radio before 1950 anyway since TV will still a
behemoth of a monster to figure out. WWII just simply bought RCA, GE and other manufacturers
time to figure it out without making fools of themselves because their primary focus was on
helping our fighting forces win the war (As it should've been!).
Would there have more shows sooner? Would there have been more channels and networks?
Perhaps and perhaps. But either way, the effect on radio wouldn't have been seriously felt
before 1950 anyway.

If Buffalo-to-Chicago was connected by coaxial cable to Boston-to-Richmond,
then that's probably true, but I thought the two cable links were joined early
in 1949 (in time for Harry Truman's inauguration, in fact).

1:00 PM Secret Storm
No Young and the Restless on WAGA? I think that you may have mentioned that WAGA did not
carry Young and the Restless in the early years but refresh mine and everyone else's memory
when WAGA started carrying Young and the Restless. Also Secret Storm would be history by
early 1974.

WAGA picked up Y&R in July 1976. It aired
in Atlanta at 1 PM, meaning it aired in pattern
when it first went to an hour in February 1980
but not while it was still a half-hour. It has
aired at 12:30, first on WAGA, now on WGCL,
since CBS moved it there in mid-1981.
WAGA was not the only CBS affiliate to carry
Secret Storm instead of Y&R; WDBO (now WKMG)/6
Orlando did the same thing. After all, even though
Secret Storm was on the verge of cancellation in 1973,
it still had viewers who had followed it since 1954 at the
earliest; Y&R was still new.
As for the other two CBS affiliates in the North Georgia
Edition, WDEF/12 Chattanooga didn't start carrying Y&R
until around the same time WAGA did and it, too, aired it
at 1 PM (it has aired in pattern since 1980); WMAZ/13
Macon aired it at noon from the beginning and has always

aired it in pattern regardless of timeslot.

When Y&R first started as a half-hour at 12:00 ET and the
local hole was (only) at 1:00 ET, it's almost like an "alternate"
pattern for eastern time zone stations to delay Y&R until 1,
as apparently a number of them did, especially if they wanted
a noon newscast. The local news being a natural break, if you
will, between the game shows and the soaps.
In that (pre one-hour Y&R) era, did CBS ever do a second feed
of it at 1:00 ET just for this purpose, or were they still feeding
the next morning's Sunrise Surprise from 1-1:30?
And have we ever gotten an answer as to whether ABC now does
an alternate feed of AMC 12-1 ET, so CT stations can have
a noon news and not have to air the soap on a one-DB?

Castleman and Podrazik show CBS feeding "Sunrise
Semester" at 1 PM (noon starting in 1980), so apparently
there was no alternate 1 PM feed of "Y&R," although it
was logical for affiliates with noon newscasts to delay the
show an hour since, as you say, there was nothing in the
1-1:30 slot on CBS (until 1980). BTW, I don't know of any
affiliates that carried "Sunrise Semester" at 1 PM or noon.
And the Central Time Zone ABC affiliates that show "All
My Children" on a one-day delay at 11 AM are still doing so;
ABC has not supplied an alternate feed.

No ESPN then (not until 1979), but surprisingly,
no SWC game.

That schedule brought back many memories. I was a preschooler at the time, and can certainly
remember getting up and
watching the Three Stooges on WTAE (which my mother always tried to stop, since she was
convinced that it would inspire
her kids to hit each other with hammers and poke each others eyes out). I would then watch
Captain Kangaroo, and then
flip over to Captain Jim on 11, and then the Lucy/Hillbillies back on 2. And we all watched
Adventuretime in the afternoons.
We were fortunate in that we lived high enough on a hill to get good signals out of Wheeling and
Steubenville (though not
Altoona/Johnstown). The Flintstones and Star Trek were two of my favorites on 9. And the Bozo
show mentioned on
53 was not locally produced. It was taped at Pat Robertson's CBN station in Portsmouth, VA and
sent out on tape.
(I remember that after the cartoons, Bozo would suddenly and without warning whip out his
Bible and begin preaching).

WAVE/3/Louisville must have been airing a few ABC programs, in addition to NBC, prior to
WLKY's sign on in 1961. I notice "The Real McCoys" which I believe was an ABC show, listed in
the WAVE log for 10:30. I believe the Real McCoys aired at 7:30 or 8:00 eastern time on the
regular ABC schedule.

Both WAVE and WHAS carried a few ABC shows
(WAVE more than WHAS), but for some reason
the local edition of TV Guide never listed WAVE
as NBC/ABC or WHAS as CBS/ABC, although it
did with WLEX and WKYT.
Of course, today WHAS is the ABC affiliate in
Louisville.

Tim, I think Solid Gold aired the same episode on Saturday in most markets,
so the episode on 11 was probably the same as on 31.
What about the one on Channel 2 that aired at the exact same time?
Good stuff. Can I see a weekday of listings from this area, also in the 80's?
Yes, I think the one on channel 2 was probably the same as on channels 11 and 31
When did ABC start its 1984-85 Saturday morning schedule?
NBC and CBS launched their Sat am skeds the following week.
I believe the last episode of Walt Disney aired on CBS on September 24, 1983

I notice there is spillover from Buffalo and Syracuse here. What areas
did the Western New York edition of TV Guide cover and what areas
did the Syracuse edition cover?
The Western NY edition was always something of an anomaly. There was a Buffalo Metro edition
that listed ONLY the stations that were on Adelphia (now TWC) in Buffalo - effectively, just the
Buffalo and a handful of Toronto stations. There was a Rochester edition that listed all of
Rochester, the Vs from Buffalo, the Vs and older Us (24, later 68) from Syracuse and CJOH-6 from
Deseronto.
And then there were those folks in that big swath of western NY outside metro Rochester and
beyond metro Buffalo. For them, there was the Western NY edition, distributed in places such as
Olean, Jamestown and Batavia. It listed all of Buffalo and Rochester, a handful of Toronto
stations, the major Erie stations (at least 12/24/35 if memory serves), and may also have had
18/36 Elmira, though the memory fails a bit now.
Toward the end of TV Guide's local editions, things were reshuffled a bit. The Buffalo edition was
explicitly branded as an Adelphia edition, complete with cable channel numbers. The Rochester
edition ended up, for a bit, branded as a Time Warner edition. (There was some test-marketing
going on over the years here, including a run with the "large-format" TV Guide many years
before it became a national reality.) And then, about a year before it all ended, Rochester was
merged with Western NY, which meant that we suddenly saw listings for Erie and Elmira here in
Rochester. At the same time, TVG stopped printing a channel listings page, which meant nobody
here had ANY clue what those mysterious "18" and "35" listings were for.
The rest of the lines? The Syracuse edition started to be sold somewhere around Geneva going
east, and covered the Syracuse and Utica markets. I think it also covered the Watertown market,
since the next edition going north and east was Vermont. (Due east, the Albany edition picked
up somewhere between Herkimer and Johnstown.)
Going south, the western NY edition crossed the PA line into the parts of the northern tier of PA
(Warren, Coudersport, etc) that are served by Buffalo TV. The New York/Pennsylvania edition
covered the Elmira and Binghamton markets, with listings for those markets as well as Syracuse,
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and a handful of NYC stations.
I don't recall where NY/Penn gave way to Central Penn - the Scranton stations were listed in
both, for sure.

I think the last few years of the new Western NY edition also had listings for Johnstown/Altoona
(at least 3/6/10).

The last version of Penn-York (as I called it) as sold as far north as the St. Lawrence valley, which
included the Watertown and Kingston/Deseronto channels.

Neither of these jibe with my recollection. I'm quite certain the Johnstown/Altoona channels
weren't in the TVG we got up here in Rochester in the final years, which certainly appeared to be
an amalgamation of the former Rochester and WNY editions. There's some pretty intense terrain
between western NY and the Johnstown/Altoona market, and very little area, if any, where
reception would overlap between those stations and anything that would be listed in WNY.
As for the last version of Penn-York, I might not have bought any in the final days (though since I
have family in Binghamton, that was an edition with which I was very familiar over the years) - in
any event, I don't recall having ever seen Watertown listed there. That would have created quite
the ungainly edition, since the St. Lawrence Valley sees not only Watertown (7/16/50) and
Kingston/Deseronto (6/11), but also Ottawa and WPTZ/WCFE - a totally separate family of
stations from the Syracuse/Elmira/Bingo/SWB listings from the "classic" Penn-York edition.

Actually, WPTZ, WCFE and the Ottawa channels (save for CJOH, via Deseronto) were never listed
in Penn-York -- eastern St. Lawrence County, including Massena, was part of the Vermont TVG
territory, which makes sense, as the local Time Warner system carries WPTZ, CJOH and CBOT. On
the western side of the county (including Ogdensburg), the systems carry WSTM and CKWS
(instead of WPTZ and CBOT, respectively), and was in the Syracuse (later, Penn-York) TVG area.

Re:Macon Sunday, October 14, 1962
The 11am church service listed on 13WMAZ was, and still is, Mabel White Memorial Baptist
Church. Their first broadcast was on Sunday, October 5, 1958. It's one of the longest-running
weekly local church broadcasts in America. The 50th anniversary celebration aired a couple of
Sundays ago on October 5, 2008.
Was television station WLW-A still around then?
Oh, it was. Only it was WAII then.

WTTV, Channel 4, had a nice signal that could be received in parts of the Greater Cincinnati area.
They aired sports events that were not available on other stations. I remember even back then,
they had a tower well over 1,000 feet tall.

Their tower is about 1250 feet high (not sure about the exact HAAT) in Trafalgar, about 25 miles
due south of Indianapolis. Bloomington-licensed WCLJ/42 and WIPX/63 also transmit from
there, although I don't believe they are on the exact same site.
But WTTV couldn't (and doesn't) cover the north side of the Indy market very well. That's why
they lost their network affiliations (NBC to start, then ABC in 1956-57). They have to cover
Bloomington (their COL) as well as Indianapolis, so they bought then-WWKI/29 in Kokomo in the
'80s, and made it a satellite station (WTTK) to cover the north end of the market. I was able to
watch WTTK in NW-suburban Chicago fairly regularly back then, so it had a pretty decent signal
(and I had a pretty decent antenna. ;D ).
At least it was better than their original setup on Channel 10 - a fairly short tower (less than 100
feet high, IIRC) attached to their studio building behind the main Sarkes Tarzian plant on the
south side of Bloomington.
Linked images courtesy of Broadcasting101.ws:
WTTV Channel 10 Facilities circa 1952 (judging by the cars parked outside).
WTTV had a very small studio!
More pictures from Indy-area stations
13 - Uncle Al (from WLWT Cincinnati)
This would have been via the ABC network feed of Uncle Al. The local Cincinnati version of Uncle
Al was at WCPO, not WLW-T.
The original listing just said "From Cincinnati." Since WLWI and WLWT were co-owned, I assumed
(apparently incorrectly) that this show, like Midwestern Hayride, came from WLWT.
All network references I made were from memory and a minimal amount of research. I had very
little info about ABC shows compared to those from CBS and NBC.
Even the CBS reference for the Cards-Steelers game is somewhat questionable since CBS didn't
sign a full TV deal with the NFL until 1962. Individual teams did sign deals with the networks,
however, and this may have been a local broadcast from WBBM-TV Chicago sent to other CBS
affiliates in the midwest, rather a nationwide CBS network game.
Even when it was owned by Crosley/AVCO and carried shows from WLW-T like Ruth Lyons and
Mid-
Western Hayride, WLW-I was an ABC-TV affiliate.

