This was during the time the NBC-TV Network had the Sugar, Rose and Orange Bowls on New Year's Day.

Interesting... Betty White and her hubby Allen Ludden were on competing networks...
 
Allen Ludden almost had to be on CBS. That was
"Password"'s network at the time; also, he was an
adopted Texan (although born in Wisconsin) who
graduated from the University of Texas and taught in
the Austin public schools before beginning his broadcasting
career. As to why Betty White was on NBC, I have no idea.

Has anyone noticed the lack of special programming on ABC?
The following year they carried the Tournament of Roses
Parade (I remember Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the
hosts), and the ratings were a disaster. ABC didn't carry
the Rose Parade again until it got the Rose Bowl in when,
'89? Now it seems as if CBS is getting out of New Year's
programming; they no longer have the Rose Parade and the
only football game they had this past Thursday was the
Gator Bowl.

I did some research on what Betty White was doing during this time. It seems she was a regular panelist on what would have been the original run of "Match Game" on NBC which ran from 1962 to 1969. It seems it aired at 4pm live, so there are very few remaining episodes. The "Match Game" that most of us know is a revival that appeared on CBS starting in 1973.
