What's on TV? Monday, July 25, 1955




Usually, it's not too difficult to figure out network affiliations, even without looking at the channel guide at the beginning of the listings. I have to admit, however, that this Lake Ontario edition is a challenge. Not only do we have a couple of Canadian stations broadcasting American programming, we still have DuMont to deal with, not to mention an ABC lineup that's so negligible, almost every split affiliate (and there are none solely dedicated to ABC in this issue) chooses to air the other network's programming. But you'll have a great time looking at them anyway!