...I see from the source site that WANE/15 Ft. Wayne also carried the game, and they were (and
are still) a CBS affiliate, so your idea of a WBBM-produced game being sent out to regional CBS
affiliates is certainly plausible. On the other hand, I notice that two of the stations carrying the
game are also affiliated with other networks as well, CBS affiliate WCIA/3 Champaign didn't carry
the game (they carried the U of Illinois-College of the Pacific basketball game instead), Du Mont
had carried NFL games in the years before their folding, and this was less than a year before ABC
began its first prime-time NFL schedule. So, could it also be possible that the game was produced
by WGN-TV/9 or WBKB/7 in Chicago, and the CBS affiliations of the Indiana stations carrying the
game were merely coincidental to their picking it up?...

The Cards-Steelers game had to have been either the last or next-to-last game ever for the
Chicago Cardinals before they moved to St. Louis. Also, unless I missed it, I didn't see longtime
Indy kids show host Harlow Hickenlooper listed anywhere.

Seems 1958 was before Harlow's time in Indy. Check out http://harlowhickenlooper.com.
Chicago Cardinals before they moved to St. Louis.
The Cardinals moved to St. Louis for the 1960 season, but 1958 was their last year at Comiskey
Park. They played at Soldier Field in 1959.
Also, unless I missed it, I didn't see longtime Indy kids show host Harlow Hickenlooper listed
anywhere.
IIRC, Fryar did radio in Indy before joining Channel 6 in 1960. WIBC, I think.

Park. They played at Soldier Field in 1959.Silly me...Weren't the Cards the South Side's team
pretty much during their time in Chitown? The Bears still played most of their games at Wrigley
at this time, didn't they?

I still miss the announcers who did their NFL team's games over their own newtworks before
everything went to the nation networks in 1968. The Cleveland Browns were seen here in
Cincinnati with Ken Coleman & Warren Lahr. On another channel here one season the Bears'
games were featured with Red Grange doing the announcing. Another year, that channel had the
Lions with Van Patrick. Apparently, Indiana, that did not have an NFL club at that time, got both
Chicago teams on TV.

Yes. Da Bears played at Wrigley until moving to Soldier Field in 1970. Wrigley Field was too small
by NFL standards (50,000 seats minimum - it held about 45,000 for football) and didn't have
lights yet, so Monday Night Football games there were impossible.
The Cards were, depending on which urban legend you believe, (1) kicked out of Comiskey Park
by new White Sox owner Bill Veeck, or (2) left on their own but needed to play in Chicago one
more season before moving to St. Louis.
I'm not old enough to remember the Cards in Chicago, but I became a Bear fan because they
were always on TV in Indy. Somebody there can elaborate/correct, but when the Colts arrived
from Baltimore, it probably took a long time to win the fans over since that was Bear country
previously. Almost everybody I grew up with was a Bear fan if they followed the NFL. Of course,
it didn't help that the Colts were horrible and owned by the inept/bizarre/senile Bob Irsay at the
time (Irsay in the mid '80s was like Al Davis today). ;D

Hal Fryar did TV and presumably Radio work in Youngstown, Ohio at WFMJ-TV 73/21 and WFMJ-
AM Radio from at least 1953-57, Hosting a show called "Hal's a Poppin" and playing kiddie host
"Captain Hal" featuring Popeye Cartoons..

At the time AVCO (Crosley) owned three NBC and
two ABC affiliates; the NBC ones were WLW-T
Cincinnati, WLW-C Columbus, and WLW-D Dayton.
The ABC ones were WLW-I and WLW-A Atlanta.
WLW-I (now WTHR) and WLW-A (now WXIA) are
NBC affiliates today, and WLW-D (now WDTN)
switched from ABC back to NBC four years ago.
Of course, all five stations have different ownership
now, and except for WLWT, different call letters
(WLW-C is WCMH).
As for the NFL games, I'm not sure exactly how
that worked. In North Carolina, Redskins games
came on all the CBS affiliates even in 1958, while
Colts (then in Baltimore) games were on the NBC ones.
We simply considered the 'Skins to be on CBS and
the Colts to be on NBC.

Re: Retro: Phoenix, AZ, Wednesday, October 1, 1952
Boxing was more than likely on CBS. Their Wednesday-
night telecasts were called "Blue Ribbon Bouts" (sponsored
by Pabst Blue Ribbon), and even more memorable than most
of the fights were Bill Nimmo's commercials as Bill the Bartender.
In 1955, ABC picked up the fights (still sponsored by Pabst) and
renamed the show the "Wednesday Night Fights."
Retro: Arizona - Sunday, October 4, 1954
Courtesy of Broadcasting 101.
This is the last full season of the Dumont network. All Arizona stations carried some ABC &
Dumont programming. KOOL-TV was ABC primary even though Channels 5 & 12 also carried a
few ABC shows. KIVA-TV Yuma was "officially" an independent since it didn't have a coax or
microwave link to the networks at the time.
Fooball games other than the Cards-Browns are my guesses. There were only three games that
day per ESPN's Pro Football Encyclopedia. All 3 are shown here. A live game shown in Phoenix
other than a network game on Dumont would probably have involved the Rams.

Channel 12 is listed on the originating site as KVAR, although I believe the call letter change
occured in 1955.

SF/LA would have been an 11:00am PT start time--did the TV nets have that
amount of influence back in '54 to start left coast games so early?

Channels 4/12 and 5 at 5:00pm and 5 and 12 at 6:00pm were live net.
As for 13 at 5:00pm, I think it's an error by KOPO-TV when they gave
their advance listings to whatever TV mag or newspaper this was in.
Ed would have been on at 5:00 two weeks prior, but at 6:00 both the
week before and here, as DST ended the last Sunday in September.
Sidebar: in 1954, DST did run--for the first time--until the last Sunday
in October in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
That would have been weird having prime time from 8:30-midnight for
a month in Boston!
1955 was the first year that a number of areas (New York, the rest of
the northeast, Chicago, other areas...but not Cali) extended DST until
the end of October.

Boy, the mish-mash of varying DST rules really screwed things up before the (more or less)
uniform rules were passed, didn't they? What I always found weird were situations in which
areas of adjacent time zones would at times in the fall been 2 hours apart, because the more
westerly area had already "fallen back" to standard time (or didn't observe DST at all) while the
easterly area had not. I first encountered this years ago in a book about the Civil Rights
movement...when all the brouhaha was going on with James Meredith's attempt to enroll at Ole
Miss, the officials in D.C. monitoring the unfolding events had to keep in mind that Oxford was at
that time of year 2 hours behind Washington, not 1.
In fact, I suppose theoretically it would have been possible for there to have been a situation in
which areas on the two coasts were temporarily 4 hours apart, where part of, say, California or
Oregon had gone off DST while New York had not! (I don't know if such a scenario ever
happened, but it was possible...)
Interestingly, I found that one of the best sources for sorting all this out are astrology wonks.
While I consider astrology to be so much hooey, the really serious advocates have to take these
oddball historical local and regional DST rules into account for determining the actual hour of
birth (in relation to the rest of the universe). I used to have an astrology reference book that
painstakingly detailed many of these oddities, but it must have been accidentally tossed (or
misplaced during a move) as I no longer have it.

I was only 10 years old in 1954 but seem to remember Arizona (except the Navajo reservation)
did not use DST until a brief period in the 60's (with the possible exception of the WWII years
which I was too young to remember). DST didn't last in AZ because it stays light and hot too long
in summer evenings. This was before the wide adoption of refrigeration and mist systems. Now it
doesn't seem to matter.
It would be nice if AZ kept pace with the clock adjustments of the rest of the nation. It costs AZ
businesses plenty of aggravation and money and citizens plenty of aggravation to adjust their
electronic devices twice per year. We don't change our clocks but have to remember that
everyone else's do affecting things like network (both computer and media) times.

It's...true!
The end of September through the end of October from 1955-1961. New York
was on DST but Cali was not. NV mirrored CA. OR and WA were "check local
listings" as to DST or no, but if a city/area was then it ended in late September
(when you really should be back at school ;D).
Take this further back to the 1930s where Cali did not use DST at all (NY did),
so for the whole DST period there was a four-hour difference. Jack Benny did
his radio show in El Lay for the east on Sundays at 3:00pm PST in the summer
(instead of 4:00), and again at 7:00pm for the left coast.

1967. This was the first DST season under the Uniform Time Act of 1966.
If a state observed DST it was from the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday
in October. States could--as now--exempt themselves, and AZ did just that
starting in 1968.
AZ even "got out of" observing DST (as did the Cincy and Dayton areas in OH)
during parts of WWII. It was a "local use" exemption only, as anything federal-
related still operated under DST, or more correctly, "war time."

This is going a bit off-topic, but even now, for three hours in the Spring, the Eastern TZ is four
hours ahead of the Pacific TZ, as Eastern has already gone to Daylight Saving Time, while Pacific
is still on Standard Time.
The Fall clock change poses another oddity, as for one hour, it is the same time in parts of Florida
as it is in parts of Oregon. The Florida Panhandle west of Tallahassee is on Central Time, while
northern Malheur County, Oregon is on Mountain Time. For the hour after the Central TZ returns
to Standard Time but before the Mountain TZ does, it is the same time in both locations.

"Boxing From Eastern Parkway" had started on

DuMont in 1952 with Ted Husing, then Chris
Schenkel, as announcer. ABC picked up the
show in 1953, with Schenkel as announcer;
AFAIK that was the beginning of his career
at ABC (although he did college-football pregame
shows on CBS in the early '60s).

Yeah, that's the one! I first found that book many years ago, and have no idea whatever

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Saturday, October 20, 1973
This was the night of the "Saturday Night Massacre" (President Nixon's firing of Watergate
special prosecutor Archibald Cox, followed by resignations of Attorney General Eliot Richardson
and Deputy AG William B. Ruckelshaus. News reports on the Cox firing and subsequent
resignations interrupted Saturday night prime-time programming).

...more accurately, Nixon ordered Richardson to fire Cox, and Richardson resigned rather than
doing so; then Nixon ordered Ruckelshaus to fire Cox, and Ruckelshaus refused and resigned as
well. Finally, Nixon ordered Solicitor General (elevated to Acting Attorney General by the
resignations) Robert Bork to fire Cox, which Bork finally did...

ABC got a lot of flack for not carrying any coverage
of the "Saturday Night Massacre" as well--shows the
state of that network's news operation in those days.

I remember coming home from a Halloween party (a little early, yes) and finding out about the
SNM. That was when a lot of people really realized that Watergate could actually end Nixon's
presidency.
Also, "The Great Northfield, Minnesota Raid" was one of the best made-for-TV movies EVER!
Robert Duvall as Jesse James, Cliff Robertson as Cole Younger...awesome.
Finally, I didn't realize Neal Boortz had been working in Atlanta that long.

Did he do the Harpo/Lucy mirror routine with Fess Parker?
Younger posters may know it better--after this past Sunday
evening at 9/8 Central--as the Stewie/Adolf mirror routine.

