1962 TV Guide Ad for Mickey Mouse Club Reruns weekday on Channel 8.
WKBN ad for the Ohio State-Michigan Game..From TV Guide
This time, I thought we would look at the last week of November, 1962. Particularly with the Ohio State Michigan game coming up. The week in Television according to TV Guide..
Barnaby's Party on Saturdays (7:30-10AM) was a big 2 and one half hours long on KYW-TV 3..WJW countered at 8AM with B'wana Don, a show originating from Storer Broadcasting in Detroit and also aired in Toledo on WSPD-13.
WEWS-TV 5 carried Ensign O'Toole, a military comedy starring Dean Jones and Jack Albertson Thursdays at 7PM..What was unusual about this was that it was a current NBC program, usually carried Sundays at 7. KYW aired David L. Wolper's Biography Series in it's place.
ABC's only 2 color series were The Jetsons (Sunday, 7:30) and The Flintstones (Friday, 7:30.) However, Channel 33 Youngstown and 49 Akron did not carry these shows in color..
On the opposite side Outside of the above mentioned shows, The only show Channel 5 aired in color regularly was the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson..
Dale Young Time aired Monday-Friday 11-12 Noon on WJW-TV 8..as an answer to One O Clock Club on 5 and Mike Douglas on 3..The show only lasted from October 1, 1962-Into the Spring of 1963. Co hosts were Ernie Anderson and later, Jim Doney..
First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy was profiled in "The World of Jacqueline Kennedy" Friday, November 30, 1962 at 10PM on NBC (3,21)
The 1962 Michigan at Ohio State game was aired by the CBS Network with Lindsay Nelson, Jim Simpson and Terry Brennan as announcers..The 1962 game had similarities to this year's in that Ohio State had a winning record (6-3), though at 4-2 in the Big Ten they were tied with Northwestern for 3rd Place. Wisconsin won the Big Ten while Minnesota was second..Michigan was last with a 1-6 league record 2-7 overall.. Ohio State won the 1962 game 28-0.
In 2008 Michigan is next to last at 2-5 and 3-8 overall..while Ohio State at 6-1 and 9-2 is in a 3-way tie with Michigan State and Penn State for the Big Ten lead...

Great post, except for a few small mistakes regarding WKST-TV. Actually the station signed on in April of 1953 in New Castle, Pennsylvania originally as an independent until they acquired the rights to ABC and Dumont network programming a few months later. This version of channel 45 signed off the first week of January, 1955,,,the TV GUIDE announcement mentioned that, amongst other issues, they were planning on moving their facilities to Youngstown Ohio which they did. In November of 1957 they were broadcasting from their current studios at 3800 Shady Run Road. In late November or early December of 1959 the station switched to the 33 designation, becoming WYTV in September of 1963 (not 1964) on the first day of the ABC fall season.
ReplyDelete(By the way, WKST-TV was in no ways connected with WKST radio which is still broadcasting as part of Clear Channel. I was told that the original owners of the television station had concocted some sort of "fishy" scam to use these call letters since the FCC was very wary of giving broadcasters who were not established in radio licenses. After awhile the FCC reversed this decision only to change their minds later on, but for the record the two stations were not related in any way other than their call letters.)
Actually I don't fault you a bit for these errors, since the Wikipedia listing for channel 33 has these very mistakes and its not like there is much information, correct or otherwise, readily available. I've done the research and thought you'd like to be corrected on these rather minute errors.
Great blog...please post more! (I'm looking for more information on the long-gone WICA-TV channel 15 in Ashtabula myself!)
