...any idea which promotions each would have been? Were the WKRC and WXIX, and WDRB 11 PM and WLKY 11:30 PM, possibly the same promotion and even the same show? Also interesting to see that in Lexington at 3:00 the choice was either American League Baseball or wrestling between the three stations (I'll assume the same promotion did not buy the same hour slot on WKYT and WBLG, that really would have been overkill)...
