Interestingly, no listings for WTIU/30 (PBS) Bloomington, WURD/40 (Ind.) Indianapolis, or WLBC-TV/49 (NBC/ABC) Muncie.
 
Interesting that in a city as large as Indianapolis, as late as 1971 TWO of their local stations ( WTTV & WISH ) were still airing their local news in wonderful black & white. I know as late as 1975 many local stations were doing the same but they were in small markets and towns..but Indianapolis? Got to be a typo on the part of TV News.

WAND 17-ABC/NBC Decatur

Unless channel 17 cherry-picked some NBC shows that may have been passed up by WICS/WICD, WAND was solely an ABC affiliate in 1971 (the big switch in Springfield/Decatur/Champaign would not occur until Labor Day 2005, when WAND and WICS/WICD swapped networks, with WAND getting NBC and WICS/D moving to ABC).
