WAVE/3/Louisville must have been airing a few ABC programs, in addition to NBC, prior to WLKY's sign on in 1961. I notice "The Real McCoys" which I believe was an ABC show, listed in the WAVE log for 10:30. I believe the Real McCoys aired at 7:30 or 8:00 eastern time on the regular ABC schedule.
 
Both WAVE and WHAS carried a few ABC shows
(WAVE more than WHAS), but for some reason
the local edition of TV Guide never listed WAVE
as NBC/ABC or WHAS as CBS/ABC, although it
did with WLEX and WKYT.

Of course, today WHAS is the ABC affiliate in
Louisville.
