9:00 Tattletales
9:30 New $25.000 Pyramid
At that time, WATL had Tattletales and $25,000 Pyramid bicycled to them on a week delay, presumably because they had no access to CBS's transmissions. And many times, they'd repeat a week of shows several times because of tapes that didn't get delivered to them. They had access to NBC as Sale Of The Century and Just Men! didn't get repeated.
 
Remarkable that WSB would carry the syndicated HLN product when WTBS, owned by the same company, was a direct competitor.
