Carolina-Tennessee TV Guide - Thurs. Feb. 2, 1961
I use (5) to designate a black TV Guide channel listing. 3 is a white listing. You'll notice that Knoxville had a full-time ABC affiliate and Greenville-Spartanburg sort of had two. But in 1961 Charlotte and Kingsport-Johnson City-Bristol had only two VHF stations, no stations on UHF and no fulltime ABC affiliates. And there were no Educational stations in this region yet.
You'll notice that EVERY station in this TV Guide runs something different at 10:30 except the two UHF ABC stations. I wonder why? Since there are no O&O stations in this TV Guide, I don't know what network shows these stations were skipping. I think Mike Hammer and Jim Backus were syndicated offerings. In a few other cases, stations with two network affiliates may have used 10:30 Thursday to run a show they failed to air earlier in the week.
