Despite being the "Colorado" edition of TV Guide, no station from Grand Junction was listed however two Wyoming stations were...KTWO ( Casper ) and KFBC ( Cheyenne ). I will post their schedules at a later date.

**since KRMA's schedule was so tiny back then, thought I would add something to their line-up LOL .

 

[bpatrick]

The 2:45 newscast is more than likely KKTV's.
Lee Phillip aired from 4:30-4:45 (ET)/2:30-2:45
(MT) on CBS, after which the network went dark
until Cronkite at 6:30 (ET).

KOA/Denver channel 4 (NBC)
6:30 Monday Night at the Movies ( 1957 adventure "Action of the Tiger")
8:30 Hollywood and the Stars
9:00 Sing Along with Mitch

Can anyone confirm that this is the NBC movie, as opposed to it being local?
Further, if it is NBC, did the listed title indeed air on 01/27/64, or could it be
a one-week delay?

All of prime is in pattern which would be a one-hour delay, if same-night tape,
and one wonders if any of the Denver stations had enough VTR equipment to
pull that off. NBC didn't help of course, by scheduling a movie at 7:30pm ET--
sort of a "screw the Mountain Time Zone, just like we do every Wednesday
with the 90-minute western at 7:30."

Not sure if NBC bicycled "third-play" (their moniker) 16mm films of their movies;
H'wood could be shipped on film; but Mitch was a tape show.

KLZ/Denver channel 7 ( CBS )
5:30 CBS News-Cronkite
6:00 I've Got A Secret
6:30 The Lucy Show
7:00 Danny Thomas
7:30 Andy Griffith
8:00 East Side/West Side
9:00 Alfred Hitchcock

When did KLZ run To Tell The Truth (7:30 ET)? Hitchcock is a delay
from Friday 10 ET.

KBTV/Denver channel 9 ( ABC )
6:30 Outer Limits
7:30 Wagon Train
9:00 Breaking Point

Prime time is all in pattern, so again a one-hour delay if same-night tape,
so the same Q about "how many VTRs?" applies. Perhaps it was all on
16mm film, as KTVK did with ABC prime most nights back then for Phoenix
(and fed to Tucson).

KOAA/Pueblo channel 5 (NBC)
KKTV/Colorado Springs channel 11 ( CBS )
KRDO/Colorado Springs channel 13 ( ABC )

The COS stations seem to be at least semi-satellites of DEN, running most,
if not all, network at the same time and even simulcasting some syndie shows.
The Telco maps in the 1963 Radio Annual on the Old Gringo's website indicate
the net feeds to COS/PUB were either microwave links or off-air pickups
from DEN.

I thought Lee Phillip was only local in Chicago.

 

[LynnW]

All three stations had microwave links to Denver. The KCSJ (KOAA) link was from the KOA transmitter on Lookout Mountain to Castle Rock then through a saddle in Monument Hill to the KRDO transmitter on Cheyenne Mountain and on to the KCSJ studios on Big Hill in Pueblo.

In 1961, Metropolitan Broadcasting acquired KCSJ and changed the calls to KOAA to match their station in Denver. KOA and KOAA were individually managed and programmed. I'm surprised to see the same afternoon movie listed. As I remember that didn't happer very often. Metropolitan only owned KOAA for about 9 years, but that was kind of a golden era for the station because Metropolitan spent a lot of money upgrading the station. KOAA got video tape 1962 and was the first in the market to broadcast locally produced programs in living color.

KKTV and KRDO were locally owned and remained locally owned into the 90's.

I was a kid at the time, but my inpression was that KOAA, KKTV and KRDO all somewhat resented being dependent on the Denver stations.

 

[mleach]

When did KLZ run To Tell The Truth (7:30 ET)? Hitchcock is a delay
from Friday 10 ET.

KLZ didn't air Hitchcock on Fridays due to the Denver based King Soopers Supermarket Chain. Tuesday I was at an antique store in Aurora, Colorado and found this TV Guide for sale for only $5. While there I also did find an old ad for King Soopers ( now part of Kroger BTW ) from shortly before these listings that said to join the King Soopers for 'Movie Nights..Monday nights at 10:30 on KBTV TV 9 and Friday nights at 8 on KLZ-TV 7". As a result I assume KLZ simply moved Hitchcock to Monday nights to make way for King Soopers. According to TV Guide the KLZ/King Soopers movie for Friday 1/31/64 was the 1960 adventure "Last of the Vikings".

I went through the entire TV Guide and didn't see "To Tell The truth" in any of KLZ's nighttime listings though it did air on KKTV at 9:30 Friday night on 1/31/64.

 

[bpatrick]

I thought Lee Phillip was only local in Chicago.

She was on for years at noon on WBBM, but in the fall of 1963
CBS offered her show to the full network 4:30-4:45 (ET). The
clearance rate was apparently abysmally low; in my part of the
country only WTVR Richmond carried her. I think at the time
many CBS affiliates were taking 4:30 for themselves to compensate
for the loss of time when Cronkite expanded from 15 minutes to
30 in September of that year.

CBS made one last attempt to program 4:30 in the 1964-65 season,
rerunning Jack Benny's CBS shows under the title "The Jack Benny
Daytime Show." That didn't work either, and in 1965 the time was
returned to the affiliates for good; in fact, ABC was the last network
to give back 4:30 when "Where The Action Is" was canceled in 1967.

Tuesday I was at an antique store in Aurora, Colorado and found this TV Guide for sale for only $5.

mleach: you realize now that we're all (well at least bpatrick and me) going to
want you to post listings from every other weekday evening (say 5pm-signoff)
in ths issue, plus all of Saturday and Sunday!

Thanks I didn't know that.
