What's on TV? Sunday, January 31, 1960



I mentioned last week ago how WGBH, the educational channel in Boston, acted almost as a secondary NBC affiliate, broadcasting The Huntley-Brinkley Report because WBZ had a grudge against the network. Well, this week, we see that WGBH is taking on some programming from CBS as well, including Camera Three and CBS Television Workshop, the last five minutes of which include Harry Reasoner's news update. Then, they turn back to NBC at the end of the afternoon for Meet the Press and Chet Huntley Reporting. I suppose WBZ figured nobody would recognize Huntley on their channel! As you can tell, this is the Eastern New England edition.
