Looks like WKBD 50 was an independent sports channel. I don't think I've ever seen an
independent that was 100% sports. What are they today if still around?

WKBD was just wall-to-wall sports on the weekends...weekday programming was more of what you'd expect from an indie. WKBD is still around today and has been the Detroit CW affiliate since 2006 (it was also Fox 1996-1994, joining UPN in early 1995 after a month as an indie when WJBK picked up Fox as part of the New World deal)
 
From what I saw on Google News Archives in a September, 1966 Toledo Blade, WTOL-TV carried I Dream of Jeannie from NBC in it's first color season after Gilligan's Island and before The Lucy Show, both from CBS. Did WTOL-TV air Jeannie in it's first season or did viewers in the Toledo market in areas bordering Michigan have to rely on WWJ-TV Detroit or WILX-TV Lansing for Jeannie?. I know WDHO-TV (now WNWO-TV) had Jeannie plus other rejects from 11 and 13 in 1967-68 but Jeannie blinked over to WSPD-TV (now ABC O&O WTVG) in the fourth season when it was on before Laugh-In.

Based on a quick check of the listings, Toledo viewers would have to rely on Detroit or Lansing for Jeannie...11 and 13 both ran secondary NBC at the time.

How easy was it at the time to pull in NBC O&O WKYC from Cleveland in Toledo? Don't know why not -- I was able to watch that channel with some regularity from Clinton, Michigan (southwest of Ann Arbor) back in the 1990s, while on vacation visiting my sister.

Actually if memory serves, WSPD TV-13 was Primary NBC at least I always remember it as such during my childhood.
 
In Toledo, it would be easier to get channel 4 from Detroit, but I do remember trying to watch Get Smart on channel 3 in Cleveland when they showed reruns on Sunday Mornings ('70s? '80s?). It was very snowy if I could get it at all. I remember in the '60s channel 13 usually showed ABC shows and some NBC shows including the Today Show. Channel 11 was mostly CBS and some NBC. Many times NBC shows had to be watched on 4 (Detroit). In 1966 when channel 24 went on the air, they would usually get the leftovers that 11 and 13 did not show. Even then some shows were delayed to Weekend afternoons (Smothers Brothers at 5PM Saturday, because 11 showed Bonanza (NBC) at 9PM Sunday after Ed Sullivan (CBS). In the early '70s the three stations finally became affiliated with only one network: 11 with CBS, 13 with NBC and 24 with ABC. That lasted until ABC bought channel 13 which then became the ABC station and 24 became the NBC station and by that time channel 36 was here as the Fox station. I think 13 showed ABC, CBS, NBC and Dumont shows when they were the only station in town (until '58).
 
I recall reading that WDHO-24 was technically an independent, as Toledo Eleven said, taking leftovers from the Networks 11 and 13 didnt want, officially taking ABC full time in 1970.

One odd thing-Channel 13 from approximately 1962-65, didnt sign on till about 7:20AM, starting The Today Show at 7:30 and running it only 90 minutes..
