What's on TV? Saturday, July 11, 1964

Today's July 11: 7/11, in other words. Should be a lucky day, right? Actually, there wasn't a lot to choose from this week, with the convention coverage dominating the weeknight schedule. There's still a lot of political programming today, with ABC devoting three separate half-hours to convention prep. There's plenty more to the day, though, including Wide World of Sports coverage of Champagne Tony Lema's victory in the British Open. The listings are from the Twin Cities.

  1. I noticed that one could watch new episodes (Meaning earlier in the year, of course, since they would be in reruns by this time) of "The King and Odie" on the first season of Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales (CBS), and new episodes of the final season of The Bullwinkle Show (NBC), and then watch the syndicated reruns of each later in the afternoon on the independent channel. Add the airings of Bugs Bunny, Beany and Cecil, The Alvin Show, and Hector Heathcote to that, and I don't think I would have left the house on Saturdays.

  2. "THE CBS SATURDAY NEWS", scheduled at 12:30 Eastern/11:30 Central, wasn't seen on WCCO. They made more money locally scheduling the syndicated "SUPERCAR" instead.
