I certainly remember this Saturday listing.

You'll note that the Reds at Phillies game was shown on Channels: 2, 5, and 4 who were the Crosley stations in Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus, respectively. The Reds pounded Philadelphia, 10-2 that afternoon.

9:00 Dancing Party

I'm guessing that's "The Lawrence Welk Show" (still officially known as "The Dodge Dancing Party").


Also, wasn't "Gunsmoke" on Saturday nights at that time?

 

[gr8oldies]

Urban and Suburban and Good Ship Zion on WHIO lasted well into the 70s, as did the Reds pregame show, Dugout Dope.

 

[Cincinnati Kid]

The "Midwestern Hayride" show that aired on WCPO-TV at 10:00 - 10:30 on Saturday night on WCPO-TV, Channel 9, was a summer replacement program on the ABC-TV Network. I understand it was on in the summers of 1958 and 1959.

9:00 Dancing Party

I'm guessing that's "The Lawrence Welk Show" (still officially known as "The Dodge Dancing Party").


Also, wasn't "Gunsmoke" on Saturday nights at that time?

It is "The Lawrence Welk Show"; at the time TV Guide listed it as DANCING PARTY--Welk

The Miss America Pageant was on CBS, pre-empting "Gunsmoke" that night.

With regards to the Miss America contest coverage. Unlike some news events which were live across the country, this was only shown live to the eastern cities who were on Daylight Savings Time and delayed video tape to the midwestern section of the country one hour later. As a result, viewers who got the delayed coverage could tune to their 11 P.M. news to find out who had won even though the coverage was still taking place in their area. In this specific case, it was Mary Ann Mobley. Although selected in September, Miss America used the following calendar year as the year of their rein.

Interesting to note that in these listings, WKRC-TV, Channel 12, the CBS affiliate in Cincinnati is not listed as carrying the Miss America contest.

With regards to the Miss America contest coverage. Unlike some news events which were live across the country, this was only shown live
to the eastern cities who were on Daylight Savings Time and delayed video tape to the midwestern section of the country one hour later.

Also aired live in CDT markets (e.g.: Chicago, St. Louis). Summer 1958 was the first
DST season in which the nets provided the one-hour delayed feed to EST/CST areas.