...I know I'm not the only person stifling a giggle at this show title. I know the first and third
words aren't intended as epithets in this context, but I just got through watching a video of
TunnelVision, so you'll understand where my funnybone is right now. A farming or gardening
show, right?...

Don't know if Harpo did the mirror bit with Fess Parker.
He had enough trouble doing it with Lucy, since he was
on the opposite side of where he was when he and Groucho
first did the routine in "Duck Soup."
And "Spade And Hoe" was a farming show.

So, WMAZ didn't air Bonanza in color? I guess they didn't have the capibility to videotape in
color, or maybe they couldn't broadcast in color at all...

I got a conflict in the listings over whether the
Alabama-Tennessee game was in color; the regular
listing said it was, but the "Close-Up" said it wasn't.
I mention this because it aired live on CBS and WMAZ
and, possibly, in color. My guess is that WMAZ didn't

have the ability to videotape in color; none of the
stations in that edition did local programs in color
in 1962.

Incredible, Indelible, Magical,

8:30 ABC Movie: "Go Ask Alice" (I don't
think it's the one before this movie.

among the stars.)
8:30 ABC Movie: "Go Ask Alice"
...Go Ask Alice was a book published in 1971, allegedly from the actual diary of an anonymous
teenage drug abuser who OD'd in the late '60s. The title is lifted from the Jefferson Airplane song
"White Rabbit," itself an exploration by Grace Slick of the supposed drug references in Lewis
Carroll's Alice books. It is considered to be a classic of American literature for teenagers, and is
still in print from Simon Pulse in both hardcover and paperback; although originally promoted as
nonfiction, the book's editor, Beatrice Sparks, indicated on its copyright form that it was a work
of fiction, and it is now listed that way by Simon Pulse itself. As well, a 1998 piece in the New
York Times Book Review indicates that Linda Glovach, author of Beauty Queen, was also a co-
forger of the "diary" in Go Ask Alice. The movie listed above is an adaptation of the "diary" that,
along with Duel, The Point and Brian's Song, is considered a high point in ABC's Movie of the
Week anthology series...
...by the way, what did WTVC usually run in the 4:30-5:30 slot that's occupied here by that ABC
Afterschool Special?...

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Wednesday, October 24, 1973
That's true. "Go Ask Alice" was one of the

most memorable ABC "Movie Of The Week"
presentations (my parenthetical remarks were
intended as a joke).
WTVC normally had "Green Acres" 4:30-5,
followed by "Bonanza" from 5-6.

I think Making A Living may have been the precursor, as I remember It's A Living in first-run
syndication in the 80's.

It was "It's A Living" when it debuted on ABC
in 1980. It changed back to the original title

when it went into first-run syndication, IIRC.

This was an Exhibition Game, probably from The Indians' Spring Training Home in Tucson,
Arizona. The Indians trained in Tucson from 1947-1992, and played the Giants more than anyone
else in Spring Training over the next 45 years before moving to Winter Haven, Florida from 1993-
2008..The Indians move back to Arizona in 2009 for Spring Training, sharing a complex with the
Cincinnati Reds (2010) in the City of Goodyear, Arizona..

Interesting to see the NBA Finals between the Syracuse Nationals (now the Philadelhia 76ers)
and the then-Fort Wayne Pistons...On April 2nd, no less!

That was because at the beginning of the 1954-55 NBA season you had 9 teams in the league
(Baltimore Bullets dropped out after 14 Games).
There was a 72 game regular season schedule, and while 6 of the remaining 8 teams made the
playoffs,
The Division winners had a bye in the first playoff round. The division semifinals were best of 3
and the division finals best of 5. The Championship Series was best of 7.
The Regular season ended March 12, 1955, and the playoffs were from March 15-April 10, 1955.
Syracuse beat Ft. Wayne 4 Games to 3

I've seen some Kansas TV Guides from that era,
and I'm wondering: has KAKE ever carried "All

My Children"?

KAKE carried All My Children on and off in the 70's, I believe they brought it back in either 82 or
83 but they aired a delay broadcast of the soap at 11am, then it moved to 9am. At one time they
pre-empted the soap again for different programming in the mid to late 80's and Fox affiliate
KSAS Ch. 24 carried the show for a brief period at it's original time at noon.
What kind of magazine was "Family Happiness"? By the sound of it, it seems like something
along the lines of "TV Facts", the old freebie TV guides. But by the looks of the title and edition
name, it seems like neither television, nor specific locality, is the focus.

Ah..Family Happiness ! Wonder why this edition didn't feature the Denver stations? Colorado
Springs? Omaha? New Mexico? Reason I bring this up, I remember back in the mid 80's seeing a
West Virginia edition of Family Happiness and remembering the channel list I bet half of them
weren't available anywhere in West Virginia. Buffalo's WIVB & WKBW, Charlotte's WBTV,
Lancaster, PA's WGAL, even Nashville's WKRN were listed in the "West Virginia" edition. Wonder
why? Almost as odd as seeing the Roanoke-Lynchburg stations listed in the "Maryland" edition, I
guess that makes sense since both WDBJ and WSLS's signal is very clear in downtown Baltimore.
Ah no they aren't...but still for a kid at the time I have to admit it was interesting to see so many
listings for out of town stations ( WAY out of town ) whereas they wouldn't be in the regular TV
Guide.
However with that being said Family Happiness did have a problem ( at least it did in Maryland
and West Virginia ) over just how accurate those listings were. For example DC's WJLA for many
years used to air the 4:00 Movie. That was replaced by syndication in 1983, however as late as
December 1984 that program was still listed in the listings. Then in the summer of 1985 I saw
another copy of Family Happiness. The listings featured a weekend sports show on Baltimore's
WJZ hosted by Randy Blair. Problem? WJZ's Randy Blair had died of a heart attack in January
1983.
Well the price was right anyway. Free !
While traveling with my family in the summer of 1990 in east-central Missouri and staying at a
large rural motel along I-70 (which relied only on OTA reception of Columbia/Jeff City and St.
Louis stations, and perhaps some weaker Quincy/Hannibal signals popping up too--no cable
there), I noticed their edition of the "Family Happiness" (or by then it might have just been titled
"Happiness") guide. Not only were channels from markets serving eastern MO viewers as St.
Louis, Columbia/JC, Quincy/Hannibal, Kirksville/Ottumwa (KTVO-3 only) and Cape
Girardeau/Paducah/Harrisburg listed, but also shown in the publication were Jonesboro, AR's
KAIT-8 (ABC), plus stations from both Springfield, MO and Springfield, IL (don't remember if the
stations from the Decatur and Champaign portions of the latter market were included), and even
the Peoria, IL affiliates (I also don't remember if the Bloomington side of the Peoria market was
represented in that Happiness edition with Fox affiliate WYZZ-43). But IMO this edition was
probably also distributed to customers in the Quincy market, where (particularly around the
Rushville/Beardstown/Macomb areas) it is possible (albeit with a good outdoor antenna) to
attain adequate reception of the Peoria and Springfield UHF affiliates.
It would be interesting to have seen what an Illinois edition of "Happiness" might have looked
like (if one was available for the Prairie State)--could both Chicago and St. Louis stations have
been listed in a single, far-flung edition similar to the one I saw in eastern Missouri in '90?

Family Happiness was ( as I remember it ) a very small freebie publication that was distributed by
small businesses such as those local non-chain supermarkets ( well maybe IGA ) or even general
stores, motels...small businesses and usually the name of the small business was typed on the
front of Family Happiness.
I wish I knew more about what was inside other than the TV listings but I am pretty sure there
were quite a bit of religious content in it, maybe a page of Bible verses and the like. Around the
same time as Family Happiness was out ( early 80s ), my hometown had their own version of FH
called "TV Tempo". Half of it were TV Listings and in that case only the channels offered on the
local cable system had their listings published and being a conservative publication the listings
for HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, VH1 and MTV were not however they did provide listings for The
Nashville Network. TV Tempo even had a "radio section" of course the country and religious
stations were listed but the rock stations were not. TV Tempo lasted less than a year ( if that ). I
wish I knew when Family Happiness went defunct, which I would imagine it is now.
A Pennsylvania edition of Family Happiness in the 80s would have been interesting to see.
Listings for THREE Group W stations ( WJZ, KDKA and KYW ). SIX stations using the "Action News"
Brand ( WBAL,WTAE,WPVI, WJET, WLYH and WNEP ), listings for Pittsburgh's WPTT and WPGH
along side Philly's WPHL, WTAF and even WKBS and not too mention Baltimore's WBFF and
WNUV too. And all of those PBS stations.....with so many stations while it may had been fun for
all of us who are into looking at listings for stations we can't pick up but for the average Joe
viewer...no wonder they paid the extra money for TV Guide.

8:30 P.M. Man From U.N.C.L.E.
Wonder why they showed reruns of Man From U.N.C.L.E. instead of Ironside?
And what were the Republican Political Talks all about? CBS had theirs for 5 minutes at a time
while ABC had theirs for an hour.

Those were paid political ads/informercials (no, Barack was not the first).
WXIX - Channel 19 - had only been on the air for a few months in October, 1969. Interestingly,
the station was licensed to not only Cincinnati, but Newport, Ky. as well. There had been talk for
some years before that the license had been granted to the same people who owned WNOP
Radio - at 740 AM in Newport which was famous for its personality, Leo Underhill.
Technically it is licensed on paper to Newport. Metromedia owned them through the seventies
and early 80's but I'm not sure if they signed on the station. IIRC the original allocation was for
Channel 74 but was moved to 19.

I meant to say WXIX - Channel 19 - had only been on the air for a few months in October, 1968
(not 1969). The only show originated at at the Channel 19 studios was the "Larry Smith
Puppets". Larry is originally from Dayton, Ohio. At one time, he (his puppets) has been on shows
that were seen on Channels 7 & 2 in Dayton and Cincinnati Channels 9, 5, 48 as well as 19. (For
those who might wonder about Channels 5 & 2, his puppets were on Midwestern Hayride's
Christmas shows which were seen on the Crosley/Avco stations in Cincinnati, Dayton and
Columbus).

It was just a few days before election day 1968 - so I'm sure those Republican political "talks"
would be for Richard Nixon, who beat Democrat Vice President Hubert Humphrey just a few days
later. Humphrey suffered from Lyndon Johnson's failed Vietnam War policies...though Nixon
really didn't change strategy when he came into office. All Nixon would say in the campaign is
that he had a "secret plan" to end the war. He couldn't talk about it of course. Segregationist
Alabama Governor George Wallace came in third, but swept all the Southern states as the
candidate of the American Independent Party.
It's interesting to me that all 3 network stations still had only 30 minute evening newscasts. In
the major markets (LA, New York), a lot of the network stations were already running two one
hours news blocks, from 5:00 to 6:00, and 6:00 to 7:00, with network news (Cronkite, etc.) from
7:00 to 7:30.

