In some previous threads of COS/DEN listings we've established that the
COS stations were fed via microwave links from the DEN stations and that
delayed broadcasts (tape or film) mostly originated in DEN, but with a few
done locally.

10:15 Jack Parr

Only the first hour re-feed of Today (9 ET/7 MT) aired; NBC daytime was
all live feed, with the local hole 11-12 MT.

No Huntley-Brinkley, or was 5-5:30 half and half?

6:30-9 MT was NBC live 8:30-11 ET. Did Wagon Train (7:30 ET/5:30 MT) air
on another night?

Did Jack Paar air only 10:15-11 MT (last 45 min. JIP) or 10:15-12 MT (delay
via KOA-TV) and was it same night one-hour delay or night behind?

10:00 Local News
10:15 Furr's Weather
10:20 KKTV Late Show

No early-morning CBS offerings aired (late sign-on).

Daytime: 10-11 ET/8-9 MT not aired, otherwise all live net, with local hole
11-11:30 MT.

Again, was 5-5:30 news slot split between Doug Edwards and local, or
indeed all local? Assume local news was anchored by COS TV legend
Hal Kennedy?

Masquerade Party at 6 was a delay from Monday 7:30 ET/5:30 MT.

6:30-8 prime was live net 8:30-10 ET.

Betty Hutton at 8 was a delay from Thursday 8 ET/6 MT.

Lineup at 8:30 was delay from 7:30 ET/5:30 MT, but was it on tape
(same night or week late) or 16mm film (week or more delay)?

bpatrick or others: the ABC daytime sked appears to be ET minus one hour,
not two. Do you recall if this is when ABC fed daytime to CT delayed an
hour (same clock time as ET)? If so, then this could be the CT feed also
sent to MT.

Africa Patrol was syndicated. KRDO-TV did not air Court Of Last Resort
(7:30 ET/5:30 MT), at least not on Wednesday.

Weaver and Ozzie 7-8 were the 8-9 ET/6-7 MT ABC shows. (On film?)

Fights (10 ET) and Hawaiian Eye (9 ET) were flipped from "pattern" in order
to air boxing live at 8 MT.

Some ABC affiliates in the Central Time Zone, such
as KTRK Houston, did in fact carry the Eastern version
of daytime; I've posted 1962 schedules from the Southeast
Texas edition of TV Guide that show Lufkin, Beaumont, and
Houston (Chs. 9, 12, 13) carrying ABC daytime 11 AM-5 PM
(with a break from 1-2) rather than 10 AM-4 PM (with a break
from 12-1). So it's not out of the question that Colorado Springs
went along with this feed, one hour behind the CT stations.

Only the first hour re-feed of Today (9 ET/7 MT) aired; NBC daytime was
all live feed, with the local hole 11-12 MT.

Did they just air one hour of Today, or did the newspaper grids start at 7 AM? Could be they aired the second hour of today at 6 AM from the Central feed, but it doesn't show on the grid.

No Huntley-Brinkley, or was 5-5:30 half and half?

My guess it was "half and half". One thing I have learned about old newspaper TV listings was how some of them would call "Huntley-Brinkley" or "NBC News" they just called it "NEWS" and nothing more. I saw some old New Mexico listings that did just that but when it came to CBS they called it "Walter Cronkite". Maybe the newspaper liked Walter better than Chet & David.

Interesting thing about these listings, in the same paper I saw two ads for local TV shops offering a service to local viewers called "Signal Tracers", where for a price they promised that one can pick up Denver and Albuquerque TV as well as Colorado Springs. Denver maybe but Albuquerque? Considering that city and Colorado Springs both have their own channel 13..I just don't see how that would have been possible.

Back in the early 80's we had a TV shop in my hometown in Virginia that more/less offered the same thing. One of their ads featured a pic of the Pittsburgh Steelers Jack Lambert standing right beside announcer Myron Cope with "..How would YOU like to see KDKA and WTAE in VIRGINIA..we can help you out !!". A few months later this very same business was busted on fraud.
