Not sure of the exact date, but by the end of November 1959, WKST had moved down the dial to Channel 33. They became WYTV sometime in 1963-64..

8 Movie-The Horn Blows At Midnight-1945

Starring none other than Jack Benny! He made his, shall we say, unspectacular movie resume one of his running gags for years. I haven't seen it for years, and I don't think I ever saw it all the way through, but I do remember he played a big band trumpet player who was appointed to replace the angel Gabriel and blow the horn that signified the end of the world. The other movie he got a lot of mileage from was "Buck Benny Rides Again".
 
My personal favorite is "George Washington Slept Here,"
a movie overshadowed by Cary Grant's "Mr. Blandings
Builds His Dream House." Benny's wife, played by Ann
Sheridan, talks him into buying a rundown house believed
to have been a place where George Washington slept while
in transit. The costs of fixing up the place provoke vintage
Benny reactions. Watch for Percy Kilbride, of the Ma and Pa
Kettle movies, as the handyman (sexist?) who keeps telling
him he's going to need more of different things, and how much
it's going to cost.
