22 – WKEF (NBC/ABC/CBS) Dayton

Note – I have no idea why each of the three Dayton stations is affiliated with all three networks. If anyone has an answer please post it. I’d love to know why.

I believe the first network listed was their primary affiliate, and they cleared shows that the other stations didn't carry.

Also, wasn't WKTR an ABC affiliate at one point in the late-1960s, before closing down? And if so, did the other three stations maintain affiliation of some sort with ABC? (It would reopen as pubcaster WOET in 1972, now WPTD.)
 
Charlotte was the same way until the fall of 1967.
WBTV was primary CBS; WSOC, NBC; WCCB, ABC,
but each took shows from the other networks. As
I understand it, NBC got fed up with WSOC's pre-emptions
of network shows, and in the fall of '67 WBTV became fulltime
CBS; WSOC, NBC; WCCB, ABC. That lasted until July 1978,
when WSOC switched to ABC; WCCB went independent (then Fox
in 1986), and Ted Turner's WRET (now Belo's WCNC) became the
NBC affiliate.
 
Was the Southern Ohio edition still doing different colored bullets for each market at the time? In the late-50s listings from the edition I've posted, the edition used black bullets for Cincy, white for Columbus, and grey striped for Dayton...
 
I thought that the old WLWD-2 was NBC primary, WHIO-7 CBS primary, and some ABC shows were split between the two.

There may have been a few CBS shows on WLWD and a few NBC shows on WHIO to add to the confusion.

Yep, and as we noted many times across these threads, there were similar situations in other markets like Birmingham, Toledo, and Raleigh-Durham, where the UHF start-up got the leftover network programs from the established stations until the late '60/early '70s where the stations were forced to affiliate with a single network.
