What's on TV? Saturday, July 13, 1963

As you know from Saturday's entry, we're in the Wash-Balt market this week, And since I gave the area such a thorough once-over on Saturday we'll just skip right to the programming, if that's all right with you.  Or even if it isn't.

The TV Guide notes that the listings for WBOC, Channel 13, and WSBA, Channel 43, are the national listings only, not local.  I've occasionally seen two separate stations that carried exactly the same programming (for example, KNMT, Channel 13 in Walker, Minnesota, was identical to KCMT, Channel 7 in Alexandria), but I've not seen something like this before.  But then, there's a first time for everything.

  1. Good schedule. Can you find a TV listings of that era from my hometown of Kansas City?

    1. Indeed I can! I know that I have two Kansas City issues from the end of November/beginning of December 1963. I'm always happy to handle requests - any day of the week in particular?

  2. Great Saturday schedule from 1963! Say, could you please try to find a set of TV listings from the Greater St. Louis market from either the 1960s, 1970s, or the 1980s? I would really appreciate it if you can do so. Thank you.
