61 Hodgepodge Lodge

That should have been Ch. 54, Erie's PBS station, carrying Hodgepodge Lodge because that was a PBS kids show back in 1974. Ch. 61(WKBF) had a movie air from 5 to 7 pm that night, and I don't see why they would stop the movie to air a children's show.

Probably from The T.A.M.I. Show! Not a Dick Clark production.

23 Akron Civic Forum

Still produced to this day as "Forum 360", previously "Civic Forum of the Air", on Time Warner Cable's NEON local programming channel (oddly enough, position 23), and over-air via WAKR-TV/now-WVPX's former partner, Rubber City Radio's WAKR/1590.

Though by 1974, the US networks discarded special introductions of color shows, as all programs (other than some old movies) were already in color. Only NBC still used the Peacock, but only before "The Hollywood Squares" and Johnny Carson.
 
The 10 AM Church Services were:
17 Canton Baptist Temple
23 Akron Baptist Temple

7PM Church service was Canton Baptist Temple on WJAN-TV 17..Later moved to WOAC-67..Currently a half-hour broadcast is shown 10:30 AM Sundays on WVPX-23

I do believe 1974 was "The FBI's" last season. That was a pretty easy to remember opening..."The FBI...in Color!".

The Leslie Nielsen comedy "Police Squad" even parodied it.
