Wrestling from Chicago was the only DuMont show
WBTV in Charlotte would telecast, despite the fact
that it had a secondary affiliation (CBS being its
primary network). If you believe Jeff Kisseloff's
"The Box," DuMont's people had a time with that
station.

I'm surprised (although I don't know why, since I
saw the same thing in Raleigh and Birmingham in
the late '60s) that WEWS and WXEL (WJW) divided
up ABC and CBS. Even at that early date, there were
enough stations for each to have an exclusive affiliation
(although someone would have had a DuMont secondary).