...he couldn't talk about it because, as Nixon later admitted, it didn't exist. And what Humphrey
really suffered from was the image of Richard J. Daley's Chicago cops wailing on all those middle-
class White collegiate heads in the streets of the Loop. When those films and tapes spilled out of
television screens across America, it soured so many Democrats that, rather than vote for Nixon
or Wallace instead, they just didn't bother to show up at the polls and vote in the first place....
WLWT, WHAS, and WLEX had hour-long newscasts starting at 5:30, with
the network news at 6:30. But you'll note that only one ABC affiliate
(Lexington) carried its network news.
The secret plan to end the war didn't exist? Yeah - I was 16 years old at the time, but smart
enough to know that. What's depressing is that so many people were willing to believe it. Good
point about the Chicago riots. I remember watching them on television and becoming more
radicalized by the minute. My lefty-liberal parents had been huge HHH fans until he became VP
and LBJ's yes man. I think they voted for the Peace and Freedom candidates that year. Even then
I argued with them that a vote for the P&F candidate (whoever that was) was a vote for Nixon,
just like I argued with my friends in 2000 that a vote for Nader was a vote for Bush.
Now back to Classic TV talk...

8 Rena & Bob (TV shopping)
A quote from WJW-TV's former History Pages (Not on the current FOX 8 Website) describes this
as a "garage sale of the air"
Jim Doney: "One of the most popular shows we did was called "Bargain Barn," which was done
by a couple named Rena and Bob Ledyard. He'd been the Program Director at WJW radio, and he
was a licensed auctioneer. His wife was a garage sale addict. She was always running off scouring
the city for garage sale items and would come back and put together a half-hour show.
Essentially, it was a garage sale on air. They'd send a pick up truck over to someone's house,
bring the stuff back and sell it on TV. It was actually a very big show...very popular."
5:50
5 Dinner Platter
Hosted by WEWS-TV 5 personality Bob Dale, A Canton, Ohio native who had been at Channel 5
since 1948. Ear problems as the result of World War II injuries led him to move out to San Diego,
California where he became a broadcasting Icon for over 40 years.

10 PM Eleventh Hour (about psychiatrists)
A rather dour duo of shrinks, IIRC, who were nowhere near as wacky
as Dr. Bellows...who was driven wacky by Majors Nelson and Healey.

Which, indeed, was the criticism most often
leveled at it, that it needed some humor.
Interestingly, it had the same producer as
"Dr. Kildare"--Norman Felton (not to be confused
with Norman Fell)--but none of the chemistry of
Richard Chamberlain and Raymond Massey (and no
one with Chamberlain's unbeatable appeal to women).
Nevertheless, "The Eleventh Hour" lasted two seasons
(1962-64) and even had an imitator in 1963-64, ABC's
"Breaking Point."

Sounds like a teeny-tiny ABC UHF affiliate, like WBJA-Binghamton (which went on the air the
same year)...And how many stations carried TWO evening network news casts...? And signed off
at 11:10 PM on a weeknight, even in 1962?!

Obviously a station lacking for money; this is
still the era before UHF tuners were required.
WAII (WXIA)/11 Atlanta carried two network
newscasts for a time around early 1963. WAGA
didn't carry Cronkite at the time, so 11 carried
Cochran at 6:45 and Cronkite at 7:15, with local
news sandwiched in between. Neither made a
dent on Huntley-Brinkley on WSB, and both were
dropped; 11 did carry Peter Jennings (the first time)
and WAGA eventually did pick up Cronkite, in 1966.

Wasn't this the same Norman Felton who later produced The Man from U.N.C.L.E.? Methinks I
detect MGM Television here. (Certainly with Dr. Kildare.)

It's the same Norman Felton. Obviously he had
a successful career in the '60s; don't know if he's
still living.

Norman Felton was busiest in the 60s, but continued to produce and executive produce up until
1979. Imdb lists no date of death, so Norman would appear to still be with us at age 95

Actually, I don't think the practice was too unusual back in the days when stations held more
than one network afiliation. I know WBTW/13 in Florence SC carried both the ABC and CBS
newscasts for years, all the way up to the early 80s when WPDE/15 came on there and took the
ABC affilation. I wonder if WAIM/40 in Anderson SC was also carrying CBS and ABC news in the
listing above rather than a repeat of ABC news. I know WAIM carried both the 30 minute
versions of ABC and CBS news in later years.

WAIM carried only Cochran in 1962, but yes, they
did carry Smith/Reasoner at 6 and Cronkite at 6:30
in the '70s. Likewise, WBTW carried Smith/Reasoner
at 6, local news at 6:30, and Cronkite at 7.
I do believe, though, that by the beginning of 1963
WAIM was carrying both Cochran and Cronkite.

Keep in mind that in the mid-'60s there were a few
CBS affiliates that didn't carry Cronkite (WAGA first
and foremost), either because Chet Huntley and David
Brinkley were so far ahead in the ratings, or the backlash
over the "CBS Reports" documentary "Who Speaks For
Birmingham?" (Howard K. Smith narrated that one, his
last assignment at CBS.) I tend to believe my first theory.
So in some cases, such as Atlanta and Knoxville, the ABC
affiliate, with time to fill and maybe hoping for a little prestige,
picked up Cronkite (one exception was Birmingham, where he
didn't come on at all until WBMG signed on in 1965).

Re: Retro: Adelaide/Spencer Gulf/Broken Hill, Australia Fri, Nov 13, 1992
Hey Bluenoser,
A couple of years back, you posted some old school TV listings for Toledo, Ohio. I was wondering
if you had any others from the 60's or 70's for Toledo, or how I can get my hands on them online
if possible since I now live in Denver.
Thanks,
Donny G ;D

...Patrick MacNee once told me that the real reason the Linda Thorson episodes were sub-par
was not because of Thorson herself, who MacNee always had admiration for, but the decreasing
level of the writing since around '67 or so...

6 AM Ambassador College (Garner Ted
Armstrong)
Should have been in the old "I used to believe.." thread: Growing up, having never met anyone
named "Garner," I thought the guy's name was Ted Armstrong and that "Garner" was some sort
of title like "Bishop" or "Reverend." ("Garner" = "one who garns?")
7 AM Bozo
As I once mentioned here, the local Orlando Bozo was played by a guy who graduated from my
high school. Around this time, Bozo would have been ably assisted by "Uncle Hubie," a "hick"
character played by WFTV personality Hugh Turley. He would later "defect" to the new WSWB
ch. 35 when it signed on about 6 months after this schedule, and create a rival kiddie show there
called "Uncle Hubie's Penthouse Barnyard."

8:30 Fran Carlton (exercise show--Ms. Carlton
later served in the Florida legislature)
As did former Orlando TV car salesman Art Grindle, famous for jumping on the hoods of his cars
in his "I want to sell you a CAR!!" ads. FWIW, I went to school with Ms. Carlton's oldest daughter.
The show had only debuted a few weeks earlier, at the end of August. About nine months after
the date of this schedule, she would achieve a morbid place in TV history.

The station has never totally recovered since that horrible incident back in '74. Even to this day,
even with a new set of call-letters (WWSB), many people still equate Sarasota's Channel 40 as
the place where Christine Chubbuck committed suicide on live TV. It's a shame too.

down the phone on those who are curious about Berg. I forgot who was on the air at KOA last
year but one night during "open phones" some guy calls in asking the host a question about Berg
and not only did the host cut off the caller in mid sentance but he warned the audience if they
want to talk about Alan Berg...well they won't be treated with respect.

Yikes! I don't even think WPVI in Philly even gets calls anymore over the Bud Dwyer thing (which
inspired the Filter song "Hey Man, Nice Shot" - but I digress...)

That's because Dwyer's suicide took place in the VCR era, and copies of the footage circulate on
the Net; anyone who wants to see it probably has. Chubbuck's suicide, by contrast, happened in
1974, and the only copy of the original tape was impounded and later given to the family. So the
macabre (and sick) voyeurs who like to watch the unfortunate demise of fellow human beings
are out of luck.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Monday, November 16, 1964
Looking at the Atlanta schedules, it rather
bothers me that only one network newscast
(Huntley-Brinkley) aired in that market in 1964.
I know WSB has always dominated that market,
but Chs. 5 and 11 could have offered a choice
(they each had local newscasts, after all);
even in two-station Raleigh/Durham we got
Cochran on WRAL and Cronkite on WTVD (no
NBC affiliate; WRAL had switched two years earlier,
but a considerable portion of the market could get Huntley-
Brinkley on WITN, so in effect we had all three).
I suppose some of this had to do with NBC's complete
dominance of the news ratings at the time; 1964 was
the year Cronkite was replaced by Roger Mudd and Robert
Trout at the Democratic Convention, a disastrous pairing
if ever there was one; and ABC was still trying to establish
some sort of news credibility. Yet within a year or so, Ch.
11 would be carrying Peter Jennings (the first time), and
Ch. 5 would pick up Cronkite in 1966. So what gives in '64?

7 PM Movie: "Run Silent, Run Deep"
7:30 90 Bristol Court (Karen)
8 PM 90 Bristol Court (Harris Against The
World)
8:30 90 Bristol Court (Tom, Dick And Mary)
Unless they buried it in weekend fringe, WSB-TV matched KVOA-TV Tucson
in that it did not carry 90 Bristol Court (7:30-9 on WRCB-TV). That begs
the question--what did WSB-TV do as of January 1965 when "60 of the 90"
was canceled, Karen stayed at 7:30, and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. moved
(from Tuesday 8:30) to Monday 8:00-9:00?
When it premiered in the fall of 1964, KVOA-TV aired UNCLE Tuesdays
9:00-10:00 MT--via 16mm film, on a one- or two-week delay. IIRC, they
kept it there even after the network timeslot flip in January.
5:30 Jack Benny Daytime Show
Was this delayed from 4:30-5:00 ET? The other CBS affils listed that cleared
all other daytime shows also went local at 4:30.

I'll have to look up the answer to your first
question; I don't have a 1965 TV Guide at hand
right now.
WAGA did delay Jack Benny from 4:30; they
probably felt he'd be a strong lead-in to the
local news, but I recall that his show didn't
fare too well in daytime reruns and CBS dropped
it after about a year.

In the second half of the 1964-65 season, Ch. 2
carried "Man From U.N.C.L.E." Saturdays at 7,
delaying "Flipper" to Fridays at 7. It never did
carry "Karen."

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati Saturday, November 23, 1968
Interesting story about WAVE preempting Laugh-In.
WAKY radio had just hired a new afternoon DJ, his air name in Memphis was Johnny Apollo.
There was already two Johnny's on the air so a new name had to be used. This guy had a big
voice and sounded like "This is Gary Owens from beautiful downtown Burbank" so he was
named Gary Burbank (From beautiful downtown Louisville, this is Gary Burbank). Management
dressed him up like Owens so listeners could see him do his thing in the showcase studio. The
cherry atop of the gag was WAVE's preemption of Laugh In. WAKY had the audio of Laugh In
taped Monday Night and by the end of the week Gary Burbank was using the Laugh In bits on
the air. Because of this time shifting it sounded like Gary Owens was ripping off Gary Burbank.

forgot Garish (real name:Bill Purser) used the name "Johnny Apollo"...One of the creepier
airnames ever, to be sure (at least pre-Bubba The Love Sponge).

Re: Pittsburgh, November 25-29, 1968 (Part 1: Pittsburgh stations)
NONE of the local Pittsburgh stations had live local color by 1968? Seems hard to believe. I think
all the NC locals had local color by that time....

Actually, channel 4 pre-empted the ABC Wednesday Night Movie "For Love Or Money" (1965) at
this time.

Not to speak for Only1moore, but it seems probable that he simply decided not to designate
shows in color, or the original listings didnt indicate color shows..

