I can't find who was anchoring Ch. 2's 11 PM news at the time,
but a year later Fred Briggs was the anchor; Ray Moore was
doing only the 6 PM news; Hal Suit was the noon anchor.

And as for Ch. 11 airing "I Love Lucy" reruns in the morning,
yes, they were on CBS at the time; 11 picked up an occasional
CBS program pre-empted on WAGA (11 had Walter Cronkite at
one time when 5 pre-empted him in favor of "Amos 'n' Andy").
 
Another ABC affiliate that picked up programs not cleared by the local CBS affiliate was WSIX-8 in Nashville (now WKRN-2). I remember that they carried the 9-10 a.m. sitcom reruns that weren't carried on WLAC-5 (now WTVF).
