I thought around that time WICU was NBC/ABC, and WSEE was just CBS? What's the story in Erie?

Before I started researching these schedules, I thought the same thing. just months earlier in fall 1960 WICU 12 had been NBC and WSEE 35 CBS/ABC, There was a change by summer '61 (as the posted schedule indicates) but by January 1965 WICU 12 was NBC/ABC and WSEE 35 CBS. In 1966 WJET 24 would come along and grab the ABC affiliation. Most TV stations don't have History sections on their websites, which would make the research easier.

In Jeff Kisseloff's oral history of television from 1920 to
1961, "The Box," there are a couple of chapters about DuMont.
In one of them, a former DuMont executive mentions that WICU got
all of its equipment free from DuMont but had to clear all
DuMont shows in exchange (he mentions WCPO Cincinnati having
the same arrangement). Do you have any Erie schedules from
the DuMont era? I'd like to see what all they had and when
WICU ran their shows.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by bpatrick on 06/08/05 06:28 PM.</FONT></P>
