No programs listed (off-air for summer?)
 
I have an April 1958 TV Guide for Cincinnati/Dayton. Interesting that some stations are still listed as "DuMont", though the Network stopped broadcasting in 1956..
 
I remember some of this stuff .... the unusally titled game show "Haggis Baggis." Just what did it mean aside from the catchy rhyme?

I have seen videoclips of the original "Price Is RIght" with Bill Cullen

The 9AM movie on WLW-D was entitled "A.M. Theater" hosted by announcer (and later Dayton's fitness guru) Andy Marten who later founded the Marten-Cline (later New Life) health spa chain.

I remember "Tic Tac Dough" and "It Could Be You" being kinescoped broadcasts after "50 50 Club" went off for the day on 2 4 and 5. Was NOT a fan of kinescoped programs as a kid due to its dark and muddy picture quality.

I also have fond memories of Uncle Al Lewis (God rest his soul) on those days when I can pull in Channel 9's signal north of Dayton. Until recently I was not aware that WKRC also had the CBS affiliation as did WCPO with ABC back then. I always remembered ABC on 12 and CBS on 9 in the 60s.

WHIO-TV had that indian head test pattern on while WLWD had the Today Show with Dave Garroway on. After Captain Kangaroo and the "morning news" read off camera by Ted Ryan, "Cartoon Time" would air at 9:30 with vintage black and white cartoons from the 1930s...mostly a character called either Scrappy or Scramble...others were first generation Merrie Melodies/Looney Tunes with Bosko,Buddy and the early incarnation of Porky Pig. Always remembered Ignatz Hammeslob(I think) hosting the local live segments of The Little Rascals.

Was that Ken Hardin that played Ignatz? Remember him in later years as Ferdy Fussbudget,sidekick of Uncle Orrie (Joe Rockhold).
