I know Westinghouse and NBC were in the midst of a blood feud that led to the FCC forcing a reversal in 1965 of the swap between the Cleveland and Philadelphia NBC affils in 1956, but I had no suspicion that it went as far as KYW pre-empting two of NBC's signature programs. Cleveland HAD to be the largest market where this occurred, and one cannot resist the temptation to believe that practices like this were a protest against the Peacock Network's strong-arm tactics back in the '50s.

That may have been part of it, but by July 1960, Huntley-Brinkley was back on KYW..Tonight (Johnny Carson) wouldnt arrive at WKYC till November 1, 1965. KYW and WEWS both did quite a bit of preempting Network shows..
