what it is, the tv guide got the listings from the networks and TV stations a couple of weeks before 11-22-1963, and this issue was being printed for mailing and sale before the events in Dallas. which is why you see the listings for the Army-Navy game for this date.
 
Even with the Army-Navy listing being incorrect, it might be noted that eventual telecast on December 7, 1963 provided the first use of instant re-play for a televised sports event. CBS-TV aired the game from Philadelphia Stadium (later re-named JFK Stadium) and the use of the immediate re-plays prompted announcer Lindsey Nelson to continue to emphasize to viewers when they were watching a tape. Navy, led by Heisman Trophy winner-to-be quarterback Roger Staubach, held off Army in the contest, 21-15.

WKRC 12 (ABC) - Cincinatti

9:00 AM American Bandstand (guests: Brian Hyland and Bobby Bare) (a possible one week delay)

Was this the episode that was to air on November 23, 1963 and possibly was pre-empted because of the Kennedy assassination since the other ABC stations WKYT and WLKY were carrying that week's American Bandstand with Chubby Checker and Donald Jenkins?

As the other stations are showing the episode with Chubby and Donald, maybe the delayed episode on WKRC was two weeks old, as ABC did not provide a new episode on 11/23, due to the assassination, and WKRC did not show the delayed 11/16 edition, for obvious reasons.
 
Seems that the only NBC Saturday morning show not carried by WAVE was "The Bullwinkle Show", unless the station aired it in a Sunday slot.
 
WAVE did not carry "Bullwinkle".

As for "American Bandstand," remember that the Nov. 23
issue was already on the stands when JFK was killed, and
the Nov. 30 one would have been in preparation (some stores
would have had it as early as Nov. 25, theoretically). So
it sounds like one of two things: either the show airing on
Ch. 12 was the show TV Guide was told would air in pattern
on the 23rd, or Ch. 12 was on a two-week delay and this
show aired on ABC Nov. 16.

The Nov. 30 issue did carry a small note that the networks
turned over all their facilities to coverage of the aftermath
of the assassination. However, everything else appears to
be as planned (both the magazine content and the stations'
schedules) before the events of Nov. 22 shook things up.
