Interesting. I presume even the Fort Wayne times were in Central Time, which is what South Bend had even though Ft. Wayne was on Eastern time.

Thanks for researching and sharing.
 
I was working for WANE at this time (in engineering.)
But I was also a backup operator and probably running tape this weekend. (We had 4 people quit ops at the same time...better jobs.) I did more punching buttons than replacing them...
