"Broadway Open House" -- which NBC affiliates did (and didn't) clear it?

Ultimajock

...I was watching the video at http://www.archive.org/details/BroadwayOpenHouse-14december1950 over the weekend and a couple of questions popped into my head:

1) That "page" that interrupts Jerry Lester at about three minutes into the kinnie -- isn't that an incredibly young Gene Wood?
2) Lester mentions Chicago and Cleveland as two markets carring the show. Anyone have any listings of the period (May 1950 to August 1951) that would confirm which NBC stations carried "Broadway Open House" and which (apparently) didn't?...

My dad used to watch that show on WFMY Greensboro. Although
a CBS primary affiliate, in the early '50s WFMY was the only station
in the Triad and carried shows from NBC, ABC, and DuMont as well,
which is how "Broadway Open House" got on in Greensboro. BTW,
when I mentioned Dagmar, the weathergirl on CBS Atlanta (WGCL),
it automatically made him think of Dagmar on Jerry Lester's show.

For Certain, WNBQ Chicago and WNBK Cleveland carried it..I would Think WNBT New York and WRC-TV Washington carried it, not sure who else otherwise..

oburn---Do any of you punctuation keys work? And while we're at it, does your "shift" key work for capitalization? Your posts are very difficult to read.

Thanks!
