TV
Well, we see here the point I made last time about multiple network affiliations during this time frame.
ReplyDeleteWith only one or two stations in town, the three networks probably did a lot of horse trading to get their shows as much circulation as possible.
Only Albany-Schenectady-Troy had all the nets free and clear; all the other towns were mixing and matching to beat the band.
I makes me grateful to have grown in Chicago, with everybody represented equally.
About that CKWS 10 pm movie:
It's "Jim Hanvey, Detective", from Republic in 1937.
'Jim Hanvey' was the creation of Octavus Roy Cohen, who appeared in several novels and many magazine short stories.
There were seveal attempts to turn 'Hanvey' into a movie "franchise", all of which came to naught.
This picture was the last one; Republic thought they had the right star in Guy Kibbee, who was sort of the Edgar Buchanan of his era (he was one of Frank Capra's regulars).
That didn't happen, and when Republic began selling off its library to TV the pic got cut down to a "TV hour" (from an original 70 minute length), which seems to be the case with the Canadian station.
And I vividly remember going outside on a Saturday night in the dead of a Finger Lakes winter to turn the antenna north to Canada so my dad and I could watch Hockey Night in Canada from CKWS.

ReplyDeleteChannel 8 in Syracuse (CBS) eventually swapped channel allotments with WHEC in Rochester (Channel 5-CBS) when the ABC affiliate (Channel 9 in Syracuse) opened in 1962 to avoid next-channel interference. Channel 35 outside of Albany eventually became WAST-Channel 13.
ReplyDeleteI've always understood that this was also to address next-channel issues with CBLT in Toronto, then on Channel 6.
DeleteThat may be, Anonymous. But I know it had a lot to do with Channel 9. However, When WKTV in Utica switched from Channel 13 (also because Channel 35 in Albany eventually became ABC 13), WKTV was assigned Channel 2. For those of us who watched Syracuse stations, an improper rotor move would get a serious clash between NBC in Utica and Channel 3 NBC in Syracuse...

DeleteThe "News" listed at 6:45 P.M. on several stations with CBS affiliations was likely the "CBS Evening News", then anchored by Douglas Edwards.
ReplyDeleteIt also appears that NBC's "Huntley/Brinkley Report" wasn't seen at all in this region, despite it's rapidly-growing popularity.
You know, I wondered about that. None of the stations broke out the national news as being separate from local, so I figured at least some of those 15 minute broadcasts had to be national. All they did was list "News," perhaps because they could save a little room. First time I've ever encountered this on more than just the stray channel.
Delete"DOUGLAS EDWARDS WITH THE NEWS" was telecast nationally at 6:45pm(et). However, several CBS stations [including New York's WCBS-TV] scheduled the "delayed edition" (either "live", or on tape) at 7:15pm. "THE HUNTLEY-BRINKLEY REPORT" was also seen at 6:45pm on most NBC stations (with several "delaying" it to 7:15pm as well).
DeleteAt the time, "JOHN DALY AND THE NEWS" was telecast over most ABC stations at 7:15pm(et).

DeleteHappy 93rd Birthday today to star of "LOVE THAT JILL", Anne Jeffreys!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday indeed - thanks for the heads-up, Chuck!
DeleteWCNY in Watertown (which became WWNY in 1965) was a triple (ABC, CBS, NBC) affiliate for many years as it was the only station in its market until the mid 1980s. It has always had a large viewer base for a small-market station due to its reach into eastern Ontario.
ReplyDeleteCKWS had the licensed Canadian version of Howdy Doody which featured Robert Goulet as Trapper Pierre and William Shatner as Ranger Bob (in 1954).
