And I thought some stations in my part of the country, particularly
WSB, were pre-emption happy! But Ohio stations seemed to take
the cake, particularly in the daytime; we know how WLWT and its
sister stations bumped NBC's programming at 10 AM for Paul Dixon,
and from noon-1:30 for the 50/50 Club. But I see on this listing
pre-emptions on NBC from noon to 2 (WSB did the same thing), and
I see Tennessee Ernie Ford, "Father Knows Best," and "American
Bandstand" missing on WEWS, as well as "General Hospital" on delay.
Then I see Channel 3 pre-empting Carson (you've explained about that).
And Channel 49 appears to have two prime-time half-hours it regularly
pre-empts: 7:30 and 9:30. As for Channel 8, I see "As The World Turns"
on delay and "The Nurses" pre-empted.

An independent bunch, those Ohio affiliates.

So, WEWS carried a whopping 5 minutes of American Bandstand?

And it appears that WAKR carried 30 minutes of AB, broke for local programming for 25 minutes and re-joined the net for 5 minutes? That's kind of insane.

American Bandstand was only 30 minutes..Discovery 63 at 4:30 was also an ABC Network show..4:55 was "Americn NEWSstand" a 5 minute news show, also on the network..WEWS didnt carry weekday Bandstand at all by this time..In just a couple of weeks after this Bandstand would be moved off weekdays to Saturdays only..

Jeez, I completely misread that. I've got to start getting more sleep. Thanks.
