What's on TV? Thursday, July 21, 1955

You'll notice that KEYD, the Minneapolis channel that will eventually become KMSP, is shown as a DuMont affiliate. but that isn't saying much anymore. It's the last season for DuMont, and their only remaining scheduled program is Monday night's Boxing from St. Nicholas Arena (you'll remember, that's the crummy matchup I mentioned on Saturday). So Channel 9 is, for all practical purposes, an independent, and will remain so until they take the ABC affiliation from WTCN in 1961. You can also see that some stations, such as Rochester's KROC, have gaps in their programming (unless, that is, their version of Feather Your Nest runs for four hours). It could be that they've signed off temporarily (although that was more prevalent earlier in the decade), but it's also possible that TV Guide got things wrong; there have been occasions when they've listed two different programs at the same time for one channel. The very imperfection, though, is what makes it that much more interesting than the newer editions, isn't it? This is a very early version of the Minnesota State Edition, in case you hadn't figured it out.
