Certainly an interesting collection of both local & network shows from that mid-60's period.

I assume "10-A-GO-GO" featured both live and recorded music along with local young ladies as go-go girls. Having it right after American Bandstand sounds like someone knew how to program.

The SEC basketball game on both Channels 6 & 13 with Kentucky & Auburn would have featured the Kentucky team who were known as "Rupp's Runts" because they were all 6-5 or shorter. That's the team who lost to Texas Western (now Texas El-Paso) in the NCAA Finals at the end of that season.

I also note "Let's Go To The Races" on Channel 10. That show was shown in many cities and had filmed races with a local host and usually a tie-in with a local supermarket where you got the printed material for playing along.

Later on (as past schedules here indicated), it would become "10's Bandstand", only to leave the air before the 1970s started.

It was revived in the early-1980s, but with a nationwide hosts commenting on the race and the winning tickets. In the Tampa Bay area, WTOG carried that version for Grand Union supermarkets.
