I've seen a picture from that "Stump The Stars" show
in Jefferson Graham's book about game shows, "Come
On Down!"

WEWS wasn't the only non-CBS affiliate to carry "Stump
The Stars." WSB, then an NBC affiliate, carried it at the
network-scheduled time of 10:30 Monday (it's one of two
CBS programs I know of that Ch. 2 has carried, the other
being "Do You Trust Your Wife?" in 1956). WRAL Raleigh,
which had just become an ABC affiliate in 1962, aired the
show on delay (I don't remember if it was four or eleven days)
Fridays at 10:30; at the time ABC was down at that time and
WTVD had passed on the show, as had every CBS affiliate in
North Carolina except WFMY.
 
I tried to get rid of the double posting of the schedule once it happened but apparently it didnt take..sorry about that..
