Request Detroit Friday March 11 1960

M

mbayus

I've been wanting a retro listings for a week day in March 1960 for the Detroit/Flint area of Michigan for quite some time now. I find on this board threads for every year but 1960. I was 8 years old back then, and I use to "watch" a show call Boof Land (I thought they said Hoof Land but they didn't) and everybody thinks I made it up. I lived in Flint back then, so Channel 9 didn't come in very well, and I had to listen through the white, or if I was lucky, pink noise. If I could read a schedule for a week day in 1960, I could prouve that I really "watched" the things I say I "watched". I am a blind person, and I use a talking screen reader, and a very nice lady named Heather, she is my screen reader's voice, reads things to me that I otherwise wouldn't be able to read, since I can't see the printed page, or see a computer screen. I've ask before, but to no avail. If any one has a week day for Detroit in 1960, I would be really happy! It doesn't actually have to be for March 11th, but the 12th is my birthday, and it was a Saturday that year. Thanks.
 
So, what have you guys got against detroit in 1960. I've been trying to see how many posters on this board have seen this thread, but I can't access the number of views or replies for some reason. All I know is that for as many years that I have known about this board, and that is about 8 years, I think, and as many times as I have suggested that there be a post of retro listings for detroit in 1960, and as many times that I have explained why I don't give us a posting myself, well, I wonder why I havn't read one yet. I am beginning to feel left out. I enjoy reading retro schedules particularly ones from my child hood in the 1950s and 1960s, I am starting to feel ignored. Not that I'm special, or anything like that, but I've asked for a detroit 1960 listing in order to find out how Boofland fitted in to Channel 9's broadcast day. I use to watch it, but my brother and Syster think I made it up. How about it?
Thanks.
 
If people don't have it, they just don't have it..

I have a source that might have something..I'll see if I can come up with anything..
 
Well, Tim L, I guess that sums it up. And Just so you know, I particularly enjoy your stuff, because I was born in Pittsburgh, and moved to Flint when I was 3. My Mom remembers WDTV, and when I was little, I think about 5, and we would visit I thought the annnouncer said: "This is Kiddy Kay Westinghouse Pittsburgh!". That's what I really thought they said, instead of KDKA.
I'll "look" forward to any links you might post up that might have the Detroit listings I could read, or if you have one, I would enjoy reading it.
Thanks.
