I would have LOVED Mr. Bill's Cartoons on Channel 13-6:30-9:30AM..THREE HOURS daily-except for that 5-minute Farm Report..
 
Even though his running time decreased over the
years, and was finally replaced by Good Morning
America, Mr. Bill was an institution in the market.
Lots of Bugs Bunny and Popeye cartoons, plus news
and weather (best place to go when it snowed to
find out if school was open or not). I never cared
much for the later Our Gang comedies he showed
(when Spanky and Alfalfa were getting into their
teens, and Robert Blake was on using his real name,
Mickey Gubitosi); Ch. 4 had the ones from the '30s,
which (IMHO) are far superior.

Mr. Bill also had a Saturday show, Mr. Bill And Bumbo;
Bob Caldwell was Bumbo the clown. It was, IIRC, Caldwell's
first job at WLOS (starting around '66) before he starting doing
weather in the late '60s. Both men have retired in the last
couple of years.
 
A thought just occurred to me. WTVK (WVLT)
ran Jane Wyman twice, at noon and again at 1,
which would be her airtime on the Central time
zone feed (noon in the Central time zone).

I also notice Yours For A Song at 12:30 and
Camouflage at 1:30 on WSOC; these would
be 11:30 and 12:30 Central. I also believe,
even though it isn't listed, that WSOC carried
Alex Dreier's newscast at 1:55. Would WSOC
be able to tap into the Central feed (say through
Chicago) and run live feeds of these shows rather
than tape-delay them? Remember, NBC was down
from 1 to 2.
