It sounds like Channel 3 pre-empted the show, leaving NBC free
to offer it to Channel 5 or Channel 8. My local ABC affiliate
at the time, WRAL/5 Raleigh, also carried Bill Dana's show (Fridays
at 10:30), but we did not have a full-time NBC affiliate at the time.

BPatrick:
I don't doubt the probability that 5 did air Bill Dana's show. It's just that beyond Johnny Carson's regular spot on channel 5 rather than NBC affiliate KYW at this time, the network stations in Cleveland almost never aired anything from a competing network by the mid 1960's...
