Notes:TV Guide would have Ads for "Popeye" Debuting August 2, 1957 on KYW-3 ..Channel 3 would carry various Popeye Cartoons into the mid 1970's

One O Clock Club would Debut on WEWS-TV 5 Monday, August 26, 1957..First for an hour, then eventually 90 minutes. The show was a big hit until Mike Douglas came along on channel 3 in December 1961. One O Clock Club lasted until 1964.
 
bpatrick:
I had one of my blog readers ask about John B. Hughes awhile back, I think he was with Mutual Radio for a time in the 1940's..Not a lot about him anywhere on the Net. He did leave Cleveland in the mid 1960's to return to New York City where he was from..

Small correction:popeye Cartoons began on KYW-TV 3 September 2, 1957, not August..Barnaby (Linn Sheldon) may not have started there as yet but he was definitely at Channel 3 before the end of '57..
