Hello
For our first pure historical posting in awhile I thought we'd look at January 1958.

Doug Adair was doing a 9:55AM News bulletin weekdays on channel 8..

The Syndicated "Liberace" aired weekdays at 11:30 on channel 5

8:55 AM News was being aired by Channel 3 (Tom Haley) and 5 (Court Stanton or Bill Prentice)

Tom Field returned to Cleveland at WEWS-5 from WRCV-3 Philadelphia, replacing John B. Hughes..

In a letter to TV Guide, One Bill Sanders of Canton was not pleased with the change: "I understand that Ton Field is returning to Cleveland to replace JOHN B. HUGHES AND THE NEWS on Channel 5. Why? I have enjoyed Hughes and his staff and the manner in which they give the news coverage. I doubt that Tom Field can offer anything close in this line of service."

John Daly News was aired weeknights at 7:15 on WKST-45 and WAKR-49..

In Pro Basketball, on NBC The Minneapolis Lakers took on the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden Saturday, Jan. 25 at 2PM (Knicks won 128-116)

"Spirtuals" was the name of the program Mary Holt hosted on Sunday mornings at 9:30on KYW-TV 3..Miss Holt passed away last week at the age of 89..

Sitcom, "Date With The Angels", with Betty White and Bill Williams, ends its ABC Run Friday, Jan. 31, 1958 at 9:30, being replaced the next week by a sketch variety show starring..Betty White! She is enjoying a well deserved surge of popularity these days, helped by starring in the TV Land original series, "Hot In Cleveland"


NBC:Portion of It Could Be You with Bill Leyden in a Nighttime Episode from September 1958..Sort of a takeoff on "This Is Your Life" Or "Queen For A Day"