Several years ago there was a book about Pittsburgh's Kennywood Amusement Park that
discussed the Spring of 1968 grand opening of the massive Thunderbolt roller coaster which had
got its name thanks to WTAE. The book said that WTAE was airing the dedication/grand
opening...IN COLOR so I would imagine by the time of these lsitings at least WTAE had live local
color.
Be kinda odd for WTAE to use "color" only for Kennywood but "black & white" say for the local
news.

If I'm not mistaken, even at the network level news programs were one of the last live/tape
genres to go color. Switching to color for a static daily show like the news meant at the very least
refurbishing a studio (the color scheme of the set mattered little in B&W, but was paramount for
color), new lighting, etc. In some cases, an entirely new space was built or modified to do regular
studio-bound color broadcasts. All this took some time (and money) and a "serious" genre like
news, where it was probably felt color would add little of substance, would have been low on
the totem pole of priority. Covering a one-time location shoot like Kennywood in color was
pretty straightforward (except for lugging the equipment) as there would be natural lighting, no
set to build, etc., and color would enhance the viewer experience, whereas most folks watching
the news couldn't care less whether the anchor has a blue or brown tie, or what color the
weathergirl's eyes are.

Actually, the color scheme of a studio DID matter for black and white telecasts. However, the
colors and designs that were used would not look particularly palatable in color. They tended to
be base colors that were chosen based on what shade of gray they would depict on a black and
white set. Basically, for contrast. So, it mattered what the set looked like or what color the
anchor's suit was....but the choices were made based on how something would look in B & W.
I heard that, in the early days of the 50s, some on-screen folks were made to wear brown lipstick
and outlandishly colored makeup so that their facial features would show well on early black and
white sets.
Once shows went to color, all of the sets needed to be redone to showcase all of the different
colors and shades of color that this "new" technology could provide. Look at reruns of those
color shows from the mid to late 1960s and you'll see all these lovely colors showcased.
Particularly light blues, yellows and pinks. Showing off to sell the public on color TVs, basically.

Re: Retro: North Carolina Wednesday, August 14, 1963
bpatrick:
I notice that 5 of the 9 commercial stations in these North Carolina listings carried the
"Tennessee Ernie Ford Show." From what I've read of this show it was a decent peformer ratings
wise but not a blockbuster hit nationally like his nighttime show had been. Ford had a 5 year
contract (1962-67) that ABC bought out in 1965.
I was curious, was this show a noticeably bigger hit in the South than in other parts of the
country?
Side Note:I'd like to see a couple of these shows at some point, if they are available anywhere..

I would tend to believe that Tennessee Ernie's
show was more popular in the South than elsewhere;
in fact, before WRAL switched to ABC, WTVD was
carrying it in Raleigh/Durham.
If you can find any episodes of the ABC show, watch
for Ernie's announcer; you may have heard of him:
Jim Lange, who got the emceeing job on "The Dating
Game" because his work with Ernie impressed Chucky

Baby (Barris).

So, Tennessee Ernie Ford was an ABC show in 1963? If so, I'm surprised it turned up on WSJS
since I'd always thought WSJS (today's WXII) was the one NC station that carried one network,
NBC. Otherwise, any network show was apt to turn up on any station. Regarding New Bern's
channel 12 that debuted in 1963---it's first calls was WNBE-TV.

A few years ago, some of his shows turned up on PBS stations -- they may still be floating around.
Some of them were pretty early shows -- a couple I remember would have been from late 1960,
as Ernie made reference to JFK having just been elected. And these were in color, so they would
be quite early color videotapes. In fact, they apparently were restored by the same team of guys
that did the late 50's Fred Astaire specials, the WRC-TV Eisenhower tape, etc. A connection that I
once e-mailed the main guy of that team about, and got back a very suspicious, paranoid
response, wanting to know who the hell I was, and was I in the industry, and what's my real
name, etc., and that he was not going to chat with "just anyone" about it. Very odd.
Also odd were some of Ernie's guests. One show guest-starred Ernie Kovacs (no truth to the
rumor that they were planning to go on the road as "The Two Ernies"); another had Liberace as
guest, and Ernie for one sequence in which thye both played piano donned a Liberace-esque
sequined jacket!

I suspect that those Ernie Ford shows on PBS
were from his 1956-61 primetime show, titled
"The Ford Show" not after him, but after his
sponsor, Ford Motor Company. Ernie Kovacs,
after all, was dead by 1963.

WSJS (WXII) carried both NBC and ABC. "The
Flintstones," "Leave It To Beaver," "Ben Casey,"
and Lawrence Welk were among the ABC shows
seen on Ch. 12. But in the fall of '63, ABC
shows would move to Ch. 8; Ch. 2 would become
CBS exclusively, and Ch. 12 would be fulltime NBC.
(BTW, I started to say "all ABC shows" on Ch. 8,
but the station didn't carry ABC's evening newscast
until the fall of 1970.)
WNBE (WCTI) would pick up the ABC shows carried
on WITN and WNCT that fall as well. Greenville/New
Bern/Washington has not had an affiliation switch
involving ABC, CBS, and/or NBC: WITN/7 is still NBC,
WNCT/9 is CBS, WCTI/12 is ABC.
Charlotte, BTW, was a weird one. WCCB/36 (later 18)
signed on in the fall of 1964, but for three years it,
WBTV, and WSOC each cherry-picked ABC, CBS, and
NBC. Not until the fall of 1967 did each settle down with
one network. WBTV/3 is still CBS, WSOC/9 went from NBC
to ABC in 1978, and WCCB went from ABC to independent
in 1978, and to Fox in 1986.

The PBS shows in fact, were Ernie's nighttime show..ernieford.com sells DVD sets of 2-3 shows
apiece (21 total shows) and VHS sets (26 shows). These I believe were shown on PBS..The
nearest PBS station to me that aired them was WOUC-TV 44 Cambridge, Ohio..I begged the
Northeast Ohio PBS stations to air the show but to no avail..
I bought 4 of the VHS tapes in the early 1990's..Some are Color some B@W..America One TV
showed a couple of Ernie Ford Afternoon Shows they came up with, so I know some are around
somewhere..

Correct about New Bern's Ch. 12, and I should have said WNBE (WCTI).
It was still WNBE when I lived in Kinston (1965-66); I remember it had
a terrible signal, even being 35 miles away. I think the call-letter
change was in either 1969 or 1970; I'll let you clear that one up, since
I was living in Birmingham by then.

I think you're right about WNBE changing to WCTI in 1970. It happened after I graduated from
ECU in '70 but before I returned for grad school in 1971. Yes, they had a terrible signal in
Greenville at that time---they had only a 700 foot tower and 180,000 watts of power. When
Continential Broadcasting bought them in the late 60s (thus the change of calls to WCTI) they
upgraded to a 900 ft plus tower and full power in Jones County in the early 70s, then a few years
later went to their big 2000 ft tower. I think the Jacksonville (NC) UNC-TV channel now uses the
900 footer. Regarding a comment I made in another thread about NC stations having live local
color in the 60s, I remember WNBE's local newscasts being color in the late 60s but the "on the
scene" taped reports were still in b&w---very strange. But no worse than WITN's live weather
radar being in b&w for years after live color was introduced. Of course, a station having their
own weather radar was quite a plum in those days (neither WRAL or WTVD had it, I don't think)
so no one was complaining.

I can remember back in the mid-'60s or so,
when WITN got that radar, they exploited it
by calling its weathercast "Weather In Motion."

What was this pilot about?
9:30 Suncoast Digest
About 3.5 months later, channel 40 would be looking for a new host to replace Christine
Chubbock, who would leave the show on frightening circumstances (hint, hint).

"The Brady Bunch" was already in reruns, even
in primetime; the episode that night was about
Bobby's being kissed by a girl who might have the
mumps.
The "Evel Knievel" pilot was for a projected
action-adventure show. In the pilot, he's challenged
to a test of skill by a female motorcyclist. Sam Elliott
played Evel Knievel, Karen Philllipp (who?) played the
female cyclist.

All I know is that when the Central Florida Edition
split into Orlando and Tampa/Sarasota in 1977,
Chs. 4, 6, and (I believe) 10 Miami were added to
the program listings in the Tampa/Sarasota Edition,
and Miami's 6 was added to the Orlando Edition, Since
I was in Texas by that time, that's as much as I
can give you, but I think the Miami stations were
probably out of those editions by the time of the big
switch in January 1989.

Actually, in 1977, Central Florida splitted into three editions -- Orlando, Tampa Bay and Sarasota,
with Sarasota including Fort Myers/Naples in its coverage area. Tampa Bay and Sarasota merged
into the Tampa-Sarasota edition in the early-1980s (about 1980 or 1981).

Re: Retro: Seattle/Vancouver September 2, 1997 3PM-5PM with Cable Channels
Since this was 1997, I would say most likely that this is The Cosby Show
rather than the 1996-2000 series called Cosby. Also the name of the other
cartoon is The New Batman/Superman Adventures.

Didn't realize WFBG and WJAC were running occasional ABC programs in 1968. Was WTAE, the
ABC affiliate in Pittsburgh, not available in the market at the time?
Basically put, in 1968, there was NO ABC primary/exclusive affiliates between Pittsburgh (WTAE)
and Harrisburg (WTPA 27, now WHTM). If you had cable, from about Altoona and west, your
cable system picked up WTAE for ABC programming. From roughly east of Altoona, your cable
system latched onto WTPA for ABC viewing. Northeast of Altoona (State College in particular),
some sytems would hook up to WNEP 16 from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for ABC shows.

Forgive me if this question has already been asked ( I searched but didn't find the answer )....
Cincinatti's WLW-T....considering that thestation for years was co-owned by WLW radio I wonder
why Crosley/Avco just didn't use the call letters "WLW-TV" rather than "WLW-T"? Or did they call
themselves "WLW-TV" over the air even though the official calls were ( and still are of course )
WLWT? WLWT has their own You Tube channel and one clip they had recently ( sure its still there
) was a weather forcast from the mid 50's. The announcer said for the station ID of course
"WLWT Cincinatti" but then said the weather came from "WLW". Just curious.
Same with Charlotte's WBTV. Interesting they never did call themselves WBT-TV.

Crosley/Avco used the "WLW" variant calls for most of their properties, including WLWC in
Columbus, OH (now WCMH), WLWD in Dayton, OH (now WDTN), WLWA in Atlanta (now WXIA)
and WLWI in Indianapolis (now WTHR). In that sense, the WLWT calls for Cincinnati seemed to
make sense (it was, after all, their main flagship). Of course, they would often have a hyphen
between the WLW and the last letter in their call sign, which seemed a particular style of theirs.
The only exception to this rule was San Antonio's WOAI, which Crosley/Avco owned from 1965
to 1975.

WBTV was going to be called WBT-TV, until
somebody (I don't know who) decided that
WBTV rolled off the tongue better; WBTV it's
always been.
I have a Kentucky listing for the Saturday
after Thanksgiving 1968, and by that time
WLWT had dropped the dash.

The Indiana time zone map in late 1960 was a mess, per usual.

