This was also the day that the 1964 Indianapolis 500 was held. You'll note no coverage of it was on regular TV. In the first laps of the race, an accident took place that wound up killing drivers Eddie Sachs and Dave MacDonald. In the aftermath of the crash, the race was delayed for a long period of time.

Nick Clooney on a station that wasn't in Cincinatti? Wikipedia says he had started his TV days in Lexington as a news anchor. Wonder what kind of show this was?

American Bandstand and a religious show back to back...weren't there a few markets in those days where some preacher's had requested not to have their shows be placed next to American Bandstand? I seem to remember hearing a radio interview with Dick Clark a long time ago where he had mentioned it. I know back in the late 70's when Baltimore's WBFF-TV 45 aired some syndicated dance show for a brief time on Sunday nights ( Soap Factory Disco ? ), I think it was Rex Humbard or maybe it was Ernest Angley who had requested a different time slot because they didn't want their program to air next to one of those "dance shows".
