Kinda surprised the Harrisonburg-Staunton's WVPT isn't listed here since according to WVPT they had went on the air in 1968.

WSVA's news being in color could be a misprint since according to WHSV when they celebrited their 50th several years ago, they had went color in 1971. However....memories fade and as I can recall WHSV had one hell of time finding people who were with that station back in its WSVA days to be a part of that special broadcast so they had to go by using old photos for the histry of WSVA-TV/WHSV. I think the only one they had managed to get from "back in the day" was Suzanne LaValle and she was with WHSV doing the weather in the late 70's.
 
I think WVPT was listed in the Central Virginia Edition;
TV Guide had a rule that a station had to reach at least
15% of an edition's circulation area before being included,
so it was a few years later that WVPT was added to Eastern
Virginia. BTW, during the time I lived in Virginia Beach (1966-68),
WYAH wasn't listed either.
 
"Sesame Street" was pre-empted that entire week,
and returned on Monday, November 9. "Playschool"
was an Australian kids' show that had been on there
since 1960, and PBS was obviously giving it some exposure
in the U.S.
