When did NBC feed Classroom--6-7am ET? 1-2pm? Was there
normally more than one "episode" available to air each day?

For a number of years CBS fed Sunrise Surprise* during the "dead"
half-hour 1-1:30pm ET, for airing the next morning.

In "The TV Schedule Book," Castleman and
Podrazik show "Sunrise Semester" airing at
1 PM on CBS for most of its run (12 Noon by
1980). But "Continental Classroom" is shown
airing on NBC 6-7 AM, so I'm assuming that
was the feed, rather than one the affiliates
taped for early-morning airing.

As for "Linkletter And The Kids," I don't know
anything about it--whether it was the best of
his "House Party" interviews with kids or a
completely separate program. I do know that
around 1963 Ch. 2 began rerunning "People Are
Funny" at 9:30 AM (interestingly, here at home,
Ch. 12 in Winston-Salem, also NBC, was rerunning
"People Are Funny" at the same time, and the two
CBS affiliates--WAGA and WFMY--were rerunning
John Guedel's third classic, syndicated as "Best Of
Groucho" (You Bet Your Life, of course) at 1 PM).