Re: Retro: Central Indiana, November 30, 1960 Part 1: Morning
WTTV signed on at 11:55 because they were independent. MANy independent tv stations in
those years signed on noonish - or even 4pm (as did WCIU, Chicago before the days of
Ultrascope and the Stock Market Observer) and WFLD (noon sign on).
I believe the fcc rule was an 8 hour day minimum for the first year of operation. It costs lots of
money to make a tv station work.
Independents have an additional problem because they can't just flip the network switch and
have programming. In 1960 there were FEWER barter programs around (as there are many
today) so deep pockets were necessary, just to pay the electric bill.

WCIU Ch. 26 was a multi-ethnic station at night but did carry a lot of Spanish-language
programming.
WSNS Ch. 44 didn't begin broadcasting in Spanish full-time until 1985, when ON-TV went off the
air. It was a mainstream independent in '73. It had begun airing White Sox baseball that year.
The other station in the market (but not always listed in TV Guide and never in any of the
Chicago papers, IIRC) in 1973 was WCAE Ch. 50, a PBS station owned by a high school in St. John,
IN.

...any indication of what normally ran on WSNS at and after 10:00? I'm especially curious if Bob
Luce's weeknight strip pro wrestling show ran this early in the station's history...
Ask and ye shall receive ;D
Wrestling did air on 'SNS as follows:
Sun noon/replay Tues 10pm (Bob Luce, that week's highlight was the conclusion of the World
Tag Team Match between Billy Robinson?Crusher and Nick Bockwinkel/Ray Stevens)
Fri 10pm (Chicago, highlight was 6-man action: Mencaker/Snyder/Gomez v

Heenan/Snyder/Valiant- think I may have the second name of the Heenan team wrong, though)
They showed boxing on Mon/Wed 10pm; weeknights ended with Not for Women Only at 11 and
Trails West at 11:30.
WCIU also ran some wrestling as well Sundays 11am & 1pm.

Re: Retro:Cleveland/Akron/Youngstown/Erie/Toledo Thursday, November 22, 1962
Bert Parks's show was called "Yours For A Song."
"What's This Song?" was Wink Martindale's first

game show, airing on NBC in the 1964-65 season.
I noticed one ABC station carrying "Camouflage."
This must have been a delay of at least a week,
since the last show of the original version aired on
November 16. And the host was DON, not Dom,
Morrow.
"Premiere" is "Alcoa Premiere," with Fred Astaire
as host. It was not uncommon in the days when
sponsors were included in the program title for
newspapers to delete the sponsor's name on grounds
that it was free advertising.
And is that the same Bob Neal who worked at
Channel 11 in Atlanta as news anchor from 1969-72,
then as sports guy on "Pro News" on two different
occasions between 1972 and 1976, when Steve Somers
replaced him and he went to work for Ted Turner?

Thanks bpatrick..
I was doing this for a special Thanksgiving post on my blog and It WAS Your's For a Song..At least
I can correct it on the blog, since I can't here..
Thanks for the correction on Morrow's name-just a mistype.
I was trying to find a show called "Premiere" in Brooks and Marsh..Thanks for the clarification
I dont think the Cleveland and Atlanta Bob Neal are the same. The Cleveland Bob Neal
had worked as a sports TV/Radio announcer for Browns and Indians games and as a Cleveland
Sportscaster from as far back as the late 1940's until 1972 when he was let go as the Cleveland
Indians radio announcer, being replaced by Joe Tait..Neal also did some Network sports.
The Atlanta Bob Neal would seem to be somewhat younger..
some proof:

The infamous "Heidi Bowl" game! (I like to call it "Heidi-Gate".) That switchover sure bit NBC
hard.

I was only eight years old at the time, so I don't remember how it played out between Channels
13 and 42.

And, since the Bear Bryant and Shug Jordan shows were relayed to all the state's NBC affils, it's
very likely the "Heidi Bowl" did not air anywhere in Alabama, except on Channel 42. And,
as any Birminghamian will tell you, the crew in master control outnumbered the
audience. And with that short tower they started out from, you were doing well to pick
up 42 north of, say, Fultondale.
I'd imagine people in Alabama wondered what the fuss was all about.
Keep in mind, too, that in these parts college football far and away trumps the NFL - then and
now. (And this is Bear Bryant we're talking about. God took court in Heaven in
1983 ... or so it seems ;D) Heck, a middle school JV game would probably
outrate pro ball!

Amazingly, there is still existing video of Sandy's Dream. Clips were shown on KTLA's 50th
anniversary special, which was aired in 1997. The woman who was Sandy was also on hand with
her memories.
Equally amazing, the video that was shown was of excellent quality. It looked like it was taped
the week before. Sandy's Dream was a live broadcast.
Sandy's Dream was a cleverly-conceived program. It would show Sandy, a girl around 8, under
the covers going to sleep. She was covered all the way up her neck so as not to show the clothes
she was about to be seen wearing in her dream. Then, the wave effect would run, and a harp
would start playing, then Sandy would have her adventure, and it was never a bad dream or a
nightmare. Then she would wake up, and her wake-up scene would be semi-related to what
happened in her dream, i.e.- she would dream about being in Ice Cream Land, talking to Mr. Ice
Cream, and when she woke, a bowl of ice cream would be waiting for her and her brother.
Would that be such a bad show for today's children?

15 Ann Colone-VarietyA locally produced variety show that was able to hang on till at least the
early 70's...Nice mix of local guests and big names doing their bit to help out the affiliates. I can
still remember the on-air phone calls, back when long-distance calls had those periodic beeps
every minute or so.

those periodic beeps every minute or so.
You may be referring to the beep tone which was heard every 15 seconds
on any call--local or long distance--broadcast on the air, live or recorded.
Memory is a bit hazy, but I think it was an FCC requirement at that time.
I vaguely remember this practice being mentioned in the front section of
the phone book, so maybe it was part of the Bell System's tariffs.
Not sure how the tone was generated--did Ma Bell wire something into the
station's phone system? The key, pot, or whatever source position for the
phone on the board was often labeled "beeper."

Why did so many PBS members back in the late '70s air captioned ABC news instead of NBC, CBS
or independent news?
Because it was a networked PBS program, and ABC gave WGBH permission to caption the news
and distribute it on PBS. As far as I know, no other network open-captioned their news. Some
local stations devoted a few minutes for captioned local news, but only for their own stations.
True, I can attest to this. I remember the captions - which didn't necessarily correspond with
what was spoken on the air - were typeset with the Vidifont CG system, which was the first
major computer-generated display typesetting apparatus for television, preceding the
emergence of Chyron. Also, I suspect it was a way for ABC to broaden its nightly news audience
beyond those watching the network at the time of original newscast, as it was in third place
"way back when," behind (sometimes even waaay behind) CBS and NBC.
What years did 'Captioned ABC News' air?
From what I could tell, it started around 1973 or '74, and ended about 1980.
Which would place it around the time of:
A. Congress cutting funding for PBS; and
B. The networks beginning to do closed-captioning with the advent of decoders(presumably for

news as well as prime time programs).
I think the open-captioned news ended around 1981 and 1982 -- in its final months or so, the
captioning technology used was the same one used for closed-captions.
Wow, I forgot all about that PBS aired ABC News back then and distributed it to the PBS stations
in closed caption.
B.

If my memory is correct...I believe that ABC was the first of the big networks to regularly use
closed captioning for their programming.

Re: Retro: Los Angeles October 2, 1950
I always thought Bill Welsh spent his career at KTLA.
I know that he and Stan Chambers covered the Kathy
Fiscus (the little girl who fell down a well to her death
in 1949) story, but that was a year and a half before
the date given for this thread. Did he ever work at

KTLA again?

Chef Milani! I haven't heard that name since I was child, and Burma Shave signs were still
around! Talk about jarring memories. A lot of people mistook him for Chef Boyardi.
Time For Beany was a childhood favorite of mine. It was live, and there was a lot of ad-libbed off-
the-wall humor. The cartoon show that came later was good and well-written, but it still didn't
quite compare to the puppet show.
My favorite Cecil line: "I wouldn't have liked that if it was good!"

Though this was a couple of years before I was born, and almost 6 years before my parents
bought our first TV, I remember some of these people from LA TV and radio in the 60s and 70s.
I actually remember Bill Welsh from KTTV - he did the Rose Parade every year for Channel 11
until at least the late 1960s. Mike Roy was a chef who had a daily program on KNX radio - until at
least the mid 70s, I think - well after the station had switched to News Radio. Clete Roberts, of
course, was later a news anchor for KTLA and KNXT - possibly others.
Al Jarvis was a prominent radio DJ, and was part of the original group of jocks who exploded
onto the airwaves in 1958 on "Color Radio" KFWB.
I don't know what the FCC ownership limits were in those days, but it's interesting that Earl C.
Anthony was able to own 2 TV stations - KECA 7, and KFI 9.
7, and KFI 9.
Duopolies were allowed in those days, both radio & TV. Mr. Anthony at the time also owned KFI
& KECA (now KABC) Radio. I don't know when the rules changed. I think that some present-day
ownership rules need to be changed, but that's another category.
At Golden West Broadcasters (710/KMPC) we had a Vice President/Sports, a local legend named
Steve Bailey, whom I worked under. He had a very strong resemblance to Bill Welsh. They could
have been mistaken for twin brothers if they had ever stood together. We used to joke that Steve
& Bill Welsh were one and the same person, as they were never seen together. Steve (Yes, I was
on a first-name basis with him, as he was with everybody) would reply, "Ok, you found me out!
My cover is blown!"
Steve Bailey has passed on; I don't know about Bill Welsh.
As usual, the answer is as close as Google. IMDB has a surprising amount of info on Bill Welsh
considering he was hardly a national celebrity. Bill died in 2000 at age 88. He broadcast 48
consecutive Rose Parades, and he was associated with KTTV, not KTLA...though I guess he spent
some time on KFI 9.

LKeller, thanks for the info. I usually pride myself on keeping up with things, but I somehow
missed the news on Mr. Welsh's passing. I'm sorry to belatedly learn about it. Bill Welsh was
most definitely an L.A. institution.

Re: Buffalo, NY November 30, 1958
Not sure the exact date but it was in 1958 when WKBW radio started their long running top 40
format.
For some reason I seem to remember reading in the Washington Post back in the mid 80s where
Buffalo's channel 7 was planning to drop the WKBW calls in favor of WKVW. This was the same
time when Cap Cities sold WKBW radio and TV to seperate owners. I wonder if the originial plan
was to save WKBW for radio but use WKVW for TV? I do remember when WWKB a few years
back was doing the oldies Entercom was looking at changing the calls from WWKB back to
WKBW but WKBW-TV bulked at the idea. Wonder why?
Of course everyone knows the call letters WKBW stood for "Well Known Bible Witness", even
though last year on another site I got into this "online fight" LOL with a 17 year old who SWORE
that WKBW meant "We Know Buffalo is Watching".
Go ahead and laugh now. Actually considering how bad the ratings have been for WKBW-TV's
news in recent years that IS funny ! !

July 4, 1958 to be exact is when Futuresonic Radio on KB began.
I never heard that possibility of WKVW-TV when CapCities was selling off stations, but I doubted
that would have ever happened.
As far as what the WKBW call letters stand for, you're BOTH right. WKBW began as Well Known
Bible Witness, but We Know Buffalo's Watching was a slogan for Channel 7.

