I guess you could say October 17, 1966 is a red-letter day,
since "Squares" became a virtual institution during its 15-year
original run. Paul Lynde, BTW, did not become the permanent
center square until 1968.

Also, I notice ABC News running for 25 minutes (6:30-6:55)
on WAKR. How could this be; ABC had a 15-minute newscast,
not expanding to 30 minutes until January 1967?

The way the Plain Dealer TV Page was set up, Channels 3, 5, and 8 were together in a "Grid" format while 25 and 49 were listed separately elsewhere on the page..49 didnt have anything scheduled at 6:45...Probably a mistake on 49's part..
