Retro:Cleveland/Youngstown, Ohio Daytime (7AM-8PM) Friday May 22, Mon.-Thurs. May 25-28, 1953
In honor of the Late Lamented Original TV Guide Format I thought I would post the first week's Listings for the Lake Erie Edition TV Guide which had but 5 stations:
Cleveland
4 WNBK NBC
5 WEWS CBS
9 WXEL DuMont/ABC
Youngstown
27 WKBN CBS/DuMont/ABC
73 WFMJ NBC
While the first National TV Guide was produced April 3-9, 1953 It was apparently rolled out a few cities at a time as Cleveland/Lake Erie Edition did not start till 8 weeks after the first national edition. In at least the first year or so they went with Friday-Thursday...July 17, 1954 appears to be the first issue to go with Saturday-Friday listings (Source
ates on the TV Guide cover Gallery along with a perpetual calendar to confirm)TV Guide changed again to Sunday-Saturday listings March 6, 2005.
