What's on TV? Thursday, October 17, 1957

Another week, another look-in at television in DFW. We discussed most of today's highlights in our Saturday review, so let's get straight to the listings for the entire day. Note how the 15-minute program still dominates so many of the morning schedules, a carryover from the days of radio.

  1. Note that "Honeymooners" episodes were being rerun as early as 1957. Who would have guessed they'd still be on the air nearly 60 years later?
    BTW, I assume all the network programs were aired live or in a few cases on kinescope. When would stations in a market like Dallas get their own tape machines?
