I may make a guess that "Astronaut/Odie" (7:30 AM, ch. 9) was The Astronut Show, a Terrytoons program which was a spinoff of Deputy Dawg, and The King & Odie which was syndicated repeats of King Leonardo & His Short Subjects.

That's my thought too.

Here's some info on the Odie show:

Yes it's a cartoon. I actually remember watching this.
We lived up on a hill in Pittsburgh where we could get WSTV's signal.

I was a preschooler. If I was awake early my dad would put this on for me to
keep me entertained while he got ready for work.

I was a pre-schooler when it aired as King Leonardo & His Short Subjects in 1960 Saturday mornings on NBC (the only other cartoon show on Saturday mornings back then was Mighty Mouse on CBS). I watched it as The King & Odie when it aired mornings just before school started in our area (metro San Diego at the time).
