"Sherrif of Cochise" aka as "US Marshal" Thursdays at 10:30 PM on KYW-TV..Smaller Low power networks still show this on occasion
Ad for the Syndicated "Douglas Fairbanks Jr." on WEWS Friday nights at 10:30PM
Rev. Rex Humbard, from the Calvary Temple, which became Cathedral of Tomorrow
Wednesday, January 29, 1958:US Steel Hour Starring Andy Griffith on CBS:and Ozzie And Harriet on ABC, in their sixth season..
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"

"Dimension" Cleveland TV History Special-WVIZ--1988
The Classic WVIZ-25 Logo from 1978-From a still of a YouTube video from RobtatSea
Featured in this post will be a YouTube Video-Part of the WVIZ-TV "Dimension" Series of hour long monthly specials. This is from 1988. A History of Cleveland Televison as it was then..40 years in..Hosted by Jack Marschall, who had just weeks/months before this started at WUAB-TV's Ten O Clock News..and Anne Mulligan, who may have been at Channel 8 at this time..Producer was Dennis Goulden, known first at KYW-TV in 1964, then as producer of the long running "Montage" series (1966-84) on WKYC-TV 3..The hour is all too brief, as most shows of this type are. Run in tandem with PBS' "Television" history series (Not "Pioneers Of Television" currently being shown), There are clips galore, though many of them would be reused on later TV station retrospectives..There are a number of "New" Interviews with pioneers and then-current station representatives such as..
Tom Haley, WKYC
Jim Breslin, Don Webster WEWS (Webster was station manager)
Chuck Schodowski, Dick Goddard, Lou Gatozzi WJW
Dennis Thatcher WOIO
Betty Cope, Mike Massa WVIZ
Alice Weston, Gib Shanley WUAB
Also mentioned:WCLQ-61..Which had just recently become WQHS-61, having been purchased by Home Shopping Network..
Interesting look into local TV of the mid-1980's..a few years before HD and digital tv was thought of..
