Cunningham's News Ace started in the '30s on
WXYZ radio; two of them were Mike Wallace and
Douglas Edwards. Cunningham's was a local
drugstore in Detroit.

I notice you have I Love Lucy listed twice on
Ch. 2. Wouldn't Lux Video Theater have been
on at 8, since Lucy came on at 9?

I also saw a listing for a program with Betty Clooney.
She was one of George Clooney's aunts; in fact, I
think she was the oldest. In order of birth, I believe
they were: Betty, Rosemary, Nick (George's dad),
and Gail. Gail never had much of a career; Nick is
best remembered as host of "The Money Maze" and
for his work on AMC. He's also a columnist and radio
personality in Cincinnati, and lost a race for Congress
a couple of years back (he's a Democrat, and his home
district in northern Kentucky is heavily Republican).

BPatrick:
I misread the Listing for I Love Lucy on Channel 2 at first. I thought I had corrected it.

Here is the correct WJBK-2 Prime Time Schedule

8PM Lux Video Theatre
8:30 Talent Scouts
9PM I Love Lucy-Little Ricky is born
9:30 Red Buttons
10PM Studio One

I suspected Betty Clooney was related to Rosemary, etc.

Thanks for catching the error..
