I presume that the Dick Hageman who hosted a show at 2:30 P.M. on WLWT in Cincinnati at this point is one and the same who later went to CBS in New York (and, as of the late 1950's, was one of the 20 or so off-camera "hosts" who appeared on a rotational or "pool" basis on WCBS-TV's The Late Show).
 
"Captain Glenn" was likely Glenn Rowell, who partnered with Gene Carroll on a number of radio shows in the 1930's and 40's..A few months after this, Rowell moved up to WNBK-4 in Cleveland, doing "Captain Glenn's Showboat" and the Weather Forecast..Later he had an 11:15 PM show called "Custom Inn" He stayed at WNBK maybe a year or two..Gene Carroll, meanwhile had already aired his show for several years on WEWS-TV 5..

Re:The Channel Numbers..By January 1955 all except 6 and 10 would have different channel numbers..

3 WLWC became 4
4 WLW became 5
5 WLWD became 2
7 WCPO became 9
13 WHIO became 7

12 WKRC had been Channel 11-Changed to 12 sometime in 1952..

Seems that in the Early Crosley days Channels 3-4-5 were a lot more intertwined then they became later on..They shared the same program titles even beyond 50-50 Club and Captain Glenn, etc..
