Hootenanny would have been at least a week old--probably two, and a kinnie,
guessing VTRs were few and far between in Casper. Silvers--see notes for
KLZ-TV, as by mid-season it was on at 9:30 ET/7:30 MT.


KOA/Denver channel 4 ( NBC )
5:00 NBC News-Sander Vanocur

Note Science (what was this?) also aired on sister KOAA-TV at 5:30.
Lieutenant delayed from 5:30.

Network and some other shows fed from KOA-TV Denver.


KFBC/Cheyenne channel 5 and KSTF/Scottsbluff, Nebraska channel 10 ( CBS, ABC, NBC )
5:30 Jackie Gleason
6:30 Lawrence Welk

Curious as to how they got Silvers--did they have microwave feeds from Denver
or just off-air pickups? See also notes on KLZ-TV.

Combat delayed (4 or 11 days?) from Tuesday 7:30 ET. Probably on film.

In summer 1966 I recall Get Smart (8:30 ET/6:30 MT) airing on 16mm film at
8:30 on KFBC-TV.


KLZ/Denver channel 7 ( CBS )
5:30 Jackie Gleason
6:30 Phil Silvers
7:00 Great Adventure
8:00 Gunsmoke
9:00 Defenders
10:00 Seven News

Adventure is a delay from Friday 7:30 ET. Defenders (here delayed to 9)
aired 8:30 ET/6:30 MT and Silvers at 9:30 ET/7:30 MT. So 6:30 and 7 is either
a TVG error and should be reversed, or else Silvers is on a one-week tape delay
or a one- or two-week delay on film.

The "Science Series" that aired on KOA/KOAA Saturday at 5:30 was actually an NBC show sponsored by the Bell Telephone System and was produced by Walt Disney.

Not sure how KFBC got Silvers, maybe they did have a hook-up or got them OTA from Denver since I would imagine the Denver stations could be picked up in Cheyenne but I am not sure if its the other way around though in the past I have been able to receive Cheyenne RADIO stations in Denver but then again its that way with Colorado Springs radio as well...possible to get them in Denver but not Colorado Springs TV. Even in the southern suberbs like Littleton. I had tried doing that in the past. I wasn't even able to get as much as a flicker from either KKTV or KRDO. However on the flip side I have been told that the Denver stations DO reach Colorado Springs OTA. Hmmmmmmmm

Interesting thing I saw in this edition of TV Guide. A rather big ad from Denver's KCTO ( now KWGN ) making a claim that they had more viewers in Denver than anyone else. Not sure just how accurate this is bit if this is true, I wonder if this means that Denver was the first market in the US where an independent station was number one overall in the ratings beating the networks. Somehow I question that since I have to admit I had never heard of any place at anytime where an independent station had outranked the network affilates. Some shows and dayparts..sure that has happened but overall?
 
Cheyenne sort of sits in a bowl. Denver stations could not be received in Cheyenne without a very tall mast. Those who lived on the ridges forming the bowl could get the Denver stations. In 1964, that would have been very few people.

The Denver stations were not receivable in most of COS. Here, again, those who lived up high in the northern part of COS could, but not most of the area.
