From TV Guide, Central Florida Edition:

WESH Ch. 2 Daytona Beach/Orlando (NBC)

11 AM Pat Boone (Pat sings "Georgy Girl." That must
have been something.)

...yeah, but it still was probably closer to the original than his desecration of Little Richard's "Tutti-Frutti" was. The Seekers should be thankful they lived in Australia when America was being subjected to this program ;D ...

WEDU Ch. 3 Tampa (NET)

8:30 World Of Books (the host is named
Haslam, and I used to be a frequent
customer at Haslam's Bookstore in
St. Petersburg--wonder if it's the
same person)

Yes he was -- don't know his first name, but Haslam's bookstore has been a longtime St. Pete institution, which is still around today. Mr. Haslam, whose weekly book show would later move to WTOG, died in the mid-1980s.

Been there a few times myself, although not in many years. I'd still rather spend hours in a shop like Haaslam's before I spend 10 minutes in a Barnes & Noble, etc.

WLCY (WTSP) Ch. 10 St. Petersburg (ABC)
6 PM Movie: "Ma And Pa Kettle
Go To Town"

...to search for some newfangled thing called a "DTV converter."
Not having any luck, they get on the telephone and ask Sarah
to ring Sen. Rocky-feller's office. Their "don't take away my TV"
complaint finds its way to the senator in Washington and voila!--
the DTV transition is delayed until June.

WTVT Ch. 13 Tampa (CBS)
7:30 Coliseum

Mid-season replacement for the failed fall series Jericho. No, not
that Jericho, the first Jericho (fall '66).

From the Brooks & Marsh synopsis, Coliseum seemed to be in some
ways a revival of International Showtime, but was itself gone in June.

 

[bpatrick]

The only difference is that "Coliseum" had a different
guest host each week (Art Linkletter on this particular
night), whereas "International Showtime" was hosted by
Don Ameche for its entire four-year run. A better example
of a revival of "International Showtime" (by the same producers,
in fact) was "Circus!" with Bert Parks as host; it ran in syndication
back around 1972 and was rerun on WGN for years.

A couple of other things. First, re Haslam's, what I liked about
that store was that it had both new and used books, and its
inventory would put Borders and Barnes & Noble to shame.
Second, I notice some similarities in the Tampa daytime schedules
for 1967 and when I moved there in '73. For instance, Mike Douglas
was still on Ch. 13 at 9 AM, while Merv was still on Ch. 8 at 4:30;
Ch. 8 had a morning movie from 9-10:30 (which they dropped in the
fall of 1973 and carried the entire NBC daytime lineup in pattern for
the three years I lived there) and a 1 PM newscast. I also notice
Mike at 4:30 on Ch. 11; he was still there in the '70s, while Merv
was on at 10:30 AM. Of course, the network schedules had changed.

You may notice that both ABC stations (9 and 10) carried Peter
Jennings at 5:30; ABC had four feeds of its newscast at the time,
and we got Jennings at 5:30 in Norfolk in 1967. By the time I moved
to Florida, Howard K. Smith and Harry Reasoner were anchoring ABC's
newscast with only three feeds (6, 6:30, and 7); Ch. 10 carried them
at 6; Ch. 9, at 6:30. Walter Cronkite was on Ch. 13 at 7 in the '70s,
as he was on 11 for a time.

A better example of a revival of "International Showtime" (by the same producers, in fact) was "Circus!" with Bert Parks as host; it ran in syndication back around 1972 and was rerun on WGN for years.

I seem to recall Circus! airing in New York on WCBS-TV (Ch. 2) from 1971 to about 1973.

8:45 Soviet News Conference

What normally aired on the NBC affiliates that week.

8:45-9 ET was the balance of Today; 9-10 ET was local on the east coast (the first hour
of Today was re-fed on the network for CT.

 

[RALfan]

I mean what normally aired on both WESH and WFLA that week.

 

[bpatrick]

WESH and WFLA carried the "Today" show until 9 AM.
WESH carried "Hennesey" at 9 and Burns and Allen at
9:30; WFLA carried movies from 9-10:30.
