EST. (SC did not observe daylight-saving time until 1967.)

The network feeds were the EST/CST feeds which were delayed an hour, so that programs
would air at the same clock time year-round.
 
The game show LET'S PLAY POST OFFICE. I guess that was some kind of dating
show and not a zip code, mail sorting, stamp licking thing.
 
South Carolina did indeed go on DST in '67; it was on
DST when I moved there in June 1968.

As for "Let's Play Post Office," the object of the game
was to identify a celebrity from clues contained in a
fictitious letter written by that celebrity. Each letter
was worth a certain amount of money ($5-$100); "Postmaster
of Ceremonies" Don Morrow would begin reading the letter
and contestants could buzz in with a guess at any time.
Each successive line in the letter dropped its value by five
dollars, so the faster a contestant could come up with the
right celebrity, the more money he or she added. The final
round of the day was called the "Zip Round"; Morrow would
read one-line clues; a contestant who buzzed in with the
correct identity added $25; an incorrect guess deducted $25.
The top money winner returned to play again the next day.
If something about all this sounds vaguely familiar, Merv Griffin
produced this show, which aired right after "Jeopardy!". BTW,
this was "Post Office"'s last week; it was replaced the following
Monday by the Dick Clark-produced music show "Swingin' Country,"
with Roy Clark, Molly Bee, and Rusty Draper.

And with those states still on Eastern Standard Time on a clock-time
schedule, how was WCIV able to carry Johnny Carson at 11 PM?

I'm curious as to how they could air him only for a half-hour while going to Dateline at 11:30. Unless that was a typo. But wasn't there also a one-day delay or something?
 
I'd be willing to bet it's a typo and that Channel 4's
local news aired at 11, followed by Carson at 11:30.
I don't know of any market where, at the time, he
aired on a one-day delay; there were a few, a few
years later, that aired Merv's late-night CBS show the
following afternoon (and in at least one market, Louisville,
Merv was on the ABC affiliate in late afternoon).
