Pretty boring schedule for 1966, if you ask me. Huntley-Brinkley, though the #1 newscast at the time, was the ONLY NBC program aired on Channel 2! By the way...arrangements were made with KING-TV in Seattle to tape the program and immediately fly it up to Anchorage first and then Fairbanks for the 11:00pm airing.
As for Walter Cronkite? I'm certain he was on a one-day delay.
Also, even though most primetime shows were already in color, both stations were still broadcasting in black-and-white until 1967. Channel 2 was the first in Fairbanks to go to color, while Channel 11 had to wait till after the flood (when they were knocked off the air) to follow suit. Local color programming would come in the early 1970's.