It is very likely WKBW didn't stand for anything when the calls were issued. It was likely a
sequential call, issued only because they got their license after WKBV and before WKBX.
In general, early stations (first licensed before, say, 1930) with W prefixes and "A" or "B" as the
third letter are probably sequential calls. Most three-letter calls were also sequentially issued.
It was not unusual for such stations to create a slogan to match the sequentially-issued call
letters. (rather than the other way around)
(likewise, K stations with "Y" or "Z" as the third letter)

Re: Retro: Los Angeles, October 7, 1949
I know this posting has been here for a week or more -- but it's curious how few network shows
are on this schedule. Even on the NBC affiliate, on a Sunday night.
I know, the coax cable from the east wouldn't be around for another 2 years or so...Wasn't Jerry
Lewis & Dean Martin's Colate Comedy Hour shows done live for the west coast from LA, then
kine'd for the rest of the country, at this time?
BTW...The local cable outlet, on an access channel, will run the public-domain shows, and I
caught an entire episode of Colgate Comedy hour with them last night. Excellent quality, with
original spots and sponsor billboards. A real gem, a national treasure in the archives.

I believe the LA network lineups in 1949 were as follows:
KTSL Ch. 2 was Dumont.
KNBH Ch. 4 was NBC (O&O).
KTLA Ch. 5 was Paramount (Dumont O&O - see below).
KECA-TV Ch. 7 was ABC (O&O).
KFI-TV Ch. 9 was an independent.
KTTV Ch. 11 was CBS (partial O&O - co-owned by CBS and the LA Times)
KLAC-TV Ch. 13 was an independent.
The Paramount Television Network existed from 1949 to 1953. It distributed 5 shows - the best-
known one was A Time For Beany - to 40 affiliates at its peak in 1950. But since Paramount had a
stake in Dumont as well, the FCC considered KTLA to be a Dumont O&O, despite Dumont
programming being aired on KTSL rather than KTLA.
I never thought of Paramount as a "Network" between 1949-53..Which brings to mind the

question,,Why did Paramount basically allow the DuMont Network to fold, when they could
have, between their's and DuMont's resources, possibly sustained a Fourth network in the
1950's?
By today's (or even later in the '50s) standards it wasn't. But with no direct connection to the
east coast in those days, it was just as much a "network" as any that distributed programming via
kinescope back then - as did CBS, NBC, ABC, and Dumont prior to 1951.

Brooks & Marsh indicate that while The Colgate Comedy Hour premiered on 09/10/50, its first El
Lay originated-broadcast was not until 09/30/51. Prior to then it was "live from New York, it's
Sunday night!" or however they opened it. The left coast probably saw it via kinescope, some
days or a week later.
Apparently the El Lay-originated shows were back-hauled live to the east from the get go, since
according to this 1951 article, AT&T had the transcontinental cable up and running in time for
the first coast-to-coast TV broadcast--a speech by President Truman on 09/04/51.
It also notes the transcon Telco lines were available for regular broadcasts in either direction on
09/28/51, two days before Colgate went "live from Hollywood."
The See It Now broadcast of 11/18/51 was probably the first instance of a program to have live
shots from both coasts.

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati Friday, December 6, 1963
It's interesting to see that WCPO-TV Channel 9 in Cincinnati was still not carrying the CBS
Evening News with Walter Cronkite by this time - two weeks after the JFK assasination. Beginning
in September, both CBS and NBC with Huntley & Brinkley had expanded their evening news to 30
minutes. In fact, there was no news at all on WCPO-TV until 7 P.M although they did have 30
minutes at 12-noon each weekday.

Re: Retro: Atlanta/Chattanooga/Macon Thursday, December 6, 1962
That was my 5th birthday..I almost certainly would have watched, If I were in Atlanta, Rocky and
Friends, Popeye and Huckleberry Hound on Channel 2..
Another note:The Knute Rockne special on WAGA-5 sounds exactly like the one that aired on
WJW-TV 8 in Cleveland just a couple weeks earlier, on Tuesday, November 27. 1962, which
makes sense because both were Storer Stations. They probably bought the series in a syndicated
package deal..

Ordinarily, I'd say my family would have been tuned to ABC that night, as we always watched
Ozzie and Harriet, Donna Reed, etc, but I see Perry Mason, my father's favorite, was also on CBS.
I thought Perry always came on on Saturday night. Am I having a senior moment? Also, I'd say TV
was slim pickins in Macon with only one station on the air. Or was cable already a big deal there,
bringing in Atlanta and Columbus stations. Or, did most people invest in huge antennas to get
ATL?

Pick up a copy of Brooks & Marsh and relieve all those nagging moments.
Caution: may be habit-forming for classic TV geeks. ;D
Perry Mason held down the Saturday 7:30/6:30 slot for its first five seasons.
Starting with the 62-63 season, each of the last four seasons moved, either a
little or a lot:
Thursday 8:00/7:00
Thursday 9:00/8:00
Thursday 8:00/7:00
Sunday 9:00/8:00

It seemed that Perry Mason essentially lived and died by Jackie Gleason. When the lawyer show
debuted in 1957, Mr. Gleason had just exited his Saturday night time slot after five years (a
period including his lone 1955-56 "Classic 39" season). But after CBS persuaded "The Great One"
to return to his Saturday night berth, in what in its first four years (1962-66) was known as Jackie
Gleason and His American Scene Magazine - this, after Perry Mason hit the Top 10 in 1961-62 -
that was the beginning of the end for Perry, Della, Burger and company.

Correct. In 1962 Gleason got the Saturday 7:30 slot
on CBS, and Mason moved to Thursday. The last season
of Mason (1965-66) shaped up as a rematch of Mason vs.
"Bonanza," which had run unsuccessfully on Saturdays
against Mason (1959-61). But "Bonanza" was number one
in 1965, and head-to-head on Sundays at 9 it was no contest.

Indeed, from Bonanza's moving to Sundays at 9/8 in 1961, they left a lot of dead (ratings) victims
on CBS in its wake - a short list including not only Mason, but also the last season of The Real
McCoys, The Judy Garland Show, For the People (a legal drama starring future Star Trek captain
William Shatner), and Garry Moore's 1966 comeback attempt. It took The Smothers Brothers
Comedy Hour, in 1967, to make a dent in the Sunday 9/8 time slot.

Right. The problems began in the 1961-62 season.
"GE Theater" with Ronald Reagan became "GE True"
with Jack Webb in the fall of 1962; Jack Benny moved
to Tuesdays in the fall of 1962. The casualty list from
1962 on:
1962-63 The Real McCoys/GE True
1963-64 Judy Garland/Made In America/The
Celebrity Game (resurfaced on Thursdays

at midseason the following year)
1964-65 My Living Doll/Joey Bishop/For The People
1965-66 Perry Mason
fall 1966 Garry Moore
Yet "Bonanza" outlasted the Smothers Brothers (and
not just because of ratings), holding down the timeslot
until 1972. Then NBC put it on Tuesdays against "Maude,"
and it ended in January 1973, although I have a feeling it
would have ended anyway due to Dan Blocker's death in
the summer of '72.

This time in 1954 would have been the 4th or 5th month since my folks bought a brand new

How come WCET/48, the educational (now PBS) channel in Cincinnati is never listed in these
listings?

Re: Retro: Louisville/Lexington/Cincinnati Tuesday, December 12, 1967
In order to be included a station had to cover
at least 15% of the edition's circulation area;
WCET didn't do this, although I seem to recall
its being listed in the Dayton edition. In the
later years Chs. 5, 9, 12, 19, and 64 were listed
in the Kentucky edition.

Do you mean why it's noon one day through late afternoon the next?
Probably because this was an afternoon newspaper. BTW, it still is,
with a rather miniscule circulation in 2008.
This may have been one of the earliest instances of Guiding Light
airing on a one-day delay the next morning. (Don't forget to clip the
dated audio-over-credits and cover the dated CTN! )

It was Tom Kennedy who hosted To Say The Least and not the actor George Kennedy.

This almost certainly had to be an afternoon paper.
The [i]Birmingham News[i] did the same thing when
it was an afternoon paper (it's a morning one now).
I'm glad I never moved from another part of the country
to Tucson; I'd have had a time figuring out when everything
came on, with so many delays. BTW, I know that "Monday
Night Football" aired at 7 PM (MT), but how did most Mountain
ABC affiliates handle "The San Pedro Beach Bums"? I'm not
sure, but I keep thinking Denver delayed it to the following Sunday.
(In the Pacific time zone, it followed "MNF.")

I've mentioned this before, but back around 1980 WFMY/2
Greensboro, NC, put "Guiding Light" on a one-day delay at 9 AM.
The station got so many complaints that "GL" soon went back to
in-pattern at 3 PM and has stayed there ever since. Not likely
any Southern stations (other than Orlando and Miami) will move
the show to the morning.

...ABC's Monday fare leading into MNF was often delayed by affiliates in every time zone in order
to carry NFL-related local or syndicated fare. I remember WLUK/11 Green Bay bumping The
Rookies to Sunday afternoons in order to show a locally-produced program originating from
Packer great Fuzzy Thurston's nightclub The Left Guard...

Especially in NFL cities. WXIA Atlanta carried
"Falcons Replay" in 1975 on Mondays at 8:30;
ABC let them carry "Barbary Coast" at 7:30--
and it was not a week-behind delay! Same
thing in New Orleans, where WVUE's "From The
Pressbox" aired at 7:30 (CT); it, too, got the
early feed of "Barbary Coast" at 6:30.
As for "The San Pedro Beach Bums," no, I'm
sure few people cared; I knew people in 1978
who thought ABC still had "The Captain And
Tennille" on Mondays at 8...and it had been
canceled and replaced by "Beach Bums"! But
I still wonder how Mountain time zone ABC affiliates
generally handled the Monday-night show that otherwise
would have aired at 7 PM local time (OK, use "That's
Incredible!" or "MacGyver." Their ratings were decent.).

Pre-feed of the show at 3 or 4am Monday morning, or late afternoon Monday
between the DEF feed and ABC News? Anyone recall the time of the DEF--
4:30 ET? 5:00? And was there still a 6:00 ET feed of the news then?
I still wonder how Mountain time zone ABC affiliates generally handled the
Monday-night show that otherwise would have aired at 7 PM local time.
--Live feed at 6:00 as noted in the Tucson listings.
--10:30 or later Monday night.
--Weekend fringe time (afternoon or late night) as speculated for Denver.
I recall that, before the time change in the fall, Phoenix and Tucson ABC
stations ran the 8:00 EDT show after MNF (a la the left coast) as football
began at 6 MST.

Paul Henniger provided commentary on the listing which read as follows:
In this, the second to last episode of a cornball series, Stuf puts out $2,000 to a conniving couple
who promise him a movie career. The guys band together to get the money back and expose the
crooked pair. "Beaching" the bums became a certainty after the first show aired.
Kinda says it all.

Interesting to see this -- I've long been curious to see what the KZAZ schedule looked like during
this time period.
The owners of KZAZ, Roadrunner Broadcasting, made a bid to buy KCPQ in Tacoma, WA almost
exactly one year after the date of this schedule. At the time, KCPQ was a public TV (but with a
commercial license) station owned by the school district where I was attending high school at
the time, so I've always wondered what Roadrunner's existing station of that era looked like,
since it probably provides a pretty good clue as to what they would have done with KCPQ had
they succeeded in buying it.

