Of course, North Dakota would get its' own TV Guide edition a few years later.Ken Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658517406339380796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-20425453160181371912018-11-01T17:46:06.846-04:002018-11-01T17:46:06.846-04:00Perhaps the syndicators of "Boxing From St. N...Perhaps the syndicators of "Boxing From St. Nicholas Arena" had the bouts air live in New York and flew kinescope recordings to other stations taking the show for broadcast later that week.Jofushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591730159623555357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-74855643697656771422018-11-01T17:43:46.194-04:002018-11-01T17:43:46.194-04:00I think Camel (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in...I think Camel (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in 12956; five nights a week a few years prior to that) and Plymouth (Tuesdays and Thursdays) probably stopped sponsoring NBC's nightly newscast when John Cameron Swayze was removed from it in October of 1956.<br /><br />I'm not 100% sure, but I think the network may in the beginning have just called it "NBC News", but if they did, that title didn't last very long.<br /><br />Huntley and Brinkley began to take off in the ratings in the fall of 1957, after NBC moved their newscast back to either 6:45 or 7:15 P.M. Eastern time (5:45 or 6:15 Central); with affiliates having the option of taking either feed. <br /><br />For their first year, Chet and David had to compete against entertainment shows on ABC and CBS (at one time, Douglas Edwards' "CBS Evening News" aired from 7:30-7:45 Eastern; but in the fall of 1955, CBS likewise moved the news to either 6:45 and 7:15 Eastern, depending on the station).Jofushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591730159623555357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-29216627378487413802018-11-01T17:38:18.692-04:002018-11-01T17:38:18.692-04:00"Playhouse 90" was "Playhouse 85&qu..."Playhouse 90" was "Playhouse 85" this week!Jofushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591730159623555357noreply@blogger.com
