Man.Challenge sounds like it might be reruns of Man and the Challenge,
a short-lived (1959-60) NBC adventure series about a scientist who tested the
limits of human endurance. George Nader played Dr. Glenn Barton.

I noticed that the CBC-affiliated outlets were airing Queen Elizabeth II's visit to Canada on this date. Since Canada does recognizes the Queen, was this a mandatory requirement from the CBC, since they are a Crown Corporation of the Canadian Government?

 

[azumanga]

Considering that all CBC affiliates listed here are private affiliates, apparently not -- channel 9 only carried the Queen's departure (presumably from Windsor) in the morning, while 8 and 10 carried her arrival (presumably in London, Ontario) later in the day. Don't know if either of these events were networked nationwide or provincewide on the CBC.

 

[mjlarochelle]

The Queen's visit coverage was national CBC coverage - The Toronto Star shows CBLT broadcasting this coverage on the same date. Queen Elizabeth was visiting Ottawa on July 5, and she did not visit London, Ont. during her 1967 trip to Canada; she would return to Canada in 1973 and she visited London then.

CKLW in Windsor broadcast the absolute minimum CBC schedule possible at that time. They were American-owned and functioned more or less as a Detroit independent. As is my understanding, private CBC affiliates at that time were not requried to clear a large amount of the CBC network schedule; CJIC in Sault Ste. Marie cleared very little CBC programming in the 1960s as well, perhaps because they were also a border station and had to compete with several American stations on the other side of the river. CKLW relied heavily on movies, while CJIC relied heavily on local programming.

What happened at 9:30 on WSEE? Surely there was only 1 episode of Green Acres.