I don't know when WTOG was added; I know that
I was visiting relatives in Brevard County in the summer
of 1969, and both WTOG and WBBH/20 (NBC, Ft. Myers)
were being listed. For that matter, WRDU (WRDC)/28
Raleigh/Durham signed on around the first of November
1968 but was not being listed in the North Carolina edition
in December.
To qualify for inclusion in a particular edition, a station
had to cover at least 15% of the edition's circulation area.
TV Guide might not have had that information for WTOG or
WRDU that quickly. While TV Guide might have known the
counties in each station's DMA, it might not have known how
much of the DMA the stations were actually reaching.

and wrestling. "Championship Wrestling From
Florida" aired at 10:30 AM.
Even today it's been a struggle on ABC's part
to get Ch. 9 to clear the kids' block because
of local news. They carry it, but I don't think
it's the whole three hours.

Actually, ABC Kids is a four hour block (9AM to 1PM ET), though many stations only carry the first
three hours, just to get their E/I points.

Did CHLT and CHEM not produce their own newscasts? It appears they simulcasted something
else while CFTM had local news. If that's the case then CKSH was the only local news source in
Sherbrooke, and same for CKTM in Trois-Rivieres.
Le Monde was the name of the newscasts on the Pathonic stations (regional TVA service from
CFCM Quebec City, both CHLT and CHEM were linked to the Pathonic system). AFAIK both
stations would have produced local news, but I'm not certain if they networked any news from
CFCM...
What did the Solid Gold Christmas special preempt on WPTZ 5?
I assume WPTZ ran normally ran a syndied show at 7:30...a quick check on the web indicates
NBC's early evening sked at the time had Diff'rent Strokes at 8, Silver Spoons at 8:30 and The
Rousters at 9, but I don't know if that was the actual network sked that night...

Re: Retro: Ellensburg-Jerrold Cable, June 18, 1962
So poor little KIMA had to fight for an audience while Seattle's "Big Three" were piped in. That
must have sucked...
Hmm...with just four channels listed on the system, I wonder what (if anything) filled the other
eight?

At this point, no -- Jack Paar left the show in March that year, with guest hosts filling the seat
until Johnny's arrival in October.

I actually remember Channel 18, and watching the Stu Erwin Show, which seemed very dated to
my young mind, even though it had probably been produced less than a decade previous. Seven
Hills Cable in my home town of Sunland-Tujunga (40 or so miles north-west of San Berdoo) piped
it in. It may have been LA's first UHF station, beating KCET (28) and KMEX (34) by a couple of
years.

years.
When KCHU, the real one, signed on in 1962, it had been preceded by KVCR, the then-NET
affiliate located on the campus of San Bernardino Valley College. I remember an earlier entry by
Stanislav that stated that KVCR pre-dated KCET. I don't know if KVCR was the first UHF station in
the region or not.
KCHU (now KSCI) was originally located in some warehouse space in the Sun-Telegram building in
downtown San Bernardino. Later, it relocated to a basement in the Orange Show Stadium, on
the Orange Show fairgrounds. KCHU is long gone, but the Orange Show Stadium is still standing.
It's used for weekly auto racing. Capacity is around 10,000.
The original logo of Channel 18 was a drawing of a cameraman rubbing his nose after sneezing,
hence the KCHU call letters. I'm afraid that one is not a joke.

Hey this sked sure beat Saul Levine's KMTW--two nightly shows on the original channel 52
"Travel Time" and "Sports Scope", at least that is what I recall (1966 or so) ;D

Why didn't the daytime Family Feud air on Chanel 8? It aired on Channel 7, why not 8?

"8 WTNH

Blame the network for moving the daytime Feud to Noon (which by then was a time slot prone
to preemptions for local news in the Eastern time zone) in 1980. Three years make a big
difference, because I think the daytime version was beginning to slip in the ratings by this time
(though I could be wrong).
Of course WABC-TV, being the network flagship, couldn't pre-empt. WTNH-TV did carry the
nighttime Family Feud, which was still going strong -- until the PM Wheel of Fortune overtook it
a year later.

Re: Retro: Pittsburgh, Wednesday, Dec. 6, 1950
1PM: Concert Hall (NBC or local?)
In 1950, My parents lived in Grindstone Pa. with my mom's parents. They didn't have a tv, but
they went next door to Mrs. Subolish's and watched her tv. My dad remembers Concert Hall as
being a program where in Music was played and a slide of music notes was put up on the screen.
He remembers the program as being something to fill in time when no other programing was
available. I was born in 1952. By 1954, My dad had trained to become a tv repair man and
Chessler, The local tv sailsman, new about it. When my Grandparents, bought a new tv from him
he told my dad, "I have a tv here that doesn't work. I turn it on and nothing happens. I can't sell
it so if you can fix it, you can have it." It was a Muntz tv on 4 long legs. It was taller than I was,
and the speaker was at my nees. We also had an Airking table model. So we went from having to
go to Mrs. Subolish's house to watch tv in 1950, to having 2 tvs in the same room at our house in
1954. In 1955, we moved to Flint Michigan and took the smaller one with us and left the big
Muntz for my Grandparents.

these are before my time, but I do recall my parents talking about some of them.
(ahhh, the days when Test Patterns were actually listed in the TV section!)
Pitt Parade was a newsreel-type show that was an early precursor to lifestyle features on local
news. They would show daily footage from parades, spelling bees, ribbon cuttings, and other
upbeat local events. KDKA retained a vast storeroom of this footage when they acquired WDTV,
and it is a historical treasure-trove of Pittsburgh during its heyday. KD was running some of these
for nostalgia towards the end of their 6PM newscast as recently as the late 90's. Would be great
if they could someday make them available on DVD. (bits and pieces of them frequently show up
in the Rick Sebak PBS specials that circulate nationally).
Duquesne Time was I believe a local variety show sponsored by the defunct Duquesne Brewery.
They were a long-time #2 to Iron City locally, and went out of business in the early 70's.
Steeler Hilites is self-explanatory. Although it should have been titled Steeler Lowlites. The
Steelers did not give us much to cheer about at that point in their history.

There is a broadcasting reference in this question...trust me.
Which brewery produced (the Rege Cordic specialty beer) Olde Frothlingslosh?

IIRC, that was Iron City.

Pittsburgh Brewing still produces Olde Frothingslosh around the holidays (or at least they did,
before a recent bankruptcy and re-emergence as Iron City Brewing Co.)
Allegedly it is just Iron in a nostalgic Olde Frothingslosh can. The big girl in the swimsuit is gone,
just a cartoon image of Cordic and the story behind The Pale Stale Ale for the Pale Stale Male.
(fewer and fewer of us are left around here who recall Cordic. I was too young for his radio
career but recall him as a movie host on WTAE-TV 4).
"Ahrn" is the only local brew left in these parts (if you don't count Stoney's, the brand originated
by Shirley Jones' great-grandfather....that is now produced by Iron City too). Duke bit the dust in
the early 70's and Rolling Rock was sold to Anheuser Busch a few years ago and production
moved to New Jersey. (Ironically, only to have InBev, the Belgian brewer who sold off The Rock,
acquire all of A-B a few years later).

Interesting! I had no idea that Duquesne was distributed as far away as Cleveland.
(To this day I have a tough time finding Iron City in Ohio). I believe that Carling's Black
Label was the preferred beer and major TV sponsor in Cleveland at that time.

this would have been just weeks before WIIC (WPXI) 11 took to the air.
I did not realize WENS 16 was still hanging in at the time. WSTV (WTOV) 9
from Steubenville put a huge analog signal into the Pittsburgh Area and provided a good
alternative source of programming for many years.

I had done a blog posting about DuMont in Ohio last year, mentioning WDTV-2's unique position
as a DuMont O&O, which we've discussed many times before..I got a comment stating the CBS
president Frank Stanton in 1953 was behind an idea to move the license of Channel 9
Steubenville (as yet unbuilt) to Pittsburgh as the Pittsburgh CBS affiliate. The FCC Vetoed the
move..DuMont then sold WDTV to Westinghouse a year later..

This schedule is what was listed from the Salt Lake Tribune (newspaperarchive.com, may have
been more in daytime), and shows you how small the schedule was here compared to a market
like LA or New York, which were connected to the network lines.

Since the telco lines at the time had not reached Salt Lake City, and because the networks didn't
have the funds to transmit coast-to-coast sports events, none of the bowl games that day were
shown on national television (on locally, though)
However, they were on national radio, as the Rose and Orange Bowls were on CBS (Mel Allen,
Red Barber announcing respectively), the Cotton Bowl was on NBC (Bill Stern), Mutual had the
Gator Bowl (Al Helfer), and ABC had the Sugar Bowl (with Jim Britt).

Gee, wonder what THIS show consisted of? I guess Charades was an ideal game for early TV --
very visual, simple rules, no elaborate sets or props required, etc.
KSL-TV 5 (CBS/ABC/DuMont)
7:30 Lucky Pup
The Adventures of Lucky Pup, which by some point would be (or had alreadybeen) retitled
Foodini the Great.
This schedule is what was listed from the Salt Lake Tribune (newspaperarchive.com, may have
been more in daytime), and shows you how small the schedule was here compared to a market
like LA or New York, which were connected to the network lines.
Nevertheless, I'm sure in some of these outlying, isolated early markets, to have TV at all was
pretty exciting, despite the relative blandness of the schedule.

Meanwhile over in the next state to the east Colorado..it would still be a few years before
Denver would get it's first TV station.
I remember reading on this site that despite the lack of a local TV station, TV sets were actually
being sold in Denver. With that being said, I wonder if those in Denver were able to get some
dx'ing out of Salt Lake City at the time of these listings? Kansas City? Albuquerque?

Salt Lake and Albuquerque are too close for skip, and tropo wouldn't make it over the
mountains. Kansas City, certainly possible but probably not very often.
I've read articles in the TV repair trade magazines of the time confirming that people were
buying TV sets in Denver well before they got their first station. They were indeed DXing --
Kansas on tropo, pretty much everywhere on skip.

I've mentioned this before, but I'm told that some Denverites in that era had a "phone chain" of
sorts where they would alert one another when "skip" was in so they could watch some TV. I
think the whole thing was organized by an enterprising TV dealer who had prematurely laid in a
stock of sets in anticipation of the coming of local TV, then was stymied by the "freeze." This
enabled him to sell off some of his otherwise useless sets.
If it seems odd for more modern viewers to imagine trying to enjoy a TV show via skip,
remember that back then there were very few stations on the air, so you generally avoided the
CCI problems of multiple stations trying to come in on the same channel. While you would still
have to deal with the inherent fading and variations in signal level, a stable enough skip "cloud"
could provide relatively steady reception to the same area for a long enough period of time to
hone in on one station and follow a single program. Though, given the seasonal nature of skip,
there would have been long periods of the year when nothing was in. Fortunately, the whole
makeshift setup would only last a couple of years until the freeze was lifted and Denver got its
first local station.

Roberta Quinlan was a singer-pianist with a show
on NBC at the time.
I know that it wasn't uncommon in the early days
for stations to sign on and off throughout the day,

and "test pattern" would be listed when it came on,
but this "test pattern" listing defies explanation.

In this case, it was a lookalike show, "You Wanted To See It", also hosted by Jack Smith.

30 years gone by, and the more things change, the more they stay the same. D.C. still doesn't
