WCPO Ch. 9 Cincinnati (CBS)

8 AM Mister Mayor (Bob Keeshan wanted this show, which he
          owned, to replace "Captain Kangaroo," which he didn't.
          We all know it didn't happen; the Captain was back to
          six days a week in the fall of '65.)

I wonder if one reason why Bob Keeshan dropped "Mr. Mayor" after one year was that he had gained ownership of "Captain Kangaroo" in 1965.
 
7:30 Gospel Jubilee

Odd to see this on Saturday instead of Sunday morning. I think the station in Dallas that carried Fritz Von Erich's Saturday night wrestling show also had the Jubille as part of a block of country music programs and westerns that preceded wrestling.
