I see a show called "Defiance Review" listed on Channel 15 in Fort Wayne. Does that show have anything to do with Defiance, Ohio (about an hour east of Fort Wayne)?

Could be...the station aired a daily "Review" show weekdays at 9am and again at sign-off focusing on various communities in the broadcast area.

And for the record, the other communities that week were...
Mon: Columbia City
Tues: Kendallville
Wed: Angola (aired 9:15 according to the listings, but that may be typo as they had Garry Moore listed 9-9:15)
Fri: Van Wert
