What's on TV? Wednesday, August 7, 1963

This week it's a return trip to St. Louis; the last time we had a TV Guide from this area was last year, but back then the issue was from 1977. Only five stations to choose from, as was the case with so many metropolitan areas in the early '60s, and the educational station doesn't sign on until after dinner. Let's see what we have to choose from.

Have I mentioned this before? American Newsstand, hosted by Bill Lord, was ABC's attempt to introduce a newscast that would appeal to a younger audience, a la American Bandstand. Perhaps it would have had more success if it had been anchored by Dick Clark - you know, I don't doubt he could have pulled it off.
