9:00 Sesame Street (strange to see this on Ch. 11)

For several years through the late 70's,Sesame Street aired in syndication on stations that didn't have a PBS affiliate. I'm surprised that the PBS affiliate in New York didn't carry Sesame Street.

They did -- Highwayman only posted the skeds for the VHF commercial stations.

For the first year or so, both WPIX and WNET carried Sesame Street.

They did carry Sesame Street, but they apparently only carried it in the afternoon and the producers of the show preferred to have a morning airing because it better fit the schedule for preschoolers. The result was that it aired in the morning on 11 and in the afternoon on 13.
