BOTH stations could not have possibly had Munsters and Leave It To Beaver. Must have been a typo. Hey I made similar mistakes over the years as well....MY GUESS --- From some of the old listings I have seen WFLD NEVER had Leave It To Beaver. That I know was originally on Channel 2 there till the early 70's when it fell off that station. CBS bought that show for all their stations but by 1976 it fell off their schedules and CBS did not need to renew it being they had better programming committments. IN NYC Beaver would not return till 1986 on 5 WNEW TV (now WNYW) and in Philadelphia it went to 48 WKBS TV in 1982 and when they went dark to 17 WPHL and eventually to the 90's Channel 48 WGTW.

In Chicago it did indeed move to WSNS 44 according to other sources. They had it till they went mostly SUbscription TV in the course of 1981. Beaver did not test well until Turner's WTBS went national (which ahd the show back then all along). At that point the demand for Beaver grew and at that point WGN TV 9 picked it up and ran it into the 90's.

Munsters I believe was on WFLD back then and remained there till the late 80's....That is my guess on that from 80's lietsings I have. Both shows are MCA shows though and often were on same stations in some markets.
 
Superfriends on WSNS looks like another typo; This was an ABC show at the time, and was not made available for syndication until the early 80s. Additionally, it did not air in a half-hour format in its early seasons.

Might be the 1960's Justice League Cartoon (which was part of the 1960's Animated Superman series (with Bud Collyer)). Since Superfriends was based on the Justice League, this could be the likely possibility.

Munsters and the Beav ran on 44...32 ran the Stooges 4-5, with the Monkees at 5. The 3pm show on 44 should read Superheroes (I'm guessing Marvel Super Heroes ran there, IIRC it originally aired in the early 70s?).

The Marvel Super Heroes originally aired in the mid-sixties -- 1966, I believe.
 
Actually Superfriends was not syndicated till 1981 and ran on ABC from 1976 to 1981 I believe. Superfriends had Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Wonder Twins, and a few others all working together. The "Superfriends" listed here are animated short made for TV cartoon subjects with Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman individually in their own adventures. It was actually called Superheroes and not part of Marvel Comics which had Spiderman, Incredible Hulk, Captain America, among others. So it was Super Heroes run on TV 44
 
So, those DC superhero cartoons had been made by Filmation, and aired as part of various shows, mostly on CBS, circa 1966-70.

That right. Season 1 was Superman/Superboy. Season 2 was Superman/Aquaman, and Season 3 was Superman/Batman. It should also be noted that this series was the last series done by Bud Collyer before his death in 1969.
