I saw so many NFL games and was going to ask why the Browns weren't on, until I realized this was a Thanksgiving Day schedule :) I had no idea both the NFL and AFL had two T-Day games back then.

17 had news at 6 and 11? 15 minutes, it would appear. Plus the 7 PM with Carl Day that you note...
 
Actually, had the listings for Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 24, 1966 been shown, you would have seen the Browns. On that date, they played Dallas in the Cotton Bowl in the first game of what has become the Cowboys traditional Thanksgiving game. It was shown on the CBS Television Network using announcers Frank Glieber (the Browns' TV announcer) and Jack Buck (who was the Cowboys' TV announcer). Dallas won 26-14.
 
The hero of that 1966 Dallas-Cleveland game, IIRC, was Danny Villanueva,
who kicked four field goals. He later got into television as g.m. of KMEX
Los Angeles.

I recently posted a Kentucky schedule that showed "Mr. Magoo In The King's
Service" on WCPO. They were three episodes (either edited or shown in their
entirety) of "The Famous Adventures Of Mr. Magoo".

Glieber was also WJW-TV 8 weeknight sports anchor at this point, having replaced Boston-bound Ken Coleman as Browns Play By Blay man in 1966..Glieber eventually moved to Dallas in 1968 to work on Cowboys Broadcasts over KRLD Radio
 
Glieber also did sports on KXAS. He died fairly young
of a heart attack suffered while walking on a treadmill,
IIRC. One current sportscaster (and his competitor at
WFAA in the late '70s/early '80s), Verne Lundquist, cites
Glieber as his inspiration to become a sportscaster.
