"Play Your Hunch" moved from CBS to ABC this day;
it didn't move to NBC until 1960, replacing the original
"Treasure Hunt," which Jan Murray asked NBC to cancel
because of allegations that staff members were taking
bribes to allow certain people on the show.

As for WEWS carrying Bob Cummings, who was on NBC
at the time, it's rare that any affiliate picks up another
network's show when each network has a full-time affiliate,
but it has happened; I have mentioned that the CBS affiliate
in Norfolk carried Joey Bishop's late-night show when the
ABC one turned it down; likewise, the CBS affiliate in Spartanburg,
SC, carried "Treasure Isle" when the Asheville, NC, ABC affiliate
turned it down. And for a time in the '60s, Walter Cronkite aired
in Atlanta not on WAGA, but on WAII (WXIA), the ABC affiliate.
 
bpatrick:
Thanks for the insight on "Play Your Hunch"..From seeing it on GSN, I always thought it had been an NBC show prior to being on ABC. Playing another network's primetime by show seemed to be more rare in Cleveland than elsewhere once the longtime affiliations became established by 1955.
