Night Train (early 60's) at WFAA-TV?

B

Bob E. Nelson

I'm attempting to confirm if a program named ``Night Train''
was produced at WFAA-TV back in the early 60's. The program
was hosted by Bill ``Hoss'' Allen of Nashville's WLAC Radio,
featuring R&B music.

Instead of being done in Nashville, Dallas's WFAA-TV handled
the production due to its facilities and support for color,
which Nashville stations did not have at that time.

- Was that program indeed produced at channel 8?

I believe it was called "The Beat"
