What's on TV? Tuesday, April 10, 1956

There's a good amount of distance between Dallas and Fort Worth. It's not like the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, which share a border; while they're closer now because of the sprawl, they're still two distinct cities. Even so, it's interesting to see the odd affiliate-sharing system between WBAP and WFAA, where they seem to take turns carrying NBC and ABC shows. For example, WFAA has Dinah Shore's 15-minute show (guest hosted tonight by Gordon MacRae), but WBAP has her one-hour special later in the same evening. I guess if it works for them, it works for us, in this Dallas-Fort Worth edition.
